Is the extinction. as % separate corps,

days OF the Spanish domination.
The rurales will be merged In the

 Peace lifts breeding wings over the shrubs and gaunt stalks along wayside fences. but the woods stands in somber grandeur, awaiting the awakening cal of spring Creation will in few weeks touch triumphant chord and nature will come into her own again. The woods in winter present pathetic picture of desertion. Insect chatter is hushed.

Democracy and Idealism

Many successful educators are men of large capacity for business ad- ministration, while others confine themselves to academic thinking, which is all well and good.
 Civilization owes much to the dreamer, and even science with it's in exorable laws, has been quickened by mans imagination. The world has always needed the idealist and at no time more than in this commercial age. But with idealism alone the world would move backward instead of forward. Practical ideas must be ever present in all great human ac- tivities and no amount of theorizing will make for progress if the practi- cal be wanting.
 Democracy is a favorite theme of the idealist and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia uni yersity, placed himself in the idealist class when he delivered gripping address at the opening session of the Southern Commercial congress 1T Charleston Monday. In referring te to the war, Dr. Butler urged the Uni ted States to prepare to aid Europe at the end of the conflict in building up. He contended that the first tasl of this country would be "to bint up the wounds of stricken world ant to lead the way to that new con struction of the overturned politica fabric which, if it is to endure, car rest upon no other principles thar

The Fate of Huerta

While momentous events have been changing the complexion of affairs In Mexico, resulting in the establish mept of the Carranza government on an apparently firm foundation and inc discomfiture of General Villa, who is though to be making his last stand in Northern Mexico, General Huerta has remained a prisoner or the United States at Fort Bliss, charged with conspiracy. Jose Inez Salazar, a former Huerta general, was acquitted in the federal court at Santa Fe, N. M, when tried on similar charge, and it is thought that Huerta will also be acquitted.
 What the wiley Huerta had in view when apprehended by the American authorities has not been fully brought out. although it is evident that there was a plan on foot among the Huer- tistas to launch a revolution in Mex leo and the details of the venture had been pretty we'll worked out by Huerta's agents at Fl Paso and else where when the scheme was nipped in the bud by the interference of the federal authorities.
 By the time Huerta is tried, affairs will doubtless be so tranquilized in Mexico and Carranza will have be- come so well entrenched in power, as a result of being generally recog- nized as the de facto head of the government, that Huerta will find it neither feasible nor desirable to make trouble. There will doubtless be more revolutions in MeXico-a great many more-but Huerta's opportu- nity seems to have passed.
 Although not particularly popular in this country, because of the bloody charges made against him General Huerta was a model country gentleman in his Long Island home and if he had kept out of plots might still be enjoying his liberty. If he is acquitted of the conspiracy charge he may still have to answer to the Mexican government for the conspi kacy which overthrow Madero.

WINTER WOODS

hope of perpetuating the summer sea son.
 The gray stalks of the ironweed and goldenrod bow their heads and send their featherly argosies abroad in the land
 With breeding eyes even the cheerful little sparrows look for the hidden sun
 at dawn. They chirp in spirited way, but are lost in the lonesomness of the woods.
 The day passes. Tranquility rests upon the scene like a caress. The starved meadow lands seem to hunger for the green of spring, and the restless trees seem to share this sense of want. Darkness descends. The short day draws to a quiet close. The woods ap- pear even more desolate. The light leaves and night comes on black as the indefi- mite undulations of shroud. There is a 1 full pulsed silence in the woods of win ter during the hours of night. The air about you seems vibrant and heavy with some strange, nameless force. One walks among the trees and seems to feel that I the rest of the world is but the ante chamber of fate.

POOR OLD UsHYLoCIx. AGAIN

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 We fear that our esteemed contempo- rary, the Modern View, has become un- duly agitated over the refusal of Super intendent Blewett to prevent students of the Yeatman High school from perform ing "The Merchant of Venice" We fur thermore fear that the Modern View is unnecessarily exercised over the possible effect of the play itself. The mediaeval hatred of the Jew has passed away ex- cept in parts of few countries and among the most benighted rseople. The folks who enjoy Shakespeare have the highest regard for the wonderful Jewish people. In America, England, Germany and France the Jews are distinguished out of all proportion to their number. They have been in our cabinet and pre- sided over our courts. One has been pre- mier of England and at present the high est judicial office of Great Britain is filled by Jew. One of the German Elm peror's most respected advisers is a Jew. In statesmanship, in business, in music, and in literature the Jews have left an indelible impress. Their chari- ties are famous everywhere. St. Louis is fairly representative and here Jew ish citizens have been renownd in every movement for the common veal.
 It is doubtful if any reader the "The Merchant of Venice" ever got any anti Semitic prejudice from it. AS originally played, "Shylock'' was a low comedy character. Long after Shakespeares time his tragic possibilities were brought out. As an old man, conceiving a crazy pro- ject to get revenge on prosecutors who had forgotten that he was a human be- ing, he became a strong character. He is not a Jew at all, bur a personifcation of vengeance. He fails in such a way that readers feel the pity Shakespeare had for his unique creation. The Mod ern View has a distorted view of Shy lock- and of the effect the play pro- duces The warmest admirers of the Hebrew people, ancient and modern, read '.The Merchant of Venice as children. The Modern Views protest is incompre- hensible to them.

