Boys will be boys" even though
they cannot help growing into mature
manhood and having greatness thrus,
upon them. But evidently some Of
these grown "boys" lost their abilities
OF performance even while their boast
ful prowress continues to develop. So
when Magnus Johnson came to Wash
ington as a senator from Minnesota
quiet little plan developed among
his friends to take some OF the con-
ceit out OF him. No less a person
than the secretary of agriculture ac-
cepted the senatorial challenge TO
race at milking common cows. In
the contest the presidents cabinet Of
licer from Iowa beat the Minnesota
senator by a pint. The senator com
planned the COW he operated on had
been MIXED before on the same day.
and so Secretary Wallace and Senator
Johnson MIXED the second race which
was called tie out OF consideration
for the Minnesota scion. Senator
Johnson admitted that he is "out for
practice" and Secretary Wallace jok-
ingly added that he had learned that
it was Mrs. Johnson. and not the
senator, who was the champion mixer
Of the family. Contests with cross
cut saws have been added to the SEN

Former Secretary OF the Interior AL

e latest news from the two men is
the effect that Mr. Fall gave his

here the personal integrity of cab

Backing Mexico

The United States Government has
sold a million dollars worth OF arms
to Mexico. and will likely see that
Obregon gets more help if he wants
it. The explanation of the admins
tration is that its action was in the
interest OF orderly procedure" For
many years the United States with
held recognition of Mexico. and il
was not until the Oregon government
gave ample evidence that il was
worthy and to be trusted that Uncle
Sam extended his friendly hama
across the Rio Grandc. Apparently
the Huertista crowd hold to the
old Mexican idea that revolution
is legitimate part of an election. and
IN the hopes OF embarrassing their
own government the senator's OF that
Huertista party have absented them
selves from the sessions of the two
claims conventions with the United |
States. The Mexican rebels are busy
labbering their protests. but they are
talking to deaf ears among the civil
zed governments of the world.

constantly denounced and deiied the

The last declaration. OF congress
with regard to the status OF the Phil
ippines was the passage OF the
Zones Law" on August %, 1910. The
preamble OF the law said: 1T is. as
it always has been. the purpose OF
the people OF the United States to
withdraw their sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands and to recognize
their independence as soon as a stable
government can be established there
in" An amendment to the act by
Senator Clark OF Arkansas gave COM
plete and unqualified independence to
the Philippines in from two to five
years. This amendment passed the
senate. was urged by President Will
son upon the house. but failed in that
branch of congress. Naturally. the
Filipinos were disappointed. but there
seemed no absence OF expression OF
congress to keep alive their hopes for
independence within few years. The
people of the Islands accepted the
situation gracefully. and matters
seemed to be working towards a def
mite solution until General Wood was
made Governor-General. With tact
less bluntncss he made it plan that the /
position of congress, the pledges of
administrations dating back to Nc
Kinley. and all that had gone before.
was indefinitely postponed. Then the
music began" At the present time
i seems to be the intent of congress
10 fix a definite status for the Philu-
pines. and TO this program the Ameri-
an investors and the 1000 Ameri-
ans living in the Philippines are ap-
parently willing to submit-though
With not very good grace The TO-
100000 Filipinos think that their ma
i've land is theirs to run. and they +
ave convinced nearly everyone but |
Governor Wood of their fitness for |
