Why Change?
Why try a new horse in the last
heat of the race? You are not ac-
quainted with Geo. Moeller nor are
you acquainted with what he will do;
his only promise and political prom
Uses are not sure, is that he will keep
the present employees, but are we not
entitled to more than those that we
have? This is a matter for grave
consideration, and as a citizen, and
one who knows, I ask you why
change?
On the 3rd of November, vote
sanely and safely and re-elect John
WAGNER for sheriff, because you
know what he will do, but the prom
ises of Geo. Moeller are only a mys-
terry, and there is nothing sure in any
of them. Moeller had one opportu-
nifty in the State Legislature AMI
while there what did he do for us?
Investigate and determine for your
self.

Holo African NatiUss
Communicate BY Drum,

A member Of the Congregation OF
the Faithful who, after many wander
ings, has now at last set up his roof
tree under home rafter Of the syna-
gogue, has been telling rs wonderful
tales Of his visits to Africa.
He was there years ago when but
few white men had yet penetrated
its jungles and its vast plains. And
he says that Africa II some day to be
q marvellous country. Its resources
are inexhaustible. It ID land Of
lakes and rivers and mighty wster-
falls. It will be the next retreat Of
civilization.
And this man, az he sat with us In
a shadowy corner Of the synagogue,
was telling us of the drums that are
used by the natives to communicate
messages from village to village and
from tribe to tribe.
He said that by means Of the drums
the natives can send messages over
great distances. Messages that are
quite as complete and understandable
as our telegraphic messages are.
For instance, when our friend ar
rived at a certain native village the
dwellers were fully prepared to re-
ceive him. The drums, across many
miles. had given exact information
concerning him and his companions.
And he had been heralded as friend.
The tale set us thinking again of
the many strange things in the world
that we, who think ourselves so wise,
are not informed of. And how much
there once was In the world that has
been lost, and of which we have only
vague surmise.

and talk over the radio now, how very
interesting he would be.-Los Angeles

Comparing Adua,,taaes

The country cousin was visiting
her city cousin. She was pleased with
the city and was pointing out the
many advantages Of city life. The
city cousin said: "Yes. we have our
advantages and you also have your
advantages in the country. In the
country you do not have any Of the
smoke and dirt that city people have
to contend with. have always lived
In the city and my lungs are black
from the smoke in the air. You have

try cousin, your lungs are black and
mine are pink. and yet we are first

 Tt was at this point that he got us at his mercy as to direction and instead Of heading for Tampico. he Intentionally made for Puerto Mex ico, which we reached Monday morning.
 We never lost control of the crew at any time as we had dis armed them when we went aboard last Monday, but without a chart the master of the schooner had some excuse for saying that he came here by mistake, thinking he was headed for Tampico. The chart was taken off by the coast guard boarding off, cer when Commandant Edwards seized the schooner and took all her papers, including clearances from Nassau and Havana and her mani fest showing that she had sailed with 10000 gallons of alcohol and liquors. She is 8 well known smuggler.
 There is no doubt that this Is the port he made for because a rep resentative of his agents met us. On the whole the crew acted very well and gave us no trouble, but perhaps that was because, with Handley's aid I gave them no chance to make trouble. I am glad the Mexican GUS toms officials can have charge of the schooner pending action by the two governments

Americans on Rum Ship Had
 Tough Experience

New Orleans, La. Dec. 8 [fS - Having kept eight men of a rum ships crew in subjection eight days, J. B. Mathews, assistant prohibition administrator, and Petty Officer Handley of the coast guard. remain ed in Puerto. Mexico, today awaiting instructions as to the disposition Of their command of the French rum ship Arsene J.
 The Arsene J., which sailed into the small Mexican port Monday, was in custody of customs officers pend ing a decision of whether the ship and it's crew can be taken to New Orleans for court action. The two United States government men, who brought the ship safely to port after their lives had been despaired and government ships had searched southern waters for seven days for them, seemed anxious to be relieved of their command.
 Not only had they faced continual danger from wind and waves throughout their adventurous trip to Mexico from off the mouth of the Mississippi, but potential peril threatened at the hands of a crew of eight desperate seamen kept in subjection only through continual vigilance.
 Mathews and Handley stood watch from the time the ship was lost from her convoy of captors until she was brought to anchor. Heavily armed, they were enabled to maintain con- trol of the weaponless crew. but never were they able to relax watch fitness.
 Even though he was apparently obeying all orders, the giant negro master of the ship was able to out wit the agents on one point. Ordered made the excuse that he was with out a chart and Intentionally made for Puerto where he was met by rep- resentatives Of his agents.
 Mathews, in cablegram, out lined his adventures from the time he was placed aboard the ship cap tured November 2S, until the ship reached Mexican waters. Con- mandant Edwards of the coast guard placed Mathews and Handley aboard the ship.
 After Commandant Edwards left us" Mathews cablegram read, signalling that he was going to get extra fuel. Petty Officer Handley and myself took charge Of the crew and the schooner. but we could do noth- ing against the winds and current which were very strong. We ordered the captain of the Arsene J. to cruise along the coast of Louisiana. We could do nothing more than this for two days and three nights. being driven out to sea, each tack we made. The schooner was off the coast from Southwest Pass about ninety miles, when we gave up hope of the coast guard finding us. Since we could not reach any United States port, we decided to run for Tampico, for we were forced to take the state ment Of the schooner's master that we had to go with the wind and the current.
