SHOE ON OTHER FOOT

A MEXICAN was taken from Texas jail and A lynched, whereupon the Mexican govern ment made representations to the State Depart ment at Washington. In this case the shoe is on the other foot. In the recent past Americans have got highly excited when their countrymen have been deprived of their lives in Mexico with out process of law, and have demanded that the Mexican government make instant reparation and visit prompt punishment on the murderers What is Texas or the United States going to do in the present instance?
 There is bill pending in congress that, if it were enacted into law, would effectually meet the situation. It is known as the Dyer anti-lynching bill and undertakes to hold the county in which d lynching occurs responsible for damages to the estate of the deceased. The measure has met with determined opposition from the representatives of states where lynchings are of more or less frequent occurrence, but 1t apparently offers the only practicable remedy for the prevalence of the crime. The sef-respect of the nation and of the states ought to demand the enactment of the bill.

WHIPPLE ROAD
 MAY BE OPEN
 BY THURSDAY
CFrom Saturdays Da1y)

There will be another cause for Thanksgiving at Whipple Barracks next Thursday, according to those in charge of Warren Brothers crews on the Sheldon street road, who said yesterday if all goes well the paving will be completed and the road open led to traffic by Thursday morning.
 The grading crew yesterday was leveling off and rolling the road be- tween the cemetery and the Bar racks gate, preparatory to the ar rival of the crew who today will be- gin spreading the black base over this final stretch. Laying of the bitu- lithic surfacing from the cemetery to the gates will be finished by We'd nesday night if nothing intervenes.
 The new paved road, realizing the ambition of the hospital command and the chamber of commerce, is of the most modern type and we'll built and handsome thoroughfare. The city's section from Mt. Vernon to the city line just beyond Wash ington street. finished some days ago, is a white ribbon of road that simply, shouts for traffic, and the county's section is rapidly becoming its duplicate.
 In addition to- laying a stretch of paving 20 feet wide the length of Sheldon street, the city has con- structed curbings at the intersections of Sheldon with Virginia and Wash ington streets, and paving has been laid the full width of these intersec- tions.
 On the county end, the 20-foot cul- vert of the old dirt road has been heightened, four feet on one end and six on the other. The paving being laid will prove unharmed by weather conditions, especially heat and cold, since the asphaltic black base is ex- tremely resilient and will expand and contract with the surfacing, thus pre- venting cracking of the paving.
 The road was inspected yesterday by R, E. Donovan, clerk of the board of supervisors, and John Robinson, city manager, who expressed their
 
 at the likelihood of the new highway being opened for Thanksgiving traffic

TRAGEDY IN OBERAMMERGAU

THERE is no art without passion, and mar
 1 must know passion, suffer under it or at tain it imaginatively to put it into art.
 There must be passion to spare in Oberanmer- gau-a quiet, deep undercurrent of it running through the entire life of any likely candidate for the principal role. Not only passion but trag- edy eliminates in each decades election. It is decorously held in hand by the respect for tra- dition and by the continental reverance for cid CTS assembled in committee.
 Each election is not only clash between youth and age; the years between signify that favored candidate f otrhe role of Christus, who approach ed the age of 30, missing election, misses every chance to play the part for at the next voting he is opposed not only by his own former defeat, but ih his turn, by youth.
 ."I had an inklng of the devastating disappoint- ment of such defeat when 1 met Aloysius Lang, the understudy of Anton Lang, and his most for m1dabe rival" Ferdinand Reyher writes in the Atlantic Monthly. He is 26 athletic and almost u e handSomest 1 have ever seen. He will play the role of Ncodemus, and barring accident, never that of Christus."
 Behind the performance of the Passion play there IS a4-pervadlng preparatory passion to spare. Men and women have gone insane over their roles; on- ly 'unblen1ished women" being permitted to act, girls have deferred their marriage for years, on tEe hint that they might be chosen for one of ti!e Marys, and at least one Judas sought to hang himself.

ANOTHER HAND-OUT

ERdANY must import two million tons ot 0 grain in the next year if famine is to be avoided. But the cost of the grain would be 800 billion marks at the present rate of exchange which is twice as much as all the paper money n circulation ill Germany.
 Query Who will furnish the grain?
 Why, the United States, of course, just as she will assume the support of the victimized Greeks who have dissipated their substance while playing cats paw for the rest of Europe in fighting the Turks; and just as she will take over again the feeding of many million Russians the soviet government can continue without hindrance its policy of confiscating about everything the peas antry produce-that is unless the American people decide they have seen enough of dissolute Europe's improvidence, and call halt on. their contributions.

GARY BLOCK RETURNS
 AFTER 4 VISIT HOME

Gary E. Block, son of Ed Block of this city, has returned to his home in Kansas after passing an enjoyable vacation here with his parents. While at his old home, young Block took advantage of the opportunity to visit the steam-shovel workings at the United Verde in Jerome, in which he was interested by reason of the fact that he and his two brothers-in-law operating mines at Pittsburg, Kans., keep four steam-shovels in constant operation. Their production has averaged more than a thousand tons of coal daily for the past several years.
 Finding themselves without ade- quate shipping facilities for increas- ing production some time ago, they built ten miles of railroad, connect ing their property with two main lines. They employ about 12O men at their mines and shovels. During his stay in Prescott, Blocks old friends joined in congratulating him upon his success, which is regarded as an example of the progress of young men who go from the smaller towns into the industrial life of larger cities
