Recall Of Pershins's Army.

The Mexican commissioners, now comforting
at New London with American representatives as
to the border relations between the two countries,
will respectfully ask that the United States at
once withdraw its forces from Mexican territory,
Thi: quite reasonable suggestion will doubtless
be Complied with, and thus will end another Of
the little wars in which we have engaged with
Mexico, while "watehfully waiting" for one or
another Of the bands of bandtti to assume definite
control Like the Vera Cruz expedition, the
Pershing invasion started with great flourish Of
trumpets, II had a definite object, the pur,uit
and punishment Of Villa, but the pursuit was
stopped by Carranza or Washington, and the
punishment is yet to be melted out. So far as our
efforts are concerned, Villa may die Of old age
and in the "odor of sanctity"
The blood Of many murdered Americans stains
the soil Of Mexico; the only real battle in which
Pershing's troops engaged was to defend them
selves when attacked BY Carranza's own soldiers
Empty chairs in American homes mark the finish

his gallant men linger where their presence only
serves tofemphasize the failure that ought to be

been Sunspeakable,' but no Americans were slain

Nine Months Work of Congress.

The first session OF the Sixty fourth congress,
ended after nine months of activity, is notable for
several reasons none of which will escape notice.
1t was wholly dominated, throughout its life by
the democratic caucus, and no measure of any
kind got through except by ukase OF the political
cars Of that party, who represent the reactionary
wing entrenched in Bourbonism. While, great
parade is made OF accomplishments, the fact re-
mains that most of the so-called remedial legisla-
ton is either experimental or OF doubtful utility.
The board to rehabtate the American merchant
marine is confessedy an experiment; the boosted
farm land bank law is. admittedly lame; revenue
legislation, enacted TO meet an emergency created
by the democrats is temporary and uncertain; and
SO the reviewer may continue along the list
The revolt OF the dominant party against the
president when it threatened to take the control
OF our foreign relations out OF his hands, will rise
up to confront the spellbinder each time he boasts
OF how Mr.. Wilson's diplomacy kept us out Of
war. That strong faction in congress was will
ing TO surrender American rights at sea- as the
president did on land is not the. least cause for
criticism. Carefully laid plans for public defense
were overturned, a capable secretary Of war being
compelled to resign because he could not endorse
the mutilation Of his work at the hands of con-
fessed opponents Of preparedness And finally,
the promises OF retrenchment were redeemed by
the most stupendous appropriations ever made
the total running well up to two billions of dollars
For the second time bond issue to meet current
expenses was authorized
Closer scrutiny will disclose many more weak
spots in the record of the democratic congress-
just now at recess because most Of its members
are seeking reelection. Appeal will be made to
the public for endorsement or, account Of certain
acts passed because OF their possible political pop
ularity but the deliberate judgment will be made
up on the work OF the body as whole. This
verdict inevitably must be that it was not only
the most extavagant, but generally the most in
efficient session ever held.

Again Medical Inspection.

4 II
| The Bee: Before doing anything in
| the direction of medical inspection in
| the public schools it would be well
! for those who are agitating this ques-
| ton to consider carefully what It
means before going blindly forward
because someone has said 1t Is good
thing. ~ ~
Let 1t be known that the American
Medical association, an organization
composed almost entirely of allopath-
lie doctors, Is the principal influence
advancing plans for various health
(?) legislation. Anyone who cares
to investigate through the periodicals
and other methods used to make
/ known the desires Of this organiza-
ton will observe the following pro-
gram: "a h EE.
1. The desire to establish federal
bureau of health which shall be- DOM
mated by the abovet association and
have plenary powers to enforce Its
views. See, bills now filed in con-
gress.
2. The desire to control all boards
of health, state and municipal.
8. To have medical colleges oper-
ated by the state where the methods
pf the allOpathic system alone shall
be taught, to the entire exclusion Of
any other system of healing.
A. Medical inspection of the pub
lie schools, which, by virtue of state
recognition, would eventually pass
under the control of the above organi-
cation, for the, purpose of educating
children to the views of the allo7
pathic physician, regardless of the
desires of the parents.
1t is easy to understand how those,
who advocate the above program
have visions of eventual compulsory
treatment according to the standard
recognized by the state, regardless of
the achievements of other systems Of
healing. or the intended constitutional
rights of the citizenry. Those who
permit themselves to be led astraFs
through fear, or without investiga-
ton, to the extent of indorsing this
scheme. are only seeking TO deprive
themselves of the individual right to
exercise their> own Judgment in the
choice Of healing methods.
Recently the price Of certain lce7
real showed marked advance I'm one

