FIRST CAST OUT THE BEAM
FROM THINE OWN EYE

The total number of murders with
in Mexico for the period mentioned
might astound us if it were known.
On the other hand, murders for
gain in this country are not in,
cluded in the lynching statistics,
and we need no tabulated record to
inform us that such crimes are not
just now on the decrease.
The Chicago papers are enough.
Our country is doubtless safer than
Mexico, but we can hardly assume
the mood of righteous anger and go
forth to reform our neighbors with
out appearing a bit hypocritical.
There is blood on our own hands.
Our own legal machinery has its
glaring defects. Our own govern
ment has failed to afford protection
Nobody doubts the necessity of re.
form in Mexico, but if we are hon.
est, we shall begin with reform as
with charity-at home.-New York

AVE MARIA PURISSIMA.

On Feb. 2. in the first Year of Our Lord, its winged hours ascended into Heaven bearing the record of the Purest of Women. Feb. Is one of the church's. great festivals of the Virgin Mother of Christ For ages it has been called 'The Feast of the Purifcation. Or the Presentation of Christ in the Temple" On this day, 40 days after the birth of the Savior, his mother having fulfilled the Jewish law of Purification after the birth of a child, brought him up to Jerusalem, to the Temple, to present him to the Lord. Mary was so poor that she could not bring a lamb for a burnt offering, but brought two young tur-- tie doves, one for the burnt offering, and the other for the sin offering. This day is also called "CandIemass" on account of old Simeon's pryarc in the Temple, who took the Infant Christ up in his arms, and sang his ''Ninc Dinlfttts,'' saying that this child was a "Mght" to Tighten the Gentiles In acient times there was a distribution of candles on this festi- val. The flower of this feast-day is the snowdrop.

DIR. BORLLASO.

The Cornish antlquary, William Borlaso, who was born on this date in 16sG, in the parish of St. Just Cornwall, England, where his family had been settled since the reign of William Rufus. is famous for his marvellous collection of minerals and fossils from the rich copper mines of Cornwall but much more from his being the friend of Pope whom he furnished with the greater part of
 his materials for forming the cele.
 brated grotto at Pope's villa at Twickenham on the Thames Rev.
 Dr Borlaso was the vicar of St. Just,
 and a noble friend to rich and poor
 His leisure time was spent in his ab- sorbing antiquarian pursuits. Pope himself wrote to Borlaso a graceful letter, '1 am much obliged to you for your valuable collection of Cornish diamonds. I have placed them where | they may represent yourself, in q shade but shining" Over one of the arches of 1ope's famous grotto was l fixed O large ammeuito.

BISBEE TRIALS
 STARTING TODAY
 AROUSE ARIZONA
Involve Prominent Men Who Are Alleged to Have
 Aided Deportation.

Tombstone, Ariz., Feb. 2.---The Bis bee deportation trials" set to begin here today are expected to develop the hardest-fought legal ba tile in the history of Arizona. The litigation re- suited from the deportation of 1,1S6 striking copper mine workers and their sympathizers from B1sbee, Ar1z., to New Mexico on July 12, 1917.
 More than 200 defendants, among them many of the most prominent citizens of Bisbee and vicinity have been summoned to appear in the su- perior court here to answer charges of kidnapping in connection with the deportation. Harry s. Wheeler, for mer sheriff of Cochise county, who has taken upon himself sole respon- sibility for the deportation; mine managers superintendents and fore men; bankers, naerchants and profes- sional men are among the defend ants.
 Officials of the county attorneys of- flee are understood to have traveled through many western states gather 1 ing dispositions from the men who were deported.
 Preliminary examinations were held ! in Douglas last year. These were fol- lowed by a trial in the federal court at Tucson of 20 leaders in the finan- cial and industrial life of Bisbee, Douglas and Warren on indictments charging conspiracy to deprive a cit izen of his rights in violation of the penal code. The defense raised a question of the courts Jurisdiction in that case and it was sustained with the result that the trial of 200 or
 more, instead of the 20 alleged lead CTS, was undertaken in the state courts,
 A third act is pending. It is civil proceeding for damages alleged to
 have been sustained by the deported
 men by reason of their deportation.
 The deportation of the 1,186 men followed a prolonged strike in the
 copper mines at Bisbee. Accusations
 were printed in the newspapers of the southwest that the strike was foment' ed by Industrial Workers of the
 World for the purpose of cutting of
 the production of copper needed b!
 the Allies and Associated powers :I
 the war against Germany.
 Sheriff Wheeler, who directed thu deportations, declared at the tim that all of the men deported wer known to be members of the I. W w, but an investigating committe
 under Secretary of Labor Wilson re ported that some of the deporte men were not mempsrs oi Ihe !. w l w. but were business men and prop 1 erty owners who had lived in the dis

