FEELING THE SITUATION.

In an address several days ago, Pres
ident Wilson asked the question-are
we ready? This significant query was
met with tumultous response of yes"
Doubtless President Wilson had in
mind the acute situation which now
exist in our negotiations with Mexico
and Germany
The outcome may mean war, but we
are ready. We must be ready. Our
army is insignificant, but that host
which William Jennings Bryan consid-
ers would rise between sunrise and
sunset" may be called upon.
Carranza has called the turn. He is
playing the role of the true Mexican.
All Mexicans are nothing more than
Villas in varied hues of clothing and
surroundings. 1t may mean loss of life
and money to enter Mexico with A
larger force than is now there, but if
tie worse comes-we are ready.
AS for Germany, we have assumed a
position in the controversy which will
not allow backdown. The honor of a
nation cannot be measured in blood
ard dollars. The United States musc
hold her head aloft, and not suffer the
humiliation of cowardice.
We are ready.

Chihuahua City Is In The
Spotlight of Mexican Trouble


"Of the 23,191 mining properties list
ed in Mexico in 1906 five-sixths OF

Santa Eulalie, u miles outside Chi
huahua, is the most famous. 1t has
produced as high as 10000 tons of sill
yer-bearing ore a month. The hand
some parish church in the capital
which was in the course Of construc
ton for three-quarters of a centary,
was built from a tax levied on the out
put of this mine.
When the Aztecs worked the Chihu-
ahua mines their skilled artificers used
reed blowpipes in melting the metals.
They also made bronze, much the
same as that used in Europe, but they
did not know the uses of iron, even
though there was before them that
mountain of almost solid iron only a
few miles outside the city of Durango,
q mountain nearly mile long, a third
OF mile wide at the base and nearly
700 feet high, worth, it is estimated, as
much as all the gold and silver pre-
duced in the mines of Mexico in two
centuries.
1T seems practically certain that
some of General Perishing's soldiers
will spend Easter week in Chihuahua.
where they will have an opportunity
to witness one of the oldest customs in
any civilized Countrywide hanging of
Judas on Saturday before Easter Sun.
day. This ceremony is performed in
many cities, and usually takes place
before a pulque saloon. A rope is
stretched from an upper window, of the
saloon to a building across the street.
Il is lowered and an eff1gy, a curious
affair, usually with a grotesque nose.
like our comic valentines, high ha7
and long tail coat, is tied tc it. Then
the rope is drawn taunt as soon as 8
match has been applied to the coat-tail
fuse. The crowd assemblies as the fig

explosion as the fuse burns to the cen.

follows for the hat, or the shoes, or
perhaps the coat-a prize for some
luck onlooker."

RACE FOR GOVERNOR.

Rumors which have become so per
sistent as to warrant an assertion of the
likelihood of such an event tend to
show that Hugh NJ. Dorsey, of Atlanta,
will make the race for governor of the
great state of Georgia.
News dispatches out of Atlanta
state that Dorsey's campaign for gov
ernor will be launched in Cobb county
the home of Mary Phagan and the
place where Leo NJ. Frank was lynch
ed. Dorsey gave an interview to the
state press several days ago which
did not have the best flavor in the
world to it. 1t apparently made di-
rect lid for the support of a certain
prominent Georgian who is no small
man in Georgia politics.
The Times-Recorder has already
paid its respects to Mr. Dorsey; Mr.
Watson; the people who follow them,
in fact, has commented on conditions
in general.
1t is a sad state Of affairs in this
commonwealth when a politician bids
for the highest office within the gift Of
the people on the sole platform Of
prejudice. Is the death Of little girl
and the work of a mob to be the merits
OF a cause of a candidate for governor
A former Americas lawyer assisted
in the prosecution of Leo NJ. Frank
His brillance is undenied, ard it is not
idle gossip when it is said that the
maneuvers in the case on the part Of
tie state were mainly attributed to
him But he has not asked to be made
governor of Georgia, or attorney-gen-
eral, or secretary of state-just be-
cause he assisted in the prosecution
Of Leo NJ. Frank and secured his con-
yiction.
Georgia has already suffered enough
from the cowardice of some of her pub
lie officials, but God forbid that she will
continue to be prosecuted ut the hands
OF her own people.
Dorsey was appointed as solicitor.
general of the Atlanta circuit by form
er Governor Joseph NJ. Brown. His
career was more or less unknown until
the Frank case arose into prominence.
And can this man seize this capital to
make his race for governor.
The Times-Recorder feels confident
that the people of Georgia will speak
their wishes in this matter at the
polls should Dorsey see fit to make the
race, which it seems he will undoubted-
II do.

1NSTRUC7S CLERK
ABOUT PRIMARY
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROBBINS TELLS HOW TO CON-
DUCT JUNE ELECTION.

City Clerk Frank T. Lynch has re-
ceived letter from G. A. Robbins,
assistant attorney general in regard
to the conducting of the regular pri-
mary election on June 8. Following
are the instructions:
Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the
twenty-second instant addressed to the
attorney general will say relative to
the conducting of the regular primary
election June 5, together with the
special election covering the proposed
constitutional amendment to be held at
heretofore held
That the election as to such proposed
amendment Is a special election re-
quiring the issuance by the governor
of a proclamation under section 1861
of the code. saE r.
That the sheriff Of each county
should publish such proclamation in
some newspaper printed in his county
at least ten days prior to June 5.
That the primary election judges and
clerks should sit in connection with
this special election and that no
separate set Of officers. will be re-
quired. rss
That separate ballot boxes for the
suffrage amendment ballots are permit
ted. but not required.
That separate poll books are requir.
ed. However, this is practical ques-
ton rather than a legal one, and, If
proper provision is made, either in the
same or in different poll book for
keeping a separate record of the per-
II q
amendment, either on separate page
or, column, in my judgment, the same
would not be held Illegal.
That the election officers will not
draw double pay because Of the two
elections but will be paid by the hour
for time consumed, as provided by law.
That while the time for opening and
closing the polls for general and spe-
cial elections differs slightly from the
hours during which the polls are to be
open for the primary election, yet, as
the legislature has especially provided
that the constitutional amendment is
to be submitted at the primary election
the hours governing the opening and
closing of the polls for the primary
election will govern for both elections
to be held on June S.
And it has also been held that the
following provisions with reference to
registration should be complied with
in cities having a population Of thirty
five hundred or over.
3 The registrars should meet on the
second Thursday, Friday and Saturday
prior to June 5, at the usual voting
place in the precinct and held contin-
uous sessions from o'clock in the
forenoon until 9 o'clock in the after.
