OF course, there are other needs for
Fl Paso besides Burt's hobby. Now,
Bob Krakauer. for instance. who has a

is more daylight. and Bob actually be-
lieves that we would get more of II

enjoy them. I would set the clocks

II Adrian Poole has had his ear TO

there Is no reason why Ell Paso should
not back him to the limit. It would be
bad guess MOTTO have a governor
from Ell Paso.
There is some misunderstanding
among FL Pasoaus about that west

to think il is planned for FL Paso. This
IS not the case. It will not come to FL

LOSING TRADE

VALDEZ has spent something in the neighborhood of $5,600,70O,234 in charity and outside projects since the town was constructed from the primitive fastnesses of an Alaskan glade. That is she has spent that much if the past two years expenditures are an index of her prodigality. Most, if not all of this money has gone out side, where the white lights burn un- til the we sma' hours, and the wine comes out packed in ice in buckets. And she has always had her ear to the ground to help in worthy, and oft times, unworthy charity. But to- day the man coming into the city from down the Sound must be an acrobat of no mean skill if he suc- ceeds in landing from his small boat and can count that day a fortunate one in which he does not lose strake or a carlin or some other appurten- ance essential to a boats anatomy by contact with the unyielding surface of a piling or wharf. Many thous- ands of dollars are going to Cordova and other towns on account of the poor landing facilities and exposed roadstead. Every day or so the Pros pector receives a stimulus in shape of a prodigious kick because the town does not provide shelter for small craft. And it is all so unnecessary. While our love for the starving Bel gians reaches the nth degree, we be- lieve the money spent for these lit tie brothers could have been of great CT benefit to the city, and while we might not have received one tenth of the blessings bestowed upon us by the heathens, who use our charity for jewelry and photographs,

iliar with and acknowledged his de- ficiences in other matters. If you don't know a thing why not say so. Your petty little fraud in attempt ingto convince others you do know is so transparent as to be positively painful. Whatever your avocation or pursuit in this sinful life, try for a year admitting you do not know and see how much more you are respected when you do know. The greatest trouble today is that a mans mouth is sort of brain detector as we'll as a general destroyer of health and nor ality. One can look wise, and get away with it for a time, but the in evitable day comes when he opens his yawning chasm of false pretenses, and then his hearers opinions drop with dull thud. How many men do you know today who, with the seat of buttonhole you and tell you how J. P. Morgan or the President should run things. How many brilliant f. nancial scheme are unfolded to you daily by village Rothschilds who could not raise enuf money to buy dog feed for a skye terrier. Brains are like a persons aura, they are intangible, yet felt; but God Almighty never in- tended the only evidence of their ex- istence should be viva voce.
