V - tn. y Ti if ft lull miG&mflmto it Fort Bliss As a SSISTANT SECRETARY OB WAR, ROBERT SHAW OLIVER is expected to arrive in El Paso in the near future. He is now in the west on a tour cf inrapcrion and will it is understood inspect Fort Bliss. Assistant secretary Oliver is acting secretary of war during his chiefs absence m the Phil ippines. The acting secretary has all the authority of the secretary and disposes' not only of routine work hut of extraordinary problems as they arise. Therefore it is highly important that the claims of Fort Bliss as a regimental post be pre sented to the acting secretary as forcefully as possible during his visit here. Fort Bliss furnishes an ideal location for a great army depot. Strategically the most important city on or near the southern border, having several trunk lines of railroad radiatingin each' direction, raw troops or regulars could he thrown into El Paso for mobilizing in an emergency, organized and trained, equipped, and transported, in less time and witn greater emcieiiuy tu w,, .w in any other city in the southwestern quarter of the United States. The climate is ideal, either for acclimating troops returning from foreign service, or for regular garrisons en homfe stations. The water supply is pure and abundant, which can aot b said- of a largeproportion of the hig army posts, especially the extensive grounds used for camps and maneuvers. The locality around Fort Bliss is par ticularly well adapted to the exercises of large bodies of troops, tens of thousands if necesszirv, and ample provisions be made for firing practice by the artillery, both with feld guns and larger ordnance; for cavalry mane-avers, and for target practice by all arms of the service. " J The data should he got well in hand and preparations made to lay the case as strongly as possible before the acting secretary of wr upon his approaching visit here. . o - A number of storks were recently imported into New York following the re- cum of Mr. Roosevelt from Africa. They can't do the census figures any good fo: another ten years, however, no matter how hard they work. . C3 There is hardly any .possibility of the Great Peace Advocate being called upon to arbitrate the vatican-Spanish trouble. The kaiser says he was chosen of God it over on CoL Roosevelt in some way- God may have picked emperor Bill to rule the Germans, but he can hardly be charged with having picked some rulers who might ,be named, and he might hesi tate about accepting all the responsibility for emperor Bill. A Whole City ,NE of the most remarkable instances of boycot that have been written into the pages of history is the "TT. j -kt tit rtVnircirico Tmrvom county, -". -"-, u..i.,s- -... , -0 - of Portales." The boycot notice against Pprtales also favors Elida, and reads as follows: rinco New Mexico. August 10.

When the Voice -of the people" gets rightly into action there's no telling what wonderful things may come to vpass' Elida J c0me to pass Portales- o The insurgents in the United States can now point with pride to the victory of their namesakes in Nicaragua, but Mr. Cannon can call attention with equal satisfaction to the collapse of insurgency in Honduras. Schrader, the "prophet" and high priest of his own church, has joined forces with a brother of the late "prophet" Dowie and they are combining religion with the more material affairs of life by collecting a fund to search for pirate treasure off the Mexican coast. They are reported as being successful at least in living well without working very hard. s . o T Referendum and THE American system of reraresentative government is designed to make popular government practical and efficient. If there is failure to measure up to the ideal, the fault is not with the system but with the voters. The initiative and referendum and recall will not mend "matters. Everybody knows how easy it is to get up petitions and how hard it is to get voters out for a special election. The initiative, referendum, and recall, un less very strictly guarded, will enable a minority, often a corrupt or evil de signing minority, to direct and control legislation. We ought to be able to trust our officials for a two year term. We ought to elect officials we can trust. If two years is too long a time, make the term one year. But responsible officials should be left pretty free while in office to carry out their plans and policies without having to submit every detail back to the people cm the demand of a few factionists. a- People sometimes: have to have their own prosperity brought tc-'their notice before they realize it- That is what The Herald did for El Paso Saturday with its big advancement edition. Many people did not realize the good fortune of the city or its rapid advance, until the cold, facts were put before them all at once. El Paso's growth has been gradual and steady, so steady and sure that it has come to be looked 'upon as a matter of course by of course; it is remarkable. It is idle to try to draw a partisan division over the question x)f the initiative and referendum in the new state constitutions. One of the states used as the typical example by the advocates of the system is Republican Oregon, and one of its foremost advocates is the Republican senator Bourne. The national Re publican partyas not proud of it either; but it is probable that there are as many Republicans in favor of the system as there are Democrats against it and that means a good many.

