The Old, Old Folly
(From the New York Tribune)

Folly comes home to roost quickly
in times of stress. On Monday the
House of Representatives refused, by
decision vote, to give the country the
regular army which IL needs. The POI
members who rejected the Senate
amendment to the Hay bill increasing
the army's peace strength to 25O,000
put the full weight of their moral sup
port behind Mr. Hays program Of an
preparedness. They empowered
him to fight to a finish the Senate's
proposal to create a real army. They
commissioned him to insist on the
maintenance of the present unequal
and irrational balance between regu.
lars and State militia in any agree
ment reached with the Senate on the
army reorganization bill.
The answer 10 this vicious attempt
to hamstring military preparation
came yesterday. President Wilson,
having exhausted all the other mill
tary resources at his command in a
vain effort to protect the Mexican
border, was forced to call on the
militia OF three States-Texas. New
Mexico and Arizona-tO help out the
over-taxed regulars. Every infantry
and cavalry post in continental United
States has been stripped to the last
man to guard the Southern boundary
and to maintain communication with
General Pershing's tiny eXpediti0nary
force.
Unless our government wants TO
use the coast artillery or draft ma
rines from the ships and naval shore
stations, its stock of trained fighting
men is used up. II must turn for aid,
after two months. not OF actual war
but mere policing operations in Mex
leo, to the half-trained, effectively
organized State organizations. which
Mr.. Hay and his followers want 10
make the real backbone Of our mill
tary system.
These state troops are an impOssi-
BILE reliance in case of emergency. II
is not their fault that they are useless
for first line purposes. since they are
properly classihable only as second or
third line material They have had a
very limited field training. They are
not organized as regiments in the
modern sense No militia regiment in
Texas. New Mexico and Arizona has a
supply company or a machine gun de-
teachment Their staff service is de-
fective. They are not fit to campaign
in difficult country like that along the
Mexican boundary. and under the linn
itations Of the Constitution they are
not subject to service beyond the
border. They can do guard duty to a
certain extent and thus relieve regu
Evening journal., 1916-05-11

The Presidents action in calling out
the 5000 members of the National
guard in Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona IN assist in patrolling the
Mexican border is evidence both of
serious situation and Of the unpre-
paredness OF the United States to
meet il.
In addition to the national guards
men, three regiments of regulars have
been ordered to the border. from such
distant points as Plattsburg Barracks.
Seattle and Spokane. Their departure
will leave the country, stripped Of reg
ular troops.
Every recent development on the
border points to a clash between the
United States forces and those under
nominal command OF Carranza and
Obregon. as we'll as the bandits under
Villa. The raid at Glenn Springs is
to be followed by others. according to
information furnished by Carranza's
representative, who asserts that these
raids were planned and directed from
the American side.
This assertion may we'll he doubted,
in view of the unvarying mendacity
and bad faith shown by Carranza and
his crew i'm dealing with the United
States. The raiders at Glenn Springs
were Mexicans who shouted "Viva
Carranzal" and "Viva Villa!" as they
shot down and burned their American
victims. Yet Carranza sends his rep
resentative to the State Department
to declare that the raiders we're Amer
leans. or hired by Americans. Evi-
IDENTIFY Carranza hoped to delay or
prevent pursuit Of the raiders. and it
is even reported that he instructed
Gen. Obregon to object to the entry
of the pursuing troops.
Carranza in Mexico City tells the
! American representative that the
agreement between the two govern
ments has been signed. Obregon. al
Juarez, refuses to sign the agreement
and demands that a time limit shall be
fixed for the withdrawal of American

Merely because he is a Republican in
politics is not sufficient reason for
making a change. Efficiency, fitness

in making the new appointment. For
the best welfare of the schools IL is

SET A MARK IN LIFE

Work for something, not for moth
ing. 1t is not wise to live for today.
Without some aim, ones time and
work go for naught. The years go
by and he has nothing to show for
them. II not advancing we are
falling back. If not keeping alive,
growing to something better and
higher, we are becoming weaker and
of less worth. Even though we never
reach the goal, we have made some
advance in striving for it. A good
aim, real purpose in life, makes
worth of character. All have not the
same tastes. There is a wide field
from which to choose what one will
work for. And this is we'll. The
one, universal aim is the same, to
live truer, better lives from day to
day. A life without purpose is
like ship without a rudder. Want
of motive makes life dreary and
monotonous. Nothing satisfies. Bet
ter little talent and much purpose
than much talent and little purpose.
Aim for something worth while and
keep your mark steadily in view
Life will mean much more to you.
You will be more useful to the world,
you will find more satisfaction in
living. Journal.

A prairie fire, which was started
by train about three miles north
west of town, burned strip of coun-
try from the railroad south nearly to
the Ballard ranch house. The first
place in the path of the fire was H.
E. Bellamy's, short distance from
the railroad. They phoned to town
about the fire and several went out in
autos. There was hard wind from
the north and fire was hard to fight.
By hard work Mr.. Bellamy's house
was saved, but the barn was burned.
Luckily the harness and a new saddle
were on the horses and they were
turned loose and saved The fire
burned all around the house. The
fire was kept from spreading but 1t
raced across the country to the e. D.
Smith farm. Here it took hard fight
ing to keep the fire from the build
ings. and then passed on south to
the Ballard place, but it was finally
put out before reaching there.
