Be- cause of the many demands made by the war the sales of the Christmas sefis were abandoned but now that the Fighting is over another campaign has been opened in behalf Of the stamps from the sale of which so much benefit results, for the proceeds are devoted to the work of fighting the dreaded white plague.

COURTS MARTIAL.

Not a little has been said at one tfme and another regarding the mili
 tary courts and the way in which they administered justice. There have been demands for changes and In fact a complete revision of the whole system inasrnuch as it has been claimed that the accused did not get fair treatment.
 In this connection 1t Is to be noted lhnt the report of Judge Advocate General Crowder shows that there were i45 cases in which military courts up to June 90 of this year had imposed death sentences, but of that number only s5. or less than a quar- Ser were carried out There were ten executions In France and 25 in this country. There were thus no cases in which sentences were commuted and il is probable that while the offenses were those calling for the death sem 1ence they were cases where clenen- " was considered wise But in con- nection with the death sentences as well as the executions it is gratifying 10 learn that in no case was capital punishment imposed on a man whc had not committed what is crime under peace time law.

NEW oB olp LAWS.

frequently is the claim made, when there is new demand for authorities to act in putting an end to trouble of one Kind or another, that there is not sufficient laws under which action can be taken. It is Of course frequent that entirely new conditions arise or that those complained of are finding loop holes in the law. Just at the present time there Is demand for and there probably will be passed new laws deal ing with the treatment and deporta- tion of dangerca,s and undesirable aliens. It IS a matter which cannot be too fully provided for. but at the same time 1t does not appear that we are taking advantage of or are getting the benefit of the laws that we already have.

FELLOW GRADUATE

 When; Gertrude received a letter from a certain MT. Roberts saying he was an alumnus Of Alrnora college and was trying to interest it's grad-i uates, like herself, in doing something to show their admiration for the grads who had fought in the wat. her. heart responded quickly.
 For twelve years Gertrude had been applying her Knowledge of domestic science to producing delectable meals at her fathers farm. She had kept ub her French, and followed the progress of her classmates with pef- severing zeal, and waited for her TO- nance. Somewhere, somehow, some time, would come someone. She al- ways spelled it with a capital Who could tell but the bonds of Al mora would yet produce-the prince She took a sheet of her best note paper, and replied very coHrteously that nothing would please her so much as to take part in something worthy of the men returned, and of the col lege.

RESERVATIONS DON'T KILL.

No one has done any more work in behalf of the treaty of peace by way of explaining its features and work Ing for its ratification, than ex-Presi- dent Taft. He has devoted a large part of his time 10 touring the country for the purpose of enlightening the people upon it's provisions, taking a stand which at times seemed to be contrary 10 many of his own party leaders and directly opposed to the radicals.
 It Is interesting to note. however, that while he wee!d like to see the document ratified without any changes he feels. as he stated in a meeting at Springfield on Sunday, that the reservations do not nuilify the treaty. but leave it for the most part stiil useful. would rather have the treaty with the reservations than nothing at all" That is the attitude of a man whose advice regarding ratl iication was not followed by the sen. ate. He doesn't say he isn't disap. pointed and he doesn't say that thu reservations have killed the treaty. Oi the contrary he maintains that th' treaty with reservations would b "stIll capable of being made th greatest step forward in the histor. of,the world toward the preservation Of peace by the joint arrangement o the nations"
 It is his belief now that the pream ble is unnecessary and that some 0 the reservations could be put Into diff ferent language so as to remove tn possibility of their being considere offensive. These would not chang the effectiveness of the reservation and 1t is not improbable that such wi be the ground upon which the treat viii be ratified if ratification take place at this session
 The senate hasn't followed M T,aft's advice and this latest Dit come at a time when 1t has been made clea by Senator Lodge that if the treaty going to be ratified it must be don with the reservations. but when a advocate of the Paris made documel adinifs that the reservations do nt kill 1t and Senator Hitchccck seeks compromise. 1t seems rather like that that will be the form in whic fr will eventually be approved.

Indian Paintings Found on Cohehe
 River Banka.

On the banks of the Concho river, near the town of Paint Rock are the most remarkable Indian paintings or photographs in the entire Southwest. in the opinion of J. E. Pearce. associate professor of anthropology in the Uni versity of Texas.
 These unique photographs may be seen wherever there is a suitable sur l face for the paintings. E. D. Sims of Paint Rock who owns the property, | has expressed his willingness to give ! it to the state or national authorities, provided it is made into park and l adequately guarded.
 l Showing the earliest forms of com munication between the tribes of prirn- i itive man, these inscriptions and paint 1 ihgs have a profound significance, Mir | Pearce said, specimens rapidly disap- peafins before the advance of civiliza- l tien. Several lines of development such as cartooning. sculpture and ever l writing itself, may be traced from this 1-early work of the primitive man.
 Most of the paintings in the regior I visited by MT. Pearce was made 1T dark, deep red; with an occa si6ha black figure. Many objects, horses
 men. turkeys. the sun. moon and starr appear in the pictures, and represen all phases of the life of these earl,
