BRANCH CITY OFFICE, 303 NORTH OREGON ST.
No, Pauline, a woman is no: necessarily on the war-
path when She paints her face. Nevertheless It is pru-
dent sometimes for the children to seek safety under the
bed.
If the Kl Paso ball players were guilty of anything
approaching the bad manners and temper exhibited by
the Douglas and Blsbee papers in commenting on Satur-
day’s game, they must, indeed, have cut a sorry figure.
The Times congratulates the Kl Paso Herald on the
attainment of its twenty-eighth year of publication which
it celebrated by an extra edition prfousely illustrated
with interior and exterior views of its new building.
The success of a newspaper is the finest evidence that
can be produced of the progressiveness and enterprise
of its home town.
Another Fanatic Heard From.
The latest zealot to make an exhibition of himself
appeals to be Uev. Dr. 9am R Hay. presiding elder of
the Fort Worth district, who is quoted as saying In a
recent sermon that “the most corrupt thing on the
American continent today is the dally press.” and, grow-
ing more reckless, cutting loose from dignity and
decency and truth, he further declared: "Every dally
paper in the great state of Texas is a rabid liquor
organ."
Commenting on these wild assertions and showing
the baselessness of the serious accusations the speaker
made against the press, the Dallas Tlmos-Herald chat
lenges him to produce the evidence for his assertion.
"Muke good nr make amends," demands the Tlmes-
Herald.
It, is a safe bet that Dr. Hay wilt do neither; first
because he has no evidence to sustain his charges;
second, because his charges are untrue and, third,
because men of his fanatical bent are not, given to mak-
ing amends.
If earnest efforts in behalf of law and order and good
morals and opposition to the chimerical schemes and
hysterical efforts of fanatics and Pharisees who would
establish a prohibition hot bed for lawlessness and crime
— if opposition to these makes a newspaper a "rabid
liquor organ” then The Times must plead guilty,
It would appear, though, that Dr Hay strayed from
the paths trodden by the Nazareno and from the rules
of conduct which He prescribed for Ills followers, to
make an outrageous, untruthful and unprovoked assault,
upon the greatest agencies for progress and enlighten
meat, and upon the sincere advocates of law and order
of this day and generation - the daily newspapers.
The Times Joins Ita contemporary In inviting the
reverend denouncer of the press lo "make good or make
amends” although we are very well aware of the fact
that he cannot do the one and will not do the oilier.
Harriman’s National Importance.
The fluctuations of the great New York stock market
caused by favorable and unfavorable reports as to the
condition of the health of K. H. llarrltnan nttost iih noth
Ing elan could possibly do bis immense Importance to
this country. The testimony of the stack market Is alt
the more valuable because it is absolutely without senti-
ment and deals with it as a concrete fact.
In the same judicial way, it is not extravagant to nay
that there is no other individual in America today that
approaches him in the matter of individual importance
to the Industrial interests and the development work of
this country.
With marvelous genius for organization and financier-
ing he has Accomplished wonders, although not yet an
old man, and he Is planning still more gigantic projects
In spite of falling health, To him more than to any
other human being are the west and the southwest
indebted for their development and rapid growth lit
wealth and population, The railroads whlolt he organ-
ized and built, making it possible for this section to
grow, will ever stand as monuments to his genuls and
to his matchless business capacity.
'Willie his death would be a tremendous loss to the
country, on no other section would it fall so heavily as
upon this. But we may rest assured that In alt his
plana and calculations the factor of his death and its
effect upon his mammoth enterprises were taken Into
consideration by him and he has surrounded himself |
with men capable of taking up and carrying on tho work j
he has planned when for any reason lie decides or it I
becomes necessary for him to lay it down.
The Times shall still hope for Mr Harrlriian'a restora-
tion to health and for renewed strength to enable him
to carry out his gigantic enterprises which mean much
for the whole country and are of especial Importance to
this section and northern Mexico.
The El Paso Herald In declaring that it had “five news
services,’* neglected to brag about the possession of a
news factory of Its own that grinds out more fake news
for buncoing the public than all the other fake factories
In tho country.
TEXAS COMMENT.
EWARE of the person who takes everything literally.
I sometimes wonder if it would not be a good thing if those people
who arc afflicted with a tendency to take everything they hear in deadly,
unm.ligated earnest could have a placard about their persons saying something
like this -
"Do not indulge in any metaphor, irony, intentional exaggeration or non-
sense of any kind in my presence as I should greatly misinterpret any such
deviation from the path of literal truth.''
All of us have some people of this type among our
acquaintance; most of us have been amused by their
misinterpretations, and some of us have been unlucky
enough to have suffered trow them.
When I was a senior in college one of the fresh-
man girls came to me round-eyed and confided;
"What do you think? Genevieve actually slapped
Ruth's face.”
Ruth and Genevieve were, both juniors and girls
of considerable dignity while the liitle freshman was
of the take-thingsabsolutely-literally type, so 1 felt
sale in telling the freshman that 1 knew she was mis-
taken.
YNo, I'm not,” she answered warmly. "Ruth told
m<- so herself and she feels awfully.”
Exactly what did she say?” I asked.”
Tho freshman pondered a minute.
"She said- she said—Ob, I know exactly, she sajd ‘When Genevive
told me she coudii't conns, home with me this vacation she gave me a perfect
ulap one the face.'”
And it took Ruth’s own assurance that $he had used a metaphor and that
no K»('h dread thing had actually happened, to get that)freshman to give up
her literal rendering.
In one of Charles Lamb's most amusing essays is a little passage which
proves that the type existed much then as now.
J was present not long since," says he, "at a party where a son of Burns
was expected; and happened to drop a silly expression (In my South British
way), that 1 wished It were the father instead of the son—when four of them
started uii at once to Inform me ‘that was impossible, because he was dead.’ ”
The tedlousness of these people,” goes on this most gentle of philos-
ophers, with surprising warmth, "is certainly provoking. I wonder if they ever
tire one another?"
1 wonder.

