"'No,' whispered the Butterflies,

"'Oh,' said the Fairy Queen, laugh

than the Humming Birds came flying

ball was being given.
'Hum-hum-h-m,' they sang. we

BUTTERFLIES BALL.

"The Fairies" said Daddy, gave a
Ball in Fairyland yesterday, just when
Mr.. Sun was shining through the Trees
and making the Shadows especially
lovely.
'The Bah was given for the Butter
flies, and they all came in their Air
Chariots.
'How-do-you-do,' said the Yellow
Butterflies in chorus, and the Blue But
terllies said:
It's a hot day, just what we like
"Then came the Black and White
Butterflies, wearing their suits with
the spots of red. Oh, they were very
fine and smart looking.
''They flew all around the Fairies,
and then they alighted on the Fairy
Queen and some stayed in the air SO
that they looked like a great Tower of
black and white and red.
"All the Fairies clapped their hands
and Danced about when they saw the
beautiful Butterfly Tower, and though
the Fairy Queen did not dare move for
fear of disturbing them, how happy il
made her to have them pay her such a
compliment.
Then came the Black and White
terfly family, and they were in all the
colors you can imagine. After they
had all seen the Tower of Butterflies

Election day is a method of choosing
presidents which would be more popu-
lar if it came oftener. If the Constitu-
ton could be amended so that we could
vote for president every few weeks,
think how much more money would be
put in circulation by the perspiring,
openfaced candidate. The Constitution
is all right in its way, but it is little
lacking in this respect.
The object of election day is to puri-
fy our national life and at the same
time improve the postal service by re
moving large hordes of pernicious par
tisans therefrom by the scruff of the
neck. If postmasters We're appointed for
life, presidential election would arouse
about as much excitement as a Joint
debate on the authorship of the Penta-
teueh. This is proven by the fact that
all over the country today candidates
for the postotfice are dragging the re-
luetant voter to the polling place in
rented touring cars, with one eye cooked

GUESSING ON THE RESULT.

The New York Herald is supporting
Hughes editorially, but it's straw vote
mclines slightly toward Wilson. The
New York Times is supporting Wilson,
yet it gives almost as many sure states
to Hughes as to Wilson with the result
depending on 121 electoral votes in
doubtful states. The Herald s result
is based upon the comparatively few
readers who took the trouble to respond
to its request for their position on the
presidency. The statement of the Times
is based on the reports of trained cor
respondents writing from the different
states, with New York s IS electoral
votes not included at all.
The Herald s national straw vote
canvass indicates the situation result
Ing from the casting of half million
of votes as resting on a balance so del
icate that in the language of the Her
aid, ga hair s weight may swing it il
either direction
The total vote cast was 4S,463, o.
which Wilson had 122, 1872, Hughes 119,
$40, Benson 6,429. The suspicious fea
ture Of the Herald 5 vote as an inde1
is that not single vote is obtained 70

of thousands of votes will be cast 70
the Prohibition candidate for the presi
dency, as well as for Benson, the So
eialist. The Times admission of wild
doubt is the more correct.
The truth of the matter is that wit
so many states depending upon tn
votes of women for the first time in
presidential election and with so man
cross currents and counter currents, nc
body knows absolutely anything abou
the result as a whole. We may hop
and we may guess, basing our guesse
on onesided statements we want to be
lieve, but beyond that every man an
every woman must candidly admit the

over the Fairy Queen, the Black and
White Butterflies with the red spots
came down to the earth and did Square
Dances and Flying Exhibitions.
"'We're to have said the Fairy
Queen, "a prize for the Butterflies who
do the loveliest Dance, and who pick
out the Flowers to dance over that we
think match their costumes best
'All the Butterflies at once picked
out the Flowers they were going to

some chose the Golden Rod-they were
chosen by the Yellow Butterflies; some

Protection to America and Ameri-
cans in every walk of life and wherever
they may rightfully be and to Ameri-
can business and enterprise of every
kind, is the great issue of the cam
2aign. As Mr.. Hughes has put it, the
thing to make sure of is America
first and America Efficient Can the
people hesitate about the decision? The
need of protection of this sort is SC
clear that the election of a Republican
President and a Republican congress
ought to be as certain as the coming OF
election day.

terly pay check.
Election day is also held for the pur-
pose of settling great issues Every four
years a new crop of issues springs up,
and when vigorously advocated by
some intrepid, iron-throated candidate
can be made TO last for several weeks.
The successful candidate is one who
can manufacture a new, infammable is
sue and keep it on its feet until the
polls are closed. There is only one issue
which does not need the oxygen treat
ment from time to time, and that is
the tariff, which has more lives than a
eat and seldom fails to light on its
feet.
The worst thing about election day
IS the man who fails to vote and then
stands on the street corner and kicks.

the chance to vote for some great and
good man only once in four years he
would make use of it, instead of trying

ON MEXICAN POLICY

One of the most remarkable eontri-
buttons to the current discussion of
our foreign policy comes up from Mex
leo, by means of the Outlook, which
recently had Gregory Mason, of its
staff, in the sister republic, Investigate
ing conditions at first hand. Within
three days Mr.. Mason successfully saw
the four leading men of Mexico. AID
1t is worth the attention Of every
thinking American that all four de-
clared that in the interests of restor-
ing peace, order and settled constitu-
tional government they would far pre-
fer an openly aggressive policy on the
part Of Mr.. Hughes, in protection of
the rights of Americans in Mexico, to
the vaeillating, uncertain. blow-hot,
blow-cold policy of the present admin
istration!
Wilson has not kept faith with
Mexico" declared Venustiano Car
rama; "Wilso1 makes too many deela-
rations which have no facts behind
them" says Alvaro Obregon, the seere-
tary of war and the foremost military
figure; "Wilson s policy is not clear:
it is not frank; it is not clean,'' saws
General Gonzales; while Aguilar. the
secretary of foreign relations, says that
Wilson has kept a loaded and cooked
pistol at Mexico s head through all his
administration, yet has neither pulled
the trigger, nor laid the weapon
aside We prefer to know the worst
and to have it over with SAYS Agui.

years of suspense with no definite solu.

The interviews, in detail are ampli-
fications Of the quoted views. Wilson
invades Mexico, and keeps troops there
for months, the Mexican leaders saw.
and yet talks buncombeD about
friendship" between the two repub.
lies, aad about the determination not
to allow interference with Mexico s
internal affairs. - Gen. Gonzales saws
that President Wilson is more to blame
than any other man for the outlawrv.
the disorder in Mexico today. The
Nlllistas have not been seriously hurt
by the Pershing expedition, he adds
but on the contrary they have thereby
gained recruits from Mexicans who are
lneensed at the constant presence of
American soldiers in Mexico, doing
nothing to quell the disorders. The
people of Mexico do not think Ameri.
cans want war with Mexico, but Presi.
dent Wilson has done very much to
bring such war about. Constitutional
government in Mexico, he declares. is
'lnPossible" so long as President Will
son Is in Washington, directing the
movements of American troops, and the
policies Of the state department.
We would not have complained
mueh," says Carranza frankly, eff the
troops had made a dash across the bor-
der and then returned" when their
work was done. But, he adds, keeping
Pershing in Mexico, inactive, a con-
slant menace as most Mexieans regard
his force, has simply made it impossi.
