FOR PARTISAN WORK.

The House OF Representatives al
Washington has taken a recess until
Monday. August Is. under the pre-
text there was nothing to hold the
House while the Senate is wrestling
with tho Tariff bill. But the real
reason was TO allow time for the ma
jority members who are seeking re-
election TO go home and look after
their political fences. which have been
sadly shattered by the unsavory rec
ord of the Congress
Before adjournment. Floor Leader
Mondell made an unsuccessful at
tempt TO secure permission for MEM
bers 10 load the Congressional Record
with pages OF undelivered speeches on
Legislative topics, but objection by a
| Democratic member checked this par
tisan scheme and thus saved a con-
siderable expenditure. Mr.. Mondell
also delivered a fiery attack upon the
many newspapers that have indulged
I'm severe criticism OF this do-noth-
ing Congress. and claimed II had done
n remarkable work in saving money
10 the people.
II will be difficult. however for Mfr
Mondell or any other Republican par
tisan TO convince the people that Con-
gress has done anything in this d.
rection. They find themselves bur.
dened by war taxes TO an unwarrant.
able extent. and they see prices en-.
hanced by the Emergency Tariff Law
going higher by the imminent threa
OF the Fordney- McCumber Tariff bill
with its sdn heavier price-raisint
rates.
Senator McCnmbcr, who leads Tn,
fight 1n the Senate for this latest hiEl
tariff imposition, has been repudiate,
by the Republican voters OF Nortl
Dakota. He Will not sit IN the mex
Congress. Neither will many othe
Republican members Of both Hous
and Senate after the people have thei
say IN November.

BIG STICK OUT OF SEASON.

Secretary Hughes knows that no
United States cruiser can climb Mexi-
cos mountains or travel Its desert
trails. A glance at the map reveals
that Cuernavaca is n long way from
the coast and with the release Of
Belaskl 1t also reveals that the Prov
inces of Tamaulipas and Vera Cruz
are not navigable waters.
A threat that the Navy Department
may send a force to Mexico Is not a
threat against the outlaws who have
been holding Americans for ransom,
but against the Obregon Government.
II the State Department will keep
cool and let ita vision clear 1t must
see that nothing is to be accomplished
toward "puniehing the perpetrators of
this outrage" by undermining the au-
thority of the Obregon Government.
Criminals are not always brought to
time, in the United States or in Mexi-
CO. within stated number of hours
We do not need to look further from
home than Southern Illinois for an in
stance where forty Americans came
to death or serious harm and nothing
has been done To punish the perpetra-
| tors OF the outrage under our own en-
| forcement OF tho law.
| Mexican bandits arc not concerned
with strengthening the hande of the
| Obregon Government or making easier
Its path to the maintenance of peaC,
and order. 1t does not need to be tol,
that they would prosper by its over
throw and the relapse OF the country
into n state of anarchy. For the Obre

ment Mexico has had since the col

OFFICIAL CRUELTY TO CHILD,

Is there no way Of Knocking a little

whore she was born. Tho parents are
Armeninns who came hither 10 live
with their son, who fought under the
American flag in the war. But the Of
ficials decided. and were sustained in
their decision by a justice OF the
United States District Court, that the
girl is Turk, and 40 must be excluded
because the Turkish quota had been
exceeded under the immigration law.
Admitting the soundness OF this in
depreciation OF the law, the fact re-
mains that the case was one IN which

overlooked.
II Is difficult to understand whv the
Department OF Labor did not enter

WI TING-FANG.

The death at Canton OF Wa Ting
Fang, Chinese diplomat. reformer
and publicist, brings 10 an end one
OF the most brilliant careers in
Chinese public life. Wu was, above
all things, an oriental with an open
mind. Intensely patriotic. his pa
triotism was at times construed as
too strongly Favored with foreign
notions, but he had the great ad-
vantage of seeing China from the out
side, both during much OF his stu
dent days. and later, when he was in
trusted with important foreign inie-
sions, and he sought TO build up China
as a world power. lie saw that she
must either submit to exploitation OF

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

The threatened strike Of the railroad
shopmen came off at the announced
hour, Saturday morning, and is now
under way. How many men went out
is a mooted question. as detailed re-
ports for every important railroad
centre differ materially. but there
seems TO be no doubt that at least
100000 responded 10 the call to quit
work as a protest against a proposed
reduction in wages.
Unless heartily supported by other
divisions OF railway labor, it is not
expected this strike will prove sue
cessful. In the first place, It lacks
the support Of public sympathy, with
out which no labor revolt can achievy

END OF A FREAK MAYOR

The country became well acquainted
with Mayor George L. Oles Of Youngs-
town, Ohio, who was elected last fall
after a short, but very interesting
campaign He Was a newcomer TO the
city, and made extravaKent promises
Of the reforms he would inaugurate in
the event OF his election--curfew reg
ulation. enforcement OF al laws to the
letter, and a lot more. The women be-
ueved him. and their almost solid
support brought about his election.
But as chief executive Of the city
Oles soon proved a monumental fail
ure. He had little real capacity, and his
reform efforts become ridiculous and
offensive. Finally. petition was pre-
pared and signed, asking the governor
20 remove him from office on charges
Of non-residence, incompetence and
graft. The latter charge may not have
/ been true. but the entire proceeding
! ALARMED the mayor and he decided tc
resign. For one thing, he has consider.
