There can be no longer the slightest ??\
i use for a mistake on that point any

In Kurope somehow?and iti some in

pr<ssi.?n iias prevailed that We feared to
intervene h*? uuse of entanglements else
where Japan has been represented as
ready to strike us the moment we moved

selves betw?f*ri th* devil, in the shape of

nii.stake also has been exploded. It is
plain now that the American people xxili
support the President, without regard t-?
dangers or consequences, jn any matter
app*aling directly to th*- national pride.
Whether this incident will materially ?
change the general Mexican situation dis
hearten the followers of Ffuerta and
hearten those of <*arranza and Villa?can
-.o' at the moment he stated. Neither
can an> further step of ours l?e now cal
culated should Huerta soon collapse and
the so-called constitutionalists become the
dominating force in the country. I-Vr
three years Mexico l a* been paying a
ueax y penalty for continuous disorder. And
ail foreign interests have suffered along
with domestic interests. I'nless !i? s-ome
way. under some influence, order is re
stored and preserved, war and brigandage
will make Mexico a desert.
T! is should be prevented. Both civili

Bridge Blockades.
bom* correetion of the open draxv de
lays during the rush hours of morning
and afternoon on the Highway and Kail
road bridges over the I'otorhac is per
haps promised by a public hearing to be
held under authority of the < hief of engi
neers. I". S. A., "to consider the advisa
niity of modifying the existing rules and
i-gulations for opening the draws in the
Pennsylvania rahroad and the Highway
oiid-^es across the I'otomac river at
Washington. L>. C." Serious complaint
nu.> ..r.s.-n because of delays to travelers
over those bridges during rush hours by
the opening of draws for the passage of
. ago oats or tugs with tows. The sug
gestion has been made, and the hraring
-?iii determine the justness of the sug
Oestion. that the draws shall not be
opened between 7 and o'clock in the
tuoinmg and 4 and 6 o'clock in the evtn
ing. The controversy between water
and land traffic over this question is an
oid one. When water traffic was the
more important there was no question as
to whit h should have the right of way.
Now, heeause of the magnitude of land
traffh , and the relativ* inconst>iuence of
water traffic m tiiat part of the river
-panned by the bridges, it would sec in
"hat ??- compromise could be reached
whereby th** incorniiiK and outgoing
roxxds of i?cople in the rush hours of the
?iay ? ould be relieved of the delays that
often happen because of the opening of
the bridges' draws. The solution of the
problem might be found in part by the
requirement that tugs have hinged
sta-ks, for the draws are frequently
open*-d for tugs without tows and in
numerous cases for tugs having barges
.a tow which could readily pass under the
^ridge^ but for the stacks of the tugs.
Some Mexican economist may raise the
qu> -tion of whether it would not be
cheaper to allow a bombardment to pro
? eed than to consume the powder neces
sury to a formal apology.
Perhat-s the ideal capital would be one
rich enough to pay all the taxes and re
ceive th- national government strictly on
a "W- ome to Our 1'ity" basis.
American battleships may reach Tam
pico in time to provide a large and dis
tinguisheii audience for the salutes.
The unconditional salute is not regarded
r>y Huerta as permissible.
The Community Walk.
In the spring the great outdoors makes
a M* ! ? al call and appeal to all human
kind It is a call that is heard by every
. .nil an appeal that should be re
spondec to. There is a project on foot
r. Washington to open up the country to
thousands of persons who feel the in
tiuence of spring and hear the call of
the woods and the open fields, but for
various reasons hesitate to respond.
Washington has a much longer list of
nature clubs than other cities of its size
because of the great number of bota
nists, entomologists, geologists and vota
ries of other natural sciences who are
employed under the government at
