Gently been holding down the job OF
postmaster at Bebee, Arkansas. This is
the postmaster who informed a con

had refused to contribute an unreasOn-
able sum of money demanded of him by

publican party. He has since been re-
moved because the affairs Of his Office
were found to be in disorder" Nature
of disorder not stated. Thus again we
are face to face with a problem that is
as ancient as history. Did the man tes-

his affairs were out of order. or were his
affairs discovered to be out of order be-
cause he testified against the admins
tration? Which ever theory we adopt
the fact remains that the man has lost

o LIKE PEACE

The reports from Mexico to date,
seem to indicate the question of peace
or war, as between the United States
and Mexico, has been settled in favor of
peace.
However it is a bit too early to fore
cast the situation there to the entire sat
isfaction of all concerned.
What will be the attitude of the par
ties in power toward the Americans,
will they be in a position to guarantee
a peaceable government, and can they
bring all the widely scattered leaders
of the rebelS III various parts of the
state into harmonious relations with one
another and with whatever government
results from the spectacular fall Of
Madero this week?
! All these are important questions, and
some of them may be answered before
they appear in print.
The symptoms, SO far as the city of
Mexico is involved, look good from the
American standpoint.
1t is undoubtedly true that the good
offices of our representatives in Mexico
Wy WHY uSCu vi tLC SltC vi SdlClN
and humanity. There can be no doubt
that Americans believed that Madero
ought to resign. Not perhaps because
they disliked him, but because they saw
he could not control the situation. They
did what they could to persuade him to
that step. All this seems to have been
understood by the people of the city, and
it is Ominous of good to come to read
that the American flag was cheered in
the streets.
Another hopeful sign is in the fact
that Americans on their way home, can
celed their orders for passage the mo-
ment they heard of the fall of MaderO.
These people gre perhaps as well able
to understand the situation as any other
people in that country.
OrOzco, Zapata, Gomez and SalaZar
are still factors in the problem that is
to be solved. Whether they will, each
on his OH initiative, carry on a partisan
warfare, remains to be seen.

Austin, Texas, Feb. Colon. John w.
Woods, representing the 121st district
in the lower house, has introduced a bill
providing for compulsory education of
children between the ages of 8 and IA
years. The legislature has been giving
preferred attention to educational mat
ters n some of the strongest members
OF the body are on the committees deal
ing with educational subjects.
Many interesting statistics and in
structive comparisons have been pre-
scented to Mr.. Woods, who is authority
on educational matters as well as an
earnest friend of the children. Only 50
per cent Of our scholastic population is
enrolled in school and the average
schooling now received by each child in
Texas IS 30 days per annum. The bill
provides one hundred and twenty days
school per year for each child, but school
trustees are permitted to reduce the
compulsory attendance to - DAYS if they
see proper. In California the average
nnmber of days schooling each child re-
ceives is % and the expenditure per cap
tia OF average attendance is $500
againt $3.50 in Texas.
The passage of the bill will result in
practically doubling the school attend
nee in this state.

insanity, and confined for a number of
