| democracy, as a stable form Of govern
ment as we know 1t, is possible only
with highly educated populations anC
a large force Of men who are capable
of government. Few of the men wht
| compose these governments have hat
any actual experience at governing
and their populations are woefully IL

'"They will require a generation OF

not turn back now.
"There is another point which also
needs emphasis. World treaties hith-
erto have always been based on the
theory of balance of power. Strong
er races have been set up to dominate
the weaker, partly with view to
maintaining stability and to a greater
degree with a view to maintaining oc-
equations and positions for the re-
actionaries Of the world.
"The balance Of power is born Of
armies and navies, aristocracies,
autocracies, and reactionaries general
ly, who can find employment and
domination in these institutions, and
treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for a shorter or longer time, but
never more than a generation.
"Amerlca came forward with a new
idea, and we insisted upon its injec-
tion into this peace conference. We
claimed that it was possible 70 set
up such a piece of machinery with
such authority that the balance of
power could be abandoned as a relic
of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction Of this treaty and
every word and line in it to bend to
this idea.
"Outsde of the League Of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies.
It represents compromises between

MEXICAN WITNESSES
AGAINST K|DNAPERS
WILL De RELEASED

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. Forty Mex
leans Of Santa Maria and San Bernebe,
held as witnesses in connection with
the abduction of William o. Jenkins,
will be released at once, "as there is
no proof against them of wrong doing
according to the Mexican City news
paper Excelsior.
The news paper, a copy of which
reached here today, prints Puebla
dispatch under date of last Friday Civ
ing this information. The contem-
plated action, the newspaper says,
caused Jenkins to say in an indignant
tone that he would have the guilty
persons punished if it took all his cap
ital, including those VINO had threat
ened the natives to make them testify
against him."
Jenkins, the newspaper account adds,
was notified at midnight Thursday
that he was free "by order of the
judge and was released without any
further explanation. Excelsior de-
clares it is rumored the judge will be
removed and succeeded by Judge Quiz
man of Cholula.
dispatch from Atlixco, Puebla,
published in Mexico City, reports the
surrender of many rebel officers to
General Pablo Gonzales, Carranza
army commander. Those who have
surrendered include Juan Ubera, one
of the men accused of having abducted
Jenkins. 1t is claimed the entire state
of Puebla is now pacified.

ROOSEVELT DAM
WILL co OVER
TOP NEXT YEAR
First Time in Three Years
Reservoir Will Have Been
Filled; Lacks Only 282,-
900 Acre Feet Of Capacity

Assuring the Salt River valley
farmers of ample water for the COM
ing season, the Rooseve4t dam is Civ
ing every indication Of going "over
the top" during the expected January
rains, according to official reports
from the Water Users association. AT
last reports, Saturday morning, the
dam contained 1,01S0O0 acre feet of
water, or $4,000 acre feet less than
its capacity.
The next official report will come
this morning, the Sunday reports hav-
ing been discontinued some time ago.
During the "a hour period, from Fri
day to a. m. Saturday, the dam re-
ceived $4,000 acre feet. The Satur-
day inflow was less, unofficial re-
ports being that about 1900 acre feet
went into the dam up to p. m. on
Saturday. 1t is believed that one more
big rain might fill the pond, and that
the expected January precipitation will
attain the peak.
At this date last year the dam was
almost empty. 1t ran over in 1914 and
1915, and during the flood of 1916 it
went II feet over the top. During the
last three years there was no over
flow.
The greatest "a hour flow on record,
in 1916, brought $4,000 acre feet into
the dam, but it is believed that slightly
more than that amount will be nee
essary to fill the dam and therefore
an extra big flood would be required
to do the job in one fell swoop.
The association officials say that
whether the dam fills to capacity or
gets no more water at ALL the valley
farmers are certain now Of all the
water they can use.

