When the "MeeIish" Lines Up.
Welcome to the soldier lads
Who fought the fight at Porter;
They didn't kill a soul, tits said,
No sign they hadn't orter.
They did the job they went to do,
They sent the "gams" a-hying,
And stopped the simple suckers from
Seductive pools a-buying.
When civil law it's goat has lost,
With officers assembling,
It's handy for the state TO have
The soldiers for assembling.
A constable may wink and grin,
A prosecutor doing.
But the ''meelish'' is there for biz
And makes the law imposing.
OUR idea Of extravaganza is fairly
expressed by the New York preacher
who said: Women have lost their
interest in clothing and are going
around the streets without any on"

indicate that the stranger is some re-
latiOn to the Don.
AS an example of the manifestation
Of the primal instinct we have the
workingman who, vending his way
homeward through a vacant lot as the
dusk of evening falls, stops to fill his
dinner pail and pockets with the fruit
that has fallen from a worm infested
pear tree.
The primal instinct in primeval
times prompted primitive man to pro-
vide for present and prospective wants
by appropriating to his purposes by
preemption or purloining the products

DOUBT Is DIsPELLED.

Now that the purposes of the So
called citizens movement have been
exposed and the principal actors
shown up in their true light the iEted-
ligent citizen should have no difficult
~ in deciding where his interests lie
in the present municipal campaign.
On the one hand he has the Well
laid but poorly executed plans Of a
few individuals and a newspaper to
obtain control Of the city government.
These plans are now we'll understood.
They need not be elaborated. They
present Fred w. Keller as candidate
for mayor with William Happ and
the Tribune in the background.
What is there in such a combina-
ton to appeal 10 the citizenship Of
any voter? II is simply an aggrega-
ton Of office and patronage seekers,
who If successful expect 10 profit by
utilizing their political power for
selfish ends.
on the other hand we have the
nominees of a legitimate and regular
~ organized party which by the votes
of the people has been entrusted with
the custody OF the general govern
ment in the belief that its principles
and policies more nearly than those
OF any other party represent the pop
ular will.
The candidates on the democratic
ticket are all men Of good repute.
The candidate for mayor Patrick A.
Joyce, is recognized in business circles
as a man Of ability and integrity
There is not a man on the ticket who
is rot we'll qualified to perform the
duties of the position to which he as
pires.
The one ticket was nominated on a
pretense of reform making a sordid
motive. The other represents an or
ganization Of one-half or more of the
citizens of South Bend having the
legitimate purpose of carrying out the
intent and meaning OF the spirit Of
the great American republic, TO give
the people honest and wen admins
tered government.

A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

The United States government will
do what it can TO protect the lives and
property of Americans resident in
Mexico. but there is a limit to what
it can do in the way Of prevention.
Unless an armed force is maintain
ed in Mexico it will be impossible TO
prevent Mexicans so disposed from
killing Americans and destroying their
property. About all it can do is TO
take measures to obtain redress.
Redress doesn't help dead people
though it may comfort their heirs. if
they have the patience and longevity
to await the settlement of their
claims.
War gives rise to many claims of
this character. but governments are
slow to recognize them. Some of the
claims growing out of the civil war
are still unsettled. Possibly if probed
the pigeon holes of the government
archives would give revolutionary
war claims that have not been ad-
justed.
Americans in Mexico can scarcely
escape heavy property loss. They
will be fortunate to get off with their
lives. Though his presence in Mexico
is blessing to the people. by giving
them employment and teaching them
better ways of living. the gringo is not
welcome there. Mexicans are envi-
Gus of his success.
In Sonora laws for the confiscation
Of lands held by aliens have been
passed and the act has stirred the
government at Washington more than
any other feature Of the Mexican sit
uation. Care will have to be taken
that a precedent isn't established for
the Japanese for their grivance in
resisting California laws.
These conditions create complica-
tions that make the Mexican question
difficult one to handle.

Look" cried one of the three chill
dren as they came to a standstill in
front of a strange, trelliced tower that
seemed TO rise up into the sky.
''Sh-h-h." cried another. Some
one is ringing the big bell inside
They all looked and what do you
think they saw.
Why. they saw a great, great bell.
The bell swinging to and fro in an
enclosed space inside the tower door.
They crept up closer and peeped
in, fearfully.
Whom do you think they saw?
A great, strong man? A monster
with four heads?
No, just a group OF the busiest,
cutest, queerest pigmies Of fairyland
you could imagine. They were the
mysterious ringers. This was the
secret.
Why was the bell there? Why did
the pigmies ring il every night? Why
had no one ever found it before?
Because il was a device OF the
fairies TO help the children to remem-
Der TO go home at darkness.
Grown folks had always looked for
IL before. But when the children
sought it they found it. because 1t
was for them.

was eternally assuming a schoolmist-

not really laughed for many days

merriment took flame from some
sleepy remark. In that precise psy-
Geological moment, all planted by the
fateS, Tommy North came down the
hall on his way to dinner. The laugh
arrested him dead. The gaslight was
on her hair so that it tUmbled over
her head-"like a heap of pulled mo-
lasses candy" he told himself. The
door opened then. She vanished like
golden fairy caught in a mist OF va

A minute later, Tommy North was

Now the others were come. Miss

said: "Well, you're out Of your last

plainly thrilled by the proximity OF
