THINK PERSHING
WILL SPLIT ARMY
Military Men Believe tie
Will Thus Make System
attic Search for Villa.

San Antonio. Tex. March l7.--Cslcu-
lation at army headquarters here TO-
day indicated tina; General Pershing
will be in position 10 re-divide mis-
forces and, from near the heart Of the
region where villa has been operating,
begin systematic search for the Mex
lean bandit.
Official reports to General Funston
gave assurances that there had been
no clash between Americans and MeHi-
cans.
It was estimated that Colonel Dodd,
who crossed the international boundary
line at l o'clock Thursday morning,
forty five miles from Hachita, y. NJ.
tonight was close by, if not actually
in touch with, the heavier and slower
column led m Wednesday by General
Pershing. 1t was intended that the
more mobile force of Colonel Dodd
should effect junction with the first
column. after which Colone! Dodd's
cavalry would be sent on reconnois-
sance, utilizing also the services OF
American cowboys who have joined the
column, together with other scouts.
Night marches are being made by
General Pershing's forces in their
search for Villa, it was indicated to-day
at Fort Sam Houston.
Such marches. it was pointed out
would help to puzzle Villa as to the
movements OF the American columns.
and would keer the men and horses
fresher. Days could be used for recon
NOTHING.
There will be no music for the SOL
diers of either General Pershing or
Colonel Dodd's commands, while on the
march or in camp. Not single regi-
mental band has been taken with the
expedition. This is because 1t was de-
sired not 70 handicap the EXPEDITION
with any useless appendage.
Funston Maintains Secrecy.
The actual news coming from the
forces somewhere in Northern mex
leo" was unexciting and not illum ma
tive as TO Villas exact whereabouts
but not even this news was made pub
lie by General Funston. He IS CONSIST
entity adhcring TO his policy OF not
permitting the details Of the expedition
10 become common knowledge.
General Pershing continued 20 hoid
his line Of communication to-day, re-
porting at intervals "a TO his position
and the state Of his troops His wire
less set was used and cOurlers 70 the
border brought more detailed nforma-
ton. The direct wire from the border
carried the messages TO General Fun
+ ston's headquarters. II was said To-
dav that General Pershing probably
would supplement his field lines OF
communication with a telephone line,
which would be extended as he pro-
ceeded.
Failure OF any body Of Mexicans TO
oppose the Americans and reports that
D General Gales was using his men 10
fortify the passes which lead from The
State of chihuahua into the State OF
Sonora served to dispel somewhat the
feeling common in many quarters that
not all the Carranza garrisons would
cooperate in the chase Of Villa. 1t
was pointed out, however. that the
country through which the troops are
moving Is 80 desolate and almost UNI
inhabited that attack either by villa
or by insubordinate government troops
would occasion no surprise.

might call democratic party meas
ures and about three (unimpor-
tant) that you might call repub-
lican party measures. One set
will get through the senate and
not the house; the other set will
get through the house (maybe)
and not the senate; and the coun-
try will neither know nor care and
everything will go on just the
same.

preparation, defense, finance,

! have been keeping tab on con-
gress a great many years now and
1t seems so long since / have seen
a strictly party vote in either
house that it makes me feel old to
recall it-along with other dim
scenes of my childhood.
The fact is, and 1t is one of the
greatest facts in all our history
and all our affairs, THIS COUN-
TRY is NOT GOVERNED BY
PARTIES.
1T is GOVERNED BY
IDEAS.
We have no party government
here and have had none since the
fiftieth congress, anyway.
In those old days when | used
to see Tom Reed make quorum
by waggling the handle of his
gavel and jam every bill through
in the teeth Of the bitter opposi-
ton of the democrats he walked
over, things were different. You
might well have said then that we
had party government.
But that's all dead and gone
now.
Here is one more point wherein
we differ completely, radically and
permanently from conditions in
Great Britain.
,, Party feeling in Great Britain
runs to depth of bitterness ut
terly unknown in this country at
any time in this generation, and
strange and disastrous things
come out of it.
On every vital bill that
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-12-09
DEMOCRATS Will
RULE NEXT HOUSE.
TOO, SAYS WRITER

comes up In either house,
progressive republicans vote
with progressive democrats
and reactionary republicans
vote with reactionary demo-
Gratis.
No incident in congress these
days is commoner than that.
There is today no antagonism'
between republicans and demo-
Gratis in either house. Whatever
feeling exists is between PRO-
GRESSIVE MEN AND BACK
WARD-LOOKING MEN, without
any regard to parties.
The old curse of PARTISAN
ism is PASSING FROM THIS
COUNTRY. Today II Is al
most gone. Very few men
that own to a thinking APP
paratus in which they have
any faith are now afflicted
with the partisan bug.
Judgment and reason are
taking the place of party pas
sion.
Look at the last election. There
never was one in this country
in which the independent voter
wrought such havoc with the
whole party system.
He just took his little vote in
hand and went out and turned
things over to suit himself.
Party loyalty sat very lightly on
his shoulders as he thrust his good
old crowbar into the works. Demo-
cratic on president, republican on
governor. republican or president,
democratic on senator; republican
on congress, any old thing on local
offiees-that is the way the re-
turns look in states that a few
years ago were counted in
BLOCKS.
The nation has become intelli-
gent and sophisticated. 1t knows
now that the sheep and goats idea
doesn't work in public affairs.
That all the good men in the
country belong to one party and
all the bad men to the other is a
little too much for American COM
mon sense. They may still believe
that rubbish in England, but 1t is
out of date here.
Also, you can't believe now that
any party governs.
Ideas govern. Parties and
party divisions are becoming more
or less nominal distinctions for the
convenience of those that make
politics business.
Come, view in the complete
returns, old Party Frenzy ly-
ing i'm the discard. Never was
place he was SO well fitted
to adOrn!
