TINED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE TYPHOID T SITUATION HERE AND MEXICAN IMBROGLIO

THE decided spread of typhoid fever
 in and about Birmingham must
 have a cause.
 As the local physicians and health off, cers have not been able to discover the cause it Is well indeed that the gov ernment be called upon to send an ex- pert here.
 This disease should be stopped in its incipiency. The health department of the United States government has made a study of it and has conquered it in the army. The government officials have suppressed typhoid fever in every section where they have been called upon for advice. and action Why not let us call upon them to aid us in Birmingham i'm mediately?
 We have had enough troubles in Bir- mingham--financial and otherwise-during the past two years. Precautionary steps and the greatest publicity to arouse the co-operation of all citizens is necessary just at this time, when we have more than an hundred cases here.
 President Wilson, before the Press club in New York, undoubtedly expressed the highest sentiments and ideals of the American government His speech was that of statesman as well as a scholar. He does not want war with Mexico. Neither do any of us. Public sentiment in America is for a peaceful government, We do not want the enmity of any other government, nor would we interfere with another without great cause.
 But, unfortunately, the Mexican people of the lower type have taken most in tense dislike to everything American and many of them, not content with murder ing Americans in Mexico, have repeatedly

KING FOR A WEEK

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
 In 1647, when the Kingdom of Naples was under the grinding rule of Spain' fisherman of Sorrento was stung to mad ness by the indignities offered his wife
 by Spanish officials because she had at-
 tempted to smuggle few handfuls or flour. So furious was he that he tore down an edict that had just been posted by the authorities.
 The whole population, including women and children, rallied around hirn. Forty years of Spanish oppression had made them frantic. They terrified the viceroy resisted the soldiers successfully and killed many of the Spanish residents They secured a revocation of oppressive edicts, the abolition of oppressive taxes and full pardon for all who engaged in the insurrection.
 The fisherman, whose name was Mark nielo, was the leader in all this. and be- came the idol of the people. He ruled Naples for seven days. but his success seems to have turned his head. He be- came dictatorial and oppressive and was put to death by the populace. Hence he is called the 'seven days king"

NO ROOM FOR PLAGIARIsTs

NO ROOM FOR PLAGIAHISTS. From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle.
 The expulsion of member of the Ma tional Press club, who was recently charged by the Atlantic Monthly with imposing upon that periodical, and sell ing it stolen story, brings out clearly two important characteristics of what may be called the literary industry Of the day. Not only did the Atlantic peo- ple-who had sent the form containing the story to press before the fraud was discovered-frankly admit that their reader had been deceived, but made such amends as was possibly by publicly de- nouncing the fraud. The other outstand- ing and gratifying fact is that the of- fender was promptly expelled from an association, membership in which IS rightly regarded as distingulsneo honor. Thus the Atlantic Monthly has adhered to it's traditions and has treated the incident as it deserved. The action of the National Press club also will cause no surprise, for 1t has ever re- garded plagiarism as one of the cardinaI sins.

Standard Oil Men in Militia

"Officials of the Standard Oil company" said E. l.. Pauley, special agent in Bir- mingham, have ruled that all employees who are members of the state guard and who may enlist in the United States army for service in Mexico or on the Mexican
 border, will, upon their return from ser-
 vice, if within one year. be given their original positions where possible, or posi-
 tions paying the same salary and that
 during their absence in the service of
 the United States army, we will pay their
 regular salaries less the amount they
 may receive as pay from the United States army.
 If it should be found necessary for any employe to remain in the service of
 the United States army for a period greater than one year. this company will consider an extension of time on applica- 1 tion from the employe at the expiration of one year. During the period of enlist | ment salaries will be paid to any one | whom they may designate in writing or il | may be credited to their account and held | subject to their order.
 1 T believe We have already been advised of all the salaried employees who are members of the militia. but I am merely | stating this. as an explanation of our atti- 1 tude and what is stated above applies tc ] those who are already members of the
 state guard"

