Rebel Victory at Nogales

Nogales is on the border 1T is IN
the Mexican state Of Sonora, and II
has fallen into the hands of men who
are fighting against the Huerta-FeliX
Diaz regime. General Huerta con-
tinues to negotiate with Orozco and
Zapata and he may be able to bring
about peace. The country is in state
of unrest, however, and the victory OF
General Obregon at Nogales will rem
der the pacification of northern Mex
leo difficult.
President Wilson is endeavoring to
keep out of the insurrectionary con-
ditions of Mexico. He plainly desires
to see the Mexicans settle their own
troubles, and if they will keep hands
off Americans and American interests
this will continue to be the policy of
the new administration. Public .senti-
ment does not favor intervention.
The fighting at Nogales was along
the border and this will no doubt stir
I'D a great deal of feeling in Arizona
and perhaps in Texas, but the border
states cannot precipitate intervention
while the rest of the country is OPP
posed to it.

Shortage in the Convict Department


Not since "Honest Ike" Vincent
skipped out about 25 years ago, carry
ing away s15O,Ooo of the states
money, had Alabama been the victim
of serious official embezzlement
until Theodore Lacy, chief clerk of the
convict department, left the capital,
carrying away about 100000 in cash
and leaving sum amounting all told
to perhaps s15O,OoO unaccounted for.
Vincent was the state treasurer, and
Lacy was the disbursing officer of the
convict department. The latter came
very near being the entire convict
board.
This shortage was begun in June,
1911. For nearly two years it has
confessedly been going on, and yet
the convict board and the rest of the
state administration ask the people
of the state to believe that no one
was to blame but Theodore Lacy, a
clerk.
Governor O'Neal promises that the
investigation of the entire defalcation
shall be thorough and searching. 1t
should be, for in no other way can
the responsibility be placed where it
belongs.
If this defalcation and the checks
signed in blank lead to the placing
of the felony convicts on the roads
of the state, some good will come from
it. The leasing of convicts has long
been an evil, and the Lacy shortage
simply emphasizes that evil. The leg
islature should be convened and steps
taken to turn the convicts over to the
counties for use in the construction
of better roads. Georgia will soon be
equipped with excellent roads, while
the roads of this state are primitive
and at times impossible. This lessons
the value of property in the state,
cuts down the states own revenue, and
hinders general development. The
Lacy defalcation should hasten the
placing of the convicts on the roads.

Civil Tests for Lesser Post0ffices

While the postmasters in the presi-
Dental classes will be permitted to
serve out their respective terms, yet
It is reported that Mr.. Taft's snap
decision putting $4,000 postmasters of
the fourth class in office will in some
way be undone.
Postmaster General Burleson is
considering a plan which will soon be
laid before the President. He may
ask the President to revoke the Taft
order, but it is more likely that he
will ask that all who benefited by the
Taft order shall be required to pass
a merit system test open to all. The
latter would dislodge about all of the
Taft appointees.
The Taft order was a plain viola
ton of the spirit of civil service and
some way will assuredly be found out
of and around it. 1t will be out
thanked in some way, and perhaps the
merit test open to all is the best way
TO overcome this partisan snap judg-
ment. The man who wins an appoint
naent by merit test will assuredly re
main on the classified list.

Terrific Storms in the South

The hurricane season is at hand,
and already the south has been the
scene of damaging winds. The storm
of Thursday was felt in Texas, Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Alabama and Georgia, but fortunate
ly it did not sweep across those states.
It was general condition, rather
than a sweeping storm. Here and
there in the seven states there were
thunder showers accompanied by high
winds. These winds destroyed in small
and scattered districts good deal of
property, and perhaps from 80 to 80
persons were killed or seriously in
jured.
It was a storm condition that could
not be readily gauged by the weather
service and practically no one was
warned against it. The weather men
could not say where the prevailing
conditions would be harmless or where
they would be hurtful. The knowledge
concerning such storms is still inaccu-
rate, and no one blames attches to the
weather people concerning the recent

