To co To WAR
WITH MEXICO
Fourteen Warships OF Coast Of
Country Can Quickly Land
Over 5000.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The
American Government is now pre-
pared for eventualities in Mexico. Ad-
ministration officials scout the idea of
war with the Southern Republic, but
there was a distinct feeling of relief
to-day when it became known that
the advance preparations of the war
and Navy Departments had been
completed.
The fourteen warships off the coast
of Mexico can land more than 5000
men as soon as the word is flashed
that makes such action necessary.
There are nearly 5000 soldiers along
the border or within striking distance.
Secretary of State Bryan to-day
emphatically denied the report from
Vera Cruz that this Government had
protested to Great Britain against the
sending of the British squadron to
Mexico.
Il consider it as outrageous that
statements of this kind should be
made without any attempt to verify
them" said the Secretary. 1.-THE state
ment that the State Department pro-
tested against the action of Great
Britain in sending two warships to
Mexican waters is absolutely false,
and in denying this statement, | de-
sire to add a condemnation of the
publication Of statements of this kind
withaut taking time to inquire into
the truth or falsity Of them"

Huertd Valiant With Cup;

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 22.-By COM

"A Plain Old Indian"

phrase OF which Huerta is fond in
allusion to himself and his democrat

The Jockey Club hosts laughed
feebly, as though they didn't quite

Huerta talked in much the same
fashion at the dinner given in his
honor in the American Embassy a
few days before the then Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson was summoned TO
Washington. Wilson wanted Huerta

Huerta men are not pretty to look at

These smeary warriors chatter with
barefooted peon women for bananas
and other fruit in front of the Pres

skins and cigarette ends, and play
tricks on one another all through their
watch, when there is no urgency for
them to act otherwise.
All the time, however, they keep a

GOOD RECRUITS

Even If the threatened war with
Mexico never becomes anything more
than rather doubtful promise, the
United States Army will be benefited
by the scare, thinks Lieutenant ]. A.
Galoogly, in charge of the Atlanta re-
cruiting station.
Men who make real soldiers, the
fighters, the adventures, the most
courageous, come into the army when
war talk is in the air." he said yes
terday. There is an element of ro-
nance in the makeup of the men who
enlist when war is near. They are
eager to fight, are eager to plunge
into the dangers and hardships of a
campaign. 1t is likely that there are
never better armies than those re-
cruited under the present stress Of
war.
Brings Good Men,.
ut is easy to see an influx of men
of this sort not that there is talk OF

harder, more desirable soldiers now

who are made of the stuff that
prompted the old time soldier of for

Lieutenant Galoogly, however, says
that the war scare, while helping the
regular army on the score of the
quality of its recruits, has made no
appreciate difference in the quanti-
ty of enlisted men. For the last four
months, he said, there have been 101
men to enlist each month in the At
lanta recruiting office or it's stations
throughout Alabama and Georgia.
This Is considerab BILE of an increase
over the figures for enlistment

Independence Necessary

The Arizona Democrat in an ed itorial under the caption Statehood On Trial" unsparingly arrignes the the democratic administration, both executive and legislative, and the pity of 1t is that what the Democrat says of the administration short comings ard sins of omission are true.
 We are not surprised, however, that Arizona's first experience in self government is sad disappoint- ment, as the writer for years before the territory was admitted to the union of states predicted that it would be, aware, as he was, of the vagaries and Responsibility of the average Arizona politician, no mat ter what party he trained with. It is this class of political incompe- tents that we find filling no. only the appointive offices, but many of the elective offices, as we'll chosen by the people themselves, and as long as voters hold party success above honest and efficient govern ment, no improvement in the ad- ministration of public affairs need be looked for. Partisan zeal is the bane of American politics and no- where is it more in evidence than in Arizona.
 The remedy lies in independent political action by the responsible people of the s'ate. In no other way can an efficient and economical administration state affairs be ob- tained. Globe Record.

SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1913

THE olive branch being handed out by Don Lorenzo Hubbell, boss of the standpat republicans in Ari- zona, to the progressives, will do little good, so far as again welding together the republican party in this state. So long as such men as Hubbell and politicians of his class are in control of the republican party in this state, there is very little prospect of uniting the party. The following from a southern Arizona progressive expresses the opinion of every true progressive:
 "The time for Hubbell to have made this move was last summer, in Tucson. The Roosevelt people had great majority of the delegates to the republican state convention. but Hubbell and his friends, with con testing delegates, held convention in the same hall while we were hold ing ours. A contesting delegation was sent to Chicago and was seated by the Taft supporters, who were in control ofthe party machinery. Hub bell and his standpat republicans should have offered some kind of a compromise at that time instead of now, after both parties have been beaten"
Williams news., 1913-05-03

THE announcement of Postmaster General Burleson that the admins tration will not remove postmasters of any class for political reasons has caused consternation in the army of the faithful waiting for the "pie'' to be cut. No doubt there are many incompetents appointed by the last administration now holding office under the national government, and these should, and doubtless will be removed, but efficient public ser wants ought to be retained in their positions. The old spells system that has so long disgraced American politics should be entirely wiped out and the civil service laws apr
 piled and made effective in all branches of the federal government.
 This policy may seem revolutionary to the spoilsmen, but it is necessary to the honest and efficient admins
 tration of public affairs. The man
 who has made good should be re- tained in the public service. .--G Globe Record.
