Incidentally, he was utterly without conscience oF scruples, and was fired with a boundless ambition. ai He was Aaron Burr, He has Seen called a man of bad morals. This {a not true, He was simply a man of no morals at all. Burr sought for military honors in the Revolutionary War. A clash with Washington hampered him. Then he turned to law and politics, and in 1800 was Thomas Jefferson's opponent for the Presidency. ‘Tho electoral vote remilted in a tle. Largety through Alexander Hamilton's efforts Congress Gave the high office to Jefferson. Burr was made Vice-President, and raged at what he deemed the trickery that hed robbed him of the Presidency.

ROM the 20,000 United States troops camped along the Mexican border ft is anid there have! been already more than 1,200 desertions. More- over, it is noted that among the men whose en- listments are expiring every day there are very few re-enlistments. Once they are out of reach of the United States camp, the deserters and the expired-term men alike go over the border and join the insurrectos. Some of these volunteers are undoubtedly animated by a desire to get big pay, or by a hope to share in expected booty, but with the majority the motive is hardly anything more than the lure of adventure and of battle. Moreover the lure is the stronger because of the romance that has been associated with Merico since the days of Oortez, a romance that excites the imagination with dreams of new SOS ee reine | This fe the spirit tht makes it hard to keep the peace of the world.
