Bruce rode on, as the Indians

they supported massive gates of iron-

an appearance Of perrnanency In their

those open gates had an air of in

THE HOUSE OF DAVID NOEL.

IfiE HOUSE OF DAVID NOEL
For a long time the road had been
winding among passes. high walls Of
rock and verdure. Now turning back,
the way had opened out before the
traveller, and Corey Bruce saw the
magnificent coast far below him, like
an unbelievably lovely picture that
had no limit, but finally merged into
the blue immensities of the ocean. In
voluntarily he refined in his horse and
looked, barring his head.
Far to the northward, like a magi-
cal vision the city stretched eleam-
ing along the shore of a bay all rose
and silver light in the afternoon
glow, and dotted with islands green
as the plumage Of the parrots in the
forest around the travellers. Away
on either hand as far as the eve
could follow, masses Of mountains OF
fantastic forms seemed piled one up
on another, until they merged finally
into sea or cloud. The superb forests
crept down and clasped the city, and
the city reached up toward the noun
tains; villas rested here and there on
clefts or great lodges where highways
went winding devious courses. AS

ALL WERE AMERICANS

From time to time it has appeared that the Demo-
cratic party would make attempts to inject the recent
future, but at the banquet Of the party's national commit
tee in Chicago Thursday evening Attorney General Pal
mer stated that he did not put the victory of the world
war in the proud list of Democratic achievements"
On the surface, such a plain and direct statement
ought to be sufficiently reassuring to those who have
feared the possibility of active patriotism being mixed up
with politics. But when one reads between the lines Of the
report Of Mr.. Palner's address. the implication seems,
never the less, to be that it was the Democrats who led
the nation to victory. This is an echo of the appeal which
the president a few days before the November elections
OF last year directed to the voters of the country who
were told that it would be highly desirable to have a
Democratic majority returned to both houses Of congress.
= At that time Mr.. Wilson'S appeal was construed as a
reflection upon the patriotism Of the Republican party
whose leaders deeply and Indignantly resented the infer
ence and supported their protests against it by a table
showing the proportion Of Republican and Democratic
votes cast in favor Of war legislation; there was nothing
to show that Republican willingness to help and to sac
rihce had been one whit less than that of the Democrats
1t would be unfortunate in the extreme to conduct a
political campaign upon the basis Of war achievements in
which both parties shared alike. In the fierce days of con-
fict there was no actual distinction between Republican
and Democrat. All were Americans, and the whole ma
ton was welded together as never before in it's history.
Party lines had not disappeared, but they maintained a
gratifying measure of Tow visibility and it was not
even possible to point to a difference Of degree with re-
spect to the fervor Of patriotism.
Even though the leaders of the Democratic, party
may discourage all attempts to fight politically on the
ground that 1.-The Democrats won the war;" it is not GER
tain that the lesser lights will take the cue, and we may
therefore anticipate much cheap fa4aticism on that
score.
Historians of the future will %truthfully record that
the American people took part in the great world war
wholeheartedly and successfully, and that during the
period of greatest stress no one thought of party distinc-
lions, but only Of achieving that upon which every red.
blooded American had set his heart: The winning of the
war. 1t is better not to pollute the sources from which
the historians are to gather their material.

MEXICOS "ENFANT TERRIBLE"

Reports from Mexico indicate that the irrepressible
Villa is at it again. Until quite recently little had been
heard Of the bandit chieftain since his departure for the
interior of Mexico in the summer Of 1916, but it seems
that he has used part Of the time which he has spent in
forced retirement for the preparation lof a coup d'etat
whose climax now is said to have been reached with the
proclamation of General Felipe Angeles as provisional
president Of Mexico. Quite appropriately, Villa has re-
served the portfolio Of secretary Of war for himself.
President Carranza considered the new turn Of
events 50 serious that he asked the United States govern
ment for permission to transport troops through Ameri-
can territory for the ostensible purpose Of protecting
Americans residing in Chihuahua. The state department
at Washington has categorically refused to give the per-
mission, and there the matter rests for the time being.
The situation Will, however, not remain static very
long; it is frausht with too heavy and too serious posi-
baities to be left whore it ID. and 1t may be assumed that
the next few days will bring = change in one direction or
the ether.
There can Be no doubt that the present aim of villa
r. - It hs been for several years. to make himself the
real dictator Of Mexico. II It Is true, as reported, that the
carranzist troops are more or less demoralised and that
the recognized government at Mexico City Is slightly con-
fused about the new development. 1T need not surprise
anyone that the arch bandit Of the American continent
Win finally succeed in graspins that power the possession
OF which seems to be the goal of his most intense ambi-
tions. Il he actually does install himself Is the supreme
despot Of the republic. II Is likely that Mexico once more

His Guilty Look Led
TO Serious Trouble

Jim Pishenen was arrested Sun
day night by Deputy James Barrett
under peculiar circumstances. The
Italian carried bag containing five
pints Of whiskey and got along all

following him and he stopped and
placed his bag on the steps and look
ed carefully around. Deputy Barrett
wasn't on duty but Glanced to be
driving in an automobile past the
spot and at once took note Of the
furive glancing about. He went on
around the street and got out. COM
ing back carefully in most approved
Sherlock Holmes Style. A street car
shut off the view while he approach
ed so that Jim Pishenerie did not
realize what had happened until he
was grasped firmly by he right arm.

In the Mean Time Mayor
Bowen Holds $40 For
felt Money.

Late last evening on Water street
a fight occurred in which Rose Lewis,
Mary Peavy and John Henry Williams
took part These people, colored, ap-
peared at police court this morning
but in spite OF lengthy and careful
questioning the cause OF the fight
could not be learned. Mary said John
Henry struck Rose, her sister, and she
tried to pull John Henry away. ANY
body'd do that, wouldn't they. Judge%
asked Mary. The mayor agreed that
il the girls were innocent victims he
would give back the $50 which they
were forced to put up as forfeit to ap-
pear this morning. The money is held
however, pending investigation. John
Henry was fined $25. In default Of the
$25, large unhappy negro went shut
fling back to jail to the loud jangle Of
the big keys. The women were re-
leased.

charged with reckless driving, was

they enter the lehrs. Today man
