PRESS OPINIONS
Mexican Policy Is Vindicated.
(Woman's National Weekly.)


 President Wilson's attitude of "watchful waiting" in the Mexican problem has been vindicated, and proven to be possible, in fact, a reality. General Huerta has at last resigned the provisional presidency of Mexico which he usurped eighteen months ago following the assassina- tion of President Madero and Vice President Suarez. President Taft left the grave and complicated subject as a legacy to MT. Wilson. Immediately President Wilson put the world on notice that the United States would nevermore recognize any foreign government set up by assassination. This was new doctrine and was not concurred in by the world pow CTS, who hastened to recognize the usurper, Huerta, who meantime had established dictatorship and plac- ed the congressman in jail. Some of them were put to death and a reign of terror prevailed in the capital of Mexico. All who had the temerfty to oppose the dictator were executed or banished unless they managed to es cape by flight. Meantime President Wilson was serene. He refused to heed the demands of the oil -4qqYesT and other exploiters who wanted the Unit ed States .-to~ declare war on Mexico. He did not pay any attention to the squeams of European nations who desired to step into Mexico to osten- sibly protect the property of their citizens. Throughout the bloody con- flict which ragged within the republic President Wilson serenely but firmly acted for the best interests of ,Mexi- cans as we'll as Americans. War has been averted, and it will not be long before order will supplant chaos and the sister republic will once more be on the high road to an unprecedent- ed prosperity There may be petty re- volts and bandits may take advan- tage of the unusual situation, but the incoming regular government will put down all banditry and instruction, and, backed by the United States, maintain law and order. The world has been given lesson, and particu- larly have the Latin-Americans learn ed something which should be benefi- cial in the future. American honor remains unsullied and American gen. erosity has been exemplitied.

They reveal unwholesome con- ditions, that might long pass ua- noticed did they not break out in some startling climax. The news paper that simply tells the plain truth about these tragedies, and lets the facts speak for themselves aud puint their own moral, performs service that has value.

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek.

away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed in the Son of man; l 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the child ren of the wicked one;
 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
 40 And therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; So shall it be in the end of this world. Al. The Son of man shall send forth his angles, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do in- iquity;
 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be vail ing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear let him hear.
 A. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buy eth that field.
 45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto merchant man, seek ing goodly pearls:
 46. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
 AZ. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast in- to the sea, and gathered of every kind:
 AS Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but z" the bad away.
 49 So sLaIi it be at the end of the world: the angles shall come forth. and sever the wicked from among the just,
 50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be vail ing and gnashing of teeth.
 51. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
 52. Then said he unto them, There fore every scribe which is instruct ed unto the kNgA,m. of heaven is like unto man that is an house. holder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
 53. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
 54. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them ia their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
 55. Is not this the carpenters son? is not his mother called Mary and his bretheren, James, and loses and Si- mon, and Judas?
 56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
 57. And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
 5S. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

READING THE MURDER STORIES,

READING THE MURDER STORIES.
 Publicity as a deterrent to crime was commented upon by The Graphic several days ago. Another problem is the effect on the public mind oi the constant crime stories ia the newspapers.
 Booth TarkingtOn, on being inter- viewed at Kew England summer resort, expressed the opinion that the people of that section are devot- ing an inordinate amount of time to reading about recent murder mys. teries. Probably the same could be said of the newspaper readers else. where.

Publicity in public affairs is the peoples best safeguard. Publicity not only discloses dishonesty, but the certainty of publicity will act as a deterrent to any public official who might lean towards dishonesty. Crookedness, though, is not the only thing the people must watch for. The majority of public officials arc honest, but an incapable honest man can cost the taxpayers as much as capable crooked one. The passage of the publicity bill, to be submitted as act No. 3, will insure publicity to all matters affecting the taxpayers. It will provide for furnishing the peo- pie with information about the honest capable official as we'll as the dis honest or incompetent, and public servants may be hired or fired ac- cordingly. In any event, the people can learn more about thelr affairs than they have ever known before.

sT. MATTHEW ON CITY BUILDING

itself is brought to desolation
 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.-Matthew 1925.
 This convinces us that St. Matthew was good citizen as we'll as good man in the sight of God. The good saint might have written volumes on city building, bUk he could not have better defined the secret of success than he has in the above lines. And the centuries that have elapsed since the words were spoken have fully vindicated his judgment.
 Pine Bluff might take this lesson to heart ard profit by it.

