THE FINAL NC?)RE
Apparently the iinul lup in media?
lion leads tu peuce and the establish
ment of cons) lt ut ional KO vern ment lu
Mexico. Presumably Huerta will fol
low historical example and ?pend his
declining years in Paris und MoT.h
Carlo, discarding carefully cached pe
sos, corralled while in position to do
so when his hand had access to the
cash drawer of an overburdened
country. Dance favorites, champagne
and absinthe and the roulette wheel
will feature tho coining years of this
man. If character estimates current
have not wronged him. And James
('reclinan ia the world renowned cor
respondent who drew thu sordid pic
ture of the bestial und besotted easi
que.
What the United States will have
achieved by stopping In at Vera Cruz
first and Mexico City second, may he
forever a matter of differing opinion.
The future unquestionably holds many
hours of furious oratory on the point,
when tlie Mexican situation und Amer
ican action come up for review in po
litical campaigns. Some will proclaim
Vera (*ruz a placo of martyrdom for
Justice's sake, while other just as loud
ly will rall against the needless waste
of precious Anglo Saxon blood. That
tho flag has been avenged of insult, or
that it has been dragged in the mire,
the one doctrine or the other will be
preached os- politics decrees.
Dut, conceding that the mediation is
to be successful, it would appear that
little transformation has been
wrought, unless the United States bur
dens itself as a Mexican godfather.
By establishing a provisional govern
ment along the lines laid down at Ni
agara Falls, a Carranza man goes In
to power and a strong Imagination ls
required to figure out any other con
dition that actual Mexican government
by Carranza, Villa and other Hebel re
cords. Therefore, after all. Unete
Sam will have interposed to hasten che
inevitable. The Rebels were winning
and Huerta was being eliminated and
his ond would-have been an adobe wall
to hlB back and a tiring squad in front
of him. tn all llkllnood.
Results of American interference,
Judged from the material standpoint
and without consideration of the good
done in upholding tho Stars and
Stripes, are the saving of a few Mex
ican soldiers from the eventuality of
more prolonged warfare, tho warrant
ing to the Joyous halls of Europe, an
other ' Latin - Ame r le .-nv . * flood-r ~f eUow a
with many pesos ,a&L sybarite tastes.
The men who foll under tho Ameri
can flag at Vera Cruz are martyrs.
They obeyed Intelligently and willing
ly tho call ot their home land for
a final service, and in the mill of the
gods, their loyalty and their labor
are both elements In the meal of final
good to humanity. The cost pf main
taining peace has been great, but it is
better that we should Buffer this much
If Justice and righteousness will
eventually triumph.
THE DI8PENSAEY.
Wo seo no occasion for excitement
over the dispensary proposition. This
paper has opposed the holding of an
election for lt is Bald on all sides that
the outcome is a foregone conclusion
In favor of no dispensary, and to have
an election would be unnecessary.
However we feel sure that Supervi
sor King means to do what is right.
He feels the responsibility placed up
on.his shoulders and he wishes to have
the petitions checked over by men
whom he can truBt. and who have the
confidence of the public.
It is unfortunate if he and Mr. Har
ley had any misunderstanding about
the personnel of the membership of
the committee to check over the lists,
and We are convinced that Mr. Harley
felt that he had grounds for thinking
that he was to have representation on
thc committee, or-that he would have
been notified to th? contrary. But
that ls a matter entirely in the prero
gative of the supervisor, and wo be
lieve that ho has capable and good
men In cbarge of the work. We
trust that'any misunderstanding may
be. eradicated, and that the personal
matter between these two, If there ls
any such, may not enter Into the
controversy.
Mr. King ts .not a lawyer and at the
.meeting some time ago ho stated that
any agreement he would make would
bo subject to conference with hts at
torney, but he declared his wish and
intention to'abide by th? law iand to
do nothing one way or the other which
would not.have' tull guarantee ot the
law.
Confiding in that statement, we feet
that Mr. King will not order the elec
tion if it ls made clear to him that such
a proposition would be unlawful. How
ever, we. cannot soe any harm in the
request of Mr. Harley to look over the
lists, if each of these- gentlemen
yrould get the other's view* point; they
'?night arrive af some agreement mu-"
thal ly helpful.abd mutually agreeable.
A CITY MANAGER.
Following thc Hood cat aal rophe that
destroyed life and property and deao
lated 1 vton, Ohio, thia city of 125,
000 population adopted the plan of a
city manager, and since January 1 her
governmental at Ta i rs have been un
der the care and control of a single
head. We hud hoped to see Ander
son get a commission form of govern
ment without a flood or other catas
trophe causing the people to demand
it. Lent I). Upson of the bureau of
municipal research contributes a pa
per to the current number- of ' the
American Review of Reviews from
which some results of the new gov
ernment plan have been abstracted, as
follows:
A purchasing department has al
ready saved enough on supplies to pay
all the year's expenses Of this branch
of administration.
Supplies have been Btandarlzed and
put under specifications for quality
and service.
Milk and health regulations have been
greatly strengthened.
Three baby clinics and pure milk
stations have been established, and the
visiting nurse activities have been cen
tralized.
Five district physicians have been
appointed to minister to those who can
not afford the services of a private
physician.
For giving free legal advice to those
unable to employ an attorney, a bu
reau haB been established with a very
limited appropriation. Over one hun
dred cases received consideration dur
ing the first month of Its existence.
Rand concerts have been planned,
with other musical entertainments in
social centers.
The city is preparing for cultivation
a number of vacant lots which will be
turned over to citizens free, with the
one requirement that a portion of the
plot be devoted to the raising of flow
ers.
School children are cultivating ex
perimental gardens under the.direc
tion of paid instructors, and''over 10,
000 plots are being planted 'this spring.
The direction' of this movement |B in
the hands of fifteen ' citizens, five of
whom are appoint ph-by the city gov
ernment, y /
A municipal lodging house furnlshea
1109 lodgjngs and 2969 meals.in March
withj'feturna to the city ot 925 half
daw ot work oh the streets.
JfK police school meeting with week
ly, sessions-has been established. '
A Are prevention survey has reduced
Are prevention survey has reduced fire
runs 20 per cent.
Modern ideas in sanitation, Cleanli
ness, good food, personal welfare and
the parole system are being worked
out in the correctional institutions.
That cotton mill in Atlanta that bas
been advertising fol* help in this sec
tion does not seem to be very hospita
ble after all. Employes are being
fired by tbe wholesale.
All credit and honor to P. E. Clink
scales for his efforts to encourage
home building and homo owning,
through thc. medium of the building
and loan association.
Ed DeCamp declines to write some
editorials for this paper while the Elks

