fact that the man performed efficient
service for several years notwithstand-
ing his affection, and that he was in line
of duty when he was injured, and that
his injury was in no wise due or at
tributable to his malady, certainly adds
to the equitable obligation to treat him
as though he we're in full health at the
time of his entrance. The District
might at any time during his service
on discovery of his affection, discharged
him as physically incompetent. But that
it did not do so and that he was not
incapacitated until he was injured in
service would seem to fasten the re-
sponsibility upon the municipal govern
ment.

| The race between New and Watson
for the republican nomination for Mr..
Kern's seat in the Senate left the de-
feated candidate and some of his friends
a little sore. But now that Mr.. Wat
son has been nominated for the Shively
seat, that feeling will probably disap-
| pear. Mr.. Watson is a famous and eff
feetive stump speaker, and very popu-
lar man in the district he long served
in the House.
The democrats at present are unde-
cided about their nomination for the
Shively seat They will make it at their
state convention the latter part of this
| month.
When Mr. Taggart was appointed SEN
ator by Gov. Ralston, the opinion pre-
vailed that the governor would offer,
and be nominated, to succeed Mr.. Tag
CART, on an I-tickle-you you tickle me
arrangement. Mr.. Taggart, it was
thought, would be satisfied with the
honor of the appointment, and hold the
place, so to say, for his friend.
Such seems to be Mr.. Taggart's spirit,
but Gov Ralston is as yet only re-
ceptive candidate. If his party desires
his services he will make the race. If
it does not desire them, will it nominate
Mr.. Taggarts
Taggart versus Watson would mean
organization versus oratory. Mr.. Tag
CART is not a speaker. Mr.. Watson is
one of the best in the state. Mr.. Tag
CART has an organization-hi opponents
call it a machine-which extends to
every part of the commonwealth. Mr..
Watson's organization is not complete
outside of his old congressional district.
There is no longer a suggestion of
Vice President Marshall for this race.
And yet he is easily the best qualified
man in the party for senatorial service.
As a senator he would know his way
around from the start. From his place
in the chair he has been observing Sen
ate processes for three years; and that
is a liberal education in legislative
work.
Moreover, his nomination would add
much both to the ginger and the gayety
Of the Hoosier campaign. 1t would
bring him and Mr.. Watson face to face
again as contestants for the same Office.
When Mr.. Marshall was elected gov
ernor-a victory which led to his nomi-
nation for Vice President-his opponent
was Mr.. Watson. 1t was a spirited con-
test between two bright and aggressive
men; and contest between them for a
senatorship would show both in their
best form. But Mr.. Marshall seems
booked for another race for the vice
presidency.

The Tavenner Retirement Bill.

Representative Tavenner has intro
duced comprehensive civil service re-
tirement bill which carries some strik-
ing features. He provides first of all
for straight-out pension, payable
wholly by the government without con
tribution from the government workers
themselves. This is in line with the
higher equity of the matter In one re-
spect, however, it is open to objection
from the point of view of the depart
ment employees. 1t proposes that upon
retirement an annuity is to be paid,
ranging. according to length of service,
from 90 per cent to 30 per cent Of the
average annual salary for the ten years
preceding the date of retirement. This
would work out in many cases to a very
small amount. A man might during the
fifteen years of service required under
this measure before retirement rise
through several grades through success.
sive promotions, SO that while he at.
tanned the highest salary within the
classified service at the close Of his
career the average Of his salary for q
ten-year period would be materially
lower, and even at IS per cent, the high
est annuity permitted, his retirement
pay would be but meager sum, not pro
portionate to his value at the time Of
leaving the service. Every snnuitant
under n retirement system should be
reckoned rs worth to the government
what he is getting at the time Of 70
tircment. and his annuity should be hg
ured upon that basis and not upon ans
average.

