ARMY TO STAY IN MEXICO
Gen. Scott Ordered Not to Treat
On the Subject Of With
drawal,

Washington, May 1.-The ad-
ministration does not intend to
heed Gen. Obregon suggestion
for withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico.
This was learned definitely this
afternoon. New and more elabor-
ate instructions than heretofore
given went forward to Gen. Scott
following a conference between
President Wilson and Secretary of
War Baker and another session
between Secretary Lansing and
Counselor Polk and Secretary
Baker.
These instructions are under
stood to have emphasized previous
orders to Scott not to treat on the
subject of withdrawal.
Instead, Scott will stress the
need for cooperation once more.
1t was stated officially that the
troops are not now to be with
drawn. This means the Govern
ment is determined to pursue its
plans for breaking up Villas
bands.
Secretary of War Baker called
at the White House following re-
ceipt of message from Gen.
Scott, asking more explicit expla-
nation of instructions as to how
far he could go in his next talk
with Oregon. Secretary Baker
received his instructions from the
President quickly. The confer
ence at the White House lasted
less than 10 minutes.

A Page Torn from Life

Here's little sketch that tells pointed
story:
His clothes were very carefully pressed and
brushed so that one scarcely noticed their being
frayed His hair was thin and silvering. He
dropped into The Daily News office in Chicago.

said, in conversational tone. That's the point
things have reached with me. Pm an expert
bookkeeper. Nine months ago I was thrown out
of work.
He took off his hat exposing the CRAVING

That's the answer" he said. TOO old, they
tell me. Yet I'm only 81 and pass for As When
people tell you that there's plenty of work to be
had they lie. Since last August I've tramped the
streets every day. Once in while I'd get job
for few days. Plenty of my friends have
helped me out. They would now I could go to
them and they would give me money But what
good would it be to me? Insure my food for a
few days; then it would be the same old search
over again. They can't get me work. And my

Tageart Chides His Own Party

Senator Taggart late last week chastised his
party severely for squandering the public funds
through pork barrel legislation, much of which
went to the southern states He minced no words
in condemning the legislation of this kind that
has been passed by Congress at this session. He
declared his disapproval of the rivers and har-
bors BILL portions of the agricultural bill and the
public buildings bill.
81 wonder" he asked, IF each senator and
each member of the house spent or appropriated
money in his private affairs as he spends it in
public affairs, how long it would be until we
would all find ourselves in a court or bank
ruptcy?"
Senator Taggart hits the nail on the head
when he applies the whole issue personally to
each member of Congress. Because men in pub
lie office do not look upon their trust as per-
sonal one, the money of the nation is ruthlessly
and wantonly spent to further the political ambi-
tons of the members.
But Senator Taggart must remember that the
party which is guilty of the excuses which he
charges is his party; the men at the head Of the
government are the men he helped put there; he
is one of the big men controlling the Democratic
party and his complaint just before the election
is serious indictment of his partys admins
tration.
The charge frequently has been made lately
that the South practically controls the govern
ment. Representatives from the southern states
head almost all the important committees of Con-
gress. If Taggart is sincere in his charges he
ought take the initiative in party gatherings and
caucuses to put an effective and immediate stop
to the raids that are being made on the treas
ury Why does not he enlist the services of
President Wilson in curing the evil?

Information for Citizens

Few citizens have definite and complete
knowledge as to the government of their city.
Here are some things of which they have very
hazy notions: Names of the several offices and
the incumbents; the functions of each office;
how funds are raised to run the city; how money
is spent; the method of passing an ordinance IN
the council; the scope of the committees OF coun-
cil the relation Of the board of works to the city
council what does the mayor do; why many i'm
provements cannot be made; why certain rou-
tine is followed in the transaction of business.
Your average voter hasn't the time to go to
the city hall and laboriously acquire this infor-
nation from the various heads; neither can he
attend every session of the city council to learn
the facts there.
1t would be a worth while thing for the city
clerk to prepare brief statement of these things,
publish them in form convenient for reference
and send copy to every household. The book
let should give a concise statement of the func-
tions, powers duties and practices of the various
heads and departments of the city government
1t should also give general information about the
rates for utilities; when and how garbage is col
lected; how additional street lights are pettioned
for. A list of the fire boxes and other data of
this kind might be Incorporated.
