CARRANZA MUST CHOOSE

While the rest of Latin America showed that it understood the common interests of all the na- tions of the western world Mexico alone is giving the United States government cause for concern. Reports from that country are not satisfactory.
 If there k not enough gratitude in Carranza tor the assistance he received from our govern ment in their struggle against Huerta; for the patience with which President Wilson has dealt with the problems presented through the inabil- ity of Carranza to discharge his plain duty; it would seem that he should at least have enough sense to consider what may happen to him. some day. However. he can take his own choice ito be extremely good or to bear the extremely unpleasant conseouences which. as surely as the night follows the day. will fall upon him if he tries to be foxy while we are busy with another country The sooner he makes his attitude per feet" e'ear an5 hacks ii I'D with perfectly good evidence of his sincerity the better it will be for him and his power in Mexico.

Baltimore Conference Importan:
Step i'm MethOdism

Adoption of resolutions favor
ing unification of Methodism by
the Baltimore conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, meeting at Roanoke, Va,
is, in the opinion of Rev. Al. j.
Gearhead, pastor of the Louis
lana Avenue Methodist Church
South, an important step toward
uniting the two churches.
The Baltimore conference, DIR.
Gearhead points out, is consider
ed border conference" re-
fleeing the opinions of both
churches, and it's decision that
the churches should be united
indicates that a unity of thought
now is pervading the two Sec
tons.
The difference between the
North and South churches are
three: The question of regional
conferences, the authority of the
general conference, and t h e
status of the negroes. The south
wants the negroes separated,
and the north wants therl as a
part of the general church with
a voice in the regional confer
ences.
The general conferences of the
church of the South about three
years ago recorded itself in favor
of uniting the churches, and SINH
lar action was taken about a year
later by the churches of til e
North. A committee of so,
each church appointing half of
the members. was named to study
the question. Its first meet
ing was held about six months
ago.

Touring Expenditures of Motorists.

Washington, May lot is
often asserted that motorists
spend considerable money in the
states through which they tour
and that the financial return to
a state from this sort of source in
cludes a large sum from resi-
dents of other states. The State
Highway Commissioner of Col
orado decided to find out, if pos
sible, how much truth there was
in this frequently made claim.
So he distributed in Denver, Col
orado Springs and Pueblo cir
cular letter of inquiry regarding
the expense of touring to resi-
dents of other states, the length
of their stay in Colorado, and
similar facts. He obtained re-
plies from 76 tourists from other
states, which showed that each
car carried four persons, as a
rule, the average expenditure
was $3.50 per day, and the aver
age stay in the state was ESQ
days. The records of travel
counts and other estimates of
foreign cars indicate that during
1916 about 26,500 cars of nom
residents passed through Colo
RADIO, and the State Highway
Commissioner estimates, on the
basis of the replies to his inquiries,
that as a result of this touring
by residents of other states about
$40, 900, 600 was brought into and
spent in the state. Touring is
made easy by 10 camping sites
in Colorado cities or towns and
by the camping facilities afford
ed under reasonable restrictions
by the officers in charge of the
National Forest Reserves.
