People Should Benefit From
Publication of Politics, Says
Former Governor
MUST BE NO SLIPPING
BACK INTO OLD RUTS"
Points Out That Pruning Pro-
cess is Over and Constructive
Work is Needed
CHASE s. OSBORN.

The present political situation in
both state and nation is critical; says
former Gov. Chase S. Osborn, who
is in Detroit, coming down from the
500 with the Board of Commerce
party, in that the course of events OF
the near future will determine large
ly whether the people will get the
benefit of uplift and publication of
politics incident to the upheayal
through which the country has
passed.
"A great deal has been accom-
plished" he said to The Times, Tues
day, "in the way of setting up high
ideals and fixing them in the minds of
the people, but now something more
will be necessary than honest inten-
tions and earnest endeavor to serve
the public. Our need now Is for ef-
ficient, clear-sighted administration
by men who will be able TO put in
practice the newly achieved ideals
and place public affairs on higher
plane Whoever may be chosen
should have the ability and intention
to see to II that things do not slip
back into the old ruts.
I'VE have TO have rotation oi
crops in farming, and l believe the
same thing is necessary in govern
ment We have now been through
a period OF publication and II Is time
for a deliberate, careful consideration
OF where we stand and what we are
going TO do next. The patient has
been put on the operating table with
the best of results, but we don't want
to keep him there all the time.
THE pruning OF fruit trees is done
in the spring, but our politicians are
trimmed in the fall In neither case.
however, can good results be OBJ
tanned by pruning all the time. We
must give the political trees some
time to grow and produce It's fruit of
better government. Constructive
and not critical achievements should
be the watchword under which pro-
gress is to be made in the near
future"

paid an average fare of 2.1S cents.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, June %.
Believing that the Huerta troops
on the outskirts Of Vera Cruz are
deliberately planning to provoke
an engagement with his forces.
Gen. Funston today took steps TO
balk their plan. He refused a
request from Mexican comman-
ders that the American daily
train toward Mexico City should
be run as far as Tembladeras
where the federals are strongly
entrenehed and where an ambush
would easily be possible.
For three days the American
outposts have believed that the
Mexieans we're only awaiting an
opportunity to embroil them In
strife, These reports we're made
to Gen. Funston and today's re-
fusai to allow the train to run as
requested Is believed TO have been
the result.
