W LILA is such blood-hirsty brute and such a
menace TO the peace OF Mexico and the United
States that the two nations should experience pro-
found pleasure in obliteratng national boundaries for
the time being, joining forces and pursuing him and
his fellow bandits until the last OF them has been
sxterminated
The pursuit should be persistent, merciess and
elusive in its results. II will teach the awless ele-
mens in Mexico that banditry and brigandage will
not be tolerated ana that the United States and Mexico
will work hand-n-hand to exrpate them for the well
fare of both nations
BY his threats and acts villa has placed himself
wholly beyond the pale Of human sympathy mat
ter what his ultimate fate may be- The attack upon
Columbus New Mexico, his crowning of infamy
Nothing short of the death of himself and every
who engaged in it atone for that unprovoked and
bootess massacre.
The American force that has been ordered into Mex
leo does not Mexican sovereignty Il is TO be
there to assist the Mexican Government in policing
certain portions OF its territory and bringing desperate
criminals TO justice. Mexico should welcome such a
friendly invasion.

As in the case Of the action Of the
Senate last Friday. the action taken
yesterday in the House of Represen.
tatives must be considered I'm two as
poets. The first concerns the con-
duct Of our international relations.
The second concerns the Presidents IS
efforts TO reestablish his leadership
of the Democratic party.
The House of Representatives fol-
lowed the Senates example in meet
ing by indirection the issue raised by
President Wilson's recent letter to
Mr.. POu. The Senate refused either
to discuss the issue or TO vote on it
on its merits. II tabled proposi-
ton which had been before it for
consideration not more than one or
two minutes, which was fully under
stood by few of those voting and
which involved a different question
from the question on which the presi-
dent had urged the Senate to act. The
whole performance smacked of insin-
cerity. II was a discreditable piece
OF hippodroming on the Senate's part.
The House allowed a liberal meas
ure of debate on the subject matter
of the McLemore resolution. But il
also declined to deal directly with the
main issue-whether or not a warn
ing should be given to the American
citizens not to travel on armed mer.
chantmen. The House took the Nc,
Lemore resolution from one parlia.
mentary morgue and. after discussing
IL academically, sent it back to an
other parliamentary mOrgue. Under
the provisions of the rule reported by
the committee on rules there was not
and could not be-a clear division
between those who favored an
abridgement of the rights of Ameri
cans travelling on defensively armed
merchantmen and those who favored
asserting and yindicating those rights
at any cost.
The Tribune is heart and soul
against any surrender of rights guar
anteed our citizens under interna-
tional law. II would deplore any at
tempt by any branch of the govern
ment to limit the exercise OF neutral
rights merely for the sake OF avoid
ing friction with belligerent powers
determined to override international
law on the false plea of military ne
cessity. We are opposed to any par
ticipation\by Congress in the conduct
of foreign relatiOns-in the shaping OF
diplomatic programs while they are
still in the making II is the func-
ton OF Congress to declare war or tC
refuse to declare it. II is also within

