Mexico's Election.

Mexico conducted presidential
election yesterday, the candidates
being Plutarco Elias Gales and Angel
was orderly throughout the country.
No outbreaks of any consequence have
been reported. and it would seem that
for the first time in very long period
the southern neighbo"ing republic has
carried through a procedure of elee.
ton without interference and without
disturbance.
1t will be some days before the re-
suit of the election is known, mas
much as under the system in Mexico
the ballot boxes are sealed and sent
to the capital, where they are opened
in the presence Of the congress and
the votes are counted. Thus the Mexi-
can system differs from that In the
United States. where the initial ballots
are counted in the precincts and the
results may be known in a few hours
after the closing Of the polls. Here
only the electoral votes are sent sealed
known many weeks before they are
opened.
II Mexico has succeeded in conduct
ing an orderly election and if the
choice of the majority is accepted
without reaction a great gain will have
been made toward stability in that
country. President Obregon took Office
as a result of a successful revolution
after a series of usurpations running
back to the days of the decline Of Por-
firio Diaz. Actually this election Of
yesterday is the first full. free exercise
of the suffrage on the presidency in
Mexico in a generation. The people
of this country hope that it will prove
TO be the beginning Of orderly demo-
cratic government in the sister repub-
lie to the south.

1t has saved the community in low

cost Of the councils organization and
activity.
Even if the traffic police force were
greatly increased. to the point Of as.
surins a more thorough enforcement
Of the traffic rules through arrests
and punishments, there would remain
the need Of education. 1t is the func.
tion OF the police mainly to assure
punishment for infractions, or by
menacing presence to compel observ-
ance of the rules in the streets. Real
safety work, however, depends upon
the instruction Of all street users, not
only in the nature of the rules, but
the necessity and wisdom Of a whole
hearted, universal observance Of them.
The police cannot carry on such edu-
cational work. That must be done
through such an unofficial agency as
the safety council.

The Presidents Son.

The earnest prayers Of the people
OF this city and of the whole country
are given for the recovery of Presi
dent Coolidge's younger son, who lies
in dangerous illness at Walter Reed
Hospital. The lad has won the af
fection of the Capital by his modest
manly demeanor. 1t was with a shock
that it was learned the other day tina,
as result Of exercise he had suffered
from an accidental infection that
spreading swiftly, menaced his life
Although the latest reports are grave
and indicate the possibility of death
there is still hope that he will be
spared and that his parents, so deeply
grieved and concerned for their son
will be speedily relieved of their
anxiety.

Personal Taxes.

The District tax assessor issues an
other warning. Warnings from the
tax assessor have become numerous,
but they are made TO help us. The as
SCISSOR is not responsible for our tax
load, and taxes must be paid by those
vino owe them. Our ancestors used to
say that nothing is certain but death
and taxes" which shows that our an
cestors knew something about taxes
and did not wholly like them.
The present warning is in the mat
ter Of personal taxes. They are not as
plea SAINT as other taxes might be, but
those who have taxable personally
cannot escape, or at least they should
not be allowed to escape. Not to heed
the warning of the tax assessor will
cost money. This warning is not that
we shall pay the taxes, but that we
shall file the tax return in July. II
the blank form is not filled and sent to
penalty of 20 per cent of the assess.
ment will be added to the bill The
bill is not payable until next Novem-
ber. but the tax Feturn must be filed
this month. The wise and thrifty person
will take notice and get busy. The law
is that every person owning an auto
mobile on July must file a personal
tax return. The law also puts a tax
on household furnishings in excess of
81 900. all jewelry except watches, and
on live stock and vehicles OF every de-
scription. That part of the personal
tax called the intangible tax applies
to stocks, bonds and securities in gen
eral.

ATOMS
BY JOHN CARLYLE.

If YOU are minded to disregard the
Importance of little things, behold
the atom.
You have said that somebody or
other hasn't an atom of sense. That
isn't a good figure of speech when
YOU analyze it. An atom is an inn
mensely complex and wonderful
thing.
To be sure, an atom is rather small.
The number of atoms on the top sur
face of the head of pin is estimated
TO be more than two quadrillions
But the smallness of the atom
doesn't prevent its useful activity
and il doesn't prevent the parts
which compose it from having
speed that makes the movement OF
the earth seem slow.
All honor to Niels Bohr, a Dane.
Prof. Bohr belongs TO the University
of Copenhagen. The university ana
the Danish nation may well be proud
of Bohr. He has told us more about
what matter is made of than anybod!
ever knew before in the world.
Matter is composed of these I'M
spaces in between. 50 that nuCn ~
that seems matter is merely space III
between countless atoms.
But the most interesting thlnS
about matter that the wise Mr.. Bohr
has TO tell the world is not just tnat
atoms make up matter. Inc most
interesting thing is the constructor
and habits of the atom itself FOR,
small as it is, it has a oehnlte plan
of being and action. In that way le
is superior to many humans.
Every atom is a little solar system
after the fashion of the universe,
with it's sun and the planets which
ubirl around il on fixed courses.
In every atom is a central nucleus
and around this central nucleus re-
volye "electrons." In some atoms
there are few electrons revolving
around the central nucleus and in
other atoms there are many. In
other words. some atoms are more
complex than others.
Fancy a body moving at speed OF
20 900 miles an hour? Yet this is
what an electron is estimated to be
able to do.
1t isn't strange, is it, that man in
his healthy state is full OF energy
We are creatures of speed and
activity One scientist says man Is
"maze of motion"
We are just beginning to learn
something of the real wonders of
life and the world in which we live.
u When we know more we shall be
seized with an ambition to do more.

