ON FINISHING THINGS
There is an old phrase that in days past
sometimes preceded a fight "Don't start
anything you aren’t prepared to finish!”
It was good advice to the man looking for
trouble. It is good advice today in all
walks of life and to all kinds of people
for there are many men who are amazing-
ly willing beginners of anything and
everything but who never seem to have
the ability or the knack or the stick-to-
it-iveness to finish what they have begun.
The contractor who planned your house
went ahead briskly with the work until
he came to putting on the roof—and then
went off and did something else would
neither be likely to get his pay for that
job or many- more contracts for other
houses. Yet that is what thousands of
men everywhere are doing in business—-
in civic improvement—in politics—in the
affairs that have to do with city broaden-
ing.
A man enters business as a merchant.
He hires a good store and buys a stock
that ought to sell with proper selling
methods. He announces that he is ready
for business. Then he lets his clerks do
the work or he fails to have a system or
he treats his customers in such a man-
ner that they don’t come back or just
as he is on the verge of success he cuts
down his advertising or lowers his grade
of goods or gets too aristocratic to attend
to his own work. Failure follows be-
cause although he built good walls he
failed to put on the roof.
A city becomes tired of inefficient gov-
ernment. Its business and professional
men who have not taken much interest
in politics decide to take things into their
own hands. They nominate a ticket of
good men. There is a lively campaign
The new officials who are frequently as
inexperienced as they are well-intentioned
are elected and take office. Then the
good people who have overturned a city’s
politics go back to their avocations and
give no thought to the city’s affairs for
another year or two when they wonder
that the machine politicians who have
never stopped working regain control.
They did not wait to get the roof on.
Some thinker suggests a plan that will
make a city greater and more prosperous
gain it additional population or attract
business to it. A score of citizens leap
forward with enthusiasm and start the
project with blare of trumpets. But there
is much work to be done the day is long
and the sun is hot. Each takes his siesta
depending on his fellows to complete the
work. The plan fails after much toil and
energy has been wasted because the
workers were good starters and poor fin-
ishers.
The man or the community that suffers
from inertia and cannot start things is
unfortunate but doubly unfortunate is the
man or community which sets out to
build a pyramid and never completes the
apex.
WAR IN WEST VIRGINIA
Another strike of coal miners has
started in West Virginia again directing
attention to the fact that that state has for
several months been undergoing many of
the experiences common to war. Martial
law has been declared three times since
the labor troubles began and is still in ef-
fect although of late the number of state
troops in the field has not been large.
Although the series of strikes has ex-
tended over many months it has attracted
less general attention throughout the
country than most important labor dis-
putes. The primary cause of this seems
to be the remote location of the trouble
back in the mountainous regions of the
state. Friends of the striking miners
would add to this that there has been a
conspiracy of silence in the interest of the
coal operators in which the state authori-
ties and the military have joined. Mak-
ing every allowance for partisan bias in
this it seems quite likely that there is a
measure of truth in the claim for trained
observers who have visited the scene of
the trouble recently and written their ob-
servations are quite -generally agreed that
the miners’ side of the trouble has not re.
ceived as much publicity as the contention
of the operators.
The trouble started over what the min-
ers believed to be intolerable conditions.
There was an absence of miners’ represen-
tatives at the weighing scales. The prices
at the company’s stores were much higher
than in stores outside the mine villages.
The mine police employed by the operat-
ors. were arrogant and free’with their use
of firearms. Most of the companies con-
trolled even the public roads near their
mines and remonstrance against condi-
tions meant discharge homelessness and
the blacklist.
On the other side the miners are a
rough hardy set to whom fighting is no
hardship. All the outrages were not com-
mitted by either side. If may be true that
the mine guards fired the first shots when
the real trouble began but it is equally
true that the miners did their share of
the fighting after things got started.
When the governor declared martial
law there seems to have been an attempt
on the part of the soldiers to punish all
law-breakers on both sides. It did not
work equally however because the mine
guards had been imported for the trouble
and most of them made their escape be-
fore they could be brought to justice. The
miners with their homes and families near
at hand could not get away. So the hand
of the law fell harder on the miners than
on the employes of the operators.
For a long time high low and middle
justice in certain sections of West Vir-
ginia has been dispensed by militia offi-
cers who may be excellent gentlemen but
in the nature of things cannot all be ex-
pected to have judicial minds. Some of
them have been arbitrary and arrogant
and some have been vacillating and weak
while others have shown a desire to be
entirely fair. Generally speaking how-
ever. the system has not worked very well
which was to be expected martial law
not fitting satisfactorily into the American
form of government.
