A Missing Word Found

In its latest diplomatic communica-
tons the United States uses the word
Humanity" which has been much
overlooked of late. 1t is a term to be
approached with due respect, for
those who undertake to challenge it
find themselves resorting to argu-
ments that do not look right or sound
right. 1t may happen that something
new introduced in war could, for the
moment, ignore noncombatant rights,
natural and other, but a diplomat who
tried to make a plea for intensified
cruelty and Indifference to the suf-
ferings of the unarmed would pro-
duce something that must quickly
arouse his own sense of shame. The
best thing he could do would be to
drop the effort into the waste basket
The United States is the richest
nation in the world, but is not I'M
mindful of the truth that while a
giants strength is good, it is not
well to use it UNANIMOUSLY. George
Washington was a rich man, but never
purse proud nor arrogant. Abraham
Lincoln was never rich nor interested
in any of the arts of money breed
ing. Yet any so-called statesman who
sought to refute his Gettysburg ad-
dress would render himself ridiculous
and take a place among freaks.
An answer to the American position
on the killing of women, children and
other noncombatants might be defiant,
curt or evasive, but if it attempted to
be argumentative its holes will be so
many and glaring that it would prac-
tically be its own reply and discom-

PRESERVING OUR RECORD
Lamar Is a Dry Town and Our Ball
Team Won't Leave the Cellar

After the third game of the season
we feel in the right mood to fully
sympathize with Editor Murphy Of
the Las Animas Leader, who last year
had to burn up all the gray matter in
his brain explaining why the Las An
imas team did not win. As reporter
we are forced to admit that Lamar did
not win, but as a loyal fan we are
still believing they have it in them
and will hope for better news next
Sunday.
1t was a hard game to lose, but it
was all done in one bad inning when a
combination Of errors and hits Melted
the visiting team three unearned runs
and the game. Adams pitched six
innings and showed that he can pitch
winning ball when properly support
ed. Fred Littler pitched the last three
innings and the Fort Lyon boys could
do nothing at all with him. The next
game will be played at Fort Lyon and
on Sunday, May 80, a double header
will be played here with La Junta,
the league leaders. Lamar expects to
have the team in shape by that time
and good afternoons sport is prom
Used our people.
The game Sunday at La Junta be-
tween Rocky Ford and La Junta was
fought out for blood and went ten in
nings, La Junta winning to 3. This
places that team in first place break
ing the existing tie since the season
started. The box score of both games

Be it Resolved, That the open season

That still hunting for bucks only shall
be allowed without the use of dogs from

considerably. The wind was not ac-

later was visited by hard wind
storm, followed by hail.