The Round-World FLYERS,

On the 18th Of March four Ameri.
can aviators left Santa Monica, Calf.
to fly around the world. One of them
crashed plane against mountainside
in Alaska and was compelled to quit
the great race against time. The others
went on and now are at Karachi.
India, where they are installing new
motors in their planes. They have
flown 1876 miles, or more than half
Of their journey around the world.
To complete the circuit of the earth
by air they have still to fly 1875
miles. The elapsed time of their
fight to date is Ill days. The remain.
ing fight, however. is not likely to
require as long a period, inasmuch
as after few more hops they will
be in Europe. where they will meet
easier conditions. They are, indeed.
over the worst of their journey, save
for the final fight across the At.
lantic.
This round-world flight cannot def.
initely prove any point Of value. 1t
would, of course, be a great satisfac.
ton to the American people if their
representatives succeed in circling the
globe by air, especially if they do 80
in shorter time than the flyers OF
other nationalities who are working
their way around in a contrary direc.
ton. But a round-world flight that
lasts, say, 200 days, as this seems
likely to last, is not a demonstration
of speed. 1t may develop possibilities
for future advance. All such enter.
prises are relative. The first achieve.
ments are experimental. In this par.
ticular case what is mainly being
learned is the practicability of landing
points. Until those landing points can
be placed at greater distances and
plane repair facilities established real
rapid flight around the world is not
to be expected.

Murder of American in China
Shows Need of Protection

when they run between men and peo-
pies Of common ideals"
THE scene has perhaps a little of
the kipling mayor. but it must have
York Herald Tribune. for ''in the
land where piracy, banditry and kid
naping are all recognized industries
something of the sort is necessary"
Furthermore, prestige is essential in
the complicated trade relation of
China, and Americans in China are
protesting that it is impossible for
them to carry on their business with
out better protection than is now
Springfield Republican feels that
possibly so extreme an application
OF corporate responsibility fits the
far east better than it would our
own country, yet in China's present
state of temper there may be danger
that such reprisals will have the op-
posite of the intended effect; more
over, such measures can bring no
permanent solution" and lit may be
position of naval officers to infiict re-
prisals for crimes which result from,
a malady too serious and too compli-
Gated to be cured by a local use of
force"
Washington should demand that
Americans peacefully pursuing lesit-
innate activities in China be given
protection against bandits and busi-
ness rivals" the Newark News de-
clares, but I'VE should not go as did
the commander Of the British gun
boat" for that was illegal and un-
warranted, and the United States
should not support such an action.
but we should tell Peking in lam
guage that will be understood that
If the government there does not
show itself strong enough to sup
press banditry and protect our ma
tionals, then America will refuse
longer to recognize Peking rule
that would bring Peking to terms or
result in the fall of that heepIess
regime, which has been able to main
tain itself only by reason of its rec
ognition by foreign powers The
New York Sun nevertheless suggests is
that "a foreign gunboat is one thing
that Chinese bandits and pirates re-
spect and that will move Chinese
officials to action" and since there
is no security for Americans in the
interior provinces, the only course
appears to bring them under the pro-
lection of foreign war vessels on the
Chinese coast" Discussing the pro-
lection of the British flag, the Seattle
Times finds 1t "a mattera Of consid :
erable satisfaction that the govern
ment OF the United States has adopt
ed more vigorous policy in recent
years than formerly" because there
is a determination on the part of our
government to give force and effect
to the doctrine that the protection of
the Stars and Stripes goes with every
American citizen engaged in lawful
business everywhere on earth"

Recognition of Russia.
Ends French Foreign Policies
Dominated by Emigres.

The decision of the French govern
ment to recognize Russia marks the
end of the domination of French
foreign policy by Russian emigres.
The argument Of the emigre has been
that until the old regime was re-
stored in Russia it would be useless
to attempt to obtain settlement of
the Russian debt to France or to
hope that any part Of the value of
Russian bonds held in France might
be salvaged.
But it is now obvious. and has been
for some time, that the old regime
is not coming back. or at least is
going to take so long about it that the
event isn't worth waiting for II
France is to realize anything out of
Russia in the near future. either in
the way of money on account or in
the way of trade, France must deal
with the soviet government. Whether
she is lik ely to fare better by nego-
tiating in regard to the debts before
or after recognition is a question on
which even the representatives of
French Industries were discovered by
M. Herriot to be divided.
That is only a matter of method.
From any realistic view, recognition
itself is inevitable. The new regime
in France is properly looking after
the interests of the French people.-

and, of course, capable pilots, with

Washington would then be without

save through official delegates. 1t

activities for safety work.
Inasmuch as in many respects
Washington has been the pioneer in

desirable that the November meeting

But the reasons for continuing the
safety council are more practical than
the natural desire to be represented
at the November conference. This
agency has undoubtedly effected re-
suits. 1t has reduced the number Of
casualties through persistent educa-
tional effort for better driving. 1t has
provided means of security in the
