II must tell you Of little Towser. He was a Scotch terrier, and both his

Zone day his mistress went for a visit to her grandma,s Towser was left
all alone, and he couldn't think what ito do with himself.
First he went into the sitting Dol and stretched out on the rug. Then he
yawned a very great deal. No; Towser did not carein the least that it is i'll
bred to yawn in public without making n attempt to cover ones widely opened
mouth. At any rate, there wa n o ne present but Mrs. Tabby, and she was
watching what she believed to be a mouse hole in the corner.
"Towser noticed Tabbys tail waving gently in the air. Towser had had
fun with Tabby before, and, with a bark, he sent her racing around the room

TUESDAY, JULY e, 1918.
THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

Will the United States be forced to
place a protectorate over Mexico? This
is the question that faces the country
at the present time and it is freely
predicted by those who are in close
touch with conditions in Mexico that
Uncle Sam will. in the very near fu-
ture, occupy the republic to the south.
For some time Mexico has been in a
chaotic state, SO far as its national
government is concerned. The Huerta
government has little power, and sew
eral states are in open and successful
revolt against it. This has brought
about a condition that is fast bringing
the entire country to a state of help
lesssness AND it is said that the time
has arrived when many of the best
Mexicans would be delighted to see
Uncle Sam occupy the country, organ
lie the government and either annex it
or form a protectorate on the order of
the protectorate of Cuba some years
ago.
1t is also said that many European
powers would back up the United
States in a move of his kind. 1t is
realized that the Mexicans have reach
ed a state where it seems impossible
for them to work out their own ma
tional problems and it is apparently
"up to" Uncle Sam to take charge of
affairs in the unhappy land, which is
torn by factional strife caused by the
shallow ambitions Of petty leaders.
The dispatches to The Forum last
evening, which stated that affairs will
reach a crisis within two weeks, I'M
doubtedly refer to the coming of Am
bassador Wilson, who has been recall
ed to give the administration first
hand information as to the actual con
ditions in Mexico. 1t is doubtful if
ever Wilson can give a really compre-
hensive and unbiased idea of the stu
alton. but he probably has a clearer
vision of 1t than any other American.
Mexico is a delightful land. One of
the most prominent citizens Of Cali
fornia told a North Dakotan who
was in Mexico with the Californian
recently that California has no such
land as is to be found in parts of Mex.
leo. This is a notable admission, COM
ing from a Californian and gives some
idea Of the possibilities that would be
opened under a stable government
Should the United States step in and
form a pro]tectorate, American capital
would flow in to Mexico like water and
the country would become another
California
Naturally there will be a clamor OF
criticism at the bare mention Of occu-
patton by the United States, but II
America is to continue the Monroe
doctrine policy, there seems to be nc
other solution of the problem.

DIsPATcHING BY TELEPHONE.

Dispatching trains by the meal Of
a telephone system has been consider
ed a practicable arrangement for some
time. Use of the Morse code over
telegraph lines with messages sent
only by operators maintained by the
railroad companies has some adj
vantages, but has many more disad-
vantages as compared with the tele-
phone.
Recently the Western Maryland
Railway Co. has installed a telephone
system for dispatching trains between
Hagerstown and Cumberland, Nd,
traffic between these two points being
heavy. Though in operation less than
a month, the change is hailed by the
traffic department as a great success.
BY the new method the train crews
are enabled to keep in personal and
frequent touch with the chief dis
patcher's office, telephones being plac-
ed at every switch. These frequent
points for communication would of
course be ~impracticab1e by the present
method OF running trains. Every mem
Der of the train crew between the ex-
perimental points is as good an
operator" as the most expert tele-
grapher. Time lost in sending mes
sages by telegraph and waiting for an
answer is also saved. 9
In a few years it is also probable
that the use Of the telephone for dis
patching and handling trains will be
general. liberalization of roads is
another Improvement which is start
ing gradually, but which gives promise
Of spreading over wide territories.
Railroad trains run by electricity and
dispatched by telephone would work a
revolution in present day methods, but
would be in keeping with the spirit
of the times, which seeks improve
ment and greater efficiency wherever
possible.

