rlble, daubed, burlesque on art which the Express wraps
itself In on Sunday and which misleads purchaser* into
the belief that they are buying a bunch of art work and
comic supplements. The Express Is, of course, entitled
to its opinion, so are those papers who use the comic
supplements.
A great Redo was made because Senator 8tone of
Missouri resented the Impudence of a negro Pullman
porter by slapping him, and now some folks awe mightily
exerciser because Congressman Heflin fought a chauffeur
who had attacked him after nearly running him down.
What law, moral or statute, Is there that prevents a mem-
ber of congress from resenting insuit or defending hlra-
Holf?
The Jacksonville, Fla., Times-fnion say*: "El Paso
Tex., may be In Mexico, as the Mexicans suspect. Well,
we won’t have a war over that boundary line, that's one
thing certain. That is, until Diaz shakes bands with Mr.
Taft.”
A Georgia paper declare* that Atlanta Is getting to l»
the greatest mule market In the work!. We are not sur-
prised to learn this. If we are to Judge by the number

As If the one we are all travelling was not hard
enough, the Jacksonville Times-I'nlon is calling vigorous-
ly for “more hard roads.” There is no reason to get
scared, however, since that is the way the Florida paper
designates good roads.
St. I»uls makes no bones about declaring that she is
going to make her centennial the biggest fly tlnro ever
heard of.
Now It, Is proposed to kill two pests with one effort.
The mosquito and the fly are to be turned loose on each
other.
The Police and the Undesirables.
The chief of police claims that activities In the war
against the undesirables In El Paso have not ceased and
that It is being quietly pushed, the lack of visible results
being due to the fact that the "town is now clean."
The chief falls into the common- and unfortunate error
of regarding criticism of his department and of his offi-
cial acts ns being evidence of unfriendliness and enmity
to himself personally.
So far as The Times is concerned he is mistaken, for
all connected with this publication hold him In high es-
teem und entertain a warm friendship for him personally.
We would be slow to take advantage of these columns to
he revenged upon an enemy. They are not the vehicle for
personal abuse, nor are they to be used to boost or to
pull down anybody.
The facts are that the warfare which wan loudly and
frequently proclaimed against certain loathsome charae-
lers, and certain thieves and confidence men who were
alleged to be preying upon El Paso people and others
and corrupting the morals of the city and besmirching its
fair name. was either justified by the presence here
of the undesirables described, or it was not. If they were
here It. was clearly the duty of the police department,
fully armed as it is with the iaw, to open war upon
them and wage it relentlessly until not one was loft.
While some questioned the taste and the wisdom of the
numerous declarations of war that preceded the opening
of hostilities, everybody with the good ot El Paso at
heart commended the chief for his determination and
applauded hiui.
After much noise and many preparations, activities
began only to end In disappointment for the people.
The iioliee records show that from June 7 to July ill,
Inclusive, 152 persons were arrested and charged with
vagrancy. Of these 74 were fined In the police court—
one being fined 1200 —and (19 were dismissed, the others
being delivered to Immigration officers for deportation
or transferred to the county court. These eases Included
negroes and Mexicans who, when arrested for fighting
or drunkenness or other offences and found to he with-
out visible means of support, were charged with vag
rancy. *
It was understood that the efforts of the police de-
partment were to be directed primarily to cleaning the
city of the beasts supported by the fallen women, the
confidence men, the badger game workers and of Im-
moral women who piled their trade In the residence
sections and outside 'he restricted district.
Four facts in connection with the so-called crusade
occurred which led to much speculation and finally to
criticism, to wit: (1) Not exceeding half a dozen ar-
rests were made of the characters at whom It was under-
stood that the batteries) of the law were directed;
(2) a zealous officer who was pushing the war Into Africa
and going after the macquereanx In earnest, was trans-
ferred to another best; (3) activities, or at least the
noise ceased after one house on the north side was
raided and one woman arrested, and (4) although It
was given out that there were a number of other room-
ing houses In the residence section that were declared
by the police authorities to be assignation houses and
■were to be "pulled," nothing further toward that end
was done.
It Is not for what the chief of police did in pur-
suance of his announced and laudable purpose to
clean the town of immoral leeches, sneak thieves and con-
fidence men. that he Is criticised, hut for what he left un
done.
The Times does not question the truthfulness and sin-
cerity of the chief’s declaration that he believes the town
to be clean and free from those characters, because we do
not doubt that he believe* every word he says to be tree,
hut The Times Is Informed that practically every one of
those undesirables who It was proposed to banish Is now
In the city plying their old trades and that the number
has been largely Increased by recruits made up of exiles
from other erlies.
And The Times also believes that the authorities
should renew the war and prosecute It vigorously and re-
lentlessly until evpry one of them Is driven out and not
allowed under any circumstances or at any time to re-
turn.
The chief’s action in forming an alliance with the Jua-
rez chief is both wise and commendable and If the two
•work zealously together and the war on undesirables is
renewed and pushed, it would he but a short time until
both towns would he free from this reproach upon their
citizens.
And The Times shall hope that the chief of police will
regard It as a duty that he owes to himself and the peo-
ple of El Paso to open tile war again with renewed vigor
and prosecute It to the end without fear or favor and
without regard to its effect upon his own private or poli-
tical interests.
"Look out for good times,” says a North Carolina pa-
per. That, Is what the El Paso people do every morning
and they howl if the carrier is late.
The only man who has raised a howl about the
new tariff on yachts Is Park Pittman. Since the snow
water has passed down the river ami the new tariff has
gone Into effect he has decided to swap his yacht for a
flying machine for a series of joy rides around over
town
a recent auto trip Into the country, I saw this sign:
IxV TAmos please go slowly.
School house 300 yards distant."
And in the 15 or 2b minutes that I insisted on waiting beside the sign
to rind out lbs effect not an ante disregarded it
There was no threat of a fine, no definite speed limit, simply the rfe-
W quest and the reason set forth in such clear, largo
letters that no one could miss it.
What better thing could any Woman’s Club do
for its town or city than to safeguard all the play-
grounds and school houses by setting up such signs?