The President, up to date. has handled the situation without excitement or im- pulse.
 Of course there must be fighting. but as soon as the lower type of uneducated bandits and soldiers are taught that. the American government means business and are not in Mexico for conquest, the end will be quickly reached.
 The people of that country are on the verge of starvation. If we aid them and feed them and put them to work, assur- of the protection of their property and rights, the great majority of them will be pro-American and eager. to welcome our army before Christmas.
 In dealing with the lawless element we have job on our hands, however, like unto that we had in handling the North American Indian.
 When we do enter Mexico we should plainly declare our purposes and act with that extreme vigor and firmness which the situation demands. We should send sufficient troops there to do the work quickly.
 Frank Munsey has bought The New York Sun and has brought it into the fold of the Associated Press.
 This means that The Sun will again be- come the great newspaper it was under Charles A. Dana.
 Munsey has the money, the ability and the newspaper instinct. He has a faculty of knowing men who are bright and of employing them. He likewise knows news and is man of such character that those who know him will hereafter know that when you see it in The Sun it's so."

MARK TWAIN

From the New York Telegram.
 Mark Twain's popularity is in no danger of diminishing to judge by an order just given by his publishers for 1e,0O0 yards of cloth to be used in bind ing his books. If Mark Twain were stili alive and this cloth were stretched out along the New York pavement, we might see the familiar white clad fig- ure walking over this green carpet Al inches wide all-the way from city hall northward to One Hundred and Fifty fifth street.

WHY HUGHES WEARS BEARD
From the Detroit News.

From the DetfOlt NeWS.
 One of the elements which have sup ported the popular conception of Hughes aloofness and austerity is his beard. In a day when boards are the exception rather than the rule the common mind cannot imagine that man with Hughes beard could ever smile. But Hughes smiles as often and laughs as heartily in every day life as any other American.
 The truth about the Hughes beard robs it of all its terrors. Years ago in youth Hughes figured in a runaway accident. He recovered completely. but a long scar on his cheek remained. Soon after that the beard appeared-and it has been doing it's kindly duty ever since.

crossed the border, pillaged our villages and killed the citizens thereof.
 We have sent American troops into Mexico to capture or kill these bandits. The Mexican troops have attacked and killed and wounded our soldiers and the Carranza government has peremptorily ordered us to withdraw all troops It has further accused our President of stating untruths in his message to the Mexican government.
 * *
 The situation has become unbearable. It seems absolutely necessary for us to send troops into Mexico to establish decent and stable form of government, which will nut an end to the banditti infesting the Mexican border and all of northern Mexico.
 It is a serious problem which we have to face. It is similar to the problem Bir- n1ingham faced several years ago in Beat 22, where murders were general and where the Birmingham government felt 1t neces- sary to interfere and bring order out of chaos.
 The American people are compelled to interfere as a government in Mexico. We do not enter that territory for con quest, nor as a grasping people We must do as we did in Cuba. When we shall have established order and a government. the permanent form of that government will take care of itself. The situation will then decide it's character. It can and will be worked out.
 At the present time, we must do our duty as. a nation and as a people, always living up to the principles set forth in American history.
 If the better element of the Mexican people are made to understand our plans and purposes, we shall have their CO., operation.

Delicate Construction of Watch

Not one person in a thousand" said Reid Lawson. the well known ieweler, Appreciates the delicate mechanical construction of his watch. No one would expect to get service out of such big, sturdy piece of machinery as an automobile. with as little attention as he is willing to give his watch.
 "Yet, after all, watch is me- chanical device. True enough, 1t Is of fine construction. and does marvellous things. when one thinks about it. but it is still piece of machinery, and, therefore, requires a certain amount of consideration.
 '"The average watch should be oiled and cleaned about every IS months, in order to give reliable service-and what good is watch. anyhow, unless it is reliable?"
