gradually put in effect plans for the dis
tribution and employment Of the marine
corps recently recommended by the Cen
eral Board OF the navy and approved by
Secretary Daniels
This involves the reduction of the
number Of marines in the Philippines, at
Pearl Harbor and Panama to force jus.
sufficient to guard the property under the
control OF the Navy Department; also a
slight decrease in the legation guard at
Picking when conditions In China will
warrant.
The marine brigade in the Philippines
consists at present OF nearly 800 men, and
this force will eventually be reduced TO
about $50 men. which Is n suitable num-
Der for duty az a guard for the grounds
and buildings at the naval stations at
Olongapo and Cavite.
These changes are made in order that
men may be available for the establish
ment OF advance base stations. where
large bodies OF marines Will be concen-
trated and kept ready for instant service
whenever they may be required.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-There is much
dissatisfaction among officers OF the
United States Marine Corps over the plan
being adopted by the Navy Department
for a redistribution OF the marine forces
and particularly the withdrawal OF ma
rines from the Philippines and Panama
II is feared that this redistribution may
come to mean that the marines Will lose
their function as the force which is al

Following an investigation into the
methods Of poor relief in the town Of
Cortlandt. Westminster County. the Peeks-
kill Board of Trade has adopted resolu-
ton asking the Westchester Board OF SUI
pervisors and the countys legislative rep
resentatives TO urge the Governor and the
Legislature 10 revise the poor laws so
that they would more nearly meet present
day needs
The committee of the Board Of Trade
which made the investigation reported
that 80 per cent of the money expended in
poor relief in Cortlandt could be saved
at the same time giving more humane
and efficient care to the towns DEPEND
ents. The committee believes that similar
conditions exist not only in other towns
Of the county, but also in other counties
Its report stated that, in the opinion OF
the committee. the poor laws Of the state
ARE antiquatcd inefficient and expensive
in their administration and wholly IN
adapted TO modern conditions and needs.

HuERTA AND MAMMALIAN.

Gen. CarranZa, now the most conspicuous of Mexican reV0lu- 4iOnists, has drcrced that the law of January D, 1862, shall be en- forced against Gen. IIuerta. and his associates when they are cap tured. That law provides that any attempt on the life of the chief magistrate, or any cnm- plicity in a ScditiouS uprising, shall be punished with summary execution. \ dispatch from Eagle Pass says that this law is called the Law of MaXimilian, and that under it the Austrian usurpcr was put tu death. Facts do not warrant that statement. Under the law of 1862 Maximilian would have been shot without the eX- pcnse and delay of a protractcd trial by court-martial.
 MaXimilian. to whom the inn perial crown was first rendered July 10, 1863, and by whom it was accepted April 10, 1864, pro- muIgated in October, 1865, law providing that "all partisans of the Liberal government" (mean- ing all the patriotic Mexicans of that hour taken with arms in their hands should be treated as outlaws and summarily eXecut- ed.'' That law was cruelty en- forced. Many Mexicans were ac- tually murdered during the re- mainder of MaXimilian'S troubled reign. That was the chief charge against him, and the one which compelled President Juarez to ig- nore all appeals for the dethron- ed emperor's pardon. There were many other grave charges, all proved. But the decree of De- tober 3, 1865, was the significant Law of Maximilian, and it was the boomerang which in it's back ward flight smote him to death.
 If Carranza captures Huerta, or if Huerta captures Carranza, doubtless the victor will put the vanquished where he can do. no more harm. But neither will bother much to find a historical precedent for his act.

WHO PAYS TAXES TO KEEP

When a new bridge is needed, a road must be repaired, a fire hall is to be built, where does the money come from? Do the mail order houses pay it? Hard 1y. They will not even send a contribution to help buy bell for the new church OF to help a Fourth of July celebration. They pay no taxes in this town, and they are not concerned in it's prosperity.
 This town must be supported by it's residents and those who live in the immediate vicinity. If they insist on sending their money away then they are help ing to kill their town, and they are making it harder for them to pay the taxes necessary to main- tain local government and to make local improvements.
 You owe something to your self, and you owe something to your neighbOrs. You can help yourself by helping your neigh bors. You can't injure your neighbors without injuring your self. When you send money to mail order houses you are hurt ing your town, your neighbors and yourself.