Handicaps in Mexico.

| 1t is stated by the Mexican minister
for foreign relations at Queretaro, the
provisional capital of the de facto gov
eminent, that Mexico has not granted
the United States permission to use the
| railways in that country for the trans
port of supplies or troops in the pur-
suit of Villa. This does not necessarily
mean that Mexico has specifically re-
fused the request of this government,
although up to the present it is tanta-
mount to the same thing.
The only reason why Mexico is I'M
willing to allow the use of railways by
the American troops, it would seem. is
that the authorities at Queretaro fear
that if our forces use the roads the feel
ing will prevail in Mexico that they
have taken possession of the country,
or that the Mexican government is
catering unduly to the American pro-
gram. 1t is most unfortunate that there
should be so general lack Of compre-
hension on the part of the Mexican peo-
pie, so widespread suspicion OF both
the Mexican and the American govern
ments. What this country is doing to-
day in Mexico is greatly to Mexico's
benefit. If it accomplishes the capture
or destruction of Villa it will make for
stable government south Of the Rio
Grande. Carranza's forces are appar-
emily quite unable to do this, and In
all equity there should be the fullest CO.
operation and the most liberal grant OF
all the facilities for Villas pursuit.
1t has been suggested that Mexico will
soon intimate that the period Of Ameri-
can expedition be definitely limited re-
CARELESS of results, perhaps to thirty or
sixty days. 1t is difficult to see how
the United States can agree upon time
limit as long as the work which it set
out to do remains undone. 1t is, OF
course, highly desirable that Villa should
be caught or destroyed promptly. This
expedition is costing the United States
heavily and is a most unpleasant under
taking. But it is necessary, and it must
be continued to the finish, and it is to
be hoped that the Mexican government
will not advance any proposals for a
time limit or throw any further obsta-
cles in the way of the punitive expe-
dition.

New York at Chicago.

In politics always the most interest
ing of the states because of her skill
in playing the game, New York this year
is more interesting than ever. She has
everybody guessing What is she "up
to-! What will she try to do at Chi
cago? Does she want one of her own
sons nominated? Or is she expecting
the nomination to go elsewheres The
air is heavy with curiosity and specula-
ton.
When Gov. Whitman was installed in
Office he held wide attention. He had
been elected by large majority. He
faced an exceptional opportunity to be-
come a national quantity. 1t was al
most common prediction that if he
made good at Albany in large way he
would stand an excellent chance of pro-
motion to the White House. But fac
tionism in his party soon appeared, and
his prospects for national leadership this
year disappeared The Whitman presi-
Dental boom collapsed.
Then a Root boom was started. 1t
had for reason Mr. Roots superior quail
fications for the presidency, and the adj
miration in which he was held at home
and elsewhere. But Mr. Root discour-
aged the movement, and it made no
Roadway against his expressed wishes.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt, who had all along
been the bull moose choice for a second
race under that banner, was suggested
for the republican leadership. Why not
put him up as New York's choice, and
as invitation for bull moosery to quit
the field! But the suggestion was pro-
stested by the republican leaders. who
declared that, while ready for negotia-
lions with the bull moosers for reunion,
they would not consider proposition
for an abject and absolute surrender on
their part.
Then the Hughes boom appeared. It
had no warrant outside of the reputa-
ton of the man. When in politics he
had shown real leadership and achieved
some important results. Why not call
him from his h,nored place on the bench
back to the field where he had served
his party so welli Not word he had
said or authorized anybody else to say
afforded the slightest excuse for the
mention of his name in connection with
the presidency. 1t was the unsolicited
tribute of perfect confidence expressed
at a time of acknowledged emergency.
Today there are three New York
booms The Whitman boom is definitely
no more But the Roosevelt men are
whooping things up for their favorite,
there is revival of the movement for
Mr.. Root, while the great strength of
Justice Hughes is set forth in terms
that ere commanding wide consideration.
New York solidly behind one candidate
at Chicago would cut very impressive
figure in the convention. But divided
by three, what! Which leads to the
question, What is New York cup to-?

New P. N. Corsets.

The P. N Corset is an economical
corset; it gives wonderful service,
has good style and is comfortable to
wear; strong and flexible in boning
and material, and firmly supports the
figure.
Broche is a popular material and
there are various grades in different
corsets: there are models for different
types of figures, in low, medium and
higher bust. They are priced from
$1.OO to $3.50.
The New p. \. Practical-side Cor
sets are splendid for the larger figures;
for the woman who has weight and
flesh enough to give a corset unusual
strain and hard wear. These are of
strong and durable materials and the
sides are reinforced by heavy boning.
Prices are $500, $500 and $3.50.