America First in Athletics.

Less than a generation ago Ameri-
cans surprised themselves and the
world by gaining the supremacy in
athletics Every year since then they
have made their supremacy more Sc

constantly being lowered and that
many schoolboys Of today are able to
surpass the proud achievements of
professionals of the sos and COS.
Man, the animal, is stronger, can hit
harder, jump farther, run faster than
ever before He is larger in stature.
If steel armor again came into fash
ion the armor now in the museums
would be placed in the boys clothing
section of the modern department
store And of the man animal, larger
and stronger and sWifter than any of
his ancestors, the American breed is
superior. That this is true is proved
by the long, almost unbroken line of
victories. In the Olympian contests
held to date we have won 80 of 143
events, making the number of victo-
ries more than those OF the rest of the
world together.-World's Work.

EorcjbIe FEEDING,

There are many earnest and clever
women in the ranks of the militants,
but they have been carried away by
the new feeling of sex cohesion, OF
class solidarity and by their unroason-
ing loyalty to the imperious house
of Pankhurst, asserts writer in the
Forum. A very dangerous and regret
able mob spirit threatens to sweep
them into excuses which will bring
even greater odium upon the title SUI
fragette than the word already con-
notes. The real suffragists are going
quietly and effectively about their
work, with the approval and support
of most reasonable men: but few
can view without regret the antics of
the excitem ent-naddened women who
are trying to associate the cause of
sex equality with yulgarity, hysteria
and the most pitiful lack of reason
ing power. They cannot even see-or
they have not the honesty to acknowl-
edge-that forcible feeding is not
real issue at all in the campaign;
it is merely taken up as convenient
hysteria-proyoking rveapon. The act
ual question is not whether women
who have been sent to prison for
some criminal offense with political
motivesl should be permitted to COM
nit suicide; but whether they should
be sent to prison at all. If it is right
for them to go, it is necessary that
they should be taken care OF, however
much he may regret that their own
deliberately adopted self-torturing
methods may make some form of CO
ercion inevitable.

MOTHERS CHuiCE FOR a NAME
Finally Father Consented to Calling a
Daughter GracIa, After Many
Disappointments-

The long expected baby had arrived.
and the father was invited TO see his
little daughter. He had hoped that it
might be a boy.
What will you call the little one,
sweetheart" said he.
Il think I'll call her Gracia," said
the mother. Il always liked that
name"
oh, no." said the father 4
wouldn't call her Graciai It's such a
fancy name. Why not call her Helen,
after your mother"
Il don't mind" said she.
So they christened the baby Helen.
In due time another little one was
announced, and the father was invited
in to see his second baby daughter.
He longed exceedingly for son and
heir, but was almost reconciled when
he looked at the mother as she cud-
died the little girl to her side.

Il think I'll call her Gracia," said
the mother. Il always liked that
name"

swered the father. It's such foolish
name. Why not give her a sensible
one. We might call her Ruth after my
mother"
"All right" she agreed 4 think
Ruth would be a nice name for her. "
And the records named her Ruth.
And in the fullness of time a third
little one awaited the disappointed ia

baby girl

the mother. 4 always have liked that

oh, no, l wouldn't" he said. Her
aunt Bertha will be real disappointed
if We don't name it after her"
Well, | suppose that's So, an
swered the mother. Wen call her
Bertha"
Time passed on, and a fourth little
one came to claim welcome. The
father could hardly hide his grief
when the doctor announced It's a
girl" but he tried to look pleased as
he stepped softly into the darkened
room. As he pressed his wife's hand
he asked, And what will you call
this little-girl?'
Il think I'll call her Gracia," said
the mother. Il always have liked that
name
Well, for heavens sake call her

but they were unable to extract much
information in the matter from the
quaint old family physician, whose

years.
One day the mother made last
attempt to get some definite announce
ment from the doctor. DO you really
think he will recover" he was asked.
Well" said the doctor, clearing his
throat and assuming a most solemn
air, 81 know how you feel with the

The word 'scarecrow" would never
