The Art Of Withholding Facts
Senator Fall U right in saying that the long awaited
"report" of the state department on Mexican matters
is diiappointing. But it was idle to hope that the
administration would allow anything to become public
that might embarrass it in a campaign year.
Practically all of the information that would be
really informative, it suppressed, as a matter of course
"incompatible with the public interest" to give out
any official or confidential reports bearing on Mexican
affairs, or at variance with the official attitude of mind
and prejudiced opinion.
Ihe list of nearly 200 Americans killed on both
sides of the border as a result, directly or indirectly,
of revolutionary disturbances in Mexico, reinforces, in a
way, the previous statements of senator Fall, ex-senator
Root, and numerous others in discussing Mexican affairs.
But it conveys little, if any, new information. The
state department is amaiingly careful to qualify the
grim facts in every possible way in the interest of
Mexico, and to weaken the American case as much as
possible.
Judging from the condensed account of the report
as transmitted by wire, much of it might be a brief
of Mexico in her own defence, rather than an official
report of an executive department of the United States
government to the congress. There are commitments
made there that never should have been made, expres
sions of opinion (by many believed to be grossly er
roneous) that will arise to plague us hereafter, and
to reduce or destroy the effectiveness of any inter
national claims inquiry that may be instituted.
it is known to many persons, though always in a
confidential manner, that there are on file at Wash
ington great numbers of reports from official and semi
official sources, which really shed light on Mexican
affairs of the last five years, and which really ought
to have had som4 influence on the Washington govern
ment, but which seem to have been either always
ignored or always discredited by men with their minds
made up wrong to start with.
If these documents are not destroyed in the mean
time, they may come to light some of them at least
whenever the present regime is overthrown. But the
senate now has before it every scrap of information
that the present administration will give it. It is
four years since the senate began to ask for informa
tion, two years since the senate began to demand it,
some five weeks since the senate sent an ultimatum,
unanimously, requiring it. The result is only a minute
fraction of what the senate and the country at large
have an indisputable right to.

Mothering Lonely Sailors
An Indianapolis woman is enlisting mothers for
motherless boys in Uncle Sam's navy. She got her
idea years ago when she heard that sailors who do not
get home letters sometimes pay ten cents for a chance
to read some more fortunate boy's letter from his
mother. She started out by writing to lonely boys
herself and had an idea of building up the temperance
movement. But her correspondence increased so much
that with the approval of the secretary of the navy
she is organizing a mothers' correspondence club for
sailors.
Boys who want mother letters write to her, and
women who are willing to promise to write a letter a
week to some lonely sailor boy, enlist with her. If
possible the mother is chosen of the same faith as the
boy.
The letters are supposed to be what any mother
would write her son, not temperance tracts, but newsy,
and interested in whatever is happening to the boy,
interested in wherever he is; advice must not he mors
plentiful than this interest, a little affection must go
in, and general goodness, happiness, interest and atten
tion. Mothering is what the lonely boys seem to need,
and mothering must go in the letters.

EI Paso ought to have a local museum, not only for
a display of southwestern birds, rocks, minerals, fossils,
flowers, trees, ferns, bugs, and animals, and pioneer
relics and indian records, but to provide a place and a
receptive frame of, mind for bequests from travelers and
collectors. Many treasures would drift into such a
museum. New York, Chicago, London, Toledo, Denver,
and other cities as important as 1 Paso have lots of
fun and interest out of their museums, and El Paso
ought to have one too.
Psychology explains what you know already, 'and
neurology tries to warm cold feet or to pad against
worry, but both together cannot help out when it comes
to tackling the question "of why every human being,
even the grandest, bravest, most stoical human, is so
mortally afraid of the dentist. Psychology says it is
not the actual pain that so wilts folks down, it is the
hurt they are all the time expecting and don't get,
that does the hurt. Neurology says practice making
yourself a dead weight in the chair don't resist and
you won't suffer so.
But the suffering begins when the dentist writes
you down in a book for a certain hour of a certain
day. Then comes that most despairing, most melan
choly, gray, gloomy, dark, desperate, desolate, pessi
mistic, hopeless, life-is-not-worth-living feeling that
does not lift until the dentist discharges you tem
porarily mended. i
What psychologist shall plumb the depths of sin the
mind descends to on its way to that horrible red velvet,
steel handled, white napkined chair? On the hour of
an appointment one might wish almost any evil might
befall rather than go in that tidy door with D
printed across it. Why should the bravest as weH as
the timid, the strong as well as the weak, the stoical
as well as the nervous, all tremble at the very fact of
having an appointment two days off with a dentist?
Psychology cannot reinforce the wavering will noi
neurology blanket the nervous chill, the dentist re
mains the 20th century terror. And the funny thing
, about it is that the pain is really comparatively slight,
much less than many things that folks bear without
grumbling.

The dusky ex-queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, once the
talk of the time for her diamonds, her pomp and cir
cumstance, and her picturesque tropical background, has
been in comparative retirement for years, but has
emerged into the news again in a law suit. Her nephew,
prince Cupid, one time delegate to congress from Hawaii,
does not like her disposal of her vast properties but she
announces herself as sound of mind and willing to go
to court to prove it The doughty queen has a mind of
her own and does not purpose to have it discredited.
If Chaucer could write the chronicle of the Ford peace
party, on the Canterbury pilgrimage plan, only in
modern English, what a tale it would make. In the
first place there was no peace after the ship sailed
out of New York, and by mid-pcean there was a serious
split. Then there were troubles, jealousy, mistakes,
differences, politics, petty aims refusing to let idealism
pass, and selfishness blocking the way of nobleness.
There were able men and women in the party,
there was much sincere desire for the good of the
world and there was practical and brilliant goodness too;
there' were brilliant and supremely honest men and
women along, but there were also pettifoggers, and
Meddlesome Matties, and climbers, and social tramps.
t ... i.rmr.iinii7 to idealism to find itself thus com-
panied, and the party disbanded more or less broken texL
heartedlv. leaving a few delegates to represent peace (w,8-) j0
from America.
They did not get the boys out of the trenches before
Christmas as they promised to do, but they made a
more or less unpeaceful pilgrimage in the um of
peace, and as nothing is ever lost, they probably aided
world peace by exactly the measure of honest purpose
there was in their hearts.

