better is it to die for a country that makes war for

. In England policemen are not armed with deadly
weapons—at least they were not before the war—but
when an English policeman lays his hand upon a dis-
turber of the peace and says “Come along," the dis-
turber goes "along.” He is not physically afraid of
the policeman. Perhaps, if he tried, he would be able
to knock down the policeman and proceed on his way.
But he doesn't try, because behind the policeman is

the might of the British law which represents the will
of the British people.
But what if the man arrested resisted one of these
unarmed officers and was helped by other men? What
if the officer was laughed at when he ordered the
man arrested to "come along,” and laughed at when
he ended upon bystanders to help him? The officer
would be placed in a ridiculous position and the of-
fender might continue to defy the law, for the largest
police force in the world not preserve order It the
population of (he largest city in the world was Indif-
ferent to its preservation.
Order is based upon respect for constituted author-
ity. The judge who gives a decision is physically un-
able to enforce it, tut he may summon the physical
force of the county or, if need be. the entire State, to
put it into effect. If no one answered his summons
he could, of course, do nothing. But laws are framed
to protect the people and a strong enough motive for
popular support of them if all other motives were lack-
ing could be found in self-interest. Careless as Jones
may be whether Smith is robbed, he does not wish to
be robbed himself. and therefore aids in punishing the
robber of Smith.
It has always been true, as the little McDuff is made
to say by Shakespeare that there are enough dishonest
men to "hang up" the true men who hang some of
them, but millions of other true men not directly in-
jured will not suffer it. If these were careless there
would be no punishing the wicked and the vicious.
In Russia no one obeys anyone else. Respect for
authority has been dethroned and, as was inevitatle,
order has passed away. Therefore Russia is helpless
as any counliy must be under the same circumstances,
and a comparatively small force of organized soldiers
marches almost without hindrance across the broad
Russian lands. ,
.This situation is unnatural and can not continue.
Mere selfishness will force the Russians to organize,
to make some rules and apide by them. Else they will
lose everything.
Anarchy can not be agreeable even to the savage,
for it deprives the individual of protection, and those
who have helped to bring it about as a means of
achieving absolute freedom find themselves exposed to
dangers which render the exercise of their natural
rights impossible.
I Texans will never cease to marvel at the imagi-
native qualities of those who, knowing nothing at all
I about Texas traditions or Texas conditions, write of
Texas in flamboyant style, depicting ordinary events
in sensational manner, surrounding ordinary facts
I with a halo of outlandish writing which only arouses
the sense of pity. Seemingly, the day of the tender-
toot is not yet over.
Persons who were worldly wise in the ettete East,
and still attempt to palm off some of their unutterable
I cleverness should read Texas history understandingly.
In *11 the historical writings of the State there is
IE little braggadocio to be found. The men in the plo-
1 Beer day* of the Republic1 had * new world before
I them. With Indomitable grit they fought obstacles
I Which seemed unsurmountable. Men like Lamar, As-
• tin, Crockett, Bowie and the rest were brave men, and
6 their followers were of the same caliber. There was
little of the blow-hard in their make-up. All the cour-
I dgo. perseverance and devotion necessary to the build-
ing up of a great State was manifested by these plo-
I Meers. Sometimes they had to shoot, and shoot straight
they did. It was * day when a man's word was his
bond and woe betide the man who went back on his
I Word. .
As the State grew there came settlers from all parts
of the United States and Europe. The finesse, , the
> bophistieated culture of the effete East was lost In
usun and zuburbs, by carrier, daily and sunday.

the crowning adventure of life than the America the-
atrical magnate, Charles Frohman, who perished in
the sinking of the Luitania. And the thought of so
dying as to redeem a wasted life or as to conform
to the manner of life one has chosen, has had influence
upon the writings of many masters of literature.
Therefore we have "Sidney Carton" mounting the
scaffold with joy in a good deed and “Cyrano” wish-
ing to die “some soft summer eve, a jest upon my
lips, a point within my heart."
This is a true saying, whether it be. as we believe,'
our own. or but a reflection of something that has
been better said by another: that he who knows not
how to die, knows not how to live. And of all deaths
the noblest is the death of service.
That was a noble death of the Roman matron who.
wishing to spare her husband the disgrace of execu-
tion. exhorted him to slay himself and set him the ex-

during the.exchange of hos between
American soldiers and Mexicans just
west of the international bridge. His
body was recovered near the river to-

shooting acros the river into the United

Feeling here has become bitter
against Americans because of these
shooting affairs, although Mexican of-
ficials admit the sniping started from
the Mexican ride.
