Offering no real remedies or construc-
tive program to meet the national ana
international problems we face today
Il need not go into the details OF the
convention here this year ! need not
recite to YOU the remarkable document
which finally emerged labelled the Re
publican Platform I need not REFER
to the plank so mysterously mislaid,
But ! AJAX you TO read that document,
and to read the Democratic platform
and TO make up your own minds.
viii abide willingly by the result.
The Democratic party offers not
change, hut the change. It's platform
pledges a definite program OF construc-
tive measures, not hodge -podge OF
vague compromises, a definite foreign
policy for Immediate and permanent
peace. not an underlined suggestion or
new and unworkahle schemes; a pledge
that the safeguards Of working men and
women already accomplished under
Democratic leadership shall remain; not
the fear that "a republican change viii
restore to power the influential few.
Above all, let us unite. Democrats,
Republicans, independents from north
and south east and west, to explode
shams Of partisan narrowness, to grasp
our true issues, our true problems with
broad vision; to insist on progress and
action, and to work increasingly as in
dividuals for the betterment Of our
nations

The Home Sector


Homeward bound, an engineer
regiment which had fought the en-
tire war at Bordeaux was surprised
to find several citations posted on
the ships bulletin boards, While
this regiment had been among the
first to reach France and its per-
sonnet had volunteered with the
idea of going directly to the front,
they were shifted to the base port
in the summer Of 1917 TO build
docks and kept there during the
whole of the hostilties.
None having been sprayed with
German IT'S and all having been
denied the usual avenues to be-
coming heroes, the regiment greet
ed the announcement of the cita-
lions with q stampede to the bulle-
tin boards, There it was revealed
that the greater share of the men
chosen for the honors consisted of
a mess sergeant and five cooks,
who had maintained a high STAN
dard of morale" by serving beans
a la Bordelaise and providing other
deleetable dishes that helped make
the men contented.
Among the officers cited by the
regimental order was a major who
had been particularly conspicuous
for his good work in unloading
shiploads of food and ammunition

midst of the Argonne drive This

officer, was Immediately besieged

immigration From Next Door.
World Outlook

The constant state of revolution
in Mexico during the past few years
has brought perhaps three million
Mexicans into the United States.
In social position they range from
illiterate cholos or laborers to
wealthy refugees,
AS to religion,e most of them have
none. They have cut loose from
the Roman Catholic church or have
become Indifferent to its teachings,
and removal from their native en-
vironment has completed the sepa-
ration. Now many of them are
open to any new teaching which
may come to them-infidelity, L.
w. W.ism or what not. While they
have no particular inclination to
professionalism, they have no preju-
dice against evangelical mission
work, especially if this work comes
through some established commu-
nifty agency.
The immigrant Mexicans are So
cial and are easily reached through
any channel which promises friend
ly intercourse. whether it be po-
litical, musical or religious.

be rid of. The nation has long
been such only in name, but though
bankrupt and STEPPED in fanaticism
and superstition, it has been per-
mitted to survive because of the
jealousy of the powers. 1t is true
that it is proposed to remove the
Armenians from under the sway of
the Turks, but even that would not
seem to obviate the desirability of
removing the Ottoman power far
into Asia.
For the crimes Turkey has COM
mitted the greater nations of Eu-
rope are in a degree culpable, be-
cause far too long they permitted
the empire to remain. Turkey has
always had a large Christian pop
ulation, and that has been the
source of the trouble. Though
Moslem intolerance and fanaticism
has made every possible effort,
from time to time. to exterminate
this element, Christian Europe sat
supinely by and allowed the
slaughter to go on. AS though that
was not enough it appears that the
Turk is to escape the full measure
of just punishment by being per-
mitted to retain his European cap
ital instead of being deported far
enough into Asia to remove him
as a scourge to civilization.

CANADA'S METHOD.

