MY CONCERTINA sobs and shakes, for it's in poor repair, and neighbors say
the noise it makes would cause a saint to swear. My neighbors come, on
protest bent, when I on it perform; "Why don't you buy an instrument
that's up to date?" they storm. "Pianos now are in the reach of e'en the poorest
man, and you might go and buy a peach on the instalment plan. Pipe organs, too,
on easy terms, are sold most everywhere; why play a thing that squeaks and
squirms, and murders every air?" "Because," I answer, " 'tis, mine own, all paid
lor, long ago; and though it has a beastly tone, that fills the town with woe, I'd
rather hear its music sad, that keeps me in a sweat, than own the fairest, sweetest
Strad, for which I'd gone in debt. I'd rather it should make me sore with discords,
every day, than have collectors at the door demanding instant pay. The humble
whistle, built of tin, by local plumber made, beats organ, flute or violin for which
you haven't paid. My concertina seems a crime to folks like you, and yet, I find
that music most sublime which doesn't hint of debt."

The Forward Look
OPTIMISTIC sentiment increases over ,the country. Having passed through
a drastic tariff revision and the initial war crisis, business was prepared
to make the most of the favorable results of the election. There is a
distinctly better feeling, grounded perhaps in the hope of respite to business from
legislative attack, and in the hope of a return to stable conditions two yearshence
after the flurry shaU have spent itself.
Like Tennyson's queen of the May, business is surprised to find itself so well
after all the terrible predictions the doctors had made about it. With the excep
tion of a few industries, matters are not in such shape as to bring despair. On
the contrary, there are so many points in favor of early and general improvement
all a'ong the line, that it is weU to take an occasional account of stock.
The United States Is at peace, and it is the only great industrial nation that
is at peace. We have greater primary resources than any other nation. We
have raw materials, foods, and manufactured goods, that the warring powers, with
their 1,000,000,000 population, must have. Besides, there are several hundred
million people outside the warring powers, who must buy more heavily from tie
United States now that they cannot buy from the nations they have been ac
customed to patronize.
Onr ships are sailing the seas without serious interference, and our commerce
can move in the ships of other neutral nations. Our goods can go anywhere,
subject only to the rules of contraband of war. It is to be borne in mind that
we have hitherto consumed 95 percent of our own manufactured products, ex
porting only 5 percent; there is a vast opportunity to build up the exporting
business in all lines, so soon as we have the goods to export.
The war has shut off many lines of commerce toward the United States.
We shall be unable to buy abroad, for a long time, many things we have always
bought from other countries. This will force lis to make up the deficiency
through home industries. It is true that most international commerce is really
an exchange of goods for goods, rather than for gold; and the reduction of our
imports wiH have some effect also in curtailing exports in certain lines. But
such are the necessities of the rest of the world that the other countries will be
forced to buy from us for gold to make loans and create new credits in our
favor, to be drawn upon in payment for commodities.
In the nature of things, the warring powers -will have to mortgage their
future to benefit our present moment; they wiU have to raise money among
their own people by means of loans, to send to us in payment for the things
we have to sell them.
The Herald is inclined to reverse the usual form of prophecy, and say that
in the long run, the United States will pay its share of the war waste, and share
the loss with the others, but for the immediate future, the United States will
benefit from the war. The usual way is to predict present loss for us, and in
the long run, gain. It seems more logical the other way: present gain, and in
the long run, loss. But through the years to come, the power of the United
States to bear its share of the -world:loss will steadily increase, and the loss will
be shared by future years and generations.
What we are at present most interested in is the immediate effects, and
tho", it appears, ought to be and will be to stimulate American industry and
trade and give ns a temporary and more or less fictitious prosperity which we
should be able to enjoy to the full without tempting fate by failing to provide
against the inevitable reaction.
On the whole, at the present moment, there is a distinctly better feeling in
all American commercial centers; and great reassurance has. come from the
termination of the British moratorium last week without causing hardly a ripple.
E-itain feels more confident. She, too, has risen above the panicky feeling.
o
There is nobody in front of you in line now, if you go to pay your poll tax.
You will save time and save your right to vote if you pay now. A man who
crnnot or will not pay his poll tax, or who neglects to pay, is certainly not en
titled to have any voice in the government Further restrictions on the voting
privilege would be a good thing; certainly no one can object to the very slight
restriction the poll tax imposes.
o
Roosevelt's campaign manager in New York declares that the colonel will
not be a candidate in 1916, but that he prefers the role of a philosopher. Query:
Which does the Republican party need worst, philosophy or candidates?
p
England took the copper and released the Kroonland, sailing from America
for Holland and seized at Gibraltar. A British court will decide whether the
copper is contraband of war or not-
o
Glass "Made
AMERICA'S glass industry will profit by the European war. This country
has never been able to make certain kinds of glass as cheaply as Germany
and Austria can make it, largely because $1.75 a day is high wages for
glass workers there while here the men get $6. But now the world has to look
to America for good glass; for awhile after tne war is over, -with such multitudes
of men killed off, the price of labor will be high over there, and this country
may be able to hold the markets it has gained by the accident of war.
Other factors besides the differing wage scales, have kept this country behind
in the glass market The potash needed has had to be imported, but with chemists
and scientists in full cry after American potash for American glass, this problem
will be successfully met In the art of glass making the Venetians have been
especially inspired. They can tint glass like the shells and corals of the deep
sea, or blow twilight cloudy olive and gold tones, or the deep cool greens of
forests and sea waves, and they can twist 'and groove and cup it out into lines
as delicate as frost lines. They can fret it or smooth it, blow sunlight or shadow
through it, until it is as lovely as some natural thing from the meadows or
the snows or the sea.
More and more, as the war desolates so much of the beautiful in art over
the seas, the American wishes that something of that deep soul of beauty might
penetrate the work of our land.
o
Is it possible that the United States government, for the first time in four
years, is going to refrain from favoritism and allow the Mexican factions to fight
it out without our interference? No, it is not possible.
o
President Wilson will learn in the course of time that the Mexican trouble is
already settled, just as the tariff question is settled. One will stay settled almost
as long as the other.
o
Months ago the El Paso Herald predicted that Carranza would soon be classed
as a rebel; it has come to pass, right on schedule. France tried government by
convention; France also welcomed Napoleon as a savior.

