The case Of Juan Cruz, which ere
ated a sensation in the West and was
instrumental in rending the Indian
department asunder, was also the
cause of Johnson's resignation. He
could not have maintained his posi-
ton at the cost of letting the boy
hang; he preferred to stand by him
and unite the powerful influence of
New Mexico's politicians against him.
After the incorporation of the terri
tory into Oklahoma Johnson's activi-
ties lay largely among the Indians of
New Mexico and California. As chief
special officer, he had the charge of
protecting the Indian reservations
against the inroads of the bootleggers
and other vicious characters. If John
son had succeeded in obtaining the
answering devotion of his white asso-
ciates, he was still more blindly
trusted by his Indians. On every res
ervation today Johnson is remembered
with touching faith and child-like af-
lection. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that he has done more to put the red
man on his feet and make him self
respecting than anyone else who has
Iabored for the Indian in the United
States since the days of the first mis-
siOnaries More than that, Johnson so
established the Indians reputation
that his testimony became as valuable
before jury as that of white man.
One of his most jealous followers
was certain Bill Pablo, a man of I'M
bounded charity and courage, who
maintains a dozen Indian orphans on
his farm at his own expense and is
working with all his might to improve
the morals of his people. Yet, when
Johnson met him, he was an outlaw,
with four murders to his name. He
was a terror to the whites. Johnson's
interest In the man was aroused by
his notorious character.
Zone day." said Johnson, II purpose
ly met him where we could talk alone,
and there we had it out together.
Why is it that you are always
lighting the whites?' I asked.
Because they are all liars, thieves,
and whisky peddlers,' he retorted.
"'Are they all liars, thieves, and
whisky peddlers?' ventured.
so near there amt no difference
said Pablo
Am 1 liar and thief and whisky
peddler?' 1 questioned.
L believe you are on the square,
he answered, looking me straight in
the eye.
Then you and I are on the same
job told him. You come with me
and we will make sausage of these
white liars and thieves and whisky
peddlers. I'll give you two dollars a
day and expenses, and give you the
time of your life besides
"Bill damned his boot-heel into the
sand couple of times, and then grab
bed my hand. And that Indian went
out after the whisky peddlers with
the same zeal that he had displayed
In different directions. In the three
years that followed he had more to do
with the cleaning up of southern Cali
fornia than almost any other man.
'Bill's arrival in any hamlet within
a hundred miles Of his home was the
signal for the whisky peddlers to take
to the brush But taking to the brush
did not help them much, for every In
dian was Bills friend, and would put
him on the trail"

THINK u. S.
WAS ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
"a "a - -

BUENOS AIRES, June L. - The
Argentine view is that the United
States is going to war rather be-
cause she has a good excuse than be-
cause she has good reason. The Ar
gentines who do think the United
States had an adequate reason are
also of the opinion that this reason
was not the consideration that led
her into the war.
1t is generally their Judgment that
the United States wanted to fight.
They beliege the United States to be
a victim of the same sort of psychol-
ogical influences which, after the
commission of sensational crime or
a suicide, often causes the incident
to be Initiated by others.
They call attention to the fact that
North Americans are accepting uni
versal military service, food control
and other big changes in the interest
of the national service. The Argen-
tine idea is that North Americans
truly want to suffer hardships and
privations because other people are
doing SO.
That is why Argentine is rather
chilly toward the attitude of North
America,

STILL TRACES OF ROADS
USED BY ROMANS IN GAUL

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Caesars army marched the forty
five miles which lie between Rheims
and Soissms in one day, fact which
Mt any rate, proves the existence of
roads in that part of Gaul. Tin from
Cornwall took one month to reach
the Rhone, from the French side of
the Channel, the route being comp
Heated by the necessity for crossing
rivers and mountains. Some of the
roads of old Gaul were mere cart
tracks, which ran thru the intermin-
able forests, and these have left no
vestige Of their presence. But the
direction of some Of the roads which
the Romans built is known. Two of
them ran thru Paris, forming a cross
roads, one the modern Rues st. Jac-
ques and st. Martin, and the other
running in southeasterly direction,
the Rue st. Antoine and the famous
Rue de Rivoli,

DEATH CLAIMS KATE
McGILLIS-MURPHY

The following from the Alamosa
Empire tells of the passing Of for
mer well-known Durango girl, who
graduated from the local high school
IN the class of 1911: 1t was flashed
over the wire Tuesday to relatives in
Alamosa that Kate McGillis- Murphy
had died at Boulder. 1t was known
that Mrs. Murphy was in delicate
health, nervous and broken. She was
dying of grief for the loss Of her
husband, Joe Murphy, who passed
away in Alamosa, April 3, but a few
weeks ago Kate and Joe had played
together with little Joe like the chill
dren they were; their honey moon
was perpetual to the day Joe died.
Weakened by surgical operation, the
young wife and mother finding her
grief too great to bear, lingeringly,
sorowfully bade adieu, leaving little
Joe to the tenders cares of grandam,
Mrs. Celia McGillis. Death has hover
ed harshly with unerring stroke
about the McGillis family since they
came to Alamosa. First the husband
and father, Daniel j. McGills, died
of pneumonia early in 1911. Then the
son Jimmie died that fall Then Joe
Murphy but few weeks ago, and
now Catherine, the wife. To such a
grief we cannot say "be brave" Great
Grandma Roper, tottering with age,
went on the train Monday evening,
to try to comfort her daughter, Mrs.
Celia McGillis, and see chubby baby
Joe who does not well know-but the
world will be good to him.
