Georges Carpenter At
Palace Theater Sunday

Starting Sunday the Palace will
screen the much discussed production,
"The Wonder Man." the Robertson
Cole special suepr-feature, starring
! Georges Carpenter, the famous
French ace, and incidentally the
champion heavyweight of Europe.
| No man in modern times has at
tracted the attention as has this
smiling son of France. His person.
ahty has made him perhaps the most
popularSman in, the entire world,
while his deeds in the service of his
country rank as the most brilliant of
! all war record.
| Georges Carpenter is an unusual
man Possessed of a keen mentality,
! he is without question the most
| learned and cultural man who ever
entered the prize ring. A constant
student, he is likewise thorough
gentleman, and sportsman beloved
by the people of America with the
same favor as he is worshipped as
hero in his native land.
His appearance in "The Wonder
! Man" marks his premier motion pic
| ture endeavor, but there has never
been a thoroughly Seasoned" star
who could have acquitted himself
with any more credit than does Car
pent:er, who lives out the title OF
"The Wonder Man."
| As to the entertainment value of
the picture, it is bound to find favor
with every audience, for the. story is
modern society drama, laid in the
atmosphere of the diplomatic circle
Of Washington, and is woven about
the fascinating theme of a French
secret service agent, whose mission
carries him to the most select of the
ultra smart set of the capital city.
The beauty of the production is an
outstanding feature. Beautiful wo-
men gowned in the most advanced
styles of the latest fashion vie for at
tention with the thoroughly groomed
men of he cast. Lavish stage set
tings, magnificent lighting effects,
and gorgeous interior views, and last
but by no means least, the "Wonde1
Man" contains four rounds of the
fastest boxing exhibition the screen
has yet seen. The encounter offers
the opportunity for seeing the Euro
pean champion in actual battle, and.
the match goes to genuine knockout.
The boxing exhibition forms one of
the tremendous climaxes of the story,
and it will be relished by the ladies
with the same keen. zest as it is well
coined by the men.
Judging from the advance interest
manifested in the coming engage
ment, it will doubtless prove one of
the most notable of the season.
The added attraction include a
comedy and the Pathe Nws with the
musical program.

COTTON RUSH
WHEN OBREGON
LIFTS THE TAX
Especial to The Press.j

CALEXICO, Jan. 21.-Thousands
of bales of cotton raised in Lower
California poured into the United
States today, duty free, the result of
an order from President Obregon that
cotton raised in Baja California shall
not be charged the export tax by the
government for the remainder of this
year, and possibly next year if the
price is low. Cottonseed is also allowed
free entry.
President Obregon's order will mean
la saving. of Thousands of dollars to
Lower California ranchers as the ex-
port tax was approximately $40 per
bale or 2 cents,a pound, and two cents
a pound on cotton now is an extreme
Hardship, with prices at their present
level.
Cotton exports from below the line
have been held up by growers for days
in anticipation of the order which was
received late last night from President
| de Castro of the Mexicali Chamber Of
Commerce, who is in Mexico City and
it was an unusual snowy flood which
the order loosed.
Indications that next year rancher:
will be given similar helpful aid from
the government was more than pleas
ing to local cotton growers, who arr

President Obregon has shown.

THE OLD DAY AND THE NEW.

New Mexico is in the twilight OF the old day.
This closing day has been period of selfish
acknowledgement by few so-called political leaders
and the repression and exploitation of the people.
Beginning forty years ago the policy of these
leaders has been prevent education and progress
among the native population in order that they
might be more easily handled masse. Public
men clamored for government schools In Porto

A DANGEROUS COUNSELLOR.

Certain American periodicals have expressed the
view that Secretary of the Interior Fail would in
fluence the Mexican policy of the admins
tration. We sincerely trust that this will not be
the
There has been much loose talk about secre-
tary Falls prejudice against Mexico. The New
Mexican statesman himself has repeatedly denied
such bias. and. under oath, he has declared that
he has "a very great and sincere. deep and abiding
affection for. the Mexican people in general"
But an examination of the 355l-page report Of
the senate's subcommittee investigating Mexican
affairs, of which sub committee Secretary Fall was
the chairman, has convinced the Journal that Mr..
Fall whether he realizes it not does have a
strong and deep-seated prejudice against Mexico
and against the Mexican people in general.
In series of editorials, of which this is the
prelude the Journal proposes to prove this bias
by means of the secretarys utterances during
the conduct of the subcommittee hearings.
In brief the journal intends to show that Mr..
Fairs questioning of witnesses friendly toward
Mexico was hostile and in bull-dozing.

In word, it not direct examination, but cross
examination.
Throughout the handling of such witnesses, a
careful reader will questioning attitude.
But the journal purposes to quote only the most
fragrant Observation-Disclosures where the secretary 8
hostility is beyond question.
| We have been unable to find a similar attitude
toward the witnesses whose testimony was anti
Mexican.
Any lawyer will bear out the statement that
the questoner's attitude materially affect the
character of the testimony adduced. If it is friend
y, the witness will tell his story in his own way,
and if he is truthful, will give out information
that will be OF some value. On the other hand
If he is brow-beaten-as we that can
show has been the with witnesses whose
testimony was favorable to Mexico-he will soon
become embarrassed and the value of his testimony
largely negatived.
In other words the witness whether friendly or
unfrendy TO the view taken by the chairman of
committee, should be given chance. He is
not expected to be able to pit his wits against
that of veteran lawyer like Mr.. Fall Indeed, if
the witnesses had been represented by counsel, the
court would have sustained objection against
arguing with the witness. The examining lawyer
is allowed to point out Inconsistencies in the tes-
timony, but he is not to bull-doze the layman
the stand. This is elementary principle of law.
This, in brief, constitutes against Mr..
Fall a mentor regarding the Mexican question.
We insist that, consciously or unconsciously he is
prejudiced against Mexico and against MexicaEs.
We declare that he has shown himself unable to
approach the question with open mind And we
intend to prove contention not by the accusa-
tons of his enemies, not by unreliable street whs-
pers but by his own utterances while functioning
official of the United States.
At the outset, the journal wishes to make clear
that it does not accuse Secretary Fall of venal
motives in this connection We cannot read the
heart of fellow-being. '@..
But we can prove-and we believe that shall
prove--that, in dealing with Mexico and Mexicans,
Secretary Fail labOrs Hunder an all-pervadng bias
that renders him unsafe counsellor as to the
policy should pursue toward that country.