those of democracy, of freedom, of civil liberty, of international responsi- bility and honor"
 Academic democracy such as Dr. Butler knows is good thing, but practical democracy is better, when wise and patriotic men have the leadership. But de~-~~--~oy in it's best form will not prevent war when nations become obsessed regarding rival nations.
 One might infer from Dr. Murray's remarks that democracy was unknown in Europe, or, at any rate, little ap- piled to government, and that the United States alone possessed the only genuine democracy. But the fact is that democracy is very real in sev- eral of the great powers now at war. Great Britain, monarchy in name, is to all intents and purposes, re- public. Democracy has as full play in England as it has in America.
 France is republic and is dis tinctly progressive in it's democracy. In Italy democracy abounds. Russia, with it's Czar, is still an autocracy, but the German empire, with it's Kaiser, and Hungary, restain- ing certain monarchical prerogatives, have constitutions which recognize the principles of democracy; and in recent years the socialists and social democrats have made rapid strides in Prussia and other militaristic states of Germany.
 No American knows Europe better than Dr. Butler, but this distin- guished educators love of peace and his devotion to his ideals sweeps him off his feet when he comes to discuss favorite subject such as democracy.
 After the war is at an end, this country will have plenty to do in help ing to rehabilitate the blood-drenched nations without undertaking a course of instruction in democracy, especially since it seems that democracy does not insure peace.
 Democracy is all right, but much of the talk about it is buncombe.

EXIT THE EDEN MUsEE
New York Globe.

From the New York Globe.
 So the Eden Musee is a thing of the past. In New York it never became quite the institution that Mime. Tussaud' s is in London. For one thing, because Americans have not the same veneration for institutions that English people have. It must be admitted that the English do carry it to excess when they go to the length of paying money to hear old fav- orites like Sims Reees and Charles Santley long after their voices have be- come a mere memory.
 Again, the morbid curiosity of the Eng fish is not so completely satisfied by their newspapers as is that of Americans. Very
 few English, daily papers are illustrated
 with photographs. Consequently Mme, Tussauds is still f1ourishing, whereas the little boy in the play tearfully wailing T want to see pr. Crippin'' would find no counterpart here. No doubt at this very
 day the Chamber of Horrors near the
 Baker street underground station in Lon-
 don contains more or less grewsome simu- lecra of Von Tirpitz, Captain Yon We'd digen, ct al, and a tableau of the exe-
 cution of Miss Cavell.
 It is to be noted that the fixtures of the Eden Musee are to be sold at auction.
 But what is to become of the wax fig ures? What splendid Christmas presents iley would make! Anybody wishing to remember the Hon. w. Barnes in the proper Yuletide spirit might send him the figure of T. R. That is, unless he pre- fers to send it to New Haven to cer- tain stout and rubicund professor of law ito dear Will, with love from Theo- dore.'
 For Charles Francis Murphy the wax image of Sulzer ought to be touching gift. And Bob LaFoiierte's constituents could not do better than present him with figure of Senator Ike-would it not | look handsome on his front lawn? For they're jest loike ioife,

GIJMpsEs OF MORTALITY

(Stephen Phillips, the poet, died last week in London. The following is se- lection from his "Marpessa.")
 And most | remember of all human things My mother; often as a child l pressed My face against her cheek, and felt her
 tears; Even as she smiled on me. her eyes
 would fill.
 Until my own grew ig.i. fantly wet And I in silence wondered at sorrow. When I remember this, how shall know That I myself may not, by sorrow taught, Accept the perfect stiffness of the ground? Where, though lie still. and stir not at all, Yet shall I irresistibly be kind, HelpIessly sweet wandering garden bliss. My ashes shall console and make for peace; This mind that injured, be an endless balm, Or if there be some other world with no Bloom, neither ripping sound, nor early smell, Nor leaves. nor pleasant exchange of hu- human speech; Only dreadful pacing to and fro Of spirits meditating on the sun; A land of barred boughs and grieving Yet would I not forego the, doom. the place, Whither my poets and my heroes went Before me; warriors that with deeds for lorn Ss ddened my youth, yet made it great to live; Lonely antagonists of Destiny,
 That went down scornful before many spears, Who, soon as we are born. are straight our friends; And live in simple music, country songs. And mournful ballads .by the winter fire. Since they have died. their death is ever
 mine;
 I would not lose it
