GETTING OUT OF MEXICO.

President Wilson's determination
not to withdraw American troops
from Mexico until Villa is caught or
official proof of his death furnished,
romentarily produced a situation
graver in it's portent than any which
had yet existed in our relations with
Mexico, and only relieved by General
Obregon's decision not to stand pat
on his demand for withdrawal.
The American evacuation of Vera
Cruz was used by Mexicans hateful
Of the United States to spread broad
cast the very wrong impression that
our forces feared longer to remain
there, and this impression in turn
gave rise to indiscriminate and wan
ton disregard of Americans rights.
More than likely the recall of our
troops now would result in much the
same consequences, but this fear was
hardly the consid raticn deciding the
president to permit them to remain
there.
The Persbing expedition was Sent
into Mexico with the very definite
purpose of getting Villa, alive or
dead, and breaking up his bandit
gang. The end has not been achieved,
and the reasons for the failure to
date are no doubt better known to
the Washington government than to
the American people. To withdraw
the troops would be to confess the
expedition abortive, and make our
selves more or less the butt of world
laughter and ridicule. Moreover, with
drawal would be pernicious in it's ef-
fects upon the minds Of the Mexicans.
It would encourage them in the
thought that the United States gov
eminent is not only unstable in pur-
pose, but insincere in announcement
of its purpose, and it would fit into
the mouths Of demagogues phrases
which would enable them further to
inflame the prejudices and to arouse
the dangerous courage Of Mexicans,
who inevitably would conclude Uncle
Sam to be a man to be treated with
contempt, not merely, but to be
openly flouted and possibly shot at

BOOM THE DAIRY CITY.

Manchester is one Of the health.
lest and best Of cities in which to
build home and there are some
reasons for predicting that it is on
the eve Of a business boom. The
good work can be helped by having
all Manchester people say good
things about their home city. When
you meet those who are considering
a change of location, urge them to

MILITIA OF THREE
STATES CALLED OUT
BY THE PRESIDENT.
National Guardsmen Ordered to
the Border.
RAIDS ON TOWNS REASON
Outbreak in the Big Bend District
Causes Wilson to Take Drastic
Action-More Regulars Sent
to Aid Funston.

Washington, May 10.-The first step
toward complete intervention in Mex
leo should Carranza force break has
been taken. President Wilson issued
an order calling into active service
for duty as border guard the Ma
tional Guard of Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona. In an official statement
issued with the announcement that the
militia has been called on for &C
tive service, Secretary of War Baker
stated that the outbreak in the Big
Bend district Of the Rio Grande and
the danger of other outbreaks made it
imperative that more troops be called
into service.
More Regulars Ordered. Z
Simultaneous with the order send
ing the militia to the border, the war
department ordered to the front practi-
cally all of the infantry remaining in
the United States. The militia forces
of the three states mentioned will add
1000 men to Funston's command and
in addition he will get some 5000 regu-
lars, as follows:
The Thirteenth infantry from Platts-
burg, N. Y.
The Third infantry from Madison
barracks and Oswego, N. Y.
Two battalions Of the Twenty-first
infantry from Vancouver barracks and
San Diego.
Two battalions of the Fourteenth In
fantry from Fort Lawton, Wash.
Secretary Bakers Statement.
The statement of Secretary Baker
was as follows:
THE outbreak in the Big Bend dis
trict of the Rio Grande has so far fur
Their emphasized the danger of similar
occurrences along our long border that
the president has called out the mi
litia of Arizona, New Mexico, and
Texas, and directed them to report
to General Funston, who will assign
them stations along the border
In addition to that two additional
regiments of regular infantry have
been directed to proceed to the bor-
der and such further arrangements
will be made as are necessary for the
complete security of the people Of
the United States against raids Of this
character"
The secretary further announced
that the calling out Of the National
Guard of three states for border duty
does not mean change Of policy on
the part of the American government.
There has been as yet no change
in policy" the secretary said. Gen
eral Pershing has reported from tine
to time that there was a cooperative
spirit shown by the Carranzistas. but
very little cooperative activity"

CATO SELLS NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS.

