SOB WRITER GOES AFTER PATHETIC STORY
IN ORDER THAT FOLKS MAY LAUGH

q have an idea" the sob writer
said, approaching the city editors
desk. 1T came to me from bitter
experience. l met a man yesterday,
q Mr.. Swanson, and he told me he
had laundry bill against me because
my sob writer stories made his wife
weep so cOpiOusly that she needed
several handkerchiefs a day. Now,
since those were funny stories that
she was weeping over, don't you
think it would be well to write some
thing in my pathetic vein that"
Il am not surprised" the city edi-
tor interrupted. q, myself, have felt
tempted to weep over your idea of
humOr, but since you have such a
rare thing as an idea, won't disCOuT-
age the first one have known you to
possess, so go forth and let me
work"
Under her hat the S. W. nuTsed in
dignatiOn, but true to her training
she smiled respectfully and left the
Office. Some hours later she sought
the C. e. on the telephone.
Isn't it the queeTest thing?" she
asked plaintively, that whenever one
is out for funny stuff nothing turns
up but tragedy, and when one is
seeking tragedy, comedy spOuts from
the mouths even of children"

tility, but it really-well, one thing
that seriously recommended itself to
my attention and I really want to
treat seriously, anyway, was the ad-
mOnitiOn of Judge Rooney to a wife

He didn't put it quite so broadly,
but it needs to be put plainly. One Of
the things that has frequently eXas-
perated me is the married women /

if they died they would be willing for
me to marry their husbands, when,
in each case, l have felt that would
not marry the man if there wasn't
another man on earth, and polite
ness only has prevented my saying
so, therefore
Come on, come on" said the c. e.
''WhO do you think this is, the editor
of the. lovelOrn column? If you have
anything to say, begin"
Pardon me" said the S. W. sweet

didn't seem any more desirable to
me-a Mr.. John Burk, but he admit
ted that there is some other woman
who likes him, so, if he was truthful,
it may be that-well, won't go into
that angle. He was cabaretting, his
wife said, and the Judge told him he
should pay his wife $40 a week, then
he wouldn't have so much left to take
the other lady out, and he agreed.
Then there was one other case
that should be treated with due Sc
robustness. Mrs. George List left her
husband and went home to her moth
er's to live just because he was about
to rent a fiat that she did not like In
unmistakable terms the judge told
her that her place was with her hus-

WELDING THE HAMMER

Col. Roosevelt called in the news
paper correspondents at Oyster Bay
last week and got his little hammer
in action again. There was nothing
new in what he said. 1t was the same
old 'pessimistic fermentation. He is
peeved, ostensibly, because President
Wilson does not see fit to adopt his
ideas, but his real grievance goes
deeper than that. He still remem-
bers what happened to him in 1912,
and srharting under that overwhelm-
ing defeat, he can not see any merit
in President Wilson. Most men of
prominence are broad enough, in
such a trying time as this, to put
partisan feeling aside in support of
the President in maintaining order,
and they are hoping that war may be
avoided il it can be done without sac
rificing the national honor or sub
hitting to intolerable abuses, but
Col. Roosevelt is doing the very op-
posite. The extremists have made it
very difficult for the nation to pre-

serve order and at the'same' time deal
with belligerents. The spirit of ex-
President Taft is a happy contrast.
While not in harmony with President
Wilson politically, he has SO far given
his moral support to the country. He
recognizes that this is not time to
air petty grievances. 1t is time for
every true American to stand behind
the President, who is charged with
the responsibility Of guiding the ma
tion through the difficulties besetting
1t, arising in other countries. There
are almost as many ideas of how this
should be done as there are people,
but that does not argue that the
President should adopt every plan
that is offered. If Roosevelt were the
President the people would follow
him in spirit of patriotism, defer
ring to his judgment as chief execu-
tive of the government and having
first-hand information. They are do
ing the same thing by President Will

They're Getting Numerous

OF all the onery looking specimens
of humanity that ever congregated
in one place, the town of Liberal has
at present more than her share. They
seem to enjoy life as much as anyone,
they toll not, neither do they spin,
but get by with 1t in some fashion.
A "vag" sentence means nothing to
them but two good meals day and
place to sleep at night, which is all
they want, and one or two instances
have been reported where they have
taken meals at local restaurants and
ordered the proprietor to charge 1t
to the town" Down about the depot
and railroad yards you find little
stickers on everything proclaimins
Shorter hours, better wages, sabo-
tage," and few other things, all Of
said labels bearing the I. w. w. sign
and label. The Democrat. believes in
labor unions and justice to the labor
ing man clear down the line, but it
does not regard the I. w. w. as a
laboring mans organization or an
institution that fosters anything but
deeds Of violence and contempt of
law and order bordering on anarchy.
We hope the federal government will
some day take hand in their little
game and put the whole crew where
they will show little respect for
constituted authority or suffer the
consequences.

A PR0TECT0RATE
Says United States Should Assume
Practical Control Over Mexico But
Not in Political Way.

The killing of Is Americans by
Mexican bandits near Chihuahua plain
ly demonstrates that Carranza has no
control over that country and that the
United States will eventually have to
establish a protectorate over Mexico
asserts Captain F. J. Ellison, former
officer of the United States army, who
recently returned from the border line
Captain Ellison is stopping at the New
Harper in this city and is here on bust
ness. He is in close touch with the
Mexican situation owing to CONNER
cial interests he has in Texas and
Mexico.
The bandit attack took place right
near Carranza's own province and GER
tainly if outbursts such as that of Mon
day will occur so near his own prov
ince, from amongst his own people, the
only conclusion is that his govern
ment will be weak and present indi-
cations would be taken to mean that
the country under his regime will be
far from settled" Captain Ellison said.

"The only course this country
should pursue therefore is to assume
control of Mexico, not politically but
in practical way. We should estab-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

At the regular weekly general as

afternoon a program was furnished
by Norman H. Camp, lawyer evan
gelist, and Mr.. Kairns, his leader of
singing, who are now conducting a
successful religious revival at the
Broadway Presbyterian church. Rev.
James Edgar Wilson, pastor of the
church, accompanied them and, after
being introduced by Mrs. Cora L.
Eastman, assistant principal, who took
charge OF the assembly during A. J.
Burton's absence, introduced the two
men to the audience Mr.. Kairns first
sang for the students and was fol-
talk
In his talk, Mr. Camp likened the
human body to a timepiece, each hav-
ing a face, hands, and two sides, the
outside and the inside. The face and
hands, Mr. Camp-declared, were in
both cases the indicators of the con-
diti0n of the inside, but when these
indicators were out OF order the need
was not for new indicators, but for
new inside, which, in the case of the
watch, meant repairing of the main
spring or some vital part of the works,
and, in the case Of the human body, a
change Of heart. Mr.. Camp secured
the good will of his audience by his
talk and impressed il very favarably.
