charge of the matter and the hope Is
that the great machine will go slowly
in its investigation, sitting the causes
from bottom to top and remembering
that all that the people of the country
ask is that the same justice be done
colored troopers in New Mexico as
will be done the mounted police
officers in Texas.
Punishment Of tho one, should be
followed or accompanied by the pun
ishment OF the other. The failure
to punish the one should be followed
by failure to punish the other Col
ored folks have been made proverbial
scapc-goats. We hope that in this
instance, the according of equal and
exact justice to all parties concerned
will be the final chapter written In
this most dcplorable happening,
which has brought regret and sorrow
to all parts of this country.

We have read very carefully the
reply Of President Woodrow Wilson
to Pope Benedict's peace message
1t seems to us that If this reply as
framed forms the basis of peace ne
gotiations. an armistice of the con-
tonding armies is not far Off. When
this government decides to stop
furnishing money and supplies to the
allies, then the war will cease. The
cost to us is now being estimated as
being one million dollars per hour.
No married man could stand that ex-
ponse and certainly no single nation.
Still the condition Of the Central
Powers may be much worse and they
will hardly be able to hold out to q
point of exhausting the resources of
