jerks the plaster here and yonder. "This plaster will be here" he cries "un-
broken and unshreddea when you sing anthems in the skies if that's where you
are headed." How good to feel as on we strive in this bright world enhcanted
that what we do will be aKve when we are dead and planted! For this the poet
racks his brain (and not for coin or rubies) until he finds he's gone insane and
has to join the boobies. For this the painter plies his brush and spreads his
yellow other to find when comes life's twilight hush that Fame's an artful
joker. For this the singer sprains her throat and burns the midnight candle and

The Fall
EXPECTATION if not hope on the part of Republicans and Progressives to
break the Democratic majority in congress this fall has vanished. There
will be a few local changes here and there in both houses with probably
some slight reduction of the margin but the Democrats will retain control of
the legislative branch.
Chief factor in bringing about this result fs the European war. The Re-
publicans and Progressives had carefully planned a tariff campaign. The revenues
of the government were failing rapidly an enormous deficit stared the treasury
in the face and active competition from abroad stimulated by the Democratic
tariff policy had produced distress in many industries which was reflected in
railroad and financial circles
When
Bang came the war. The instant stoppage of almost all ocean carriage and
the shutting of European ports put a period to American imports of manufactures
from abroad Americans found themselves wholly dependent on American
products to take the place of Imported goods after the exhaustion 0 imported
stocks. Furthermore they saw an opportunity to invade foreign markets other
than European hitherto controled by Europe.
Result a momentary pause followed by marked stimulus in many lines of
business that had been hurt by the administration's tariff trust and financial
polities. Record breaking crops in all staples match short crops abroad and
await only the opening of ocean commerce for profitable outlet. New York closed
her stock exchange and the other cities followed suit so that Europe has been
-unable to dump her American securities over here in exchange for gold. The
United States has been able to keep her gold at home to protect all debtors and
creditors from sharp disturbance of financial arrangements and to meet every
commercial obligation upon the dot.
Cooperation by business men of all parties and by the opposition in con-
gress with the administration to adjust everything to the necessities of the war
crisis has resulted in safeguarding the country's general stability in a marvelous
wajt; and except for the news in the daily papers we in the United States would
never know that 1000000000 people are at war more than half the earth's sur-
face belligerent territory and 20000000 soldiers under arms.
So the tariff issue for the time being has gone glimmering; no fight can be
made about currency for the new system has had no trial; the president's excuse
for his treasury deficit will go by with many; extravagance is a line of talk that
hits back; persecution of business began under Republican administrations and
has been less active under the present administration than under the preceding
one. Altogether the European war has been a miraculous streak of luck for the
Wilson administration and will have the effect of consolidating administration
support and discouraging the opposition except where purely local considerations
may bring about changes.
The people will accept the new emergency direct tax as an "act of God" the
treasury will be filled again the war will be blamed for everything that goes bad
and the Wilson administration will swim on top of a puddle of attar of roses.

What Three Can Do
AT THE chamber of commerce meeting Friday an interesting discussion de-
veloped among real estate men in attendance upon the question of what
would be done with prospective settlers after they actually landed in
El Paso to look about. There did not seem to be any clear idea in the minds of
those present as to a feasible selling plan. It is no secret that there is not
much cooperation among local real estate men. Sometimes a man with money
is allowed to get away because of lack of cooperation among the agents even
though the prospect may have come here with the intention of investing.
Cooperative effort is the secret of success in this world. It used to be said
that competition is the life of trade. That maxim is subject to vital qualifica-
tions nowadays since very often it proves that competition of an all too common
tort is the death of trade and the death of prosperity. Cut-throat competition
never helped trade and never helped any community. Cooperation is the word
in modern progressive communities.
Any student of philosophy the philosophy of history let us say knows
that the greatest wonder in this world is the power of the human mind. The
power of the mind is invincible. Along with that fact goes the power of the
active interested closely knit minority to sway the majority. All great move-
ments are started and driven through by a few. But it all comes back to the
power of mind to accomplish the purposes of the will.
The local situation in valley development and in all other lines is just
what we choose to make it- El Paso is at the verge of a period of great change.
We have the opportunity to make a great and strong city of this if we wilL
But the first need is the active cooperation of all the elements capable of as-
suming leadership. .
In the American magarine we find a little poem by Mary Davies entitled
"What Three Can Do" which makes good Sunday reading for anybody and-
which is especially recommended just at this moment to the El Paso real estate
men soon to meet to devise a plan of cooperative selling effort as applied to
ralley lands:
Three men. together riding can win new worlds at their will-
Resolute ne'er dividing lead and be victors still.
Three can laugh and doom a Uing; three can make the planets sing.
Three when the whim shall take them can gleefully fight and win:
Touch Heaven's doors and shake them loose them and look within.
Bkree can laugh Hell from the code as they jest along the road.
Three with a loyal daring can steal new fire from the dawn.
Ere. In their happy faring they've loitered and galloped on.
Three can level gods to men. three can build new gods again.

