PASSING PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

It was not so long ago that the railroads of the country were denied the privilege of giving passes over their lines to anyone they pleased. This was done because it was consid- cred an injustice to the travelling pub lie and caused the roads to be de- prived of much deserved revenue. The change was regarded as beneficial for the giving of passes had been carried to the limit and beyond, but it was anticipa ted that the new rule would be so generally enforced that passes would become as scarce as hens teeth.
 Such however does not appear to be the case for the railroad adninistra- ton in it's report to the senate shows that there are 1000 people who have been given passes which permit them to travel on all lines controlled by the administration. In other words they could go from one end of the country to the other without paying railroad fare. That passes should be issued to railroad officials and their families however does not cause much surprise when one stops to think of the pro miscuous manner in which they were formerly distributed, but when this list of 900 is found to contain the name of William G. McAdoo. former secretary of the treasury, even after he has severed his connection with the railroad administration and the gov ernment it is indeed bit surprising.
 And in view of the fact that he has been said to have taken S100,00O job in the moving picture business it is astonishing that he should have been willing to have accepted such passes as were issued to him and his family. The claim is made that it was done because he is Special counsel for the state of New York but only those who devote their entire time to rail- road work were supposed to get free rides and it can hardly be said that all his time is given to this New York state job. But even were that 50, why should public officials be specially fla x-Orad in that

 Mexico has a wealth of archeologic- al relics, remnants of an ancient civ ilizaZtion of which no we'll defined trace exists. Volumes have been written to demonstrate that the build CTS of what are now ruins were of Mongolian, Semiic, or Phoenician ori- gin, but the riddle cannot be admitted as solved. All authorities, however, unite in praise of the magnitude and the perfection of workmanship shown at various ruins throughout the Mex ican territory. The region adjacent to some of these raises question to the source of sustenance for multi tudes which must have then existed and causes speculation upon changes which may have occurred in the inter- val
 Prominent among these ruins are UXmal and Chichen-It in the State of Yucatan; Palenque, in the State of Chipas; Mitla. in the State of Oaxa- ca, and Xochicalco, in the State of Morelos.
 The pyramid of ChoIula, in Puebla, and those of the Sun and Moon, in the State of Mexico, have also been Db- orally described, but distributed over wide areas are many other ruins which have had but little or no in vesIigation, and rock sculptures, found in numerous localities, are the tory is unknown and whose names are

PERsHING's RETURN.

With his departure from France on his return to this country. it was but natural that General Pershing. who has been in command of the American n forces sent to participate in the war in Europe and under whose guidance they materially aided in the success ful outcome of the struggle. should have been given a rousing sendoff by the French authorities. His arrival in France as the head of our army over two years ago was an unusual affair This country has not been accus- toned to send its forces to Europe for battle. but circumstances required it. General Pershing was picked to lead them and though he commanded the lightning trained Yankees he was able by the numbers and the equip ment provided for him, as well as the quick transportat ton of the troops. r hich Germany never believed could be accomp plished in time to be of any service, to turn the tide of battle and aid in winning the war for right and humanity.
 France had every reason for spe- ci7lly marking the departure of the American comma nder termed by Tar dieu as "a great friend of all of us" for he returns a victor after endering signal service and completing the task that was undertaken. But even as France manifested it's appreciation of his work it is equally fitting that this country should see that no stones are Ter unturned in giving him the warm welcome that he deserves on reaching home. Congress can well make his title of general permanent but the country should see that he gets the reception that he deserves and from the plans under way there is no reason to believe that it will be tagging in any detail. sPicked for a big task he has saperformed it well and there with

STORIES OF THE WAR
Spirod donoH.

Correspondence of The Associated
 Press.)
 Legends are springing up among the peasants in the territory about the Murmansk railway front. where Amer ican railway troops assisted the Russo Allied forces against the Bolshiviki, about the personality of q Bolshevik chieftain known as Spirodonoff.
 Like the notorious MaXo, d daring Bolshevik bandit whose fame has be- come widespread in the Ukraine, Spir- odonoff has never been seen by any of the allied forces. though captured doc uments and overheard telephone con- versations between Bolshevik com manderS conVinceS the allies that Spirodonoff exists.
 One of the stories about him is that, as Bolshevik comma nder of operations on the Murmansk front. he has been twice wounded, but now insists on be- ing carried to the front in chair, from which he directs front line op- era atio1ls. From peasants it is learned that he combines great personal daring with absolute ruthlessness in dealing with those who oppose him.

