The recent execution of Jose de Leon
Toral, the young Mexican who aSsas-
sinated President Aware Obregon, re-
calls the latter interesting individuality
to mind. I met him in 1915 when he
came north for the conference with
Gen. Scott, representing the United
States, which had been rendered nee
essary by American pursuit into Mexi-
can territory of the quondam revolu-
ZIONIST, Pancho Villa.
The meeting was in his private car
In the broiling railroad yards of Juarez
the Mexican town situated just across
the Rio Grande River from FL Paso,
where the conference was held. Then.
and always after, Gen. Obregon-he
had not yet attained the presidency
impressed me with a certain air OF
stoicism. He seemed almost as UNI
emotional AS the poems in whose inter-
est he had been fighting. One could
not imagine him as being superStitiouS.
and consequently it is possible to place
full credence in statement he later
made to DR.. Walter F. Prince, OF the
Boston Society for Psychic Research,
in relation to psychic experience in
his earlier days.

considerable distance from the town in
which their mother. Sonora Obregon,
and several other brothers lived.
The contrast of those days with Obre-
CONS later life affords a view not dis
similar to the circumstances enveloping
the career of Abraham Lincoln. The
brothers toiled twelve hours a day, and
In the few hours of diversion left to
them, spent their time reading to each
other from the few books the hacienda
afforded. It should be stated that
Aware Obregon already had shown
ability. 1t is an interesting fact that
his mother had a presentiment that he
would rise high in the world.

Spending the Profits.

Not as many women as one hears
about have made money in stocks and
business. but still quite few have
reaped gains. They now face the prob
lem of what to do with their profits.
Easy money becomes uneasy money
and it is felt instinctively by vast
majority that spending such money
should be done with the same paucity
of thought that attended making it.
We are not one with those who make
the spending of money great moral
issue. But we do find in the spending
of money something Of great practical
significance to women.
Conceding the fact that ones present
profits we're easily acquired, 1t Is also
true that circumstance rather thar
Judgment determined the net results
Depending indefinitely on circumstance
or luck, as it is more Familiarity known
is far from advisable.
Luck will inevitably change, and one
may be left with great capacity to
spend and lack of the wherewithal to
spend.
s Those who are wise will cache or
store away what they have secured for
themselves. They will continue to lead
their normal lives unless the income
on their newly acquired principal Is
such as to justify a higher standard OF
living.

profits? 1t doesn't matter particularly

A Sermon for Today
Modesty and Shyness.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Text: when they sought him he
could not be found. Behold.
he hath hid himself among the stuff. "
I Sam. x2l-22.
1t was Saul's coronation day as King
of Israel When they were ready to
present him to the people he could not
be found. When they finally did find
him, he was discovered hiding among
the baggage-wagons.
Whether this behavior of Saul's was
due to modesty or mere shyness, we
can scarcely say. But We may give him
the benefit of the doubt and credit 1t
to genuine modesty. I refer to the in
cident merely to draw attention to the
difference between these two traits,
modesty and shyness.
There is somewhat of a similarity
between the two, yet there Is differ
ence Modesty springs from an UNI
assuming disposition, while shyness is
due to disposition to self-conscious-
ness To be modest concerning one
merit is always commendable. No true
man was ever without modesty. While
the true man does not seek 10 AVOID
responsibility, he deprecates notoriety
and show. AS to shyness, 1t is a weak
ness, resulting from a sort OF lnferl-
ority complex. 1t makes one humorous
and cowardly, and often morbid and
stupid. Whoever suffers from shyness
suffers a great handicap. Unless he
overcomes it. he will never be strong
and forceful personality in the world
of men and affairs.
Modesty is a quality greatly to be ad-
mired, and one that all should culti-
vate. But one of the first steps toward
success and usefulness Is to get rio OF
shvness and its morbid, stupid, peri
louis self-consciousness This is not to
be done easily. 1t requires much self
discipline, and hard training in the
way of forcing oneself to do and dare
in spite of shrinking backwardness. But
persistent effort will win.

Everyday Law Cases
Does Good Motiue" Justify a
Violation OF the Ld,D?
CnUrNCEEnn
BY THE COUNSELOR.

John Mason called meeting of about
100 persons and aroused them over the
fact that the dry law was being violated
at one of the cabaretS. He lamented
the inaction of the dry agents and
urged the assembled crowd to take the
law into its own hands.
Incited by his plea. the crowd moved
toward the cabaret under Masons
leadership and stormed the doors. The
police marshal angered by the riot
arrested Mason and charged him with
the crime of rioting.
In his defense Mason contended that
he could not be convicted Of crime
as his motive was of the highest; that
1t was his purpose to prevent the VIOLA
ton Of the law.
Mason. however, was found guilty, the
court stating:
"A mans motive may be of the
highest, but If his intention is to do
an act which amounts to violation OF
the law, his good motive is no defense. "

GAS TAX BILL WILL

LACK OF MAJORITY
Measure Amends Initiated Law

Majority to Pass
BUCK GIVING COUNTIES CASH
Opponents to Watt Bill Figure
They Can Force compro-
mise on House Measure

+, An effort to kill the Watt bill. In
creasiug the state gasoline tax from
two to three cents, will be made
when the bill comes to vote In the
senate today.
Since the bill amends an initiated
measure and must have . two-thirds
majority to pass It Is considered
probable that 1t will 60 into the dis
card. This would not prevent an In.
crease in the gasoline tax at this ses-
sion, however, since the house al-
ready has passed Z bill to increase the
gasoline tax and It also will come
before the senate.
Opposition to the Watt bill Is not
directed against the proposed increase
but against the plan to return the
additional revenue to the counties.
Some senators want the state high
way department to get share OF the
money.
The plan to build up county
revenue by giving counties q part Of
the gasoline tax has taken . strong
hold on the legislative imagination.
Some senators, however, protest that
It will give most Of the additional
ffrevenue to few counties and that it
will hamper the states road building
program. In many counties, they
say, the state system practically Is
complete and these counties are ex-
pected to support the Watt bill In
its present form. Other counties still
have . large portion Of state roads
remaining to be improved and it Is
from these that opposition to the
Watt bill will come.
