WOULD SEE LESS OF HIMSELF.

Colonel Roosevelt having gone to pass fort
night at ''health farm where he will take
strenuous exercise with view to reducing his
weight, a Chicago paper headlines the news
note happily by saying that he hopes to see less
of himself and that his too too solid flesh may
melt.
There was time during the famous three
cornered campaign of 1912 when some OF the
people considered that they had seen enough
of the redoubtabe colonel in the white house.
This was less because of any disfavor in which
he as an individual citizen was held than be-
cause the mass of the people have deeply
rooted and wholly ineradicable objection to see
ing too much of any one man at the head OF
our national affairs. If the two-term rule with
the sanction of a century were departed from,
there was only too much reason to fear that no
rule would restrain the ambition of aspirants
or the schemes of powerful political groups to
keep themselves permanently in power. The
colonel's triumph at that time would have IN
troduced very disturbing element OF uncer-
tainty into our political system-and so would
the success of any president at any time III Sc
curing a third term for himself. But the coun-
try does not see too much of the colonel now
when patriotism, the paramount duty OF clt1-
zens, the advantages of republican government
and the dangers of despotism are the most I'M
portant questions in the world. On all of these
the colonel is outspoken, vigorous, fearless,
splendidly right; and our country and the 9TH
er great democracies of earth do not see too
much of him or hear too many of his ringing
declarations for human freedom now.

FULL CREWS AND LABOR SHORTAGE.

While the Interstate commerce commission
should be preparing to relieve the railroad
situation by granting a rate increase soon
possible after the carriers amend their applI-
cation to meet new conditions, many states
have grave responsibility in matter which
occasions anxiety. The full crew laws should
be repealed. These statutes lay an unneces-
sary burden upon the roads. They serve no
useful purpose. The arguments employed by
men who advocated their enactment when the
country was at peace and business was nor
NAL fail III the present emergency. The roads
will meet all Of the governments transporta-
ton requirements, but there is high authority
for the statement that they will not be able to
respond to all the demands made by business
and industry 1t is folly to compel them to
employ men in places where they are not
needed. The interests of the railroads and the
public will be served by the repeal of these
worse than useless statutes.
When these laws were passed there was no
scarcity of labor They should have been de-
feated not because there were not enough men
to fill the places created in respons to an IN
reasonable demand but because they increased
the cost Of railroad operation without provid-
ing any compensating increase In efficiency
Now conditions are different. The labor short
age is menacng feature of a serious situa-
ton. The services Of every man fit to work
are needed Repeal of the full crew laws will
release thousands Of men whose present en-
ployment brings no return to the railroads or
to the public. The original objections to these

Much Lost to Prohibition.

Sioux City Journal: Whether the
amendment proves under the official
count TO have been defeated or to have
been adopted, much has been lost to
prohibition. The situation in other
states where the issue is up or is soon
to be up will be affected by the vote
in Iowa. In congress the backbone of
those who are at heart opposed to pro-
hibition will be stiffened measurably
The cause of the national amendment

TWO VIEWS OF MEXICO.

From two men of intimate acquaintance
with Mexico come interesting opinions concern
ing the future of that country. General Obre-
gon formerly minister of war In President Car
ranza's cabinet, says the Carranza government
is on a sound basis and permanently estab-
lished in all sections, with the possible excep-
ton of the. state of Durango where Villa and
several other bandits of like caliber' still try
to make trouble He has no anxiety about Villa,
who, he says, is considered joke in Mexico
now. Nor does he fear German Influence IN
the country. Apparently he has full faith in
Carranza and he looks for rapid progress along
sound lines under his government.
Another and less hopeful view is that taken
by Richard r. Cole, of California, who knows
Mexico we'll and is said to have had much to do
with placing Carranza at the head of the gov
eminent Mr. Cole has been quoted as saying
that there can be no future for Mexico as long
as Carranza is surrounded by ring Of graft
ers" The ''rng of grafters'' is no re-
cent development in the restless country
to the south. If today it surrounds the
government, Carranza knows how to deal with
it, No one questions the ability of the man at
the head of the Mexican administration. It
may be too early for a final Judgment as to his
sincerity and purpose to put Mexico on its feet.
But General Obregon's statement that he is
giving the country good start is signif-
cant and important 1t will be worth while to
keep it in mind when reading reports coming
across the border.

