The latest noble effort on the
part of some astute politician is to
have the fathers officially recog-
nized by the government, by set
ting aside a day for the old man.
The sentiments of the country
readily recognize the usefulness,
the goodness, the beauty, the
righteousness and the glory of
pa, regardless of race, color or
previous condition of servitude.
We have mothers days, Columbus
days, carnation days, wash days,
dog days, potato days and all sorts
of special days for everything
and everybody, but poor old dad
has been neglected.

MEXICO,S FUTURE

On paper, Mexico has a fine
constitution. Almost every con-
ceivable human right is safe
guarded. Even in the matter of
presidential elections, the people
have more guarantees than the
people of the United States.
The trouble with the constitu-
tion of Mexico is that it works
only when the man who may call
himself president or dictator,
sets it in motion. When he in
terferes, the constitution becomes
a blank.
This fact explains the strange
results of the recent election. By
the constitution there is univer-
sal suffrage; yet few voted. By
the constitution congress must
determine the results; yet there
is no congress. By the constitu-
tion, Huerta, the present dicta-
tor, could not be elected; yet, as
he is in place, he may decide to
hold on indefinitely.
In the northern states Of Mex
leo, in which are centered most
of the intelligence and wealth of
the country, to say nothing of
foreign investments, there is a
constitutionalism which rests up
on bayonets. 1t is everywhere
admitted that this is gaining
ground. 1t refuses to yote-it
does not hesitate to fight. There
is not a true constitution on earth
that is not sustained by men who
fight.
Persons in the United States
and Europe who cannot under
stand President Wilson's policy
south Of the Rio Grande may find
enlightenment in the study of
conditions in the Mexican states
that are controlled by the consti-
tutionalists. In that section Mr..
Huerta does not rule outside of
his camps. When they shall have
expelled him altogether, it is pos
sible the purposes of the admin
istration at Washington will be
clearer than they are today.

OVERTHROW OF TAMMANY

The defeat of Tammany in
New York is a great victory for
decent government. This cor
rupt organization which has con-
trolled New York city absolutely
and the state when the Demo
cratic party was in power at AL
bany, has placed the appointive
power in the hands of one man,
Charles F. Murphy, who rose
from the position of bartender to
boss of Tammany Hall. The
head of Tammany receives no
salary. Murphy has lived in
luxury and accumulated a fortune
without any visible means of
support. What better testimony
could one produce than this to
show that Tammany is a corrupt
organization for the perpetuation
of graft?

The express companies have
feathered their nests SO richly at
the expense of the long-suffering
American public that even if
they were put entirely out of
business by the parcel post they
would still be able to pay their
stockholders good dividends out
of their investments of surplus.
There seems to be no good reason
therefore for treating these con-
Germs so tenderly. The fact is
the express business in this coun-
try has always been an inexcus-
able graft, for which the unlucky
citizen has had to pay both going
and coming.

u. s. Can Arm Half
Million Men for War

The war plans of the army

the history of the country, IN
Gle Sam is in readiness at a mo-
ment's notice to arm and equip J
million men to send into the field

These plans have been worked
out in the last six years by Lieut..
Col. J. 7. Thompson of the ord
nance department under the
direction of Brig. Gen. William
Crosier, chief of the bureau.
Colonel Thompson pointed out
that his war plan" is based
upon conditions as they would
actually exist in the event of
hostilities. The line of the reg
ular army would be increased to
its maximum enlisted strength
as provided by law, the entire
organized militia of the country

they first make mad," and Hen
messy made Murphy mad, so mad
in fact that he came out into the
open and fought his accusers.
Tammany could not afford to
fight in the open and when Muir
ply entered the arena for a fair
fight, he was easily defeated.
Why New York has submitted
to the yoke of such a corrupt or
gauization for years is mystery.
The Mayor has been simply a
puppet in Murphy's hands. He
was permitted to sign papers and
draw his salary. Murphy did
the rest. When Sulzer rebelled
and refused to follow the dicta-
tion of Murphy, the Tammany
boss who had the goods on the
governor, threw him out. But
Tammany had gone too far and
despite his stock speculations,
Justification of campaign state
ments and application of contri-
buttons to the purchase of stocks,
Sulzer was able to profit by the
revolt against Tammany and Sc
cure reelection to office, although
forced to appropriate the Pro
gressive nomination to do so.
Tammany has suffered a de-
cisive defeat. Will Murphy re-
gain his power? Tammany can
not exist without offices and
there will be no city Offices for
Murphy to distribute after the
first Of the year. With a repub-
lican legislature, Governor Glynn
will not be inclined to listen to
the dictates of the Tammany
boss and the next few years
promise to be very lean for Tam
many hall. Can New York starve
out the Tiger?

The State Normal won her initial
contest yesterday afternoon by defeat
ing the Conway High School bunch,
score II to 6. The weather was toe
cold for fast ball, however, and the
game was devoid of features with the
exception of stick work. GOA of the
Normal was the bright star in this
particular, annexing two triples and
as many singles in four trips to the
plate. Sipe also raped the pill, get
ting a single, double and a triple out
of four times at bat. None of the
high school lads were able to hit safe
ly more than once, only six hits being
registered against the pedagogues'
twirler.
To start the game, Coach Scott sent
Joslin in to do the mound duty for the
props, but the teachers pounded the
youngster dreadfully. He was reliev-
ed by Moore after two outs were made.
The Normalites made seven hits off
Moore, but he kept them well scat

Sipe pitched good game for Nor

safeties. He made nine opponents
