The Taxpayers' League.

thin Hfterrionn nt 4 o'clock for the iiurpone of perfecting
orBtilBllon of h TuxpayerB' leaKUf la one that ahould
in' attended 1y every property owner who can ponalhly
.11 to do) an. It la the ftlm of thoae behind the
movement to keep the orarnnlzatlon abaolUtel free from
politics and to jrlve lta membera an unbiased source of
Information on all miittt-ra affectlnK the expenditure of
public money and the conduct of ruvernmental affairs.
The proposed ni'KHnlstBtlon Is to be supported by the
voluntary contributions of Itn memberB. and when or-
Kanlzed It will constitute an open. forum Tor the discus-
sion' of taxation and administrative policies. It Is not
the purpose of the organization to criticize but to an-
alyze. It does not propose to tear down and destroy old
methods aave when It hHa new and better ones to suk-
Rest. Without attributing" anything- but the mom worthy
motives to public officers who have aerved El faso
county In the past and criticizing nothing but the gyz-
tem under whlcv they worked it will be admitted that
I looaenoss and extravagance In the expenditure of public
money and waste and . Inefficiency In the conduct of
public business have been the rule rather than the ex-
ception. Thin condition exists or has existed not only
In Kl Paso county but ' In almost every other county in
the stute and in other atatea.
The organization of taxpayers' associations here and
elsewhere la an evidence of a desire upon the part of
the people for better things. The rnin who foots tho
bills has at Inst awakened tn a realization that he la not
getting value received for the money he turna In at the
tax collector's window. The organization la likewise an
evidence of the desire upon the part of the public to
find out what Is wrong with the old system and what
must be done to right Ihe wrong and place public busi-
ness and public finances upon the same common sense
foundation used to build up a successful private busi-
ness. That the movement In VA l'nso county where the
need is us great as probably any other place In the
United rttates. will be successful there can be little doubt.
If the taxpayers large and small will take proper in-
terest In Ihe organization from Its Inception there can-
not be the slightest doubt but that It will become one
ol the most useful organizations of the kind and per-
form Miluable service In reducing the tax levy and In
-bringing about n condition where public money will be as
carefully honestly nnd economically expended ns Is that
of the Muccpaaful private business Institution.
No taxpayer who Is Interested In good government and
n ImslnesH administration of public affairs should neg-
tetst to attend the meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
this afternoon.
A military convoy train Is to accompany Ambassador
Etttchar from Idiredo to Mexico City. If the ambassador
in a believer In "safety first" he will engage the convoy
train for the return trip.
The Fighting Race.
Hardly harl the echo of the president's voice died away
in the recesses of the national ball of representatives
on the occasion of his momentous address In which h
told the world of the.severanoa'of diplomatic relations
with Germany ' than there was wired to him a inessag
from Joseph Mclaughlin president of the Ancient
Order of HlliernlanH pledging; bim the support of all Its
member in any conflict that might occur hetween the
l ulled States. and any nation In the world. In com-
mciiUna editorially on the possibility of war in the Na-
tional Hibernian of which he la editor Mr. McLaughlin
says:
"Hiberniañiam repiesentlnv through. Its organization
the millions of the Irish race In America stands today
as it has ever stood unquestioned In its loyally and fore-
most in Its devotion to the great republic. In peace
our citizenship Is notable for lta energetic activity In all
the areas of social industrial and political organisation.
In war the genius and courage of the Irish soldier have
covered the Irish names with Immortal luster on every
field since the St at -Spangled Banner was first rained by
Barry on the sea and since Montgomery fell under lta
fold on the land. In this críala our people will exhibit
the ancient charucter. for we are still 'the fighting
race.' Our proudest memorlea are of war. and the
shrill sounds of the pipes on the hills of Ireland never
gathered the clans with fiercer enthusiasm than have
the drum nnd rife marshaled the exiles of Krln for the
defense of (he land which gave them shelter and for
whose honor and safety t Itey have ever been eager to
die. The Ancient Order of Hibernians the whole race
In America stands behind the president and the gov-
eminent. We are not Demócrata! nor Republicans not
'hypenated' by any alien ymfty or chilled by any
prejudice. We are Americana ready to do the full duly
and pay the full price of citizenship In the land we
helped to create and have ever been eager to defend.
To read of the past is an inspiration In an hour of
crisis for the past is blasonad with Iriah-American
names which Illuminate our annals like splendid stare.
When the membership of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
nians rushed to the defense of the union our order was
destroyed but we gave the names of Meagher . Cor-
coran Sweeney and myriads of leeaer names to save
the Imperiled nation. liven in the alienee of peace the
names of Moyian and Wayne speak from the Revolu-
tion of Shields and Kearney from the march into Mex-
ico and MoClallan and Sheridan from the great cam-
paign that ring their names like a halo. Yet memorlea
are apt to be dimmed by peace for the voloe of the;
Irish speaks most loudly and loyally from the mouths
of cannon. Lt our words of loyalty be uttered now for
America and let our order which has given all It had
to give In other days once again exhibit the decisive
quality of lta patriotism."
It Is a clarion call and there la little doubt whose
names will be first to go on the regiment's roster ahould
It become necessary for the raited States to back up
lta rights with the rifle. True it la that the Irish are
atlll "the fighting race" who speak "moat loyally from
the mouths of cannon;" but when they turn to that Iron-
throated defiance the cause must be Just and every hon-
orable means of conciliation must have failed. Once In
the trey for liberty and humanity "the fighting raoe"
never falla to Impress itself on -the resulta never onoe
falters la the discharge of its duty never wavers in Its