Washington. "Nature clubs'* is used for
la*-k of a better and exact way of de
nominating these associations Outside
I of the Audubon Society, which takes a
numerous company on its Sunday bird
walks, these nature clubs" are small
groups of kindred or agreeable spirits
drawn together not always by similarity
of interests and purposes, but sometimes
by the diversity of interests of their
members. The only thing in common
between the members of some of these
outing groups is their fondness for the
out-of-doors and their facility or felicity
in getting on together.
With one of these groups, which humor
ously or whimsically calls itself the Al
pine Club, originated the idea of inviting
everybody in Washington to take a walk
with it through the beautiful and inter
esting parts of the country around
Washington, which its members well
know, but which they believe are not
familiar to the vast majority of the citi
zens. It seems a very wide and free
banded invitation, but the men and wom
en issuing the invitation believe that if
J a person is sufficiently fond of the beau
it ies of the country to be willing to walk
j to enjoy them no other credent'als
should be required. There is a great
'iea 1 of public spirit and the spirit of
helpfulness behind the plan. Those per
sons who have Hit upon this rather un
usual idea, believe ihat there are thou
sands of people who want to walk in the
country, but find it difficult to make the
start, and either loiter around the city
or content themselves with a trolley
ride. it is this class which the Alpine
?'lub believes it can woo into the coun
try and that thousands of men and
i women will become interested in trees.
| oir-ls and (lowers, and that out of this
j number will be made many converts to
the walking habit. it is a practical wa>
I of urging city people t< learn to walk.
The Coxeyites.
! "They're off!" The Coxeyites ate now
I in motion headed for this town. That is
i t< say, two hundred men. jobless and
' discontented, have just left Massillcn.
I < ?hto. for the purpose of laying their
I grievances before Congress. They are
afoot, of course.
j "den." Coxey thinks the army will
j gr??w in size as it advan-es. The spirit
j of the movement ?vill spread, lie expects
\ to be in command of several thousand
| men by the time the march is ended.
; This estimate is extremely modest b>
, > omparison with one credited to the "gen
i eral" some weeks ago. At that time he
? saw himself at the head of half a mil
lion men. tilling the streets of Washing
ton. and impressing the national law
makers by "the majesty of numbers.-'
| Twentv years ago neither Washington
j nor the e?.unity at large knew anything
j about ???'!." Co\. v. Mis purpose caused
him to be rated as a crank and a
1 joke. In the eves of those who read
about his "movement" he figured as a:
fro wsj' and penniless person, giddy -
pated and emotional, who really believed j
that Congress would respond at once to j
the appeal he had planned.
lie proved to be a horse of another,
color. He was neither frowsy nor pen-;
nil ess?was far removed from the hobo
in even particular. He had means. He,
dressed well. He talked well. Su that;
when he came, and saw. and was con
quered. the popular notion followed that'
he would disappear and be no more,
known: that having indulged in a novel;
"lark" he would be satisfied with the.
personal advertisement.
But here he is again, still prosperous.!
still well dressed, still talking good Kng- j
lish. and still leading the unprosperous I
and unhappy on a wild-goose chase.
Then is no law against this thing, but j
so much common sense against it. one!
may well wonder at the man and his1
methods. He must know that Congress,
cannot do what he asks. It has not the I
time even t?, consider his proposition, i
It is pressed for tirn- to transact busi
ness already cut out. and much of it:
necessary for the carrying on of the gov
ernment. Sympathy for the jobless it j
doubtless feels, hut its dut> to those!
with jobs?who far outnumber the others I
?is plain and commanding.
