The Conquest of Texa.
ACCOBDINO to advices from the lower
" Rio Orapde country there has devel-
oped" among some of the ft ex lean brigands
infesting both aldea of the International
boundary In that section a scheme for the
conquest of Texas or rather that portion
or the slate lying between the Nueces river
and the Rio Grande. It Is said thst these
brigands are coming over Into Texas In
considerable numbera are threatening to
overrun that sparsely hettled country and
It has been necessary to kill a number of
I hem In order -to stifle their desire for
conquest.
The Morning Times Is not Incline.! to
regard these developments down In the
lower Rio Grande fcctlon as of much Im-
portance. It may be there are a few bone-
heada In thnl SS-tfon who are disposed to
work up ricial diMurhancea for the pur-
pose .of gaining license to loot hut that
there la any well-formulated plan seeking
to recover to Mexico any portion of Texas
In probably an exaggeration. Mexicans a
a general proposition have had all the ex-
perience they detrtre with Texas. They
hayo tried the Texas metal and have 'reason
to regard it as the real stuff.
Blnee the achievement" of the Independ
ence of Texas there has existed In Mexico a
very wholesome respect for TexanB In fact
there has been a general disposition to re-
gard Texan as aomolhlng more than Amer-
icans and that sentiment has greatly con-
duced to tranquility on the 'border. ' While
there has been more or less banditry prac-
ticed on the border for. many years our
Mexicans friends have generally understood
the necessity for ahlnnylng on their own
side.
And If in the troubles that have come-
upon Mexico any considerable element of
her population have arrived at the con-
clusion 'that It la an opportune time to try
conclusions with Texas and ignore the
eHtaUlHhed traditions of tne past there are
going to be some very Interesting develop-
ments on the border developments well
calculated lo restore the ancient esteem in
which Texas and TexanB have been held
and firmly establish the fact that the all-
very Rio Grande Is the immutable boun-
dary between Texas and Mexico.
Tcxans desire no trouble with their
ncighborn across the Rio Grande and are
going to do nothing that .will provoke
trouble. But any Mexican bandlta who are
disposed to seek Irouble In Texas are not
going to experience any real difficulty In
finding It. I '
Oklahoma women are usually noted for
their modesty but there are exceptions to
all rules. When one of iheae read of (he
receipt of $10000 by the conaclence fund
of the United HtnteB treasury a few days
ago she hurriedly wrote the secretary óf
tho treasury and asked for $1000 of the
amount with the Information ahe needed
the money to buy her a cow a Ford cur
and a net of false teeth.
u
It la aaid that many of the belles of Gay
(intham are no'w disporting theinaelves
without hosiery and It 'warrant the bus
plcion that the lule Jerry Simpson must
have numerous femule relutlona In that
city; .lerry was ihe apostle of socklcsB
humanity In his day. and tried to Intro-
duce the custom In congress.
I'ronilnent Texas 'cattlemen are sxpress-
Ing the' opinion there is going to be no
luíate displayed In (he marketing of Texas
cattle this full and winter. This assertion
.. predicated upon the fact that range
conditions are so favorable and bo much
feed has been raised throughout the
Country that (he stock interests are In
filie alutpe to hold all (heir stuff back for
an era of higher prlcea.
'flic Wuuumaker propoaltlon to buy llel-
giuiii and give it back to the Belgians has
not elicited an encouraging roaponse from
any quarter. And if Belgium was thus re-
deemed what assurance hus Mr. Wunu-
maker the Germans would not proceed to
take It again?
General Villa's Visit to El Paso.
TUB TIMES la In no sense the champion
of General Villa or hla cause nor does
It st all times approve of his policies nor
is The Times n any way unfriendly to
Mayor Lea or hla administration.
General Villa's recent visit to Juareg' was
principally for the purpose of meeting In
official Intercourse the chief of staff of ttie
American army.
General Villas visits to our side of the
international boundary were made under
the assurance of safe conduct from our
government sa General Hcott's visits to
Juares were made under General Villa's
guaranty and The Times thinks that
Mayor Lea's allusion to General Villa as a
l.anclli and his threat to have him arrested
were unwise and that in this unfortunate
affair he haa not truly expressed the aense
and feeling of the people of El Paao.
Whatever may be the opinion of Mayor
lea. or any one else as to General Villa
he speskfl for the ruling power of a large
portion of our neighboring republic in
which many Americans have large Inter-
ests. The Times fepls that while here ne-
gotiating with our government concerning
those interests he should be free from
molestation or Insult.
Another consideration of commanding
weight ia lhat General Villa la here to
meet General Hcott a man of such exalted
character one whose service to the public
has been so great and who Is personally
so dear to the hearts of the people of El
I'aso that nothing should be done by any
good citizen' to embarrass him. or make
more difficult the great task he came to
accomplish and has accomplished.
Governor Ferguson hu orerared an in-
crease of 20 members In th.e Texas rang-
ers stationed on the border and says he
will make the total Increase 100 if neces-
sary in order to afford protection to Texas
people from Mexican bandits. When the
Mexican bandits learn there are 100 rang-
ers on the Texas border the knowledge
will be sufficient to insure the desired re-
sult. Down in Georgia it haa been diacovered-
that the mosquito has a marked aversion
for yellow and the Georgia girls are now
wearing yellow dresses and yellow hosiery
In order clrcumVent the little pests. It
1 possible that the yellow Journalistic
methods introduced In Atlanta by Mr.
Hearst has affected the Georgia mosquitoes.
It la claimed tha 1.600 aeroplanes -n
be built for the price- of one- battleship but
the aeroplanes has not yet reached the
point where bo many are the equal of one
liatlleahtp. About the only' use the ma-
chine appears capable of Is for scouting
purposes to give Information as to move-
ments of the enemy.
The fashion authorities of t.-.t country
are about to decree a new style In purses
but there In solace in the reflection that
during- (he 'Wilson admlnimmtlon through-
out the country (hey will continue to be
worn quite full.
All government money and securities
will hereafter be handled by mall instead
Of by express and that fact will no doubt
serve to detract tho attention of train rob-
bers from the express car to the mall ear
ahead
In I .on Angeles the chief of police has
ordered all patrolmen to salute the Ameri-
can flag every time it is in evidence and
It must be the chief is expecting General
Huerta to appear in that city and desires
that he be set a proper example.
William Jennings Bryan solemnly as-
severates that at this time he haa no po-
litical aspirations hut that is one Bryan
declaration thai will be viewed with prac-
tically unanimous suspicion.
The man who promises his moral support
to .my public cuici prise s usually an In-

