in the inhabitants Of Northern
Mexico a consciousness Of their
rights and responsibilities which
makes them peculiarly responsive
to the leadership of an honest COM
moner like Carranza, The spread
through the northern states Of the
insurrection against Huerta and the
final downfall of that lecherous ty-
rant is familiar TO the American
people. As frst chief Of the revo-
lutionary forces General Carranza
became the chief executive Of Mex
leo and was duly recognized a.
such by the government Of the
United States.
Carranzs is q liberal scholar,
typical plsins-msn, stern and sys-
temahe in his habits, a total ab.
stainer from liquor and tobacco
and a man Of uncompromising hon
esty. In personal appearances he
is above the average Mexican in
stature. rugged and well poised. He
has high forehead, strong features
and wears a full beard.
As president Of the republic it
has been his one purpose to admin
lister the affairs of Mexico in q busi-
ness-like manner, and to enforce
the laws impartially and to do
justice TO all the people regardless
of rank or station. This policy has
brought his administration under
the relentless condemnation Of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy that has
so long plundered Mexico and
trampled on the rights of the peo-
pie. The hierarchy, which is known
in Mexican politics as the clerical
party, enlisted the active co-opera-
tion Of capitalists whom Diaz had
drawn into Mexico by his rlinous
concessions granted for that pur-
pose. II has been the deliberate
purpose Of this combination b
crush the Csrrsnza government with
financial embarrassment and to
poison the minds Of the American
people against it BY the deliberate
and wholesale invention and publ
cation throughout the United States
of persistent and groundleSs false
hoods as to the policy Of the Car
rama administration and conditions

On April 25th, something hap
pened in the United States Senate.
Something of real interest and
significance TO men and women who
think.
Woman suffrage was under con-
sideration and everything was going
as usual in the staid and proper
Upper House, when suddenly, as by
magic, the subject was lifted from
the even tenor Of academic discus
sion and related in a vital and def
mite way to the mighty world con-
fict between democracy and all those
allied forces of privilege and des-
potism that have waged unceasing
war on popular sovereignty since

Tacies and hierarchies.
Senator Shafroth was pleading
the cause Of woman, when Senator
Robert L. Owen rose 10 his feet and
did the unusual thing; startling
those who do not want to think
broadly and fundamentally, no less
than the servants Of Old World
ideals and subversiye influences BY

JACKSON ENGINEER
FOR SOMERSET COUNTY
Former Member OF Legislature Re

Princess Anne, Md, Dec. 12.-The

l.. Porter, East Princess Anne dis
trict; Herschel V. Maddox, Weston

SENATE WOULD
BAR ASIATICS
Adopts Phelan Amendment Fixing
Geographical Areas.

Washington, Dec. 12.-After an.
other day of debate over the exclu-
sion of aliens on account of race, the
Senate late today adopted the COM
mittee amendment to the immigra-
tion bill which would bar Hindus
and certain other Asiatics without
mentioning them by name, with an
added provision stipulating that
nothing in the act shall be constru-
ed to repeal any existing law. treaty
or agreement which serves to pro-
hibit or restrict immigration.
This added stipulation. proposed
by Senator Phelan, of California, is
designed to replace the direct refer
ence to the so-called gentlemen
agreement" with Japan, which was
stricken out of the House bill by the
Senate Committee at the request Of
the State Department.
The committee amendment pre-
scribes certain geographical areas
from which immigrants shall not be
admitted, instead of naming the
races or nationalities, as was done In
the bill as it passed in the House.
Senator Phelan gave notice that he
would offer another amendment to
prohibit the entrance of so-called
Japanese picture brides" into the
United States.

Government Prevent

Complete refutation of the claim
that the government does not con.
Germ itself with the loss from pre-
ventable disease is contained in the
annual report of the Surgeon Gen.
erai of the Public Health Service
submitted to Congress this week. Ac.
tivities ranging from the prevention
and cure of blindness, scientific
studies Of pellagra, the protection OF
the health Of industrial workers, the
prevention of the Introduction OF
typhus fever, Investigations Of child
labor and health insurance, the Grad.
ication of communicable diseases
and the control of the pollution OF
navigable streams. are recorded and
demonstrate conclusively that the
national government is vitality con-
cerned in the health of its citizens
The most striking achievement OF
the year relates to pellagra, an az
Fiction which in certain States de-
stroys more lives than tuberculosis.
Pellagra is no longer a disease OF
mystery as the Public Health Ser
vice has clearly shown that it is
caused by a restricted diet and that
it may be prevented and cured by
means of a properly balanced ration.
The practical application of this
knowledge has already resulted in a
material reduction in the prevalence
of this affection in all parts of the
country and it is confidently believ-
ed that in another year even more
marked improvement will be OBJ
served.
In the eradication of trachoma, a
contagious disease of the eyes fire
1uently terminating in blindness,
such marked success has been OBJ
tanned that the methods followed, the
converting of private residences in
to small hospitals and the holding of
free open air clinics, have been adop-
ted by tie Egyptian government.
Increased interest was shown by
the government in the health Of ru-
raj jewellers and Congress has recog-
nized, by making an appropriation
for studies in rural sanitation, that
the welfare of the country resident
IS not t ODE neglected.
Attention has also been given tc
the health Of the children of the ma
ton, more especially to rural school
children. Over $4,000 children at
tending the public schools were ex-
amined during the year in order to
determine their mental status and
the causes and percentage of mental
retardation and deficiency. In add
ton, 1000 physical examinations
were completed for the determine
ton of physical defects.
At the Marine hospitals and relief
stations of the service approximately
$4,000 benefciaries received medical
or surgical treatment, a number
greater bv 10000 than for any pre-
vious year.
