on PRESIDENT WILSON.

Editor Of FL Paso Herald:
President Wilson in vetoing the immigra-
ton bill because Of the Hteracy test gives
further evidence Of the working of acade-
mic mind. His stilted. didactic phrasing
never seems or sounds more stilted and
movement or measure that appears to him
to be tangential to the proper course Of an
ideal republic In his earlier declarations
on public questions he boldly confessed the
purpose Of schooling himself in practical
politics His success is suggestive Of astrO-
nomical observations made from the gyring
perspective Of a cyclone.
The old theories, reverberating with the
thunders Of equality, fraternity and liberty,
were effective enough dynamic center5

republics. and particularly as d fruitful
source for idiOsyncracies IN the idealist-

fold phases will inevitably learn that such
q combination proves only a rope Of sard
IN the preservation OF form and principles
In governmental experience when that gold
en- trinity is transformed into an chronological
alembic in which is attempted the fusion OF
ell the heterogeneous clements Of which the
races are composed.
Mr. Wilson's representative conscience
and hyper-critical intellect scorns to abridEe
so doing obscures the mediate rights OF

Bisbee. Ariz.. Feb. 6.-The Hoatson
shaft CT the Calumet & Arizona Min
ing company has been reopened for
operations for the first time since it
was closed last August when the Euro
pean war sent the copper market crash
ing Twenty men were put TO work in
the shaft, and the number is expected 10
be increased in the near future.
A much better feeling is apparent in
mining circles here, and also among the
merchants. It is believed Bisbee will
again soon be on the footing of last
spring when il was called the biggest
copper mining center in the United
States.
The Hoatson ore will be taken out
through the Junction shaft as was
originally planned. The skips Of the
Hoatson will be used for hauling pas
sengers and material. It is forecast
that the electric tram connecting up
the hoist workings will be in operation
within q few weeks.

EDITOR II PaSO HeraIu-
The livest city in America today is FL
Paso. I have been in 20 states and have
closely observed the present condition Of in
dustrial unrest and find Fl Paso to be the
most progressive city in the west.
Attending the political meeting last night
at the skating ring on Mills street. 1 was
surprised TO hear bunch Of critics going
into details Of the most sacred Of all ties,
the family life; also commenting and max
ing grim faces of the creature of God
handiwork, namely the creation Of man.
What the people of e. PasO are eager to
hear is a greater FL Paso; let be pro-
gressive not retrOgressive, IS our critics
surely are.