Villa Carranza and all the other leaders in Mexico would enthusiastically
welcome the peaceful invasion of a party of 100 El Pasoans on a "Get Acquainted"
excursion through the republic in a special train. It would be a great way to
demonstrate the return of tranquility to Mexico and to emphasize the welcome
to Americans to return and take up the threads of industry and trade that have
been sadly tangled in the recent past

to all the people to stay on the job in
Washington. And he is on the job.

With Europe undergoing the most
terrific war of history where property
and wealth Is belnr daily consumed
and destroyed that runs into figures
too great for the ordinary mind to
grasp and understand remembering
that Europe usually buys so much of
the products of this country all of
us have known that our commerce and
our markets must necessarily be af-
fected. What other president ever had just
such a condition to facer And by his
even poise how well he has enlisted
the necessary confidence of the Amer-
ican people!
With his wisdom and fidelity with
the common sense and sound remedies
being applied through his wonderfolfr
equipped secretary of the treasury and
by the patriotism of a united people
our great country has bested the storm
and is calmly adjusting itself to new
conditions.
And what a lofty position he has
taken for our country in its diplomatic
relation to tho warring forces of
Kurope!

To Love and Run Away Is Sometimes Wise
The an Who Is in No Position to Marry Does Only an Act of Justice to
Extinguish the First Flare Up of Fancy.
By DOROTHY DIX.
ATOUNG man who is just start-
ing his career and who must
succeed or fail according as he
plays the game of life wisely or fool-
ishly has met a charming young wom-
an to whom be Is Much attracted. He
knows that he will fall head over heeU
in love with this girl if he was thrown
much in her society and he asks my
advice as to the desirability of follow-
ing up the acquaintance.
The young man is poor. lie Is in no
position to marry. It will be years be-
fore he should think of such & thing
as taking a wife and such being the
case he should avoid the temptation
of falling in love just as assiduously as
he should the chances of catching the
smallpox.
Once upon a time at a college com-
mencement In a small town. I met a
youth whom I knew sitting out la the
moonlight alone while all of his com-
panions were dancing at the farewell
hop I asked him why he sought soli-
tude and he replied:
"Oh rm sitting out here to keep
from making a fool of myself because
there's a girl In there that I know I'd
propose to If r went in Ton see. Tra

gaged man if I took another look In

"Now I figure It out that with luck.
It'll be 1 years before Til be in any fix
to marry and ifs never seemed to me
a square thing for a man to ask a wom-
an to sit on the anxious seat that long.
Besides in 10 years she will change
and ril change and we may not want
each other Anyway. I'm wise that the
man who's got to run the race I have
doesn't travel the faster for having the
millstone of an engagement hanging
around his neck so behold me. Saint
Anthony resisting temptation."
"Good boy." I applauded "he who
loves and runs away will live to love
another day."
Love is like a fire. It Is easy to
stamp out. but hard to put out when it
has reached the state of a. conflagra-
tion. Therefore the man who Is Bi
no position to marry does only an act
of justice to himself and to the girl
when he puts the extinguisher on the
little flare up of fancy that shows him
how easily the fire of love could sweep
his heart.
Of course it takes courage to turn
one's back upon a eharmlng woman
and to keep one's footsteps from tak-
ing one Into the presence of the woman
who draws one with a thousand sub-
tle fascinations but absence Is the
price of safety. Somehow love words
say themselves In the presence of the
beloved one. The man who never In-
tended to pop the question finds him-
self on his knees beseeching the girl to
marry him. and he who had sworn nev

The Trapeze
nr Florence
THERE was one thing that Tommy
Tabby had learned early and
which he taught Teddy as soon
as he came to live at the Tabby house.
This was that It never paid to boast.
Teddy was apt to boast a little at first
but Tom cured him of It and not long
after he saw the silliness of it himself
Mrs. Tabby's two kitty boys always
started ever thing first: indeed they
seemed to think of something new for
every day in the week.
They kad no sooner sent the whole
of boy and girl Tab by land off to fish
where there were no more fish than
they had to get to work to find some-
thing else with which to play and
amuse themselves.

that she had to take her glasses to sec
which was which she sighed deepU
"After that trapese again are you1
she said as she hurried to and fro.
"Well. I might as well give In to you.
But. mind now. no joking and silliness
about this with me young men " She
spoke kindly but her eyes were stern
and the kitty boys knew that she
meant what she said. 1
"No boasting and bragging and try- J
lng to do what you cannot do before
put it up. you must promise me to keep
it a secret for a week or. until you
have learned to take care of your-
selves on it Then you may Invite the
boys in. But no showing off. I never
could tell which of you made the
trouble."
Ted and Tom promised and started
at once to make the trapeze. They
whittled and worked and fastened it
up in the end of the yard under the
trees and practiced. Thev were faith-
ful to their promise although It was a
great temptation to call the other pup-
py beys and kitty girls to sea tftera.
Finally after two or three days they
called Mrs. Tabby and she stood by
while they played upon the wooden
bar They skinned cats and walked on
their hands and hung by their feet and
showed themselves so accomplished
that Mrs. Tabbv kissed them DotR wnen
