LAMAR coRR,s WAGONS

Governor Hunt has vetoed the Stapley bill, pro vidng that state officials shall file temized accounts of expenses while travelling and limiting their ex- penses for subsistence to $4 % per diem. The gov pointed out that the provisions of this bill prohibited. the purchase of automobiles other cnveyances by any state official except from funds specifically appropriated by the legislature says he vetoes it because it would prevent Lamar Cobb, state engineer, from buying wagons for in road work.
 The Governors is pretty lame. Every body knows that he wanted to the big white and Little Nemo's buzz wagon. Had he signed the <hl those pleasant iurkIe the state by rhe Governor and his man Friday might be put at an end. Of it would have never done to the dear people the real ground, Winsor called in. The great brain of the little boss was quick to respond in the emergency. What about Lamar Cobbs wagons, he said, and that furnished the cue for this novel veto by the Governor.
 And so Lamar Cobb's wagons have been saved and along with them the crack automobiles of the Governor, the members of the state land commission and other state officials who take joy rides thq expense of the taxpayers.-Tucson Citizen.

STRUGGLE FOR FLAG
French Dragoon Tells of Battle
 With Germans.
PomeranIan Regiment Makes Desper. ate Fight to Retain Standard Sergeant Holds Banner Alone
 After Comrades Die,
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.

Onited Press Correspondent.)
 Paris.-Although regimental stand ards are no longer earried in the fore front of the battle, modern methods ot warfare have not altogether eliminat ed those picturesque fights for the flag" dear to the heart of the novelist and painter. Most of the French and German regiments carry their colors with them, and there have been sev. eral desperate fights for these silken trophies, the f1ercest recorded being that for the standard of the Sixth Pomeranian regiment, which now hangs in the chapel of the Invalides for the inspection of French sight seers. The story of it's capture is told by French dragoon whose regiment brought back the trophy.
 Under 8 heavy shell fire," he said, "our guns supporting the dragons had to move to another position. and the enemy, thinking that we were in re treat, hurried their advance, the Sixth Pomeranians coming up at the double. Suddenly three large shrapnel shells from their own guns burst over the regiment, doing terrible execution and throwing the whole column into con- fusion
 Tt was the right moment for us, and the dragons charged home with lances. The Germans rallied and formed into a square, but the volleys they fired were not sufficient to break the charge, and we rode over them. Trampled on by the horses, sabered and transf1xed by the lances, the Ger mans fled in wild confusion.
 One little group, however, was ral- lied by it's officers near small copse. We did not realize the motive of their resistance until we caught sight of a gold and purple flag futtering in the breeze. They had rallied to save their flag. We rode up to them and shouted a demand for surrender, but the only reply was a volley which sent 20 horses cantering riderless back to our lines. Our officers ordered chage in scattering formation, and the gal lant little group was ridden down
 "The flag fell from the hands of a German captain who had received terrible saber gash across the head. It disappeared for a moment in tur- mol of horses and struggling men. and then we saw it again waved de fantly by a German sergeant, who with three other men fought them selves free. They retreated shoulder to shoulder few yards. and then. with his back to tree, the old ser. geant was left alone with the flag. But he sank to the ground a moment later, his chest transfxed by lance. He was a brave man..
 When we brought the flag back we saw in golden letters across its torn and blood-stained folds the words, 'Champigny 1S71.'"

THE MEXICAN MERRYeo-RouND.

The recent revolutions in Mexico have been really nothing much out of the ordinary They have merely revolved little faster than usual, and have attracted special attention of the calm which preceded them under Daz.
 According to the records, Mexico has had seven presidents since Diaz hit the beaten trail for Europe Since only three of them made any impression on the outside world, it may be worth while dragging the whole list into the light.
 F. L.. de la Barra stepped into the presidency on April 25. 1911, when Diaz abdcated. He merely filled in the interval until Francisco l. Madero was formally elected and inaugurated on November of the same year. victoriano Huerta seized the presidency when Madero assassinated on Feb 19 1913. He hung until July Is, of last year, when he was forced into exile by tho pressure of foreign opinion and the military success of General Villa He was succeeded by another figure head, Francisco Carvaja who held the executive office for four weeks then gave the place to General Ven ustiano Carranza chief of the Constitutional revolutionists. The quarrel between Carranza and Villa led to national convention of political and civil leaders, which Nov. 10 by way of compro mise chose Eulalio Gutierrez a provisional presi dent He held the reins until Jan. 16 of the pres ent year. when for not yet clear he was succeeded by Roqua Gonzales Garza. That gentle man is still supposed to be the head Of the Mexl- can government although the actual power is di vided mostly between Carranza in the south and Villa the north.
 Seven presidents in less than four years is little above Mexico's average. that's all. From the time when off the yoke of Spain in 1920 until Porrio Diaz settled himself in virtual dicta torship in 1880, the country had rulers, most of whom died with their boots
 There were three periods when Mexico was fairly peaceful and ordery-under the Aztecs, un- der the Spaniards and under Diaz. The Aztec kings slew their subjects by tens of thousands as sacrifices to the great god Huitzilopochtli. The Spanish conquerors enslaved he population and drained the country its gold and silver. Diaz gave away in concessions foreign capitalists the country's richest resources.
 Stable government chaos-it's usually been pretty much the same to the Mexican masses Who ever has won, the people have lost--as the people everywhere until they wake up unite and take matters into their own hands. When the Mexicans acquire the power of concerted action. their will end.

CURING THE DRUG VICTIMS

In the big cities the situ- ation particularly distressing; but nearly every in the country has its victims many of them, as the public surprised learn not lost souls of the underworld, but decent men and women shared by the drug-craving through fault of their

 Many communities throughout the country tackling the problem this practical way. Chica- go, which is said to have at least 35,0O0 victims, has undertaken to provide antidrug treatment a big scale, even using a school building a hospital, and already has accommodations for near ly 2,OOO patients. New York City is doing much in quiet way. h Atlantic City dozens of heroin committed to the municipal hospital for treatment. The federal government may decide to open its marine hospitals all the country for the same merciful work.

CHEAP COTTON AND CHEATED CHILDREN

There was hope this year, among people who want children to get fair show at childhood, that the back of the child labor dragon would broken The Palmer Owen bill, introduced into congress time ago which aimed to put ban inter- state commerce in goods produced by child labor, passed the House Representatives late in 1914 with very large majority in favor of it. There hope that it would pass the Senate.

Therefore Senator Overman of that much-worried state where they ap- pear to care more cotton than for children, jected it's consideration.
 This would be interestingly the children of one state differed so much from the children of an other that they needed different treatment; or if the state which demanded to care for its children without federal interference took so much better care of its own that federal legislature would mean backward moving.
 As matter of fact, the cotton manufacturers of North Carolina succeeded-before the federal bill came up-in defeating all child labor legislation be- fore the state legislature They packed the Com mitee of Manufacturers to which the child labor bill referred Their lobby forty strong. appeared before the committee to urge the unfavorabe report that followed

It can easily pay that sum the than s1,5OO,ooo receiv- ed in premiums and of which perhaps $1,OO0OO0 represents risks that have already arrived safely at their destination There has been occasion yet to use one dollar the $10OO0OOo appropriated by congress finance the bureau, and it would take unusual and unexpected series of losses to make serious inroads that capital
