HabLa la Se7ora de Bourbon
Busca la justicia de los hombreS,
pueS la diUina no ha de faItar

Ana Maria Marrero es la sefora de
Rufino Bourbon, ell presunto c6mplice
de la tragedia del teatro "Yaguez'
La seilora Marrero no reside en- Ma
yaguez y ha llegado a dicha ciudad con
ell proposito, como ella ha dicho, de
"buscar la justicia de los hombres, va
que la divina no ha de faltar."
La prensa de Mayaguez y algunas
personas que conocen a la sonora Ma
rrero Sc hacen lenguas de una cultura
exquisite de un don de gentes que
atraen las simpatias del que la escucha.
Esta sonora ha llegado Mayaguez,
con una linterna de Diogenes, buscan-
do un abogado que ofrezca sus servi-

Mas, Ia sonora Herrero, ha hecho de
claraciones, que vamos a transcribir,
porque indican claramente que ningun
abogado ha hccho gestiones para in
terponer siquiera un recurso de "habeas

Preguntada la sefora Marrero, en-

WHY DID GERMANY QUIT?

wv HEN two million American fighters were
M ready for the word when the looms and
~ presses and factories of America finally
began turning out equipment, arms, ammunition,
poisonous gases, airplanes and ships in hereto
fore undreamed of quantities, then and not till
then did the German nation cry "Kamerad."
Americas tremendous show of power in the
production of fighters and of all fighting para
phernaia turned the scale and suddenly brought
peace to staggering world The loyal citizens
of the worlds greatest republic-soldiers and
civilians-by their enthusiasm, energy, optimism
and cooperation made Germany quit and saved
to America billions of dollars and hundreds of
thousands of precious lives.
With the disease of autocracy cured, shall we
refuse to pay the doctor and the hospital bills?
While leading the world to the three quarters
post in the permanent peace handicap, shall we
quit in the home stretch because weary?
No. we are not nation of cutters. We must
we will, pay our nations bills, and discharge our
nations obligations. To do this we must elimin-
ate save, buy stamps and bonds. This is our
present duty. 1t will be to our individual econo
mic advantage, but that isn't the point. The point
is that it is patriotic duty now just much as
it was before the armistice was signed 1t is all
part of the same splendid American undertaking
We made Germany quit. Let's finish the job!

CARRY ON

AM pleased to know that despite the unusual
burden imposed upon our people by the war
thew maintained their schools and other ag-
ences of education so nearly at their normal effl-
cheney. That this should be continued throughout
the war and that, in so far as the draft law viii
permit there should be no falling off IN attendance
in elementary schools, high schools or colleges IS
matter of the very greatest Importance, a1fect-
ing both our strength in and our national wei
fare and efficiency when the war is over SO long
as the war continues there will be constant need
of very large numbers of men and women or the
highest and most thorough training for war ser
vice in many lines After the war there will be ur-
gent need not only for trained leadership in all
lines or industrial, commercial, social and civic
life, but for very high average Of intelligence
and preparation on the part of all the people.
/ would therefore urge that the people continue
to give generous support to their schools of all
grades. that schools adjust themselves wisely as
possible to new conditions to the end that no boy
or girl shall have less opportunity for education
because of the war and that the Nation may be
strengthened as it can only be through the right
education of all it's people"

AN ARGUMENT

WASTE basket in any place of business
II stands as one of the best arguments in the
world in favor of newspaper advertising
You may step into any bank, store, office, or shop
and you will find waste basket well heaped
with circular letters, pamphlets post cards, fold
ers. etc. all advertising some particular line but
you don't find any newspaper in the basket. The
paper has been read and laid away for other mem
Der of the family it lies upon the desk unop-
ened awaiting the time necessary for the busy
business man to glance over it. The cost of
printing and the paper stock required and post
age paid to carry tons and tons of circular adj
vertsing matter to the waste baskets of the coun-
try would buy page advertisement in every news
paper in the country, every issue. But notwith-
standing the mute argument which the waste bas-
kets offer in favor of judcious newspaper ad-
vertsing, we still hear of men who declare that
advertising doesn't pay st. James lndepen-
dent.

A BURNING QUESTION

Who invented senatorial courtesy'-and why :?
AS we understand it, this senatorial courtesy thing
was what prompted the United States Senate
to give Bob LaFollette a nice coat of whitwash.
Minnesota's two senators helped to spread the
white stuff over the Wisconsin mans frame. La
ter we had sample of editorial courtesy" when
at the editorial meeting at Mankato the scribes
fused to go on record as condemning the action
of senatorial courtesy" of The said senator's Now
as between senatorial courtesy and editorial cour-
tesy, is one better than the other or worse? We
pause for reply. In the meantime maybe you
have noticed that Bob again helped to obstruct
needed legislation down at Washington by fill
clustering. Bob was one of the original "wilful'
twelve senators who tried to crab Wilson when
honor demanded that we go to war with Germany.

WHERE TO BEGIN
WOODROW WILSON

!" HE reconstruction period is at hand
The best way to commence this program
of reconstruction is to begin with ourselves,
as individuals.
We should examine ourselves carefully, and en-
deavor to cast out all faults and frailties.
We believe that we will all find that we have
considerable work cut out for u.s. and then when
we have finished with ourselves as individuals we
can talk little more intelligently OF reforming
the world.-Fred Hadley.

GAS CO. HAS HEARING
IN REGARD TO RATES

The hearing of the application of
the Oregon Gas 4 Electric company
for permission to increase gas rates
at Grants Pass was held at the
courthouse this morning and con-
tinued through the afternoon. The
commission is represented by Fred
A, Williams, who makes his initial
appearance as member of the COM
mission and H, H, Corey. Examin-
ers Fred A. Rasch and w. p. Ellis
! for the commission and ]. F, Kath-
rena, of San Francisco. secretary of
the company were also present.
Mr., Kathrena stated the condi-
tions with which the company is
contending and quoted figures show
ing the Grants Pass plant being run
at a loss, although not so much a
loss as that of the Medford and
Roseburg plants.
He stated that unless the income
of the plant could be increased the
company would have to shut down
and quit business as the stockholders
were not willing to continue pocket
ing loss.
City Attorney Norton, Mayor DEM
array, Frank S. Bramwell. o. S.
blanchard. A. B. Cornell, John Du-
buis, Mrs. Hair and a number of
other citizens gave their views of
the local situation and 1t was the
general opinion that the income Of
the company could be increased
enough to make at least self sup
porting business II the company
would make any attempt to increase
the number of gas consumers. The
testimony showed that for several
years past no effort whatever had
been made to increase the revenue
except to increase the rate, which
was done last summer.
The company has about $50 SER
vice connections in this city, but
only 202 consumers, and the opinion
was expressed that many more users
could be secured by active effort. 1t
was stated that about 1875 more con-
sumers at the present rate would
make the business a paying PROPOSE
ton.
The sentiment OF the public is
with the company and no complaint
was made of the service rendered.
but there is objection made to either
raising the rate or closing down the
plant.
This afternoon Mr.. Rasch, gas ex-
pert, gave testimony as to the facts
he found in connection with the
operation Of the gas plant, and he
will later audit the accounts and
make a check Of operating condi-
tions. He recently made a valua-
ton Of the company's plant here af-
ter thorough examination.
The commission held a hearing al
Medford yesterday and will hold one
at Roseburg tomorrow. the Oregon
Gas & Electric company owning the
plants at each OF these places. u
will probably be several weeks be.
fore the commission renders a de-
cision.