its power to restrain the Executive--if
il disagrees with him-by passing, on
its own motion. concurrent resolu-
tions expressing its dissent from his
foreign policies. But Il is a departure
from sound practice for Congress. at
the Presidents solicitation. to arrange
Sham battles on diplomatic issues
with which he is Occupied-to take up
resolutions and then table them sim
ply for the purpose Of offering a vote
Of confidence to the President
In so far as the votes in the two
houses may be construed as strength
oning the President in his purpose to
surrender no American rights--to
stand for the strict fulilment of all
the obligations of international law
we welcome them. II they steady the
administration policy. they will have
done a useful service. But it is inn
possible to blink the fact that they
have not really altered the status quo
existing before the Pou letter was
written.
There was no more danger then
of Congressional interference with Mr.
Wilson's diplomacy than there is now.
The interfering resolutions which
Democratic congressman introduced
were never intended TO be voted on.
They were introduced chiefly TO en-
able members to square themselves
with pro-German and pacifst con-
stituents. They had their origin in
the exigencies Of domestic politics,
and it is obvious that the exigencies
of domestic politics were also respon.
sible in large measure for the Presi-
dents demand on the Democratic lead
ers in Congress that this covert sort
of agitation at the Capitol, highly dam
aging to his prestige and his leader
ship, should be suppressed
This brings us to the second aspect
of the votes taken i'm the two houses.
Mr.. Wilson, in form and in effect. de-
manded a vote of confidence from the
Democratic party organization in Con-
gress. He did not get what he asked
for. In his letter to Mr.. Pou. which
started all the trouble he wrote: IL
therefore feel justified in asking that
your committee will permit me to urge
an early vote upon the resolutions
with regard to travel on armed
merchantmen which have recently
been so much talked about, in order
that there may be afforded an immedi-
ate opportunity for full public discus
sion and action upon them and that
all doubts and cOnjectures nay be
swept away and our foreign relations
once more cleared of dangerous mis-
understandings

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
4 PEOPLES VICTORY.
From the Dover Index.

From the Dover Index.
The victory Of American rights and
law in Congress is not to be consid-
cred a purely personally victory for
President Wilson. though he certain
ly is entitled to the greatest credit
for his stand. The real issue was
shall American citizens be protected
i'm the rights guaranteed them under
the well settled laws OF nations. or
shall this nation surrender such
rights at the threat OF another nation
whose naval policy conflicts with such
rights.
The vote OF Congress left no doubt
of this nations attitude and now the
President is again free to speak for
the nation and with the added force
of an overwhelming congressional
majority behind him. Little Ameri-
cans and Americans who place parti-
sanship before patriotism have failed
and Germany has needed the warning
by its new note. offering to obey the
law of nations on condition that Eng
land also obeys.

A GOOD RESOLUTION.

DREsIDENT OF COUNCIL DOWNWARD has intro
duoed in City Council resolution that should re-
ceive favorable consideration and action. One aim is
to the books and papers of the city during the
transfer the city Offices from their present
10 the in the Municipal Building at Tenth
and King streets Another is TO divide those papers
into three classes, restore 10 the city Offices those
books and papers which possessed Of current de-
parmental value TO place In the keeping of the
Public Archives Commission those books and papers
that possessed OF historic but depart
mental value and to dispose OF junk those books
and papers that possessed Of neither departmental
historic value. II is proposed that a Joint COM
mittee composed OF representatives of the Public
Archives Commission and of the city government shall
do that classification work carefully and that it shall
cost the city nothing.
Our understanding is that for the sake OF postority
and the accuracy of Wilmington history as il will be
written in the future the Public Archives Commission
is willing to undertake this conservation work We
think the city officials should meet It fully halfway
and in a grateful spirit
Never in the history Of the world has there been
time when old books and papers Of local historic value
priced highly than they are at the present
time That is fact that should be borne in mind by
our Counclmon when they taking final action on
he Downward resolution.