It appeared a fortnight or so ago that
the trouble was about over in West Vir-
ginia. The resolution of Senator Kern for
an investigation hastened a settlement
which the state authorities believed they
had accomplished. But it would appear
that some of the operators are not willing
to meet the men half way in bringing
about peace. Hence the new strike which
may mean a resumption of hostilities.
Liberty lovers in all states whatever
their sympathies may be in regard to la-
bor unionism will hope that by means of
Senate investigation or some other action
the condition in West Virginia may be
brought to an end. No state and no sec-
tion of any state should be under mar-
tial law for months.
PATRIOTS AND FANATICS
The Dervish who rushes screaming into
a hail of lead lashing about him with his
spear until his last breath because by kill-
ing Christian dogs he wins for himself im-
mediate paradise is called a fanatic. The
Japanese who plunges with a hundred of
his fellows into a trench and meets in-
stant and certain death in order that the
remainder of his regiment may pass over
their bodies to victory for the everlasting
glory of Nippon and the mikado is called
a patriot. The distinction between patriot-
ism and fanaticism must necessarily be
largely a matter of viewpoint.
Every great war brings into being its
heroes and either side excels in heroism
as its soldiers possess intelligence and pa-
triotism—an understanding of the pur-
poses of the war and fealty even unto
death to the principles for which they are
fighting. Quite generally speaking the
excess of real heroism in one army as
compared to its enemy is likely to be
about in the ratio of volunteers as com-
pared to conscripts. The soldier who
neither knows nor cares why he is fight-
ing probably will not risk his life more
often nor more recklessly than is neces-
sary. The patriotic volunteer is filled
with a zeal that makes him dare death and
often go cheerfully to meet it. No war in
history has shown more instances of ex-
alted heroism among the plain soldiery
on both sides than the war between the
States because in no other war were so
many men of intelligence fighting on both
sides for sheer principle.
Japan beat Russia again and again not-
withstanding the advantages of fortifica-
tions and frequently of numbers because
the Russian soldiers were conscripts
without interest in their cause while every
Japanese was willing to die if need be for
the good of his nation. As news comes
out of the Balkans it appears that this
same difference between the armies ac-
counts for much of the continued success
of the allies against the Turk.
An American missionary who was at
the battle of Kirk Kilesseh and who has
just returned to this country tells of a
Bulgarian soldier who killed his own com-
manding officer. Upon being taken be-
fore a military court he said he shot the
man because he thought he was a Turk.
"But he wore the Bulgarian uniform”
said the judge. "He did” replied the sol-
dier “but he was running away from the
fight. Bulgars do not run away. Only
Turks run away. So I thought he was
a Turk and shot him.” Whereupon the
judge congratulated the soldier and pinned
a medal on his breast—and they buried
the officer with dance music.
There is no beating this spirit which
applauds a soldier for killing his own com-
manding officer if that officer proves to
be a coward for retreat by such an army
is impossible unless ordered as a matter
of strategy. The people of the Balkan
states have been cultivating this spirit in
their children for .generations just as the
people of Japan inculcate it in all their
teachings. When a people are contented
to die if only they can do their share to
defeat the enemy before they go it is
very hard to defeat them. If two such
nations meet the war must be almost one
of extermination; when one nation only
has such patriotism—or fanaticism if you
will—-the outlook for its enemy is nearly
hopeless.
GETTING THEM CHEAP
One of the most disheartening things in
the occasional exposures of graft in Amer-
ican municipalities is. the low price at
which the grafters hold their honor. It is
not surprising that a poor man should oc-
casionally be tempted and fall when an
opportunity comes his way to sell his
vote or influence at a price that means re-
lief from want. It is surprising that an
officeholder should barter his vote for a
price that is ridiculously small even for
the acceptance of a poor man.
A boss of the old school in one of the
Eastern states was quoted a few years
ago. as cynically declaring of one of the
towns under his dominion that the party
with the most money always carried it
and that if the time should ever come
when neither party could raise a single
cent for the election the town would go
for the side that could put up a box of
cigars. This seemed the acme of exag-
geration but instances have come to light
in many municipalities not far removed
from that comment.
In the old days in Philadelphia city
councilmen sold their vote for $lOO a
suit of clothes or a meal ticket. New
Hampshire was controlled year after year
by a great railroad by the expenditure of
comparatively little money because each
legislator had a railroad pass. A con-
tract in an Eastern city that robbed the
people of $150000 was put through by
the payment to an aiderman of a pitiful
$3OO. Every reader who has followed the
history of graft investigations in various
states for a number of years can supply
scores of similar instances. The aston-
ishing thing is not that men could be
bought but that they could be bought
so cheap.
