We do not think the new con

pursuing their own happi-
ness. To secure these rights
governments are instituted
among men, deriving their
lust powers from the con-
sent Of the governed"
"All political power is inherent
in the people" Now this was the
intention of the founders of the
government; however, in Hemp
stead county, which is in Arkan-
sas, some election commissioners
have been known to say, dam
the people," or something to that
effect, and take charge themsel-
YES, which we hold is contrary to
Sec. | Article 2, of the constitu-
ton of 1874. In this same arti.
Gle and section, it is said that the
people may alter the form of gov
ernment if they see fit. We do
not think the form of government
needs altering; however, we have
no objection to the people opera
ting on the election commission
ers if they see fit. But we will
leave that with the people and
pass on.
The remaining two sections OF
the Declarations of Rights cannot
be improved by change; we are
unable to see where we could
take anything out or put any,
thing in and improve them: hence
it is, so far as we are concerned,
they shall stand "et literatum ct
punctuatum, as Drab would say,
and we think he would say the
same with regard to the constitu-
tion.

The Columbus Raid
By Rev. w. w. Nelson.)

There has been a great deal
written in the past eleven months
about the band of Mexicans who
on March Q, 1916, crossed into
our territory and murdered our
deienseless men, women and
children at Columbus, New Mex.
AT that time Columbus was a
small village situated on a dry
barren plain three miles from
the international line.
Feeling as l did regarding this
tragedy of more than nation wide
importance, a few days ago |
went to Columbus and talked to
a great many people who were
there the fatal night of the raid,
both civilians and some of the
soldiers who took part in the
fight
The raiders had either been on
the ground and gone over the To-
cation of the town and of our sol
diers and where the ammunition
was kept, or they had been fully
advised by some MeXicans who
lived in the town. But it is more
than likely that the raiders had
been in the town themselves, as
they very cunnipgly took every
position which would give them
the advantage of our people and
of the small band of our soldiers
stationed on the outskirts of the
town.
On entering the town they took
possession of a coal chute which
is about sixty feet high and
placed two machine guns there,
one on the soldiers camp and the
other on the town. A few men
were placed in the residential
part of town and nearly every cit
izen losing their lives we're shot
down by these men when they
were awakened by the shooting
and lighted a lamp, allowing the
MeXicans to see them through
the windows, and in this way they
were shot down.
The Mexicans entered the town
about 2:30 a. IN. The general
opinion now is that there were
about 500 Mexicans in the raid.
They were well armed and fine
tshots. Your readers are aware
that one of the high officers since
the raid has been tried for Grim
inal negligence and for being
drunk on the night of the raid,
Notwithstanding the fact he knew
the raid would be made. When
the raid began the soldiers were
on one side of the town and the
ammunition was on the opposite
side, and before all the soldiers
could be armed they had to figh
their way right through the Mex
ican troops to get to their ammu.
milton. Had it not been for one
brave seminal on duty at the sol.
dier's camp, who was ordered by
raider to throw up his hands
and follow the raider away. but
who replied to the command by
