GARRISON. PATRIOT.

Lindley M. Garrison. former secretary
of war in the Wilson cabinet, showed
himself to be a man above petty peev
ishness by volunteering to give aid t.
his successor, N. ID. Baker, during the
rush of details incident to the sending OF
United States troops into Mexico. A
man of smaller calibre would have stood
aloof from the administration with which
he had had differences over policies and
would have left his successor to work
out the trying problems as best he might.
But Garrison proved himself first of all
a patriotic citizen and he went at once
to the war department with the tender
of his services in whatever capacity they
should be desired until such time as the
new secretary of war had gained the
mastery of his problems. For his act the
former secretary of war strengthened the
good opinion which was maintained to-
ward him by citizens of all parties and
all walks of life. Needless to say, the
new secretary of war accepted the prof
fer in the same patriotic spirit in which
il was made, and the two are now work
ing in harmony to the good OF the ma
ton.

There, should he determine to make a
stand against the United States punt
tive expedition, he would find natural
defense according to his accustomed
mode Of warfare; and it would be very
difficult for the United States to dis
lodge him and his band completely. The
delay in sending troops after Villa I'M
doubtedlv means that no slight prepare
tions will be necessary in order to round
up the leader and that the work will be
strung out over long period. A great
er degree of promptness might have i'm
mediately accomplished what it will take
weeks, perhaps months, to do nov that
these bandits have got such long start.
The United States has set out on diff
feult task, not an insuperable task, how
ever.

Permission by the United States gov,
eminent for General Carranza to send
troops into the United States, if neces-
sary, to pursue plotters against the de
facto government in Mexico would be
little more than technical inasmuch as
such contingency is not to be expected.
No Villa bandit as such, or rather known
to be SUCH would have the temerity to
cross the Mexican boundary line into the
United States, for he knows that he
would be dealt with most summarily if
detected. The safest place for Villa and
his men is in Mexican territory, and even
that territory promises not to be over.
safe. Therefore, permission of the above
nature win be merely balm to the pride
of Carranza.

THE DELAY OK THE MEXICAN

There is no doubt that the delay in

DOUBLE DEFEAT AT END.
Spaulding High Ended Schedule at Stowe
and Morrisyille.

The Spaulding high school basketball
team returned yesterday from two-day
trip to Stowe and Morrisville. Both the
game Friday night with Stowe high
school and that OF Saturday night with
Peoples academy were defeats for the
Barre team though in both games the
Spaulding five started off well, These
two games finished the 1916 schedule for
spaulding, leaving her well down on the
list With practically a new team to
start on. Coach Browns problem of turn
ing out a winning team was hard one
Next year, with a veteran team, the re-
suits should be different and the Spauld-
ing fans hope TO see their team near
the head of the list. There is no ques-
ton that Spaulding has good material in
the present team and with little more
experience there is reason to believe that
their work will be much better.
The Game at Stowe.
The first half Of the Stowe game was
anyone's until the end, Stowe finishing
the period single basket ahead OF the
visiting team Both teams played hard,
clean basketball and no points were
made ON fouls. Each of the Spaulding
men scored in this half, while Heath
Houston and Chaffee secured all the
points for Stowe.
In the second half Spaulding fell stead
lily behind until the end OF the game
found her with the small end Of 80 TO
70 score. Chaffee and Houston scored re-
peatedly and Heath helped out with two
baskets and a couple of fouls for the
stowe team. Heath and Chaffee starred
for Stowe and Mann and Carroll divided (
honors for the Spaulding aggregation,
considering the game as whole.

The Peoples Academy Game.

Spaulding started off with a rush and
secured big lead on the home team in
the first part of the game. Geals was
shooting them in from all corners and
shot no less than five baskets in the first
period. Mann and Carroll secured two
each and the score at the end of the first
half stood, Spaulding Is, Peoples II.
The hope Of the Spaulding fans was
lost in the second half, however, for the
team seemed to have lost its stride.
Mann and Carroll failed to score at all
in the second period and Nichols con-
tributed only foul 1t was in this pc
riod, and especially in the last 10 min
utes of it, that Battye, Silloway and
Badger got going. The first two men
toned got four baskets each from the
floor and Badger Gagged three nice shots.
Battye also made good on two free
throws. For the whole game, Geals
starred with seven baskets, Battye and
Badger being close seconds with five bas-
kets each.

PARTY HARMONY AND the NEW C0UH-
~ CHAIRMAN

There has never been a more
harmonious meeting than that
held by the Republican execu-
tive committee of Mcdowell
county at WEIGH last Saturday
There were mem bers of the com
mittee present representing
every shade of political thought
in the Republican party and all
united and agreed for the sue
C ass of the party this fall.
The selection of McGinnis
Hatfield as chairman meets with
the hearty approval of the great
majority OF Repu blicans in Nc
Dowell. he is strong, able, &C
tive, energetic, fearless, an as
tute politician. One of the young
or set who will infuse new blood,
put new life into the party and
will wage such a vigorous and
aggressive fight this fall that the
Democratic party which is now
hopelessly in the minority in
this county will be So demoral-
lied that they will hesitate for
many years to come to put up a
ticket in this county. MIR. Hat
field is very popular with the
masses OF voters and by his
matchless lighting qualities will
inspire them with renewed cour-
age and enthusiasm.
The young chairman has no
rose-strewn road to follow, nor
has he an easy record to beat be.
cause he succeeds that brilliant
and versatile politician. the Hon.
w. w. WHITE, who has been a
terror TO Democrats i'm both
county and state for % years
and who retires with an unbr,-
ken record Of success over the
party of the Donkey. But it is
the consensus of opinion that the
new chairman has the making OF
just such another leader who will
keep the G. o. p. in the ascend
ency IN Mcdowell county and
roll up enormous msjorities for
the state ticket.
