A Good Citizen.

Our understanding of good citi-
zen is man who is ever ready and
willing to assume his share of the
work for the common good Of the
community in which he resides. He
is willing at all times to dig into his
pockets and pay what he can afford
to pay for public improvements.
This he will do without a kick. He
is always boosting his home town,
and presenting its most favorable
side to the outside world He is a
"gcod fellow" not only down town
on the streets, but to his family
within his home. He pays his taxes
without making such a roar about it
that people think paying, taxes is
original with him. He. takes pride
in keeping his premises neat and
tidy. He is tolerant in his religious
views and is free from bigotry He
believes in living and letting the
other fellow live. He is free from
avarice and jealousy and is glad to
see his fellow man get ahead in the
world. He has kind word for
young and old. He is, a man among
men, and plays a mans part in the
little things Of everyday life. This
is our idea Of a good citizen.

Those Good Old Times.

Don't let history lead you astray.
The chronicles Of past ages We're set
down by contemp orary scribes, who
exaggerated the grandeur and opu-
lence of their days.
The renaissance, with all its as
sumptions and pomp, was in many
ways a very sorry spectacle.
Squalor, filth and discomfort de-
meaned the nightiest castle. Rats,
vermin, sWarnls of flies, mosquitoes
and worse dourished in the fetid
rooms and carried unspeakable in
fections.
Puddles Of sewage lay before arts
tocratic doorways. Sidewalks were
ankle deep with slime and garbage.
streets were unlighted and perilous,
except to armed companies.
Leonardo da Vinci could neither
cool nor heat his home. There
wasn't a chimneyed lamp. in the
house nor a spigot, nor a toilet nor
a stove.
When he made a journey, he rode
for days on horseback or jolted over
the ruts in a sumptuous but spring
less coach. @
Even the cultured classes were in
describably vulgar in their habits.
A farm hand would resent the table
manners Of medieval exquisites.
The rapturously beautiful women
eternalized by tradition, generally
disclosed rows Of decayed and snag-
gled teeth when they smiled upon
their admirers and fshed for choice
gobbets with unmanicured fingers,
among golden dishes in which mobiles
served their food.
Dentistry had not been invented.
Surgery boasted few resources be-
yond blood-letting and leeching.
Doctors were arrant quacks, unable
to cope with the fevers and epidem-
les which constantly devastated pop
ulation.
Property was at the mercy Of
greedy lords and exposed to thieving
hands against whom honest citizens
could evoke no redress.
Assassination was an organized
trade. Professional braves frankly
advertised their services and at a
price impersonally stabbed or pois-
oned any individual whose enemy
engaged their offices.
How would you like to trade your
lot for theirs
Are you still dissatisfied with
your circumstances? Do you dare

Roumania plunged into the war
last Sunday, being the fourteenth
nation engaged in that awful
carnage. AS Roumania can place
100000 soldiers in the field, it would
seem that the preponderance Of
fighting strength would now be so
overwhelmingly on the side of the
allies, that the Central powers would
be crushed. Yet, this war is not to
be won by mere numbers Of men,
but by brains and machinery of
warfare, and Roumania will contrib
ute little to this factor. Then Cen
trail powers have all the men they
need and can use to advantage in
the great struggle.

BET GERMAN SUB
 WILL ARRIVE IN
 NEW YORK SOON

NEW YORK. June 22.-A bet of $500 at even money was made to- day that German submarine mcr- chant liner would register her ar rival with the customs authorities of this port before July 8. The wag- CT was made between officials of two well.known< steamship companies.
 The man who bet the supersub- marine would arrive was not only confident she would make the voy- age without any trouble but would enter this port without submerglng. He ridiculed the British naval at- tache's statement that the undersea liner could be trailed by her oily waste and that the British could smell the exhaust from her en- zines.
 Why didn't they pick up the wake of the submarine that sailed from Kiel Go the Dardanelles?" he asked "Or how was it that they didn't smell the U-19 when she landed Sir Roger Easement on the Irish coast,
 "The British blockade of this port might be trebled in effective ness and there would still be only one chance in a hundred that the submarine would be caught in mak- ing the Hook if she choose 10 come in at night"
 A person in close touch with the German embassy stated today that the first U-boat liner would arrive here from Cuxhaven June 26 and would sail for home on July g. Her cargo will consist of mail, parcels post. express matter and drugs val ued at more than Sl.OOO.000

MEXICAN PAPERS SAY UNCLE SAM HAS BEEN SLAPPED
 IN THE FACE.

EL PASO, Texas. June 13.-(Spe cial) Newspapers brought to El ' Paso today from several cities i'm the interior of Mexico showed an increas ling animosity for Americans. Edi. torlals in most of them referred to Carrcnzas recent note as slap lin the face Of Uncle Sam" while stories of volunteer corps organizing for duty in case of international | trouble were frequent
 The principal article in leading newspaper of Saltillo. a semi-ofiicial organ. pointed out that while the Colussus of the North has an ad. vantage in numbers and supplies, the history of the Spanish peninsu- lar campaign shows that poorly equipped troops were able to break down the great army of Napoleon, and guerilla tactics now should be able. in the event of intervention, to wear out the forces of the Unit ed States
 Military in Control
 Reports to local mining compan- ies from their representatives in Chihuahua and Parral indicated that the antagonism against the United States continues. and that minor demonstrations are frequent. but that the military had the people sufficiently under control to prevent violence Apprehension here for the safety of Americans in these cities abated on the receipt of these dis patches. although the number of ru- rmors. all apparently without foun- dation. that several Americans had been killed in Chihuahua City were current here.
 carranzistas Suspected
 That some Carranza officials are behind the sudden outbreak of anti American feeling in the republic was the assertion of a widely informed Mexican upon his arrival from the interior.
 He said they are supporting agita- tors for the double purpose of creat- ing support and sympathy with the Carranza government in it's financial and industrial troubles and embar- raising the American administration. In this way. he explained, these oi-
  of the American troops. which would be diplomatic victory for the de facto government But he added, while these officials have paid the agltators they have kept the mobs well in hand to disprove any possi. ble charges of anarchy against the republic
 Bandit Leaders Caught
 Reports to the Mexican consulate here tell of the capture of Tem. osachic, Chihuahua. of Colonel Valen' tine Vasquez and Lieutenant Aleian. dro Arranda, Villa officers. The capture of the bandits, together with that of Cruz Dominguez, recently re ported from Chihuahua City. was described as the most important cap ture since the capture of Pablo To- peg, it being pointed out that they have been the sole remaining out law leaders of importance in South ern Chihuahua.
