CHAPTER XVI.


Throughout the night there was spO-
radio firing here and there in the city,
as the Ruey followers relentlessly
hunted down the isolated detachment
of government troops which had es-
capped humiliation and capture in the
final rout and fallen back on the city,
where, concealing themselves accord
ing to their nature and inclination,
they INDUCED in more or less sniping
from windows and the roofs of build
ings. The practice Of taking no pris-
oners was an old one in ~Sobrante, and
few presidents had done more than
Sarros to keep that custom alive; err
CO. firm in the conviction that to sur
render was tantamount to facing fir
ing squad at daylight, the majority of
these stragglers, with consummate
courage fought to the death.
The capture Of Buenaventura was
alone sufficient to insure a brief revO-
luton, but the capture of Sarros was
ample guarantee that the resistance to
the new order of things was already
at an end. However, Ricardo Ruey
felt that the prompt execution of Sar-
ros would be an added guarantee Of
peace by effectually discouraging any
opposition to the rebel cause in the
outlying districts, where a few isolated
garrisons still remained in ignorance Of
the momentous events being enacted in
the capital. For the time being, Ricar-
do was master of life and death in So
brante, and all of his advisers and sup
porters agreed with him that so
called trial of the ex-dictator would be
a rather useless affair. His life was
forfeit hundred times for murder and
treason, and to he ponderous over his
elimination would SAVIOR of mockery.
Accordingly, at midnight, priest en-
tered the room in the arsenal where
Sarros was confined, and shrived him.
Throughout the night the priest re-
mained with him, and when that ear
ly morning march to the cemetery
commenced, he walked beside Sarros,
repeating the prayers for the dying.
Upon reaching the cemetery there
was a slight wait until a carriage
drove up and discharged Ricardo Ruey
and Mother jerks. The sergeant in
command Of the squad saluted and was
briefly ordered to proceed with the
matter in hand; whereupon he turned
to Sarros, who with the customary
sang froid of his kind upon such oc-
casions was calmly smoking, and
bowed deprecatingly. Sarros actually
smiled upon him. "Adlos, amigos" he
murmured. Then, as an afterthought
and probably because he was sufficient
of an egoist to desire to appear mar
tyr, he 'added heroically: 81 die fol-
my country. May God have mercy on
my enemies"

THERE is A REASON.

President Harding has discouraged the idea of
a tariff on oil His secretary of state has protest
ed a tax by the Mexican government its ex-
port from that country. Such Mexican export
tax operates to q degree, protection to Amer
lean OIL The Standard Oil company and the Ma
tional Association for the Protection of American
Rights in Mexico behind these movements.
Secretary Fall is the who whispers into the
sar of the president for them.
Oil can be produced in Mexico for a few cents
a barrel. American oil has fallen from $3.50 a
barrel to s1.0O. Mexican competition is large
factor in this debacle. Our producing industry is
prostrate Secretary Fall would leave it so because
the Standard Oil and Ed Doheny say so.
The transportation and marketing concerns are
unaffected. Standard Oil is a very small Ameri-
can producer of OIL But 1t virtually controls the
transportation and marketing end of the business.
Gasoline is about ten cents gallon in Oklahoma
and twenty and half cents in Albuquer-
que. While Fall helps the interests manipulate,
New Mexico pays.
The interests Of the Independent oil producer
are identical with those of the farmer and the
stock raiser. They will stand or fall together.
Oklahoma, Kansas and other oil states are trying
to help our stockmen. Fall throws scrap iron in
the cog-wheels at the behest of 26 Broadway.
Then people wonder why the Journal does
not support Mr.. Fall.

OFF FOR BAFFTN ISLAND.

When Commander Peary discovered the North
Arctic exploration were over and that scientific
adventures would have to find fresh outlet
for their activities But It was soon apparent that
there much left in that region to be accom-
pnshed in the way of charting the vast unvisited
wastes, in studying animal and vegetable life and
in geological research,
DR.. Macmillan, of Croker Land expedition fame,
has sailed from Maine port in the schooner
Bowdoin for Baffin Land to explore the interior
of that littIe-known island which is now reckoned
the third largest In the world. He was accom-
panied by two experts in the subject of terrestrial
magnetism. who will make important observations
in the vicinity of the magnetic pole from which
both electrical science and navigation, 1t is ex-
pected will widely benefit. Whether observers
also anticipate some interesting information from
the continuous wireless service which the members
Of the expedition hope to maintain.
DR.. Macmillan and his companions are examples
Of the scientific who, without thought of
financial reward. boldly encounters dangers and
hardshps for the sake of adding something to the
worlds store of knowledge. There is no doubt of
making discoveries Of direct commercial value, No
one expects to find gold or other mineral treas
ures in Baffn Land. But for scientific men there
are riches Of another kind only awaiting discovery
and development. And the nation bids these
brave men Godspeed, successful voyage and a
safe return.