"Here’s what my last pair of shoes cost me," said
ojie of my young friends, holding up two ten dollar
bills.
• “What?" I gasped.
“Oh," she explained, “I didn’t pay -it to the
shoemaker, but to the doctor.
"J tried to wear a pair of shoes that didn't fit,
and 1 ended with an inflamed foot that it took a
specialist to straighten out.”
Another woman whom I knew tried to wear a
pair of shoes that were too short for her and threw
her joint out. That was ten years ago. None of
the treatment she tried did her any good. She will go through life with a
misshapen foot.
The most economical thing to do with a pair of misfit shoes is ,to give
them to some charity that will probably toe able to find the feet to fit them.

Does your dressmaker by-the-day come from some distance?
If sho does, of'course, you remember that an early arrival means a
very early breakfast, and do not let her fast until her noonday meal.
But some people, you know, are queer.
When mother took the customary crackers and glass of milk to our
new seamstress she looked up gratefully.
"It isn’t everybody that does that,” she said.
W< expressed our astonishment.
“There’s one place tn this town that 1 go," she said, “where they have
dinner at Two. They want me to get there by half-past seven and it takes
an hour, so that means a six o’clock breakfast. I go there about once a week
and they never yet have offered me a bite of lunch. It Isn’t because they
aren’t in the habit of eating between meals, for they usually disappear about
o’clock, and oftentimes they come up chewing. My, It Just makes me
faint sometimes. Sister says she'd take something along and eat It, but some-
how I just can’t bear to do that.”
The woman of whom she spoke Is a woman well known in this vicinity.
If it would not hurt the little dressmaker 1 would take pleasure in-putting
her name In the column.
It would astonish many people who admire her for her activity in
charitable affairs.
1 wonder If she would “come up chewing” again.
I Mesilla Valley Peaches
The best peaches that come into El Paso are
those from the Mesilla Valley. Better try
some! You ought to eat)lots of fresh fruit
this kind of weather. And who ever heard
of anything better than peaches and cream.
Um!
How about a Valley-grown Water-
melon, ice cold and sweet as sugar?

Connecticut having ruled that baseball Is "a work of

and this Is one of the cutest in the lot.

Horace White.
Horace While, noted as sp editor
and as an authority on finance, was
born In Cole brook, N. H., August 10,
1834. in his youth lie removed with
his family to Wisconsin and Ills edu-
cation was received at Beloit college.
He began journalism in Chicago in
1854. When llie Kansas war broke
out two years later lie was appointed
assistant secretary to the National
Kansas committee, whose headquar-
ters were in Chicago, in 1858 he ac-
companied Abraham Lincoln in his po-
litical campaign against Stephen A.
Douglas for the office of United States
senator, and the notable features of
this campaign were given to the pub-
lic chiefly through Mr. White's letters
to the Chicago press. After a term
as a Washington correspondent dur-
ing the Civil war period he became
part owner and chief editor of the
Chicago Tribune, with which paper he
remained until 1874, when be removed
to New York. In the latter city he
became associated with Henry Villard
in western railroad enterprises and In
1861, when Mr. Villard assumed own-
ership of the Now York Evening Post,
Mr. White was made chief edttor. He
remained in this position until 1903,
when he retired front active business.

Telephone Manners.
The question of telephone manners
and telephone etiquette which has
been ruined by discussion in a con-
temporary is surprising, because it
seems to show that even business [am-
ple admit there is such a thing as
telephone manners, .though they ap-
pear to think the code is exhausted
when the man at the other end of
the wire has waited their con-
venience. Unfortunately, tho tele-
phone manners that exist are only a
relic of the past, and the habitual
telephower gradually discards small
Courtesies. The conversation that be-
gins with the ring of a bell by one
party and a Bharp "Hullo" by the
other is necessarily stripped of dig-
nity. while the fact that if the speak-
ers are strangers they wfll never
recognize one another tends to a loss
ot self-respect. Only the Innately
courteous observe telephone manners:
the rest of the world lapses into
something like primitive eavageness
when it uses the latest resource of
civilization.—Court Journal.
