The boys are all well cared for. ard
are as eontented as 1900 me- away from
home could reasonably be expected to
be. While all would like to be home
for Christmas, they realize that the war
department is using its best judgment
in the matter, and are taking it a. it
comes. The boys deplore the agitation
in some quarters for their immediate
return, as they are inclined to feel that
.it reflects in some degree on their patri.
otism. While they didn't frateruize a
great deal with the regiments formerly
qHartered by them the hoys are greatly
pleased with the three Alabama regf-
ments which took their place, and the
exchange Of courtesies between the Ida
no and Alabama boys is one Of the most
pleasant features Of army lite at the
border.
Lieutenant Webb will return to his
regiment inside of a couple Of weeks,
and it's our impression that he'll get
back Just about in time 70 bring his
company back to- idaho.
And look at it as you may at present. +

call and served on the border.

WE RE TOO BUSY
TOFIGHT-LANE
Secretary of Interior Says
Americans Want to Work,
Not To Make War.

Providence. r. l., June 21--The
American spirit is against war. not
because Americans are afraid to fight.
but because they are too busy with
other enterprises more important than
war. Franklin X. Lane. secretary Of the
interior. said today The degree OF
doctor Of laws was conferred on the
secretary.
Charles +. Hughes, republican nomi-
nee for president. was another honor
guest OF the university.
"The spirit OF America is against
war not because we have grown COW
ardly and fear deatn,- Mr. Lane SAID,
nor because we have grown flaDby and
love softness. nor even because we
have become conscious converts TO the
prince Of peace But We in America
have something larger 20 do We are
discovering our country We have no
time for war. We are doing something
so much more important We are all
at work. That is the greatest OF all
adventures When war comes TO a
democracy il comes because we are not
allowed peacefully to work
What would we fight fOrT For
what Roger Williams fought for-to
be let alone, to have the opportunity to

MAY ILLUMINATE

Rotary Club Is Planning
Lighting Campaign for
Downtown Streets.

Since the announcement of the Fl
: Faso Electric Railway company that
the downtown light and power wires
you'd be put underground and that
ether streets besides san Francisco
street would be illuminated. Robert
Krakauer has called a meeting of the
Z better lighting committee of the Ro-
tary club to make plans for having a
EUmber OF downtown streets illumin-
ted with electric arcs
This committee which was appointed
by former president A. z. Rowlands,
includes Mr.. Krakauer, Claiborne
ADAMS. s C.. Aubrey. I. B Fletcher.
r B. Orndorff, DR.. r. L. Ramey and
- NJ Wyatt Wednesday morning
CHAIRMAN krakauer announced that the
committee would have a meeting be
fore the end OF the week TO discuss
plans for having q number II not all
Of the downtown streets Illuminated
fefore the electric wires are buried
underground.
To Light San Antonio.
san Antonio street is one OF the
streets for which the better lighting
Is being considered. A Schwartz, OF
the Popular DrygOods company, is in
terested in the San Antonio street
Lighting, which is planned to extend
from the Paso del NOrte hotel at San
Artonio and FL Paso streets to Stan
t1-A VI IAN Al1E4A8 bg-g DAAA AAt1 AlE -

Other streets that are being con-
sidered for the new lighting are; Ore
sen street, from Overland to Boule-
ward, Mesa avenue from Overland TO
Boulevard Stanton street from Over
land TO Boulevard; Mills street from
Pioneer plaza to Stanton street; Texas
street from Oregon to Stanton. The
lighting system which is being consid-
cred for these streets is not as e1abOr-
ate as that now in use on san Fran
cisco street. the show street to the
union station, but II is planned TO have
as many Of these streets as can be
signed up Illuminated with arc lights
a. frequent intervals.
To Light Montana
One Of Mr.. krakauer's ideas is to
Fave one of the north and south streets
Illuminated north as far as Montana
street and then TO have Montana street
uluuinated out for as far as possible
by the property owners on the street
Air. Krakauer SAYS he has no particu-
lar street in mind for this lighting
scheme but thinks Oregon. Mesa av-
euue or Stanton streets would be suita-
lie for the illumination to Montana
This is the time for the better street
lighting OF Ell PasO to be taken up"
said Mr.. Krakauer Wednesday morn
ing The Electric company is doing
its part toward beautifying the city
ard 7 believe E1 Paso is big enough TO
afford better lighting on the down

PENS PICTURE
Of JUAREZ POOR
Editor Edwards Writes OF
Want and Woe Evident
in Border City.

{ Henry Edwards. president of the

while he was attending the convention
and that he was touched by the want
and suffering there is shown by the
following pen picture. which he wrote
for his paper. the Troup Banner
Never while we live can we forget
the upheld hands Of little children
whose faces were thin and wan and
pinched with hunger and whose TOices
were as weak as the fever patient
which some Of US may have seen These
little bonv hands were upheld TO the
visitors and pitiful beyond compare
were the little trembling voices as they
begged for .un centavO' or 'un mchei

we have seen widows with chiidren
at the gravesi6e Of a husband and faith

him who made the living and helped
and supported the family These wild
ows Looked sad; but none OF them could
excite more pity than many Of the
women whom we saw in Juarez-these
thin, ragged women, feeble OF voice,
with hopeless eye and voice tndicat-
ing that hope itself had departed from
their lives
Want and Woe Everywhere
Misery and wsnt and woe have
universal language and II IS not neces-
sary that one understand the words
of the language spoken to grasp the
hearts feelings that well up. We saw
little girls not more than eight to 10
years old carrying around smaller chill
dren in their arms or upon their hips,
trying 10 care for them and both the
care takers and the infants were lean
and dirty and ragged. Even now We
can see the tiny. bony little legs and
hands Of those babies in the care and
keeping OF other children themselves
only babies-and those little bony legs
and hands and sunken eyes stand out
IN our memories as wildly as would
