IN MEXICO

MYTH all of the Presidents high
wv sounding phrases about Mexico
for MeXicans and the will of the
people ruling in that troubled country,
the fact remains that almost any well
read Latin-American knows more
about Mexico and grasps the viewpoint
of Mexicans better than does the
President or any one of his advisers at
Washington. When the nations to the
south of us are as one with us re-
garding Mexico, then will our course
in that country be safe.
BY recent tacit agreement their
partnership with this country in a
Mexican policy would promise them
legitimate return of a national bust
ness character. Closet sentimentalists
may criticise this as sordid and mate
rial. It is neither. The Mexican ques-
tion as an international one is a busI-

Why Not the Easy Way,
Mr.. Storekeeper

The storekeeper who senses
and moves with the current of
public thought succeeds.
Such a storckeeper Is first of
all a newspaper reader and es-
pecially a reader of newspaper
advertising.
He knows that when an ad-
vertisement of product appears
that the public mind will think
about it.
He tunes his window to the ad-
vertising.
He shows the newspaper adj
vertised goods - he finds 1t the
easy way to attract trade.

Lne tafllt SITUATION:
Democratic orators used to tell
us that a Democratic tariff would
not disturb business; but ii did
The war, regrettable as it is, was
the salvation of American industry.
But 1t will be said that conditions
are improving. OF course, the war
is a pro-tempore protective tariff of
q makeshift kind, and in addition
we have this new trade in NUM-
tions of war. Whatever may be our
opinion of its ethics we cannot deny
that 1t Is bringing money into this
and we lose instantly both our sub
stitute for an adequate tariff and
our munitions trade, what then?
The manufacturing enterprises of
Europe generally have not been de-
stroyed. Ten million men will leave
the trenches when this war closes,
Our country, unscathed by war, is
the market to which their goods
must come. Against the wholesale
dumping place on our market of
this flood of the most cheaply-pro-
duced foreign goods ever made, we
must have protection or the en-
tories will walk the streets. I am
for preparedness. but even more
than preparedness for war. we need
preparedness for peace. That pre-
paredness we can attain only
through a protective tariff and, sci-
entiflcally. only through p tariff
commission. l propose, at once, to
advocate both.
Mr.. Bennett has thus outlined tn,
opinions of thousands of Americans.

THE BETTER WAY
BY Wing Dinger

Time to think of resolutions.
And I've thought of quite few,
Which 1t might be well for me to
Make to start off the year new.
But on second thought I've figured
That the smartest thing would be
To make them become effective
January two or three.
For, / figure, resolutions
Live a life that's very brief.
And when New Years Day has vanished
Good vows quickly come to grief.
So why give up all the pleasure
That goes with the New Years Day?
Making vows to start the next day
Seems far, far better way.

With the shortest cotton crop

WITCH STORY IS
AIRED IN COURT
Infants Illness Was Due to
Curse, Says Mother Al
legged to be Insane.

Superstition Of the Pilgrims in
burning Anna Hutchinson at the
stake at Salem. Mass. for witchcraft
in the 18th century, has nothing on
the practice being carried on among
some residents in the west end at
the present time according to revela-
tons made at the sanity inquest Of
Beronica Bykowski, 1910 Longley av.
Here Is the story as told in JUS
tice Wypiszynski's court during the
sanity inquest:
The fOur-months-o old son of Mrs.
Bykowski was dying. Six physicians
lad been called 10 attend the babe,
but none could prescribe medicine
that would restore IT to health. So
one day an insurance man came
along. He told her that there was a
woman by the name Of GOttlieba
Borkowska, 1912 Poland St, who
could cure the babe.
So the mother went TO see the
woman. She examined the ainng
baby carefully. declaring that the
symptoms were Of tuberculosis. but
further added that the main trouble
with the infant son was that ne was
bewitched. She would drive the
witchery from the boy, and then
health would return.
The prescription included all sorts
of weird and mysterious things. GOtt-
lieba BorOwska told the boys moth
er that a neighbor, Mary Drankie-
wicZ. was responsible and that she
was a witch. she told the mother
that she must invite Mrs. Drankie-
wicz into her home and take her
shawl away from her. cast it into
the stove. first placing the shawl in
water If the shawl burned readily,
and If the smoke went up the Chin
ney. then the witchcraft was being
cast out Of the babe
Further she must slap Mrs Dram
kiewicz until the blood flowed and
then gather up a teaspoon of the
life substance. If the child took the
blood. then was it cured.
The mother. temporarily insane
over her love for the baby boy, in
vited the old woman into the home.
The assault took place and the
mother followed out the instruc-
tons
Then the neighbOr came TO Justice
Wypiszynski She thought the
mother insane. An inquest was held
and the mother freed.
The mother was charged 50 fees
according to her own story. Now
comes the information that there
are many people working the same
sort of practice in the west end.
Prosecutions are to follow it is un-
derstOod, the charge being practic-
ing medicine without license. PLY
sicians state that such cases are fire.
