and stern expression does not
indicate a good heart nor a clear
conscience. A thief seldom
smiles. The woman of the streets
smiles with her lips, but her
eyes are hard and cold. The
poverty stricken man on the
street who begs for a dime. sends
his plea direct to your heart if
his appeal is accompanied by a
smile. Only the failures of life
never smile. A smile is the cry
of the sentry of the soul-"All's
Wellp' -Exchange.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Hays.
One of the largest crowds ever
assembled in Puryear was here
Sunday in response to the gener-
al invitation to the singing at
the Primitive Baptist Church.
ED. W. E. Brush, of Greenfield
delivered a pleasing sermon to
the immense audience at eleven
o'clock. Two young, men whose
names the reporter failed to get,
led the song service and people
of every belief and denomination,
men, women, boys and girls join
ed in singing the hymns of long
ago, Rock of Ages, Jesus Lover
of My Soul, Hark From the Tomb
etc. 1t was surprising to many
that numbers of children and
Juniors knew most of the songs
from memory proving that the
hymns of long ago still survive
in spite of the introduction and
supposed popularity of modern
music and musical phrases. At
noon bountiful basket dinner
was served in the Grove near the
church. Master Hope Eastwood
gave reading in the afternoon
and was followed by short SER
mon from one of the visiting
ministers. After a few more
songs the crowd dispersed carry
ing pleasant memories of the
occasion.

.BUTTING-IN" IN MEXICO.

Except as MT. Hughes and his
 friends put on mourning for Huerta, they have no Mexican issue. Not one of them ventures publicly to proclaim his sympathy with the wolfsh interests whose hopes fell with Huerta.
 It is Huerta, however, who Is cited lby Republican newspapers and speak CTS as victim of the Ad- )ministration. It is Huerta's overthrow, exile and death. with German money in his pockets, as contracted with Car tranza's halfway success and recog- milton as a de facto Executive, that they refer to when they speak of Pres ident Wilson's "vacillation in Mexico" And who was Huerta? A drunken Indian who, having gained high mili- tary command, betrayed his trust; im- prisoned the constitutional President and Vice President; took advantage of their cowardly assassination, procured in his interest, to proclaim himself dic- tator; put the Congress of the repub- lie in Jail and dispersed the courts, ma- king money meantime with both hands.
 MT. Hughes says our policy toward
 Mexico has been 'inept" because we interfered with Huerta and we have
 not interfered with Carranza Is his
 grief for Huerta so keen and his de-
 sire for wicked war so unrestrained
 that he-for six years a Justice of the Supreme Court-can see no difference
 between Huerta and a. Carranza? Gen. Carranza is not an admirable
 character, but he represents the sover-

Ted by ever concessionaire in the coun- try. He is the best, as Huerta was tho worst. that a distracted land has recently had to offer. Why shouldn't decent American influence be on his side, even though he may not have the enlightenment to appreciate it?
 It is not an accident that ever ex- ploiter of Mexico has become mourn CT for Huerta. He was the hope of every soldier of fortune on earth. When he murdered Madero, he thought and his followers thought that the treasure-house of the world had been opened to them. The frown of the President of the United States soon ended their dream of plumber.
 MT. Wilson has used the expression "butting-in in Mexico" He is instant ly accused of inconsistency by those who grieve for Huerta because he "butted in'' against that monster and does not butt in" against the present feeble but lawful Administration. To but in" now would be to raise up an- other Huerta or to subject an inpover- ished people to the most inexcusable and rapacious of all conquests. MT. Wilson did "butt in" against Huerta, and for good reason. His extreme pa : Etience with Carranza. who is neither murderer nor thief, is to the everlast- ing honor of the. United States.
 For seventy years most Americans have reproached themselves for the motives and methods of those who conducted the war with Mexico in 1846. That was said to have been a slave holders war. What would Americans seventy years hence say of a war against Mexico for the vindica- ton of a red-handed despot and for the enrichment of flibusters in land, oil and mines ?-New York World.
