From the New York Herald.g N N old friend who caused nearly 24 NA hours of real excitement along S S the Mexican border four years ago turned up again yesterday when our neighbor, the Times, published three column special dispatch from Fl Paso, Tex, announcing the discovery of the so-called plan of San Diego, under which Mexican malcontents were to form a com bination with American negroes and Apache Indians, murder all adult whites in the United States and take back into the Mexican republic the states Of Texas, New Mexico. Arizona, Colorado and California.
 The people of Fl Paso are an amiable sort as a rule. They are not averse to putting over their little joke on the effete east from time. to time, but we confess to some surprise that any El Pasoan of this day and generation would be so heartless as to perpetrate that venerable document, the plan of San Diego, on a dignifed newspaper like the Times.
 This ''plan." word for word as 1t ap- pears in the Times, was written about 1850. just after the Mexican war and before our own civil war. It contemplat- ed rising of negro slaves in the United States as well as Indian uprisings which were to start with the Apaches in Ari- zona. Like most Mexican plots. 1t came

High Class Music
 for College Culture

M EARLY every college of the W United States has a school of music, and scores of cities have sym phony orchestras.
 Twenty years ago orchestras were few. But it is different now.
 If Birmingham is without a sym phony association today, it is be- cause we are without an auditorium. But this lack will not continue long. When the auditorium is a reality, we will have permanent orchestra, and a circuit to bring the great orchestras here at regular intervals.
 In the meantime, we must be pa- tient.

ORIGIN OF .pIcnnNs NAMES.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
 One of the most interesting of semi literary hobbies is the search after the origin of Dickens names" It is specially interesting, no doubt, because nobody can prove to demonstration that his par ticular solution is the correct one. and as consequence the long list of po- tential discoveries is seldom reduced. much less exhausted. One of the latest strikes is a possible origin for the old favorite, "Chadband. recent writer tells how, a few years. ago. in one of of the small hamlets between Sutton and Epson, there stood small tailor's shop bearing in large letters the name of "Chadband." And he goes on to wonder whether Dickens. going down by road Dorking, noticed the name. and kept 1t for future use,' for on that route he would have passed the very door of tbe shop. The writer seems to think 1t highly likely; while. in proof that Dickens act ually made the journey. was 1t not in the town of Dorking that there stood the Marquis of Granby? And was it not the hostess of the Marquis of Granby who ultimately became Mrs. Weller?

Out After the vaErant,

"Vagrants are the worst kind of crfn- lpais our county has to contend with, '' stated Judge H. B. Abernethy yesterday
 and 1t is to exterminate this species that fill our jails that I am imposing the limit fines and sentences on some of them It is not that they are just yagrants, but the further fact that it is from this general class that most of our crime originates
 Some of them brought up before me on the vagrancy charge are just drifting into the habit, and have done some work in their lifetime. These I let off with a reasonable fine. But it is the chronic va grant. the one that hangs around the low-class poolrooms and other places and never work, that I intend to rid tho city of. It is this kind that is nearly always found around when some trouble starts They are going to the county roads as fast as they are brought un before me, where I believe a good deal of hard work will probably cure them of the habit of eternal loafing.'

 "Oh. hang the grate For myself, l wouldn't be sorry to find another Joo, petulantly replied Jean Powell, her fel- low servant. Not that there's any thing wrong with the missus; but it's not much of an outlook for girl, slav- ing away in the scullery all day long

 A beautiful girl was little Emma. bidding fair to bloom some day into a dazzling woman, her only drawback be- ing her wretchedly neglected educa- ton, for as the daughter of humble blacksmith of Ness, in Cheshire, Emma had always had pretty hard life.
 The antecedents of Emma's fellow servant and staunch friend. Jean Pow ell, had hardly been more advanta- geous.
 Often as they built castles in the air, however, neither had the slightest idea of the brilliant future fortune had in store for them.
 Shortly after this Emma. having changed her situation, attracted when at Uphall the attention of member Of Parliament named Greville. This gen. tleman brought her a few years later to the notice of his uncle, Sir William Hamilton. the British ambassador at Naples, who. in turn. fell more deeply in love with the fair Emma even than his nephew. The result was that be- fore very long she was married and introduced to the best society in Naples among others to the King and Queen. Ferdinand I and Marie Caroline.
 The last named became almost as at tached to Emma as Hamilton himself.

Love Our Anarchists
 Have for America

e PEAKING at a meeting in New g York recently, Alexander Berk. man made a statement that shows how badly our gentle reds" have been misunderstood. Berkman, it will be recalled, once tried to assassinate Henry C. Prick. whose death occurred yesterday. He d ue sweeps away the tissue of lies woven around radicals by government agents:
 The anarchists, socialists, bol-
 sheviki and | w W. of the
 United States are lovers of the
 country and are merely taking
 exception to the laws of deporta-
 ton which were passed as war
 measures to be used after the
 war. I have been an anarchist
 for g years and have. served 1e
 years in prison, but nevertheless,
 l expect to die an anarchist.
 Strange indeed are the ways in which anarchists, socialists, bolshe- wiki and I. ". W. have shown their love for America. Not long since members of the I. W. W. proved their loyalty by murdering ex-service men at CentraIa, Wash. They have been active throughout America in foment- ing strikes, in preaching class war and along with other radicals, who are classified under different names but at heart are much the same, they have defied the American government time and again.
 It is not the deportation law to which anarchists take exception. Any law that does not suit their particular ideas of right and justice is treated with equal contempt and broken when ever the occasion offers. Berkman says he has spent sixteen years of his life in prison and expects to die an anarchist. By his brethren he is, of course, regarded as a martyr; so IS that other criminal, Emma Gold man, who prates about her rights and says, q am going to fight this gov ernment to the last ditch against de- portation."
 We should have come to grief in the late war if we had had to depend on bolshevik loyalty. On the con trary, we had to fight it, inside and outside of the army. Fortunately the good old American strain has not yet been infected by the imbecilic doctrine of the bolsheviki.
 . Americas anarchists are not mis- understood. They are understood only too well. Away with the Gold mans and Berkmans! They and hun dreds of their fellows cannot be de- ported too soon.
