Virgil Said
Of the Ro,cing

"Thcy will win because they
believe they can
The first impulse with some
men is to say, at cannot be
done,' when a difficult thing is
under discussion
To think great things and to
attempt great things are we'll
worth while.
To dismiss an idea or a sug-
gestion on the first blush with
out reflection, and to reply to
ourselves or to others that cit
is impossible" are just what
Robert Fulton, James Watt,
Glenn H. Curtiss and Thomas A.
Edison did not do.
Some of us know many men
and women who have expe-
rienced wonderful surprises in
discovering power in themselves,
the existence Of which they
never dreamed until the exigen-
cies of the war revealed them to
themselves.
Try to believe "you can" and
go to work at once without Civ
ing time, for the birds of doubt
to build nests to sleep in.

represent ideas which were born

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 5.-As-
serting that an attempt was being
made ITO make a mountain out of a
mole hill" Mexican Consul Gonzales
de la Mata, of San Antonio, today de-
MED that Mexican consuls were active
in any plan to distribute bolsheviki
propaganda such as is said to be in
the hands of Senator Falls committee.
Giving replies to a series of pointed
questions, Senior de Ia Mata said:
"A package containing 10 or II
pamphlets written by Arthur Thomson,
and published by the international
Press of Oakland, California, dealing
with the Mexican situation in rather
lurid way was recently received here
by mail in a plain package. 1t did not
bear the Mexican consular seal as al
legged. l do not read English and the
pamphlets were laid aside for future
examination, as are hundreds Of such
packages of literature dealing W.T..
trade and other subjects. None .
these pamphlets were sent out of my
office by mail or otherwise. When
II was translated for me, / found that
IL mfsrepresented facts and destroyed
ali the copies but one, which / am
keeping for my files.
"The pamphlets originated in the
United states. were written by an
American and printed by an American
publisher. The attempt to use this
office for their distribution failed and
I do not see how we are concerned in
the matter"

United States District Attorney Hens

Moore from enforcing the volstead
wartime prohibition enforcement act
as 1t concerns whiskey and wines.
Federal Judge Faris not only ques-
toned seriously the consututionality of
this act, but went further and ques-
toned the constitutionality Of the war
time prohibition act itself as it now
operates.
Judge F'aris in his decision quoted
the presidents veto message on the
Volstead bill. in which the president
said the objects of the war time rro-
hibition measure had been satisfied in
the rehabilitation of the army and
navy"
Judge Faris calls attention to the
fact that in time Of war government
necessarily must take on the cloak OF
autocracv but when the menace
ceases to threaten. when the war is
over, the reign of autocracy should
cease and democracy ought to and
must beat back to its constitutional
moorings IL free government under the

nounced it had received many reports
tnat retailers in various parts Of the

mitting them to remain open only be-

result in the saving of thousands of
tons OF coal daily.
