Forfeit Public Sympathy.

Should the improbable happen and
the yardmen win their strike, they
will have lost. They have already
lost a possession of greater worth to
them than any betterment of wages
or hours, or conditions. They have
lost the friendship of the American
people. And it is upon that friend
ship that the yardmen-and all other
employees of public or semi-publiC
enterprises-must eventually rely.
The yardmen's strike is obnoxius
to the people because it effects a tie.
up, partial at least, of the agencies
of transportation upon which the
great cities depend for their daily
bread. 1t is doubly obnoxious be-
cause the strikers are so completely
devoid of justification that they have
been repudiated by their own and
affiliated organizations.
Whatever happens, the yardmen
will not gain their demands by force
After the strike has been broken and
they have returned to work their
complaints will be taken up in pre-
cisely the manner that they would
have been had they not struck. And
the workers will go into a court be
fore which they have prejudiced their
case.
The public is exceedingly tired of
vicious strikes, unjustifed or un-
necessary, which result in suffering
and hardship to the people generally.

Worrying About Third Term

In the days of our youth we ran
eagerly to every thirdterm fire, how
ever slight, but in later years we are
in the habit of waiting for the fifth
alarm, and for that reason we cannot
share in Representative Humphreys
fear that President Wilson may be
seeking a denomination and re-elec-
Mr., Humphreys suddenly acquired
conviction that the President ought
to declare himself at once.
The two-term rule was established
by n President, not by a Congress,
and it has been maintained by Pres
idents. Although many Presidents
have been accused of seeking a third
term. only two of them have ever
acknowledged that ambition, and in
the case of Grant his personal inclin-
tiOns were not very strong. Only
Roosevelt has actually been a candi-
date at the polls for a third term,
and Roosevelt was law unto him
self.
Ihe fact that PreSldent refuses
to declare that he is not a candidate
for a third term is no proof that he is
a candidate. His silence is part Of
the strategy of the Office, for the
moment that he has eliminated him
self his influence as party leader is
gone. Hence Presidents are disposed
to sit tight and let congressman
make speeches about the torch of
liberty, which is something that con-
gressmen usually do much better
than they legislate - New York

Paint Up, Clean Up,

With nature freshening up, the
people should be stimulated to match
her, to what extent they car, with a
clean up and paint up campaign.
Here is where the high cost"
while having to be considered as
usual where supplies arc to be pur-
chased and labor paid for, cannot be
pleaded as far as in some cases, be-
cause a lot of this work can be done
by members of the family before OF
after their regular employment.
The improved appearances from
the simplest "tldying up" needs no
discussion in detail. 1t is just mat
ter of mems turning in to red up and
brighten up things on tho outside of
the house as they expect the women
to do on the inside. Let every men,
Der of the family do his or her part.
While it is hoped with respect to
some things that there will be no re-
turn to pre-war conditions, the soon
er we get back to such pre-war con-
ditions, the sooner we get back to
such peace-time customs as paint up,
clean UP days" the better.
Then there is the deSirahility of
cultivating more flowers. While the
raising of vegetables naturally is the
more important, it must not be over
looked that beauty has its value; that
the esthetic nature requires food in
the way of pleasing sights as well as
the physical things suitable to it.
Every person who plants flower in
the yard is to that extent a public
beaefGctor, because, in addition to
the pleasure he finds in it, plasure is
given to ali who pass that way.

MexicO's Frightening Sky.

The announcement that Mexico is
her foreign debt is significant. For
seven years, or even since the fall of
Madero, she has been unable to meet
this charge. Recently, however, her
balance sheet has begun to look
better, and now the excess of receipts
over expenditures enables her to
shoulder her entire financial burden.
This is as good news to the public as
il is to Mexicans or to foreign invest
Ors. 1t removes one of the talk
ing points" of the interventionists.
1t is also a sign of internal improve
ment that promises the disappear
ance of other grievances. 1t has
been evident lately that the disorders
that have harassed Mexico for so
long were quieting down. One rebel
cheftain after another has decided
that the profession is not what 1t
used to be and has made his submis-
sion to the authorities There has
been a great falling off in reports OF
raids by lawless individuals or by
anti-Carranza leaders, Ell Paso has
not been so busy. Our diplomatic
relations with Mexico have been
placed up on a normal footing by
the appointment of Mr., Morgenthau,
whose presence in Mexico City should

Second Home Service Appeal
Campaigners Will Call on

ZONE REPORTS GOOD
Manager Rollo Expects Appeal
Goal to Be Reached Despite
Bad Weather Start.

Workers for the Salvation Army Sec
ond home service appeal will visit the
L. & N. shops today to- make final
cleanup in the campaign. Good re-
ports were turned in to acting city
chairman, j. H. Cross, yesterday and il
is believed the appeal will make its goal
in the city without any trouble, al
though the success of the work was
somewhat delaped by bad weather ear
ly in the week.
Reports from the remainder of the
zone are encouraging, according to
Manager Rollo who says that the west
Florida zone will attain its quota in
this appeal as it has in everything else
it has set out to do. Some of the
counties have already reported their
quotas obtained and others expect to
reach the goal by tonight.
The women's committees have been
doing excellent work in the present
although they, too, have been
handicapped by a limited number of
workers. A appeal has been sent out
for additional volunteers, both by the
mems and the women's committees
and it is believed workers will report
at the respective headquarters today.
Those who have not contributed to
the appeal are asked to donate to the
workers or to mail checks to p. X.

CONGRESS ASSEMBLIES
Mexican Leaders Are Striving
to Obtain Quorum for Spe-
cial Session Monday.

Washington, May ia delegation
representing the more important indus
trial groups in Mexico asked the state
department today for advice as to the
Mexican authorities to whom their
taxes should be paid
E. L. Doheny appeared for the oil
interests and w. l.. Loeb, Jr., of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany was the chief representative of
the mining group. Secretary Colby took
their request under consideration.
The application was the first impor-
tant decision the state department has
asked to make in connection with the
overturn of the Carranza government
1t was explained to Secretary Colby
and Under Secretary of State Polk,
who received the delegation that the
revolution had placed the taxpayers
in such position of uncertainty that
they felt justified in asking that a
course be indicated by the department
The departments summary today of
Mexican advices said that in a caucus
of senators at Mexico City a motion
to invite President Carranza to resign
was defeated. Senators and deputies
of the Mexican congress are continu-
ing to arrive for the special session
May "a, it was added, but so far a
quorum had not assembled.
Regarding conditions at border points
the statement said:
practically normal conditions of
communication between the United
States and Mexico have now been re-
stored"