"Gen." Coxey will lead no host into
this town. There are many unemployed
men here and there, but the great ma
jority are not manipulable for spectacu
lar effect. Those who have had jobs, and
tilled them well, are seeking them again
by means that will commend them when
business revives and jobs are once more
abundant. But the few who may trail ;
at his heels will have their blistered j
feet for their pains, and in the end be
worse off. if possible, than before they
came.
George Alfred Townsend.
The death of George Alfred Tov.nsend,
known to two generations of readers as
"Gath," induces a sense of sadness to
an army of people and a sense of loss
to an unusually large number of per
sonal friends, for "Gath's' circle of
acquaintances was wide, encompassing
men and women prominent in every
sphere of life. He was prolific and versa
tile as a writer of fact and fiction. His
style, and this he had, was rich and at
times exuberant. In phrase he was deft,
tlexible and facile. His memory was en
cyclopedic and its archives were so in
dexed that he could call forth any of its
contents by the merest suggestion. He had
unusual graces of language and resources
of information which made of him one
ol the most acceptable and widely read
newspapej correspondents. In addition
lo being a trenchant publicist, his con
tributions to P? rmanent literature as his
torian. novelist and versifier were con
siderable.
ivrjury charges now being considered
indicate that the financial backing of
the New York gunmen had not yet
been entirely withdrawn up to a recent
date.
Railways are to clear tables out of
dining cars to make room for dancing.
This may help some of the directors
to forget tiieir troubles.
Those Texas rangers who made the
quick dash across the border are likely
to regard the formalities at Tampico as
rather elaborate.
Curiosity persists as to what an ear
nest and consistent peace advocate like
Mr. Bryan ever wanted with the title
"colonel."
Tiie marine' draftsmen might go to work
on plans for an armored water wagon to
take the place of the battleship.
Noise and Patriotism.
Pleas and arguments are frequently
made that the American holiday be dig
nified. The complaint is made that be
?ause of the manner of its celebration
a holiday in commemoration of some
momentous event in the life of the re
public loses its just significance. I>ament
lis often heard that Memorial day has to
a large degree become, and as the years
progress is becoming in a still larger
degree, not a day 01 reverent memories,
but a day for play. Through the efforts
of wise and patriotic men the character
of the observance of the Fourth of July
has been greatly changed, though this
change was brought about not because
the fourth had become a play day, but
because the play had taken on such a
deadly and generally disturbing form.
In Boston the newspapers are criticis
ing and condemning the ways of cele
brating the anniversaries of Lexington
and Bunker Hill. The Boston Transcript
say? that "unfortunately these celebra
J tions have not escaped that tendency to
clutter our tine-weather holidays with
the tinsel and noise of the wrong: kind of
merrymaking. Three hundred and sixty
four days in the year Lexington and
Concord are decorous, sober and sedate
towns, but on the day which commemo
rates their proud place in the nation's
history they resemble something be
tween a county fair and a circus side
| show. Venders of toy balloons, squawk
jers. canes with pennants attached (why
[anybody should buy them is a mystery,
j but they do); strength-testing apparatus,
j penny-in-the-slot guess-your-weight ma
j chines, rattles and badge?. This noisy
[Invasion of nondescript hawkers" wares
| has passed for anniversary observance."
| The sober-thinking people of Lexington
I have met and resolved that this charac
! ter of observance be modified, and on
the 130th anniversary of Lexington,
| which falls on Sunday, April 19. and w.U
I be celebrated Monday, April I'O. the cir
! cus features and inappropriate noise
making will be eliminated.