TO GET RID OF HOUSE FLY

From the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association.
The fly is. nuisance beside being
carrier of infectious diseases, and the at
tempt to exterminate it needs no justitca-
ton. How one can make ones home.
town or city fiyless is described by c.
f. Hodge of Clark university, Worcester.
Mass. He says that the American public
spends $1O,000,000 a year for window and
door screens in futile attempt to ex
clude a lively insect which insists on get
ting into the house every time the doors
are opened. He believes also that the
method of swatting the flies, using fly
paper or indoor traps or poisons is inef-
fective, but may help. His method is to
make use in various ways of the conical
wiremesh fly trap, which is familiar to
almost every one. in such way as to
turn the tables on the flies and put them
in jailyand let ourselves out" The plan
involves, of course. the abolition as far
as possible of all breeding and feeding
places for flies and the application of the
fly trap mentioned above to. the garbage
can, to the screens on windows. to the
covers ON manure, bins, ETC., all OF which
can be done by little mechanical inge-
nuity. Garbage cans are on the market
which have cover larger than the can
and not fitting down closely on 1t so that
the flies gain access to the can under the
cover and escape through hole in the
cover over which is fixed fly trap. In
fighting the ny, Hodge has found that the
essentials of successful campaign are
to transfer the fight against the fly from
the house to outdoors. and then to exter-
inmate it. Another essential feature in
town or city is that households must CO.
operate. One ignorant or careless home
can breed flies enough to vitiate the best
endeavors OF whole town. Hodge has
succeeded in his neighborhood in prac-
tically eliminating flies; he uses no screens
in windows and doors. and can sit out
doors or have windows or doors open at
any time without molestation. As flies
begin to breed early in the spring, and
as they breed with marvellous rapidity.

THE BEDTIME possET

From the Washington Post.
Where are the possets and the neguses
of yesteryear-those nightcap beverages
which were an accompaniment of the
bedtime candles when theye were lit in
the drawing room or the billiard room of
the early Victorian country house?
For many years it seemed that they
had vanished entirely, but now comes
a revival of the custom which provided
that no one should retire until there has
been drunk a warming draught, distilled
with the purpose of warding off the hun
dred or so ills which winter brings.
From a ragged cookery book found on
the stall of one of the Little Old Book
shops one culls a few recipes. Here is
one under the head of "A Capital Night
cap"
Drop four drops OF essence of cloves
on four Jumps of loaf sugar, add one-half
a pint of good, strong ale, wineglassful
of brandy. make it hot and drink just
before bedtime"
Under the caption of Popular Amer
lean Drinks" this venerable cookery
book provides the following:
"1he Locomotive-Beat up the yolks
of two eggs with one ounce of honey, a
few drops of essence of cloves, a liquor
glassful of Curacoa; add a pint of good
Burgundy wine, heated; whisk well to-
gether with a whisk and serve in glasses
hot.
"Floster-Mix together a gill of pale
sherry, half a gill of noveau, one ounce
of loaf sugar, and three slices of lemon.
Hot water may be added to taste. or 1t
may be drunk as cold beverage, with ice
and a bottle of iced soda water"