T HE three walked Blackpool pier i as if they owned the earth and Hal ley's comet "Nothing like a bit of swank," chuckled Trevor, the oldest. "Look at the girls watching ub. Take us for blooming millionaires, you bet." Chaddock smiled blissfully. "They'd stare if they knew we were all from Bates' Emporium." Hinks shook his head. "I don't know whether all this swank pays," he grum bled. "I'm sure that ruffian of a boat man charged us a quarter extra because he thought we'd money to burn." "And didn't I order him about," cried Trevor. "I'd a quarter's worth of bully ragging out of him, anyhow. Hang 4t all, on my holidays I'd rather be taken for a pot and overcharged that be taken for a pauper and undercharged." "Jolly nice lot of girls about today," remarked Chaddock. "Pity we can't pick up with three." "Get out we don't want to worry with girls," said the economical Hinks. "If you've a girl with you a five cent ride costs ten cents, and they're beasts to make you spend money." Chaddock looked unconvinced. "I don't know about that. They'd rather walk up and down and show off their dresses and the fellows they've got than anything else. And you can't say that costs money." "I donlt know," said Hinks. "I was at Scarborough one day and met Miss Robins there you remember her, 'lighthaired.girl in the laces, who mar ried the shopwalker that got the push for pinching. And before I could shift her on to some one else she'd run me into five dollars." ""Well, if only we could get to know a few we could drop them when they seemed to be' getting expensive," re plied Chaddock. Trevor, who had been observing the lady promenaders intently all the time, now broke into the conversation. "That shows what you know about women," he sair magnificently. "I tell you all the girls walking up and down here arejust as anxious to know us as "We are to know them. You're both in the men's hosiery and of course you know nothing about women. Nov, I'm in the dresses, and I'm dealing with women all the day long. I tell you that you'd be amazed to" see how some of the girls who come to the shop make up to me." "YTe've Ireard all about that before," interrupted Chaddock; "but it's one thing talking to a girl who comes to buy dress materials and it's another thing getting to know a girl on a sea side promenade. "Not a bit of it. All you want is con- I fidence confidence and tact. That's a pretty little bit of goods, isn't it?" He turned to look at a dainty, dark eyed girl who had just passed. AIf all you want is a bit of confidende and tact, why don't you go up and make her acquaintance? You've confi dence enough for a regiment," jeered Shattuck. f "Right-o. I'm off! Kee; Keep an eye on me, you fellows." Trevor sped away in pursuit of the darkeyed girl, and his two fri-ends wheeled round looking forward with amused expectations to seeing Trevor get snubbed. !But to their disgust and disappointment the girl shook hands with Trevor, and they walked on to gether in the friendliest manner. In half an hour Trevor took a most affectionate leave of the damsel and came striding triumphantly towards his friends,, He winked artfully as he ap proached them, and they lookeM a little enviously at him. "Never knew such counfounded cheek," cried Chaddock. THE other evening I was having dinner in the al fresco restau rant of a pretty Long Island roadhouse, Pretty soon a big, expen sive, Ted automobile dashed up, and its four occupants came in and seated themselves at the table next to the orie at which I sat, so close that I cojld not choose but hear their conversation. There were two men, middle-aged, fat, prosperous, sleek, man-of-the-world looking, and with them were two little fragile, childish-looking girls, neither of whom could have been more than IS years old. The girls were obviously poor little working girls. Their clothes I were cheap, their pathetic little efforts The weary stenographer, turning from Is no harm In accepting at adornment tawdry. They looked ill nourished, underfed. Their little, thin, babyish arms stuck out, bony and angu lar, from the excessively short sleeves of their 49-cent Imltation-lace-trlmmed shirtwaists. They were silent, shy, ill at ease amidst unfamiliar surroundings. They did not know what to do with so many knives and forks, nor such an array of glasses. And they kept glancing at the men In a half-frightened way that made me think of a helpless little bird flut tering and twittering, repelled and yet drawn on by the snake that Is to de vour It, The men ordered an elaborate dinner, with much wine. Walters scurried in and placed silver buckets of ice with i A BAD BARGAIN, GIRLS By Dorothy Dix -f Cbaj&m AOanic ?