Washington, July 22.-Friends of
Capt. t. M. Potts, late of the battle
ship Louisiana, have appealed to the
president to reconsider his case. They
believe he should have been promoted
to the grade of rear admiral before he
was retired. He. has just arrived in
Washington from Newport, where he
gave up the command of the Louisiana.
It is understood hat friends of Cap
tain Potts believe that if the president
will consent to go over the promotion
question the action of the "plucking''
board will be nullifed, and the presi-
dent will have the authority to send
the nomination of Captain Potts as a
rear admiral to the senate. He was
due for promotion March 26 last.
Captain Potts was placed within the
jurisdiction Of the "plucking'' board
when he was not promoted in March.
His friends point out that he took the
examination for promotion and receiv-
ed the Endorsement for promotion.
Then Secretary Daniels Of the navy
department decided that he needed
more sea service, and he was assigned
to command the Louisiana, remaining
there until "plucked".

cry state in the union. Only 56.5 per
cent are of full blood, the great bulk
Of the half-breeds having a strain of
white blood. One great incentive to
the intermarriage of white men with
Indian women OF the five civilized
tribes in Oklahoma Is the fact those
with a very small proportion of white
blood can participate in property dis
tributions. N.s
Commenting on this amalgamation,
the census report says: "Unless the
tendencies now at work undergo a de-
cidad change the full -bloods are de-
stined to form a decreasing proportion
of the Indian population, and ultimate
Iy disappear altogether" ..
Property held in trust by the gov
eminent for the Indians is enormous.
Including lands, forests, water powers
oil lands. minerals and funds held in
tribal or individual ownership tha
principal is around $3.50, 900, 900, the
annual receipts from which amount to
$12, 900, 5000. No wonder such enor-
nous sums strongly appeal to the cup
idity of outsiders. Early in the year
charges were made against the then
secretary of the interior, that he was
aiding the Standard Oil in it's alleged
plans to rob the Usage Indians of oil
leases worth millions of dollars. A
house committee last January made
charges of gross frauds perpetrated on
the Indians of the White Earth reSer-
walton in Minnesota, and recommended
that congress find some remedy for an
anomalous situation, by which n
commissioner had complete control of
the vast property belonging to Indians.
AS citizens, the educated Indian
would have redress to state courts and
being fully informed Of his rights could
not be robbed en- masse, a. cen to
be a frequent occurrence at present.

People advancing in years should be
very careful of their health during the
hot months, as heat has a, very ener-
waiting and weakening effect on them.
One has only to look at the daily list
of fatalities to elderly people reported
by the papers to realize that these are
the hardest months for them to over
come.
The easily digested foods should be
eaten, and then only sparingly, and
alcoholic beverages and iced things
should be avoided as much as possible.
Exercise should be taken daily in the
shade. Most important of all in the
maintenance of health and vigor at
this time is to avoid constipation, with
its accompanying headaches and mus
cular and blood congestion. This is
accomplished by the timely use of a
gentle laxative like DR.. CaldwelIs
Syrup Pepsin. It is the ideal laxative
for elderly people, as it is mild, tastes
pleasant and does not grippe. Best of
all, it contains valuable tonic proper
ties that build up and strengthen the

Elderly people should avoid strong

INDIANS AS CITIZENS.

Though the small boy may be duly
shocked to be informed that the Indian
of his imagination has passed away
and that the race is likely to have be-
come plain citizens Of this country by
the time he has reached his majority,
indications are that the descendants of
the "scalpers Of the pale face may in
the not distant future cease to be
wards of the white man and may enjoy
the same rights under the law as the
conquering people.
Following the recommendation made
to former Secretary Fisher by the In
dian commissioner, Secretary Lane, of
the interior department., has expressed
the decided opinion that the greatest
service which could be rendered the
Indian would be to set him free. This
would not be accomplished all at once,
as was done in the cas- Of the negro.
but would begin with the enfranchise-
ment Of tens Of thousands of Indians
who are as competent to attend their
W affairs as my men Or women Of
the white race. The full bIoods with
u education or ability to attend to
their own business interests would
still rernain as wards of the general
government, the belief being expressed
that in another generation the r~estric-
ton could be entirely removed.
The secretary would abolish the IN
dian bureau to be replaced by a per-
manent commission to manage their
affairs in a more localized fashion.
From the very first dealings of the
white man and the Indian in this
country the record has been n of
robbery and ~il-treat1nent. Even after
the red man was chiefly corraled in
reservations in the Indian territory
and elsewhere, he was a prey to, the
rapacious white man and only the
strong arm of Uncle Sam prevented
them from being stripped Of their
property. Protection from the sale of
intoxicants has also been a saving ele-
ment for the race.
With the spread of education a1none
the Indians. and the return Of the
youths from schools maintained for
their benefit. the condition OF he ma
tons wards has Improved very mater
tally in the last few years. The Indian
has been taught to be sober and indus
trious and educated to be a better
farmer and mechanic and to under
stand and follow principles of hygiene
One evidence Of the Improvement OF
the race is to be found in a bulletin
jusss issued by the census bureau which
shows that the Indians in this coun
try increased nearly 10000 IN the past
ten years. the total in the United
states In 1910 being 265.683, belonging
4o $50 tribes. There are Indians in en-