Another disheartening thing is that the
men who have votes to sell are very likely
to be men who do not especially need the
money; that is to say they are not tempt-
ed because of the pinch of financial em-
barrassment. The answer is that they
regard a public office as an opportunity
for private gain. In most cases this men-
tal attitude is due to their environment
and associations. They have affiliated
with politicians of that sort in minor posi-
tions. They have come to believe that
men take office to get graft—that the ac-
ceptance of money for votes is a perqui-
site of the game of politics—that "getting
theirs” is “legitimate.”
Of course the public always pays the
bribe but it is no more than fair to the'
grafting politician of the big cities to say
that probably he does not understand or
appreciate that. The ward politician is
not much of a student of economics.
When he gives a turkey dinner to his
constituents at Christmas it is quite likely
that he does not realize they themselves
have paid for it any more than they do.
The American people run their national
and state governments quite well but they
have not yet learned how to conduct their
municipalities. Nor is there any recipe
that will immediately cure the condition
because it is always true that a city gets
about as good government as a majority
of its people want and the solution must
lay in a better understanding of the re-
sponsibilities of government by the masses
of city dwellers. It is a cheering fact to
balance the disheartening ones that there
are less cities today that are corrupt and
contented than there were a few years
ago and that nearly all of them—even
New York—seem to be striving to do a
little better.
Should Court Investigation.
Representative Underwood's warning that
manufacturers who attempted to discredit the
new tariff law by reducing wages would be in-
vestigated by the Department of Commerce and
Labor has aroused anger in republican ranks as
an unwarranted piece of despotism. Senator
William Allen Smith of Michigan has dramatical-
ly declared that President Wilson and Secretary
Redfield are “forging irons for manufacturers of
the country who dare to protest against the Un-
derwood bill.” But the present storm will be
succeeded by calmer weather. Manufacturers
who can honestly demonstrate that the new
tariff gives them r.o alternative other than to re-
duce wages or go out of business should court
investigation rather than fear IL—Springfield
Republican.
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT
“Promise" said the woman cling-
ing to him. “that you will love me
always.”
“Why of course I will” said the
man as he kissed her.
“Did you hear that?” giggled the
sparrows in the shrubbery.
“I hear such a lot" said the beach
tree nodding her copper head dis-
dainfully. so that all her leaves shone
like brand new pennies in the sun-
shine.
“She's dressed in blue; the girl he
said that to last year wore white."
The geraniums craned their red
necks from the flower bed beneath
the dining room window.
“Women are such tools" grum-
bled the wind rushing past and
rudely tearing a handful of leaves
from the beech tree to send scur-
rying like frightened mice down the
garden path.
“The first sign of autumn" said
the girl as one fluttered like a stain
on to the lap of her blue gown. She
sighed. "It has been such a happy
summer I don’t like to think of it'
ever coming to an end.”
“All things come to an end” re-
turned the man seriously looking at
his watch.
“Except—except love.” she whis-
pered and raised radiant eyes to his.
He patted her cheek. "Oh that
of course” he agreed.
He rose frpm the rude bench on
which they were sitting.
“Lunch time Cora” he said brisk-
ly. “Come along I am starving.
"Surely it cannot be 1 o’clock”
she confessed shyly.
He laughed indulgently. What a
little fool she was but charmingly
pretty.
“Ah that's so like a woman.” he
told her; but man. my dear was not
meant to live on bread—and love—-
alone. There are times when a chop
appeals to him far more than a
kiss.”
"Now listen to me Cora” his voice
was cold and cutting as the winter
day. "There has got to be an end of
this. I simply won’t have you fol-
lowing me about waiting for me
outside my elub I never heard of
anything so ridiculous.”
"But you promised faithfully to
come last night" said a piteous voice
"and the time before too but it was
the same. Why you haven't been
near me for more than a week. What
am I to do?”
“Do?” he eyed her distastefully.
Heavens! how she .had changed. Her
nose was reddened at the tip by the
cold there were black circles under
her swollen eyes she had lost all
her pretty color and her skin looked
sallow framed in the cheap white
fur she had twisted round her throat.
And to think he had ever found her
pretty!
“Do?” he repeated. "Why wait
decently at home till I come of
course. No sensible woman ever runs
after a man. It’s about the one way
to make him run after her. Go home
and powder your nose for heaven’s
sake and make’yourself look pretty.
I 11 try and look in some time but
I’m very busy just now.”