If a new draft call becomes necessary it
should not occasion surprise nor should it be IN
terpreted as a move to increase the military
establishment which was originally designed
and authorized When selective draft was con
stituted there were many details in the making
of complete military service that could not
be foreseen, since experience was lacking in the
war board 1t could not be definitely known
how many men would be required to fill va
cancies in the ranks nor how the reorganiza-
ton of the army into divisions would affect the
number necessary Once our active work at the
front is begun, it is of great Importance that We
develop reserve strength at home and abroad
to provide for contingencies. 1t may be justly
assumed that another draft would be made
solely in the interest of the needs of the original
military plan.

say that the war in which we have be-
come involved is not only the right
war for us to be in, but righteous
war. And Henry put up the money to
back UP his right to talk.

Des Moines Register: What the de-
feat OF the amendment has done is to
suggest to everybody that the legis-
lature which created the present sta
tute can change it. which when any
thing arises to hint at change or
sentiment in the state carries with 1t
the further suggestion that it might
be possible to elect Legislature that
would change it. Further than that
the defeat Of the amendment cannot
but suggest to everybody that enforce
ment of the present law is not popular
and we all know how slight hint will
be needed in many parts of the state
to secure a practical notification OF
the law through reimbursement.
Thus though there will be no immed-
late change in the legal status of the
saloons, there will be readily per-
ceptible change in the actual situa'
ton, with liquor put back into Iowa
politics with vengeance.
The Register does not see how the
state can avoid an election next year
on the issue of wet and dry. Nobody
can be proposed for the Legislature
who will not at once be questioned
with regard to the liquor law. The
drys dare not rest on the assurances
of the present. the vets will not, Inc
vets have gained nothing directly by
defeating the amendment. They must
secure a modification of the statute
and it was to leave that door open
that they so desperately resisted a
constitutional provision. They Will at
tempt to drive the wedge of Monday
vote home in the selection OF wet
legislature.
1t is a surprising situation, and an
unexpected situation. The anti-saloon
forces will need leadership of I'M
usual sagacity if they do not find them
selves where they cannot exert theif
strength.

Henry Heinelle of Santa Monica,
who two years ago sent geologists on
hike to the wilds of the Malibu by
reporting the discovery of nest Of
dunes Of singing sands. has again
caused nature students to sit up and
take notice.
This time he reports the discovery
of clump OF whispering trees. The
find was made far up In Los Tunas
canyon, where the county surveyor \
gang recently ran lines for mountain
road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the Topanga at its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
, bottom Of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road Is hung on the side OF the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
point are invariably attracted by what
rounds to them as II somebody in The
| underground were talking in n sub
dued voice.

Mr. Heinelle. after listening to the
supposed whispered conversation. left

cover some hunter who had fallen and

No Wine for Church Is
Ruling of Judge Clark

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 24.-Com
mon carriers are not permitted to in
troduce wines into the state OF Okla
homa for sacramental purposes, ac-
cording to a decision handed down by
District Judge George w. Clark to-
day. The decision was rendered in
the case of the Rt. Rev. Urban De
Hasque, who was seeking to have the
Santa Fe railroad deliver wine at OK
lahoma City to be used for sacra-
mental purposes. In denying the writ
to compel the carrier to deliver the
wine. Judge Clark held that to force
railroads to accept such shipments
was a violation of the prohibitory law
and that there was no reason for
making an exception in the case or
wine shipments for church uses. The
ultimate disposal Of the wine was not
involved in the case, said Judge Clark.
w. +. Wilson. one Of the attorneys
for the plaintiff. announced that an
appeal to the supreme court would be
made.
