Postmaster Smith Has Resigned.

Postmaster Smith, Of Smiths Landing,
has resigned his position, and the Civil
Service Commission announces that an
examination will be held at Pleasant
vile on Saturday, July 8th, to fill the
vacancy. The compensation Of the post
master at this Office was $244 for the
last fiscal year. Many persons may not
know that there are two postofiices In
this borough, viz: Pleasantville and
Smiths Landing dividing the patronage
and keeping the former office in the
third class and the latter in the fourth
class list of offices. 1t occurs to The
Press that if the business of the two
offices could be united so as to bring the
one strong office into the second class
and give free delivery Of mail it would
be a good thing and very gratifying to
our citizens generally.

SUGGESTS FEWER
CIRCUIT COURTS
Harry E. Lockwood Tells Lawyers
Club State Should Be Redistricted
and Number of Judges Cut Down.

Judge Harry Z. Lockwood, speak
ing before the members OF the Law
yers' club, of Detroit, on the ques-
ton, Necessary reforms in the cir
cult courts Of Michigan" at a dinner
in the Penobscot Inn, Saturday noon,
made a plea for fewer circuit court
judges and an enlargement Of the
present districts.
Steps should be taken for the recir-
cutting OF the whole state, he argued.
The present 80 circuits, over which
40 judges preside, should be cut down
to five large districts, each OF which
should have six judges, 80 in all At
the present time the system is not
arranged in a manner to give justice
to all, he said. For instance, there
were circuits with only one Judge
for more than 10000 population,
while other districts of less than 56,-
900 population had two judges.
Judge Lockwood contended that
the recircuiting of the state, making
only five districts, would be a bene-
fit to the entire citizenship of Michi-
gan. The expense would be materi-
ally cut down, he contended, and
there would be less confusion and
more efficiency in connection with
the office. He also suggested that
the 80 judges rotate In conducting this
courts, each one officiating in the dn
ferent circuits. In this way, the
judges would be able to do better
work, by getting away from their
neighbors and friends once in a
while. The proposed new system
would also help to remove the office
from local politics, inasmuch as the
judges would be elected by the whole
circuit, including several counties
which they represented, instead OF
one county, as at present.
The custom OF some circuit judges
receiving extra fees from boards OF
supervisors, in addition to the salar
les paid by the counties, was bad.
Judge Lockwood declared. He said
that they should not be responsible
to any local boards for any part OF
their salaries, nor be hampered by
the thought that their conduct on the
bench might cause liberality or the
reverse by the local boards Of super
visors. The judges were really state
officers and should be paid by the
state. Judge Lockwood thought that
they should be paid at the rate of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
The judge was in hopes that the
next state legislature would take ac-
ton looking towards the reorganiza-
ton OF the judicial circuits on the
basis suggested by himself. He was
sure the move would be In the in
terest OF all parties concerned, especi-
ally the public. Better candidates
would be secured and the ONCE would
have more dignity and respect than
II now enjoys. he said.

Monday night, because Patrick Cal

Radical Democrats received invita-

that Charles N. Black. Calhoun's

BY gibson GARDNER.

! WASHINGTON, May 13.-The
Mexican crisis may be expected at any
moment. 1t will not be denied much
longer that Intervention has been
| foreseen from the start. The proper
ty interests OF Americans in Mexico
furnish a motive which is too power
! ful to be withstood. The strong arm
OF the United States-our army and
our navy-will soon be stretched out
to save these interests.
War may be the result. Interven-
ton Is the name under which invasion
will be proposed and no action will
be proposed and no action will be TAX
en- without the authority of congress.
Everything is being done to prepare
congress for a special message from
President Taft asking such authority.
The subject Is being presented In
strictest confidence to leaders in both
houses without regard to party. They
have been called to the White House
and shown dispatches and confidential
| reports and several OF them have been
taken TO the state department and
shown" by Secretary. Knox and AS
sistant Wilson.
| These members have also been
shown an outline of the military prep
arations by Gen. Wetherspoon, OF the
Army War college and by Maj. Gen
Wood, chief of stan. Every effort has
been made to keep these matters from
becoming public and strenuous de
malls have been frequent. The facts
nevertheless, are exactly as l state
them.
Prepare for Action.
Speaker Clark, William Sulzer
chairman OF the foreign affairs com.
mittee; Oscar Underwood, floor lead
/ er for the Democrats, are among those
who have been prepared" for what
Is to come. On the senate side Lodge,
Gallinger, Penrose, Cullom, Stone and
Bacon, OF Georgia, have been told.
The War College has worked out
its plan for an advance to Mexico City.
1t has the blank orders all ready 20
issue at any time, summoning state
militia regiments into the field. De-
tail plans are ready as to the trans
port of the militia to the points on the
/ border. Available at moments
notice is complete information about
the Mexican railroads, their equip
ment, cars, routes, ETC. The war
board has a plan OF campaign which
has been approved and which Is based
on secret information which our
agents have been at work securing for
months. This plan. 1t is understood,
contemplates an advance from three
points toward Mexico City; namely,
FL Paso, Eagle Pass and Vera CrIs.
The navy would patrol both COASTS,
but several full regiments of marines
would be landed at Vera Cruz to make
the advance on Mexico City. II Is the
plan to use the regulars as a nucleus
for each Of the three divisions, sup
! plementing them with state militia.
| Must Prevent Anarchy.
| One of the reasons for the extraord-
! mary precautions for secrecy is to
protect these plans and to make them
effective by the rapidity Of their execu-
ton after the word has been given to
advance. When the special message
comes to congress the situation will
be presented as an emergency. Delay,
1t will be pointed out, will be fatal and

( forth as merely to prevent the spread
