Dear Miss Grey: In answer to

The truly virtuous girls OF today

stuck up" II is much easier to

orally makes the best companion
one can talk to-she understands,
for she has broader knowledge
OF life.
Ny mother once said, Beware OF
the baby stare" and have found
IL TO be dangerous. The owner is
innocent and In her endeavor to
maintain II, she Is hopelessly mar

that broad understanding OF life
that so many men Of today swmire
In a woman.
I have known OF women whom
the world brands as 1.-The worst"
making fine wives because they
have climbed up from the bottom.
They know all there is to know.
They have learned thru bitter ex-
perience that "loose life" doesn't
pay. When these women marry.
they settle down for life. They can
appreciate the full value OF a home.
None OF society's fashion-plate
tempters could arouse their curios.

awaits them out on the broad high

The vlrtuous girl is for the mil.

and guard her innocence.
When the virtuous girl thinks Of
something besides her virtue, and
becomes less snobblsh, she will be
In greater demand. v. S. N.

suit of the continuous work of

muddy crossings and consequent
ly muddy shoes, trousers and

long enough, were quite the
fashion.
The common council could do
some good work on this street
by providing real gravel for the
roadway, and laid on heavy
enough to prevent the adobe
from coming to the surface dur
ing rainy weather.
1t would also be a splendid idea
for the common council to in
struct the street supervisor to
have the adobe thrown up on the
embankment of the ditch on the
east side of Center street, from
Main to Second South streets,
removed and the ditch banks
graded with the roadway.
This adobe, resulting from
cleaning out the ditch and piled
up on the embankment, gradu-
ally finds it's way to the roadway
proper and tends to put the road
way in bad condition during
rainy weather, and besides it is
certainly unsightly and a nui-
sance.
The heavy traffic on Center
street needs the best kind of
roadway and if good gravel can
not be secured, it would be a
good idea for the common coun-
Gil to get busy on some plan of
making a new roadway and use
oil, so that a permanent roadway
can be maintained.

ADMIRAL DEWEY

| Admiral Dewey was about the
only Spanish war hero not to out
live his fame. He will probably
be the outstanding figure of that
minor, but politically important
war. Certainly he will have no
rival in the schoolboy's history
of that war. Yet even Dewey
went through attacks aiming to
belittle his victory. Further
more, that he should dare to
marry and with a true sailors
gallantry present to his wife a
house that was bought for him
by public subscription, nightly
offended the pinheads who
claimed that they had given their
dimes to Dewey and not to his
bride However, that cheap
scandal was forgotten, and now
Dewey passes away universally
honored, serving his country in
an advisory capacity to the last.
No event in our national life
since the Civil War has struck
the imagination of the American
people like the victory Of Manila
Bay. 1t came with startling sud-
denness, and made Manila famous
as it did Dewey, for comparative
ly few people in this country had
before then any idea where and
what were the Philippines.
Admiral Dewey represented
the best traditions of American
seamanship and gallantry. He
was not trained in the present
day grape juice regime. Ameri-
can ships were in his time de-
signed to train fighters and not
to teach trades to civilians.
When he received his laconic
orders in 1898, he did his job up
to the hilt without moments
hesitation. 1t was this thing of
acting on the spot and his per-
sonal modesty that captured
public imagination.
The other Spanish war heroes
have seen their fame dim before
their eyes; but not so George
Dewey. Sampson went to his
grave as a man soured because
he accidentally missed getting in
to the battle of Santiago. Schley's
curious maneuver in that battle,
which was interpreted by his
critics as an attempt to escape
the zone of fire, reacted serious
ly on his reputation. Hobson,
whose daring fired the public
mind, developed from a kissing
post into a professional jingoist.
In the army, Shafter, selected by
the administration of that day to
avoid making Gene"al Nelson
Miles a Democrat, president,
proved a fizzle as commander-in-
chief in Cuba. Otis had his OPP
portunity in the Philippines, but
became a narrow minded admin
istrator. Military regulations in
the Philippine campaign prove an
exception, but they do not pro-
perly belong to the Spanish War,
which had beenovermany months
before Funston, Pershing, the
two Bells and some others, living
and dead, began to make them
selves heard.
The battle of Manila Bay, as
an action, has has been belittled
by critics. 1t has been said that
the Spanish ships were inferior
and manned by inefficients. But
that does not reflect on the man
who ran through a harbor he
might we'll believe to be mined,
to tackle a fleet of unknown
fighting capacity, backed with
land batteries of heavy calibre
knowing also that his munition
supplies were so limited that he
could not withstand long ac-
ton. But it was his job to take
a chance. With what success he
did his job, is one of the dramatic
bits of world history-El Paso

JANUARY 26, 1917
BONEHEAD ADVICE

lay IN the State supreme Court
in handing down a decision in
the Campbell mandamus pro-
ceedings, and but very few. prob
ably, 60 into the matter in all its
details to satisfy their own minds
as to what a just decision would
be in the case.
To our mind it would not be
surprising if the State Supreme
Court decided that Thomas E..
Campbell was still a member of
the State Tax Commission and
that George ". p. Hunt was still
gcv ernor, and there are good
reasons for believing that such a
decision could be rendered by the
Supreme Bench of the State.
To go into the details we find
that Mr.. Campbell has failed to
comply with the law governing
his position as State tax commits
siOner, as he has not resigned
from that office and it is too late
for him to do so now and be gov
ernOr.
In other words, his election as
governor would not automatically
discharge him from his duties as
State tax commissioner, he must,
to be governor, resign his office
as State tax commissioner, pre-
vious to the first day of January,
the day on which regularly
elected governor takes the oath
of Office.
To realize this situation, one
needs only to read the statutes
prescribing the duties of a State
officer.
According to the statutes a
State officer cannot hold any
other position of trust or profit,
or engage in any other business
interfering with or inconsistent
with his duties. The statutes
also provide that a State officer
must present his resignation in
writing and the resignation must
be made to the governor.
Further on the statutes pro-
vide that a State office shall be
deemed vacant from and after
the happening of either of the
following events before the ex-
piration of his term of office:
l. Death of incumbent.
2. Insanity.
3. His resignation.
A. His removal from office.
5. His ceasing to be an in
habitant of the State.
6. His absence without per-
mission for more than three con-
secutive months.
7. His ceasing to discharge
his duties for the period of more
than three months.
8. Conviction of a felony.
9. The failure to file oath or
bond within the time prescribed
by law.
10. The decision of COM
petent tribunal to declare his Of
flee vacant.
1t can easily be understood that
according to the statutes, Mr..
Campbell is still a member of the
State Tax Commission, as he is
not dead; he has not been de-
clared insane; he has not resigned
his Office as tax commissioner; he
has not been removed from Of
flee; he still lives in the State.
In fact Mr.. Campbell has not re.
signed his position as member
of the State Tax Commission and
he may be holding on to the of,
flee for the reason that he knows
he has not been elected governor
and for the further reason that
having failed to give Governor
Hunt his resignation in writing,
as prescribed by the statutes,
before the first day of January,
he cannot now present his resig
nation as the time has passed fol
its acceptance in accordance with
the law.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Campbell
has had some bad advice from
