The flies don't even stop to 60 home
and wash their hands and faces. The
little flies don't V e bother to 60
home and ask their mammas II they
may come. 1t isn't necessary, for the
mammas are there and the papas,
and the brothers and sisters and cou.
sins and aunts and uncles and the
entire fly family.
What that family lacks in the size
Of individuals it makes up in numbers,
and in the mischief Of which 1t is cap
able. OF course, anyone who likes to
see the flies enjoy themselves; who
cares to have little fly picnics on his
back porch or the window sill, or
down around the garbage can, may
easily do so. But 1t is not believed
that an Washingtonian cares for such
picnics, and therefore 1t 'behooves all
who are interested In keeping down
the fly population to keep their homes
and yards clear of refuse.
Also, bear in mind that one fly
swatted means millions unborn. A
swat in time saves, not nine, but
about nine millions and then some.
So swat now, and tomorrow and the
day after, and every time a fly makes
its appearance. Keep in the army Of
fly swatters, and always bear in mind
the motto: "Swat it noW."-Ex.

humanitarian work under considera-

devastated, famine-stricken lHuai Riv-

the American Red Cross Magazine for
July by Mabel T. Boardman, chairman
of the National Relief Board of the
American Red Cross.
In the last half dozen years the
American Red Cross has expended ap-
proximately $4,000, including the
value Of donated supplies, in trying
to afford some measure of relief for
hundreds OF thousands Of emaciated,
starving, misery.ridden human beings
in that area where, according to the
official Chinese records covering
twenty-five centuries, periodical floods
have laid waste vast stretches Of rich
ly productive agricultural lands.

CASE OF THE DvSAMITERs.


In refusing to interfere In the case
of the dynamiters, whose trial was
held In Indianapolis more than a year
ago, President Wilson has done what
the country expected him to do-the
only thing he could have done.
The appeal to him was probably
based upon a canny realization of the
fact that his action in the matter
would make friends or foes for him,
and that it might affect his future as
a politician.
But nothing in the Presidents Of
fetal career-Or in his career as an
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the belief that he
could he persuaded to do an unjust
deed for the mere sake of furthering
his own interests in any way.
The dynamiters had the benefit of
highly expert legal aid; and with the
exception Of the speedy imprisonment
of the men following their conviction
at Indianapolis, there has been no ev-
idence Of undue haste in the handling
Of their case. That one instance Of
haste "a remedies by an order of the
court.
The case in question was of q type
which merits clemency less than any
other offense in the criminal calendar.
Dynamite is not an American weapon.
Its use is restricted. largely, to the
lowest types Of men belonging to 9TH
er nationalities. Dynamiting in the
United States, no matter what the
provocation, must be discouraged in
the most vigorous manner possible.
That is evidently the conviction Of
the President; and it is doubtless the
conviction Of law,abiding people ev.
erywhere.-Ex.

More of the sordid details OF thu
gigantic conspiracies which are appar
emily back of the Huerta government
on the one hand and Of the revolu
tionary movement led by Carranza on
the other were published today. The
revelations grow more startling as the
story unfolds, and the end of the dis
closures is not yet reached, by any
means. Every new installment in
wolves the parties in a deeper net OF
intrigue.
The narrative which these papers
are presenting reveals the terrific
struggle between the rival forces in
Mexico in a new light. The contest
for control of the government of Mex.
leo between Huerta and Carranza is
swallowed up in the bitter battle for
the control of the railways of Mexico
between the Pierce.Waters oil inter.
ests and the Lord Cowdray oil corpor-
alton. The frightfully complicated
situation which President Wilson ana
the A. B. C. mediators we're called
upon to untangle is rendered even
more complex by the knowledge that
back of Huerta and back of Carranza
are silent but nevertheless all power
full forces working for selfish advan:
tage in stricken Mexico, and it is sick
ening to think that Americans are as
deeply involved as foreigners.
About the saddest phase of the con-
spiracies is that they seem to have
nullified all the high humanity of the
President and the American people in
their di~sinterested efforts to put Mex
leo on her feet. There can hardly be
any doubt, after the startling disclos-
ures already published, that the Wa
ters!Pierce oil combine was opposed
to the entrance of Carranza into the
peace negotiations at Niagara Falls,
and that has been the chiefest OBJ
stacle to the success of mediation,
thus jeopardizing peace and threaten
ing at any moment to plunge America
and Mexico into an awful war, with
all that 1t would have held Of death
and sorrow and heavy expenditure of
money for the two nations.
Obviously, all parties to this bust.
ness have something to explain, and a
Senate committee Is about as good a
body as could be selected to listen to
the explanations.-Pioneer Press.
