intervention" says the Philadel phia North American, would mean the paciication of horned toads scorpions, soldados, rurales, vigilantes haciendados, caballeros, peons, tortil' las and senoritas. Can we afford to take such a contract?"
 This is a whimsical, if forceful, way of calling attention to the fact that if we go into Mexico to restore peace and establish orderly government we will be tackling many intricate con- ditions and problems about which we know little or nothing, but it does not answer the question, Can we afford to take such contract?" The Ameri- can people do not want intervention and the administration at Washing ton is doing it's utmost to avoid it. We do not hope for the job of pacify- ing horned toads, but if duty calls. we can certainly afford to take the contract and see that it is fulfilled to the last letter of the specifications.

 Tape Cut.

Chief Signal Officer Dougherty, of the local cable office, has succeeded in cutting the red tape which pre- vented the receiving of wireless press messages by Alaska papers and today the first press by wireless was received by the Prospector. Ar engagements have been made with the Navy wireless to handle all messages giv them by the Signal Corps and to accept a proportionate percentage of the rate charged by the cable line.
 Had this been done the first day of the break, the people of the north and the papers would have hardly noticed the break. Messages are now sent to Sitka from Seattle via the cable and are sent to Whiteshed by wireless and then again placed upon the cable line.

 George ". while prince and resid- ing in his Brighton palace kept in his bedroom a portrait of Mrs. Gum, an old bathing woman who used to dip him into the sea when he was the little Prince of Wales. A picture book much prized by children in England in those days showed the old lady bathing the little fellow. Beneath the picture was this stanza:
 To Brighton came he,
 Came George the Thirds son,
 To be dipped in the sea
 By the famed Martha Gum.
 A companion portrait to Martha Gunn's was that of Thomas Sneaker. who had charge of the horse which drew the bathing machines into and out of the sea.

A Dish of Tea,

Dish" throughout the eighteenth century was colloquialism for cup. In fashionable houses at first, and for long. tea was drunk from cup with out handle brought from China. The vessel was termed a dish. When the Chinese cup was first copied by Eng fish potters, the convenience of a han de was added. The saucer also was brought from China. It received the name because of its resemblance to the English saucer platter in which sauce was served. The familiar gibe. saucer eyes," was originally inspired by the sauce saucer long before Lord Arlington gave the first tea party in England in Arlington house. where Buckingham palace stands. at the res toration period.

MYSTERY FLAGS.
Trophies That Are Souvenirs of Long
 Forgotten Battles.

Trophies That Are Souvenirs of Long
 Forgotten Battles.
 In the midst of that wonderful col lection of the souvenirs of battle that are on permanent exhibition in Trophy hall at the Naval academy in Annapo- lis are the nations unknown trophies. Flags that were captured in now for. gotten engagements are hung in the cases side by side with those whose glorious history is known.
 Two of these souvenirs of forgotten battles are British flags. One Is a jack marked Avon and nothing more; the other is the ensign of warship and is marked Hereford. From the condition of both of these flags it is supposed that they date back to the war of 1872, but history gives no rec ord of ships bearing those names be- ing sent to American waters by Great Britain.
 Another of the mystery flags is the 1914" flag In great white figures this number appears on a field of blue, and the entire flag is bordered with red From some engagement in the war with the Moorish pirates the flag that the officers at Annapolis came to call the "house flag" seems to have come Yet no one knows where that battle was fought or under what circum- stances of heroic sacrifice it was added to the long list of the trophies of our naval victories.

Clearing Up History.

As part of the squabble over the worlds decisive battles n reader comes forward with the statement that Wa tcrloo decided nothing If Napoleon Bonaparte had won the battle he would have been crushed few days later Yet everybody concerned went through the fight. as if it really meant something. It is strange how much clearer we see some things the further we get away from them.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

THE PRESIDENTS IDEALlsM.

