MAKING A SHRINE FREE.

what humiliating to the great OF the American
people who have not visited Mount Vernon learn
that an admittance fee is required fo- entrance
thereto and furthermore. that 1t is the only Ameri

These disagreeable facts brought before
the public by movement bring about legislation
by congress providing for the purchase of Mount
Vernon and for the putting Of that sacred place
Ger the care OF the government and making it free
to the people
This movement had its inception in resolution
adopted by the chamber of commerce at the nation

tory respectfully to congress that the
proper steps be taken 10 insure the ownership OF
Mount Vernon by the United States"
This is not TO be understood as implying in the
slightest degree that the regents representing the
different states have been negligent since the Mount
Vernon Ladies' association purchased the estate
$50. for since that time it has been constant
labor love the part OF the custodians to keep
the mansion the tomb, and the grounds in excellent
condition, meanwhile preserving ell the articles OF
historical and also restoring the house

for eventualities.
Three times We have been COM
pelled to put armed forces on Mex

sary TO establish an embargo on the
shipment of arms to Mexico, because
Of the grave danger that they might
fall into the hands OF outlaws and
revolutionaries. on top OF all this,
and by no means least important,
IS the exclusion Of Mexico from the
League Of Nations,-not dead, but
sleeping.

CARELESS of how pro-German or anti

ton of this possibility IN our inabil-
ity TO protest TO Spain. over alleged
shipment OF arms to Mr.. Carranza,
because that country was not a
a party TO the international arms
convention. To Belgium, which
signed this instrument, we might
present our case confidently. There
seems to have been some new I'M

powers with reference to the sale Of

picious-since We claimed the right
to sell wholesale TO England, France
and Russia despite Germany pro

People who think that a war with
Mexico would DE a minor campaign
are particularly representative of a
blind chauvinism. To attempt TO
subdue millions of people, skilled
in guerilla warfare, over vast
stretches of desert, would take a de-
plorable toll. And such IS the dis
organized state of the world that
we would be fortunate to escape
foreign entanglements. The Amer

Mexico, or with any other country.
