SUNDAY JANUARY 1C 1910.
YICTORIANO HUERTA.
With a reputation stained by the
blood of throe of Mexico's best man ;
with a character unknown even to his.
closest friends . Victoriano Huerta
died In El Paso Thursday- night. A
few hours prior to .hfe
indicted by the United
death he was
' States srand;
jury on charges of conspiracy to pro
mote a rebellion a gai nkt . Mexico tiio
land of his birth..
The most serious eh
arse nrought
aeafnst Huerta was thnt he murdered
Francisco Madero dep
dsed president
of Mexico; his brother and Vice
President Suarez. Huerta vigorously
denled this charge. In a long state-
ment given out shortly after his re1-
turn to American from Spain he at
tempted to show his innocence of the.
dastardly assassination of the Ma- (
deros and Suarez. On his deathbed;
he refused to admit anything and
among his last words were: "I for
give all my enemas." -'
Was Huerta a
fiend a monster
without heart or conscience? ur was
Huerta what he prettended to be
-
and what his friends believed him to
be-a otriotic Mexican whose ambl-
tion was to establish a permanent
government in 'Mexico? His was the
reputation of a professional murder-;
er; his character waslknown only to
himself and to God. . i-f guilty of the
murder of Francisco Madero no death
could have been . too. torturous for
him; if not Madero!s murderer he
still was under charge of treason to
nis native land and conspiracy against
a nation which had shown every con-
sideration in its treatment of him. .
Huerta lived his li?e in his own
way. He was born la soldier he
fmicht all his life: probably his great-
" j ; . ;
r?st . dlsanno ntment was that he dleu
in bed of a very ordinary malady in-
stead of booted and (spurred and at
the . head of a ragged jarmy.
Huerta is dead. Had he lived the
United States government would have
given him justice in ' at least one of
:the many charges against him. His
death ends prosecution of thc man;
Hend though he may havo been let
us be charitable and forget him. . .

Somebody who makes a specialty of
statistics has figured that many hours
each day are wasted by people who
Insist on saying "Please." But in

the most important word in the vo-

is not the cause of an even greater
"waste" of time.
The Baptists of Texas have launch-
ed a campaign to raise a quarter of

cause could be fostered by any or-

Baptists will not overlook the fact
that their local institution would be
enabled to do a much greater work if
a liberal portion of the quarter million
were deposited to its credit to provide
needed improvements and enlarge-

Claude Calian of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram comments as follows
upon "friendly advice":
"A former reader of this helpful
column writes us from Brownwood
and tells us In a kind manner that we
should go 'Back to Menard.' His kind-
ness is the thing that hurts us. If
he had become offended at something
we would thing nothing of it. If he
had angrily referred to us as a blocK-
head we would feel that he might
be a hot-headed fellow who allowed
l his temper to get the best of him. But
he seems to like us as a man. He
calls us to one side as it were and
tellB us things that are not flattering.
He Is a 'friendly critic' and if there is
anything in the world we dislike more
than all other things it is friendly!1
criticism. We have a keen appetite
for flattery and don't mind being
cussed .but when a good friend tells
us that there Is nothing to us ourj
pride withers like a blasted rose. Ev-
en as we write this we feel as we
did. years ago on those occasions when
another boy carried our girl to a par-
ty At such time we tried to appear
cheerful but our smiles were only
skin deep and in our heart King
Misery sat upon the throne. When
they were playing 'snap' we watched
her closely as she looked about for
the other boy and when she found
him .the snap of her dainty fingers
was like bagger in jour brisket We
spent the whole evening getting In
places where she could see us and
when We thought she was looking we
posed. Sometimes we tried to ap-
pear beautiful hoping to win her
with our loveliness; and at other
times we posed as a reckless youth
who loved danger in its every form.
When the party broke we saw our
' rival help her on with her pretty red
cloak .and it seemed tnat tne demon
.was necessary. We saw them leave.
! and We wished that her mother was
t thorn- in coo hmv slow t-hov wprc wnlk-
tag. Then we went home and al
though the hour was late we sat uj

and wrote sad poems. No human be-
Inir could Picture our misery. '. We felt

regarded as a fortune around this

Newspapers are discussing tha ques
tion "What are you going to do with
the extra day this year?" the question
arising from the fact that there are
twenty-nine days in February. One
organization suggests that February
20 be set aside as a national prosper
day- another organization wants
to celebrate It as a pay-up day; anoth
er wants the nation to pray for pease
on that day another would devote it
to a general clean-up campaign.

There ere many good uses to which
the day might be put. But many of
us will use it as we use the other days
of the year in idleness gossip wor-

in the time killing rats or working

That Brownwood man who. accumu-
lated $300 through the sale of peanuts
and popcorn should be. congratulated
and complimented- upon his thrifff-
noss. He was on the right track an i i
had the beginnings of a tidy little for-
tune. But he got robbed. Why did
he not- keop his money in a bank?
Every day he drove his storehouse

The Parson has been re-reading the
Life of Huxley the protagonist of the
early evolutionists. He recommends it
to all especially to those who think
that these same early evolutionists
were tricksters or fools. There never
was a man more true to his convic-
tions than T. H. Huxley or who per-
iled more for . them. Read his life;
It is well written and "Interesting as

copying. "Let no man say that death
is a trivial matter.' to be lightly
treated by the phllosphical. It is a
sacred mystery and he who has seen
it. has seen the gods at their work

That seems to the Parson much more
worthy than the much quoted saying
of the playwright who died on fie
Lusltanla "Death Is a beautiful ad-

mind doubtless because he Ms not

average person will say: 'Why not?'
Yet Christ did not take a mortgage.
In fact His record Is He got after the
mortgage takers with a sharp stick.
It is an open question or rather it
is a good subject for a sermon: Should
;a preacher take a mortgage: is It
good gospel when his name appears
in a forecldsure proceedings? If
there is anyhnan on earth who ought
to show that he has an abiding faith
ln the credit of mankind it Is th
sky-pilot who blazes the trail of reli-
gious duty and gospel unity."
The Parson is not going to say anyr
thing about a pilot blazing a traib
The first question that occurred to
hitn of course related to none of his
; business. vho was that preacher
; who had occasion for mortgage forms?
The purchase of mortgage forms in
dicates money to lend. Where Is the
preacher who had money to lend?
The Parson does not wish the
Picion rest on one G. W. Fender the
treasurer of the Organized Charities.
But if he thinks' he is going to get
Jaway with It let him beware: the
! Parson is on the trail he has blazed
i by the purchase of these forms.
But the question has a serious sldo
to it It goes to the very root of some
commericial social and religious
questions. The Parson has about used
up his space and will leave the furth-
er consideration of this query for an-sj.
other time. He will only suggest an-
other question: Should a preacher
be required to give security If he bor-
rows money? The Parson is much
more interested in this than the first
question for he never had any mon-
ey to lend and there have been times
when he would have been s!ad to"
borrow. But In this matter "Y."hat 13
sauce for the goose is sauce for tha
gander" and if the skv-pilot cannot
borrow without security there s no
reason why he should lend w: hout
security.