Cato Sells has been too watchful,
as Commissioner Of Indian A.
fairs, to suit the purpose of some Of
the politicians. According to a Wash
ington dispatch there is a scheme on
foot to give Mr.. Sells seat in the
House OF Representatives, and in
that way get him out of the office Of
Commissioner of Indian Affairs. It
Is quite safe to say that Cato will
remain where he is and continue to
perfrom the duties of his office in
manner that will safeguard Indian
rights and disappoint those who are
trying to disregard them.

AN AMAZING EXHIBIT.

Exports for the month of March
have again broken all records, with
an excess over imports of $4,000
900. An excess for the fiscal year
of 100000, 100000 is now as
sured. This is about four times
larger than the average annual ex-
port excess for the five years pre-
ceding the war. It is a balance of
trade in favor Of this country which
is without precedent. 1t is amaz-
ing.

REFLECTED benefits,

Since the democrats met in confer
ence in Des Moines and put up good,
clean, dry candidates for the prin-
cipal state offices, governor and at
torney general there has been not
able increase in interested republi-
cans, And the question most fire.
quently asked by these is, who can
we elect? To republicans who have
looked tho field over carefully the
best answer is Cosson because Of his
record and promise of constructive
service.-Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
publican editors the democrats of
Iowa have selected the strongest tick
ct available, headed by one Of the
best equipped men in the state, re-
CARELESS Of party allegiance.
1t is noteworthy that not one re-
publican editor has expressed the be-
lief that his party will name Or
could name man who would excel
E. T. Meredith in the office of COVER
nor. Many republican editors have
given expression to the fear that
the party will nominate for governor
/ a candidate who will not bear com
parison to his democratic opponent.
The selection of Mr.. Meredith by
the democrats has thrown the repub-
lican leaders, especially the editors,
panic. Some Of them have been
outspoken against the things repre-
scented by one of their leading can
didates and in the event of his nomi-
alton will hardly be able to support
him and square themselves with
their readers.
The democrats are to be commend
cd for offering their best in the ser
vice of the state If Mr.. Meredith
should be elected every legitimate in
tarest in the state would rest secure
in the assurance of his ability and
intentions. Unfortunately the repub-
lican candidates in several instances
are avowed representatives Of fac
lions and do not assume to represent
the sentiment of even their own
party in its entirety.
The democrats, by the selection ct
Meredith and Clarkson, have pro-
claimed prohibition in Iowa an &C
complished fact and, SO far as their
party organization is concerned,
closed incident.
Lieutenant Governor Harding does
not admit that the ''war is over"
He is continuing, within the repub-
lican party, fight against a state
law largely attributed to that party.
Some other republican candidates
base their quest for office on their
avowed purpose to enforce the
law"-one law-just as though SEN
timent toward that law is SO hostile
than an especial effort for its en-
,orcement will be necessary, and
hat especial care must be taken
when selecting officials having pow
sr in that direction.
The democrats and Messrs. Mere
18th and Clarkson assume, as a mat
;er of course, that the state law
will be inforced because it is law,
Ind because the counties will be
supposed to elect prosecuting attor-
leys who will be faithful to their
,fficial oaths. The problem of en-
orcement is, under the plan of Or
.anization of the state, a local mat
er and the thoroughness of the work
will be accepted as a measure Of the
uality of the citizenship ruling

Wednesday afternoon in the persons of
Congressman Nicholas Longworth of

~ Davis, the veteran first baseman of

rain drove them to cover in the fourth
inning. They seemed to be we'll acquaint-

The subject was by no means politics.
1t was baseball every minute and Con-
gresham Longworth, who is a real fan,

Of the two teams and hearing reports
Of the big games as related by Harry
Davis. Harry's views were solicited by
Congressman Longworth as to what he
thought would be the outcome of the
American League and National League
races. From Harry's conversation it ap-
peared that he favored Boston's chances
in the former league and would like to
see Brooklyn come through in the older
league.
Congressman Longworth left before the
second game started. but Harry, who has
been in this vicinity part of the time
this season. remained with the Skowhegan
boys, returning with them in the eve
