above should employ and have at it's
service a competent and experienced
social worker to be known as social
secretary, whose work should contin-
uously be under the supervision of
the central board; such social secre-
tary would have charge of and keep
the registration and confidential bu-
reau or exchange.
Your committee further believes
and recommends that successful and
efficient charity work can be most ad-
vantageously done by the assistance
of such social secretary, who is ex-
perienced in the work, and has been
especially trained in the field work,
and has a technical and scientific
knowledge of present-day charity
problems. Much of the work of the
charity organizations in our city is
dealing with the forces or conditions
which produce charity cases, and such
work can be done much better under
the skilled direction and advice of
an experienced social worker Further,
we believe that the assistance and
advice Of such person thoroughly &C
quainted with charitable resources,
private and public, municipal, county
and state, possessing scientific train
ing would obtain the best results in
charity work.
Aims at Prevention.
I'VE further believe that with the
central board, assisted by such social
secretary, we would be able to obtain
such cooperation that much could be
accomplished along the lines Of pre-
vention, and all without further cost
and financial assistance We there
fore recommend that such central
board, designated as above, consisting
of some twenty members, should be
constituted, and that such central
board cooperating with all of the
present charity organizations, should
employ a competent and trained So
cial worker to supervise both the ad-
ministration Of relief and the study of
local conditions with the idea of re-
moving those conditions and forces
which are continuously producing in
creased needs for charity This we
believe to be in accordance with pres
ent-day methods of charity organiza-

has been in the way of relief, and
necessarily very little work has been
done along the line of the prevention
of those forces and conditions which
annually increase the demand for re-
lief
1--WE further find that these various
organizations, being separate and dis
tinct have administered their relief
independently, and there has not been
the cooperation necessary as we be-
lieves properly to deal with our So
cial problems such as are to be found
in our city at present.

The Mexican Crisis.

AS long as the question as to what snouiu
be our Mexican policy was hanging IN the an ~
was the duty of all classes freely to express 'he-
selves concerning it, one way or announcer nu'
now that we are confronted with sltuat1on
rather than theory, there is no alternative pos
sible except the loyal support of the flag.
President Wilson has acted consclentlousiy
from the first: he is acting in harmony with the
nations conscience as we'll as his own WHAT
ever our politics may be, whatever theories as 10
the wisest course in dealing with the Mexican
situation may have been, it is the common duty
of all citizens to uphold the hands OF the Presl-
dent and insist that reparation be made for the
indipnities to which our colors were submitted
The situation is grave and it cannot be expect
ed that the Huerta forces will act according to
the dictates of prudence. The Mexicans have
been inflamed to hatred against the Yankees by
their daily press and are actuated by pas
sion rather than by reason Insane with tur-
bulency of feelings, they would fight the world.
Nor can it be expected that Heurta himself
will do much to avoid open breach with this ma
ton. He knows he is already in reality whip
ped man and that it is only question of time
until the rebel forces will defeat him. He prob
ably will prefer to be defeated by an outside pow
er rather than by his own people.

The Democratic Party; It's Birth.

The Democratic party is almost as old as the
nation. The political philosophy of which it is
the embodiment is even older than the nation.
Previous to the revolution, the Thirteen Col
onies existed as almost independent states with
far more to separate than to unite them. Diff
culties of communication made it impossible for
them to understand each other. Conflicting
economic interests, diverging social customs re-
lgious antipathies oppugnant traditions, and
Separation that always goes with provincial life,
tended to drive them farther and farther apart.
To the political student of personal---very.
days, the theory that these thirteen mutually
Jealous commemorative could be brought
into an organic union would have seemed prepos-
ferrous
Nevertheless the coming of the revolution
forced these antagonistic communities to act con-
junctivey and for eight years they fought Eng
land with united front. In the interests which
they held in common and which were endanger-
ed by British misrule, they found the one hoop
capable of binding them together.
But after the successful issue of the revolu-
ton, after the outer danger which had bred in
ner union more, the hoop was broken and
the barrel fell apart.
To weld these thirteen nations into one ma
ton seemed an impossible feat, yet Washington,
supporters finally made possible the various con-
ventions which finally ultimated in the adoption
of constitution.
This accomplished in spite of much op-
position, an opposition that crystallzed about
the theory that for the thirteen states to form a
mutual compact was tantamount to their aband-
onment of individual liberty. The state, argued
these proponents of what was then called repub-
licansm, is the sovereign and original power. The
union is convenient form of cooperation which
exists sufferance of the states that constitute
it. They retain their primal rights and what
ever power the federal government has is dele
gated to it by the states.
However, the adoption of that instrument did
not disarm them of their antipathy to a strong
central government. Against this idea they
continued to protest and had it not been for the
consolidating effects of Washngtons eight years
of administration, it is doubtful if the union
could have survived it's own birth. So strong was
the movement for states rights in opposition to
an efficient union, it crystallized finally in an
anti-federal party, of which Thomas Jefferson
was the most conspicuous leader.
It was in this way the Democratic party was
born and it has retained this suspicion of an eff
ficient central government until this day as it's
most familiar characteristic.
