Johnson Creek has withdrawn from
the Central League. The strain of nine
straight losses proved to much for the
Buttermakers and they notified Pres.
George Rankin, Tuesday, that they
were ''out." From all appearances
Madison will be given first choice for
the vacancy and providing the Capital
City is taken into the league it means
that Central fans will be assured better
baseball. The Madison team DESTROYS
of getting into the league is known as
the Conklins and is managed by Sam
Barry.

THE M ExICAN
EXPEDITION

After three years, during which
there has been daily certainty that
what has happened would happen,
our government has been forced to
send troops into Mexico. What the
consequences will be no one can
predict. We call the movement a pu-
nitiye expedition Let us hope 1t will
be punitive in the sense and direc.
ton intended, punitive OF the wicked
ness OF villa and not OF our own
shiftlessness and procrastination face
20 face with the inevitable. But
whatever name we call 1t, this move.
ment of troops is war. 1t should be
the hope Of all OF us that In the i'm.
mediate dangers not to speak of
those likely to follow, our men will
be able to protect themselves and
that the peace policy of disarming
our soldiers and arming our prob
able enemies may not have a conclu-
sion too humiliating to think about.
II is comforting anyhow to see Mr..
Bryan waving farewell to the troops.
lie ought to know what they are in
for. His God bless you, boys, will be
a great help to them, no doubt,
against the bullets supplied by our
country to the excellent villa.
We cannot think of this little ex.
petition without anxiety and we can
not help regretting that the admin
istration, by its postponement OF ac'
tion has enormously increased the
difficulties to be encountered Our
government has practically armed
and equipped a hostile army on our
borders. No doubt the intelligence
and valor Of our troops will prevail
easily, and the murderous bandit will
be captured and his followers dis
rersed. But does anybody believe
our troubles will be over when villa
has been rounded up?
And have we any assurance that
our forces are in a condition to deal
with the larger troubles that may
follow? It was stated in the senate
recently by Mr.. Smoot that two years

POLITICAL
iNDIFFERENTISM

An interview was published few
days ago, given by well known
politician, in which he said that the
people in his section are taking but
slight interest in the primaries for
choice of national convention dele
gates. Yet in one party at least
there are two sets OF delegates rep
resenting entirely opposite schools Of
thought The stake to be decided Is
the presidency of the United States.
theoretically the politicians run
their steam rollers in an arrogant and
autocratic fashion over long suffer
ing people. The latter are supposed
to submit to graft and inefliciency
because the iron grip OF the bosses
Is too firm. As a matter of fact, the
bosses rule because the people are
too Indifferent to come out and vote.
They are too tired to walk a half
mile to the polling booth on caucus
night. They have often not read
about the pending contests, though
few Of them failed to post up on the
Willard.Moran fight.
A skilled observer, unsTayed by
party feeling. can usually tell who
will be elected as soon as the NOM
nations are made. His prediction
would prove correct four times out of
five. Hence 1t is four times as i'm
portant to attend the primary meet
ing as to vote at the election.
II seems to be easy for men Of the
politician type to build up centers OF
power through cajolery, appeal to
personal and class prejudice, distribu-
ton OF petty spoil and other favors.
The voters In eloquent and often pro-
fame language denounce the rule OF
grafters, bosses and machines. Then
they turn around and stay away from
the primaries where the bosses and
grafters and machines fix up their
states and cement their power.
Our fathers went into battle to sc.
cure the blessings OF liberty. chief
among which Is the inestimable gift
OF the franchise. They might think
il didn't pay. could they see how lit.
tie their descendants value these civ.
ic blessings.

senate today voted 80 to 30, for the
Cumming plan to amend the army re-.
organization bill by creating ma

the chairman and other members CT
the committee were fighting hard
against second amendment champi-

eliminate the provision for federal

Senator Chamberlain charged dur

the national guard and the regular
army threatened to undo the months
of serious work done by the com
mittee and he threatened that unless
the army officers ceased attempting
to influence legislation through per
sonal appeal to senators he would
seek to have them disciplined by the
war department. He said officers who
appeared before the committee were
unwilling to see their plans worket
