yielding in its stand for fat repeal,

avert any possibility of sugar going
on the free list even u limited peri
cd.

quoting free sugar speeches OF Dem
ocratic senators in 1918, said he
welcomed the Democrats into the Re-
publican protective tariff fold. Chair

cent a pound was not protective
duty. but under existing conditions
a iustifable duty for revenue only.

Certain to Lead to War.

The administration felt, 1t has been
reported, that any such movement Us
this was certain to lead to war with
Mexico. The development Of oppo-
sition to the smaller punitive expedi-
tlon is held by administration officials
TO have borne out this view. This op-
position, they point out, has devel-
oped despite formal announcement
by the president himself that the sole
object was the capture Of Villa and
that the sovereignty OF Mexico
would not be imperiled.
There is no reason to believe that
the administration has changed Its
viewpoint. If General Scott recon-
mends that the expedition either be
freed Of the restraints imposed by Its
friendly nature and largely reinforced
or withdraw, there seems little doubt
that the latter course will be fol.
lowed.
Easily Brought Out.
Many officials on the border ap-
parently take the same view Of the
probabilities of the situation. They
already have estimated. according to
press dispatches, that General Perish
ing's men could be brought out in
ten days without being exposed te
serious danger OF attack en- route.
Secretary Baker gave out not de-
spatches from the border today. Only
routine matters were reported. The
state department also was without
adyices as to the military situation.
although it received confirmation Of
the fact that Carranza currency had
dropped to two cents on the dollar.
Oficials said the financial outlook Of
the de facto government appeared to
be increasingly gloomy.

Major General Scott May Be
Back in Time to Lay Matter
before the Cabinet.


WASHINGTON, April GA de-
cision as to whether American troops
will be withdrawn from Mexico may
be reached by President Wilson and
his cabinet Tuesday. This was indi-
Gated tonight when 1t was reported
from San Antonio that Major Gener-
al Scott. sent by Secretary Baker to
investigate the military problems
confronted by General Funston and
his men, might be back in Washing
ton in time for his report to be laid
before the regular meeting of the
cabinet on that day.
Secretary Baker declined to dis
cuss the probable meaning OF Gcner-
al Scott's decision to hasten back to
the capital without extending his
quest for information beyond confer
ences with General Funston and his
officers at department headquarters.
officials have consistently refused to
say anything whatever about the
problems under consideration since
the request for the withdrawal OF tho
troops came from General Carranza
How Funston Feels.
1t is known, however, from border
advices that General Funston feels
that he cannot so farther with the
pursuit of Villa than he already has
gone unless he is heavily reinforced
and his hands freed to some extent
at least in dealing with problems of
supply and information beyond the
border. General Scott's desicion to
return at once generally was, taken to
mean that he had reached the SAME
conclusion and would So report to
Secretary Baker.
In this connection 1t is recalled
that President Wilson specifically re-
jected plans for a more extensive
movement in pursuit of Villa mapped
out by the general staff Immediately
after the Columbus raid. The scope
of those plans never has been re-
vealed. but it generally is understood
that they contemplated virtual mil
itary occupation of all that part OF
northern Mexico in which the bandits
might seek refuge. A big army would
have been required, and the whole
territory would have been swept thor
oughly so that no Villa follower could

Oyster Can Move Fast.

The common impression that the
oyster is stationary creature is be-
ing given a rude shock at the Knick-
efbocker theater, where the screen
discloses an alarmed oyster in full and
speedy flight from hungry star fish.
The moving picture is productive Of
many wagers, for few people will be-
lieve that they can be shown BIZ
valve indulging in hop, skip and a
jump. The leaping oyster is shown
on the screen and it is a perfectly
placid thing until the huge star fish
looms up ready for breakfast. Then
the oyster springs into life and darts
across the bottom of the sea with
great bounds. Impetus seems to be
impaired by the sudden opening and
closing Of its shell, but whatever the
source Of the motive power, it en-
ables the oyster to outdistance it's
enemy.-New York Tribune.

FIRST STEEL PASSENGER CAR
the Property of Travelling
Snowman.

The first all-steel railroad passenger
car ever built in the United States
and for that reason in the worlds
still running, and on it's original
wheels. This car, owned by Leo Blon-
din, travelling Snowman, was interned
for the winter at Oklahoma City,
Okla, according to the Kansas City
Star.
Blondin's history of the car is that
it was built by the Tacoma Car COM
pany of New Hampshire in 1879, as a
"dustproof, fireproof wreckproof' pri.
vate car. The car is a sectional steel
cylinder fifty feet long, with eleven
dormer windows on either side. This
car is known to many old time railroad
officials, as it has been hauled over the
principal lines of the United States
for the last thirty-five years. 1t was
exhibited at the Chicago Worlds fair,
after which it passed into the hands
of company that acquired the wreck
age that remained after the closing of
the fair. A fire in the plant of the La
coma company, according to Blondin,
destroyed the records of the cars
whereabouts and the car remained in
Chicago until purchased from the
wrecking company by a Snowman, e.
f. Reed, owner of travelling roper
toire company.
Blondin bought the car from Reed
about nine years ago. Once year the
car has carried Blondin and his com
pany on the Pacific coast circuit.
"The car rides comfortably on the
main lines says Blondin, but be-
cause of her shape and length she rolls
and bounces considerably when the en-
gineer begins hitting up speed on the
! jerkwater branches"
Railroad officials who know the car
! says that it's first off cial occupant was
President Garfield, and that subse-
quently it was used as his funeral car
In it's prime the car was a gorgeous
| affair, a fact attested by it's faded
| splendor. 1t contained three state
rooms a small kitchen, buffet and at
| the farther end an observation parlor
| so small that it seems toylike. The
walls were of leather deeply padded,

still in place.

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money it is, of
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever, it is not necessary to regard the
total cost CT surfacing a road as a
temporary improvement Much Of the
surfacing may be classed as a perma-
nent investment, for it is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
of which Is as much a permanent fea-
ture of construction as the grading
itself. This is particularly true CT
those types of road that are built with
concrete foundations for bituminous
macadam, brick or asphalt surfaces.
1t is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent of the rst-construction
cost Of macadam or more enduring
pavements as permanent investment.
1t is seldom nowadays that hard roads
are permitted to wear into the founda-
ton course OF the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance is as
sured it is safe to say that an average

When They Were Young.

To be able to say of world which
died so years ago, Il remember it, is
a sure entrance to the love and rev.
erence of the young.
1t is a privilege of the old which
cannot be annulled by poverty, nor
by bodily weakness, nor by monotony
of days. 1t shows them forth not as
mere specimens Of longevity, but as
reliquaries, or treasures, guarding
within themselves what is more pre-
cious than themselves.
There is a vile and slipshod phrase
used of old folk-they are called "a
link with the past" Whose past are
they a link with? Not ours, for we
were not there. Not their own, for
nobody can be link with his own
past.
They are not links, they are lives,
and the older they are the more rare
and the more delightful they are, If
only they will tell us of the world as
it was when they were children.

Engineers Tragic Death.

One of the oldest engineers in the
Southern Pacific coast line service
died recently of shock after narrowly
missing an unidentified farmer who
crossed the track in front Of his train
at Chualar. He ran his train into
jacksonville Junction and then col
lapsed at the throttle. He was car
ried into the baggage car and brought
to Salinas for treatment Physicians
said that his death was caused by
sudden enlargement of the heart due
to fright. The locomotive missed the
farmer, who was crossing the track
on a two-spike harrow, by margin of
only three feet.
