Down in Mexico things have not been

CarranZa and his chief lieutenants in
the autocratic government they have
been able to maintain for several years

rama himself was trusting to the length
of his legs to reach the mountain fast
nesses in an effort to save his bacon.
All of which makes interesting reading
in these days of profiteering by the
print paper mills and paper jobbers,
but there is no reason why it should be
of special concern to this country-cer-
tainly not to the extent of the United
States becoming embrOiled in the row.
If the MeXicans prefer to slit each
others throat or to pump lead one into
the other. it's as plan AZ the whiskers
on Carranza's face that that's their
business. Conditions in Mexico today
are little if any worse than the have
been for the last decade. Always down
there it is a case of the outs trying to
get in and the ins busying themselves
to keep from being put out. The Mex
leans are all of n kidney, and nobody
has yet discovered process by which
material for silk purse can be made
from sow's ear. The only excuse the
United States could have for interf,r
ing in behalf of either faction in Mexico
would be to protect the property of her
nationals in that country which would
be worse than no excuse at all. Amer
leans who have invested money in Mex
leo did so with their eyes open, taking
the gamblers chance. If they were
too stupid too see that it was a land of
highbinders, they are to be pitied, but
it is too much to expect the lives of
American soldiers to be sacrificed to
save them from financial loss. At best
Mexico is bad country. The trout .

A news story published in the press
within the last two or three days in
forms the public that the military de-
partment of the State government has
arranged to hold the annual encamp-
ment of the State troops at Mount
Pleasant, near Charleston. The thing
that will strike the average citizen as
peculiar about this encampment is that
it will be an encampment minus troops,
for there are not handful of men en-
listed in the military organization OF
South Carolina. 1t is about time for
the people of South Carolina to call a
halt to this useless and expensive opera
boutfe, got up largely to afford some
body the opportunity to strut around
i'll the uniform of an officer and order
his betters about.

June Brides,
Music and
Orange Blossoms
Pathe Phonograph Gift Most
Charming for New Home

In the spring the young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love, so
sang the poets ages ago, and the senti-
ment is just as real in the glorious
awakening of 1920. when the fancy
turns to June brides, orange blossoms.
sweet songs of birds and the heavenly
rapture of music.
The universal appeal of good music
was never so much in evidence as now,
and the average home would be n
cheerless place were it not for the in
huence of melody in one form or an
other.
In this connection no factor has been
so great in supplying the craving for
music as the photograph. which has
made it possible to hear the grand
voices of the most gifted artists of the
opera and dramatic stage in every
household.
The supremely beautiful music of the
Pathe, which duplicates the voices of
the great singers and instrumental num-
bers of the famous bands and orches-
tras, has placed it i'm a class by itself,
and its possession will add to the hap
piness of the bride. and at the same
time prove a rich ornament to the fur
niture of the home.-Adv.

Lowden and Harding Out.

The results in Indiana will be in
dicated in greater detail by the latest

with reports from California still lack

least sufficient to support the i'm

gard to Lowden and Harding. II Wood
and johnson are to create deadlock
in which the Republican nomination
must go to some ether, there will be
no sanction for fixing upon either Low
den or Harding and to do so would be
dangerous. They have been contestants
before the people OF various states and
while they have won some support
they have even more notably been re-
jeoted The successful dark horse. II
dark horse Il to carry off the PRIZE,
must be one who has been content to
make the race in that waiting role
rather than to make a wholly unsuc-
cessful bid for leading position before

The Indiana vote apparently tends
to the further development of a stu
alton in which the chances of the dark
horses have been mounting in the opin-
ion of the political bookmakers. For
example, while the prospects of Gov.

Return of the Barefoot Boy.
an thee little man.

