THE SITUATION

If man were to witness a ruffian
ing a woman, numbering children, and
permitted it to go on unmolested, what
sort of a citizen would he be con-
sidered? This is exactly the situation
in Mexico. Ruffians to the south of
us have been robbing, numbering and
assaulting our neighbors and have
even invaded our own yard and MUIR
dered some of our own family and yet
we are told, in the interest of human
ity, that we must not interfere. The
robbery and murders and assaults con-
sdestinies of the United States govern
ment for the past three and one-half
years has deliberately and persistent
ly refused to put stop to those
crimes and has thereby accumulated
the danger to our own country. This
is the real issue in the present cam
paign for the election of president
The republican candidate, Mr.. Hughes,
has promised that, if elected, he will
at once put stop to the disorders in
Mexico, that he will lend the aid of
the United States government to the
re-establishment of a stable govern
ment in that country and make it once
more a safe place for human habita-

been considered out of the question
for American cities, because of the de-
mands of politics. But in the last four
years the impossible has happened. In
that time forty cities have adopted
the commission manager plan of gov
eminent. That is, the city elects a
small commission, or board of direc-
tors, and this board employs an ex-
pert to manage the city's business.
Naturally, they desire the best man
they can find. Dayton, for instance,
tried to employ Col Cocktails at sal
airy of $4,000 year. When he declin-
ed, the commissioners went to Cincin-
natl and took the city engineer, H. M.
Waite, who had proved to have unus-
ual executive ability. Springfield, O.,
found that the city manager of Staun-
ton, Va, was exceedingly successful.
So it did what any well-conducted
business institution would do under
the circumstances-it offered him a
higher salary and got him. Jackson,
Mich, tried to get him away from
Springfield but failed, and then en-
ployed Mr.. Yates city engineer at

ADVOCATES CONSTRUCTION OF
 GREAT LABORATORY
Would Have Government Carry on Experiments With Weapons of
 Modern Warfare

Washington, March 15.-Construction or great government laboratory for de- velopment of submarines. aeroplanes and other war equipment was advocated be- fore the House naval committee today by Thomas A. Edison and other mem bers of the civilian naval advisory board Mir. Edison said a properly equipped es- te blishment costing s1,5O0,O00 would make possible experiments for standardization of submarine parts, for instance, which might result in enabling builders to turn out submarine in a week instead of the many months now required.
 The other members of the board who appeared were Howard E. Coffin. W. L.. Saunders, A. M. Hunt and pr. l.. H. Bael-eland. Dr. Baekeland. who was ap- pointed to the board on recommendation of the American Chemical society. said one of the most important advantages of aboratory would be that of sup plying adequate means for fixation of atmospheric nitrogen for use in making explosives. The processes used by Ger man chemists, he said, were well known in this country, yet proper steps had not been taken to relieve the United States from it's dependence on Chile for it's nitrate supply.
 Mr. Coffin outlined to the committee canvass the board is making of the country's industrial resources and how they might be mobilized for defense He said report probably would be ready by May. MT. Saunders urged that the advisory board be legalized, and MT. Hunt, civil engineer, read statement emphasizing the advantages of labor atory from an engineering standpoint.
 The scientists declared that an ex- perimental plant financed by the govern ment and backed by the best scientific skill of the country would be valuable not alone as a preparedness measure, but would make possible many steps for ward in industrial development. One sug- gested that great things might be ac- complshed in perfecting the aeroplane and another said a proper application of science to shipping might revolutionize the merchant marine.
 It was urged that the proposed labor atory be under administration of the navy department though 1t might concern it. self with many things aside from naval equipment