As historian MT. Wilson must re- member, says the New York Sun, that the real if not the professed pur- pose of the Mexican war, brought on by the Democratic party. was con- quest for the purpose of extending slavery. Unkind foreign observers might perhaps find state or two in the United States where the con- sent of the governed means what it means in some republics to the South, the dominance of small class. Unkind observers in those republics reproach the United States with vio- fence and bloodshed, with it's lynch ings, it's frequent homicides, it's mas sacres Of Italians and Chinese. Pos sibly it might be we'll for the United States to revise it's own morality be- fore assuming the part, naturally of fensive to other nations on this hem isphere, of radiating moral influences on them.
 The generous feeling in MT. Will sons words is evident, but how many governments are not stained with blood?" If no bloodstained govern ments are to endure, what an over turning, what a world of revolution must result.
 MT. Wilson will remember that Dante punishes fraud more severely than violence If the boot had been on the other leg, might not Don POrfirio DiaZ instead of having to wait long for recognition by the Hayes ad- ministration, have refused to recog- nize an executive, as the elder Char les Francis Adams wrote, must for ever bear on his brow the stamp of fraud for the first time triumphant in our history"
 These remarks are made in no spir- it of captious criticism. A college address is not an official policy. MT. Wilson expresses his aspirations for the future of his country. A coun- try that should make it it's business to mind that of other nations might have to find in the consciousness of it's high ethical volunteer missionary spirit recompense for peck of trou- ble

FALLING WALLS
KILL SHOPPERS
Eight Persons Crushed to Death
at Mckinney, Tex.

Mckinney, Tex, Jan. 24.-Eight
persons we're killed and fifteen seri
ously injured here when the walls OF
a building occupied by a farm nipple
ment concern fell in and crashed into
an adjoining department store, caus.
ing that structure to collapse.
The dead are: Rosa Walsh, Miss
Katie Milligan, Miss Bessie Wade,
Russell Height, four years old; N. R.
Presley, clerk; Miss Mary Stiff, clerk;
Leslie Bush, Allen, Tex; Miss Eva
Searcy, clerk.
The last two died after being re.
moved from the wrecked building.
Scores of persons were trapped in
the department store, conducted by
the Cheeves company, when the build.
ing collapsed. A sale was in progress
at the time. Flames quickly swept
the wreckage and it was first believed
that fifty persons had been killed.
The department store occupied
three stories of the Odd Fellows
building and the adjoining structure,
two stories of which were used by
the Cheeves company, was occupied
by the implement firm.

WOMEN PLANNING
REIGN or Terror
English Sutfragettes AIIege Pc.
IiticaI Trickery.

London, Jan. 2S.-England is on
the brink of another campaign by the
su%ffragettes in comparison with which
former outbreaks of the militant wom-
en- will appear insignificant.
The women believe that the politi-
clans have played a carefully studied
trick upon them in the decision Of
the government to drop the franchise
bill and the action is likely to lead
to serious consequences.
The suffragettes held heated meet
ings. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst and
other leaders denounced both the
enemies and supporters of suffrage
in the cabinet for their treachery.
They declared an end of the truce
which the women had observed while
awaiting parliament's action on the
bill.
Deeds, not words" was the motto
displayed above the platform where
Mrs. Pankhurst spoke. She asserted
that the women would consider hui
man life sacred, but would do as
much damage to property as possible.
Some of her lieutenants failed to
agree with her policy. Miss Annie
Kenny, n of the most prominent Of
the militants, advocated the smashing
OF both property and heads.

Bank Will Aid Several in Attending
Convention.
Scholarships for the full grown and
experienced farmers are the newest
thing to develop in connection with
North Dakota's Corn and Glover con-
vention and midwinter fair to be held
in Grand Forks, Feb. 3 to 8. One Of
the progressive banks in the central
part of the state has started the move
ment and have written their Grand
Forks correspondent asking for full
particulars regarding the convention.
The plan of this bank is to send
several of the progressive farmers Of
that community to the Grand Forks
meeting. Since there are compare
lively few farmers institutes this bank
feels that more can be accomplished
by sending a few good men into this
large meeting where facilities and in
struction will be Of the best. These
men when they return to their homes
can tell their neighbors what they
have seen and heard and in this way
the whole neighborhood will be bene-
flied.
This bank will pay railroad fares
for several men and will ask other
business men in the same town to
send one or more men each. There
is every Indication that there will be
an attendance of at least 500 a day
at the big gathering.
