nothing in common.' but they are meet ing and they are deciding the big ques- tions of the day.
 Real Democracy
 And when the world is strengthened out again this interchange of ideas that is going on on the questions of the war will have been carried on to the industrial field and it will be then that real democracy will bless our land. It will be then that men will be free to express their thoughts and to mingle freely with those whom they 1 might well call men and women My friends, we have given our sol dr IS and sailors a tremendous task. They are required to be very much men and all men, and if we are to ex- pect them to win we must not withhold from them one mouthful of food, one | bit of clothing or one bullet or any thing else that means anything short of giving them fair chance to win.
 And on us here rests that respon- sibility. We cannot take this thing | too serious. and if we fail in our duty to those boys and they lose. why. I don't believe that they will feel that it was because of any fault of theirs that they lost; but there is one thing sure and unmistakable if they do lose through our neglect they will come back to America and bow their heads in deep sense of shame to think that their own people had betrayed them.
 Must Join Hands
 And so, my friends, I say to YOU that our individual notions no longer count. We must join hands with the big international issue and not stop short of anything until we have given our all. We should go into this thing with deep sense of bride to think that this great pentacostal cleansing came about in our time and that We were helpful in the cleansing. We can either go ahead as we have heon going ahead all these years or else we can drop down the social scale to brute force and beastliness. Our actions will determine which way we go. If we are to go ahead and make progress W. must put every ounce of energy into the proposition. Our mines mills ant factories must be so arranged tha, that will be made possible.
 And now, my friends. let us iniec- renewed hope and confidence into in, struggle and keep going on and on un. til the last vestige of autocracv i, driven from the confines of mankind And let us here at home pave the wa, for that new democracy that we ar. lighting for and let us receive if or : the ground floor so we can look i over and know it for what it is.

-children their play day and that will make those who toll think that indeed this is country worth fighting for.
 The rulers of Russia have paid the penalty for their attitude toward the working masses of that country. They denied them organization; they denied them schools; they treated them worse than beasts, and they paid bitter pen alty for the injustices and abuse they heaped on those God fearing peasants. Out of it came the Bolsheviki, and the rest is history. They were sold out body and soul to the kaiser who, by the way, is the king of all beastliness.
 Paid the Penalty
 Tn Mexico, close to home, the work CTS were denied organization. They were paid a>wage that would scarcely enable them to contribute a few pen nies month to the church that they might get some surcease from their labors through spiritual relief. And Mexico has paid bitter penalty, and that country has not paid the penalty in full as yet. The peons of that stricken country are now watching and waiting and thinking, and they | have come to look on us as friends. and some day the worm will turn and it will be a sorry day for those who have carried on that ruthless exploi- tation all these years.
 We are so constituted that we can go forward, step by step, or we can take one plunge into the past and in | a single generation lose all of those manly and womanly traits we now possess. For instance, here is high i intelligent and refined man. He has a beautiful refined wife. They worship each other and feel that it is good to be alive. Along comes a ruffian and insults or embraces this mans wife Immediately the husband steps down the ladder of countless generations and becomes beast. He may be a puny man physically, but he sees red and makes for the intruder. He does not reason. He acts merely by instinct

 Villa is five feet ten inches in height and weighs lb5 pounds. His legs are slightly bowed from much riding and his arms are short and his hands plump. He rides well, and shoots straight A characteristic pose when he is in deep thought is for him to stand with his feet far apart, his mouth open and his hat thrust back on his head. He speaks rapidly but raises his voice only to give command or shout Spanish oath at someone who has aroused his anger.

MUST USE LAWFUL MEANS.

Disloyalty and sedition cannot be wiped out by lawless acts under the < guise of patriotic zeal
 However patriotic may be the mo- Hives which prompt such outbursts, Aheir effects are seen in avidity with (which German propagandists seize upon them in an effort to make the world believe that Germany's enemies are also guilty of atrocities.
 One of the strongest statements is- sued by President Wilson during the war was in condemnation of the mob- spirit, and the tendency in some parts of the country, toward the lawless treatment of those suspected of dis loyalty.
 The full weight of public opinion must be set against such un-Ameri- can occurrences, and it must be inn pressed upon each community where < such disorders occur, that they em- < barass the government and weaken fhe fighting power of the country. Sedition must be stamped out, but 1t must be done by lawful means only, and never resort to unlawful me- thods.
 The chairmen of the County Coun- cils of Denfense in Arkansas are ad- vised that if there should be part of the county in which there is a tendency to resist the draft, it is a duty to put on a campaign of pa triotic education in that community, and by personal touch and law cor rect the condition.

At times Villa has worn the dress of the Mexican horse might leather trousers, boIero jacket and high felt hat. Again he has appeared in hip boots, bandoleers of cartridges strapped across his chest and with wide brimmed hat on his head.
 Villas everyday dress consists of cheap gray suit of the hand-me- down variety, a soft flannel shirt and "a fawn colored hat. Neither is there anything in Villas face which would indicate the bandit unless it would be his small eyes which appear smaller because of the hundreds of little sun wrinkles which quicker around them. His mputh is partially hidden by a curly black mustache which hides his blackened and badly stained teeth except when he grins, which he does
