A NEW NATIONAL GUARD.

The National Guard need no longer be in a state
of preparation for war, prospects went glm-
mering when HIerta resigned and quit the Mexican
capital But the experience of the last few months
has been of increased value to the National Guard
well to the country.
1t has finally transformed the militia into effee
tive military force which the nation depend
The prospect of a war and the need for organized
and trained volunteer army to reinforce our small
regular establishment awakened the country to a
realization of the peril of utter appropriateness and
the folly of keeping militia only for show or occa-
sional police duty We believe the lesson VIII not
be forgotten.
But more is yet to be done to make the National
Guard reliable second line of defense. The militia
should be completely natonazed to take it from the
control of State legislatures, which have been its
bane. There is for a State military anyhow,
except for the suppression of riots, duty that
belongs to the constabulary The military establish
ment of State is anachronsm of the constitution

Requests That Disappoint.
the Philadelphia Record.

Il
When shrewd old Benjamin Frank
lin drew up his will, presumably not
long before his death in 1890, and
left 1000 pounds to the city of Phila-
delphia for the purpose of making
loans to young married artihcers
under the age of twenty-five years,
he calculated that at the end Of one
hundred years this fund, if proper
1y managed. would amount to 1Sl,00O
hounds. OF this great sum 100000
pounds was to be used in bringing
the waters of the Wissahickon into
Philadelphia and improving the navi-
cation of the Schuykill. The balance
Of 81 900 pounds was to be loaned out
as before, and at the end of the sec
ond century Franklin estimated that
IT, would amount 20 over 4,00O,0OO
pounds, which should be divided be-
tween the city and the State of
Pennsylvania.
We all know that these glowing ex-
pectations have not been realized, for
reasons which Franklin could not
foresee. The matter is recalled be-
cause of the curious will left by the
Mayor of Weida, little city in Sake
Weimar, Germany, who has given 800
TO the municipality to be put at COM
pound interest for $40 years, or until
2254 A. d. In May Of that year the
city is to get seventy per cent. of the
accumulation. the rest to be similarly
compounded for a century, when the
whole goes to the city. Estimates as
TO the total in 1854 vary from $780,
900 to S15.0O0.o0

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
JULY II
Lady Eliza Hamilton Queen Marie Christina of Spain
Copyrg
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Copyrighted 1919.

Today is the fifty-sixth birthday of
the queen mother of Spain, the
mother of King Alphonso. She was
the daughter of an Austrian arch
duke, and in spite of the natural
prejudice which the Spaniards had
against accepting an Austrian queen,
she won and has kept the love of her
people.
July 81 was al the birthday of
Eliza Hamilton, usually known as
LA Belle Hamilton" because of her
perfect beauty. She was the sister of
the famous English courtier, Anthony
Hamilton, and the wife OF the reck-
less French nobleman, the count OF
Gramont. Lady Hamilton was born
in 1641, and when still a young woman
was acknowledged as one of the most
brilliant ornaments of the court Of
King Charles II. in England. She was
without a rival in beauty and intelli-
gence among the ladies of the English
nobility. Before she was twenty-five
she had turned down a host of
suitors, among them being the Duke
of Richmond, a nephew of the Earl
of st. Adams, a brother of duke and
an earl. 1t was about this time that
the dashing Count of Gramont was
exiled from France. The count, after
a life of gallantry had had the impu-
dence to make advances to Mademoi-
selle la Motto, one of the kings
favorites, and for this offense he had
been requested by the king to leave
the country.
With this record the count was
welcomed at the court of the English
king and he soon became the leader
of all gayety at that court. Although
he was forty four, just twice as old

as La Belle Hamilton, IL was soon
apparent that that beautiful lady
would look with favor upon the
courts suit Her brother, Anthony
Hamilton, a man of the same stamp
as the count, was friend of Ora
mont and it was apparently his am
bition to see his sister become the
Countess of Gramont. Then quite
Unexpectedly the count received per-
mission from the French king to re-
turn to Paris and he went off In great
haste. He had got as far as Dover
and was just about to set sail for
his native country when he was over
taken by Lady Hamilton's two
brothers.
"Chevalier de Grament," they said
very politely, have you not left
something in London"
To which the gay count replied:
Pardon me, messieurs, have forgot
ten to marry your sister" After
don and the count married the beau
tiful Eliza and again started off for
Paris.
The Countess of Gramont was re-
ceived with great favor in Paris and
became lady in waiting to the
French queen. OF her two daughters.

