Train Caller OmitS Louisiana

Listen to this bird Paul Junkin
district passenger agent Of the Texas

his voice and nudged his companion
The two were in the Union Terminal
Station when their attention was at
tracted to the negro porter, who began
calling the T. 4 P. Louisiana Limited
a popular route to Cuba.
When he said, Tee an Pee," Mr..
Junkin pricked up his ears. The negro
displayed charming gait as he walked
down the station posing for the colored
passengers in their waiting-room.
With his hands to his mouth, he
cslled out:
'A-i-l aboard! Tee an Pc east!
Terrell! Wills Point! Grand Saline!

on every station.

you notice anything peculiar about that
list of towns he caIled?" His compan-
ion had not, and Junkin said that the
train runs for $50 miles through Louisi.
ana and only three stations were men,
toned, namely. Shreveport, Alexandria
and New Orleans.
Why's that?
II can't tell you why, because l
can't pronounce them myself. but here's
. list Of the other stations" he said.
And the companion read: Natchito-
ches, Maringouin, Plaquemine, Chata-
ignier, Tibodeaux, Vacherie, Chopique,
Degeneres, Soileau!
"Humph, Station Master Casey
couldn't call those stations himself"

HELL!

Sometimes we say
It's hotter'n He'll;
And when it rains,
IT'S Hell we cry;
IT'S also He'll /
When it's dry.

You get home late
There's He'll 70 pay;

If babe crys all night,
And doctor bills
They're He'll all right.
But still there's Hell, Yes,"
HELL No.

cisco, a well known American operat.
ing on the West Coast of Mexico, who
=: visiting Nogales, informs 1.-THE
Oasis" that he has been about in Sina-
loa great deal, and recently he has
visited the state of Nayarit, where he
found conditions very gratifying.
He went as far as Topic, the capi-
tai of Nayarite, and found people at
work everywhere, and crops in fine
growth. He stated that in the ag-
gregate, but on the various planta-
tions, he had seen fully $4,000 acres
of tobacco plants, all growing thrift
lily and vigorously, giving promise of
big crops. Tobacco and cigars from
the Tepic fields (Nayarit was the
territory of Tepic). are known far
and wide as among the finest ever
offered.
Other crops are growing finely, and
there is promise of great prosperity
to farmers. Mining is also receiv-
ing attention, with many properties
resuming operations that have been
suspended several years.
Peace and quietness prevails. Not
long ago the governor Of Nayarit de-
o1 a rod on oman caoco,o ~, honJ;+c ~,
thorizing good citizens to take and
execute them whenever and wherever
caught The farmers laid in wait
for them, and whenever any made
their appearance they were given a
warm reception. Mr.. Phillips stated
that he visited a few days with one
gentleman who had been given credit
by his friends cognizant of the CIR
cumstances, with having executed no
less than six bandits. He hanged
them all. And all over the state
are loyal citizens who have done good
work of that kind, with records of
one to four bandits gracing trees in
the vicinity of their homes. When
executed their bodies are allowed to
hang in the place of execution, as a
gentle hint to others disposed to take
the road.
Beside individual and local opera
lions state forces have been vigor-
Gus in prosecution of their campaigns
against banditry; and the state has
been cleared of them: Those not hang
ing to trees are seeking other states.
Mr.. Phillips related that wherever
he went he was received with utmost
hospitality. Wherever he went he was
made welcome, and all Wed in making
comfortable and enjoyable his visit
among them.

FAC 7 @ R
Republicans Getting Wise
To The Fact That His
Election In Michigan Can
not Be Sneered Away

WASHINGTON, January 3,-The
Newberry tune has been changed in
the United States Senate. Not so
much keenness is now being shown
in the efforts to make Newberry a
martyr to political cause. Not so
much spirit is shown in rushing to
Newberry's defense. More desire is
evidenced to permit the Federal court
at Grand Rapids and the Senate COM
mittee on elections to determine
whether or not Truman H. Newberry
Is entitled to seat in the Senate.
1t has only been few weeks since
Ncwbelry returned to the Senate
chambers fer very short period. He
was met at that time by Republican
Senators W IN happy contenances and
Newberry's hand was pressed as every
endeavor was made to convince those
in the galleries that Newberry was
man Of whom the Republicans were
particularly fond and also to leave
the impression that there was no
cause for worry or alarm in the fact
that he had just been indicted in a
Michigan court for violation of the
election laws.
Within the last few weeks, one of
the three of four Republican leaders
in the Senate, informed some of his
associates in the cloak room that it
might not be the part Of wisdom to
offer defense for Newberry at this
time and especially would be unwise
to permit the inference to go out over
the country that the Republicans ap-
proved of the expenditure of enor-
nous sums of money in the effort to
gain Senatorial seat. 1t is admitted
now as it has been at all times that
more money was spent in the New
berry campaign than he can hope to
obtain in salary in his life time but
until now the Republicans have been
very lax in condemning such prac-
tices.
That the Senate gradually is los
ing caste and that there is danger of
our form of government because of
the reputation = is getting through
such stories as those circulated about
Newberry is openly admitted. One

LOS ANGELES, January 3,-The
state community property law. passed
by the last legislature, has been de-

Judge James C. Rives of Los Angeles

The law provided that upon the
