Despite the fact that the state department requested the Tex as executive's permission for Carranza's troops to pass through his state enroute to Sonora, Governor Hobby put his foot down on it in no uncertain terms. The Texas governor is right. Carranza and his gang are no better than any of the other brigands in Mexico, and the United States should allow his troops no more consideration than any ot the rest. They are all thieves and robbers, and excellent folks to have nothing to do ^ with. Naturally, the state department had reason for giving its consent for Carranza's troops to pass through Texas, but Hobby also had reasons why they shouldn't, and to our mind his reasons are sufficient. NOTHING ALIKE. 6^: , */' , Premier Lloyd-George fell into a : r" V grievous error in likening the Republie of Ireland to the Confederate States of America. The people of the south have a very kindly feeling toward Great Britain because the * south had Britain's sympathy during its own fight for independence, and it is very unfortunate that England's premier should have had the bad taste to compare the south with Ireland, with which there is nothing in common. The so-called republic that has been set up in Ireland has no le4 - gal status under the laws of Great Britain, whereas the Confederate States was a legally constituted government, and the right to leave the union and set up its own government . was vouchsafed under the constitution of the United States.*- Therein was perhaps the secret of the great valor with which the south defended its rights. Davis was a legally constituted executive; de Valera is an outlawed so-called head of a visionary and illegal government. There is nothing similar between the Re^ - public of Ireland and the Confeder ate-States or America. CHAOTIC POLITICS. . . . r There has perhaps never been a time in history when the country was so much at sea politically as at present. Politics is certainly in tune ;V with everything else. Even though the presidential .election is only a few months off, there is no one who can make anything like a safe guess j > # as to who the Democratic or Repub lican nominee will be. The chaotic condition of politics is revealed in a number of instances. Former Presdent Taft, who was approached on the matter of allowing his name to come before the con\ vpntion, replied that his attitude toward the peace treaty would prevent > him from accepting the Republican 'r=-. :.-x - \ nomination. Mr. Taft is perhaps the most prominent Republican in the country today. Herbert Hoover, who positively declines any nomination unless it comes from the Republican party, appears to be about as popular among the Democrats as among the Republicans, which doubtless precludes any possibility of his nomination. - ~ Tom Watson, who is neither a J. . Democrat nor a Republican, or much of anything else in the opinion of a good many folks, received the highest N number of popular votes in the Geprgia Democratic primary. And so on it goes. The Literary Digest is conducting a straw ballot on a large scale. Out of 125,000 ballots already received, the principal feature in the scarcity of Democratic votes. This probably means nothing; but of the Democratic candidates none of them received as many Democratic ballots as did Hoover, Republican, and Edwards, who is running on a liquor platform, leads all the Democrats. Of the Republican ballots, Gen Wood leads with 32,000. * Reason Enough. i "Why did you strike the telegraph! operator?" asked the magistrate of the man who was summoned for as-J sault.

' Located in the crater of a snow- < capped volcanic mountain on Unalaska island, one of the Aleutian group, is a large deposit of sulphur, believed to contain from 10,000 to 15,000 tons. A claim has been filed for the location, and mining operations probably will start in the near future. Subterranean heat and a hot vapor, the latter issuing from cracks in the rocks, keep the deposit free from ice and snow, though these permanently cover nearly all of the remainder of the peak, which is about 6,000 feet in height. Another sulphur deposit has been discovered on Akun island, In the same group, and a third near Stepo* 11 nm eVinro r\f fho vaK Day, on tut; suuuiau ~ Alaskan peninsula.?Popular Mechanics Magazine. Town Peculiarly Named. What's in a name? becomes a matter for consideration in the case of the happy-go-lucky manner of bestowing one practiced by the surveying ! party about which Captain Reynardsou tells in his book on the Mesopotamian campaign. This party came to a village on the Euphrates not marked on the map, so the surveyors hailed a local Arab and asked him: "What [ Is the name of this village?" "M'adri," the Arab replied, m'adri meaning "I do not know." But the party unquestloningly accepted it as the name of tthe village, and M'adri the village is to this day?on the survey map.