Three Times Each Day,—
Seven Days Each Week
Hiving good tilings to cat three times a day and every
day in the week, is largely a matter of buying your
lruits, vegetables and groceries at Jackson’s.
We receive each morning fresh shipments of all the
fruits and vegetables that fields and orchards, both
near and far, can supply. We carry nothing over
from one day to the next—what you buy here this
morning was fresh this morning.
As to groceries, we keep them protected from the
dust and dirt and our clerks have strict orders not
to send out anything that looks even uninviting.
You see now why “good things” come from Jackson’s

Diaz and His Work for Mexico.
The Florida Times-Cnion comments rather caustically
upon the action of President Diaz, In asking the Mexican
congress to grant permission for him to cross the bor-
der, because, it alleges, be has often before defied the taws
of his country—notably in the matter of his continued
Incumbency of the presidency, and accuses him of selfish
ambition.
Our contemporary is laboring under misapprehension
and misinformation.
The autonomy of Mexico today is a monument to the
far-sightedness of Diaz; to his wisdom and statesman
ship and to the further fact that Jie disregarded what
ever of law or sentiment there was that might have
retired him at the end of his second term and consented
to remain at the head of his government
For Diaz to have retired would have been to invito
revolution and disorder, and even yet the work of
educating his people up to capacity for self-government
falls so far short of completion, that, a change of rules
would In all probability result In serious armed con-
flicts between the followers of rival aspirants to the suc-
cession and to serious Impairment If not destruction of

PLAN FOR CONVENTION HALL.
Editor Kl Puho Morning Timea.
AhI have been a reader of The Times
for the T>a»t tweniy years, I know tliat
| your paper is always Interested In the
progress of El Paso, and therefoif I take
the liberty of addressing tills letter to
yofi, suggesting a plan by which an ap-
propriate convention thall may be erect-
14J.w. , , ... , ed in this city. At the recent meeting
»S.d> Buffalo and Niagara railroad pcld at the court house for the purpose
of organizing, in order t<» properly enter-
tain Presidents Taft and Dias, a rep re*
sensitive gathering of our best citizens,
led by our distinguished mayor, joined in
the common purpose - and sentiment of
pulling for El Paso. At no time during
my residence of twenty years, have 1
ever seen a finer ,«J rlt of wholesome,
popular patriotism tlmn was evidenced
at this mass meeting, and following- it
our people are. more united than ever
before for public purposes.
However, in spite of the fact tlmt our
people are aiding shoulder to shoulder,
for the common cause, we find ourselves
without an adequate convention hall in
which the ceremonies may be held upon
the meeting of tho two presidents. This
onasion furnishes the time when our peo-
ple should gather their dollars together
in order to supply this pressing need.
Thereloro, I respectfully suggest the fol-
lowing plan:
Our honorable mayor, .1. I\ gweency,
has appointed a large reception commit-
tee for that occasion. This committee
not only contains many of our best < iti
Kens, hut evidences the broad-minded
ness and'impartiality of the best mayor
that El Paso evtfr had, in honoring all
alike, those who hftve heretofore opposed,
as well as those who have supported him.
Every one of them can afford, and I be-
lieve will, contribute the sum of $50 to
ward a fund with which to buy a she for
a convention hall, located somewhere
upon I he street car line, to be in reach
of the rich and poor alike. Then this
fund could be supplemented by enough
money lo buy the necessary lumber, etc.,
lo make' an open-a*r gathering place for
I he large crowds tha t will welcome the
presidents. This lumber and material
could be afterwards used in the construe
tion of a permanent building. On that
occasion the convention hall could bo in-
augurated and beginning with that time
all patriotic adults and children in our
city would gladly, from time to time,,
contribute their share toward the Taft-
Diaz convention ball.
Now is the time. Let the people show
the same spirit that the mayor has de-
monstrated, and let the work be start
ed this fall, of erecting a convention hall
that will be ari honor lo every one that
contributes to it for years to come.
You**s truly,
