Wilson Acts as House Trims.

II there was rejoicing yesterday because
President Wilson took forward step in the
direction OF restoring the United States to a
recognized and respected place among nations,
by ordering out the militia of three States to
protect American lives and property along the
Mexican border, it was tempered by the an
nouncement that the House of Representatives
had rejected the Senate's provisions for the
organization OF an army of 10000 men. That
the House should vote so decisivcly against an
adequate army at the very time when all indi-
cations point to early with Mexico is
deplorable, if not surprising.
There was at least reason to hope that the
very apparent drift toward actual hostilities
between United States and Carranza forces
would have convinced the House of the wisdom
OF the Senatcs plan for an army of a quarter
Of million. The opinion OF those best quail
ihed to speak is that at least that number of
men would be required to make a reasonably
quick and thoroughly successful job of it in Mex
ico without taking into consideration other pos
sibe demands for army If the House is
willing that this great and rich nation should
have army larger than its present nucleus,
why should it refuse to vote for an army large
enough to be adequate and instead adopt as
its plan mere feeble pretense of prepared
ness?
The calling out of the militia is gratifying,
even though it comes two months later than
it should have come. 1t may be profitable as
we'll painful however to reflect that if the
militia had been modified and the border given
proper projections from the day that the punitive
expedition moved, the Glenn Springs raid would
not have been attempted. Likewise it was ap-
parent to most students of the Mexican situation
that the United States should have been pre-
Jared for war with the forces OF the Carranza
government when Pcrshing's army was sent in:
and now the conclusion scarcely be avoided
that VIC must decide between withdrawal at
the bchcst of Carranza and Obrcgon and war.
In all OF its dealings with Carranza the
United States government has been dupcd, de-
ccivcd and buncoed, and it is now negotiating
tor more Of the same treatment. No agree
mcnt that may be arrived at with Carranza or
Nbrcgon will be worth anything unless it be
an agreement that the United States troops shall
he withdrawn at an carly date If a grudginC
consent to their remaining is given they will
he attacked and we shall have driftcd into war.
Therefore it would seem that VIC should decide
at once between withdrawal or going to war
And il war is the decision let us hasten to pre-
pare for it and try to make up for some of
the time lost since the Vera Cruz invasion and
the much more precious two months thrown
away since the punitive expedition started.
Surely this is no time to permit the little
army men to have their way in Congress- 1t is
scarcely to be doubted that the President would
quickly be voted adequate support Of a definite
and vigorous Mexican policy were he to pre-
sent the true situation to a Joint session Of the
two Houses.
The Washington herald., 1916-05-10

In 1875 an Independent National
party came upon the field. to make
the issue of legal-tender notes by the
government, in place alike of gold and
silver, the chief point of its protest
against the programs of the two regu-
lar parties.
To the country it was known as the
"Greenback Party"
The notes which it demanded should
be issued were to be practically ire
deemable, being convertible, not into
gold or silver, but Into United States
obligations merely"
1t was practically repeating the de-
mand of the Labor Reform party OF
four years before for "a purely ma
tional circulating medium, based on
the faith and resources of the nation,
and issued directly to the people with
out the intervention of any system of
banking corporations" in order that
there might be established "a just
standard of the distribution of capital
and labor"
On all hands there was manifest a
growing uneasiness because of the ap-
parent rise of monopolies and the con-
centration of capital in the hands of
comparatively small groups of men
who seemed to be in a position to
control at their pleasure the productive
industries OF the country. because OF
the power of the railways to deter
mine by discriminating rates what
sections of the country. what indus
tries, what sorts OF products and of
manufactures should be accorded the
easiest access to the markets; because
Of the increase in the cost of the nee
essary tools OF industry and of all
manufactured goods through the oper-
alton of the tariff-the inequitabIe
clogs which seemed to many to be put
by the law itself upon the free and
wholesome rivalries of commerce and
production.
The farmers of the West and South,
no less than the workiugmen of the
Industrial East, had begun. close upon
the heels of the war, to organize
themselves for the protection and ad-
vancement of their own special inter-
,ests to which the programmes of the pO-
litiCal parties paid little heed.
Between 1872 and 1875 the local
/ oranges" of a secret order known as
the Patrons of Industry had multiplied

in a very significant manner, until
their membership rose TO quite a mil
lion and a half and was spread over
almost the entire Union.
1t was the purpose OF the order to
promote by every proper means the
interests OF the farmers of the coun-
try, though il was no part of its plan
to agitate questions of politics. put
candidates for Office into the field at
elections, or use its gathering power