Berkeley, California, is considering a zone system
of division for the city: residential zones, retail busi
ness zones, wholesale and warehouse zones, and zones
for manufacturing. Every city has troubles due to too
much mixing of business locations, and the establish
ment of zones ought to do away with property conflicts
and facilitate business at the same time.

"With the preparation of plans, for the

"It Is certainly an Impressive visit

ing. "All of the buildings, with three
exceptions, are new modern ones, and
are of the latest styles of architecture.
The first floors of the barracks are
used as lobbies of a sort of club room
where the members ' of the company
gather and play cards or read books.
The second floors, which are reached by
climbing Iron stairways Is where the
sleeping quarters are located. The build

and are fitted with large airy win

, "The obligations of the American Red

the United States may be divided into
three classes," said Dr. Ida E. Bishop,
chairman of the local Red Cross chap

maintenance of relief operations con
stitutes a very important chapter obli
gation. Funds are also secured through
the payment of annual dues, so that In
creased membership in the Red Cross

How Worlds Are Made Ready for Tkeir Habitants
Garrett P. Serviss Presents the Mysterious Picture in Its Lowest Terms of Imaginative Simplicity.
By CSAItllETT I. SERVISS.
SUPlOSK that through a land or
hilltops a great constructive
genius should pass, leaving on
each commanding site a beautiful house
which, after he had finished his work
"nd gone on to undertake another,
became the home of a happy family
nd suppose that after he was gone a
tradition should arise among the oc-
upants of one of the houses concern
ing the manner In wBlch It had been
built, the style of architecture that it
rnsodied, and the means and materials
that had been employed in the con
struction. Suppose, further, that care
ful and Intelligent study should re
veal much of the plan and the methods
of the master architect
Then Imagine that the Inmates of
the house, who had long seen on dis
tant hills curious objects, which bright
ened In the sunshine, should suddenly
become possessed of a perspective
glass, by means of which they could
pertelv that the objects were houses,
outwardly resembling their own. some
of them flashing back the sunbeams
from unmistakable glazed windows.
It Is unnecessary to say that there
would be great excitement In the house
hold where these discoveries were
-made, and that efforts to improve the
perspective glass would be undertaken
in the hope that the people dwelling
in those tariff houses might be
brought Into sight
Now, .suppose that, after the perspec
tive glass had ben greatly improved.
Its inventors should find that some of
the remote houses bore every mark
of having been abandoned, windows
broken, weeds choking the inelosures,
ihlmneys tumbling down, roofs fallen
OPHELIA
in, crumbling tombstones, in the door
yard; while others presented enigma
tical features, making It a matter of
much doubt whether they were occu
pied or not
And imagine, further, that some
acute observer in the family should
notice that the deserted houses all lay
on the hills relatively near, while the
others were situated on very remote
hilltops. Moreover, let him discover
evidence that these more distant and
puzzling structures were really unfin
ished mansions of Tery great dimen
sions. Tou can see in your mind's, eye how
the glass would pass from eager hand
to hand among the electrified observ
ers, and you can hear in your mind's
ear their excited comments when they
perceived that their own house, though
smaller, must have been built in the
nime manner as that in Which the .dis
tant construction was being conducted.
Something like this which we have
Imagined has taken place In our solar
sjstem. Around the sun at greater
and greater distances are arranged a
series of planets. On one of these
planets we dwell. It Is our hilltop,
and when we see on other celestial hills
other planets resembling ours we have
an instinctive feeling that they, too,
were built for homes '
But we perceive that some of them
have fallen Into ' ruin. There Is one
on a nearby knoll, the Moon, which
piesents a terrible picture of abandon
ment and of annihilating desolation.
There is another, more distant Mer
cury, which seems to be In a similar
state' of wreck. Tet another. Mars
appears on the point of downfall. Its
unfortunate Inmates, if any are left
striving desperately to keep their
world-roof from tumbling in, while a
fourth. Venus, Is so hidden In mists
that we cannot make out for certain
whether It Is yet a brillant abode or
has become a whlted sepulchre.
But looking further, we see another
set of planetary habitations In process
of construction. These are the great
planets, led by Jupiter, which exceed
the earth hundreds of times in size,
and which need but a glance to reveal
their unfnilshed state. Jupiter, the

plosive purgatory which has been
exploding at the expense of the
foreign missionary for the past 2000

CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence has Xoo
many faithful adherents. Too
many people Judge on the appear
ance of facts without investigating
for the foundation of real truth.
In spite of the fact that appearances
are a little against a man who comes
half an hour late for an Important
appointment and talks about "a block- i

have been a blockade In the subway
on the particular day when that out
worn excuse makes us laugh at him!
It Is easy to Jump to conclusions.
When one knows half a story and looks
at a set of clroumstances from one's
own angle of vision. It very easy to
form a conclusion that has very little
to do with the facts in the casix
Two and two do make four, but
there is always a possibility that three

one subtracted from the second which
changes the jsum materially.
Suspicion and cynicism and doubt
are great factors In modern life.
People doubt and question each other
and Impugn each other's motives. How
many a love affair ,has ended disas

flowing rills, and always paying doctors' bills? Bad cooking.
