Encourage the Skaters.

However mplacable the controversy

aised to Terpsichores foster child, skat-

idle women or disillusioned children, the

a reprieve i'm the death house. II is pre-
venting more grip than all the mutiled

bringing roses to faded cheeks and maxi
ing appctites TO grow which shame the
cocktail. Skating is the very best Of out
door sports in a season when outdoor
sports are possibly more essential 10
health than at any other time.
Skating is laden not only with the
health but with the democracy Of out-of-
doors. or should be. Though private and
commercial Kinks may multiply never 50
rapidly to meet an overwhelming demand,
the skaters real JOY will always consist
m the occasional journey to one of natures
own Kinks TO which the weather alone is
sues invitations and to which the only card
of admission is human desire to share
in the common heritage Of keen air and
invigorating fun. The majority of skaters
will find it iuconven.ent o. impossible TO

Women Hospital Physicians.

In naming three women physicians TO

Commissioner Kmgsbury has adopted a
course for which the feminine portion OF
tbe medical contingent has long pleaded.
This is said to be the first appointment OF

has had predecessors Of her own sex there.
In anv case. il seems logical and sensi-

women. must always be justified 10y the IN

good reason why women should be barred
from this official pursuit Of their profes-
sional activities when they are widely rec

VOTERS DUTY PLAIN
Underwood Tariff Law Must Be
Discarded.
Measure Has Fulfilled None of the
Promises Made by Its Democratic
Sponsors-Unfair Competition
With Foreign Goods.

Actual experience since the passage
of the Underwood Simmons act shows
that none of the contentious of the
Democratic prophets has held good. In
the months Immediately following the
enactment of the law and preceding
the war there was o tremendous in
crease in the importation of duty-free
articles. According to arguments made
by those who favored the measure
there should have been marked de-
crease in the cost of necessarles OF
life. Was there? There have been
no surface indications of any material
cut in living expenses up to this time,
nor is there any hope along that line
Under the present arrangement the
ultimate consumer pays not only the
burdensome direct tax, but just as
high prices for his necessities
while his purchasing power has been
materially lowered by the new law
permitting foreign goods to come into
this country in competition with those
manufactured in plants where Ameri-
can wages were being paid
Is 1t impossible for Democratic
statesmen to realize that we cannot
build up and maintain our own indus
tries while sending our money abroad
to purchase the output of manufacture
ing plants in other countries?
Enough voters have been convinced
by the demonstration of 1913. however,
TO overthrow the entire regime at the
next election.

UNWRlTTEN AGREEMENT MADE
Mexican War Minister Promises to
Put 100000 Troops in Field to Pc.
lice Territory About Parral
and In Other Districts.

Washington, May 1S.-An optimistic
view of the Mexican border situation
was laid before President Wilson and
his cabinet on Tuesday by Secretary
Baker. after a long conference with
Major General Scott, chief of staff.
General Carranza and his advisers
now understand the motives of the
Washington government more fully
than ever before. as a result of the
conference at Ell Paso between Gen
erals Scott and Funston and Obre-
gon, Mr.. Baker was able to tell the
cabinet, and tension along the inter
national line has greatly relaxed.
General Scott believes that the
whole situation is less acute than it
has been at any time since the raid
on Columbus, N. NJ.
The change in General Obregon's
views was clearly indicated by prom
Uses he made at the conclusion of the
conferences, promises approved by
General Carranza, and which he is
now carrying out with pTomptitude
and vigor, according to official reports
from army officers and consular Off
cials in Mexico
1t is these pledges which are inter-
preted as forming an unwritten agree
ment. They include the following;
That 10000 picked troops under
General Trevinc. the ablest of the Car
rama field commanders, occupy and
police the territory about Parral, the
southern limit of General Pershing's
drive, and in other districts where
there are no American troops;
That an effective patrol be thrown
about the Mexican side of the Big
Bend region of the Texas border to
head off the Glen Springs and Boquil-
las raiders;
THAT every effort be made to lib
crate Deemer, the American store
keeper captured and carried away by
the bandits: and
That no troops will be moved from
the forces in Sonora state through
Pulpit pass to operate in rear of
General Pershing's force"
This will be done TO avoid the pos
sibility of clashes. and for the same
reason no attempt of cooperative
troop movements will be made unless
it be by arrangement of the local com
manders. American and Mexican.
General Scott said that recent re-
ports of Carranza troop movements in
the region south of General Pershing
in his opinion showed that General OBJ
regions orders were being carried out
promptly.

ing the city for few days. or those
seeking to gain foothold in its indus
trial or business life.