& The HerajjFs Daily Short Story "Trevor, you beat all," said Hinks. "I told you it'd be all right with con fidence and a bit of tact," replied Tre vor. "I walked right up to her and said, 'Good heavens, it is a pleasant sur prise to see you again.' I could see that she was puzzled, and that she couldn't quite place me for a moment. So I said, 'Don't pretend that you re member me. I see 3'ou don't. But I could never forget your face. I was one of old George's friends, and he intro duced me; but I'm sure you forget.' You know every girl knows some George or other. Then she said to me, 'Wasn t it at Brighton?' and I said, 'What do you think?' Artful that I could get out if she said she'd never been there. After that we got on like a house on fire. I got her talking; and If a woman's talking she soon lets everything about herself out. Her name is Margaret Deane. ,She comes from Jersey and I think her people are pret ty well off. She's staying with an In valid mother." v "And what are you?7 said Hinks, cyn ically. "Trevor coloured a littler. "Well, I had to be something, so I just let out casually that I was a motor car manu facturer down here for a bit of a change after overwork. The orders this spring quite wore me out." "That's a poor wheeze. She'll be wanting a ride in one of your cars," said Chaddock. "Chaddock," said Trevor, with the air of one revealing a profound philosophic secret, "I tell you this that if you want to manage women properly you musn't be too particular about telling the truth to them." "You'll do, then," said Hinks; "but you're a nice sort of a pal. "We'd ar ranged to go on that steamer excursion this afternoon, and now I suppose you'll be backing out of it." "Not a bit. She's going, too, with her mother this afternoon. That's lucky; for it's no fun spooning with girls by broad daylight. And most likely I'd have to take he- . drive, too, and that'd cost money. No, she's going to meet me tonight." After tea at the boardinghouse Trevor made a resplendent toilet, "Look here, you fellows." he said as he finished. "I want your gold watch chain, Chaddock, and that pin of yours, Hinks. Only for tonight; needn't wear 'em again when once she sees I've got them. Remembor that I turn out twen ty motor cars a week, and I've got to look the part." Chaddock hesitated. The chain was his sole article of jewelry; at some time in the distant future he proposed to substitute a gold watch for the Water bury that was at present attached to it. "Hand it all I'll introduce you both to her tomorrow, and you don't want the beastlj things when you're going roller skating." At this benevolent offer Mr. Chad- dock's reluctanoe gave way, and Trevor I went forth to his appointment feeling something like the kaiser and presi dent Roosevelt rolled into one. The other two followed at a little distanc" partly because it was on their way to the rink, and partly because they had an exceedingly natural curios ity as to whether 'the fair lady would put in an Appearance. "Ten to one,' murmured Hinks, she j saw through it all, and was merely having him on." "That'd be a take-down for Trevor, wouldn't it? I should nearly die laugh ing. He may come roller skating with us, after all." 'IHang IV all there she Is. Crossing the road now, just past the lamp. There's no mistaking her walk." "Well, I give in. It's true what he cold bottles buried in them to the neck at the men's sides. Then they scl cocktails before the party. The little girls looked doubtfully at the amber Martinis, and then, urged by the men, began to sip. They made wry faces over the drink that evidently tasted to them llko medicine, and the mei shrieked with laughter and guyed them for It, and little by little the girls sipped until the glasses were empty. The men didn't talk very much to the girls, who only answered In mon osyllables, too much In awe of their rich escorts to dare to prattle, and so the men conversed with each other about business, the Jeffries-Johnson the coarse food at home, thinks there the invitation of a married man. prise fight, and the state of the stock market, and so on. s Presently I heard one of the men say to the other: , "When are you going away?" "The middle of August," replied the man. "My wife and children are spend ing the summer at Lake George, and I am going up and stay a month. I've got my oldest boy a motor boat, and he is crazy to show me how he can run it." "My wife is spending the summer in Paris," said the first speaker, "and I've promised to run over and motor with her through the Chateau district, so I expect to get off in a couple of weeks now, too.

