CONTROL NOT MANIFESTED.

All may or may not be well with the de factO government in Mexico of which CarranZa is at the head. He may possess the contro1 which he has claimed but there is little to support it in the conduct of the people of that country during the existing crisis.
 It was following the clash at Carri- gal and while the American troopers were prisoners at Chihuahua that a mob was easily raised by the mayor of the city for the destruction of the United States consular office at Tor reOn and on the day when the men of the Tenth cavalry were turned over to the United States officers at the in ternational bridge between Fl Paso and JUarez a raiding and footing party in which soldiers of Carranza were numbered, attacked the Ameri- can consulate at Nogales just across the border from the United States city of the same name. It was also during the exchange of notes between the two governments that sailors from a United States ship were in- vited ashore and held as prisoners, all of which showed the sentiment which was prevailing in more than one sec ton of the country.
 
 these outbreaks were directed or even sanctioned by the government, but if Carranza had the power to control his people and especially his soldiers those were instances when it could have been manifested to good advan- tage, but there is no record to show that any restraining influence was ex- erted or that any attempt was made to punish those who had led or par ticipated in the outbreaks. These were all manifestations of i'll will which reflected seriously upon the Carranzaj government for regardless of any responsibility the head of the gov ernment may be charged with in con- nection herewith there is no evidence to show that it used the boasted con- troI to keep them down, which is one of the contentious of this government in connection with all the operations of the bandits.

spruce had been cut as with a knife twenty feet from the base, the top branches shooting down and sticking upright in the earth like a new tree. moss and ferns. and the birds kept up a constant tWitter amid the rum ble of artillery fire and the ''cra Ck' ''crack'' of the seVeHty-fVes. But gradually the singing Of the birds ceased as the exposed front was approached. Here the foliage disappeared from the trees, which were scared and burned as though @ forest fire had just swept by. Telegraph wires were strung through the trees linking all parts of the front and rear with headquarters.
 Entering the forward trenches, Gen enral EellOuin and all the party put on helmets, for the fire was now heavy and inCesSant. Hardly a hundred yards had been covered when a wound ed soldier came l5mping back from the firing line. He was very pale, with great splash Of blood on his coat, but on his feet and walking without sup port. Another soldier was ahead. and one behind, ready to give assistance.
 Tt is nothing, only a ball in the hip" he said, but my companion was killed outright.
 Tt is nothing he kept repeating, as he held up the flag of his coat, show ing a small round hole cut as nicely as with a pair of scissors. But it was not this, or the ball in the hip, which was giving him paint was his com paniOn killed at his side.
 Shortly after this another grewsome incident interrupted the exploration of the trenches. An officer of high rank arrived suddenly to report to the Com
 manding General-a mine had just been exploded, killing Captain C. and wOunding two IeEtenants and for ty men. This he told hastily as the General paused to receive the report. Captain C., he went on, had lived long enough to write a few words to his family. The explosion of the mine had not only scattered deadly frag- ments among the officers and men, but most Of them had been overcome by gas fumes.
 This tragedy, hastily reported to the General as the party trudged through the trench, was only one of the incl dents of this greater tragedy going on night and day all around here. Gen eral HellOuin spoke of the gallant ser vice of Captain C., gave directions for suitable care of the body, and the party passed on to inspect the trench es.

ON THE WIRE

In my next incarnation I hope shall be endowed with sort of sixth sense" sighed Loretta, that will en- able me to tell whose voice am list ening to over the telephone"
 That's the coming great invention" " I1er brother told her, T am not sure but what I shall invent it myself. It sounds easy just a little thing like telescope that will show the face of the person you're talking to-
 '~There'd be some way of lodging even if it was patented" Loretta said dismally. There would be people who would talk with their heads under the table or entirely covered with a black cloth, or something"
 What has started these gloomy thoughts ?" her brother demanded. If you confde in me perhaps you will feel better
 ''Wen, first of aIl,'' explained Loretta, 'the other day I called you up at the office about that special delivery letter that came for you and a strange voice answered me. It was that of Q, man and he said that you were out and that he would enjoy a little conversation with me. It turned out that the wires were crossed and you weren't out at all, but I should like to know who that
 man was, particularly as he knows who 1 am, because l asked for you. Every once in a while somebody thinks it is a joke to call up and not tell who it is, and there is nothing that makes me crosser"
 Ring off when they do that" sug- gested Loretta's brother. Serves them right"
 T tried that" Loretta said, ruefully Somebody wouldn't tell me who she was and I nearly wore myself out try ing to guess, and then I hung up. It developed that the person was a friend of Millys whom I had been looking forward to seeing and she was so pro- voked that she wouldn't be polite dur ing the rest of her stay. That taught me a lesson and 1 was awfulIy sweet to everybody for long time"
 'On the telephone, you mean"
 Tt would be a sort of consolation to see what the people look like who in sist they haven't got the wrong num- Der when you tell them that they have" Loretta went on, unheeding 'Walen Cousin Dora was here she used to get very much excited at what she called their impertiuence.
 However I don't mind them as much as I do the people who want tC speak @ certain individuals. Some body made a great tO-do about my answering the phone when the mes sage was for Cousin Dora Cousin Dora was away at the other end of the house, but she got here all out o1 breath, only to be asked whether we were going to be at home next day, 2 question I could have answered as well aS she.
 Her friends had such a funny way of ignoring me that I got to feeling very much like Q machine. They would tell me to call Dora, exactly as if tha- were all I were good for, and none o- them ever said good morning or how was I. It hadn't struck me before but I suddenly realized that telephone manners arc very peculiar. I was quite satisfied with my own at one time"
 Now you are reformed, I suppose?' her brother laughed. That was why

STOPPING THE JOY RIDERS.

