did not possess one, unless 1t was Yam kee Doodle, and this was not exactly accepta ble to Britain of that day. Mark Twain during his lengthy residence at Bonn, while engaged on "A Tramp Abroad" told the leader of a German band that he could not name his na- tional song with any degree of cer- tainty, because styles changed in his land and that at the moment of sailing he believed the Sweet Byand-By" held the fopular regard.
 Everybody who has been abroad can recall that after a medley of all the national hymns of well known ccun- tries, the United States was just as likely to be represented by "Old Folks at Home" or My old Kentucky Home" as by Yankee Doodle" or Dixie" and it is within the last seven years that the band of an Italian warship in New York, with every appearance of having learned the right thing to do at last, struck up, "Tbere'll Be Hot Hime in the Old Town Tonight" when the mayor stepped aboard.
 The society for the naming of "The -Spangled Banner" as the accepted and officially indorsed national hymn will soon be heard from in every part of the country, and great scrolls of names who desire this measure wil roll for the inspection of the candi- dates.

t1TlHERE is society in the forming
 which deals with the loftiest
 and most patriotic purpose, that of obtaining some official indorsement of The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem of the land of the free, says the Sunday Star of Wash ington, D. C.
 The movement gathers impetus, and a struggle is on to engage all the pres anentiaI candidates and their wives and the V. P.s also. For all practical pur- poses, the nation has adopted Francis Scott Keys noble anthem, but the fact remains that 1t Is usage only and not law.
 It seems the constitutional conven- ton not only failed to present a na- tional song to the new born United States of America, but also to desig- nate the power to Congress or to the States, consequently for 133 years the people have sung first one hymn and then another as popularity prompted
 From the earliest years since Amer jean diplomacy has figured with the older nations, ministers of the United States have been embarrassed when courteously asked by bandmasters to name their national air. John Bigelow scanoalized a suave but pompous leader by cuftly declaring that his country

For a decade or so the news COM
ing from Mexico has presented such a
telegraphic phantasmagoria of ban
ditry, civil war, arson, murder and
pillage that advices from the south
ern republic which do not chronicle
the old-time blood-welter find OBJ
scure corners in the newspapers. A
nation at peace does not often sup
ply copy for the correspondents.
Which is by way of introducing Mex
leo in a new and strange light, says
the Salt Lake Tribune.
The provisional government APP
pears to be f~unctioning without the
customary armed opposition; De la
Huerta is making some excellent ap-
poinments; the government is intro
ducing and extending reformatory
legislation; foreign capital Is begin
ming to move again and foreign in
dustries are Kidding themselves OF
years of accumulated rust. Several
powers have recognized the de facto
government and the elections soon to
be held will, 1t is predicted, confirm
the present regime. Even Villa has
ceased to be, for the time being. at
any rate, a disturbing influence.
The work of organizing and stsbil-
izing thesnew government continues,
showing some conservative tenden-
cies, notably by appointments to sec
retarial and diplomatic posts of many
old-timers trained in the Diaz regime.
This tendency also is seen in the
treasury department, where Alvar-
ado. despite his b~olshevistic reputa-
ton, is in consultation with conser-
vative financiers about the new bank
ing law. The mint is busy turning
out new fractional currency, which
is greatly needed.
1t really does not sound like news
from Mexico, and perhaps whole
hearted congratulations over Mexican
conversion of swords into pruning
hooks may judiciously be deferred a
little longer. The start has been
made, and some progress noted; but
the blood boils quickly in Latin-Amer-
lea. Carranza was acclaimed only to
be murdered; Madero-but why re-
vert to blood-stained history?
In due season Uncle Sam may in
clude Mexico's government in the list
of great and good friends, but not
just now.

LOS ANGELES QUAKE

Los Angeles. broadly speaking. has
had the best advertising of any city
in America. and, due to its climatic
conditions and the soil fertility of its
environs. coupled with publicity of
the right sort, 1t has made a gigantic
population stride during the past de-
cade, so that now 1t has crowded its
sister California city. San Francisco.
from its former place Of honor among
the first ten cities of the union.
\ To say that Los Angeles Is elated
is a mild expression to describe the
mental condition Of the city. Not
only are the people able to boast that
their city is tenth in size in the coun-
try, but, in addition, that 1t is larger
than San Francisco, of which Los An
geles in recent years have been ac-
customed to speak commiseratingly
as Of a place of frequent fogs and oc-
casional terrifying earthquakes.
But now Los Angeles itself has
been shaken by a seismic disturbance
and, strangely enough. the extent Of
the earthquake appears to have been
practically limited to Los Angeles
County, most of which has been in
cluded in the new and greater Los
Angeles of which southern California
poets rave and statisticians boast.
Just how the ingenious and ever
enterprising citizens of the southern
city will utilize the earthquake in
their community advertising is i'm
possible even to conjecture, but that
they will do so no one who knows the
southern Californian can have the
slightest doubt.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Fallon, New, June 23.-Residents
of saltwater, twenty miles from here,
were astonished when the Wheeler
Oil Syndicate drill released a tremen-
dous flow of boiling hot water which
spurted to a height of more than thir-
ty feet. The pressure behind the
flow varies, the maximum being
reached about every three minutes.
A great volume of water was released,
and the management of the Wheeler
Oil Syndicate entertains serious
doubts in regard to the best method
to pursue relative to taking care OF
the flow of the water, which, although
a phenomenon in its W right, pre-
sents certain puzzling aspects as a
hindrance to further drilling for oil.
This artesian hot water flow proves
conclusively that saltwater is located
within a great thermal belt, the area
of which is unknown. This town
was Churchill County's first seat Of
government and held undisputed first
place until the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject took shape and demanded a mu-
nicipality more centrally located.
Driller Freeman, in charge of the
Wheeler Oil Syndicate's drill, this
morning resumed the attempt to pass
the casing beyond the hot water flow.