Phoenix. Characters: wait and see.
Act. 1.
Mr.. and Mrs. New Yorker, having
been in Phoenix nearly a week, have
become quite charmed with the thriv
ing little city and have nearly decided
to stay here permanently. Mr.. New
Yorker is thinking about putting his
capital into local business, and he
takes a little run out to the home of
an acquaintance, a local business man.
Mrs. New Yorker decides she'll drop
the evening.
She does so and on her way is ac-
costed by no less than five male in
dividuais, tAo of whom start to follow
her. Much frightened, she tells hubby
all about it,
That's all right" says hubby Tt
was just accidental. dear, liable to hap
pen in any town. You should have
called cop"
Mr. and Mrs. New Yorker remember
they have not had a dance for a long
time They decide to run down and
see what is advertised as the most
palatial dancing academy in the city.
They do so.
Mr.. and Mrs. New York have few
dances They confide to each other the
place seems more like cheap cabaret
than dancing academy. They laugh
if off as local color and hence inter
esting. New Yorker goes to buy some
more dance tickets.
At once a burly individual ap-
proaches Mrs. New Yorker with wink
and asks for a dance, mentioning a
little supper and drink before they go
home. Mrs. New Yorker gasps.
| Mr.. New Yorker sees from the ticket
window and rushed back to the center
of the stage. He seizes the odious in
dividual by the neck and kicks him
heartily.
The manager interferes. Mr.. New
Yorker tells him just exactly what
kind of an immoral resort he is con-
Quoting. The manager and dancers
laugh as Mr.. and Mrs New Yorker
depart raging.
ACT Ill
Mr.. and Mrs. New Yorker leave
Phoenix, filled with contempt and
loathing.
Mr. New Yorker: ITO hades with this
kind of town"
Mrs. New Yorker: "Why. a woman

policemans nose. Even the boys try
to pick up every girl they see.'

MYSTERY ARISING
FROM RELEASE Of
JENKINS UVS0LVED
Republican A. p. Leased wIre1


WASHINGTON, Dec. There was
no word tonight indicating a solution
of the mystery which has developed
from the sudden release of William
o. Jenkins, American consular agent,
from the Puebla Jail, after the deter
mined demand of this government ap-
parently had failed to influence his
Mexican captors. Both the state de-
partment and Jenkins himself already
have started Investigations with the
object of determining what influences
were instrumental in putting up the
$500 bail bond which the Mexican gov
eminent so readily accepted.
1t is admitted that the crux Of sit
uation of the utmost intenseness two
days ago has been passed and that the
Jenkins case has now become a dip
lomatic enigma, the solution of which
offers interesting but not dangerous
possibilities.
A careful investigation of reports
that Mexico has taken steps to aug
ment her aviation forces has failed
to confirm the statement that a squad
ron of "a modern pursuit planes" are
available for service. Information OBJ
tanned through dependable sources,
considered by military and state agen-
cies to be thoroughly dependable, puts
the total strength of the Mexican air
department at less than a dozen planes,
none of which are of the type evolved
as a result of experience in the great
war and with a trained personnel
only sufficient for the duties of exper-
iments and tests.

Christian civilization with all that
it means could not have been founded
upon a myth. If so all legal docu-
ments, letters, etc, would not be dated
from a myth.
THE work OF the Christian religion
in the souls of men would never have
saviour These great results could
have come only from that which was
fact.
Is the Son of God
1.-THE only view that will explain the
facts concerning Jesus is that he is
The Son of God His claims are the
claims of a God. He claimed to be
above the Scripture. He lifted him
self above the most sacred institu
tons of the nation. He set himself
above all men, living or dead. He
claimed to be greater than Solomon,
the wisest man that had ever lived.
He claimed TO be sinless. He claimed
pre- existence. He claims all au-
thority.
His plan was the plan of God. No
man would plan what he planned to
do, for he planned a conquest of mems
hearts, the hardest conquest in the
world No man would have planned
world conquest without the use OF
arms, but Jesus-swordless, penless
penniless-by means of love is con-
quering the world.
His mighty work in the world is
the work of God. His influence in
the lives of men has always been for
the highest, noblest and best.
Christ is the greatest fact in his
tory. He is your God and your Lord
What will you do with him."

Doubt Body Found
In Trunk That Of
Missing Relative
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel

LAYTON, Mich Dec. THE state
ment by Mrs. Sarah l. Tabor that her
daughter, Maud Tabor, died Of asthma
in Colorado Springs, caused some au-
thorities today to express doubt Of the
positive Identification of the body
generally believed to be Miss Tabors.
which was found in a trunk in the
basement Of the Tabor home here a
week ago.
Joseph Virgo, a close friend of the
dead woman, testified at the inquest
early last week that the body was that
OF the school teacher who disappeared
nearly four years ago, and although
no other witnesses were positive In
their Identification, virgo's belief was
generally accepted.
Officials expressed the belief today
that the testimony of the mother and
Walter Tabor, brother OF the dead
woman. would clear up the mystery.
They were particularly interested in
learning IL the body was buried in
Colorado Springs or II II had been Sc
cretly shipped here
Continuance OF the inquest is await
ing the return OF the Tabors from
California, where deputy sheriffs went
for them yesterday. and the report of
University OF Michigan Psychologists
now examining the body In an effort
10 establish the cause OF death.
