There are cemmon people in Russia under a despotic czar. There are common people in Germany under an em peror with imperial sway. There are common people even in England with a limited monarchy. ______ In all these and every foreign country class-distinctions prevail No man can aspire to the throne unless he be of royal descent; no man has social recognition without a royal trade-mark. It is different in this country. We live in a republic where a rail splitter like Lincoln, a canal-driver and school-teacher like Garfield, and a. humble law clerk Kke Cleveland may aspire to and obtain the presidency, the highest office in the gift of the people. The President of the United States wields a power rivaled only by that which the rulers of the greatest nations exercise. It is doubtful if some of the latter have as much power and exercise as world-wide in- fluence as our president. He is the leader of a hundred million pec pie, rulei of the most magnificent territory in the world. In this country the door of opportunity is closed to no rrar There is no king and no royal line of descent. We have ro hereditary titles and no social circles to which the humblest may not aspire. We place no limitations on what a man or woman may accomplish. It is for him or her to fix the limitations of human aspiration. In this favored land character, integrity and industry are the cre- dentials of success. Even with these the triumph may not be easy, but nothing is easy that is worth while. All over this land will be found men of wealth, of high standing and wide influence who began life as toilers on the farm, in the workshop or the factory. They saw the light of day in humble homes. They rose from obscurity not be- cause titty inherited tide, rank or riches. Self-made they seized their opportunities and made the most of them. They are as much a part of the common people now as when the} began. They sat at school with their ass'dates—the same school thai is training the boys and girls of today to fill the places of leaders whe a*e passing away. There are no class distinctions here. We are all of the common people. There may be differences in life's station, but not in life's rank. We cannot all live on the same level. We cannot a'l have the same tastes, desires and ambitions. Nature's variations are found every- where—in forest, in flower, m field, and st earn. It abhors sameness as it abhors a vacuum. It gives to one man greater ta'ent than to another, but it is Providence that confers these gifts. It is the Creator that gives man his individuaUty from the time that he is placed in the cradle until the time he is laid in the grave. No artificial hand bestows its favor by birth or royal prerogative to give one of us an advantage over another. So let there be no more -senseless prating about the "common people." We have no other. We are at! of the common class—commoners together rejoicir g in th* opportunity it gives us to make the most of the distinction it confers. !<*••*> Let demagogues prate about the common people, but let none of us forget that m this great republic every citizen is an independent sovereign. Let the sovereigns rule. And do not forget that a dem - agogue never fitted a pay envelope. IS THIS THE SINGLE STANDARD) _a_li_Ma_eea_a*_ea_* — - .

I ate supper at the same table with him after the lecture, and I remarked that he had not shown a picture of old world wonders that could not be almost duplicated and surpassed at home. He asked where were the Cata- combs like Rome and Syracuse, and I replied in the mummy caves in Can- yon De Shelly, northeastern Arizona. He wanted to know where was there Scenery that would equal the Alps and I told him to take a trip up the Rio Grande river from Santa Fe. and he would find It, and afterward see the magnificent Grand Canyon, which put in the background anything on earth. And as to Pompeii, there were 15,000 buried cities in New Mex- ico and Arizona. Full ot Wonders Wonders? This country is full of them, full of the strangest corners, people, scenery and ruins in the world —and Just as old as the oldest. And it seems so strange that more of our people do not see them and know more of them. Nino out of ten educated men can tell more of the an- tiquity of the old country than of their home. And there is not one of our cluster of wonders but what any man or woman can see' with safety, yet nine-tenths of us know as little of them as we do of She interior of Af- rica. * L . We all know of the Passion Play at Oi rammergau, and hundreds of our pec pie go abroad to see it, but up In northwestern New Mexico, back In the mountain hamlets, a community of Penltenties have had annual crucifixions of human beings for years, and today, while these barbar- ities have been stopped,, there can be seen horrible scenes of self-punish- ment. I have seen the fanatics with the blood running down their barb backs and dripping off their heels They are self-scourgers—a remnant of the flagellants of the middle ages In Europe. Oar school boys know of the won- derful snake charmers of the Orient, and the Jugglers Of India, tout they don't know that our own Moqui Indians will handle the deadly dia- mond rattlesnake as we would a rope, and that the Rio GrandS-Pueblos per- form some of the most wonderful ot magician's tricks. Every school boy and girl can ttll you of the old history of Salem (Mass.) witchcraftry. but them to among the mountains of New Mex- ico today, 1913. a great area where many a Mexican man and woman are murdered because they are witches and can bewitch. Greatest Ruin, in the World How many of our people know anything about the extinct cliff dwell- ers? Yet only about twelve miles from the station of Espanole, on the narrow gauge railroad of the D. « JR. O.. north of Santa Fe. you cad see the grandest ruins In the world. There ts net a hardship la reaching these cliffs. The country Is comparatively level and the road follows the little Santa Clara river. And here on one cliff you can see the former homes of ten thousand people, who lived, died, and whose history perished before a white man ever dreamed there was a western continent We all know about the great Sa- hara desert abroad, but right here at home we have one as absolute, snd in spots more deadly, extending from Idaho Into old Mexico, snd embracing pans of Idaho, Wyersssfc'-tTsw*.

