FRUIT OR PICKLE, WHICH?
Question Relating to Lines Preserv'
ed in Brine Is Settled.

is lime preserved in brine a fruit
or d pickle?
The collectors of customs have re-
garded them as fruit under conditions
Of preservation and have given them
free entry when imported into the
United States.
They are pickles, now decides the
customs service, which has directed
the change in classification. This will
bring in d revenue of 25 per cent ad
valorem.
The board of customs appeals has
ruled that peppers in brine are pick
les. under the tariff. and regarded nuts
and like articles preserved in brine as
covered under the same definition.
And the board of appraisers, basing
it's findings in this ruling, also con-
slider certain piumlke fruit in brine.
as pickles.
So lines in brine become pickles.

a basis that would justify the state
ment that the platform pledge for a

carried out.
The party IN power has substituted
direct taxation for the less burden
some and indirect method of customs
revenues. Under the protective tariff
system, there was no burden and no
Inconvenience. There was no pay
ment of an extra penny for article
phone call costing more than fifteen
cents. There was no necessity for
banks and corporations to employ eX-
ira clerks to compute the taxes inn
posed by the government.
Thomas Jefferson toward the close
OF his administration boasted that the
American people were no longer an

tions involved in the call of tax coll

purpose not to allow the pursuit of
Villa to grow into Intervention in
Mexico's internal politics, if that
measure Of foresight he and his ad-
yisers possess can prevent it. He
has given heed to the situation in
which Carranza finds himself and the
political difficulties that must inevita-
bly, arise from the crossing of the
frontier by our troops. To minimize
these difficulties and to prevent any
misconception of our plans by the
Mexican people is the task that must
now absorb a large portion of Mr.
Wilson's attention.
That Carranza is not less desirous
than another for the elimination OF
villa is self-evident. If the First Chief
is to complete the establishment OF
his government. villa must be re-
moved fom activity in Mexican affairs.
But Carranza must deal with a pop
ulation jealous and suspicious of the
United States. in many districts Op-
posed to his rule. and generally dis
posed to put the worst Interpretation
on the intrusion of American forces.
His plight cannot be ignored at Wash
ington. and for it every reasonable
allowance must be made in the adj
iustment of the details of our expe-
dition south of the line.
The United States is determined
that villa and his bandits shall be
suppressed, but it does not want war
with the Mexican people.

4 mINr TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.


NOV that our Chamber of Commerce has permitted

liam b. Megear, the new president and Clarence c.
Kilen the new managing secretary, to be the alert
prevent the BaynardCooper clique in the Board of
Education putting something over on the Chamber
That clique is exceedingly unpopular with the pub
lie No part Of its burden Of unpopularty should be
assumed by the Chamber Of Commerce, which must
depend for upon its popularity It would
be fine thing for the Baynardcooper clique If il could
obtain from the Chamber Of Commerce clean bill of
health and a back-handed slap at City Council and
the public but it would be exceedingly bad thing
for the Chamber.
AS we view #, If the Chamber Of Commerce is to
interest itself actively in public school affairs it
should content itself with occupying the high ground
that city should supply enough money to run the
public schools properly and that after the money has
been aupplied. the Board Of Education should spend
it properly and live within its appropriation.
On the other hand IL the Chamber Of Commerce
permits itself TO be made a factona party to the con-
roversy that has been and still is, In progress be-
tween The Baynard-Cooper clique in the Board of Edu-
cation and the Wilmington public, City Council and
advocates OF administrative reform in Department

The Move Against Villa
Mexican Republic"
lFrom the WashingtOn POstO

Mexican Republic"
Now that the pursuit of Villa into
Mexico has been ordered, it is neces-
sary for the saving of life that the
pursuing force should be adequate
and that the operations should be
conducted with the utmost energy.
The expedition will furnish a valu-
able sidelight on the fitness Of the
American forces to undertake even
small operation. The fact that the
troops at Columbus were all
asleep when Villas raiders appeared
does not speak well for the command
ing officer. Other troops, only 10
miles away, could not be reached
because of deranged communications
and they did not reach Columbus
until four hours after the first alarm.
The excited state of feeling along
the border has given rise to grossly
exaggerated reports. tending to in
fame the public against everything
Mexican. If the border correspond
ents could have had their way. the
United States would have been at
war with Mexico long ago. The mill
tary forces along the border have
caught something of the spirit of the
community, and the need Of a firm
control of affairs from Washington is
evident. The people of this country
do not want war with Mexico, and
will look with extreme disfavor upon
any action which unnecessarily stirs
up feeling between the two nations.
The Mexican people are no more TO
blanc than the Americans for Villa
and his bandits. If the American
Government will quickly carry into
effect the punishment of the maraud-
ers. and if the Carranza Government
will credit to this Government entire
good faith. the disturbing factors will
J be soon removed and the way paved
for the restoration Of order in Mexico.
