cARRANzA WINS BY CUNNING.

Venustiano Carrana is the most successful
thimblerigger in the field Of intentional poll
ties that recent years have seen, except, per-
haps. old Abdul Hamid, of Turkish aroma. he
can carry insult and offense to the very verge
of open hostilities and then suddenly sing SO
sweetly that attack upon him becomes unthlnk-
able; he can gain every point he started out TO
make while pretending to yield all essentials
he can make his adversary who is in the right
seem to be in the wrong; he can dazzle his own
people with an illusion of glittering success
while the real winner, his opponent, sinks out
of the dispute with shabby feeling of having
been whipped
Carranza IS pacific note coming on top Of his
week before last outburst of venom is mas
terpiece of triumphant meanness. Of course 1T

vino circulates manifestos telling the Mexican
people that his troops are driving us back. The
first chief, all the while, waves before the ap-
plaudng populace the outrageous statement OF
Foreign Minister Aguilar, pretending to reply
TO our state departments note demanding that
Carranza define his attitude.
How cunning and how INSCRIPTIONS the jug
gle is! So far as is known to the people of the
Chlted STATES, Agullar'S statement was never
presented at Washington. Therefore our gov
eminent has neither the obligation nor OPP
portunity Of controverting its statements and
rebullng Its insolence But it was given out in
Mexico City and telegraphed to the American
papers, which naturally published it broadcast
Thus, American citizens have to suffer the hu-
imitation OF having it addressed to them while

pRoPER PAVING NOT A FAD.

The paving of streets in a proper manner
with material that will ontwear the adverse
views of opponents of permanent improve
ments, as ordered by the city council, is step
that will in time be recognized as safe and
economical one Those who advocate brick and
cement paving are not faddists, no more so than
are those who would have streets brightly IL
Illuminated at night, schools built or thorough
fares kept clean. Certainly, the views OF those
who advocate macadam pavements are entitled
to respectful hearing; on the other hand, utility
and lasting quality will outweigh any argu-
ments presented in favor of the dust-ralslng
proposition.

Since Thursday, our streets have
been decorated Cd with the tents OF
a carnival company. A merry-go-
round, a muscle tester-altogether
about a dozen tents of various sizes.
Their appearances does not indicate
a very high degree OF prosperity. Per-
haps they have been finding other
towns besides Hamilton where the
spare, loose cash is not as plentiful
as is desirable. They have some
good music, at least when heard some
five or six blocks away. but 1t Is
canned music with the merry-go-
round. No doubt some OF the young
er people enjoy this sort Of amuse-
ment. but even il we had money to
burn-which we have not at present
we would not choose that sort OF
fire.

Conference Report on Big
Army Bill

Washington, August S-Administra-
ton leaders believed tonight that they
had won their nfht for authorization
by Congress Of the big naval building
program, including four dreadnaughta
and four battle cruisers for 1917
drawn up by the Senate Naval Com
mittee after conferences with Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Daniels.
Majority Leader Kitchin, in serving
notice oday that he would call up the
bill in the House next Tuesday, an.
nounced that Chairman Padgett, of the
House Naval Committee, one of those
who held out in conference against
the Senate increases. would move that
the Senates amendments be agreed
to. Earlier in the day Mr.. Padgett
and Senator Swanson, ranking Dem
ocrat of the State committee, had
talked over the subject with President
Wilson, who is understood to have re-
iterated his belief that authorization
of the building program was impera-
tive.
Careful Canvass Made
Senator Swanson said tonight lead
ers had made a careful canvass of the
situation and we're confident that the
Senates personnel increases and con-
tinuing building program would be &C
cepted by the House along with the
building increases for 1917. A call
was sent broadcast to absent Repre-
sentatives to be on hand for the vote
Tuesday.
Senator Swanson said no doubt re-
manned that the Senate's naval pro-
gram would be approved.

of the situation and are confident of

BIG QUESTION FOR
JUDGES TO DECIDE
Rugby Attorney Hands Supreme
Court a Most Perplexing
Question.
Question.

who Is WhO?" on the supreme
cOnrt bench of North Dakota, is a
question that was almost settled yes
terday. Certain it is that no district
judge has the weight or dignity to
grace the bench. without having the
question brought up. While Supreme
Court Justice A. NJ ChristiansOn
might not register as much on an
honest weight scale as some of tho
other men on the bench, in the mind
of well known Rugby attorney, his
opinion on legal question carries
some weight, and the Rugby barrister
wanted 22-karat supreme court
when his case was heard.
Judge Christianson was disqualified
to sit in a case which was argued
yesterday, in which the Rugby attOr-
ney appeared. He had been more or
less interested in the case before he
took his seat on the supreme bench.
Tn view Of the foregoing fact, District
Judge Hanley sat in his place. The
Rugby attorney used considerable
valuable time in an effort to con-
vince the other members of the
bench that his case was too import
ant and his argument too good to be
heard by any but the complete court.