| Let me give you a little incident
to illustrate this: ] became a direc-
tor of the very large brewing cor
poration which Mr.. Jones had Gre
ated and built up, and of which he
was president. He asked me to serve
as director, and / was very glad to
do it. 1t was our custom to meet
as a board once a month. We had
no regular meeting place. Sometimes
we met in Mr.. Jones's hotel, some
times in the directors room of the
bank in which he was interested.
We received a fee of $50 for each
session.
"One day a Boston banker who was
also member of the board, said to
me that he was going to have little
fun with Frank Jones' He was go
ing to suggest that instead of hold
ing monthly meetings we would hold
meetings at least twice a week, re-
ceiving the usual fee at each meet
ing. l entered heartily into the little
practical joke, and at the next meet
ing of the board of directors l sec
onded the proposition made by this
banker that instead of meeting once
month we should meet at least
twice a week. I spoke very earnestly
and very seriously, but occasionally
caught the twinkle that was in my
banker friends eye and returned it.
Frank Jones took the proposition
very seriously He said that as far
as he was concerned he was perfectly
willing that the board should meet
semi weekly instead of once a month,
but he was afraid the stockholders
might object to it. He asked for
little delay on the proposition, saying
that he would sound some of the
stockholders and if he found that
they were satisfied the change from
monthly to bi-weekly meetings would
be made.
mot once did he perceive that we
were playing little joke on him, and
he actually sounded the stockholders,
or some of them, and told us, with
every manifestation of regret, that he
did not believe the stockholders
would be willing to incur so great
an expense as semi weekly meetings
would involve. Thereupon with
great formality the matter was
dropped, and Mr.. Jones never kneY
that it was all in fun

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21. 1914.
HuERTa,s EXPULSION FROM MEXICO.
FUNDED MARCH !. 1sse.

Huerta's departure from Mexico was made in time.
Another weeks delay in his going might have brought
him within the power of the Constitutionaliss' and
n that case he would have been an object of the
national vengeance
But he is gone, and the country ne desoated is
well ridded of him The task of undoirg the evil ne
wrought is monumental 1t will take years to bring
neace and good government and prosperity to Mexico
and there will be great tribuations
Madero was constitutional president He came
into office with high purposes. His desire was to re-
form the intoerable social political and industrial
conditions of a country where more than half the
population we're in bondage. An dealist, he believed
that somehow evils would right themselves in time
His policy was pacific and trustfu And that was his
undong and the calamity of his country.
Not without great struggle would privilege in
Mexico yield to reform. And it commanded the fnan-
cia resources the foreign commercial interests and
the support of the American ambassador. The mill
tary chiefs corrupted and the plot was laid for
his assassination His the fate of the Roman
Gracchi He dared to question the privilege of
small class to monopoze the land and make bondmen
of the common people and he was put out of the way
But out of the dust of Madero there sprang Villa,
whose victorious arms overthrow the usurped power
of Huerta and finally drove him to fight. And be-
hind Villa is the real Mexico, the Mexican masses,
conscious of the wrongs of centuries and full of new
hope now that there leaders and that their cause
commands world sympathy.
1t is far cry YET to Mexican reforms and their
realization depends upon the wisdom, the patriotism
and the frmness of the men who successfully led the
revolution Huerta has disappeared from Mexico, but
Huertasm remains. There can be gentle dealing
with this selfish and cruel faction. The methods of
Madero his assassination and men who inspired
that who appauded it still the bitter foes
of reforms and will leave nothing unG ne to defeat
them.

ALL THIS UNDER GOVERNMENT CARE.

The Pribilof islands in the Boring Sea far
remote from Washington and the official there is
usually dull to complaint. When consider the
great wrongs done by government agents and others
to the Indians in the Western territories, wrongs
that could find listeners at Washington and were
redressed, we cannot wonder that the natives
of the seal islands should have been made the victims
for SO long of government agents.
Secretary Redfeld is having investigated
some extraordinary charges against these agents.
and every of the charges should be sufficient for
the imposition of prison terms. Among these charges
is the debauchery of the women, terrorism of their
husbands. drunkenness and furnishing intoxicants
to the natives, creating condition in the community
that has resulted in death and lawlessness, and per-
hitting the unlawful killing of fur seal which
the agents are sent to the islands to protect
1t would be supposed that while millions spent
in missionary work in Asia and Africa and Oceaniea
something done for the benighted people of these
islands but the report shows that the uplft of the
natives is wholly neglected, that morality is unknown,
and drunkenness is universal. The government owns
the islands and the careaker of their people, and
this is the way it for them, and the way they
are looked after by the American churches.