Mrs. Rags Plays
BY FLOUNCE E. YODEB.
IT was dinner time at the Rags's
house, and, at the small table set in
the kitchen sat Mr and Mrs. Rags.
Mr. Rags hung his head and his oars
dropped almost in his plate, every once
in a while he would loo up, but as
soon as he -would catch the eye of Mrs
Rags he would duck his head.
For Mrs. Rags was scolding, and Mr
Rags was afraid ot his life They were
eating in the kitchen becausp Mrs.
Unirv woe o-ninc. tn have comDanv. and
she did not want to rink mupsing the.
other room. She was laying aown ui
law to poor Mr Rags.
"Now don't sit around stupidly all
evening," she barked out. "If there is
anything I hate it is to see jou shut
up like a clam. You act sometimes as
if you could think of nothing but how
badly you want to go outside and take
a chew of tobacco." Mr Rags wiggled,
and kept his eyes on his plate.
"Don't get excited and laugh and
talk your head off. either. No one
wants to know about your checker
games or your old store " Mrs: Rags
sniffed with wrath and her eyes glis
tened as she spoke.
"And there is one thing that I insist
upon, if you are going to stay in the
house Don't you dare to interrupt
me when I begin to play on the con
certina. Someone will ask me to play
of course. Then I will begin, but I
want silence. Hear mC"
Mrs. Rags leaned over and cracked
poor Mr. Rags with her spoon os she
finished, and he nodded "yes" as he
rubbed his head.
The rest of the dinner was eaten
in silence, but Mrs. Rags began to
bustle about before her husband had
finished. She rooted him out and set
him to work on the dishes, while she
put away the food. Between times
she scolded, and told him what a stupid
dog he was, and how she would chase
him away from home if he dared in
terrupt her during the music. "Don't
get up and leave the room, either," she
cried, 'just sit still and keep your mouth
shut."
Mr. Rags worked quietly, and es
caped as sodn as he could to dress. At
half past bix he came down, ready for
the party, but it was nearly eight be
fore Mrs. Rags sailed down, and some
of the guests had come.
Mrs. Rags was all smiles and sweet
ness, and even Mr Rags warmed up a
little and began to be happier. The
bunnies and dolls, and Tabbies and the
Hicks people and everyone came at last.
They gossiped and the children played
games until well on in the evening, yet
no one asked Mrs. Rags to play on the
concertina. Mr. Rags was glad, but
would not let Mrs. Rags catch his eye,
for he knew that she blamed it on him.
She waited as long as she could, but
finally went out in the kitchen to start
the supper. She had just put on the
coffee, and had placed the bird sand
wiches in the oven to warm, when Tom
Tabby came out
"They want you in there to play
the concertina," he called and ran back,
but Mrs. Rags was right behind him.
She said she coudn't and then said she
might and as the animals begged she
said that she would
She stood up against the wall and
threw her head back and began. Be-
ira she started, however, she gave V".

