This is the riddle that won popular

He is regarded by statesmen Of all
the allied countries as an intellectual
giant. His influence and prestige are
second only TO those of the President

Lloyd george who was the real leader
of the conclave, but House.
Many Americans here ask with sur
prise why the Democratic party con-
siders itself in such a ouandar-y over
its next Presidential candidate. Col.
House, they point out, would carry
on the Wilson policies abroad, hsv-
ing almost as much standing with
foreign leaders as has Wilson now.
and no other American, in European
opinion, begins to measure up to
these two men. The House enthusi-

Many of them have told me that
while President Wilson is the greatest
orator OF modern times. the construc-

his name is due TO House The ret

What We Escaped

Now, suppose the Mayflower had been day ahead of her schedule had landed on Wednesday; suppose. belabored more fiercely by and wind. she had been day late and had made port until Friday. what would have become of this sacred Thursday
 We will suppose also that instead of making a landing a stern and rock bound coast gloomy day in early winter the voyage had been undertaken earlier southern course had been pursued and a landing effected, say the F1oridan coast how different everything would have been.
 Instead of the turkey which was found indigenous to the soil feeding upon the belated Cape Cod cranberry, the pilgrims would have found the succu lent yam garnished with the indigenous and panionable possum wherewithal to stuff ourselves the glorious anniversary of the landing of the Puritans.
 What different destiny would have been if any of these mischances have described had occurred!
 There was nowhere else along the Atlantic sound foundation for nation as that afforded by Plymouth Rock. The sands of Florida would have been warmer and softer The problem of living would have been much less complicated and thers the enervation of our would have begun at the very beginning.
 Our ancestors would have had the hardihood
 
 which would have been Spain. They would have lain tamely the maternal knee and have taken the spanking; they would have recognized in that knee half of the lap of luxury when the mother was in a smiling mood.
 We fancy them destroying cargo of tea There would have been little later embattled farmers to fire the shot heard round the world; farmers would have been too soft. It takes dark and the white meat of the turkey and the pungent acidity of the cranberry to make The fat and luscious possum and the pleasant yam are not the proper n- gradients.
 Nor, under perpetually sunny skies do men grow to full stature and do they attain the right measure of hardihood It takes the mighty creaking, rocking forest the bowling wind against which one must brace himself and to repel whose frosty embrace the red, angry blood rushes to the surface There men made in the nearest approach to bodily and mental perfection.
 It may have seemed cruel fate to the Pilgrim Fathers to be lashed through thousands of miles by October and November gales be cast up at last on nhospitable shore. But these gales were the breath of life blown into nation make it vriIe
 The Puritans thus made hard in body and soul and they were sometimes unovely. But then of all times ruggedness needed rather than love- liness.

Floral OHerinqs

Our neighbor the Tucson Citizen prints q toueh- ing political obituary of the Hon. A. C. Bernard whom it strips of all titular distinction and from whom it subtracts of his initials and designates him as Al Bernard whose political passing it chron- icles. The conduct of the Citizen is like that of many individuals dealing with the physical life and death of neighbors. From other direction were rocks, "dornicks" and brickbats hurled more num- erously and more vigorously at Mir Bernard than from the Citizen. And now political friend could lay greater wealth of flowers upon his political grave than the Citizen has contributed
 The Citizen approaches it's euogy of Mir Ber- nard by easy steps, It it's long disapproval of him and the fact that he is retiring from public life under fire and in apprehension of defeat He is even going to leave the state and settle in New Mexico something that the Citizen regards as pre- escape actual and ostentatious overthrow.
 Admitting the long political success of Mir Ber- hard the Citizen says: He possesses some primary virtues which believe were in a large measure a key to his success. In politics Al Bernard never pretended to be something that he was not His word always good. He did not bother with details By the force of his personality he always leader in the aldermanic body. And as for the old Second ward he always looking out for it's inter- ests The double was unknown to Al Bernard He fought hard and he fought in the open He was worthy antagonist. He seldom lost his temper He not thin skinned. He could take his punishment and come up smiling. He was good sport in poll tics. And above all he stood by his friends
 If there is any other eulogist in Tucson that can beat this should like to see the colorng and beauty of his bouquet.

 It was Angeles that directed the larger opera tons of Villa when the lieutenant of Carranza he was in war against Huerta. and 1t was Angeles later who gave strength and dignity to the govern ment of Carranza when there a slender hope that him. When that seemed longer possible Angeles himself aspired to the presidency we believe purely as patriot because he believed that he more than any other man might Mexico.
