me way from papa TO Juarez.' insisted
little three year old GuiIlavio LaZas.
when he was found wandering on Co
merCiO street in JuareZ Thursday
morning wearing only his underwear,
his clothes having been taken from
him.
The boy. who is the son OF Salvador
Lazas. disappeared from mis- home
Tuesday morning after being sent 10
store on an errand- a search extend
ing over two DAYS and nights was
made for him and he was finally found
in Juarez in a semi nude condition.
The little boy was so badly fright

had given him some candy and then
taken him TO JuareZ That was as
much as he could tell when he was
found.

erences to the warfare at Ludlow,
Colo, and was shown to be grossly
misleading, in fact, a libel on the
many good men and women who
were fighting for industrial liberty in
the Rockefeller estate.
At the time some persons presumed
that the sermon was only the out
pouring Of man who took the rich
mans point of view. But, nay! Such
language as he used could only come
from one who was thoroughly class
conscious, as events have proved.
Among other things he said: ''This
civil war in Colorado is largely trace
able to leaders, some of whom are ig-
nOrant, some of whom are misguided,
some of whom are vicious, and some
of whom are traitors to their follow
ers and their country"
Them were harsh words, Nell, for
truep' Now comes a story from New
York that the reverend doctors for
tune had been swept away in lumber
and coal deals in the northwest. Why,
the sly reverend doctor was a capital
iSt all the time and wore the green
whiskers of Christianity as a dis
guise! The news story of this said:
"In various circles it was said that
the preacher had for several years
engaged in extensive ventures in coal
and timber in the northwest and that
he has become financially involved,
although at one time he was making
money in these enterprises. DR.. Hill
lis, in an interview in Portland, Ore,
where he was sued for $4,000 on a
note, admitted he had borrowed
100000, but insisted that he had de-
voted the money to making good loss
es of two of his nephews in business
deals"
The cycle is not yet complete. The
news story said that Sir Alfred
Harmsworth, the London publisher,
had been interested in the deals with

COURT PRACTICE. - Non-inter-
ference in the family relations of the
people has always been a cardinal
principle among the lawmakers Of
Enghsh-speaking people. Through
out the network of our law we find
permanently interviewer the principle
that the relations of husband and
wife and of parent and child are holy;
and, as far as possible, must not be
torn open to public gaze.
So deeply rooted in our legal sys-
tenn is that principle that, for many
years, husband and wife could not
testify against each other in a court
of law under any circumstances. EX-
