Joined together, let no man put assun-

admonition is seen in the report that
in the United States during 1912 over
100, 600 divorces were granted, and in
the last forty years 100000 adults
were legally separated.

The Peril of Pedestrians.

Maj. Sylvester. in his annual report dis
cussiRg the subject of street accidents,
states that many mishaps to pedestrians
result from failure to cross at the estab-
lished intersections. This is perhaps
true, and Vet il is a question whether the
pedestrians who do select the designated
place Of crossing are sufficiently protected
now under the traffic regulations as they
are enforced II is seldom that rapidly
moving vehicle checks at street cross
ing. The pedestrians are told that they
cross other points than street intersec-
tions at their own risk. and the inference
is that they cross under protection at the
intersections. As matter of fact, in
actual daily experience. the pedestrian is
al his own risk even at street crossings.
H. must not only use ordinary care in
getting over so as TO avoid the street cars
hich have right of way, but he must be
extraordinarily careful to dodge rapidly
moving motors and wagons The sup
posed rule that gives the pedestrian a
measurable right Of way at street cross
inss is violated continually. and thus
there is no real force in the suggestion
conveyed BY the rule that pedestrians
should select the intersection points as
their points of crossing the streets.

The Whipping Post.

''The whipping post is a disgrace to

four negroes. convicted of robbery. re-

The Mexican Puzzle.

Mexico City continues to supply the
chief developments in the international
situation, while Washington remains in
quiescent position. There has been
no positive action by the United States
since the announcement to Provisional
President Huerta that this government
expects him to retire from the Mexican
administration. Meanwhile Huerta has
given every indication of a determina-
tion to remain at the head of the Mex
lean government and to influence the
selection OF a successor, If any is
chosen. He has insisted upon the as
semblage of the new congress despite
the plain inclination that the United
States regards this as inimical to plans
for the establishment of a stable rep
reSentative government in Mexico. His
latest action in virtual defiance of the
United States is the dismissal of
Adalpe. minister of the interior who
has recently been endeayorinG to bring
about an adjustment of the difficulty
through the retirement of Huerta. Thus
the case now stands with Huerta resist
ing the United States demand, with the
congress in session and with every
indication of persistence in the pro-
gram of organization under the direct
and unquestioned domination of Huerta
A few days ago il seemed possible
that the United States might find a
way to solve the problem by reaching
an understanding with the constitu-
tionalists under Gen. Carranza, with
whom a conference was held. The re
suit of that conference, however, has
been unsatisfactory. Carranza could
give no guarantees for the establish
ment of a stable government in Mex
leo provided his faction were granted
the right TO procure arms and muni-
tions in this country. On the other
hand. he assured the Presidents rep
-esentative. il is stated that he would
regard as an act of war any move on
the part of any foreign nation to in
terfere in the interior affairs of Mexico
and would resist il to the utmost. 1t

the negotiations in that quarter un-

The Special Republican Convention.

II is the general expectation that the
coming special republican national con-
vention will reduce the southern repre-
sentation in those bodies to conform to
republican conditions in that section.
Those conditions are well known, and for
years have been vexations in presidential

and systematic effort ever brought to
bear on men from their section to seduce
them from the duty with which they
had been charged by their constituents.
Harried by contests carefully trumped
up, and some of them tempted with
money at Chicago, they stood to their In
structions as firmly as the delegates from
other sections, and voted as they had
promised upon receiving their commits
sions. They sawa as others did, that a
crisis was at hand and a bolt imminent,
but they neither flunked nor sold out
They had been regularly chosen. and
proved themselves worthy of confidence
But. of course, after helping to nomi-
nate Mr. Taft they could do nothing for
him at the polls. They counted for moth
ing at the balIot-box. Neither could they
have done anything there for Mr.. Roose-
Welt if they had yielded to the biandish-
ments of mis- friends at Chicago and gone
over to him. 1t was only idle chatter
that promised Mr. Roosevelt the electoral
votes of several southern states in case
of his triumph over Mr.. Taft at the ma
tional convention. Mr.. Wilson swept the
SOUTH as Mr.. Clark, Mr. Underwood, Gov.
Harmon, Gov. Marshall or any. other
democrat bearing that party's standard
would have done.
The debate on this proposition when the
special convention takes it up will prob
ably be interesting. and may develop
some heat. Among the southern repub-
Hcans are some able men, and in their
opposition to reduced representation
they may go into the history of why
they and their friends have been render
ed powerless at home. But that the
proposition will prevail seems reason
ably assured.

This is on the order of the recipe for

Mr. Cummins' opinion, the first thing to
do is to lay the foundations for an agree
ment. After that has been done will be
time enough TO discuss men suitable 10

contest.
To a certain extent this is persuasive
enough. Without union the republican
party can hope for nothing in 1916. Divi-
sion caused its defeat last year. caused

and while il lasts will cause defeat In
future The case is that of house
divided against itself. 1t cannot stand.

racy will be assured of control as long
as the opposition is satisfied to defeat

Huerta's Desperate Stand.

From the New York World.
In striking once more the attitude Of
defiance Huerta merely shows again how
desperate is his position. In forcing the
resignation of the latest member of his
cabinet who has dared to advise mod
Grafton he merely again informs a watch
ing world of the rapidly contracting
bounds of support among his own chosen
followers In convening the illegal con-
gress which it had suited his purposes
to recognize. he secured obedience only
from a chamber of deputies that had
been packed with members of his own
staff and officeholders of his personal ere
alton. The senate failed to meet, as he
had ordered What it may do later makes
little difference. The elections which
Huerta declared invalid as regards the
presidency because too few precincts took
part in the voting cannot be made regu-
lar in respect to Huerta's congress by
any grotesque logic of dictator who
knows the end of his power is near.

Saturdays Shameful Spectacle.

If college sport were necessarily ac-

in Washington Saturday night, when

ing soiace for the bitterness of defeat. vio
lated the excise law and turned the down.
town streets into a pandemonium, then
college sport would need to be abol-
ished. 1t is not to be acknowledged how
ever, that the sport is itself accountable
for the shocking spectacle. The game
itself has been modified until it is COM
paratively safe. but the after effects of
a game between two traditional rivals
are such as to arouse feelings of pro-
found disgust and disheartenment. For
hours the business streets of the city
were filled Saturday night with riotously
inclined youths wearing college colors,
probably many of them in no wise con-
nected with the universities whose repre-
sentative teams had fought on the grid
iron field in the afternoon. but seeking
merely TO display partisanship by putting
on the distinctive ribbons. The fact that
nearly a hundred arrests were made dur
ing the night for drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct on the part of the wear
ers of these colors is proof sufficient of
the demoraliZing effect of the PARTISAN
ship. If the disorder We're occasioned
merely by natural high spirits, induced
by the game itself. there would be little
ground for complaint, however disagree
able il might be to have the streets occu-
pied by mobs until a late hour. But there
was only too strong evidence Saturday
night that the high spirits displayed were
due to unusual potations. That the ex-
else law was broken repeatedly in the
serving of liquor to minors cannot be
questioned. The dispensers of liquor
We're unquestionably careless in their dis
elimination between adults and juveniles

was an orgy of youthful intoxication that

vidual offenders who caused trouble Sat
urday night, together with the imposing
of penalties upon liquor dealers who vio-
lated the excise law, proves to be inef-
fectual in checking this disturbance in
the future, it will be necessary to con-
sider the advisability of prohibiting an
annual contest which draws so large a
crowd of partisan spectators and leads
despite police activity and watchfulness
to such riotous and shameful scenes
