Within the past six weeks, six acci-
dents have happened at street inter.
sections between street ears and We
hicles. One Of these was at Capital
and Nhemeketa streets where two au'
toS ran into the side of street ear
and another occurred at Mill and
Winter when a motorcycle bumped in
to the side Of ear. These accidents
would probably not have happened
had the near side stop system been
used, where the street cars take on
passengers brfore crossing the street.

THEN AND NOW

The Mexican War in 1916 was our
most successful war. but we learned
nothing from it. We employed over
100000 men in the conflict against an
enemy numbering approximately 49,
600. With the regulars in the field
and militia Immediately available we
have about $4,000 men for service at
present. 1t is said that the Carranza
forces actually in Northern Mexico
at present number over 10000, includ-
ing $4,000 mounted men, who know
the country like book. The number
of regular troops employed in the
Mexican War was $1,000, or about the
same number now under General Fun
ston. American success in the early
war was largely due to the body of
trained soldiers who served as a nue.
leus and allowed time to train volun-
teers. This obviated the necessity of
using large numbers of militiamen. as
during the War of 1912, which was
so costly for lack of trained men. Ow-
ing to the fact that the militia was
not available for service outside of the
United States we were compelled to
fight Mexico with trained men, using
only IL per cent of militia against
about SO per cent in the War of 1872.

READY FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Justice Hughes has entered into the
campaign with speed and vigor. He
has opened personal headquarters in
New York, and during the past two
weeks has seen number Of the Re-
publican leaders, as well as many
prominent progressives who have an
nounced their intention to work for
his election. Among Mr.. Hughes Re
publican callers were ex-senator w.
Murray Crane Of Massachusetts, Gov
ernor Whitman of New York and for
mer Attorney General Geo. w. Wick
ersham; and from the Progressives he
has seen Geo. w. Perkins, Oscar
Straus, ex-secretary of Commerce
and Labor. and others. 1t is under
stood he intends to make at least one
speaking tour of the entire country,
and perhaps two, for he believes the
American people are eager to listen 10
a sane discussion of the vital ques-
tions of the day, and that in this GO
ing before the people he stands his
best chance of election. 1t is already
apparent that Mr.. Hughes will run
his own campaign.

The. visitors were up in the second

on delivery. The run rendered Mill

he went to pieces in the third.
In the big inning Siner led taking
first on grounder. He was advanc-

came home on Doty's long single into
deep right, Mahony going to third,
and Doty taking second on the throw

thrown out. Nolen nosed the pill for
two sacks, scoring Mahony and Doty,
Gould doubled scoring Nolen and
came home when Hudnutt hit safe

McHale was out on a grounder to
second, and Hudnutt, stole third.
Wheeler singled, stole second and

The locals eighth run was chalked
up in the twelfth when Hudnutt
squeezed a grounder through the in

Is There is disposition in certain
y There is a disposition in certain quar-
tiers to look upon the possibility OF
trouble in Mexico as a sort OF military
lark. Some of the more enthusiastic
Guardsman are looking forward to a
perfectly corking vacation, combining
all the joys of the camp with a mini
mum of danger TO the man hunters.
There are others who are inclined to
look upon the whole matter as too
trivial for serious thought. They are
patriotic and all that but they have
no enthusiasm for such poor sport
ing proposition. Of course, if there
was any real danger to the country, if
we were threatened by a. first-class
power, they would enlist, and gladly,
but Mexico--let few of the boys go
down and hold the border while Per-
shing cleans up the country
Both of these attitudes are griev-
ously wrong. They spring from the
mixture of robust egoism, admirable
self reliance, deplorable ignorance Of
history, unquestionable courage, ex-
cessive faith and obliviousness to con-
tingent danger that sums up the
average American character, espec-
tally young masculine character. The
fact is, as every army officer and stud
ent of military affairs knows, that
war with Mexico would prove to be
anything but a picnic. 1t would
mean fighting of the most determined
kind from the outset and would be
costly in precious lives. We should
be fortunate if there were no Alamos,
and while the lack Of resources on the
part Of the Mexicans would work for
the success of our troops, at first the

Dog and Bows Kill Bear

Summit City.-Six boys, armed on
ly with clubs and abetted by a big
dog, killed a large bear near here.
The boys, all under 16 years of age,
were returning from Walton juno
ton, and as they neared this village
a big bear leaped across their path.
Grabbing clubs, they fought for an
hour with the animal and finally beat
out its brains. Hicks Corners was
the scene of a bear skinning and
some people in this vicinity enjoyed
bear steak for the first time.

MOBILIZATION OF THE MILITIA

For the first time in eighteen years
the militia of all the states is being
modified. President Mckinley called
for 1850 men April %, 1898, appor-
tioning the levy among the states,
according to the population, giving
the members of the militia the first
chance. The present order differs in
several respects. In 1898 there had
been a declaration of war. No mil
itiaman was under obligation to vol
unteer. The line officers were, as
now, named by the governors of the
several states. But all had to be
mustered out of the state into the
United States service. No war has
been declared now. The militia has
been called out under exercise of the
constitutional power to repel invasion.
The members, under the new legisla-
ton. are now sworn TO obey orders
Of the president of the United States
and Congress will doubtless make i'm
mediately effective the experimental
law permitting the use of the militia
outside the United States. The alac-
rity with which officers and men in
the different states are responding
contrasts strikingly with the reluct-
ance shown some time ago by mill
tiamen in the states on the Mexican
border, where we had expected eager
ness.

SENSIBLE AND MAGNAMINoUs

Col. Roosevelts withdrawal from
the race is in every way to his credit.
He has had the compliment of nom
nation by his own party and of such
enthusiasm in the Republican conven-
ton as no other candidate could in
spire. He has not been crushed a
second time by the steam roller, but
has demonstrated the loyalty and the

REQ SPECIALS CAME TO
DEFEAT HERE SUNDAY

The REQ Specials came here from
Lansing Sunday to put a kink in the
locals string of undefeats, but went
home with only one little score tuck
ed under their belts. The locals bat
tied hard, it is true, but were able to
keep the odds well away from the
danger line Four runs was the result
of the days pilgrimage. VosS pitch
ed a star game, holding the visitors so
close that they were unable TO get
but one ball out Of the infield. Bis
sonette, Hastings star twirler of
last year, presided on the mound for
the Reos, but failed to show his last
years vigor. Foster, also a Hastings
star of last year, was at the receiving
end.

STOP SUNDAY FUNERALS

The auto livery chauffeurs of Chica-
90 have sent a request to the minis
tiers Of that city asking them to dis
courage Sunday funerals. The min
listers are unanimous in their accord
with the chauffeurs. The first body
to act officially upon the memorial is
the Epicopalians, who voted in dioce-
san conventions:
1t is the sense of this convention
that the principle of one day of rest
in seven is of Unreasonable value to
the community and should be adopted
to the fullest extent possible in the
state of Illinois. selecting for that
purpose the Lords Day as day Of
rest and public worship.
In furtherance of this principle this
convention strongly deprecates the
custom of holding funerals on Sun
day, especially from our churches,
and urges all members in the diocese
of Chicago to- abstain whenever it is
possible from the holding Of funerals
on that day.

third ticket at this time means the
defeat both of himself and Hughes,
and he is in position not only to be
sensible but magninimous.