showed a decline, fully as rapid, Thus
we recognize wherein the insiders"

citing reports operating on the fears

Goyernment by Intimidation.

Government 10y lntimdatlOn.
Florence, Neb., Sept s.--To the
Editor Of The Bee: Now that the
four railroad brotherhood heads have
shown how easy it Is to hold up the
president. and congress we may ex-
pect other organizations to do the
same. Take the BARRIERS, for instance.
There are ten times as many BARRIERS
as there are trainmen. Why should
not a committee Of the BARRIERS I'M
ion appear before the president with
razors in their shoes and demand an
eight,hour day, with ten hours pay,
and threaten to- cut their customers
threats II their demand is not imme-
diately complied with? Then after
all the unions have had their. turns
and have succeeded in getting ten
hours pay for eight hours work 1t will
be the trainmen's turn again to Coz
cree, the president and congress into
giving them a six-hour day, with eight
hours pay.
Government by intimidation is
worse for us in the long run than
any strike could possibly be. We
havel ceased to have a republican
form of government in which the ma
jority rules. We differ from Russia
only in that we have a union broth
erhood of four cars instead Of one
car The result is just the same
government by force. 1t is not the
hours of work that anybody is strik-
ing fort is hours of pay. Who
would not want ten hours pay for
eight hours work? Vow that we
know how to get 1t W. will all be
trying this new and efficient method.
A simpler and less expensive way
would be to hold up. your neighbor
at the point of gun and make him
shell out. BY this simpleI process
you would eliminate all work Why
work at all If you can get money by
intimidation? JOSEPH, WEAVER.

1 FORTUNE In ONE PLAY.

Jean Webster's Daddy Lopg.Legs Has
Won Several Fortunes.
Many men and women write for the
stage, for behind the foot-lights lies
the path that sometimes leads to fort
unes. Daddy Long-Legs has been the
incentive that has deluged producing
managers with manuscripts from as
piring play wrights. For many of them
have seen the wealth that it has piled
up for its producer, it's author and the
pretty girls who have starred in it.,
and want to achieve something like 1t.
When Henry Miller selected the Lit.
tie story book from which he had made
the play which has delighted millions
al over the world even he himself did
not anticipate how much money it
would make For three years three
companies have been breaking records
In it and this season sees it playing to
capacity in London, with one COM
pany still play ing to big business In it
in this country and an Australian pro.
duction pending. How much money
ito producers have made will never be
known put /, ~ close to half million.
When its author, Jean Webster, died,
last spring, Ter estate totaled over one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
most of which had accrued in royalties
on the play and book. Four years ago
pretty Ruth Chatterton was only q
leading woman in one Of the Hitler
companies. Daddy Long-Legs made
her star and now she commands the
salary of railroad president or chair
man Of the board of some big corpor-
alton. Owners of theatres in New York,
Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia n d
London, where Daddy Long-Legs has
enjoyed long runs, look smilingly a.
fat bank balances that resulted from
the profits they have made on it.
But the theatrical path to fortune is
not strewn with such prizes as the
quaint little Jean Webster comedy
Thousands of plays are written but few
reach the stage. OF the few that reach
the stage but one in q thousand is q
success like the story Of sucy Judy
Abbott, who turned her dreams into
realities and furnished the materia
from which Miss Webster wove thu