Canada's method Of selecting i'm
migrants that will be admitted to
the Dominion is so much in con-
trast to the plan we have hereto
fore pursued that it is well worth
attention. While we have taken a
slight step in getting rid of unde-
sirables by deportation, Canada has
adopted policy that will prevent
them from coming into the coun-
try The Dominion has placed a
ban on immigrants from southern
and eastern Europe and will adj
nit only those from the British
Isles, France, Belgium and Scan
dinavia. Not only are limits of
exclusion set, but agents of the
Canadian government in countries
open to emigration pass on those
who will be admitted Thus the
immigrant going to Canada runs no
risk of rejection. This is certainly
a more considerate method than
ours in turning them back after
they have reached Ellis Island.
And in making investigation of
the character of the prospective i'm
migrant the government is insured
against the anarchist and the Grim
inal. Unless the candidate can
present a clean bill of character he
will not be approved by the govern
ment commissioner This is GER
tainly a wiser plan than to admit
all who seek admission
and then later be compelled to take
up the job of deporting those who
betray the welcome given them.
In immigrants quality alone
should be considered.

Won1en's Votes Viii Haze Good
Effect on Humanity

The orators in the republican
legislative caucus which, over
whelmingly stood for ratification
Of woman suffrage, would not have
been wasted on the desert air had
reporters been admitted to pass the
words along to willing ears
throughout the state. But one
Of the representatives took time
by the forelock and told the
people of Dona Ana county through
the Rio Grande Citizen, that some,
of his people were content to have
suffrage limited to men, he be-
lieved that feminine voters would
enable the really best men to be
elected over unworthy tricksters,
may fool men but not women
when it comes to morality and up
rightness generally: or at least
women would not knowingly be in
fluenced to vote for bad men while
men often do because of personal,
political and business alliances.
Here is what Representative Isl
doro Armijo, an educated young
legislator of one of the oldest native
families had to say in Dona Ana
county:
The Declaration of independence
was signed on the 4th day of July,
1916. The Proclamation of Enan-
cipation was signed on the LIST day
of January, 1868.
The first document the most
glorious. In the midst of the most
terrible sacrifices and dangers our
forefathers declared their indie
ipendence. 1t says: GAN men are
created equal" .as -s ,
Our liberators used the word
men in it's broadcast sense; that
is to say in saying men they re-
ferred to mankind; while the trans
lators or interpreters who inter
preted our. constitution limited the
sense of the word exclusively to the
masculine gender and excluded in
their narrow minded idea one half
of mankind represented by it's most
beautiful and noble complement
women.
The second document says q
"all persons held as slaves
within any state or designated part
of the state, the people of which
is in rebellion with the United
States, shall henceforth and for
ever be free" -HI
That seems like adding insult to
injury. They were forgotten in the
Declaration of Independence and |
neglected in the Proclamation of |
Emancipation.

Juno Eyes of Countess Potocka

For them The almond eyes admired
by the Persians and other oriental Is
had no charm, and that was no
doubt because the most beautiful
women of Greece possessed this
type Of eye, eyes which, when
Dumas describes the eyes of Hay
dee in Monte Christie as large
and dark and melting he char
acteriZes as purely Grecian."
Large eyes have almost univer-
sally been admired. When beau
tiful woman or a handsome man
Possesses small eyes we usually re-
gard their good looks as something
that exists in spite of the small
eyes. You seldom hear of anyone
who is regarded as ugly because
her eyes are too large, though a
nose or a mouth or ears or chin
that is much larger than the aver
age is regarded as a blemish. APP
parently eyes are the one feature
that we cannot have too much, of.
Among the dominating men of his
tory who were possessed of large
eyes were Charlemagne, Peter the
Great and Napoleon. But you
couldn't prove anything by that
for Caesars eyes were certainly not
large and our own Lincoln had
eyes that appeared small because
of their deep setting. Among large
eyed men of letters there were
Browning, Coleridge, Hawthorne,
and Tennyson, who had strikingly
large eyes. but on the other hand,
tTolstoy, Ibsen and Whitman trio
that may be more to your taste,
than the large-eyed quartette-all
had strikingly small eyes. So you
see mere largeness of eye does not
seem to signify much as far as
mental qualifications go.