WHERE IT'S HARD TO CLIMB

From the Saturday Evening PostN
In Europe everybody has a definite So
cial position fixed by birth and educa-
tlon. individuals pass from one social
level to another with more facility than
is thought. Yet the vast mass of Britons,
trenchmen, Germans and so forth, pass
thelr lives on the social level where they
were born. Position is fixed. Their COM
patriots place them at a glance. This
caste makes for contentment. There is
hardly any temptation to spend for ap-
pearance, because such spending will not
lift them into a higher order. The social
values are not easily falsified. Thus two
merchants of the same class will have
retired with incomes earned in business.
They live in the same suburb. One has
$4,000 year and keeps motor car.
The other has only $4,000, and for him
a motor car is out of the question. Yet
their families associate with little envy
en- oneside or pretentousness on the
other, and to the man with 5000 year it
would seem madness to try to maintain
a touring car for the sake of appearing
as well off as his neighbor with four
times the income.
In the United States, on the contrary,
the absence of fixed social levels tends TO
encourage lavish spending People try,
by appearances and the possession of
mere things to give themselves fictitious
social values. This social counterfeit
ing, though common, in every American
community, reaches its highest develop
ment among the third class of New
Yorks spenders. Elsewhere people seem
to feel that the thing is successful if
they can put themselves into circulation
as $50 banknotes. But the metropolitan
standard of social counterfeiting is to
pass yourself off as a safe deposit box
full of gilt edge securities.

THE HousEKEEPERs MILLENNIUM

From the New York World.
Fifty families of Montclair, N. J.. arento
try cooperative housekeeping if the plans
of an enthusiastic committee do not mis-
carry. They are to hire general man
ager at $1,000 a year, a head cook at $1,000,
10 maids and 10 under cooks. Meals are
to be sent out in two converted automo-
bies, and the 10 maids are to clean
windows and do other housework for the
families in turn.
There are 739 opportunities for trouble
in this scheme. Only $120 year is al
lowed for unforeseen expenditures. II
one motor car breaks down, the other
must carry dinners to 80 families, all at
the same time. Repairs will be a pretty
penny. Housewives entitled to one-f1fth
of one maids time will find it short. No
allowance of time is made for going from
house to house. People will complain of
the cooking. Even if the dinner is
brought prepared it is some work to serve
it, and il mamma and the girls are
dressing to go to the theatre they will not
care to bother. They will want pretty
tableware of their own, and it will not
wash itself In short
Cooperative housekeeping is perfectly
feasible. Any fairly successful hotel man
could devise a workable scheme if the
families concerned really wanted cooper
alton badly enough to subordinate their
individual ways and wants. They will
not, or will not often, do 1t. They do
not actually want cooperation at the price
it costs. Few people but have at times
a fleeting fear that they might find mil
lennium dull.

Some of the private projects do not

Mr.. Hill cares little for figures,
however, when he gets started on an
idea. He talks right along regardless
of such trifles. But Mr.. Newell has Ger.
tainly demonstrated the value and eff

and he can afford to put his figures
against Mr.. Hills statements. Mr..
Hill is oftentimes not nearly SO wise

THEIR CHILDHOOD

From Tit-Bits.
1t has been said that seldom do infant
stage prodigies fulfill the expectations
of the future. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, many of our leading actresses be-
gan their stage careers when they were
children.
Ellen Terry, for instance, made her first
appearance in "a Winters Tale" when
she was s. her sister Kate when she was
Z; her niece Beatrice when she was 10,
and another niece, Minnie, when she was

Director Newell of the government

James j. Hills recent speech at

asserted that the irrigation work of
the government could be accomplished
at half the amount now expended.
Mr.. Newell calls to his defense 100
large systems recently built by the
government and by private or corpor-
ate capital. The returns from these
100 large systems show that the
private projects furnished water at an
sxGfaee Of 500 an acre, while the aver

~ few changes made in the federal Of
fees because more than so per cent Of the
positions now come under civil service
rules. Republicans holding office today
will be allowed to serve out their four
year terms, which will be carrying out
the spirit of the law.
President Wilson is man of large
views and is evidently a very business
ike statesman. He wishes to rid him
self as much as possible of petty details.
In former administrations about one
fourth of the Presidents time was taken
up in listening to little speeches made
by congressman and other prominent men
in behalf of this or that candidate. The
President should be able to give practi-
cally all of his time to important mat
ters of state. Mr.. Wilson is acting on
that principle.
The civil service law has unquestion-
ably made for efficiency. We see this par
ticularly in the departments and in the
consular service