So resentment is expressed abroad at

SHOOTING STARS
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
Ideal Employment.
"Those fishermen have a hard life."
said the man who was looking at the
l pictures.
"Oli. I don't know. Think of being able
; to go fishing without quitting work."
Sentiment Discouraged.
"You are never sentimental as J ou
used to be." said Mr. Meekton's wife.
"What's the use, Henrietta? I?ist year
when 1 said you ought to be queen of
the May you said that it was just like
a man to offer you a position which car
ried neither pecuniary reward nor offi
cial authority."
Always in Evidence.
Base bail presents a curious claim
To thought?no one can doubt it.
When you're not looking at a gam*
You're hearing talk about it
Not His Season.
"Why aren't you working?"
"With tlie base ball season opening and
everybody thinking up excuses to take
sick leave from the office? There's no
chance for im. I'm a life insurance
agent."
Sometimes Advantageous.
"Don't you ever change your mind?"
"Of course." replied Miss Cayenne. "It
is very desirable to change your mind
occasionally in order to call attention
to the fact that >ou had any in the first
plaee."
Annual Ordeal.
When sunshine gets the better of the
days so chill and raw,
Dear father gets a hammer and a chisel
and a saw.
He says in thoughtful tones that match
his stern superior frown.
"A lot o' things about this shack are
getting all tun down.
The bells and lights need fixing and the
doors are out of plumb.
There's not a lock or hinge that doesn't
call for oiling some!"
It's then we see a very anxious look on
mother's face,
As she remarks. "He's starting in to
fool around the place'."
There arc grease spots on the carpet:
there are scratches on the door.
There are holes and splintered sections
in the polished hardwood floor.
If you pause to press a button it will
shock you without fail.
The plaster drops in bunches where he
tried to drive a nail.
But no one dares to criticise the work
that he has done;
So long as father pays the bills, he ought
to have his fun.
But there's a sense of nervousness that
nothing can efface
When spring arrives and father starts
to fool around the place.
And Then What?
From the New York World.
After Huerta tires his salute to the
American flag, then what? It may be.
assumed that the dictator will have
learned something from the lesson and
that he will cease his petty insults; but
Huerta's petty insults are the least per
plexing part of the problem. Whether
the dictator salutes the flag with twenty
one guns or with 2,100 guns, the censor
ship in Mexico will make sure that no
body there knows anything about it and
the real situation will remain unchanged.
Mexico will still be torn by civil war,
Huerta will still be dictator, but power
less to re-establish order. The constitu
tionalists will still be fighting their way
slowly toward the capital. The United
States will still persist in its determina
tion not to recognize Huerta. There can
be no back-tracking on that issue. The
question of what we are ultimately going
to do will be as far from settlement as
ever.
Huerta's Second Thought.
From the New York Times.
Meanwhile, there is no indication that
the assembling of our vessels at Tampico
will be checked. There will be no haste
in this matter, and it is not unlikely
that our naval guard in Mexican waters
will be larger hereafter than it has been,
in view of the increased peril to Ameri
can lives and property.
Happy Scene.
From the Snringflekl Republican.
The Easter Monday rolling of eggs on
the White House grounds came oft as
usual, and Mr. Wilson, like all our Pres
idents, enjoyed the spectacle.
A Little Backward, But!
From tb<- Chicago Inter Ocean
We are a little backward sometimes
about coming forward, but really when
we get around to it we'd rather tight than
eat.
Always Blighted.
From the New York Son.
As usual, peaches are to be scarce this
year. Like the ice crop, this sensitive
product is always blighted by the snows
of spring.
Tardy Spring.

standard: one suit may have ruffles and frills, another plain and
fancy materials in beautiful combinations; skirts in one, two and
three tunics or draped: new bouffant effects: fanciful creations tliey
are. and truly beautiful.

from 6 to 16 years of age, and we have fortified our assortments to
such an extent that positive satisfaction will be the result.
The models have been selected for their practicalness?generally
serviceable and appropriate for any wear, and at particularly mod

The new Girdles have respond
ed with one accord to fashion's
demand for tunics, and many at
tractive features are noted that
are becoming to any garment.
Black taffeta or satin is generally
acceded to be the most popular of
materials for girdles with attach
ed tunics, as it can be worn with
almost any color and lends a con
trasting touch that is extremely
pretty.
A new model, illustrated, with three
short ruffles, slightly longer in back than
in front, is priced at $4.00. A wide girdle,
with tiny sell' frill at top, and wider ruf
fle over the hips is attractively finished
with sash of self. It can be worn at side,
front or back with equal satisfaction.
This is priced at $4.2T?. The third style is
of satin, in blue, pink, black and gold?a
wide girdle with double bow sash having
a long silk tassel end. at $3.00.

departure from the corsets as generally
understood and seen; they are but little
Our Treco models are very low in bust
and of large waist line, some with the
combination of elastic material at waist
or through the hip and thigh, affording
an unrestricted freedom of the body, and