LA GUERRE EST E1N1

But as time rolls on we'll realize That the war was not so bad. Of course 1t had it's drawbac1zs But it had his g1ortes, too, And to me my greatest glory was That got to know you, TO know you in your hardships. To know you in your joys. To know that my lifes finest hours Were spent among you boys. In dugout or in Y hut, In boxtng-ring or trench, loved to see you smile at me And yell in doughboy French: 'Bon Jour, comment to hell etes vous-' Or sing my songs with me. Oh, boys, I know it's selfish But I'm sorry it's fni. So as 6 boy remembers The dear old swimming hole.

lRATE RELATION PLUS JIG-SAW
 MAKES HOVER A RUNAWAY.

Herbert Hoover was a firm advo. Cate of jig-saws for boys when only fourteen years old. "Grandfathc.'" Miles. with whom Herbert was living st the time on an Oregon farm-he was not Hoover's grandfather but only distant relatfon-was an avow- ed enemy of all jig-saws and not par ticularly partial to youths of a me- chanfcal turn Of mind Vernon KeI- logg, in Everybody's, for February, stves the tale of the early days of Herbert Hoover, known to all the world as the savior Of Belgium.
 According to the writer Hoover had an early training in hardships and the discovery of a, jig-saw, which he had purchased and hidden in the barn, made the broken hearted youth leave farm, treasure and all, and seek fame and fortune on the broad highway, Kellogg says: Grandfather Miles discipline was very strict It made a tired little boy get up, after a violent 1 awakening, from his first refreshing sleep after getting into bed, to go and do forgotten minor chore. And it tried to prevent Hoover from enjoy ing anything to which he might seem to be becoming too much attached. There is a story of the boys hav-
 
 | unworkable Jig-saw, after months ot surreptitious saving of little sums 1 earned by doing odd jobs for neigh 1 bors on the way to an from school o1 1 in the noon-hour. But in only two or three days, Miles, unluckily hunt 1 ing over the barn for a lost buggy. whip, stumbled upon it. Miles de 1 manded an explanation. Little Her l bert told him the story of the pur chase of the treasure. His distant re 1ation was highly indignant anc threatened to sell it to 8 junkman | Hoover was dejected.
 "But the days went by and thu | junkman never came. The jfg-saw re

WENT MAD WINNING D. s. Q. RE-
 FUSES TO WEAR TIT.

Writing of the soldiers who went mad over there Edwin G. Burrows in The Home Sector, the ex-so1dier's s magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, states: Exclusions of un- worthiness among soldiers, some Of whom have done their duty in battle -eninently well, are among the ea6dest of the mental derange- rna1ts"
 He gives this tragic. story of g. lieu tenant whose nerve gave way in the conflict of battle: "Ones lieutenant who won the Distinguished Service Cross refused to wear it, and mention of 1t only aggravated his morbid self contempt. His condition, however, ts cura:ble, and he can be restored to the self-conftdence which his actions justified and to complete usefulness in the world.
 "One striking feature of Army ex- 'perience has been the sudden recov- cry of many men sent home with all the symptoms ot incuraDle insanity. They had developed de1usions of persecution. or some of the other standard evidence of 'dementia prae- cox Yet they snapped out of it with amazing speed, sometimes on the boat coming home.
 Some of the doctors think thai their trouble was simply homesiclz. ness.
