Judge R. J. Montague, recently
elected city attorney of the city of
Virginia, returned this morning from
a trip to Crookston, Mimi, his old

was at some pains while in Crookston
to make comparisons between the
privately owned electric light, water

municipality owned plant of Virginia.
He finds that the city of Virginia
gets service for about one-half the
figure charged in Crookston.

CRISIS
Ar
Conditions Now Similar to Those
Which Began Two-Y ear Con
flict in 1916.

q glimpse backward to the Mexican
war Of 1846-'4S reveals conditions
strikingly similar to those obtained in
the present crisis.
Then, as at present, there were seri-=
Gus internal dissensions within the re-
public. The people were divided and
atwar among themselves. Yet the ten.
dency then was, as it might reasonably
be again, to sink these differences in
the presence Of a foreign invader.
It is pertinent to recall that in the
war of 1846-48 it was necessary for
the United States to place in the field
approximately 31,00Q regulars and
$4,000 volunteers. Mexico's popula-
ton then was less than half of what
it is now. > - Il -.
The war lasted two years. The resis-:
tence encountered by General Taylor
in the north and by General Scott in
his brilliant advance on Mexico City
would reasonably warrant the assump-
ton that an invasion now would be
more than mere child's play. Fl =. =,
Mexico's population apprpximates
100000. Although it's present arm
ed force but slightly exceeds 10000
counting federals and revolutionists,
that figure is fairly only the nucleus
around which the fighting strength Of
Mexico might group itself. Here more
or less imponderable forces interpose
to prevent any authoritative estimate
as to the fighting force Mexico could
muster.
Among these forces, the financial re-
sources from which Mexico might
draw is perhaps the most determine
tive. Another factor which greatly
prejudices the likelihood of a swift ter
mination Of the struggle in the event
Of invasion is the fact that Mexico
presents many grave geographical and
economic obstacles to the invader.
Coupled with this is the advantage
which naturally attaches to force
battling in it's own country.
Although it is not at all certain that
the constitutionalist forces would ally
themselves with Huerta in the event
of intervention by the United States,
there is no real assurance that Car
rama would not turn against. the in
vader. It will therefore be possible
for the United States to rely upon
anything except the power of it's own
arms.
A point Of striking difference be-
tween Mexico's strength at present
and that which it succeeded in muster
ing in 1846-48 is the matter of arm
ament. Today the Mexican forces
possess Mauser, Bennington (1893)
and automatic rifles while their artil-
lery also is we'll equipped with modern
guns: -
The fact remains that Mexico has
no gun factory; cartridges and pow
der are manufactured .on small
scale, but even in this regard Mexico
is largely dependent upon her i'm
ports from other countries. Declara-
ton Of war by the United States
would cut off this source of supply.

SOME SPECIFIC REMEDIES
BY Prof. 3. B. Lane.

professor 3. B. Lane, superintendent
of the Pensacola High School, was
among those who addressed a large
body of men and women, interested in
educational matters in Pensacola, at
a Joint body of meeting of the Federal
Womens Clubs of the city, and the
Chamber of Commerce, when the ques-
ton of the special tax district was dis
cussed and since that time he has
written two able letters along educa-
tional lines. for the columns of The
Journal At the suggestion of The
Journal Prof. Lane now gives some
specific remedies which might be ap-
piled to conditions here)
There appeared in The journal of
Friday, April l7th an effectively writ
ten editorial headed Why Not Inves-
tigate the Gary School System ?'-the
second paragraph of which stated that,
so far, the discussion of the local
school situation in the NoX Populi
column of The Journal has been con-
fined rather to the subject of the
shortcomings of our public school sys-
tenn than to any remedies that might
be applied"
1t is true that two articles previously
contributed by the writer to that col
umn did not, in a detailed way, specify
particular remedies that might be APP
piled, as l was sure that there must
first exist a basis of public sentiment
before any notable Improvement in the
citys schools could be made. For that
reason I endeayored to suggest to the
readers of The Journal that hand in

people OF Pensacola must unite to make
them effective, are the beginnings of
any permanent Improvement in the
schools, and | have mentioned them
again because their importance must
be recognized by Pensacola people if
real progress is to be made.
Under the constitution of Florida a
city school system separate from the
counlx system is impossible Jack
sonviIIes Tampa, Miami, st. Petersburg
and Sanford, however, nave not been
content TO wait for a change in the
constitution, and have already secured
the necessary Co-Ordina ton and super
vision by providing special city sup
erintendent While this kind of SyS-
tenn is not ideally perfect for a city,
it would offer Pensa cola the same OPP
portunity these other Florida cities
have already taken and would keep
Pensacola from having to wait per-
maps several years until the constitute
ton could be amended. With the
greater interest in education that the
establishment of the special school dis
trict would arouse here it would be
possible to lead gradually to the be-
ginning of system Of more practical
education 70 rbOth boys and girls that
would be more clearly related to what
they must do after they leave school,
and this by making both the grammar
and high school courses more practl-
cal. Every step taken should be slow

practice in America IN 50

of the new six and six