Walter” she said and laid a
detaining hand upon his arm as he
strove to pass her. Her voice was a
prayer. “You will come won’t you’
Remember you’re all I have in the
uorld now. I’ve given up everything
for you.” A tear rolled down her
cheek under her spotted veil. "Every-
thing!”
He stared down at her in a kind
of weary disgust.
"That’s right make a scene in the
street” he told her contemptuous-
ly. "This is life my dear not stage
drama. Do you expect me to fall on
your neck In Piccadilly and say 'I
love you?' Oh. go home do and get
some sense into your head before I
come.”
He hailed a passing taxi crawling
like a big green beetle along the curb
in search of a fare.
"You will come?”
He heard the faint whisper
breathed out to him again from the
depth of the taxi as it drove off and
answered it from the depth of his
heart to the pavement: "Not if I
know it! Jove! What a fool I’ve
been” he added to himself as he
turned away. "I should have fin-
ished off that affair in the summer.
Second editions of the same love epi-
sode are always a mistake. I’ll write
to her tonight.”
• • •
“Will you always love me?" asked
the woman.
"Same old story” the sparrows
chuckled.
"But not the same girl” the ge-
raniums were craning red necks.
"Women are such fools;” the wind
popped round the corner suddenly.
"Now that last year’s girl—did I
ever tell you what happened to her?
He whispered importantly. There was
a great rustling of leaves.
"How disgusting!” The geraniums
turned their red faces primly to the
sky.
"You can’t believe all you hear”
said the beech trees languidly. .
From the El Paso Herald.
Federal aid for good roads Is every
way desirable and right. Both the
federal government and the state
governments should participate tn
the cost of road building and the
share should be proportioned to the
amount put up by the various coun-
ties the ability of the various coun-
ties to pay and the general relation
of wider public service to local serv-
ice.
The first federal money should be
spent on trunk Unes Interstate high-
ways connecting the most important
cities across the continent by diverse
routes at least three different trunks
across the continent and three or
tour north and soutn lines.
Government appropriations both
federal and state may properly be
spent on both construction and
maintenance though the principal
maintenance cost may well be left
to the communities served.

FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS
Can Sell Your Coat
From the Washington Poet.
Have you a goat? Not the kind a
person "gets” when you become pro-
voked but a real live nanny goat: It
you have one of the kind which will
eat anything from a tin can to a fair-
sized tree Uncle Sam will doubtless
buy it.
Down at Hprt Washington about
25 miles below Washington on the
Potomac river there Is a regular
epidemic of malaria among the en-
listed men and officers. The reason
is there are on the reservation a
great many stagnant pools that are
breeding places for malarie mos-
quitoes.
The medical oficers of the army
are unable to get rid of these pools
weeds and underbrush. As fast as
they are cut away they grow up
again. The war department has de-
cided that a herd of 20 goats turned
loose in the vicinity will keep the
land clear and give the medical offi-
cers a chance to pour oil on the
waters and kill the mosquitoes.
There is stii the question of how
the goats will be paid lor as there
is no regular appropriation for army
goats. They may have to be charged
to the account of fumigation army
equipment mounts or miscellaneous
expenditures. But the department in-
tends to have them by hook or crook.
A Virginia farmer who lives near
Fort Washington has warned the
army officers that he tried to clear
some land by turning a herd of An-
gora goats upon it and that they ate
poison vines and died. The war de-
partmeet hopes there are no pois-
onous vines around Fort Washing-
ton.
MONEY FOR WEDDING GIFTS.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The wedding present of money has
received the stamp of approval and
hereafter it will be perfectly proper
for any one desiring to get rid of the
burden of buying a wedding present
to send a check. A ‘few years ago no
one would have thought of giving a
sum of money to a bride but its
convenience and practicability was
at once manifest and it was permit-
ted when coming from a near rela-
tive. But it was not until a couple
of years ago that it received the nec-
essary hallmark of royal approval
to make it generally acceptable to
society.
The approval came from no less a
personage than Queen Alexandra
who sent to a friend a check for
$lOO. Her majesty probably did it
because she was deep in mourning
and could not do any personal shop-
ping and so to avoid sending a gift
that might be duplicated she for-
warded a check. Since then brides
and bridegrooms have had reason to
rejoice and at every big wedding
nowadays the item check figures
very frequently in lists of wedding
presents.

ALWAYS TAKE WIFIE’S ADVICE
At the Theaters
At the Plaza.