Kaiser or President?
Frank Perry Olds who as foreign-language editor of
trie Milwaukee Journal hss done nothing but follow the
Oerman-Ianguaga press and Oerman-American activities
for his paper during the past year contributes the fol-
lowing article to the New Tork Outlook:
Relations with Oermany have been severed. War
may follow. What are we to expect of the berman-
A met leans? Will they follow duty or sympathy?
It la a case of Kaiser vs. President and the vast ma-
jority of German-Americans especially of the
younger generation will see their duty and stand
back of the president.
The vast majority but what of the others?
Those who glory in the designation "German-
American" with the accent 'on the "dormán" will
be led by their love for the Fatherland to have
"conscientious scruples" against participating
against any procedure against Germany. Volun-
tarily they will never take up arms agalnat the old
country. In case of hostility their place wilt be
the concentration camp. Our Americans of Ger-
man descent can be trusted. As for the others as
for those professional Germans who have wrapped
the American flag about their souls and bodies-
let them be watched.
The way In which trie German -language press of
the country received Germany's note Is character-
istic of the warped sentiments of this profesaional
element. On the day when the news of Germany's
decision was published the New-Yorker Herold one
of the most influential of American German news-
papera said:. "Ucrmany yesterday proclaimed an
unrestricted starvation war against her foes and
thereby spoke from the heart of every German In
the whole world. It Is only too bad that It did not
happen sooner for then the war would already be
over." Germany had decided to give no further
consideration to "miserable neutrals" and the New-
Yorker Herold rejoiced.
In general the German-language press against
the unfavorable verdict of practically every Bngllsh-
language paper in the country "maintained and atlll .
maintains that the German note was "thoroughly
Justified." Almost unanimously that press holds
that the president's failure to bring England "back
to the confines of International law" called for Ger-
many's renouncement of her pledge to this country
In the Sussex note. It is reiterated ad nauseam that
Germany Is fighting America's battle for a complete
freedom of the' sens: that she Is but upholding the
president In his desire for an early peace; that we.
from the dictates of self-interest should praise and
further Germany's efforts to destroy her own great
enemy and ours England. In the opinion of the
Illinois Staats-Zeitung it should be the "serene duty"
of the American government "In accord with the
German note" to warn its citizens from' using ves-
sels condemned by Germany "in this way conform-
ing with the principles of International law and its
own stat ci neo is mude a year ago. Further to serve
the cause of humanity the government of the United
States could do nothing better to end this bloody
war than to co-operate to that end possibly only
by a rigorous blockade of England."
This is the opinion of our alien press on the Ger-
man note. Its expression Is somewhat tempered by
a fear of a possible break which would place
questionable Americans In a dubious position. What
the Gorman-American press really thinks of the
submarine question may best be ahown by opinions
expressed befpre the danger of a crista was Immi-
nent. About the middle of January the Illinois
Staata-Zeltung referring to a possible renewal of a
vigorous submarine campaign said: "That a neutral
. . .. could check Germany If the latter seizes the
sharpest of methods in the defense of her national
existence Is Impossible and must be oonsldered en-
tirely out of the question. If It were possible even
a German-American conflict could have no terror
for America today. We who Indeed would be the
first victims of such a conflict say that; but we
prefer to sacrifice ourselves rather than see the old
Fatherland after Its glorious battles done out of
the reward of Its victory." When that paragraph
was written the Illinois Staats-Zeitung was not con-
fronted with the immediate danger of a break. In
its feeling of security it dared say what today cau-
tion would prevent It from saying. Being an tin-
trammeled expression. It Is probably a true Index
of the writer's feelings. What German papers say
today and tomorrow matters little. Caution will
dictate mild words but a Oerman soul will not be
changed over night Into a fullfledged pro-American
patriot. Forced by fear of consequences those very
men who have been America's bitterest opponents In
our course agalnat German outrages will perhaps
speak of "America first" and of obligations toward
their adopted land. But what were these' men saying
earlier In the warT Several of them have expressed
opinions as to German -American action In case of a
war against Germany.
"We would not enlist" says the Fatherland an In-
fluential German-American weekly under the edi-
torship of George Sylvester Vlereck "and five mil-
lion stalwart German-Americans would not enlist to
slaughter their own kind at the behest of the crud-
est plutocracy the world has ever seen. German-
Americana would not enlist except for a war of
defense. Of course this statement will .make our
leading Journalists roar with virtuous indignation;
but let us remind our countrymen of a very sig-
nificant fact: England Is at war with Germany.
Millions of the strongest and physically most fit .of
Englishmen have polntblank refused to enlist. These
millions of British subjects will never enlist never
take up arms and will laugh at any conscription
act passed by parliament. Also the word treason
will make them smile. last our Tory editors re-
member this fact when they shudder at the thought
of what the German-Americans will do in case of
an unjust war."
The matter Is I think clear. Americans what-
ever may be their descent will aot aa Americans.
They will stand behind the president even to the
extent or taking up arms against Germany. Among
these real Americans are millions of German descent.
But there are others of German birth or of German
descent some In the third and fourth generation
who reel and live as Germana whose American cit-
Isenship means only the possession of rights and
the negtect of duties. These I Insist ahould be
eyed askance. LaM them be watched; for their
words and their actions speak louder than their
citizenship

