In a general way, the administration's national de
fence program is a national, not a party program. There
will be opportunity for opponents of the administration
within and without the Democratc party to wrestle over
details of the proposed measures. But there will be
little opening for a party fight against the program as
a whole.
It is a shrewd piece of politics on the part of the
administration at the dawn of a presidential election
year. The Democratic party has benefited immeasure
ably by the European war, which has so upset all com
mercial and financial conditions that only a few ex
perts can interpret, explain, or even comprehend the
influence that may have been exerted by the Demo
cratic tariff act. By removing the tariff question
wholly outside of the scope of party discussion at this
election, the European war has seriously embarrassed
the Bepublican party.
Now by taking up a broad plan of national "pre
paredness" covering five years in advance, the Demo
crats have seized upon another big issue and made the
intrenched positions their own. The failure to prepare
the nation for possible foreign embroilment would be an
inexcusable fault, and the Republicans would of course
makeHhe most of it. But now they will be forced to
fall in line with the general plan of the administration
or else be marked as merely captious critics.
The Bepublican campaign program has not even
begun to outline itself. All the big issues of the past
are either obscured by war issues, or else in a pending
state admitting of no definite commitment by way of
anti-administration propaganda.
Let us not follow the Japanese example and ex
press our admiration and enthusiasm by keeping per
fectly silent, when the army marches by next week
during the Liberty Bell parade and the military tourna
ment. We Americans are a little too inclined to re
strain our feelings when any real sentiment is involved,
and to burst over when there is nothing to justify it.
It has always been noteworthy that people in this
section, being familiar with the passing of troops and
flags, bands of music, artillery and mounted troops, and
masses of infantry, take it all too calmly, and do not
express openly the feelings that deeply move us alL
It is well to cheer the troops and to uncover when the
flag goes by, for these are only little tributes to the
spirit of patriotism that does move the people of the
United States, however much we may, from mistaken
motives, try to conceal it.
Next week El Paso is going to have a big military
celebration. The Liberty Bell will be here on Tuesday,
and that will be the occasion of a great military parade,
to include all arms of the service, with thousands of
men in line, and 2000 horses and mules. There will
be the greatest artillery display ever seen here.
Following the Liberty Bell day, the military tourna
ment will continue for two more days. There will be
the greatest variety of games and drills, and military
displays. v
Neighbors, come to El Paso next week and have one
of the big times of your life.
The adoption of a bright faced little waif by Mrs.
Finley Sheppard, who is better known as Helen Gould,
has interested everybody, becans? the United "--has
always liked Helen Gould and appreciated her
gracious ways, and also because child adopting nas
become a very scientific matter, and some of the pos
sible risks of heart break involved in the taking into
one's heart of a stranger only to find the child unable
to accept love or wholesome living, are avoided.
By measurements and tests, physical and psycho
logical, the abnormal or defective child is soon discovered
and is put in some institution where he can be cured
or helped, and only the straight, clean blooded, happy
minded, 'normal headed, normal visioned child is sent
out to homes where so .quickly .the new father and
mother love the waif of thewurld as if he were flesh
of their flesh.
The science that prevents the heart break of theje
loving adopted parents is a mercy that the world needs.

Bedtime Story For tke Little Ones
Uncle Wiggily Pops Some Corn.
By HOWARD B. GARIS.
WfcTT TES, I think that's what Til do,"
y said TInele "Wiggily Longears,
the rabbit gentleman, speak-
i.g to himself out loud, as he sat one
Uj -p the dining room, of the hollow
ttump bungalow In Woodland.
"What is it you are going to do?"
asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeper. "Are you
going to play another trick on me, and
get Mr BigtaiL the for gentleman, to
dust the parlorr
"No, nothing like that" answered
tie rabbit gentleman. "It's a sort of
secret but of course Til tell you," and
he whispered in the muskrat lady's ear.
"Ouch'" cried Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
"What Don't you like my secret?"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Yes, ifs very nice. But your whis
kers tickled me, that's why I said ouch,"
answered Mrs. Jane.
"Oh." said Uncle Wiggily. "Ym sorry.
But don't you think that what I'm go
ing to do will be nice"
Verj ," vreplled Nurse Jane, "and I'll
help you with it"
Now what It was Uncle Wiggily was
going to do I cannot tell you until the
story tomorrow night Because just
now I have to tell about something
else
"Now Til go out and get some corn
to pop," said the rabbit gentleman.
"And Til go to the store and order
the things you want me to get" spoke
Nurse Jane, so out went tbe muskrat
lady and the rabbit gentleman.
Uncle Wiggily went to the corn
store, kept by Mr. Caw-Caw, the crow
gentleman, who was father to Jimmla
and Mary Caw-Caw, the crow children.
'T want a bushel of corn to pop,"
said Uncle Wiggily.
"My! What a lot!" cried Mr. Caw
Caw. "You must be going to start a
boardwalk store down at Asbury Grove,
near the ocean, next summer."
"No. not exactly that" said Uncle
Wiggily. "I'm going to "
And he leaned over the counter and
whispered to the crow gentleman.
"Oh, ho! A secret eh" exclaimed'
Mr Caw-Caw "No wonder you want
a bushel of pop corn."
Uncle Wiggily took the corn to the
hollow stump bungalow In his automo
bile, as it was too heavy to carry all
bv himself. And when be reached
home Nurse Jane had not yet returned,
which means come back.
"Well. I may as well start In and pop
the corn," said the rabbit gentleman to
himself. "It will take some time, and I
want to have everything all ready
for"
There, I nearly let it out that time:
didn't I' But have patience. It will
soon be tomorrow night
The rabbit gentleman shelled off
some of the kernels of corn from the
Mb and put them in tbe popper which
is a sort of pan made of mosquito
screen wire, with a handle to hold it by.
When you hold a popperful of corn
kernels over a hot fire the heat makes
the kernels swell up and burst out all
white, and s-row about five times as
large as they were at first
Uncle Wiggily put the bushel of pop
corn down near the kitchen stove, where
he could easily reach it and then he
bejran shaking the first popperful over
the fire Pretty soon the kernels be
gan to burst
"Pop Pop! Poppity-pop-pop!" went
the corn, bouncing up anu down Inside
the wire cake, the kernels turning as
white as snow.
"My This is fun!" cried Uncle
Wiggily. "I wish some or the animal
children could be here to enjoy It with
me. But never mind, when I have
my "
There I go again nearly telling the
secret'
Uncle Wiggily popped one popper
full, and he was poing to shell more
corn when, all at once, he felt so
sleepy beside the warm stove that be
put his head back in his chair, and
soon he was fast fast asleep
And while Uncle Wiggily slept a
funny thing happened The fire grew
hotter and the bushel of corn In
baskets near the stove bean to pop

