Qoa. Fraui'lHuu Villa, military com-
■lander of the rebel forces Wednes
day disclaimed any ambition to be-
eome president of Mexico in the event
the revolution is successful. He said
he did not wish to overshadow Gen.

leader of the revolution.
"Should Gen. Carranza become the
president he would receive my sup

Certainly no message the president
has delivered has been so well receiv
ed and none has dona-more to in-
..cr|ase the unusual measure of public
confidence that the president enjoys
the country-over. Reports from every
section of the nation, including Re

Only the ultra radicals^haye failed
to join in the rommendatlop of the
message as a sanely progressive pra-
nouneement, designed to hejp the
general welfare' of the people of the
United Strrtira.
It is recognized generally that the
president is determined his adminis-

realizes the future of the administra

President Wilson let it be N known
Wednesday that he opposes a rehi^n
to the "spoils system” of post office
appointments and will veto the post
.’office appropriation bill now before
the House unless the "rider” in it
exempting assistant postmasters
from the classified service is elimi
nated. ’ *
The president, it is understood, has
decided to call a halt t«r what has
been charged by civil service advo-
.. cates as a tendency in congress to
break down the merit system. He
was confronted in the tariff, currency
and the urgent deficiency bills with
the civil service problems;- but In
signing these measures took the posi
tion that his power pf, placing had
not been weakened and that the
merit system could be applied.
The “rider” in the post office ap
propriation bill would give the post
master general the right to revoke
the appointment of any assistant
postmaster and "appoint his succes
sor a’, his discretion”. Postmaster
General Burleson recently wrote Rep
resentative Moon, chairman of the
post office committee, opposing the
proposal, but it was not withdrawn.
The president Is expected soon to
form the House leaders of his^vfews.

“As soon as this light was observed

of our kind words that he has turned

visit to South Carolina, more robust
than he has been for years. And to
add insult to injury, he boasts that
he has been feasting on hog jowl and
collards while at home, and'is all
the better for that ethereal diet.

and might insist in his remaining ill
