Supporters of George A. Lee,
the machine candidate for COVER
nor. are evidently in a desperate
mood.
Thursday they launched a
campaign of character assassina-
ton againts former Gov. Nc
Bride, who is one of Lees oppon-
ents, by falsely charging him as
a candidate of the VETS"
Mcbride has issued a public
statement, in which he reiterates
his previous declaration, as fol-
lows:
1.-The prohibition bill has be-
come the law of the state. 1t is
the duty of every good citizen to
uphold 1t. Those who were op.
posed to its enactment should be
as strongly in favor of it's en-.
forcement as those who advocated
its passage. l am in favor of its
strict enforcement, and whatever
influence or power / may have
in the matter will be exerted to
that end.
Il am opposed to any changes
being made in the measure by the
legislature, unless it be such
changes as may tend to strength
en- the means of enforcing it
Should other changes be deemed
desirable, such changes should be
made by the people themselves
by direct vote, and not by act OF
the legislature"

First Pennsylvania Volunteers,
Mexican War of 1877.
In u tub of "a canal boat, drawn
by lazy mules-that's the way we
crushed to war" against Mexico
i'm 1916!
II is said the militia has been
slow i'm getting to the border
these days, but il took us weeks
and weeks!
Congress declared a state of
war existed between us and Mex
leo in May, 1916, but we weren t
even modified until the follow
ing December.
Day by day Uncle Sans volun-
teer army was towed in a tub
half way across the state of
Pennsylvania. 1t was a lark for
us, and people along the canal
fed us on delicacies and cheers.
At Pittsburg, we were trans
ferred to river steamboats,, and
the journey down to New Orleans
was a regular spree for some of
the men.
They terrorized the towns
along the route, and when we
reached New Orleans we were
ordered to stay aboard ship. Few
of the men obeyed. There were
daily clashes between the men in
uniform and the New Orleans
citizens.

FORT BLISS, Ell PASO, July
IA day in sweltering wooden
and cactus-strewn desert land.
A night without canvas above
them with only blankets between
their soft bodies and the hard,
rocky ground,
Twelve hours without food ;.n-
der the merciless sun!
Men falling in dead fain.s,
men lying sick in cots with no
screens to protect them from the
flies!
This is only the most meager
record of the appalling unpre-
paredness of our newly federal
lied militia, as exemplified on the
day of their arrival by three COM
panies of the Massachusetts ma
tional guard. and portion of
New Jerseys contingent, the
first militiamen to encamp here
on the Texas border!
In the opinion of recog-
niZcd authorities on military
matters not even the delays
of days and weeks that have
characterized the mobiliza-
ton of the national guard
are so significant as the gIar-
ing lack of training and the
no less obvious lack of
equipment when these regi-
ments are within gun shot of
Mexico.
Take, for instance, the Massa-
chusetts national guard contin-
gent.
More than so of the 73 men of
ambulance corps No. when de-
trained here to go into camp,
tainted more from lack of food
than from the heat.
On the train for more than
four days their meals had con-
sisted largely of tomatoes, crack
ers and coffee. Field hospital
No. /, consisting of 81 men and
8 officers, were using their cots
for the sick among themselves.
Men of the Fifth, Eighth and
Ninth Massachusetts infantry ar
rived at Camp Cotton, which is
on the outskirts OF Ell Paso, only
short distance from the Next
can border, without automatics.
Father Donates Guns.
The machine gun company OF
the Eighth had several Of their
automatic rifles out of commits
sion. But fortunately for the
men, the father of one of them,
Henry Parkman, gave the COM
pany $1,000 to buy four Lewis
machine guns.
No one questions Parkman's
generous and patriotic motives,
but it is thought he wanted to
give his son and the sons of 9TH
err Massachusetts men the best
fighting chances for their lives
with a machine gun that has dem
onstrated its superiority over the
kind now being used by the mi
litia and the regular army.

IF had my way said a ser
geant who saw active service In

Benny MERGERS (the name the
company gives to the automatic
rifles OF the Benet MERCER
modeD over the border into Mex
leo, and count on the Mexicans
doing more damage to them
selves than to us with them.
As yet none OF these batteries
except Battery h, which brought
1870 horses along with II, has any
horses for their guns and other
wheeled equipment!
AS a sergeant who has been I'm
the regular army for Is years
said, They will have to go
through hell for the first month
with six raw horses attached to
each gun. It's had enough to
train two raw horses with four
horses that know the business.
Heaven help the men that get
spilled off horses and gun ear
riages on these rocks and caeti."
All the militia who are de-
trained here and all who have
passed through for points far
Their west on the border are wear
ing wooden breeches and shirts,
some even winter underwear, and
every day the thermometer rises
close to the 100 mark.
For no one had supplied them
with plain khaki.
Leather Chairs Blamed.
With the proof of the ineffi-
cheney of the national guard, as
il is at present constituted under
the so-called federaliZed system
so obviously and pathetically ex-
posed to public view, ii is the
opinion of unbiased observers
that the national guard must be
recognized under the control Of
the war department before IL ever
can become an effective reserve
force.
The blame for the lack of sys-
TEN and the unpreparedness that
characterize the national guard
coutingents that have reached the
border is frankly put on the
shoulders of local and state poll
ticlans and leather-chair officers
by guardsmen whose eyes and lips
have been opened by the revela-
ton OF armory and border mobile
cation.
No one questions the patriot
ism or the bravery of these mill
tia boys, but the thousands of ma
tional guardsmen from all parts
of the country not one regiment,
not even single infantry COM
pany, or cavalry troop, or artil-
lery battery, is properly prepared
to cross the Mexican border.
The national guard as a separ-
ate unit in our military system is
doomed, or else tens of thousands
of brave boys are doomed In case
of war with Mexico, or with any
other nation.

TO MAKE SKIN CLEAR

Don't worry about skin trou-

clean complexion by using lit
tie zemo obtained at any drug
store for 25c, or extra large bot
tie at $1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces
of pimples, black heads, eczema,
and ringworm, and makes the
skin clear and healthy. Zemo is
neither watery, sticky nor greasy
and stains nothing. 1t is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle
for each application. 1t is al
ways dependable.