They obey instantly and without cavilling, the slightest command of the omnipresent -They and omniscient police officer. never set personal liberty to do as they please above their duty to the commu nity as a whole. They are willing in civic life and in the capacity of citizens to sacrifice private gain for public prof it, just as they are willing In military life in the capacity of soldiers Jo Iay down their lives for the nation. German thinkers declare that this condition is the result of universal military train ing. Whether it is or not. It is certain that no such condition is even remotely possible In America. In a German municipality every law and regulation, important or trivial, is enforced to the letter. There is no nul lification of the law by common con sent, and there is no purchase of immu nity by bribing officers. The law is the law, a police regulation is a police regulation, and no officer of the gov ernment Is permitted to temper the se serity of a statute b'y an admixture of magisterial mercy. It is in the little things that the harshness of this sys tem Is most apparent, but the Germans do not complain of an exact administra tion of the regulations which would precipitate a riot in any American town within a week. Many Things Are Forbid. For instance, 'it Is forbidden to wa ter flowers except between the hours of 4 and 5 oclock in the morning; it is forbidden to practice or play the piano before 7 n the morning or after 3 at night; it is forbidden to air bedding by hanging it out of the front windows; It is forbidden to sing, shout or whistle on the streets; it is forbidden, if one lives in an apartment house, to bathe at night: it is forbidden for a woman to wear a cloak or cape into a theater; it is forbidden for anyone to get on a street car which is filled; it is forbidden for a pedestrian to obstruct the way of a carriage or automobile; in short, the word "verboten" is the sign manual of the German municipal regulations. Some of the trivial inhibitions mentioned above are Instituted by landlords, and not by the city government, but as the policeman will assist the landlord in enforcing observance of the rules of the house on the part of the tenant, the practical result is the same. Sleepers Are Jict .Disturbed. The complaint of an American so journer that this multiplicity of regu lations so rigidly enforced deprives him of his personal liberty is incom prehensible to the German mind. The German replies that these regulations guarantee hlmMns liberty, since they assure him that his clothing will not be bespattered with water from upstairs window boxes; that ho may go to sleep and may stay in bed late without fear says. You can bounce women into do ing anything." In the meantime Trevor greeted "Miss Deane in the warmest way. "Only just got here this second," he began. "Had some awfully important vbuslness to attend to wires from the works, you know. I was so afraid that I'd be late, and keep you waiting, and I wouldn't have done that for world's. Now, where would you like to go to night the Winter Garden or the tower?" The girl looked jup at the sky. "It's such a beautiful evening.' she said, "that it seems a shame to spend it In doors." "Well, let's have a walk, then. Which way shall we go?" ' The girl signified that all ways were alike to her, and Trevor thoughtfully led her to the loneliest part of the sea7 front. As they leant on the wall, watching the incoming tide, Trevor's arm casually slid round the girl's waist. So absorb ed was the girl that she never noticed this, Suddenlv." as she turned her face up to look at the star;, he bent down and kissed her. "Oh, Mr. Trevor!" she cried, with that pained surprise which girls always exhibit when a long-expected kiss ar rives. "How could you do a think like that? i You startled me so that I dropped my handkerchief down on the beach." t this if the bottom hadn't dropped out of the market." - Girls No Longer Shy. Then the men turned their attention once more" to the girls, and began to amuse themselves by chaffing them in a good natured way, but the girls were no longer shy. Their faces were flushed with wine, their eyes shone "unnaturally bright, and their replies were pert and bold. They laughed loudly, and when, at last the little party had flnlbhed their meal and started back to the red automobile, one of the girls was not quite steady on her feet. There was a whirr of the engine, a honk of the horn, and they fled Into the night to God knows what. You ..may see just such a scene at any road house, at any summer restau rant, at any roof garden, or any night at Coney. It is the Summer Widower having his little fling, and the working girl having what she calls a good time. It Is a spectacle with which we are so fp.miliar that we ' merely shrug our shoulders at it, and yet it Is a thing that must make the very angels in heaven weep. A Kllxnsy Excuse. The married men justify themselves by saying that they are dull and lonely when their wives are away, and that nobodj- can expect them to spend a hot summer evening sitting up in a stuffy shut up house or apartment. Also that their wives are away -enjoying them selves why sliouldn't they? And fur thermore that they do not mislead the young girls into thinking them single, and that the Mamies or Sadies, their typewriters or clerks, that they take automobiling or buy dinners for know perfectly well about their families. It is a flimsy and dishonest excuse, but the ravening lion thinks as much of the safety of a lamb as a man does of the welfare of a girl when he wants to amuse himself. Apparently no mem ory of his wife's honor, of his own little girl's purity, or of the death that he would deal to any other man that would lead his daughter into the danger that he is taking some other man's daughter into crosses such a man's mind, or stays his hand.

