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.

Another change 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. RIGHTS CONSERVED BUT THAT IS LIMIT Tex Heal' Congressman Defines |Uab?r Union Exemption In the Anti-Trust Law Washington, '^jjft .0^"Th<?re tis not a provision'fnhue anti-trust. bill wbtch can be tortured into ... meaning that violence, coercion or intimidation are authorised or countenanced,"' Bald Representative Webb, of North Caro lina, chairman of the House-Judiciary committee, in a- statement tooay, re garding the HouBe bmaifcu%!trusjf?bUl now pendtttg in th* Senate:.

"After the original section 7 of the anti-truBt bill was drawn, certain rep resentatives of labor contended that the\ section did not give tabor *U Jt waa entitled to. Finally we agreed to add to what had already been provided In the labor plank aa adopted In the Baltimore Democratic, conventlon^thjU organizations, orders or associations or their members should not be held Illegal combinations in restraint of trade under the aotl-truat lawB. Thi? added nothing material, but seemed a pretty good compromlae proposition. "This does not give labor, framers or fraternal organisations any more than thoy are entitled to under tbe law today, nor any more than the Federal courts throughout the country bave hold them entitled to. Th's provision will protect them from dissolution un der the an ti-tr uut laws, but does not protect them from penaltlea for vio lating the criminal: laws of the coun try.
