animals on the streets by their owA-
ers. Of course, there such an ordin-
ance! If the city of Americas had
not such an ordinance in its code, ii
would be suitable candidate for nl-m
bership in the league of msdiaeval
municipalities that fiourished in Eu-
rope ten centuries ago.
Reference to the city code shows
that Section 2C2 makes provision
with reference to live stock running Oh
the streets. The sectionsin part is as
follows:
mo horse, mule, COW, hog, goat,-)r
other animal or animals, used or At
either for food or labor, shall be per.
mitted to run at large upon tne
streets, sidewalks, alley or public
grounds in said city and any such an
imaI found at large within the corpor-
ate limits of said city shall be taken
UP and impounded by the impoundins
officer, or other officer of said city
ETC."
1t is gratifying to know that this
ordinance is part of the citys code
but the ordinance leaves all of the
onus for the apprehension of those
no violate the ordinance upon tn
one who is injured. There are very
few people who wish to stay awake ii
night, for instance, to capture few
II arauding cows or horses when it ie
manifestly the duty of the city to pro
vide for an abatement of this nuts
ance. If one should stay awake IO
that purpose, he would likely fee
more Ike using double barreleu
shotgun on the brutes than in worry
ing about impounding them.
This, it would seem, defines in ad-
vance one of the duties of the police
men whose duty it shall be when tn
force is enlarged to patrol the resi-,
dence section of the city Outside ot
the depredations of live stock only 4
few violations of orderliness have been
reported from the residence section
at night Running down and impound
ing vagrant cows and horses Shout
prove AN exciting feature of the life oil
the policemen on the night shift IN
the residence section, and it would
doubtless keep time from hanging
heavy on their hands.

WILSON AS A PRECEDENT
BREAKER

The Chicago Record-Herald sums up
the precedents smashed during the
first IL days of the present administra.
ton.
First-Came the downfall of the in
augural ball, with its money changers
and turkey trots.
Second-The favorite barber. Presi-
dent Wilson shaves himself.
Third (the blow that killed faith
er')-The antiquated custom of parad-
ing off1ce-seekers at the White House.
No pie-hunters are admitted until sent
for.
Fourth-The President is going to
run the Government. Politicians may
make suggestions, but need not expect
to see them carried out, unless per-
haps, they coincide with the White
House views.
Fifth-The President goes to church
to worship, not to be seen. Crowds
may gather about the President
church door, but if he, sees them first
they will not see him.
Sixth-The gold braid and lace bus
mess has been eliminated Major
Rhodes, military aide, inherited from
President Taft, dresses like an ordin-
airy citizen when he goes out with the
President.
Seventh-The khaki-colored motor
cycle policemen who used to follow
thu White House automobile have been
given other employment; the Presi-
dent rides without bicycle escorts.
Eighth-The ancient custom of draD-
ing the Presidents box at the theatre
and playing the national anthem when
the President arrives has been put in
to the discard.
Ninth-Old 1T is said" has disap-
pearad from the White House news.
AID instead it appears The President
said"
Tenth-"That was said in Cabinet
meeting, and cannot he made public, E"
is of the past; what transpires at d
Cabinet meeting is public property.
Eleventh-The bi-weekly Cabiaet
meetings are under the ban. Tie Cab
met will meet when there is something
to be done.
Twelfth Promiscuous use of the EX-
ecutiye order has been stopped Miss
Salome Tarr, barred by the civil ser
wee regulations from the White House
stencgrapher's corps, could have gone
in by special appointment of tn Presi-
de-t, but the President refused to
exercise the power in her behalf.
Thirteenth President Wilson rests
the seventh day He puts the bars Of
the White House up Saturday at y
O'Clock and lets them stay up until
Monday.
Fourteenth-Cold suppers are to be
the rule at the White House Sunday
evenings; the old Presbyterian rule
will prevail
Fifteenth-The President declined an
invitation to the Chevy Chase Club.
SiXteenth-John Barleycorn and all
other sorts of intoxicating drinks have
been tabooed at the White House.
A tendency towards simplicity and
straightforwardness is revealed in the
breaking of presidents. There is one
of them that might well have been lett
unbroken. There is no reason why the
President should not have an armed
escort when he goes riding, Such an
escort is not for show. but for neces-
sary protection, The Presidents will

OF THE IRVINE MOB.
Brother Candse breaches q Sermon.

The miller said, IF you take him
down you will do il over my dead
body" AT this the mob leaders be-
gan to hedge and protest that he
had no right TO speak in their
church, etc.
The other man who had invited
Mr. Fee there replied that he was
a member OF that church and own
ed as large an interest in the build
ing as any one; that he was willing
to surrender his rights to the other
members; but that Mr.. Fee and the
congregation could go TO his pri-
vate home and hold the meeting.
His house was one OF the finest, il
not the finest residence in the town.
The whole congregation quietly
moved TO Mrs yard where, Mr..
Fee told me he had one OF the best
meetings he ever held. He was
treated very respectfully by every
body.
Fact is, most Of those people were
nearer right than they thought they
were before they found themselves
in the light OF gospel truth.
! am sorry I do not remember
the name OF Mr.. He is the man
who met me with an extra horse
at Brother BlantOn's at my last ap-
pointment in Kentucky, before the
war, when I was on my way North.
He took me 10 his home that Sum-
day evening. and on 10 the nearest
stage route TO the railroad at Paris,
on Monday morning.
! have often thought that il Reu-
ben Of the Bible story about 40
seph and his brethren, instead of
trying to compromise with his cruel
brothers, and trying secretly to save
the boy, had stood up boldly as that
miller in Irving did, and told the
older brothers that il they harmed
a hair Of the little brothers head
they would do il over his dead body,
they would have been saved from
their awful crime and from the hy-
pocrisy and shame of half a life
time, and would have saved the
poor old father from the untold an

ing him.

Mexican ituation.

The recent elections in Mexico are
considered null as too few districts
participated. New elections will
probably be called by congress
when Huerta expects TO continue
his program OF paciflcation.
The waiting policy OF the United
States is continued for the present.
The President is advised by Sena-
tors OF all parties TO lift the en-
barge on arms with the assurance
that as soon as the United States
permits weapons and ammunition to
pass freely into Mexico. the COnsti-
tutionalists will speedily succeed in
overthrowing Huerta. Meantime
they are tearing up railroads and
prosecuting the war with vigor. The
last reports are that they have cap
tured Chihuahua. Huerta has sent
note TO foreign diplomats making
the direct statement that congress
will be installed within a few days
and will pass upon the election Of
president and vice-president.
Meantime the English government
has given warning TO Huerta that no
antagonism exists between England
and the United States with regard to
Mexico. And he is reminded that
his failure to conform TO the res
ult OF the last election leaves fore
ign governments free 10 reconsider
their act Of recognition.
II is considered that Huerta's
government cannot continue long IL
foreign financial aid is withheld.
Ritual Murder Charge.
Bellies was acquitted at Kiev,
Russia, Of the charge Of numbering
a Christian boy. This trial has ex-
cited great deal of attention in
this country and in Europe as il was
charged that the crime was COM
mitted as part Of a Jewish relig-
ious ceremony. Anti-Semitic agi-
tators are endeavoring to incite
mobs to riot, affirming that the ver-
dict was purchased. IL is a revival
OF the persistent persecution of the
Jews that has continued in Russia
for many years.