WHAT THE MAyoRALrY FIGHT MEANS.

One statement by the New York Evening Journal
editor in regard to New Jersey is partly true when
he says: within few months, if New Jersey were
not mismanaged and neglected, the biggest ships

Thousands of of waterfront land would be
covered with factories, work would be found for
hundreds thousands of additional workers Newark
could be made in few months with little spending

Property in Mud.
From the Toronto Globe.
In one of his works John Ruskin
notes the fact that he is possessed of
a certain piece of mud on the Thames
a short distance below London, which
for great many generations was
looked upon merely as a mud bank
it was of so little value that no one
took particular pains to find out how
it came into the family, because there
was no use for it, But one day n
genius discovered that the mud IN
this bank made good chimney pots,
and he found out who owned the
mud bank, and he got permission to
make chimney pots from that mud,
and they gave him a certain number
of chimney pots or their equivalent
for the privilege of using the mud
in that bank Mr.. Ruskin saws that
he never looks out upon the roofs
of the houses in London when the
wind is high and sees the chimney
pots being blown off, but what he
thinks there is so much more reve-
nue. coming to him for the use of his
mud, and he asks how this disposi-
ton can be justified, what right he
had to take from the genius who dis
covered this method of making CHM
ney pots and the laborer who is per-
forming his part of the work, when
he is giving nothing in return. This
is the essence of land ownership. It
is the distinction between land owli-
ership and land use.

REsENrs EXECUTIVE 1NrERFERENCE.

The question put by Irish Nationalist member
of the House of Commons, in mt the PROPOSE
ton for conference at the command of the king of
the representatives of the political parties the
home rule question pertinent. He asked if there
any precedent for the premier advising the king
to place himself at the head of conspiracy to de-
feat the wishes of the House"
Interference by the king the executive with Par
Lament in any way has been unheard of for many a
day, and in this it only for a conference
and not to influence dragon the Legislators. An
attempt of that kind would nfiame England and
might cost the king his crown; but in free re-
public such things thought lightly Of We do not
yet realize what England knows the danger to
ment in the abuse of the executive power.

Uruguay and Meat Supply

With porterhouse steak at so cents
a pound retail as an imminent
fact, the beef-eaters of the world
are getting somewhat worried,
especially those who happen to
be domiciled in the United States.
Argentina is supplying some of
her product. but when the enormous
total of Uncle Sans consumption is
taken into consideration the quantity
now imported is not even as much as
the proverbial drop in the bucket.
Where can we look for more meat? is
the all absorbing question.
Something over 100 years ago the
hacendados (ranchmen) of Uruguay
complained to the government that
over 100000 head OF cattle were being
killed annually for their hides alone
The carcasses were thrown to the
dogs, or left on the rolling pampas
for the vultures to devour. Beef in
Uruguay was so plentiful that it was
something of a nuisance evidently. OF
course, that day has passed, but they
still have cattle enough down there
to convert some 700, 900 head into 49,
900, 900 pounds of jerked beef in one
year, most of which is sold to Brazil
Cuba, Porto Rico, and other tropical
countries. Think of the juicy tender
loins of 100000 head of cattle going
into jerked beef!
Again there are many thousands Of
Uruguayan cattle annually converted
into extract of beef. Perhaps but few
people know that the first great fac
tory for the production of beef ex-
tract known to the world was estab-
lished at Fray Bentos, little city on
the Uruguay River, about 100 miles
above Buenos Ayres, the cosmopolitan
capital OF Argentina, and that 1t is
still doing business ''at the same old
stand" although the stand" has
grown enormously larger since the
time it became the pioneer in the

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
A Practical Joke on Man of Affairs

The late Patrick A. Collins, during
his service of two terms as a member
of Congress, representing one of the
Boston districts, stood second to no
other member of the House in the
kindly regard of his fellow members.
He was a delightful companion, and,
although very stiff party man,
nevertheless never permitted his party
association to interfere with his per-
sonal relations with Republican MEM
bers of the House. He often went
out of his way to do favors for Them
and he was always generous in his
estimate of committee service or of
speeches on the floor of the House
which were made by Republicans.
He gained the warm friendship of
Grover Cleveland, who greatly adj
mired him, partly on account of the
especially notable quality of his COM
mon sense and also for his thorough
understanding of some of the great
questions of that day. Cleveland
would have been glad to have had
General Collins in his cabinet during
his second administration, but, hav-
ing learned that General Collins pre-
ferred the consul-generalship at Lon
don, he appointed him to that office.
There General Collins was able to ac-
