Every Man His Own Bandit

1T is known on good authority"
telegraphs The Calls" correspond
ent from Mexico City, that Bic
laski captured himself"
Thus is the mystery solved. All
foreigners in Mexico are in reality
bandits, and all are capturing
themselves to spite Obregon and 70
help the wicked oil interests.
This explanation is so simple that
II is surprising it has not heretofore
been perceived. Stupid persons
have assumed that the bandittl
around Tampico, denied customary
subventions from the oil operators,
had taken to kidnapping as a gentle
reminder that they could use little
spare cash. True, as Don MARQUIS
pointed out, the ransoms that they
demanded were such as to make
them appear as amateurs compared
TO their New York brethren in
search Of pin money. But then,
the gentle art of banditry is prac
ticed in Mexico with a refinement
unknown in our more materialistic
atmosphere, and it is notorious
fact that Mexicans do not value
American citizens as highly as We
do here
OF course the wicked interests
are socely mortified to have their
plans thus unmasked and it is to be
expected that they will now give or
ders to all those Americans who
have captured themselves to restore
themselves to liberty without ben
efit Of ransom. From Palm Beach
to Tampico the distance is not great,
. and we could lend our Mayor to as
sist in the unmasking.
In the mean time, however. Mr.
Obregon will doubtless continue to
scour the underbrush so that he At

McCurlber's Defeat

One clear conclusion is to be dra wn
from Senator McCumbcr's defeat.
That is that the North Dakota Re
publican voters were not favorably
impressed by his bonus and tariff
campaigns at. Washington. He
banked heavily on tha double fight
he was leading in the Senate and
lost.
Circumstances seemed to favor the
Senator. North Dakota had never
before furnished Senate Finance
Committee chairman. Mr.. McCun-
bcr was in unique position to serve
the interests and to appeal to the
pride Of his constituency. If Nortl
Dakota had the passage Of the tariff
bill and of the bonus bill at heart, as
he assumed it had, his victory should
have been easy. His failure is mani
fcstly a severe setback to both meas
ures. His opl oncnt, even though
friendly to these two bills, could not
take his seat until March next, and
would have to serve many years be-
fore attaining anything like Mr.. Nc
Cumber's prestige. Why should
North Dakota sacrifice a veteran for
q newcomer?
North Dakota is a high tariff
state. It's farmers grow hard win
ter wheat, in competition with the
Canadian farmers, and are visibly
protected by wheat duty. They
can Sc the effects Of the duty every
time they compare the Minneapolis
and the Winnipeg quotations. The
American Legion is also strong in
the state. If its voters wanted to
sec bonus bill enacted at this ses-
sion their first impulse would have
been to hold UP the hands of one Of
the most conspicuous and persistent
bonus champions in Congress.
The North Dakotans could not see
it that way, however. They put the
tariff and the bonus issues aside and
divided on other lines, just as the
people Of most Of the other primary
states have done. The voters have
been little affected by artificial
clamor about the Capitol for tariff
revision at once and q bonus at
once. Representatives and Senators,
standing for renominat ton, sci2ed on
these two facts as lifc-savers at the
polls; but they grossly misjudged
home sentiment. The folks back
home are not excited abou. the tariff
or the bonus.
Mr.. McCumber has learned this.
Other Senators who test home feel
ing will learn it. The time is not
ripe for a permanent tariff revision
or for the adjustment Of the claims
Of nondisa abled soldiers. If the Sen
ate reads the signs of the primaries
Alright it will soon be as eager as the
House to drop non-essential legisla-
ton and adjourn

Architects and Open Shop
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference to the discussion
on architects and the open shop, the
open shop" already prevails among
architects and other professional men
almost as far as such principle can
apply. The various architectural So
cietics endeavor to keep charges up
to a certain standard, because other
wise the scale of living. the quality
Of service and the interests of the
owner all deteriorate together. If the
remuneration is too low and precarious
the best men will not enter the pro-
and the public, the real consumer Of
the architects products, suffers.
But there is this radical difference
between the methods Of the architects
and the trade unions: The former
have no means Of enforcing their scale
Of charges, which really amount to
little more than recommendations.
Their societies might expel member
for price cutting, but do not re-
member an instance Of this being
done. They have no strikes, lock-
outs, walking delegates or any such
machinery. The pressure they can
bring to bear on their membership
is effective to certain extent, but
does not prevent price cutting, al
though this is to the disadvantage Of
them all and usually to the disadvan-
tage of the owner.
Can you imagine the church archi-
tects and the naval architects going
out on a sympathetic strike because
some one employs landscape archi-
tect who is not a member Of the

railroads found it impossible to pack
more in the cars.
On the roads leading out of the
city the automobile pilgrimage to the
great outdoors had already begun.
To-day there will be traffic conges-
tion on every highway between New
York and desirable places for brief
vacations.
Such volume of purely pleasure
travel is an unmistakable indication
Of prosperity. These throngs do not
consist Of the people William j..
Bryan styles the idle rich.' Such
are already in their summer places
having been able to 60 early and
avoid the rush.

A Year for BaIlyhoo

The prospect CT more than a mil.
hon dollars gate receipts has so de-
creased the visibility of the color
line that Mr.. Dempsey can now see
no objection to fighting Mr.. Wills
in the prize ring.
The fight will not be staged. how
ever, till next summer. That will
provide year for his managers to
work up the public to such a pitch
of enthusiasm for a two-man race
war that they will thyong to New
York or wherever the battle is to
be held and pay from $50 up for
the privilege of witnessing it.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Dempsey's trips
to Europe, with interviews at each
end of the line, will be matched bv
similar excursions on the part of
Mr.. Wills.
Both gentlemen will be asked to
write pieces for the papers, to be
filmed for the movie" news reels and
to appear on the stage, in order that
there shall be no chance of either's
slipping for one instant out of the
public mind.
Without doubt Mr.. George Ber
nard Shaw will lay aside his philo-
sophlcal researches for a time and
aid in the work of publicity. He
has been an unpaid but highly val
liable advertising agent for prize
hghters for a number of years.
Two months before the encounter
the principals, surrounded by pha-
lanXes of trainers, sparring partners
ard camp assistants, will be en-
sconced in training camps, where
they*will receive whosoeHer NAV care
to view their state of preparedness
Tor an admission fee, which will help
to swell the profits to be reaped bv
themselves and their managers.
In the old days a prizefpht was
matter Of speedy arrangement. As
rule the participants usually hated
each other and did all manner of
unbridled clustering without the as
slstance of publicity experts. Now
they thriftily put themselves into
the hands of their managers and
agree to fight anybody the managers
think will help them to the biggest
gate" 1t has been tounyl safer to
pay professional writer's to do their
talking for them and to edit even
their casual utterances.
There will, of course, be much
said about Mr.. Demnsey's mag
nanimity in q 49,
