MORGAN LIMITS GUESTS TO TWENTY-FIVE

Miss Anna Maxwell Jones. chairman of the art committee of the General Federation of Womcns Clubs thought it would be nice for the ten thousand delegates the biennial meeting to visit J. Pierpont Morgan's famous library while they were in New York. She early arranged program which included all the museums and art galleries and some wealth? persons homes containing objects of interest and felt that the uplift tour would not be complete without glimpse of MT. Morgan's collection of books So she wrote and asked Mir Morgan and he sent favorable reply
 It now develops that there was a msunderstand- ing somewhere and instead of extending the privilege to many cubwomcn desired to visit the library Mr. Morgan limits the nmber to twenty-five. He sent out twenty-five engraved invitations for May 3l, the date he had fixed and left to Miss Jones the task of choosing the lucky twenty-five
 Miss Jones declined She told Mrs William Grant Brown chairman of the whole biennial. that she did lack courage but when it came to meet ing thousands of western and southern women, all eager the inside of that Morgan library, and having them know that she had left them of the favored party, she backed out-New York Sun.

Horses and Streams

A reader who characterized himself a Wilson republican wrote the New York Sun saying:
 "Ex-Governor Hughes is good and wise man, but to adopt Lincons adage never swap horses when crossing stream it equally true never to swap presidents in foreign crisis like the present one"
 To which the Sun aptly and briefly replied
 We suppose the stream referred to is the Mexican situation.
 .The horses and the stream argument will be- come familiar to everybody before the campaign is There is this to be said about it:
 "it makes mighty big difference what of horse you bestriding when crossing the stream
 If it happens to be animal which has boltcd and borne you in spite of yourself into the raging waters. and is floundering there wildly while more trustworthy stecd close hand offers tempting op portunty to transfer should say it the part common and ordinary prudence to swap, any adage to the contrary notwithstanding"

A Mere Incident

The disposition of the government at Washington is to regard the battle of Carrizal incident which may he explained away. Shat the amicablc relations heretofore and existing between the United States and Mexico may be disturbed. It is not easy to how it may be done but when two such eminent and experienced note writers Presi dent Wilson and President Carranza take their pens typewritcrs in hand, it is not unreasonable to expect the utmost. will, perhaps. be brought that neither side blame for the tragedy at Carrza that the collision unavoidable of a fog: that the killing two American officers will be regarded offset by the staying Mexi general; that the death of dozen troopers of crack American regiment will be regarded balanced by the corpses of at least equal number of Mexican soldiers
 Our government, however may vigorously but gently insist the release of prisoners taken by the Mexicans. although unfortunately have prisoners to release in exchange for them. in the of his friendly feeling for this country may be expected to waive disadvantage in respect of prisoners.
 There features of the which difficult explain the satisfaction of the people who must regard the incident least small humiliation to American arms. the killing of number of soldiers capture of others and the retreat of the rest But as we have stated. we suppose all apparent difficulties will be surmounted by two presidents.
 This fact however, stands out insurmountable short-sghted persons: The American troops when they attacked or when they attacked were where they had a right to be- according the last of this government Carranza. .aey where they had been directed to be by their commander in the field. General Pershing. They opposed in their course by a Mexican commander carrying the announced policy General Trevino who said regarding affair that if he had place of General Gomez he would have done precisely as General Gomez did and would do in all future similar circumstances General Trevino is the chief commander in the field acting presumably under the instructions of the de facte government, just General Pershing. under General Funston. is acting under the instructions of the Washington govern small commands but of the two governments. each of which had asserted is purpose, in plain though ratber much language, do the very things that the Americans the part of their government and the Mexicans on the part of their government were trying to do at Carrizal
 It to us, therefore immaterial what imme- diately preclpitaed the fight and it is wholly teral which side fired first Both sides were armed and prepared for encounter which in the circum- stances could have been averted only by side the other turning tail We think the American people have been filled with shame if the American troops had avoided the conflict.

 It is only by continuance of such program of economy is proposed in this ordinance of consoli da ton that the public will be convinced that the or dinance passed purely for purposes of economy
 The people who have been demanding economy however, should accept the ordinance at it's face value and should support it Tuesday. After this they should insist upon further and continued economy.

The Graduates from sinq sinq

A bulletin has just been issued giving the results O a. comparison Of statistics concerning the rchab taon of convics released from Sing Sing prison in each of years from 1911 to l9l5 inclusive. It is apparently candid and disnterested presentation of the data obtained and cannot be fairly regarded as brief either for against the methods of former Warden Thomas Mott Osborne. whose theory and practice of prison reform have aroused widespread interest and discussion. Indeed it is assumed that not sufficient time has elapsed since the release of the prisoners determine whether any considerable portion have returned to lives of have in general been adequately and permanently restored useful citizenship
 It is reasoned that previously sentenced to Sing Sing, whose time expired during the Osborne regime passed the larger part of their prison term under the old system, and therefore their career of freedom and possible return to criminal practices would be fair basis upon which to judge the work of d warden who had charge of them only few months
 It is concluded. though. that the Mutual Welfare League instituted by Warden osborne has powerful influence and directive force hitherto unknown. In the words of the bulletin: "The organization of the outside membership, help convcts stand ing and position of usefulness in society appears be socially economically and politically sound and progressive movement" In support of this contention. reference is made to the cases of members who al though they had successfully escaped from prison and the way was open them to put the world between them and the prison walls unable to break the ties of loyalty their fellow members of the league To prevent the league from suffering they voluntarily returned to prison with full know ledge that they must undergo increased prison tences as penalty for their temporary defection.