She could not understand how anything
muid excuse petty j-slousy that Ig be

"I'm frankly quite frankly ashamed or
you Margaret." she said in Iter runny de-
cisive way as they motored back from
the Fenways. "J?rry is Just as ronsidefate
and nice aa he ran be and you really are
fearfully unreasonable. As I understand II
he and Miss Pouglass were acquainted long
before be met you. and it was natural for
him to talk with her afler she had been
away to long "
"I have no objection to Jerry'e talking
with bis old friends" Margaret had an-
swered frigidly "in fact l thought her a
very handsome sort of girl one of those
big-souled hall-rellow-well-met kind that
nearly all men like and mak; rriendt of."
"Cat" murmured Nona knowingly. "Just
because you are lltUe and feminine and
altogether aggrsvatuig and never mulo
nine holes in your life! Jerry saw right
through It though. You should hare seen
his race when he stood behind you and
heard you tell Mrs. Fenway you had been
called home unexpectedly. 1 don't blame
him' one bit for slaying."
"Vi one asked him not lo stay."
"But what are you going to do?"
Margaret thought over lilla for a minute
settled back In her furs and watched the
smooth ribbon or roadway unroll ahead or
the car. Then she sprang her own per-
sonal little surprise.
"I'm going into town to stay with Teresa.
She's giving a box party tonight and baa
a reception tomorrow Tor Nme. Cardonta
and It'a all very selert and instructive. "
"And Andy Forbes will be there." Nona
fairly glared duwn at the utterly innocent
face beside her. "ir you do go Margaret''
she rintshed savusely. "I shall go loo. I
shall go Just to chaperon you. Mot againM
Andy nut to guard you against your own
impulses."
And Margaret only bit h;r under lip and
laughed. It was the memory or Jerry's
rare that had caused her derision. It was
not enough ror him simply to rail at this
gin's reel the minute he saw her and mon-
opolize her for hours In. corners but his.
must assume thin air of injured' rebuke
with her this lorty lUgli-mlnded attitude
that their friendship was' of so wonderrul a
character so transcendental that even
Jealousy could not picture It. She would
always see him standing there tall and well
groomed arid severely clean cut looking
down at her with accusing eyes or course
her departure would embarrass him. It
would show to every one her opinion or
his conduct even while she bad said she
had received the telephone call from home.
And she would go on lo town that artcr-
noon and stay with Teresa. It would be a
big real and a relief to talk to her yes.

Andy had belonged to Ine bubbly side of
life to her debutante day. She slipped
down farther into the furs and refused to
be drawn Into discussion.
But to Mona It was the crossing of the
waya the ultimate point of decision. There
was a daah or color in her cheeks a right-
ing tilt in her chin as she accompanied
her alster to town later. Jerry was simply
a prince or good rellows and she wanted
him lor a brother. When they arrived at
Teresa's pretty home she let Margaret ab-
sorb their hostess and marshaled her plan
ror a campaign. Hint of til she called up
Ihe Fenways and had a nice comradely
that with Jerry. He was hard to manage.
Margaret had acted ridiculously he said
and with unpardonable rudeness to Mrs.
Fenway. Miss Douglass had not remained
ever for the week-end at all. She was
going on to the city. Why no he dldni
know where. A box party he believed.
and suppef dance later. It was very important.
With his promise lo come in at least ror
the last acl Nona turned her attention to
Andy.
"I'm Margaret Kverden l slsltr" she said
over the telephone. "What? Yes. the
youngest Nona. Could you come up to
Mrs. Brooke's please; Just ror a rew mo

