Editor ii Paso Herald;
I have read the speech OF Theodore
Roosevelt, all that senator Fan had to
say, and the dispatches sent to Wash
ington by our honorable mayor, Tom
Lea. They hit the nail on the head.
Every thinking American under the
Stars and Stripes knows that president
Wilson's administration has been
checkered with mistakes. ! wish it
were I'm my power. / would impeach
him, and put a man at the head Of this
government with brain and backbone.
/ know 1 committed sin when ! voted
for him, I pray God TO forgive me for
II, but all OF us make mistakes in this
life: the writer has made many mis-
takes. and every mistake added TO my
experience.
Our brave soldier boys In Mexico on
the hunt for villa viii return home the
most disguised set Of men that ever
went on an expedition for Uncle Sam
All they can tell you is they saw Villas
tracks; 10 out Of 20 OF the MeXicans
living west Of the city Of Chihuahua,
are Villas friends

SILVERREACHES
NEW HIGH LEVEL
Is Quoted Tuesday at 81 80
the Highest Price
Since 1913.

Silver which has been mounting for
some time. reached a new high level
for the present movement Tuesday.
when it was quoted at 81 "a cents. per
ounce, the highest price since 1913.
The principal reason advanced for the
upward tendency of the market is the
fact that Europe has been stripped OF
gold and there is now a big demand
for silver for coinage purposes. China
has always been and is still a large
buyer of silver and just recently India
again came into the market These
conditions. coupled with the fact that
Mexico temporarily is out of the way as
producer, are attributed as causes
for the rise.
Smelling Interests Hold Much.
Il is also claimed in some quarters
that the silver of the country is pretty
largely in the hands of the smelling IN
terests; that the smelling people bought
heavily at a time when the low level
of prices was reached around 40 and
"A cents, and that there is considerable
manipulation in the New York market
al the present time.
Lowest in 1914
Silver reached the low level around
40 cents in August and September,
1914. At that time the government
stepped in and bought large quantities
at so cents to stimulate the market

Politics Sidetracked

With the national conventions only two months off
it is amazing that so little interest is taken in the pre-
minares by the country large. The press scarcely
mentions national politics. There is no earnest
even intelligent discussion of measures programs, and
men. Such suggestions are put forward are shot
wildly into space The rank and file OF the nation
seem to be thinking of anything but national politics
In other presidential years, long period preceding
the national conventions has been devoted largely
10 hot political discussion Suggested candidates have
been weighed and doomed and damned, policies and
platforms have been thrashed out in advance party
managers local. state and national have issued count
less manifestOs and shouted for party harmony and
bloody combat the great figures in history have been
dragged out for use as authorities for every ism in
the catalog, the eagle has been pinched to make him
scream patriotism has been COMPOUNDED with the itch
for office and there has been a general circus Of
time
This year, what's the matter? Even in the old hot
beds of political Vaccination and intrigue, people seem
half hearted The papers do not indicate that national
and state politics is important to the average reader
The movies, markets. fashions, personal gossip, all
these interests about normal But politics IS dead
One thing is that the denomination Of president
Wilson is already settled That eliminates all contest
from the Democratic party But the situation in
the Republican and Progressive parties is as interesting
as anything the country If the two parties
Join forces the defeat of Wilson is possible II they
remain apart, Wilson will be reelected But even II
the opposition parties join, they cannot win the
election unless they nominate big man as the candi-
date of the reunited party. This is what ought to
make the present situation interesting but seemingly no
body cares much what happens in June or November.

not only enthusiasm, but that the club
here in El Paso cannot be anything but
a success. The dinner on Saturday

that almost all the men who are tax
