Forbidding The Children

According to Detroit dispatch, Billy Sunday, so
called evangelist, became irTitated during of his
meetings that city because little girl had Srayed
the aisle After command that the child be
moved because he said it disturbed the meeting, he
said have astounded the audience by whiring his
heel and saying shortly: Meetings closed" The peO
pie silently for moment and then quietly left the
tabernacle. Billy is very temperamental, 1t seems
If the story true 1t contrasts strangely with ordi
nary REVEALS where children usually much in evil
dence Sundays attitude related is far different
from that of Methodist revvasts, for instance who

and mothers, hungerng for spiritual uplift could
attend divine services children unwelcome,

who has tried keeping active four year old

be done except with snesthetics.
Somehow Mr. Sundays practice in this instance
square wTetchedy with divine admonition "Suffer
the little children unto and forbid them not,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven" But then, Billy
Sunday differs from Jesus Christ in number of other
particulars equally noteworthy.

Sonora Insurance Against Grating

Realizing that certain official shortcomings have
listed the past and that temptation may arise in the
future Gov de la Huerta Of Sonora has taken stitch
time by requiring all state officials and employees to
file schedules of all their real and personal property
Inasmuch as the lists would be available for purposes
of computing taxes it is assumed they would be
sonably conservative
The governors idea to provide incentive against
grating He realizes the Mexican people have more
than unjust burdens in order to fatten the
bank or property account Of person in authority
and he desires provide against it. By having befo-e
him list Of every officials property, he IS able, by
adding the officials salary and the amount which he
might expect TO receive income from his property
the officials approximate total income The governor
could then Judge for himself whether suspected Of

Let The Yaquis Have Land

Military authorities of Sonora are still. wrestling
with the Yaqu Indian problem, and they still have
brisk their hands just other Mexican leaders
Sonora have had since the days Of Gen Luis Torres
The Indians have been fighting for years for the
cry Of their lands IN the Yaqui valley, resentng the
fact that taken from them and sold foreigners
and it appears they will keep fighting until the
last Indian dies
Development Of the state has been retarded and great
loss of life and property caused by the warfare Of Mex
leans with the Yaquis. The fighting, rading, killing
and burning has only been interrupted when Mexican
factions fought each other or when foreign
threatened. At such time the Indians have been
listed in military service under promise of reganing
their lands as reward. Of the promises have
been made good. 1t is slight wonder the Indians
have come TO lose all faith in the word of Mexican
chiefs.
There time, shortly after MadepO became presi
dent when commission surveyed the remaining avail
able agricultural land in the Yaqui valley with the In
Ienton of apportoning among the Indians and Civ
ing every family little farm Some difficulty arose
With the chiefs however, and the project dropped
Since that time there has been effort to provide land
for the Indians.
Mexico would have found 1t measure Of economy IN
money and certainly life and property to buy up the
whole Yaqu valley and return 1t the Indians. Fail
ing that steps should be undertaken promptly
possible to provide other good land for the Indians
and make them what they used TO be, Industrious