Margaret and Teresa Brooke sat up In the
latler'a room overlooking the park talking
over their tea as the winter sunshine rut
through the drift or gray clouds and slanted
down In a rain of golden light Just belure
sundown. And over in the park walked
Andy and Nona. He 'was .48 three years
younger than Margaret rour years older
than Mona. Those rour years altered the
mental perspective- Nona almost deferred
his opinions.
You see Margaret la temperamental and
It will tak riminesa and patience this time
to keep her In line. I knew you'd under-
stand . and Jerry's a splendid fellow."
"Bully" assented Andy looking at her
admiringly.

ay be that a few of those In our country who are
an descent may need to be "eyed askance;
but the thought conveyed in Mr. Olds' article brought
out boldly In the beginning and emphatically empha-
sised In oloaing that the vast majority of Americana of
German descent are real Americana as loyal as any oth-
ers Is simply a calm statement of a literal truth. It
has never once been questioned by any save partisans
of the unthinking class those who would not because
of a pardonable sentiment born of an Innate love for
a mother country bring themselves to consider pos-
sible a devotion to that higher Ideal of patriotism
ahould It be called upon to act for the land of adoption

Love at All Hazards.
I received a letter rrom a girl the other
day who had just been sent away lo a
convent. No. I won't gtve the name or tie-
Mate it was such a heart-breaking ap-
pealing sixteen car-old call Tor help and
drice. And the worst or It was. while 1
sympathized with her Intensely I could
not agree with anything she said.
Her people are very Well to do In a
large southern mamirariurlng town. Leila
!s their only daughter. She rote that she
had (alien In love with a young motion pp--turc
ector had written to him asking for
his phopigraph and had received a personal
letter and Ihe picture in return. Somehow
or other she had managed lo meet him
while his company was taking a picture
near Birmingham. Meeting bim personally
had only intensified thai wild unreasoning
Infatuation that cornea so often to a girl of
her age. Now I happen to know that this
actor has a wire and two Utile children and
that he is devoted to his family. He has a
besutirul home on Long Island keeps up an
apartment here '.n New York and a bunga-
low at Santa Barbara cal.
Leila had made a perfect Httle goose of
herself in her letters .to him. and he very
honorably wrote to her rather telling him
that a movie hero was not necessarily a
heart smasher and that most or them In
ract were married men with families and
wore quite contented to remain so. He also
lid him lhat while nearly all such letters
were answered by his secretary with his
photograph and a courteous acknowledg-
ment meeting Leila personally had made
bim reel that she should be disillusioned
and controlled. Thererore Leila had prompt-
ly been sent to a convent where she con-
siders herseir very much abused and
somewhat or a heroine.
Now I muat say that 1 agree with her
hero's advice. She has written to me hop-
ing that I would take. the. romantic point
of view and tell her' at least she must take
the veil and die or a broken heart. On the
contrary i think that a love of this kind
Is' hot really personsl. Leila was not in
love with Mr. B . She was liLlovo w'th
love and seeing him In his romantic pic-
tures he seemed the personiricatlon to her
or all the heroes or romance. He was no-
meo. he was colonel Esmond he was Nathan
Hale. Now he was a daring explorer and
now she wept oyer him as the debonnalre
young soldier or France dying in the
trenches.
At this age neither a girl nor a boy rails
ive wmi a real personality. Thev fall
in love with attributes and theae are usual-
ly given hy their own imagination to the
object loved.
I rerelved. letters with startling rre-
quency rrom one young man In northwest
Canada up to a short time ago. They were
very beautirul letters but I knew or
course that he wasn't In love with 'me. with
Mary IMckrord. He was 'In love with "Teas"
and "Cinderella." with "Madame ButterlTy"
and "(Had.'' And Just recently he sent me
sum a nice manly letter telling me he was
to be married to a i-harmlng girl whom he
nivea wiin mi wnoic heart. I had to laugh
because he did tell me that her curls were
longer than mine.
"You were perierlly right dear Utile

lire she had to be Jealoua or was Mary' a

Can you Imagine how that latter made me
reel? So I hare written to that girl In the
little white convent among the southern
roses eating her heart out over what sne
considers her ruined romance. Some day.
the real Prince Charming will come riding
by to claim her and if she has any sense
or humor she may show him Mr. B.'a pic-

will need a sense or humor because all
men I am sure like to feel they are the

This Is the query "In a letter rrom a

Very rew young men take It upon them
selves io asa a girl out on short acquaint-
ance. is wisest and best to follow tin
old-Tashloned custom or having the young
man call for aome Ume that you may be-
come mutually better acquainted 'ere you
go in public together.
Sensible young men will understand the
situation and respect a girl for carrying
out this plan. Strangers rarely expect a
girl to consent to going out with them
upon a day s or a week's acquaintance.
They respect her refusal.
