COTTON AND NEUTRALS

All the thinking newspapers of the
United States having reached the
conclusion, by one mental process
Or another, that the blockade by
the allies is blockade de jure as
well as de facto, and the Washington
Administration at last agreeing,
there remains now for big debate
the question of non-contraband car
goes bound for neutral ports but
With Germany as the ultimate desti-
ration.
Technically all food supplies can
be held to be contraband if all food
supplies in a belligerent country are
controlled or administered by the
government or it's agents. There
are, however, many important ar
ticles of commerce not to be classi-
fled as food and which there ought
never be military need for a govern
ment to seize or regulate. Cotton
is a. striking example of enormous
Importance to the United States.
Acknowledging the blockade, no
neutral would question the right of
the blockaders to keep cotton from
direct entry into Germany. I'm
doubtedly every neutral would pro-
test the stoppage of cotton bound
for that neutral but with Germany
as the ultimate destination. Here
is where the long, perhaps never
ending, argument with the allies
will go on, for evidently they mean
to keep out of Germany everything,
though its course be direct or indi-
rect.

representative of the famous old
family did service only less pub
licly spectacular than those that the
three preceding generations of the
family had done. The second Charles
Francis Adams was born in 1885,
so that like all the members of that
family he managed to live through
an unusually long life; and it was
as active and worth while as it was
long. He was soldier. in the civil
war, and was both builder, an ex-
ecutive, and regulator of RAILROADS..
He served long time on the Mas
sachusetts railroad commission when
it was one of the pioneer institutions
of the kind in the country. Then
he was one of the earliest and most
successful Of the arbitrators in rate
and other differences, among the
railroads themselves; and at length
he became president of the Union
Pacific, and one of the leaders in
the great work of reorganizing that
system. Later in life he devoted
himself largely to literary work
along economic and historical lines.
In this effort he was instrumental
in bringing the cold white light of
reason and research to bear upon a
number of the cherished and beloved
traditions of American history, to
the utter rout and discontinue of
those established fallacies. He
busted" successfully the traditions
about the Boston tea party, Paul
Revere's ride, the landing of the pill
grims at Plymouth rock, and long
list of other fine old fables. Like
wise he did much to smash the bogus
and undesirable old Parson Weems
yarns about George Washington,
none of which deserved to be per-
petuated, but some of which had be-
come so firmly intrenched in popular
faith that they had made it we'll
nigh impossible for the Father of
His Country to be regarded as a
real human being.
The Adamses of Massachusetts,
long may they flourish, giving to
their country many more genera
tions of the splendid and patriotic
services that has been their contri-
button in the past. And though in
the last two generations it has not
been their fortune to contribute any
Presidents, it may be said that the
character. quality, and worth of
their contribution has not been i'm
paired because the family CHANGED
not to attain to the pinnacle.

The Westfield E'ure Food Exposition

The Westfeld Pure Food Exposition
In the Arcade Auditorium closed last
night at midnight.
The formal closing occurred after the
management had refused for over an
hour to listen to entreaties of the ex-
hibltors to hold the exposition over for
another week.
1t was carnival night and the closing
hours compared very favorably with a
carnival of the. widest delight. Crowds
packed the Arcade auditorium, surging
to and fro; laughter of pretty girls
mingled with the music of the full or
chestra: confetti and serpentlne were
everywhere.
Between the dances. which did not be q.
gin until after 0 o'clock. the exposition
booths could not take care OF Their Wis

Prizes Are Awarded.
During the evening prizes were given

and House of Lords tea, and Lady Fair

Unfortunately, the name OF the at

she wore black mask. Her identity

AFTER CARRANZA, WHAT?

That the Carranza episode in Mex
leo is nearing its end is as clear as
anything can be in the haze and un-
certainty of that troubled country's
conditions. In the beginnings of the
constitutionalist movement against
Huerta it seemed altogether prob
able that Carranza would prove him.
self wise and discreet leader; but
there was fear that Villa would be
unmanageabfe. The utterly unex-
pected happened. Carranza had been
a highly successful governor of one
of the greatest states of north Mex
leo; a man of education and worldly
wisdom and experience. So it was
reasonable to hope that he would
maintain some sense of proportion
and propriety. That Villa, rough
and-ready soldier, without education
or polish, might be troublesome, was
quite a reasonable anticipation.
Yet as matters turned out, Villa
was far more amenable, more
capable of understanding his real re-
lationship to the cause of the Mexi-
can people, more alive to the neces-
sity that amiable relations be main
tanned with the Washington Govern
ment, than Carranza. Villa has used
his own good hard sense, along with
the brains of some very capable men
of affairs who understand the re-
quirements of international and bel
ligerent relationship, to steer his
warning craft through troubled wa
ters, until it is in sight of victory.
Carranza broke with Villa, and Villa
set himself about the task of ridding
the country of Carranza. That task
seems now in sight of its end. When
it is ended; there will come at last
the chance for Villa and his cabinet
to prove whether they can carry for
ward their work in peace as effec-
lively as they have done in war.
1t is generally accepted now, that
Villa is one of the greatest soldiers
America has produced. Men begin
to talk about him as they do about
Washington and Bolivar and Stone
wall Jackson, as a real military
genius. Will he rise to the measure
of his opportunity, after he clears
away rivals for the national leader
ship? The Washington Government
a long time ago picked him as the
man to carry its money, and has
staked lot on him. He must make
good in a pretty large way if he
shall deserve the fund of confidence
that Woodrow Wilson and William
j. Bryan have reposed in him. They
have not only permitted him a free
hand in trying to solve the Difficult
ties of Mexico, but to a very large
extent they have staked the fortunes
OF the Democratic party in this
country on their confidence in him.
If he shall disappoint their expec-
tations. as Carranza disappointed
those who hoped for sane admin
istration of the constitutional cause
by him, then Villa will contribute a
good deal to breaking down the pa
thence of the American public with
the Wilson Administration. There
are men of large political promi-
nence in the Democratic party, who
have not half the opportunity to
make or break that party, that Villa
will have from the hour when, he
comes to undisputed domination in
Mexico. If he makes good in a
large way, he will strengthen the
Administration that has given him

Here Is One of Those
Hens That Cannot Kick

SANDUSKY, March IA Milan hen,
according to information coming from
what is considered a reliable source IN
the town east of here. famed as the
birthplace OF Thomas A. Edison. the in
ventor, finds a wooden leg every bit as
useful as the genuine article.
The hen Is owned by Leonard ODell
who carved the leg out of a piece OF
hickory with a pocketknife and fasten-
ed 1t with plaster of paris and bicycle
tape.
The hen broke her leg trying to
scratch gravel while the mercury was
ten degrees below zero.
