toraton brought about by strong hand. That was a wild, mistaken impulse
 Now and then when moved by extraordinary outrage the president has seemed be seized by an impulse that promised accomplishment but it has always weakened the lapse of a few days giving way impulse and nothing has been accomplished This rapid succession of presi- dential impulses has prevented from grasping at any time the full measure of the problem The eral view by the administration of the work before it is thus described by the Chicago Tribune:
 It is to hoped the administratons Mexican does not turn upon the fate of Pancho Villa This would be treating the symptom, not the disease
 Villa is like a piece of scum on the seethng caul- dron of Mexico. Remove him and the cauldron bub- bles fiercely
 The only intelligent policy toward Mexico is the justification of that country and the establishment of a government strong enough protect the rights of foreigners and bring about stable conditions of political economic social progress The death of Villa is a minor detail in such program If he is removed the conditions which give the United States will remain. We forced out Huerta and Huerta is dead. But the element of the Mexican eX- posive which Huerta represented remains. Carranza is hanging with his finger nails. He dsap- pear from the situation at any moment Obregon may follow him or Daz or Iturbide. The composition the Mexican explosive will remain about the same. in most unstable equilibrium or it will go again in another destructive disaster.
 There is only reliable stabizer and that is the United States. All those who look at the ethnic. social and economic facts of Mexico squarely and through the dstorting glass of some doctrine recog nize this be the truth Why cannot it be recog- nized in Washington?
 1t is late to be practical candid, and resoute in dealing with Mexico Perhaps too late much danger and difficulty in carrying out really constructive program. But better late than never after years further destruction and the perpetual danger of complications with powers not all taking advantage of Mexican law breaking and violence
 It is condition, chronic condition of chaos. not a Villa. that confronts
 This means that intervention would have been shorter that be taken sometime. Inter venton has been unpleasant thing for to think about but many of have believed from the time when Huerta overthrown. when the last strong down. that intervention inevitable unless We desired merely maintain forever a strong guard along border and leave the Mexicans to their devices their troubles to he ultimately adjusted by some strong European power.
 The time is rapidly approaching when weary conferences with bandits and power less de facto governments. and either withdraw from Mexico else roll up our sleeves with full under- standing of the job before as. resolved tackle and complete it in a workmanlike manner.

Its whole ver-changing in dealing with Mexico has never had anything behind it except the personal impulses of the president as often as not, mistaken impulses. But if they had been accurate. still they would have constituted a policy. Impulses the present: policies look fo the future and Co results Impulses sistent that course toward Mexico has always lacked consistency.
 The first impulse of the president and MT. Bryan vas not to resder the Mexicans any real assistance in restoring order in that country but to advise them that the best restore order was to per- form the task themselves through genuine consitu- tionai government and to stand in the way of res-

THE BEST LEG FOR THRIFT TO STAND ON IS A SAVINGS BANK

Here, now, is leg for Thrift to stand on a pair of legs made sturdy by one hun dred years of service. q soldering for the common good
 We are celebrating the centenary of the first Savings Banks in the United States this year A thrifty Scotchman started the first Savings Bank in Ruthwell Scotland, in 1Sl0 which was followed hy similar organizations in England. The United States. even by the slow methods of communication then in existence, watched the development of the project and when it became apparent that the Scotch and English institutions were on the road to success. similar enterprises were undertaken in this country-in the year 1916.
 The Savings Bank-you must understand to be a success in a business way. should be founded on business principles but there was something higher than mere business in the theory of such an institution. It was originally established and has since been maintained, for the people. and inculcating in them the spirit of Thrift. which will raise them above poverty in their own generation, and help them to eliminate poverty in the genera tons of their family to follow them. Thus the Savings Banks encourage Thrift. and Thrift has made the Savings Banks possible.