self
Its discussions turned often on ques-
tions OF transportation. upon the rail-
ways and their power to make or
ruin: 1t was but a short step in such
field from an association for mutual
protection and advice to a political
party organized for the control of leg
islstion.
''Grangers" were not always to be held
off, therefore, by their prudent leaders
from using their numbers and their ready
concert OF action 10 further or defeat the
ambitions Of particular groups Of poIiti-
clans; and even while their oranges grew
other organizations Of farmers came into
existence whose aims were frankly and
openly political.
About the time OF Mr.. Hayes's acces-
sion to the presidency independent asso-
Citations began to make their appearance
in the South and in the West under the
name OF the Farmers Alliance" whose
common object it was TO oppose mono
poly and the power OF money in public
affairs in the interest OF those who had
neither the use Of capital nor the pro-
lection Of tariffs.
The first Alliance" made its appear
anCe in Texas. to prevent the wholesale
purchase OF the public lands Of the state
by private individuals.
The organization spread into other
southern States. and with its extension
went also an enlargement OF its pro-
Eramme of reform.
Almost at the same time a National
Farmers Alliance" was established in
Illinois which quickly extended its organ
ization into Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa.

Cymric Attack Breaks No Promise

No complication will be added to the issue
between this country and Germany as a result
Of the sinking Of the White Star Line steamer
Cymric, by a torpedo from a submarine Even
should it be discovered that it is not true. as
reported that the vessel Lad been taken over
by the British admiralty for its exclusive use.
thus giving 1t the status of ship of war. the
undlspucd fact that she carried no passengers
and that her cargo consisted only of war mu-
nItIonS, would deter this government from tax
ing the position that an attack on her was in
violation OF Gcrmany's pledge to refrain from
destroying merchant ships that do not offer re-
s'Stancc or attempt to escape. The further fact
that there were Americans among the crew
engaged in this extremely hazardous business
five being killed by the explosion Of the tor
pcdo-alsO would tend to relieve this govern
ment OF concern. 1t may we'll be assumed that
the Germans were fully informed of the char
actcr OF the vessel and her cargo, and even if
no warning was given to so dangerous a
craft 1t IS reasonable to believe they acted with
due regard for the new orders to submarine
commanders and confidence that the pledges to
the United States were not being violated
The position of this government is quite clear
IN Berlin and there is not the slightest excuse
tor interpreting silence in the case Of the Cvmrc
as an indication that Germany will not be held
rigidly to her promises

Democratic Legislation.

In spite Of their shortage Of Congressional
leaders of frst-claSs ability, the Democrats will
be able to point during the campaign to a sur
prisng record of legislation. The most i'm
portant item will, of course. be the Federal re-
serve and currency law. Between now and
election there will evidently be added law es-
tenn. This will emphasize the paradox that a
party which has been such a prey to financial
heresy in the past should register in precisely
cess. While the campaign will chiefly turn.
according to present Indications and past ex,
gerience, on other issues, it will not do for the
Republicans to ignore the fact that their 1egis-
lativc record will yield the Democrats cam
paign material of a very valuable sort 1t is
not less valuable because some of the things
which the Democrats will point to among
the unfulhlled promises of the Republicans dur
ing their period of power.-Sprngheld Repub-

A Strike of Mothers.
BY JOHN u. BARRY.

From group Of mothers l have just re-
ceived very interesting letter. 1t says that
they are trying to start a strike against the
school conditions their children have to meet,
by urging mothers to keep the children out of
eongested school rooms. | hope they will
succeed So far as | am aware theirs would
be the first strike of mothers on record And
it's about time that mothers did something OF
this kind They have been altogether too
suffering and too patient | could suggest
many things they might strike against besides
the present grievance, OF inequality of advant-
age the part of their children in starting
life, for example with the many resulting
handcaps. If they were to follow this clue
alone we should have rebcllious mothers in
dieting our whole social system Now that
they have the vote in California and else
where and working up to their chance
there's no knowing how far they will go.
Just now, considered from the conservative
point OF view, mothers are plainly dangerous
class.

SOAP AND OINTMENT

My trouble started with little red PIN
piles breaking out all over my fingers which
cracked open and bled. In a short while
they spread all over both hands. My hands
we're much inhamed and the little red PIN
pies soon became a solid scale. Soon ny
hands became such sights that was
ashamed to let any one see them. and they
itched and burned so that could not sleep
but scratched all the time.
Il suffered this way at least four years.
7 saw in a magazine that Cuticura Soap and
Ointment were good for tetter and I wrote
for free sample In less than two DAYS
the itching had stopped and the terrible
burning was less, 50 I got a large box Of
