White Wolf has operated hitherto

but recent reports have been to the
effect that he was casting greedy eyes
in this direction. The three combined
cities are the richest in central China

the loot would be enormous.

to be no longer any question that the

White Wolf is reported to have a

Hankow has considerable European

interests, docks and factories. 1t is
also an important missionary center.

DIPLOMAS ARE GRANTED
1856 RECEIVE THEIR PAPERS
Result Of the June Examinations Are
More Encouraging Than Those Held
In May, Says supt. Smith.

Today 1856 diplomas were issued 10
graduates of the Eighth grade Of the
Marion county schools who took the
examinations on June and 8. About
40 who took the examinations failed Ia
pass but in comparison with the num-
Der who passed the examination in
May this last list of applicants shows
up much better. Over half Of the
number taking the examinations failed
in the May tests but only about &c
per cent failed in the June quiz. OF
course many of those to whom diplomas
were issued were obliged to take only
one or two subjects but aside from this
number Superintendent Smith ex
pressed the opinion that this was q
better consignment of papers.
About 100 pupils of the Sixth and
Seventh grades were examined ut this
time in the subjects os geography and
Physiology which are finished in these
grades.

National Prohibition

Mr.. Hobson's resolution proposing ma
tion-wide prohibition by an amendment
to the Federal constitution, won a ma
jority OF votes in the lower house but
failed of the two-thirds vote necessary,
as had been expected. This the first
time IN the history of the Republic that
proposition to create a nation-w wide
drought in alcohol ever came before Con-
gress and this in itself is an evidence OF
the change OF sentiment in the last few
years in regard to the liquor traffic. So
far as the present session of Congress is
concerned, this ends the agitation on the
question. The temperance advocates are
much encouraged by their majority Of
eight votes for the resolution, in view OF
antagonism of the President, the Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Underwood, the Dem
ocratic leader OF the House and other
party chiefs. Party lines were broken,
however, there beng general mix up of
Republicans and Democrats on the vote.
The opponents Of the measure express
satisfaction with its defeat, and so
honors are even. That the question is
downed permanently, however, no one
who reads the signs Of the times believes.
The temperance advocates were never so
powerful, aggressive, militant and persist
ent as they are now. They are strength
ened by prohibition sentiment among
representatives from so called dry states,
and have a strong organization, good
leaders and an inclination to fight and
they will no doubt renew the battle with
still greater vigor

A Splendid Showing

The report Of Dewey T. Hanley, the
state purchasing agent, is a very inter
estipg and instructive document in that
it gives in a clear and concise manner
complete summary OF the work OF the
office created by the last legislature. The
expense OF maintaining this department
for two years was in The neigborhood OF
$4,000, a large sum it would seem at
first glance, but closer inspection OF the
amount saved the state shows that this
money was well invested In all depart
ments there has been an enormous say
ing. amounting to thousands of dollars,
and we have no doubt there will be still
great saving the longer Mr.. Hanley is
at the head of that department. He is
surely "the right man in the right place.;
right because he has proven to the state
that vast sums can lie saved by central
izing the various purchases the state is
obliged to make. The legislature of 1912
made no mistake in creating this i'm
portant department and Hanley has
made good therein.

Mexico

The Mexican situation is one of the
hardest things to solve in the history of
American diplomacy. The country is
honeycombed with feuds and quarrels
between rival chieftans. A majority of
the natives don't seem to care anything
about government, law and order, or
any kind of national progress Mexico
is perhaps the very worst region on this
side of the Atlantic Ocean and must be
left alone to fight out it's own future in
its own peculiar way; or conquered, con-
trolled and civilized. Anyone familiar
with Mexico knows what all this means.
1t is no place for the United States to in.
terfere, unless the interference is final and
compelling and done for humanity. No
matter how you handle Mexico, it will
be heartrending hard work.

American Generosity

Despite the talk of hard times and the
calls made on the American people for re-
lief for the sufferers of the war in Europe,
the papers say that never before has the
American public been SO kind and gener-
Gus and thoughtful OF the claims of the
poor and the wn-and-out. The benev.
olence of the American people not only
saved thousands of Belgians from actual
starvation, but also brought Joy and
cheer into many homes darkened by
poverty and misfortune. The oue-half
does care how the other half lives, after
all, and the exhibition of such broad sym
pathy indicates that the American heart
is in the right place.

The Primary Law

Evidently the Rutland News does not
take very kindly to the Primary Law,
Judging by the following
"As far as the legislative bill revisers
know, no direct primary bill is in prepa
ration. 1t will be far from a misfortune
to Vermont if no such bill is ever pre-
pared. This newspaper believes in par
ties, as well as individuals keeping their
promises. Nevertheless. it is true that a
bad promise is better broken than kept.
The direct primary is futiity. 1t has
not accomplished single Improvement
in any State in which it has been tried,
and in good many instances political
under it have been worse than
they were before. Vermont in its second
sober thought, should have no use for
this passing political fad. The primaries
which we already have may possibly be
improved and further safeguarded and
the illegitimate use of money in cam
paigns may well be prevented, without
resorting to a new and expensive pri-
mary system. The News has said this
not less than fifty times before, but it
will do no harm to keep emphasizing it
at the present juncture."