CLAIMS ON MEXICO

If we are to judge from his recent decree amending the law on claims in Mexico, Carranza has seen the wis dom of receding from his stiff necked position so long maintained and un- less We are greatly mistaken he is do- ing what he should have done some time ago though how he could have expected to avoid the claims for dam ages for losses is difficult to under stand
 It has taken some time nevertheless for hJm to get around to recognizing the fact that Mexico must settle for the losses during the rebellions lead ing ID to the recognition of his gov ernment, and to admit that it must expect to pay those that have been sustained as the result of the regional revolts that have occurred from time to time, some of which are still be- ing maintained.
 Carranza by his acts is doing what other governments recognize that they are obliged to do under similar cir cumsuances, although it has taken nearly two ana a half years for him to come to the point of declaring it. The tact that the nations that have claims against Mexico have been busy in other directions may to a certain ex- tent account for this apparent mat tention, but it is apparent. that he saw that it could not longer be dslaxad

AUNT JULIA'S SOUVENIRS

 Well" said Mary. sandwich poised, 'T took this trip east with Aunt Julia. Know my Aunt Julia? No? Well, she's a regular person in most ways, but she has the most frightful habit of collecting souvenirs everywhere she goes. You'd think that was the sole ways been full of stuff. Aunt Julia gleaned in ages past. but I'd never realized before how rabid she was on the subject. She has always kept ten post card albums in our library, to say nothing of eight or ten kodak books and she has shells from the sea- shore, balsam pillows from the noun tains, grass baskets from Florida and beads and serapes from Mexico. She has spoons from the worlds fair, the Pan-American, the San Francisco eX- position and every large city she has ever visited, baskets and pottery and every other old place under the sun. I really ought ot have been forewarn- ed.
 Well. you know we went to the White Mountains, but stopped first in 4 city like Boston, musty with histor- ical relics, is simply a paradise to Aunt Julia. She'd only meant to stay three days but the longer she stayed the more there was to see. There won't be so much of Boston left for the next tourists, though. believe me! Aunt Julia clipped off a piece of nearly ev- erything in the city. She got a stone from Bunker Hill monument, turf from the front of Lonsfellow's home in Cambridge, a section of Old North church, some of the common, large copies of all the pictures in their fine decorated library some books a Bos- ton bag-the kind every one in Bos- ton carries but only plumbers use out here-and, well, I can't catalogue them all, but I know I had to buy an ex- tra suitcase to hold the produce of

We might use It for Christmas presents if Aunt Julia didn't treasure it so, but then nobody really cares about re- ceiving bits of old rocks and fence pal ings. There's nothing I can do, appar- ently, to keep Aunt Julia from adoring the mantelpiece with it. And she'll actually brag about it and tell people where she got things. Funny, isn't it.

 This bulletin. based on q communi- ca tion to The Society from John Birk- nbine, follows:

 Throughout much Of the country, and often within short distances of railroads, are remnants of some of the ancient native tribes or races, adheFlng to customs, methods, and speech of their ancestors.
 Thus is Oaxaca are the Zapotecas and Mixtecas, the estimate for the two races being half million, and a gov ernment publication mentions dozen other families in the same State.
 Tn EidaIgo and adjacent states, the Otomis: in PuebIa and Oaxaca, the Mexicanos: the predominating Mayas in Yucatan; in Michoacan and Jalisco, the Tara scans, and TIaxcalms. in their native state, and other groups else where, still maintain the tribal indi- Vidualiies.
 Although Spanish is the language of the country, and much English is spoken in the regions most visited, a large number of the natives use only the vernacular.
 Prescott refers to the Aztecs, TlaxacalanS, and others as producers of delicate fabrics, colored by vege- table dyes; intricate designs in the tions made of feathers; numerous ru- ins also indicate marvellous skill of ancient pepople in stone work. es- pecally as the tools used were obsidian or copper
 Evidences that this deftness in handiwork has been retained appears in the flea ther-work, wood carving, stone-cutting, etc, of the present day. The beautiful pottery and unique weaves of serapes, made with the crudest appliances, and excellent ia br;cations in cast or wrought iron filagree silver, etc, also bear testi- mony to the skill of the Mexican In- dian.

REGULATING GOLD STORAGE.

Seemingly with the idea of over coming the detrimental features and restricting cold storage to service that will meet the reuuirements of the con- sIimer the agric,Iitu.3. commit: ec of the iewer house of congress las de oidcd upon bill that will impc e lew rcEUla.2rs upon oold storage no Ises and those using them. By the revela : tions that have been made relative to the hoardinE that has been carried on for the purpose of pushing up prices and getting handsome rakeoff through taking advantage of the ia Cilities that are offered by the stora ge plants in keeping foodstufs. it has been made apparent that regardless of the benefits furnished by cold storage there is need of additional regulations in order to prevent this very aid to preservation and distribution from being misused.
 With that aim in view the house agricultural committee proposes that in the future all goods pla ced in cold storage should be stamped, that an other stamp should be affixed when it is taken out and that no foodstuffs can be kept in cold storage for over twelve months If the committee goes into this matter as it should. and there seems to be reason for believing that such is it's intention since there IS provision for system of inspcc- ton and regulation by the department Of agriculture. it will guard against such food as may have been in one storage place for several months being repeatedly transferred so that it's stay in cold storage will be indefinite and the intent of the law overcome.
