CRACK coLoRED REGIMENTS
INVADE MEXICO

NOGALES. Ariz.. March 5.-The
famed 10th Cavalry and the 23th In
fantry. cracked regular army regi-
ments which have been watching the
Mexican border for months, moved in
to Mexico Sunday as demonstration
nguinst the outlaws of that country
who committed raid on American
soil on Friday, resulting with the loss
of American life, and the destruction
of American property. As to the eX-
tent of the expedition into the hostile
country of the republic south of the
Ric Grande little could-be learned, but
it is generally understood that the
troops are bent on business, and are
acting in conjunction with the civil
authorities of the border states.
All during the world war the men
of the 24th and 25th fnfantry9nd 10th
Cavalry were kept in close touch with
the Mexican situation, as neither Car
rnnza nor his treacherous soldiers
were trusted. The colored troopers
know and understand the border work
better than any other soldiers in the
United States army, and if given or
defs to make u cleanup on the "greas-
ers,' results would be forthcoming.

Gently given to William Solder, col

water heater capable of using either
gas or coal. This stove also does

ton of song writer as well as an
author, has become sole publisher of
his own works. He has just received
from the press several thousand copies
of four of his latest song hits, which
the music dealers are selling with phe-
nomenal success.
The songs that this master of mel
ody has written that are popular in
the Southwest are: Sunshine After
Rain" peace, Our Pretty Dove" Her
Heart in Smile" and "The Soul Sub
lime" The latter song will surely
merit its way among the classics; 1t
is sacred number which lifts you in
thought.
The lyric, Sunshine After Rain"
was written by the young author in
1912 and was set to music by Jack
Standley of Washington, d. c. The
publisher of the song soon went ont of
business, canoeing contract covering
terms of publishing the song. The
writer of this song has revised it and
set it to very enchanting music.
These songs will he issued mt whole
sale prices to dealers and retailed to
the public. The proceeds of ''The Soul
Sublime" will go to the building fund

Hitting what he called the tyranny

smoke yesterday before the Church OIL
,b.. People, on 1.-THE Results of Pro-
bioition." He said in part;
Grave social and economic uis-
,urbapces are following the enforce
ment of the prohibition amendment
The Industrial centers of the East are
complaining bitterly because hundreds
nf thousands of workers are leaving
tbis country because of the drastic
prohibition laws, causing Il serious Ia
bor shortage.
THE drinking of glass of VINE OF
a stein of beer is not in itself an I'LL
moral net and any law resting upon
that assumption must fali.
.No law can be enforced that is not
supported by an overwhelming pupiic
opinion. Non-enforcement is huiiili-
c,tion. Notification of one law
brings law enforcement into ridlcule
and contempt, breeds disrespect 1or
oll law and produces social demorah-
zotion. In democracy the education
of nublic sentiment must precede the
enforcement of the law by ponce
power
..Tbe tyranny of fanatical MINOR
itv is more to be feared than the ts-
ronny of a cynical and power-coh-
scious majority Prohibition was put
over by the clever scheming OIL
group of professional agitators' taking
unfoir advantage of a great natioha'
crisis and while all the energies ol
the nation were directed toward avert
ing a terrible catastrophe. Sincerity
and religious zeal do not excuse 's-
rounical methods. Let it not be LOT
gotten that the holy inquisition WAS
one of the most conscientious lhsutu-
tions that history knows.
Undoubtedly the vast majority OF
the people are opposed to the Saloon
and the traffic in high-proot DeVer-
ages: but unquestionably the maJoi-
ity of the people favor the mahuiac-
ture and sale of light wines and peers
Let us have n national plebiscite So

ment. free from the abnormal excite
ments and circumstances of great

The messages delivered by Dr. And

interest and power; in the afternoon
his theme was love. The large congre

Wonde derfully edited by the simple yet
profound presentation of the very
heart and power of the gospel to
! Transform the lives of the believers
Many went away feeling that they
bad been brought face to face with
the Lord, and determined by his grace
l:) live the life of love to God and
their fellowman.
l AT the evening hour his subject was
Righteousness. His presentation Of
this theme was truly inspiring
and his description of sham righte-
BUSINESS and dependence of God, was
strong and forceful. He said that faith
was not the assent Of the mind to any
objective fact, but the response of
the soul of man, to the faithfulness Of
God, whereby man could lay hold of
God, and God lay hold of man, and
that this faith brought to man the
consciousness of his acceptance OF
God, and so transformed his life that
he was u made creature, God becom-
ing not a creed but a real personal
savior, and that men with this faith
become possessed of the righteous
mess of God, and that all othe forms
of righteousness make men bigot or
scctarians. Many in and out Of church
have been made to see the gospel in a
clearer light, and Jesus is more real
and personal because Of the truth
presented in the power of the Holy
Spirit
Miss GOodall is a real artist in song,
and she has captivated the congre-
cations by her personality, and the
messages she has brought in song,