He says that he prefers to subor dinate his passing whims and to obey : these regulations and their like, in order that he and all the other people of the community may obtain protec tion from annoyance and danger which the code is designed to give, and which can be obtained only by Insisting upon the strict and universal obedience to the regulations. It is impossible for the German to understand the American point of view with regard to such things as these. But it must not be thought that the Germans will" submit tamely to re'gula tions which do not meet their approval. If anr attempt were made to introduce into German puritanical regulations such as form the chief stumbling block Of American police administrations, the result would be disastrous. The Ger mans would not permit any interfer ence with their right to buy beer wher ever and whenever they please, nor would they tolerate any legislation re stricting their freedom of choice of amuse'mont or refreshment on Sunday. That American cities vdo usually make more or le,ss effort to restrict personal liberty in this respect causes the Ger man to argue that the strict police reg ulation he knows is in -fact much more .liberal than the lax enforcement of law in America the difference being In the character of the legislation. German Cities Cleanly. r Of the sphere of German municipal activity just above that of ordinary po lice regulations, no American can find fault. The German municipality some times has to deal with the narrow streets and insanitary buidings inher ited from its ancient ancestors, but even m the oldest parts of the oldest towns the streets are well paved and clean. In the new cities, and In the new quarters of the old cities, the streets are kept in an Ideal fashion, and they are just as well paved, and just as clean, and just as well shaded in those sections of the city where the poor working man lives, as they are in the fashionable quarter. There is no dis crimination In favor of the wealthy. Model Building: Laws. The building regulations are the best ever devised, since they are intelligent ly enforced, and since they take into account safety, sanitation and beauty. Every house must be of practically fire proof construction, It must b strong enough to obviate any possible danger of collapse, it must be constructed with every possible sanitary precaution, and it must not. mar the symetrlcal. beauty of the street. If it is to be a factory. (Continued on Page Seven.) It had Indeed fluttered down on to the pebbles below. "I'll run round by the steps and get it." "Don't troubl-e, please lt is scarcely worth while." He snatched a kiss as reward in ad vance for his exertions, and hurried away towards the steps. Three hours later Chaddock and Hinks found Trevor outside the board inghouse. "You're slow, that'swhat you are, to let the girl go home so early," cried Chaddock. For a minute Trevor could not speak. Then he stammered, "She dropped her handkerchief down on the beach, and got me to go and pick it up. And when I came back she'd gone." "Fooled you nicely," laughed Hinks. "And she must have gone through my pockets while I was kissing her, for my purse, and your pin, and Chaddock's chain had gone," "What!" shouted the two. "And there was my return ticket in my purse, walled Trevor. "Tact and confidence, quoted Hinks " 'Tact and confidence, " quoted Hinks bitterly, "that's all you need to manage women. You can fool 'em easily, can't you? What you don't know about wo men isn't worth knowing, of course. She took in your story beautifully, didn't she? But she took you in far better." is away, and the mice will play," and we can only trust that the recording angel shuts up his books and knocks off business in the summer time. But however little a man's indiscre tion in the dog days may affect him, the moralities hold all the year around for woman. She cannot wipe off her slate and begin all fresh again with the first or October. Her summer record stands forever against her, and so many girls so pitiably many find that the harvest of their golden sum- Imer days is nothing but tares that they reap in bitterness, ana tears, ana re pentance. A Great Temptation. Always the excuse is to be made for The antomobllc, iliat looks so innocent vajfon bj some men to the working girl who strays down the primrose paths of summer that the temptation is very great. It is hard to see all the world going a-vacationing and to have none yourself. It is cruel to be young and long for pleasure and gayoty, and yet to be tied down to the dull round of monotones lajbor. Who can wonder if the tired little shop girl, whose sole prospect of recre ation of an evening Is sitting on a doorstep, or a fire escape, in an over crowded street, does not hesitate too long at an Invitation from heremployer for a 40-mile spin In his automobile?
