NOT HARD TO RECOGNIZE HIM

Congressman Seaborn Ruddenbury
of Georgia gently smiled when the
talk topic dwelt on the lord and mas
ter Of the domestic ranch. He said
he was reminded Of little Johns visit
TO the 700.
While rambling around among the
animals with his father one afternoon,
so ran the story OF the congressman,
little Johnny came TO miniature lake
on which two swans were swimming.
Papa" said Johnny, pointing a
chubby little finger out over the lake.
''is that the father swan or the mother
swami"

asked the old man. glancing In the d.

Dangerous Aliens and Others.

A decision handed down by the federal dis
trict Judge in New York last week for the de-
portion of six dangerous aliens, is receiving
general commentator. In this case the usual
plea was presented that the men had right
to stay in this country and plot the overthrow
of our government so long as they were not
caught in any overt act of violence. The court
holds that the power of congress to provide for
the deportation of revolutionary aliens is not
to be que STONED, and that those who belong to
organizations that approve of violence and cir
culate books or periodicals advocating violence,
may be held to instigate lawlessness and come
properly under the public ban.
The decision that dangerous aliens may be
sent back where they came from is hailed as
particularly timely, in view of the recent bomb
outrages, to enable US to protect the country
from this menace. While we will all agree that
alien anarchists have no place here, we must not
shut our eyes to the fact that there are others
equally dangerous, that the bomb plotters may
be native born American citizens, in which event
they will have to be dealt with by some plan
different from deportation because people of no
other country would permit us to send our
anarchists to them any more than will per-
NIT them to send theirs to u.s.
What we need, as before pointed out, is an
efficient secret service with nationwide organ
zation, closely coupled up with the police
authorities in all the important population cen
tiers for systematic effort to locate the breed
ing places of anarchy. And when bomb throw
ers or bomb plotters found, they should be
given small consideration regardless of
whether born in this country or in some other
country

Leaden-Shoed Relief.

decision just promulgated by the Inter
state Commerce commission has come to our
attention because in case arising from Ne
braska which in our judgment, if TYPICAL shows
lamentable delay in giving relief from rail-
road overcharges. 1t is not of consequence
who are the parties to the suit, or that the
amounts involved are small The finding of the
commission discloses that the complaint was
submitted December l. 1916, and the order
handed down as of April 4, 1919. The outcome
is reimbursement of the shipper in the sum
of $50, being the overcharge on the rate, but so
long was the case pending that the railroad
tried to take advantage of the fact that in the
interval the government had taken over the
operation of the line and increased the rate be-

A TRouBLE-MAK1NG FICTION.

Like chickens that come home to roost that
little fiction with which we tried to soace our
selves, that in going into the world war we had
no grievance against the German people but
were only fighting an autocratc monarch and
his war-lords is bobbing up to make trouble.
In their reply the German peace delegates make
answer, and it is the only plausible answer they
can make, that the allies are now dealing with
the German people themselves organized under
a new government and that to load them down
with excessive war burdens would be to punish
them for the msdeeds of their former rulers,
whom they have thrown off. The sophstry of
this argument is that it is based upon bald
fiction, although it was fiction for which we,
more than anyone else, are responsible. In the
war aims and activities of the kaiser, there was
no way of separating him from his people, for his
subjects were all backing him to the limit. Re-
CARELESS of possible previous disagreement as
soon as the invasion of Belgium was begun,
the whole German people arrayed themselves
enmasse to achieve Germany's place in the
SUM- and to put over" German domination of
the world. If the kaiser and his war lords were
the leaders in this crime against humanity, they
had every element of their people as willing
and eager followers.
1t was fine to proclaim our belief that we
were warning against mtarism but not against
a people who had built up and were sustaining
militarism, but nobody really believed it, and
the German spokesman who are using this
fiction themselves, challenged its truth at the
time. In word, the German people cannot
get away from paying the bill for the damage
done by them by merely adopting new form
of government; otherwise they could repeat the
performance over and over and never be held
to account.

MEXICO and the Mericans

Mexico has an area of 765,53s square miles
and population OF 100000.
Mexico is federal republic, with constitu-
ton modelled closely after that of the United
States.
The state of Chihuahua, just south of the
American border, where the revolutionists have
long been operating, is three times as large as
the state of New York
The border line between the United States
and Mexico is 1900 milees in length, with about
500 miles of it purely imaginary line. That
part of the border line defined by the banks OF
the Rio Grande is we'll marked.
Pulque is the national drink of Mexico among
the lower classes. 1t is fermented liquor with
a milky appearance, tasting much like stale but
termilk. 1t contains about per cent of alcohol
and is said to make the most beastly DRINKS
in the world.
Like other countries in the tropical zone
Mexico has its rainy season, when showers
come daily. Sometimes for days on end it
rains almost at the same hour and apparently
at the same minute of the day. Usually the
rain begins to fall about o'clock in the aft
ernoon and may continue until o'clock.
Mexico City, the capital of the republic,
considered one of the most beautiful of the
worlds capitals This ancient city dominates
the land as Paris does France. Today the cap
ital of Mexico is essentially modern, picturesque
in site, bracing in climate, but somewhat unhn-
ished INTELLECTUALLY and in other ways.
The Mexican bill of rights, or "the rights
Of man." as it is called. forms the first section
Of the federal constitution, and covers nearly
the whole range of powers and privileges
which should be enjoyed by self-respecting
and self-reliant people. In form and theory
the bill of rights could scarcely be improved
upon. but its execution, of course, is an en-
tireE different matter.

n EGGY, the Genie. Billy and
i Balky Sam paused at the top
of the cliff for only a moment. Red
Beard and his horsemen were close
behind. To wait there meant cap
ture or worse, for Red Beard was in
such a rage he would have no
thought Of mercy. The only way
to escape was to slide down the
steep, smooth surface of the cliff
and trust that some lucky chance
might slow them up before they
reached the rocks at the bottom.
'Hee-haw! I'll go first,' volun-
teered Balky Sam in true soldier
fashion. He sat down on the edge
of the cliff, gave little heave and
away he went so abruptly that he
lost his balance and shot down the
slope on his back, with his legs paw
ing the air.

Peggy wanted to laugh, but she
didn't have time. The Genie lifted
her to the edge, and in a second she

They were none too soon, for as
the Genie dropped off Red Beard
and his horsemen dashed out of the
pass. Red Beard was so eager to
capture them that he plunged down
the cliff after them, and in his train
came all his men and all their
horses. And, like Balky Sam. the
men and horses started so abruptly
that they lost their balance and went
kicking. whirling and spinning down
the slide.
1t was a thrilling coast Peggy
and Billy would have enjoyed it i'm
mensely II it hadn't been for the un-
certainty of where they were going
to land and the certainty that Red
Beard was scooting down right after
them.
At first they slid down the wide
face of the cliff, but soon they found
themselves coasting down a narrow
chute, much like toboggan slide.

Robert Cowell.

Robert Cowe surely had surprise for all
of us in the announcement of his retirement
from business, but there is counterbalance in
his promise to continue his active participation
in public affairs, for he has been for years a
forcefu factor in the life of the city. We would
hate to feel that his retirement from business
meant cessation OF his freely expressed and al
ways independent opinion on the uppermost
topics of the day. He is the kind of business
man who is helpful to the community From a
newspaper standpoint, Mr.. Cowell has made a
mark by his characteristic line of copy" in his
advertisements so intimately rejecting the man
and we wonder whether anyone can duplicate
this unique style of writing If Mr.. Cowell did
not dislike personal ostentation, we would say
this would be the right time for public testi-
monal to his large and valued service to the
people of this city.