Southwest of Zuni, well down to the Mexican border, to a big depres- sion in the land, and covered with shallow salt water. There are no streams running into it, It to appar- ently fed'' from salt springs under- neath. Out in the center rises a lit- tle peak or island, from the top of which gushes a soring of pure, cold fresh water. We half waded, half floated out to the island on an old water-logged raft, and my partner couldn't see why wa went to all th s discomfort to see a fresh water spring. It reminded me of the story of two men looking at Niagara for the first time. "Isa't it wonderful?" asked one, as he saw the great volume of water tumble over. "Wonderful!" repeated his com- panion (who of course was an Irish- man) "I don't see any wonder. There's the water and there's the hole." GOSSIP mm the same lake. But there are many things to wonder at in the great dry land. Mud Springs There are mud springs to be found in this country, big wells of liquid quicksand in localities where one would not think there was wetness enough in a hundred sections to ex- tinguish a match. These pits are cov- ered over with polished, baked mud and you would never dream of their danger. I broke a hole through the crust of one and shoved an eight-foot limb out of sight. Animals know their danger far better than men. They say if you once get to you never come out and I believe it. South fifty miles from a little des- ert station called Grant's, Just on the Arizona line, to a wonderful historic sight, the rocks where the first corn- era into America wrote their history. Very few white men have ever seen these historic rocks: A man at the station told me it was money thrown away to make the trip and It would wear a man out. "In thirty minutes you have seen it all and you will not have known what yea saw. You can't read or understand them." But I had read them and under- stood them long before I ever saw them, and I had read every scrap of history I could find of the venture- some men who wrote their names and missions there. They were written in Spanish by the early Spaniards who cut their Way through this wilderness, from Mexico to the Rio Grande. And they did not know there Was a Rio- Grande; what there was ahead of them, or whether they could ever come back. Just appreciate that Cor- onado, at the head of a band of ad- venturers, lured- on by mysterious legends of gold, matched from the gulf of California to Missouri In 1650. Inscription Rock The great autograph c'iff is call- ed Inscription Bock. There to a spring there, the first in many miles, and nearly all pioneers passed it and camped there. There, are dates there that- go back 1SS0, and there are the names of Ornate and other men who made ear- ly history, but I looked In vain for the name of famous Coronado. Whether be mfssed t his camping place, or whether he was too bhsy to write, I do not knew. But t here are scores of names or early heroes there, and some have written descriptive let- terai '• 0% • , One c a n \ wi ite of men a place and make it Interesting, but he will never forget tag album rocks, once seen. And it does seem as if our govern- ment should protect this wonder spot. There is another great wonder of the far dim days of our country, and one easily seen, in fact It to in p'aln sight of the Santa .Fe railroad for several miles, near McCarthy's a lit- tle telegraph station Just over the New Mexican l'ne to Arizona. The Stone Rivsr This Is the stone river, once a river of molten lava but now a river that elU never flow. In ancient days it poured out of Zuni mountain and flowed for forty miles across the country—a literal river of fire. As it cooled l. rose higher and higher and today it ties there from ten to twenty feet above the land. I t filled low spots, made lakes and formed Its path for forty miles. It is now eternal stone—black, glass like lava I never saw lit source, but I Was told it was a wonderful sight to see, that It tore out the side of a great mountain by Its force and weight, and that today yon can see a once great torrent where It broke asunder the mountain and ran In a great river of Are down Its side to the level coun- try.

Duke has seen service In this city for the past two years, and he thinks tbe team that he to now playing with is faster than aSy of the teams that has ever represented this city. He said yesterday that none of the teams playing on the auditorium floor for the past too years were as fast as the freshmen team, and that the coach demands that every player develop speed in passing the ball and knowing just wheri to stop to get the pass from another player. The Normals were without tbe ser- vices of Johnny O'Leary. but Choppy Weyant filled in in his place to great shape. In fact, many of the fans be- lie ve that the former Havana player is superior to O'Leary in a rough game, as he to much heavier. Molespki, the center of the Syracuse team, proved to be far superior to anything that we have ever had a chance to watch work. He had the time of his life working against Coak- ley, although the slim Normalite worked his head off to his efforts to stop the scoring of the visiting player Rafter, .one of the Syracuse for- wards, showed that he was not ad verse to mixing) it up considerable on several occasions) and he did it tosuon an extent that he had to be Warned by Referee Northway. Bath, the star of the local quintet, was in his glory with the visiting team They played tbe kind of a game that he has been used to, and he went after his man hammer* snd tongs. Bath succeeded to throwing two -baskets from the field against Reefer, but the 1 Syracuse man got away and secured Just' dou ble that number* Captain McCarthy was watched closely throughout the game, due possltly to the warning given by McEvoy who, having played with McCarthy tor several years, knew what he" could do and had told all of tbe other players to watch him through out the game. Bill succeeded to getting but one basket from the field, the smallest number that he ever got in any one game. He made good, giving free throws from the foul line which helped boost his average up to » respectable standing.
