MEXICAN POLITICS.

Security of person and property in Mexico under the presidency cf Car ranza has been as much of myth as it was under either of his prede- eessers. Disorder has prevailed and outIawry has prospered under his in- competent control. He has never shown enough administrative force and vigor to assure the world of his purpose to maintain order and his uH- ruly supporters have set at nought b:s professedly benevolent intentions towards that troubled country.
 Now the shadow of possible in- vasion by the United States is raising alarm at Mexico City and bringing about a realization of the effects of the course pursued by the leaders of our sister republic to the south.
 It is this shadow that hangs over the coming general elections in Mex ico. Just now the president of Mex ico is actively engaged in naming his successor. Under the conditions sur rounding a general election in Mexico, the dominant party is in such control, that successful opposition to it can hardly be made except by revolution. It may be that the reported agitation over the dread of American invasion may be nothing more than a Fuse to unite the people behind the Carran- ga party and draw from the Diaz re- volt, which might influence the cleo tion.
 What Carranza's successor in effiee may accomplish in suppressing the bandits, we must wait and see. But Mexico has a, long bill of complaint to face. Redress is asked from that country by many nations. who look to the United States as sponsor un- der the Monroe doctrine for the set tlemeHt of claims arising from the outrages committed during the last eight years. ''Watchful waiting" may be abandoned at Washington, but it must not be forgotten that the two exeursiens made into Mexico have only won for US contempt. If we go again, it must be an expedition mean ing business.

ARMY MEN SCOUT LEADERS.

Hundreds of returned soldiers, sail ors and marines. now back in civil life, are finding opportunity to con- tinue serving their country in the leadership of Boy Scout troops, ac- cording to a report issued by the na- tionaI council. They find places as scoutmasters and assistants, enjoying the outdoor life for which their army experience had qualified them and feeling satisfaction in what they can do for the boys in lessons of man hood and patriotism.
 In this. they are being encoura ged by the war department which has posted the following order on bulle- tins at the various demobilization camps from which service men are being discharged:
 "The attention of returning army officers, and enlisted men who have the necessary qualifications, is direct eds to the opportunity which the Boy Scouts afford them to further serve their country.
 The war department is in full ac- cord with the purpose of the move ment and desires to assist. It is felt that the cooperation of a large mum Der of officers and enlisted men who have seen service in France will in spire the boys with patriotism and a spirit of devotion to their country as nothing else can do."

FEVERISH ENTERTAINMENT

T don't know how they do it.r said the woman with two budding daugh- ters. Every time Marie or Genevieve is asked to a dance I groan I know there is a long. hard winter ahead of me. don't see why going to dance should be the hard work it seems to be nowadays. As I remember it. when I lived in Parkersville and went to a party I retired to my room after din- ner and in half an hour emerged com- pletely gewned. ceHbed. curled and powdered.
 If either Genevieve or Marie has a bid, 1t immediately develops that she has nothing to wear. No matter how her closet. if I timidly mention the fact she gazes upon me with pitying seorn and says Mother-r-r-ri I can't wear any of thase.' Just as though they were -four sacks and dustrags or such!
 And the dressmaker never gets the dress done when she thinks she will. Marie has been in the throes of yellow seergetfe and silver lace for the last week all because she was dancing last evening with narrow shouldered youth who never says anything but |tHaw-' I have tried to imagine what lit would be to have son-in- law for life whe haVed at me always and I will you the human mind has it's limits. never get farther than where I break through all restraints and hurl the ta- bIe lamp at him.
 "Still, Marie assures me he is a hea- venly dancer. Marie did not help us with the house cleaning the day of the party. She had an appointment in the morning with the manicure and hairdresser and after that she could not be where there was any dust on account of her hair. nor could she touch anything grimy on account of her hands As she pointed out. what was the use of spending all fathers money for Identification if I was go- ing to come along and ruthlessly waste the effect? It was my own fault for choosing that day to housec1ean when there were so many other per feetly good days in the ear. And if the living room was to >k like that where on earth was Daniel to sit while he waited for her? suggested hum bly that she might surprise him by being ready when, he came, but. she explained that this was never done. A man expected to wait and nothing ir- ritated a man so as not to do what he expected and. anyhow. she wasn't going to have any man think she was so crazy to go anywhere with him

commercial failures in the United
States so far in 1919 are fewer
than in the corresponding period
last year.
This, in spite of the readjust-
ments through which business gen.

healthy condition and augurs well

against 752 in the same weeks OF
1918 when the record was also