the kernels. All over the kitchen flew
the white popcorn. It covered the
floor. It covered Uncle Wiggily up to
his knees. It kept on popping until it
came up to his nose, and then it tickled
his nose, the Wg kitchen full of pop
corn did, and Uncle Wiggily sneezed
and awakened.
"Pop! Pop! Poppity-pop-pop!" he
heard, and he saw the corn popping all
over. The kitchen was so full of It
that Uncle Wiggily had to swim out to
open the door. And when he did the
corn flowed outside after him like a
stream of snowflakes.
"Oh. my! I surely have enough corn
popped this time!" cried the rabbit
gentleman. Back he swam to the
kitchen, through the bushels of pop
corn, and he turned off the fire so it
would not be so hot Then tho corn
stopped popping. But oh! what a sight
the hollow stump bungalow was. All
downstairs was full of popcorn.
"Well, it popped Itself so I don't have
to do It" Uncle Wiggily said. "That's
one good thing. I'll put it away until
tomorrow and then

El Paso s Future
El PasoaD Visits Col. CoaVs Deer lodge
.fcBx
TJSl.NKs-S conditions are improv
ing rapidly in East Texas." said
Sam P. Cochran, sovereign In
spector general for Texas of the Scot
tish Rite of Freemasonry, v. ith bead
quarters in Dallas. "Dallas Is in much
better condition than it was some time
ago. The state fair was very largely
attended and the cltj conttrues to be'
crowded with people. EI Paso appar
enly has come through the depression
with less trouble than most cities.
There is a reason for this. Tbe city
has a large trade territory exclusively
its own It has been the mecca of Mex
ican refugees, many of whom. I am In
formed, brought much money will
them. When conditions are normal in
Mexico again the city, as the gateway
to a large section of tbe republic, will
profit by the trade that will develop.
The future of El Paso is very bright"
"While on an auto trip through the
Yellowstone Park country I visited Col.
W. F. Cody's deer lodge, near Cody,
Wyoming." said U. S. Stewart "His
daughter runs the lodge wben her
latner is on the road and it is a won
derfully beau tif t.1 place to spend a few
weeks in. It is a log cobin in the
woods and the scenery is some of the
prettiest I have ever seen CoL Codj 's
daughter told me bas was coming our
way and to be sure to meet him when
he showed in El Paso."
"The knowledge of Spanish is an im
portant thing for the people of this
section of the country," said Miss Gail
Lane. "It not only is important now,
but when the conditions in Mexico be
come settled EI Paso Is certain to have
an enormous amount of Mexico's busi
ness which will make the knowledge
of Spanish a valuable asset for the
business people here."
- "It seems a great pity to dismantle
the San Francisco exposition," said
Mrs. H. T. Bennett "The fair was so
beautiful and fascinating, leaving such
a real and delightful memory to look
back upon that it in a way seems a
personal loss to think that In less than
three weeks the work of wrecking the
wonder city will begin."
' It was the holding of the 1904 Irri
gation congress in El Paso that reail

cure tbe meeting for WIS In connec
tion with our own jubilee commemorat
ing the completion of the Rio Grande
irrigation project It will serve more
than any other medium to secure a
complete settling of she three vallos

"EI Paso can have no industry or
success but what Las Cruces secures
its share." said W B. MandeviIIe of
Las Cruces. "Not only will the next
Irrigation congress in El Paso aid El
Paso and her valley but it will be the
biggest publicity for the two upper
valleys that any irrigation project eve-

Paying Rent
FOR seven years, in discontent, I leased a humble cot; it kept me busy paying
rent it also kept me hot. Each month for seven weary years, 1 conghed
up twenty bones; I handed out the coin with tears, and deep, heart-rending
groans. The landlord lived in princely state, and when I went to him. and said,
"Old scout, the garden gate is badly out of trim; the doggone roof lets in the
rain, and floods our measly hut, each window has a broken pane, the doors will
net stay shut," he answered me, "The Times are bad, and growing worse, I trow;
I simply cannot spare a scad to fix that cabin now." At last I bought a lowly
shack, that measured two by four, with rainpipes, running up the back, a latch
string to each door. Now if the roof is sagging down, or holes are in the stairs,
I chase no landlord through the town, beseeching for repairs. I take my jimmy
and my ax, my shotgun and my spade, and plug the holes and fix the cracks,
without a landlord's aid. And there's a pleasure simply great, a sacred sort of
glee, in working round your own estate, however small it may be.