Neither house was willing TO permit
a vote on any proposition with regard
to travel on armed merchantmen. In
the Senate resolution was tabled
which declared that il would be suf-
ficient cause for war with Germany
If a German submarine should, with
out warning or notice. sink an armed
merchantmen and an America pas
seger should thereby lose his life.
The House tabled complicated
resolution 0hat OF Mr.. .McLemore)
warning Americans to keep off arm
ed merchant ships, calling for certain
diplomatic correspondence and laying
down some general rules of foreign
policy There was discussion a-plenty,
but in dealing with this composite no
chance was given TO vote directly on
any one of the three propositions or
on all combined.
Mr. Wilson failed TO smoke out the
Democratic insurgents because the
House and Senate organizations did
not want to have them smoked out
Despite the Presidents demands the
way is still TO be left open TO Demo-
cratic Representatives and Senators
to give a nominal support TO the Ad-
minstration's policy as to armed mer-
chantmen while explaining to con-
stituents that they are thoroughly op-
posed 10 it.
The President could drag the in
surgents to water. but he could not
make them drink. They have escaped
his trap. They are free to continue
their work of undermining his leader
ship. What scanty and dubious glory
he may get out of a refusal by the
Senate and the House to vote on
resolutions affecting his conduct of
foreign relations is obscured by the
fact that it was in the interest of the
insurgents in Congress. and not in his
own interest. that a direct vote was
lodged.
The Democratic leaders i'm the two
houses have not rallied willingly be-
hind the President They made a
"scrap of paper of his letter to Mr.
Pou. They still mean to embarrass
him, to block his legislative plans and
to weaken his prestige as a candidate
for reelection. His hands will be
strengthened, so far as his armed mer.
chantmen policy is concerned, by the
votes in the House and the Senate
That is a gain for national honor anC
good faith. But so far as the re-es.
tablishment of his leadership Of the
Democratic party is concerned his
/ campaign against the insurgents il
J Congress has clearly failed.

Free Scholarships

We wish to heartily second MIR.
Cooper, candidate for Governor,
in his position on free scholar
ships. He advocates instead of
the scholarships q loan to the
student which is to he repaid
after school days are over at the
beneficiary conveniense. How
ever we want this loan fund to
be available to the BOYS and
girls, from the first grade on up
as we can see no valid reason
why tine system has been as il is
thaC we help the college student
and fail to help the pupils CT the
common schools. We have al
ways contended that if any boy
and girl is the possessor Of a
common school education that
college course is easily obtained
where there is the right effort
on their part.
Now as to the financial part
of the proposition let US suppose
that in this state we spend
800, 100000 on scholarships.
Convert this into loan fund as
shown above. If only seventy
five per cent repay loans (Which
we submit is larger. per cent
of non payers than would actual
ly materialize) then the State
is only out $25, 100000 as against
the 800, 900. 90 as expended un-
der the old plan. This surplus
would make nice fund for loans
to common school students, and
remember this that instead OF
being an object of charity, as
under our present system, the
recipient would, under the loan
plan, be simply the borrower
under a business proposition.
Next week we shall endeavor tO
show that more than one-half
the girls and boys of this and
other counties who have been
educated under the scholarship
plan have been children Of par.
ents who were well able to give
them an education without ask.

To Protect Health,
Americas S First Duty

Washington, d. g., July Il
The estimated economic loss
which our nation suffers each
year from typhoid fever and ma
lar!a alone aggregates 1923, 234,-
$50, leaving out of entire account
the sorrow, the unhappiness,
the misery, and the inefficiency
which follow in their train"
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of
Louislna today addressed the
Senate on the subject of Rural
Health, Americas First Duty"
"The greatest asset which our
country can have" said SEN
tor Ransdell, 'is the healthy
American citizen, and valua BILE
as it may be TO increase the
health of livestock and vegeta-
tion, it is of far greater i'm port
ance that we throw every possible
safeguard about the health of
the man who is responsible for
that livestock and vegetation.
Over 900 million dollars lost
every year. A sum which is
sufficient to put our country into
a state of preparedness equal to
that of any nation in the world
enough money to give US the
largest navy afloat and the most
efficient army which the world
has ever seen, is annually offer
ed up as q sacrifice to two dis.
eases which are entirely preven-
table. Enough money to pay
the annual expense of every col.
lege student in the United States
is absolutely throwa away every
year"
Senator Ransdell estimate:
the grand total loss from typhoic
fever at $271 1882, $50 per annun
and the loss from malaria a
1904, ,904, ,750 per year; the tota
per capita loss from these tw,
! diseases being $9.48. By com
parative estimates it was showi
that the United States Govern
| ment appropriated $5,016, ,175 fo
3 the investigation and preyentio
d. of the diseases of animal an
plant life and only $2.917 SO
r for the investigation and prever
ton Of the diseases of man.