Residents of Texas are more or
less familiar with feats of the lariat
। by reason of the fact that this sec-
tion is still important as a "cow
country” but those who yesterday
witnessed the initial performances of
the Plaza Theater bill for the cur-
rent week had their eyes opened by
Will Rogers’ unique act. Rogers is
a plainsman and went through long
years of arduous schooling in ac-1
quiring his wonderful cunning in I
manipulation of the noosed rope.
That he learned the lesson well is
evidenced by the sure way in which
he puts the lariat through all sorts
of difficult evolutions. His work is
accompanied by a running mono-
logue which is full of highlights of
humor.
This is only one of the several
numbers of merit included in this
week's offering at the Plaza. Every-
thing taken into consideration the
bill is one of the best of the sea-
son. At least such was the verdict
of yesterday’s audiences every act
being given generous applause.
Vera Berlinger Is a violinist of
rare talent. She is announced as a
player "with a soul” and her re-
markable mastery of the "queen of
musical instruments” gives every
reason for belief that the claim is
not exaggerated. She is a player
who puts the stamp of personality
on her work and that personality is
a thing of surpassing sweetness. Miss
Berlinger does not attempt to cover
a wide range of the musical field
but what she plays is played very
well indeed.
The bill is opened by Pat and
Julie Lavolos slack wire perform-
ers. They are markedly better than
most of the artists in that line of
work doing "stunts” of such ticklish
nature while balanced in mid-air
| that the audience often feared for
their safety. But everything was
carried off in good style. The act
i closes with an exhibition of bicycle
riding on a swaying wire.
Gannon and Tracy do not belle
i their title of "those cheer-up girls”
' keeping their listeners well enter-
tained by their dancing singing and
work. In addition to be-
ing capable performers they are both
pretty and that adds materially to
the excellence of the piece.
As a vehicle for lots of fun Eddy
Howard and Bort Snow have a skit
called "Those Were Happy Days.” A
country boy meets his old school-
mate in front of a vaudeville house ।
in the city after a long separation
and they talk over old times. Their
exchange of ideas and the novel stuff |
worked in. makes the act a popular
on°.
Another pair of good dancers and
singers are seen in the persons of
.Toe Keno and Rosie Green. Miss
Green .manipulates her pedal ex-
tremities in an original way and Im-
mediately wins favor by her sprightly
grace. Her partner knows how to
dance also. They sing a number of
songs in pleasing fashion.
Motion pictures close the perform-
ance.
MAY 26 1913.
Observant Citizen
A very excited young lady called
up The Light the other day and
asked to speak to the Observant Citi-
zen. She said she had just been a
victim of a peculiar circumstance.
A man in an automobile had accused
her of throwing a bucket of water
on him from her office window. She
was both innocent and Ignorant of
the affair but was taken to the
| window and shown the marks of wa-
I ter still remaining on the awning be-
low proof positive that the water
had come from that particular win-
dow. It was very mystifying. Later
it was found that the water had
been dumped 'from a sagging awn-
ing by the janitor who had forgot-
ten to fold it up during the rain of
the day before.
She wanted the much offended
man to know of her innocence in
the affair but knew neither his
name nor address and thought that
perhaps the Observant Citizen could
aid her. The situation was humorous
and the “Ob Clt” wrote a story' about
it which appeared in his column the
following day Wednesday 21.
The day following its publication
the young lady again telephoned the
Observant Citizen. This time she was
in great spirits and fairly bubbled
over with mirth as she told him a
sequel to her former story. She had
just received a big box of flowers
and a note from an unknown “gen-
tleman.” The letter read:
"I am a daily reader of the ’Ob-
servant Citizen’ in The Light and
yesterday’s story tells me that I
.°hI e f i yOU an t pology ’ p lease accept
the flowers the joke is certainly on
me.
The Man in the Automobile.”
The Observant Citizen awaits with
expectancy the next chapter.
CAN IT BE POSSIBLE.
From the Detroit News.
i Among all the enemies Which con-
front man. there is not one so dan-
j gerous as himself. No other enemy
is at hand every moment of man's
I lifetime no other will Inflict upon
him such wanton Injury. As with
m«n so it is with nations. The war-
like foes who would meet us in bat-
tle array we need not fear to face
for in a contest of courage intelli-
gence skill and physical prowess we
are at least the equal of most peo-
ple.
But our greatest and most insid-
ious danger is at home. The men
who sell inferior armor plate to the
government that is his own who fills
flaws and blowholes with soft metal
tc cover the defects or w*ho would
palm off inferior powder shoddy
clothing imitation leather shoes and
condemned food for the use of the
nation's defenders is more a traitor
than the despised Benedict Arnold.
