The Fall Idea.

The report OF Senator Falls sub
committee OF the senate foreign rela-
tons committee, dealing with the sub
ject of Mexico, contains over 100000
words. II is the most elaborate state
maAt about Mexico that this govern
ment has ever had to consider, but II
Ia not necessarily valuable In proportion
TO lie length.
Senator Fan Is we'll known TO have
agitAted nov for many years. both in
season and out. for American inter-
vsntioR in Mexico. In the meantime
conditions In Mexico have not improved,
they have gone the other way, and
the senator's convictions have only
grown stronger. For that reason the
indictments have all gone TO him with
their stories. and he has used all Of
these to forward what he believes to
be righteous propaganda.
The Mexican outrages at the ex-
pense Of American citizens are of two
kinds, one being made up OF crimes
committed by bandits and desperadoes
not properly kept under by the Mexi-
can government. and the other OF re-
pressive policies written into the Mexi-
can constitution at the expense of for
eiGners trying to do business in that
country
Americans going deliberately into
Mexico are like men deliberately enter
ing into a rough house, but there Is
always the question whether we want
= rough .house year after year as our
next-dOor neighbor.
Senator Fall has a very definite pro-
gram to deal with the Mexican crimes
against Americans, as well as with the
disabilities that Americans are under
by the terms OF the Mexican constitu-
tion. He favors new treaty with
Mexico which would except certain
parts Of the constitution from apply
ing to Americans In the very likely
event that the MexIcans would not
agree to such a treaty for which he
goes so far as TO supply the very words,
or In the equally likely event that in
diyidual crimes against Americans can
not be stopped by the Mexican govern
en- e1peditionary force to clean up Mex
Toto open and maintain open every
line OF communication between the City
Of Mexico and every seaport and border
post In Mexico"
Senator Falls opinion will have
weight when it comes to drafting the
Republican platform, though 1t Is not
the counsel OF moderation The sena-
tor in fact was the very man selected
by Chairman Hays OF the Republican
national committee to draft his pre-
convention plank for submission to the
delegates at large, and this is straw
which would indicate that the Repub-
hcans are preparing to campaign the
country in favor OF Intervention in
Mexico.

What's In a Name?

EUDORA.
Eudora was transplanted direct from
ancient Greece, where the word for
happy gift" became feminine proper
name and was given much vogue among
Greek damsels, Its quaint sound, as
well as its pleasing significance,
brought it to French romance as Eu-
dore
But the first Eudora and the one
whom our adoption of the name com
memorates was one of the Nereids OF
Greek mythology. Like Amphttrite.
Thetis and Galatea, she was best known
Of the sea nymphs. According to
mythology, the Nereids, so or 100 in
number, were the daughters of Ne
reus and Doris, and were attendants
upon Poseidon, god Of the sea, They
were represented as having entire hui
man form and riding upon sea horses
or other sea monsters.
Another form OF the name-Eudoria-
was much used by Greek expresses
and imperial brides who bore a name
unsuited to the Greek ear assumed
1t voluntarily, Through the saints of
the Greek church the name reached
Russia as Jevdoksiia.

vember sixth These rival teams
have not met since 1915, when sou
Metzgar, then coach or the Noun
taineers, withdrew his team from
the field because OF the alleged un'
fairness on the part OF an official.
MetzRar's action attracted national
comment, and only served to In
crease the already intense feeling
between the two institutions. The
Mountaineers were leading ST. and
the teams supporters had high
hopes OF q victory, when Coach
MetZgar ordered his team from the

game was forfeited to the virgin

The 1915 affair was the sixth
meeting between the schools, anu
nm until that time West Virginia
had won three and lost two games.
It Is interesting to note that w: "

three. When the teams first met

fonght game the Mountatneers
emerged on the long end OF, an Sd
score. Not until 1913 did the two
schools clash again. This time w.

West Virginia again lost SO.
Then in 1916 came the memorable
parne. which caused the temporary
dIscontinuation of athletic rela-

scheduled another game and unless
the unexpected happens the w. v.

If Is seldom that a rubber"
game is played and when they. do
take place a holly contested bar
lie always results. The game on
November sixth will not be an e%'

real fighting can be expected.
