NTPPEn N THE nUI,.

While it doesn't appear that It was
very formidable, the move of General
Blanco to cross the Rio Grande into
Mexico, with the indicated purpose Of
making trouble for the Onregon gov
ernmen and possibly sar a revolution was
quickly nipped in he bud.
The United States has long been made
the stamping ground of those dissatis-
fed Mexican elements bent upon ousting
the powers that be IN that country. More
than one revolution has sought and OBJ
tanned assistance from friends on tais
side Of the border, General Blsncos
efforts and movements appear to have
been pretty generally understood by the
Mexican government and no more effec-
tive manner of suppressing them could
have been undertaken.
Whether this was part of the Diaz
revolution that was recently predicted
for Mexico is not revealed. In the
country to the south there are those VINO
are far from reconciled to peace From
such it can be expected that more or
less agitation for trouble will come.
They are the kind that give encourage
ment to Just such move as Blanco and
his supporters are credited with. If
Oregon and his government can deal
as effectively with others as they have
with the leaders of this party they may
in time convince the trouble makers OF
the futility Of their preparations and
convince Mexicans that their best work
can be directed toward keeping tbs
country headed in the way Of progress
instead Of driving it backward through
revolutionary ta9tics.. While Obregor
seems to be doing good work in behalf
of paeifcation he knows well enough
the difficulties that lie in the way il
that country of substituting ballots -oI
bullets. Nevertheless with B1anco and

Grande he can take comfort in the re

the CHILD LABOR PROBLEM,

that would make possible the -egula-

He IS a believer in the checking Of
child labor and in view of the uncon-
stitutionality Of the child labor law he
believes the most effective way of deal
ing with the problem is through the
proposed amendment. He has submit
ted the amendment which he advocates
% President Harding.
While declaring himself as deeply in
terested in the question Of child labor,
the president in his reply to Congress
man Rogers has indicated that he was
not ready to commit himself to his pro-
posed legislation, but was planning tc
make statement to congress within a
short time upon this very matter.

Harding sends to congress because al

his views are. It might be expected
that he would be an opponent Of chiit

piorable condition eliminated. Severa
bills have been presented to congress

In THE PUBLIC EYE

Samuel W. Mccall, who is expected
to enter the Republican senatorial

ponent of the veteran Senator Henry

THE NEw CITY ADMINISTRATION.


At the opening of his administration
Mayor Waters is quoted as saying:
7 hone the new city administration
viii be just as good as the two previ-
Gus splendid administrations under Tim
Murphy and Bert Lerou. I viii do all
in ny power to give the city good adj
ministration and it will not be my fault
= i Is not satisfactory"
Those words have the right ring from
the head o. an administration that has
been put in charge of city affairs fos
the mkt two years. They are of course
spoken with sincerity, and each and
every citizen. regardless of party is de-
sirous Of seeing the city get the benefit
OF tust such leadership. 1t wants and
is entitled to the very best government
that can be provided, and as the rep
r-sentstives Of ths majority Of the peo-
pie. made up as It was of republicans
IS well as democrats, that duty rests up
on the shoulders Of the new city IA
Tiers.
Mayor Waters has taken no different
STAND than was 20 be expected. He is
mayor OF the city, and not a part of It,
ard he recognizes his responsibilities. 1t
IS to be earnestly hoped that he sue
ceeds.
A structure depends to vital degree
upon its foundation. Within a few days
there viii be an opportunity for the
citizens TO judge how well the new ad-
ministration IS laying It's foundations
Much depends not only upon the court
Of common council but upon the heads

there must be attention paid to past

There Is no excuse for the repetition o

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Watching the Democrats.


Mr.. Editor: There is no need for me
to point out that we have had an cleo
ton, but now that the democrats have
won such a smashing victory am keen
ly interested In seeing what they are GO
ing to make of it. If I am correctly in
formed there is a movement to return
to the office of street commissioner, g.
former incumbent, James Fox, whose ef-
forts at wrestling with that important
job were not much better than a joke
in the past and one Of his big handicap&
of the administration that presented him.
In view of the Fox record in the Des-
mond administration, can the citizens
look for nothing better from the demo-
Gratis than his return to that position2
Are we going to be asked to look for
ward to and be satisfied with such an
administration for the next two years?
