PaRSERS SHAVING WAS VILLA ORDER
 SAYS CONFESSOR
Detached Villistas Ordered to Kill Every American They Could, Says Wife of Dead Murderer
(sy Review Leased Wire.)

\
 DOUGLAS, July 20.-Jose Valenzuela, a Mexican admitted by his wife to be the slayer of MT. and Mrs William Parker at the Double Adobe Ranch, 55 miles southeast of Hachita, N. M, early in June, did not escape from the American civilian posse which trailed him into Mexico, but was killed in the wilds of Cajon Bonito, mo mans" land between Sonora and Chi huahua. This statement reached here today from Hachita, from an apparent ly authoritative confidential source.
 The posse returned with the state ment that Valenzueta has escaped when they captured his wife and her uncle, who had been his travelling companions. The story of the finish of the chase generally believed in Hachita is that several members of the posse held the woman, while the rest pursued her husband, bringing him to bay several miles further in the canyon, and killing him.
 From the same source it is learned that Valenbueta's wife had confessed to members of the posse that her hus- band had seen a soldier with Villa and had been instructed by his chief not to rejoin his band until he had killed Parker, his wife and any other Americans he could. That was the underlying motive of the double mur- der, she is said to have stated She is said to have alleged further that other men had been similarly in- structed by Villa.
 ! Every woman has been sent out of the Animas Valley while the men are reported to be watching closely all Mexicans on the American side of the border in that district.

In the ordinary peaceful life of which most of us have experience, obedience to law involves little. The responsi- bilities of citizenship involve much more. They involve obedience not only to secular law as the voice of the state but to moral law as the voice of God, to all the decencies of life, to all the rules of neighborly conduct. Not many of these are expressed in law. They ind expression only in personal judg- ment, based on sane thinking and de- cent and upright living.
 The making of law is only the be- ginning of good government. A man may obey the law in the books, and be reprehensible citizen. A state may have the finest constitution and the finest body of law extant in the world and go to wreck and ruin with it.
 If the enactment of lay automatic ally resulted in political salvation the millenium would be at hand. All we would need to do would be to re-enact the Ten Commandments. If he en- actment of law made the public good, there would not be a drunkard in the state of Maine tonight. Legislation is merely a gesture toward good gov ernment. The salvation of a nation depends not on the law. It depends upon what is in your head and my head, and the kind of conduct that our thought inspires.

ration of Independence. without fnd- ing that is so. It becomes as true as the sunlight when you analyze our form of government. There is a sove reignty called the United States of America; there is a sovereignty called the state of Connecticut. Each sove- reignty in its due and proper sphere is composed of units, such as your selves and myself, and it's integrity as sovereignty depends upon the in- . tegrity of those units. state is political organism. If the cells mak- ing the organism are poisoned, if they rebel in their functioning, the organ ism dies, or it's life becomes so abnor- nal as to make death preferable.
 What does all this means? It means nothing beyond the old truism that in a democracy the salvation of the state without question depends upon the in telligent appreciation and fulfillment by the individual citizen of his re- Gponsibilfty. The whole is equal to the sum of it's parts. No democracy is worth more than the sum total of the service value of it's constituent citizens.
 & What is Decent Citizen?
 What are the duties and responsibil- tties of a decent citizen? Is a decent citizen dutiful merely because he re- trains from committing murder, arson, burglary? It is only the sub-nornal or abnormal or wicked citizen who commits felony and if discovered he sacrifices the rights of citizenship. The duties of citizenship are not nega- tive. They are positive and they en- Velope the citizen every hour of the day and every day Of the year. They are performed sometimes unconscious ly or sometimes sub consciously, or sometimes with a purposed intent, as the circumstances of life shift and vary.
 The least the state expects of the citizen is that he shall be law-abiding. him and demands of him is that that his contribution to the life of the community shall be of such a charac- ter as not to diminish. destroy or dis
