VIOLENCE, when a grim face scowled
up from behind the fence, a long arm
shot over, the fingers Of a calloused
hand twisted themselves into the col
lar,of the assailant and slammed him
back against the rail with a force
that took the breath out of him in a
grunt. Nor was that all. The same
long arm dragged him backward over
the fence and chucked him head first
down Into the path on the other side,
where for q moment he .lay half
stunned, gasping for the breath that
had as good as gone, n gazing half
foolishly up at the man who stood
over him,
But it was only for a moment.
With a face like the flames of hell he
sprang up. The body Of the Pearl
hunter crouched; frightened. r.
There is just thing to expect in
such a situation; but the expected
failed to happen. For the second
time that day the Man-in-the-F Fancy

very genuine surprise. The flame of
anger in his eyes slowly changed to
a naughty contempt, infinitely rank
ling. He turned, and, without a
backward glance, stalked down the
road toward the village.
The Pearlhunter stood gazing after
him.. The Red Mask7eand he hadn't
struck. Three times afronted, and
he hadn't struck. Each time there
had been death in his eyes. What

Why hadn't he struck? Always

what was holding him to the Flat

with the thought, and looked back
ove the fence.

MEXICO UNDER CARRANZA.

Writing in the New Review w. j..
Client gives a Of Mexican con
ditions under CaIranza which has the
appearance of both fairness and ac-
curacy. Among other things he says:
Taken in the\ lump, Mexico was
ruled by a dictator, held in power by
the aid Of bandit chiefs who looted the
big estates and industrial properties,
errorized the people, and refusSd, as a
rule, to suppress the other bandits
(the anti-Carranza oncs) because it
was more profitable to dicker with
them. Mexican refugees say that
though they were robbed indiscrimin-
ately by both governmental and anti
governmental bandits, the latter were
the more decent, and usually left
them something to cat. The Carran-
zistas made clean sweeps.
"There was general insecurity of life
and person. General Salvador AL
varado, in his famous letter to Car
rama, some months ago, declared that
between the outlaws mt the Car
ranzistas some $4,000 men were being
killed every year. No one thinks of
the man, he said; let him die like a
dog in the gutter. For hundreds of
thousands 81 the people there was no
work and no promise Of any There
was great destitution, and there were
no sincere efforts on the part OF the
Government to relieve it. Justice was
for sale. A wave of shameless and
cynical morality, said Avarado, per-
vades the acts Of judges and shysters
who sell justice to the highest bidder,
Elections were a farce. There was
not even personal safety for a candi-
date opposing C~arranza. Only by the
most extraordinary precautions were
the friends of Obregon able to save his
life from the attempts of Carranza's
thugs.
"As for organized labor, Carranzs
was it's bitter enemy. His remedy fol
strikes, though from motives of TX
pediency not always enforced, was tn,
firing squad and the machine gul
battalion. BY Staying and imprison
ing workmen, says Juan Rico, of tn
Mexican Labor party, Carranza endet
the general strike OF 1916. The testi
mony on this mater comes from
multitude of sources, and is irrefut
able.
"I%nsurgent journalism has playe'
exactly the same game with regard t
the Government Of Carranza that
has played with regard to the Govern
ment Of Lenin. 1t has shamele esd
!, juggled the facts. Events hav
, shown that the zeal plot agains
!, Mexico vas the plot Of Carranza an
his bandit chiefs against the Mexica
: people, and that this plot was in tn;
country perversely abetted, to TIL
best of their powers, by the professe
organs Of truth, justice, and brother
, hood"

as is customary. The character Of the
gathering may be judged from the
fact that the great gathering which is
expected to assemble will be addressed
in the evening from tho capitol steps
by Walter Thomas Mills, who. accord
Ing to tho publicity matter sent out,

Richards O'Hare, one of the political
prisoners i~ncarcerated for seditious

president Of the United States without
any evidence Of repentance.
A petition in boots may be a very
impressive/ thing. A few hundred
people makes quite a crowd. Several
thousand makes an enormous gather

several thousand people assemble at
the same place at the same time and
ueIIldIlQ Tic SdIIle lIllIl6s Tic pONy dO-

preston that when so many people
unite on a subject the demand must be
practically universal.
Really it is not difficult to get to-
gether quito a crowd in support of any
plausible project. Some Of the largest
gatherings hat have been held have
been the least representative Of real
public sentiment. But the danger In
these things is that the visible presence
OF the crowd, and the loud noise thai
a crowd often makes, may quite easily
carry the petitioncd party off its feet

FUR PRICES CUT.

Edmonton, Alta. June "A fifty
per cent cut IN the prices paid to
trappers for raw furs has gone into
effect in the Edmonton district and
north. This is the result of the recent
declines on the London and other
large fur markets of the world, and
the local trappers arc now feeling the
effects of tho drop as applied to n
present seasons catch.
News of this cut in prices will be
taken north with The first boats of tho
season, but it will be some time yet
before it reaches the far north, and
in the meantime traders \ there are
presumably paying the high prices

after Senator Lodge. Republican
leader, made a move to ascertain how
many Democrats would follow the ad-
vice Of William Jennings Bryan and
accept any kind of a compromise. In
the maneuver. Lodge demanded that
Democratic leaders inform him how
many Democrats would vote for the
Mcclellan Kendrick reservations,
which were based on the Lodge reser-
vationS- which the president refused to
accept. Senator Owen then invited
the Democrats to his house to talk
il; over.''
The result was that those present,
including. the administrations spokes-
men on the floor of the senate. agreed
to make every effort to obtain COM
promise on the basis of "interpreta-
tive reservations" which Wilson would
accept.
Democrats Are Splitting?
No program of reservations was
drafted at the meeting. it was stated
but the senators determined TO go
ahead and try to yet compromise OF
the basis of 'interpretative reserva-
tons acceptable to the president"

than it has in months it was stated
today at the White House. There was

In spite of owens assurances
some Republicans reviewed the meet
ing a, strayiRg of the Democrats from
the straight and narrow way of mo
to the "ratify at any cost" path mapped
out by Bryan. 1t was expected the
days developments would show
whether it is a bolt from Wilson.

IN NOVEL WORD TEST
Oran Baker Leads Schools by Thinking
OF "a In Minutes

A novel experiment has been APP
piled to all the pupils in the Topeka
grades and junior high schools as an
intelligence test. The students were
examined on the number of words
they could think of in three minutes,
This constitutes a measure of intel
fectual development according to E,
J. Buckles, director of research in the
public schools.
The results do not indicate the COM
parative extent of the pupils vocabu-
iaries, but their ability to associate
ideas rapidly. A 10-year-old child
should be able to think of sixty words
in three minutes, according to Buckles.
To a well developed mind the words
occur in associated groups, as north,
south, east, west. wind, snow, rain,
etc. The tests showed a steady in
crease in mental development from
BIB grade thru the 9-B. Oran Baker,
a pupil in the fifth grade at Lafayette
school. scored the highest mark with
a grade of "a.
The average for the fifth grade was
81. The average for the eighth grade
was 43 and for 3-B. II. The ga class
Of the lincoln school made the high
est average. with a score of 55.