The Fall of Benedict Arnold.
(Copyright loot. too? by harrter a Bromen)
(Copyright 101 by Uie McClure Newapsper
Syndicate.!
THE troops upon
whom Washing-
ton depended were
paid In "continental"
paper money which
by mo. had grown
o worthless that a
bushel of wheat could
scarcely be had for a
month's pay.
Wholesale desertion
began. Enlisted men
by the scorer quit the
demoralized camps.
It was reckoned
that as many as a full 100 a month went
over to the enemy if only to get food and
shelter and clothing. Those who re-
mained in the depleted ranks took whst
they needed from the farms about them and
grew sullen and mutinous. Promises of
money and supplies proved as frultlssa as
promises of reinforcements from France.
Even deliberate treason was added.
Benedict Arnold whom every soldier in
the continental ranks deemed a hero be-
cause of the gallant things he had done at
Quebec and Saratoga and whom Wash-
ington had specially loved and trusted
entered Into correspondence with the
enemy and plotted to give West Point and
the posts dependent upon It into the hands
of the British.
Congress had been deeply unjust to him
promoting his juniors and inferiors and
passing him over; a thousand slights had
cut him; a thousand subtle forces of dis-
couragement and of social temptation had
been at work upon him and he had
yielded to pique to bitter disappointment
to the disorders of a mind unstable Ir-
ritable without nobility.
His treason was discovered ln time to
be foiled but the heart-breaking fact of
it cut Washington to the quick like a last
and well-nigh fatal stroke of bitter dis-
may. Who could be trusted now and where
was strength to be got wherewith to carry
the languishing work to a worthy finish?
It was the worst of all the bad signs of
the times that no government could be
agreed upon that would give the young
states a real union or assure 'them of har-
mony and co-operation in the exercise" of
the Independence for which they were
struggling.
Definite articles of confederation had
been Suggested as of course at the time the
Declaration of Independence was adopted;
and the next year (November IB 1777) the
congress had adopted the plan which Mr.
Dickinson had drawn up and which its
committee had reported July- 12 177Í.
But the states did not all apcept it and
without unanimous adoption it could not
go Into operation.
All except Delaware and Maryland ac-
cepted It before the close of 1778 and
Delaware added her ratification In 1779;
but Maryland still held out waiting until
the great states like Virginia should fore-
go some part of their too great prospective
partnership by- transferring their claims
to the great Northwestern territories to
the proposed government of the confed-
eration; and her statesmanlike scruples

But the autumn showed a sudden turn-
ing of the tide. Cornwallis had ventured

ture and the hard school of war had made

tematic Steuben; Morgan who had won
with Arnold in the fighting about Sarato-
ga and had kept his name Unstained; and
William Washington a distant kinsman
of the commander-in-chief whom English
soldiers were to remember with Lee as s
master of light horsemen.
