In humiliation. although the events
that followed so quickly on the ex-
posure Of the plan, have prevented It's

Despite the deniais that are coming
from the several quarters where the
blame for this phpt has been laid, the
honest citizcns throughout our State
refuse to give the explanation cre-
dence. The voice ri the Democf attic
voters asks why United States gen-
ator Josiah O. woicott ever gave the
slightest consideration To a plan that
covered 40 lightly the political plot

not have been duped. unless his close
party friends betrayed him. but even

As To the others 50 prominently
mentioned there is keen surprise ex-
pressed toward our Governor and the
unfortunate light this has directed

found the expressions Of surprise and

favorable impression that this blow

THE GUy-PACKERs.

The problems of what 70 do with
the pistoI-toter mas not been solved in
Kentucky. The court of appeals Of
that State has held that the Ken
tucky statute depriving hmm of his
franchise rights is unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court of the United
States would not unlikely affirm this
decision.
Pistoi-toting may not be uuconsti-
tufional, but it is incompa Gble with the
constitutional guarantees TO every citi-
zen OF life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. The pisbol-toter is a
menace to peace and security.

TO CHEcK RADICALIsM.

President Obregon has adopted the
right course in Mexico by issuing a
circular to the governors Of states re-
a,,r@tinQ that all means and measures
be adopted to prevent demonstrations
of serious nature by boIshevists.
This presidential notice Of what is
being regar3pS1 AZ a serious menace
demonstrates the truth of recent re-
ports that bolshevisn is making a de-
termined effort to gain A real foot
hold ia Mexico.
nexlco's president mentions specific
outrages, including the radical in
vasion of the chamber of deputies, as
evidences Of Aggressiyeness on the
part of the bolshevists and declares
that he has felt called upon to define
his attitude.
Incidents Of the past few months
can not be repeated, much less allow
ed 10 go unpublished he says. Bolshe-
visit naxs can not be displayed any
where and the expulsion OF twenty
radical leaders is directed Governors
Of states are ordered to proceed
against those who have fiagTantiy
violated the Law.
Unquestionably the security OF the
present Mexican government is mem
aced by the spread Of radicalism in a
country where the people are easily
persuaded TO defy the authorities.
President obregon's action does not
come too soon. Tnasmuch as he has
shown himself TO be a man of action.

Admiral Sims. he OF the indiscreei

Americans Of Irish descent. Said the
Admiral. according to press dispatches