the teeth OF the chilling north wind, the frgid

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Most people do read. They could not fit into
the present unless they did read. That is why ad-
vertising Is the most important factor In modern
business, as DR.. John D. Tigert, United States Com
missioner of Education, recently pointed out In a
speech delivered at Des Moines.
DIR. Tgert said: Important as are the factors OF
labor raw materials production, marketing and or
ganizaton, none of them is significant as ad-
vertising
1.-THE newspaper is the greatest medium Of adver-
tisng, and 1t is the only medium that can be used
for immediate effect"
The successful business world Is aware of the
truth of the commissioners statements. The sue
know 1t. Notably Mr.. Sunday and Henry Ford are
been. The churches and the professions have come
to realize the essential importance and value of
this factor in the social, religious and business
fields.
The man who does not advertise is a dead one"
The procession leaves him marooned in the desert
of his own isolation and folly. Whoever in this
day has something to dispose of must tell the pub
lie all about 1t. II he does not do this the public

ment worse.
The demand for commodities must be created.
That is done in these days by education through
advertising. The money invested in this form of
education yields returns in proportion the extent
Of the campaign and the quality OF the article or
commodity given publicity. That Is why the news
paper and the live business comprise the most
profitable kind Of partnership.

EINsTEIN's IMPRESSIONS.

Unlike most Europeans who spend brief time
in America, Professor Ensten has not written a
book Of his impressions. but he has given an in
terview to Rotterdam newspaper in which he
gives his views of Americans. He follows the u.s.
ual line and his remarks not flattering to our
vaniety. He found exaggerated enthusiasm" for
himself and his work which he considers "genu-
inc and peculiarly American phenomenon" He
also found us tremendously bored" "The men
interest themselves in nothing except work :
for the rest of the men they are nothing but
little pay-dogs OF the women who spend their
money In reckless manner and veil themselves
in a mist of extravaganza"
Professor Einsten may be genius in delvlng
into the nscrutable. However, his uncomplimen-
tary remarks about u.s. after the reception given
him. would indicate that he Is afflicted with the
boorishness that has been manifest by so
many Europeans who have come over here and
having filled their pockets with American money
have gone back home to make sport of u.s. Good
taste and courtesy would have suppressed the
preston of his opinions Yet we are really to
blame. So long Americans continue to be easy
they will do 1t. So why worry? - ..

For several days I annoyed Dick

one night.
"Yes-sometimes. Been talking

"Only to Clara. She said you

JUDGE RoDEY AND THE ENGLISH KING,

In our issue Of Saturday morning, Judge Rodey
took exception to- the praise which Dr. Dixon
chautauqua lecturer, extended to the English form
of government To Judge Rodey, any country with
a king is anathema. Such a system, in the Judgment
of the Judge, can equal any system which has
disposed of legal kings.
We would not contend that the English system
would be better for America than our own system
Our education and traditions are such that even
titular king is unthinkable. With our Heterogeneous
population, drawn from all the nations of the earth
and as yet INFUSED into historical and traditional
America, our system of checks and balances and
limitations against hasty action, is best in all
probability.
We have no doubt that the English system Ia
better for the British empire, than our American
system would be. 1t is very much more responsive
to the popular will than Is our system. Parliament
is the government. vote Of lack of confidence to-
day, means the fall Of the cabinet before night
fall With his fall the premier can desolve parla-
ment and throw its members back for an mmedi-
ate election. What the people want in England
can be brought about in few days.
America is still too temperamental for such a
system to be wise or safe The traditional English
man is conservative and careful. yet forward look
ing. The voters all English, with the English
viewpoint America still contains, undigested all the
ideals and traditions Of all the nations of the old
world.
But for responsiveness to the will of the people
the English system far ecipses ours-a tituar king
to the contrary. notwithstanding.
With vote Of parliament aboshng royalty, it
would end today without disturbances. 1t is a
pure political fiction. Americas uncrowned kings of
finance and industry have far firmer hold on
their thrones than has the king Of England. They
have the power also.
The English king has his throne in the hearts
OF his people-nowhere else. They cling to their
traditions. Let them cling they free themselves
any day they chose. Our approval or dsapproval of
their sentiment is inconsequential. Americans do
not understand it. s s
Upon the legal fiction of a king, rests the sys-
tenn which binds a group Of self-governing repub-
lies into the British empire 1t would be difficult
find tie which would bind to take its place.
Canada is not loyal subject to the people of
England sbut to the empire-whch includes Aus
tralia, South Africa, etc, The king is the physical
representative of the fiction which holds them to-
gether.
We fear that the judges horror of the king of
England is scorn of form. In political substance
England is thoroughly democratic than

try his luck. And / was Just as
sure he would have luck.
Clara had two tickets giver her
for a wonderful concert at Carne-
gle hall, and then we were to go to
a studio tea IN the same building.

dress to wear. / would be sure to

derful peaches.

1t was what the neighbors did at
home, so | was not unused to such
little kindnesses.
II am only pleased If yoI enjoy
them" she said. then left. Some
way the little homely thought
made an impression upon me out
of all proportion to the act. 1t was
the first thing of the kind that had
happened to me in New York.
Clara had been kind, Mildred gem
erous; but Mrs. Gray. a perfect
stranger, had divided her dessert
with me. In my next letter to
mother told her all about it.
I met Clara ut the entrance to
Carnegie, and we went in together.
Clara looked very nice-she al
ways did. but I knew, even before
she said so, that I was far more
sylishly dressed, that I outshone
her.
It flattered my vanity, and I
chartered happily, never giving a
thought to the day of reckoning
that must surely come.
