ought to have done, the assassin OF
Madero would have been hailed
throughout the world as the only
man competent to govern Mexico.
The nature of the ground, some
one may argue, prevented flank
movements, but any soldier that
cannot follow an antelope over
desert or mountain ought to be
detailed for hospital duty.
We may conclude this by the
remark that President Wilson is
in error in his attitude towards
Mexico. More than ninety per
cent. Of the people Of that country
are in such abject ignorance as
to be utterly incapable Of self gov
ernment, and it takes dictator
or tyrant to rule them.

HUERTA-vILLA- TORREON

Two Of the greatest military
idiots Of the age met at Torreon,
Mexico, last week. They were
Villa, the rebel, and Huarta, The
dictator. The latter was present
only by proxy to speak. He has
some military reputation, but,
as strategis, he is disgraceful
failure, and we sympathize with
him, because, though murderer
himself, he is not the thief and
murderer that Villa is. Both are
scoundrels, but Huerta is the les
ser one.
AS military captains, they seem
to know nothing about strategy.
Here is wherein they made each
great error. lit was not neces-
sary for Villa to fight at Torreon
He could have gone on by the
place, either to the east or the
west, preferably the west and have
cut off Huerta s men from the sup
plies which they were getting
from the south. But no; with his
usual bravado, he had to stop al
Torreon Gomez Palacio etc. and
get thousands of his men slain and
crippled in the effort to prove
that they are courageous.
On the other hand, anerta. III,
stead of realizing that his fate
depend on the issue at Torre9n
instead Of approaching the fact
that the loss of Torreon would
discredit him in the eyes Of the
whole world, contented himself
merely with fortifying the
place and placing a garrison in
it.
Any American general would
not only have done that, but he
would also have sent out two di-
visions Of troops, one to the west
and the other to the east of Tor
reon, to close in behind Villa as
soon as that Villain began the
assault on Gomez Palacio. That
would have knocked Villa "hell-
west and crooked as the Texans
would say; and, if the federals
had caught and shot him, as they

A. K. Taylor and VIM B. Mack,
both well known in Florida
journalistic circles, have launched
a weekly paper at Jacksonville,
which is called the State. 1t is
a journal of cartoon and COM
ment, which the publishers hope
to make statewide in its scope and
influence, and it will be an organ
OF the so-called progressive de-
mocracy in Florida. 1t will be
interesting to watch the career
OF this paper, as it aspires to oc-
cupy place already claimed by
another paper but it is to be
hoped that it will be conducted
in a different manner from its
contemporary to which we refer,
and thus appeal more to a think
ing and discerning. public. This
latter we believe will be one Of
the characteristics of the State.

Der of 1925 contestants. The system of
checking the answer sets was as fol-
lows: AS each answer set was received
t was sealed with the official seal Of
the contest and in addition stamped
with an automatic clock device that
recorded the exact time it was receiv-
ed. Each set was then given number
and recorded in a book.
These answer sets were then placed
in the large steel vault of the Jour-
nal and remained under lock and key
until the actual checking began. Each
set was then checked once by compe-
tent and disinterested clerks. The
first checking eliminated many hun
dreds as the total number of correct
answers did not admit of any possible
position in the final summing up. The
carefully double checked, which
brought the total number down to the
number who had solved so out of the

80 pictures BY the same double
checking process. all who had failed u
solve at least IS of the pictures were
eliminated. 1t was then found that
still one more elimination was posi-
BILE and all were eliminated who had
not correctly solved at least II. From
the group of contestants still remain
ing the final winners were then deter
mined. A careful inspection of the
Journals methods of recording and
checking has satisfied us that every
answer set has been fairly and i'm
partially considered, properly checked.
and given it's correct position accord
ing to it's merit.
After considering all the various
phases of the contest, we have decid-
ed that Picture No. IA. intended to
represent Surrey. was incorrect
Through an oversight the vehicle
represented in the drawing was pic
tured with only one seat, whereas a
viously unfair to consider this picture
in any way in deciding the results OF
the contest and it was thrown out,
the only action that could be taken in
fairness to all.
We therefore declare that the con-
testants named in the list as append
ed below have won the cash prizes set
over their names.

nails Picture Puzzle Pastime-The Decision
of the Judges.

Pastime. Much emphasis was laid up
on the advisability of using extra an
swers. 1t was shown that in similar
contests the prize winners always
used large number of extra answers,
thereby increasing their chances OF
having the right answer. Many con-
testants solved what might be termed
the hard" pictures but failed on some
of the easier ones. An interesting
fact is that not one of the pictures re-
NAMED unsolved, although no one
contestant succeeded in solving them
all.
Owing to an unintentional error IN
the part OF the Pastime Editor, due to
a misunderstanding with the artist,
Picture No. IA was decided as unfair
by the judges and was consequently
thrown out A careful inspection of all
the answer sets reveals the fact that,
although many used the name "Surry,'
