The newspaper men believed other

Washington. Dec. Ex-senator
Catron., of New Mexico, has return
ed to Washington from a personal
Investigation of conditions in Mex
leo convinced that whatever is the
outcome of the present insurrection,
intervention by the United States is
the inevitable end OF the situation.
"The conditions in Mexico are
worse than they were in Cuba when
We intcrvened In that island in be.
half OF humanity" said Senator Cat
ron, who Is member Of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs. In Mex
leo at the present time there is
more human suffering. there has
been greater loss of life and great
or amount of property destroyed
than in Cuba previous to the war
of 1898. And most of the property
in Mexico belonged to citizens OF
the United States. Few Americans
lost their lives in Cuba before the
Spanish War, and but little property
belonging to the citizens Of this
country was destroyed during the
insurrections in that island. but the
loss Of American lives In Mexico
since the present disturbance began
has been appalling,
while loss of property Is a sec
ondary consideration, it is fact
that two ffths Of the property OF
Mexico, amounting to something
like $l,O3S,OOO. 900 at the beginn-
ing Of the present disturbances, has
been destroyed or shrunk in value to
less than one third of its former
value. If present conditions con
tinue or Mexico is at peace under
conditions which will surely pre-
vail unless the United States inter
venes, the property of the Americ-
ans In Mexico is not worth ten mil
lions.'
While Senator Catron was In
Mexico ne had an interview with
General villa, his knowledge ol
Spanish enabled him to understand
the Mexican General and to tall
with him understandingly. Th,
Senator told Villa that this countr!

What Old Caesar Did.

Here is little prose poem on:
an important question. which
has been floating around in Colo;
RADIO.
When Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gauls for.
Rome, what was the first thing
that he did to make them feel at
home? Did he increase the peo-'
ple's loads and liberty forbid?,
No, he dug in and built good
roads that's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
upon the TO mans breast, or did
he try to make them feel the.
Roman rule was best? What
did he do to make them 81; d,
he'G come their midst amidst?
He built good roads in place Of.
bad that's what old Caesar did. !:
He built good roads from hill
to hill, good roads from yale to
vale; he ran a good roads move.
ment till old Rome got all the
kale. He told the folks to buy
home, build roads their hills
amid, until all roads led up to
Rome that's what old Caesar
did.
If any town would make the
town the center of the map,
where folks will come and settle
down and live in plenty's lap, if
any town, it's own abode of pow
erty would rid, let it get out and
build good roads-just like old
Caesar did.

motion. and he went away with
tear-dimlned eyes.
When the Democrats first dis
covered these outrageous eva
sions of the law, a cry went up
from Congress for the adoption
Of retalitory measures. Resolu-
tions were introduced in the
House and Senate demanding an
investigation to be followed by a
general housekeeping. For a
time the civil service seemed
doomed. But saner counsel pre-
vailed, Two wrongs do not make
a right, The fact that our oppo-
nents, drunk with power, fouted
the law would not justify the
Democracy in weakening a sys-
TEN which received its first gen.
uine official Endorsement from a
Democratic President.
President Wilson is determined
to build up and not tear down.
A new civil Service commission
was named, and a new life was
breathed into the department.
From now on, we are to have
genuine civil service reform.
Examination are to be on the lev
ell, promotions will be based on
merit, and Republicans and Dem
|ocrats alike will receive a square
deal.
There still remains the specter
of the superanuated employe.
Shall it be a pension or the poor
house for him?
1t must be one or the other. for
the administration is determined
to vitaliZe every department of
