FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN POLITICS

Jeremiah A. OIeary of New York City, head of the American Truth Society" which represents itself standing for honest American neutrality said in tel egram to the president after the recent election:
 "The voters of the Bronx placing America first have elected William S. Bennett republican, in an over whelming democratic district as protest against your administration, which has always placed England first
 It may be remarked parenheticaly that other polit cal authorities in New York-who of course may pre- judiced-explain the matter differently They say Mir Bennett's district is normally republican,; that in the previous election the republicans and progressves divided had plurality of l4oo the democrat tick et while this year united, they had only 700 maporty that therefore the figures don't support Mir oLeays interpretation
 But that is not the main consideration Whether there was a republican democratic victory isn't i'm porant The point is that the head of professedly neutral proAmercan organization. (composed chiefly of rishAmericans and German-Amercans) has boasted
 Introducing an alien issue American politics and attaching to the great political parties what has become to be known as "hypenism"
 The real leaders of the party deplore any such attempt Col RooseveIs indignant attitude toward anything of the sort is well known. ExPresdent Taft has repear edy approved of the very things the American Truth Society" condemns and condemned concerning the ma
 onal defense which all the Brofessed neutrality and "truthv societies trying to Joseph H. choate of the elder statesmen of the republican party says
 'I want express the feryent hope that partisan spirit will into this matter of national prepared ness and for should be heartily ashamed of the party to which l belong if it tried any way to make capital out of the of the president to make this country ready not for war, but for peace"
 This whole question is a very difficult to discuss in print or on the platform the pulpit because o the political sntagonisms and racial animosites it arouses And yet it ought be discussed frankly and freely is only by honest discussion and intelligent public appreciation that a grave be removed from the political fife Of the country
 It may or may be admitted the New Yorb World maintains, that any party for which any grea body of hyphenated citizens" attaches itself for the pose united political expression is doomed 10 defeat The World, being a Democratic newsfaper and zealou in defense of President Wilson, may not clearly

 The Reading Machine takes moving pictures of the readers eyes, showing how many times the eyes move reading line and where and often they stop There is also phonograph attachment which repro duco each syllable and means of registering tn eat. tenton and luency the reader For instance if the light were snapped off page while you were reading certain word you would be able to read on bit fur ther from memory just the musician reads measure or two ahead of the measure he is playing Your flu. ency as reader is estimated by the number of words you ahead of the one you are actually pronounclng
 All this is rather technical dconplicated, might think as a method of teaching the young idea how to
 read but few of the ideas of the boy read page aloud without great discomfort the listener Public school are large and the time for individual practice in reading necessarily small And this small practice period the school day is no longer supplemented by reading aloud at home Many of the parents fact scarcely better readers than their offspring.
 Reading aloud as an art has been rather neglected of late yearsand yet there finer art that makes for greater delight in the home Nowadays the members family are apt to after the dinner hour. What with dancing and the movies and the low cost fordcars is almost no thing gather ing whole family around the evening lamp. The trou- ble is. they gathered evening lamps
 And dancing movieattending and automobiling all pleasant and useful ways of passing evenings But two nights week spent home wit hone good book circing around everyone taking the read ing is even more pleasant and useful
 It makes the family unit for a time The thought or all the members is concentrated upon subject TO read a good story entertaining biography essay and to discuss it sit along is fine way 10 keep the minds of young and old alert It's also fine way discover the intellectual capacities of various mem bers of the family-too often underestimated iegong world.
 The art Of reading in itself is very delicate and glowing Anyone read aloud" you say2 Quite the contrary Listen to half dozen people trying their hands the simplest magazine article and you will convinced Then listen with you minds ear to Julia Narowe repeating Shakespearian verse Forbes Rob you will realize that the enunciaton O. words may have in it the beauty of genius.
 Now the long winter evenings. It's a splendid to revive this most delightful of actiyes-and tho listeners may keep hands busy with modelling or needle work they may revive another valuable almost miss ing art, that sitting quietly with muscles in repose.

dence of insanity and during the trial was very interested party and watch ed every move that was made and listened very attentively to the testi- mony of the witnesses and the entire proceedings. Letters he has written out of the prison since to parties also fail to show any signs of insanity 1t is the belief here that he is shamming in order to escape the death penalty for the murder for which he has been convicted.
 Work Is Started.
 force of county prisoners was put to work this morning at the edge of the city limits beginning the work of building a new road fro mthe old hos pital site to a point near the ceme- tery The work when completed will do away with the bad stretch of road down the hill and the danger curve and bridge across the ravine. Several accidents have occurred at this point and it has been one of the worst curves on the Borderland Route. It is expected that the work will take at least a couple of weeks to complete. There are six prisoners at work on the job at present and others will be added in the next few days. The work is being done under the direction of the county engineers office.
 Out to Investigate.
 County Attorney Ross and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors A. C. Karger left this morning to visit the State road camp in Tombstone canyon. Com plaint had been made that the prison CTS in shooting the charges in the rock swere of such force to do con siderable damage to property in that | locality and that the little school house that had been erected there was being damaged For Q snort distance in the vicinity of the school house | there is considerable heavy rock work ' to be done and it requires large 1 charges of powder to be placed in or der to remove the necessary rock from the cliffs for the grade Al the time the school trustees were talking of moving the school house into the canyon, they were asked by Mir. Ryan, the state engineer. to wait until the blasting had been done before they moved the building but they wanted it moved in time for the opening of school. lt is probable that the matter will be settled satisfactorily.
 Are All Convicted.
 | Those residents of COchise county who were so unfortunate as Co be caught violating the laws of Uncle Sam within the past few months and who have been tried before the pres ent jury in Tucson since the first of 1 November, have been more unfortun- ate in the fact that all of them have been convicted of the various oifenses for which they were charged. The last one to be convicted was the negro, ! Loveless, who was charged with rape, alleged to have been committed on the Huachuca military reservation. The jury brought in verdict of guilty with the qualification" without the death penalty, The IT. $. law provides that the death penalty may be imposed All of the smugglers from Naco a2d Douglas ord one from Johnson have been convicted with the exception of ".
