you please interpret for men and many
others, what Saint Luke says in chapter
1. verse IS: And all generations shall
call Me blessed" How hOnored was the
angel when he announced TO Mary;
Hail thou, who is full Of grace; the
Lord is with thee" And yet you claim
to hold worship for her Son and deny
Mary the relative honor OF being the
mother of your God and the queen OF
angels
Surprising you were the governor Of
the state and all people in FL Paso
held a reception in your honor and you
had your dear mother at your side and
the crowds sighted her, how would you
take to it? Do you suppose that Jesus
has no feeling for the woman who de-
liivered Him, and who went through
a world Of sorrow for Him?
Ny dear friend, you must remember
that Jesus was the most prosecuted
man OF His time, as were His apostles
and the primitive Christian by both
Jew and pagan and IL looks to me that
you seem inclined to continue those
prosecutions in the twentieth century
by criticism as regards our mode Of
worship at which, 1 am fully aware,
you are no adept.
Now. il you can't say anything good
Of us please let us alone We shall
continue as we have for the past 1889

the Bible, all well and good, but please
obey the law-hear the church.

Galatians, /. V. 8, OF st. ePter, 2:5, Y
1917, or St James 2, V. 10, say?
Now, then, my dear friend. by your
private prophecy you must admit that
mems opinions are as changeable as
mems faces, and do we not see It?

MORE ON PAVING.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Ny letter dated Feb. % to you in
reply 10 Mr.. McComb's letter on good
roads seems not to be explicit, so will
explain as near as 1 remember, the
location Of cracks on few city streets
paved with bitulithic in the past two
or three years.
I wish first to say that I am not
out searching for defects in any class
OF construction Of our city streets or
county roads, but having been over
these streets a great number Of times,
which / referred to in my letter OF a
couple Of days ago, have noticed de-
fects on account OF them showing so
plain.
These streets are North Mesa avenue
north OF River street: Romero street
from West Boulevard north to the
Sunset fire station; two streets rum
ming east and west, (Which I do not
know their names) in Castle Heights
addition. both Of which are in a very
poor condition.
I also saw a number Of streets in
Richmond terrace. some time back, that
had cracked pretty badly " but since
then ] believe these streets have been
re-surfaced by the Bitulithic company,
as I no longer notice the same cOhdi-
tioa existing.
These streets mentioned are only
those which ] have come In contact
with, and as lar as sub-fOundation is
concerned, I cannot see where one
could get a better or firmer foundation
anywhere in the county than these
streets, so this defect cannot be blamed
on the sublgrade
will add that II this condition Is, al
lowed to exist on such as these streets.
what would be the condition IL our
county roads were all paved with the.
same material?
I wish to go further and give the
Butulithic company credit for which
II deserves, and of which we all know
is noticed by not only our home people,
but visitors TO our great enterprising
city, and that is the downtown streets
fof which you say We have never seen
cracks in them.) No, they are not there.
and in all probability will never be. as
these streets were constructed differ
entity than those we are now getting
And believe these streets will still be
as good when some Of our asphalt
macadum" streets paved under former
city officials. are replaced with some
other pavement
Bitulithic is no doubt the best pave
ment we have here for our city streets
at least at the present writing-but
there is just as good material for paw
ing as bitulithic and this other mate
rial has been given a test IN other cit
les throughout Texas and proven itself
equal
That IS why say that 7 do not think
there is but one satisfactory kind OF
paying for our county roads ANYWAY
let's have a little patience and see for
ourselves, as ] see that the county is
now advertising for bids for n small
strip OF concrete paving
] feel safe in saying that have con-
structed more roads and streets than
quite few who reside in the county
and. although do not know everything
in road building. I do know that there
is plenty OF room for Improvement

The Brighter Side

The Harvard LampoOn, joke periodical, celebrated
its 4oth anniversary the other day. and boasts that
unlike most college journals it has suffered any
intervals of suspended animation but has come out
regularly never missing a number in all that time.
1t proves its right live in its contribution of many
genuine jokes jess, quips and turns, to the enjoy
ment of the day.
Flegende Blaetter, the German funny paper, some
times considered the funniest paper in the world, is
made up almost entirely of college mems jokes. The
college man is just old enough to be somewhat worldly
WISE and young enough to be irresponsible, and active
minded enough to than side, and healthy
enough to be repressbly gay and there is reason
why humor should not abide with him. why his papers
should not be the champion testers Of the country
certain phase of humor the unexpected comparison
or contrast, catches the human rsibes and makes
the average man shake with laughter matter how
well controlled he keeps his emotions. The Chicago
cartoonlst who put president Wilson in Rough Rider
suit with cartridge belt pistols in pocket, soft hat
and all, has done just that trick. No knows how
foreign to Wilson the regaa of Rough Riding is, until
he sees the president dressed up in Teddys clothes In
the cartoon the capitol looms in the background and
Roosevelt off to side in fabbergasted attitude is
watching the president steal his thunder. Wilson is
tagged all over with preparedness and defence legends