Recognizing that what is needed is proper legislature and a strict en- forcement thereof in order to discour- age the reckless auto driver, who not only endaL gers the lives of every one in his car but all other auto occupants and pedestrians who happen to be on the same highway, and especially to call an abrupt halt on those who are disposed to operate a machine while under the influence of liquor, Massachusetts has put a new law into operation which deals with this class of drivers in manner which has long been called for.
 It is of course true that the great majority of those who hold the wheel of a motocrar are not inclined either to recIzlessness or to driving while in
 toxicated, but there are those who are numbered in both classes and a few can do enough harm in a short time to warrant the enactment of legisla- tion which will put a stop to it.
 Massachusetts has been moved by such affairs which stand out prout- nently in it's long list of automobile fatalities to leave no stones unturned in an endeavor to improve this situa- tion and 1t has provided as a penalty for driving a car while intoxicated fine of from $20 to $2o0, or inprison- ment from two weeks to two years for the first offense, and for a second of- fense a jail sentence of not less than 30 days nor more than two years. It can be appreciated that if this law is enforced, and it should be enforced else it might just as well not have been placed upon the statute books, and few stiff fines or jail sentences imposed, that it will bring about the reform which is aimed at and which is so much desired. It is a move in behalf of greater safety which is to be commended and public opinion should stand back of every instance where conduct invites enforcement. Every person licensed to drive a car should be informed of the provisions and held to strict accountability.

THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION

Although it was supposed that the Carnegie Foundation for the advance ment of teaching was upon a solid basis, until claims to the contrary were made some time ago, the an nouncement which has now come from the head Of that fund makes it certain that changes must be made in order to place it on firm ground where it was supposed it had been placed when it was established.
 The actual test over a period of ten years has, however, served to show Up the defects and the fact that should it be continued for another ten years the fund would have to be in- creased makes it conclusive that while the intentions at the outset were of the best there were contin- gencies which had not been provided for and henceforth it will be neces- sary to meet them and this it is pro- posed to do by furnishing actual in surance at cost
 Heretofore professors in 73 institu- tiOns throughout this country and Canada have been eligible to a pen sion to the extent of 60 per cent of their salaries upon reaching the age of 65. This restricted these teachers 10 certain lISLILullOIS II they were going to get the benefit of this fund and it denied many who might have been worthy, but under the new plan it will have a wider scope and far more will be entitled to receive its benefits.
 A change of this kind might be looked upon unfavorably but for the fact that provision has been made for the continuance of the pensions at present in force and hold them open for those within a certain limit of ex- pectancy which serves to protect those who are directly involved, but having discovered that the old method is un- sound financially this is unQuestion- ably the time when the change should be made and with the experience of the past there are reasons to believe that under the new idea no further upset can be anticipated. It would be folly to continue an unbusinesslike proposition.

you were so sweet to somebody just now. thought you were getting all invitation to something"
 So did I,'' Loretta chUckled. You see, one day when Dora was here l answered the phone and was quite sure the person had the wrong num- Der. She did not speak distinctly and did not understand all she said. l kept telling her it was wrong and l really got cross because of her stupid ity. She was persistent, however, and eventually I made out that it was the old aunt of Doras mother the one who's so wealthy and so cranky. Of course, l apologized, but it took Dora a week to smooth her out, and even then Dora's mothers aunt wasn't very happy about 1t. If I had the patent telescope attachment that you sug- gested I'd have known at once who she was and wouldn't have kept her waiting, the poor old souIi I haven t got over the effects of it yet and l think I shall be polite for at least a week longer.
 '"The effect had not worn off when I was called up just now" Loretta went on. Somebody with very sweet voice wanted to speak to Mrs. Deyore. told her that Dora had gone to fali- fornia and she then asked in a trCG- bled tone whether I knew when sA e would return. Sale did not take the LlIue 70 tell me Wno she was so l naQ to remind myself of my new resolu- tion."
 Ut never is the original cost that hurts" her brother said, sageIy, Its always the upkeep."
 So it seems" laughed Loretta. "At any rate, I told her that Cousin Dora was not going to come back for . long time, but intended to remain ip the west as long as her husband was in Mexico. As soon as the government ordered his regiment out she planned to rejoin him, of course. It took me 9 long time to tell it all, but remenn . bered the old aunt and was glad to help Dora"
 Was she sympathetic?
 Very said Loretta, dryly. At least she was interested enough to let me tell the whole tale without inter ruption. When I finally ended she condescended to answer my question as to who she was'

OTHER VIEW POINTS

If the courts should decide that $10,- 900 would be a fair price for a life, with all it's promise for the future, think of the bill that could be pre- sented to the authorities of some towns and cities where the admins tration now spends money for politics instead of public health.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-05

Suppose the courts accepted as con- elusive evidence of public liability such things as these: Polluted water supply. Existence of manure piles and other breeding places of the 'ty- phOid fly" Careless sewage disposal Suppose a town having any or these conditions and having, say, ten ty- phoid deaths a year, had to pay $100,- GOO year for the slaughter of hu- mans. How long do you thing it would take for the public officials to get busy ?-New Haven Times-Leader.

It is considered right and proper that the nation or state should pay the owners for cattle slaughtered to prevent the spread of disease-partic- ularly hoof and mouth disease. Sup pose, as a variation of this plan, cities and villages should pay for human lives unnecessarily sacrificed through failure to protect the public health. As a general rule typhoid fever is conclusive evidence of criminal neg lect for which someone should pay a heavy penalty.