to modesty. We spelled .lt "laziness"
when we were going to school.

THE BIBLE IN SCHOOL
I believe in teaching tim Bible-ln thc
schools ur at leant in having it read
lo the "hildren. 1 can see In memory
tito old achoo! which I attended. I
cnn nee the worn old Bible, u?ed by
two generations of teachers. The
good book did duty by day in the
school room and hy night in the Mas
onic lodge overhead, und I suppose If
the truth were known it was used in
swearing in the KulQur. in those days
when the schoolhouse w&s the com
munity center and the .center of the
defense of thc white civilization of our
country.
I can eec thc teacher now, and I
can remember Borne of thc passages he
was accustomed to read. Take that
first verse In the llrst Psalm. Did you
ever stop to consider what a world of
wisdom there ls In that one verse? If
David had written Just that one verse
and had stopped he would have oben
entitled to Immortality as a writer.
Listen :
Blessed 1B the man that wulkctb not
in the comino! of the ungodly, nor
stundet h in tbc way of sinners nor Kit?
telh in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the Joy of the
Lord and In His law doth ?e meditate,
day and night.
And there are other Psalms precious
to memory because of the associations
of those days, and there are the Prov
erbs and other delightful passages of
Scripture which might have been
shorn of their interest unless it had
been for the manner in which they
were read in the old school house.

Chicago, June 13.-The principle of
Woman's suffrage was endorsed here
today by the General Federation of

I fight by the suffragists to break down
the federation's constitutional bar on
political and religious subjects. Tho
motton was made by Mrs. E. G. Dennis
ton, of San ' Francisco, chairman of
the resolutions committee. There were
seconds from all over the house.
When the question was put there was
a chorus of ayes but. scattered nega

The resolution follows: ?
"Whereas, the Question of political
equality'bf men and women ls today- a
vital problem under discussion
throughout the civilized world. '