Blessings on tnee, uUtle man,
Barefoot boy with cheek of tam
These lines, beginning the poem of
'The Barefoot Boy" were familiar to
school bows of Boston a half century
ago, for the poem was included in
one of Hillard's Readers that were then
used as text books in the public
schools.
The barefoot boy was no unusual
sight in the middle of the 10th cen
fury in America. In summer children
of the poor even in the /cdties went
without shoes, and in the country chill
dren of prosperous farmers went bare
foot in warm weather. Travellers in
Europe in the seventies and eighties
noted the large number of people that
went shoeless. In Ireland and in large
cities of England and Scotland there
were many thousands that went bare
foot for lack Of shoes. In Liverpool
the American traveller would be struck
by the large number of poor, ragged
boys selling matches, backing boots,
sweeping crossings, singing in front
of public houses, or turning hand
springs in the street in trying to earn
a living. and hardly one Of them would
have a pair OF shoes at any time from
MAY to November.
The coming OF cheap shoes made by
American machinery caused the bare
foot boy TO become almost extinct in
America. and we came TO think of a
barefoot person as a disciple of Father
Kneipp. who started a cult Of this prac-
tice for preservation OF the health. The
three dollar shoes were extensively
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1920-05-07

advertised, and there seemed to be no
need for anybody TO go barefoot.
The rapid rise of prices of shoes rs
almost certain to bring back the bare
foot boys and girls, although the mon
ey formerly spent at the saloon may
new be saved for the children. Labor
ing men have had their pay raised as
fast If not faster than other classes,
but a poor widow with children to
clothe will encounter difficult task IN
buying shoes for the children, For lack
of money to pay five dollars pair for
chiIdrenis shoes she may have to let the
youngsters go barefoot,
Shoe manufacturers cannot be
blamed for charging for stylish shoes
whatever the public is willing to pay,
but there il chance ITO combine phii-
anthropy with profit for the man that
can make and sell serviceab.e pair OF
shoes at moderate price Boston

California and Hoover.

Where does the California primary
leave Mr.. Hoover? 1t is not easy to
saw. Johnson's great plurality is in
concrete figures and cannot be ex.
planned away 1t cannot be denied
that the California Republicans "exer-
cising their sovereign right at the bal
lot box as the stump orator loves to
put it, have named johnson as their
Overwhelming choice. 1t does not ap.
pear that Johnson's campaign, either IN
methods or associations, was that OF
the simon pure reformer some persons
had once imagined him to be. But
plurality such as johnson has obtained
could not be annulled on suspicion,
moral certainty" or anything short OF
legal proof of corruption. The john
son machine may have operated IN
fragrant defiance of civil service re-
form--but the vote stands as the voice
of great majority.
If johnson by capitali2ing all pres
ent discomfort and unrest is to black
lack the Republicans into accepting
him at Chicago, which is the way in
which the conservative element views
his efforts, his California victory is an
important episode. But If his nomina-
ton at Chicago is utterly impossible,
as Mr.. Taft has declared, the ques.
tion becomes double one. First, will
Johnsou's vote tempt him to bolt I
Second. what is the value OF the more
than 100000, votes cast for Hoover as
the result of an amateur campaign, or
ganized with less than a 10th OF the
finances supplied to johnson and with
out a hearing in the press of the great
or part of the state?
Fear of a bolt on Johnson's part
has been increasing But beyond
certain point all discussion of it is idle
speculation. On the other hand, is the
kind Of campaign which has been
conducted for Mr.. Hoover accumulating
moral strength for himf There is some
hope that ii is, although the prospects
now are that he will be without
single openly committed delegate when
the convention meets. The Hoover
campaign, much as il has irked of the
workers eager to attempt more prac-
teal methods, seems to have been con-
Quoted as Mr.. Hoover has rigidly in
sisted it should be. II runs true to his
character. Those who believe him pre-
eminently fitted to lead the nation in
this extraordinary time should not yet
despair. Some of them have an in
tuitive faith that in the end, because
he is the best fitted, the convention
will turn to him. 1t is not impos-
sible, even after the California pri-
mary. Springfield Republican.