as day, '0love if you dare," so he made
up his mind that he would stick to his
chair or die. Yes, Mrs. Rags played,
but as she played, the smell of coffee
got stronger and then the company be
gan to smell bread burning, but no
one .moved Rags began to smile be
hind his whiskers, but he kept to his
seat. Suddenly the smell reached Mrs.
Rags. '
Her supper party was burning' She
dropped the concertina and ran to the
kitchen, but it was too Jate. With,
drooping ears, she went back to her
guests to tell thara that the supper
was burnt
They tried to assure her that it was
all right "&nd ate what was left, and
went home early. But Mrs. Rags knew
better, her party had been a failure.
Late that night after cleaning the
burnt pans, she went up to bed, but first
stopped to look at Mr. Rags. She held
the candle1 high and looked closely, for
did she see a grin on his face? She
raised her paw in anger, but Mr. Rags
poped his' head under the covers at
that very moment and Mrs. Rags went
heurriedly into her own room.
After all it was her fault' Mr. Rags
had only done what she had told him
to do Copyright 1314, by F. E. Yoder.
Letters to The Herald.
All communications must bear tho
signature of the writer, but the name
will be withheld If requested.
THINKS rOLICE TOO ACTIVE.
Editor El xJaso Herald-
Permit me to register a complaint
as to the manner in which visitors to
lour city are being treated at the
hands ot the police. It seems that at
this time a stranger is not safe from
arrest insult and humiliation because
there have been a few robberies, etc.
committed. On account of the unusual
vigilance of the police It is unsafe for
a person to walk on your streets, with
out facing the possibilities of being
arrested.
I have heard there were no fewer
than 125 such arrests in a single day.
Now, Mr Editor, surely there Is no
necessity for the police to act in such
a wholesale manner. It occurs to me
that an officer ought at least have
some evidence against a person before
subjecting him to arrest and embar
rassment In the case of the writer. 1
was stopped while walkilng along the
street by an officer, placed under ar
rest, while another, presumably an of"
fiter in plain clothes, proceeded to in
sult and humiliate me In the hearing
of many passers-by.
Now, Mr Editor, no right thinking
person should have any objection to
the police using corrcst measures to
protect the citizens of this cit, but
surelj it is not necessary to go to
such extremes Hoping some more able
per than mine may take this matter
up. Visitor.

"T
F PIONEER DAY proves a suc
cess," said Edward Kneezell, "it
is probable the chamber of com
merce will vote funds to make It an i
annual affair. Since El Paso county
has no annual fair it is time we had
some celebration each year that will
take the place of a fair. And it is the
opinion of the committee conducting
Pioneer day that they have found the
proper substitute. Many of the old
timers who should belong to this or
ganization will probably come in "
Pioneer day proves to be the success
that is anticipated. With, an increased
membership the Pioneers can erect the
long hoped for club house, as well as
making Pioneer day an annual institu

"El Paso had no opposition in se
curing the promise of the 1916 con
vention of the Texas State AdcluD,
said R. E Sherman. , .
"When this club asked for the meet
ing at the recent Dallas convention
practically all the delegates pledged
themselves to vote at the Waco meet
ing for El Paso in 1916. The Avai-a
meeting will be held in February and
there will be a large delegation rep
resenting the El Paso Adclub go there.
Since El Paso has started its many
publicity campaigns the city is having
little trouble in securing state conven
tions. It will be only a question of a
short time until national conventions
will be held in EI Paso"
"I have just returned from a two
days' trip through the Mesilla valley
around Las Cruces," said John L. Lait.
"The experience was prolific in start
ling impressions, and confirms the be
lief that these fertile valleys cluster
ing above and below the city of fcl
Paso are destined to become great fac
tors in the growth of the city There
is a wealth of historic interest cluster
ing about this whole section suffi
cient to satisfy the most exacting anti
nunrlaTi nnil rnmnnt.ic.isL These val-
lejs are richly dowered with all that
perfect ciiimate, nign eieTanon
and
beautiful scenery can bestow Those
who dwell here are assured of the
most favorable conditions of living.
Besides all this, it is not necessary to
forego the full advantages of the most
advanced civilization of the day m or
der to live here. The city of El Paso
is an up-to-the-second city, wide
awake and filled with the most pro
gressive spirit of the age. It needs
no prophet to predict the future of
this section."
"The few German war vessels that
are operating away from their bases
in German ports are certainly giving
good accounts of themselves," said Max
Weber. "In every case, when they
haTe been captured they have fought
tj the last The Emden was a second
rate vessel and its loss has been far
more than made up for by the large
number of merchant ships that it has
captured. The officers and men on
these detached vessels are almost sure
of capture or death, but in every case
they fearlessly do their duty until the
last."
"Holiday rates on all railroads out of
El Paso Willi soon be effective," &aid
Harry Graham. "During the latter
part of October and the early days of
Ncvember a marked increase has taken
place in passenger traffic, both in
and out of this point After the sum
mer rates had expired the usual dull
ness in traveling set in. but it has.;
begun to pick up Temarkably in the.
past few weeks The California trains,
especially, bring large numbers of
tourists to El Paso, many of whom
stay over for a few days. An extra
coach was recently added to train No.

to accommodate the increase in pas
senger traffic"
"Present indications point to a good
hunting season," said E B Elfers.
"I have been both east and west and
have found game plentiful in both sec
tions. I saw many birds, as well as
four footed game Quail, however, are
rather scarce to the east owing to tha
dry country. They are quite plenti

beyond that point Over in the moun

Those who prefer game meat need
only go out and get it"

Galicia is cut off from Hungary by
