AGAIN, RIGHT PREVAILS

Well, the forces for right and decency have won
again and Mexcai must continue to stagger through
strikes the fateful hour of nine each night.
After exhaustive study and detailed investigation,
the United States treasury department has decided
that is for the best welfare Of the greatest number
that the border should continue close Tijuana and
Mexical at nine o'clock, it has been doing for the
past year. And after ALL it's the thing that will
vert to the most good for the most people that should
always be considered, and not what selfish handful
may seek for their own personal gain.
The attitude of many of the valleys most proml-
nent people and influential organizations this mat
ter thoroughly evidenced year ago, when after
long bitter battle the nine o'clock closing order
clamped by the United States government. The
border interests submitted with what good grace they
could muster, but it not long before there were
ominous rumblings and rumors of rumors The under
world finding it hard shedding and some of the
more notorious places forced to close their
doors. Then some of CaeXcos prominent citizens
became converted TO the theory that they suffer-
ing great business losses, although how this theory
could be justified when of the stores in Caexico
are open business after nine o'clock at night has
been difficult to understand An appeal was made to
Washington by the Calexico Chamber of Commerce to
rescind the early closing hour and the United States
treasury department. in effort to be fair and impair
tal, has been conducting a quiet investigation Tor
weeks into conditions along the border, to see II the
Calexico plea warranted.
Evidently Uncle Sam has found out enough TO con-
vince him that the best interests of the majority VIII
be served by refusing to let down the bars ana keep
the border open all night. 49,
CONGRESSMAN Swing has waged relentless fight
for the retention of present conditions and deserves
the appreciation of all who interested In keeping
the valley as free as possible from this border menace
And again reiterate, as we have done many
times in these columns, that it is not the MeXlcanS
themselves who have brought about this scourge at our
very gates but Americans who have crossed the lhe
and set up their evil Institutions anxious TO prey upon
their pullible brethen, despisng the STANDARDS Oh
American decency and lining their pockets with goIo
at the cost Of their felloWmen souls.

OUR OWN GEORGE

Tomorrow is the l93rd anniversary of George

Washington has become a heroic figure-a sort
of god.
So much have we ideaized him we forget at

An $1S,000,000 crop of spring
lambs, the greatest in the histol y

of the state, is what favorable
weather, normal rainfall and good
feed has brought to thes heep grow

POSTAL WORKERS
PRODDED BY NEW
Increased Efficiency Is De-
manded and IncompetentS
Will Be Dropped.

Postal workers were appealed TO
today by Postmaster General New TO
increase their efficiency at least
per cent and at the same time were
given warning that incompetent men
would be dropped from the service.
Now that employees have received
an Increase in salary, the Postmaster
General believes they should make
their work a little more efectual.
Increased efficiency would, in the ag-
gregate, amount to a large sum OF
money, officials declare.
Postmasters were told that eacn
clerk on the average now represents
about $1,000 in revenue and carriers
$4,000 and they were asked how
their STATS rate with those averages.
Detailed methods whereby improve
ments might be made were outlined.
Results on a basis of efficiency do
not always depend upon each man
doing more work, although it is de-
sired that each shall give to his gov
ernment a full and honest day s
work." postmasters were told. But
results depend great deal on there
being no waste-neither waste of en-
ergy, steps or. other things which re-
suit in waste of time and therefore
money"
The Postmaster General will call
for reports later to determine what
progress has been made.

MACMILLAN TO HUNT MORSE RUINS
100 MILES INLAND IN GREENLAND
Eskimos Stories Credited by Explorer in Planning
Expedition - Third Plane May Be
Used on Polar Trip.

Stories told by Eskimos of the ex
istence about 100 miles inland from
the southwest coast of Greenland of
old ruins believed to be the remains
of Morse settlements, establishd
about or before 100 A. D., will BE-
investigated by the Macmillan Arctic
expedition under the auspices of the
National Geographic Society on its
way northward, the society was in
formed today by Macmillan, who
gave a tentative itinerary of the
trip.
When it leaves Wiscasset. Me, in
June for the Northland, the New
foundland fishing steamer will move
up TO the coast of Newfoundland, TO
Labrador and thence across the Davis
Strait to Julianehaab, about so or
100 miles north of Cape Farewell, on
the west coast of Greenland, and q
where the world flyers put in after
their S00-mile. flight from Iceland.
Explorers Credit Eskimos.
The explorers will push inland to
make thorough investigation OF
the reports which Macmillan and
other explorers have received from
the Eskimos, and in which they
place much credence Whether OF
ments are found, when the ship puts
to sea again a second stop will be
made farther up the coast at Godt-
haab, where another investigation will
be made.
Macmillan also revealed in his ten
tative schedule the plan to explore
by plane the heretofore unknown In
land territory of Baffin Land, to the
northwest of Labrador. This Will be
done either on the return or begin
ming of the journey to Etah. Mac
MILAN has evidence of the existence
of hundreds of small lakes in this
barren region. of birds. FISH, caribou
and other life. The area to be eX-
plored will be about 500 miles long
and 200 miles wide.
Another plan of MacMillan's when
the ship reaches its destination at
Etah is to send out planes eastward

Atlantic between the United States

permission to remain in this coun-

Zerdescheno, who now is at the

RECRUITING REPORT
AROUSES QUAKERS
Claim Training Camp Activi-
ties in Schools Parallel to
Those of Libby.

The old controversy between the
Board of Education and Frederick j.
Libby, who was denied the right to
speak in the public schools fiared up
again today, when both branches of
the Society of Friends, or Quakers,
in Washington united in a demand
upon the board, to know if recruiting
for the citizens military training
camps in the schools had been
authorized, and why. Libby is a
member of the Society of Friends
In a letter delivered to the school
board today, and signed by repre-
sentatives of both local meetings"
of Friends, at 1911 / street, and
Thirteenth and Irving streets, atten-
tion is called to press accounts of "a
tour of the District high schools for
the purpose of recruiting for the
citizens military training camps to be
conducted by regular reserve Army
officers"
In view of the fact that similar
tours on behalf of the ideals of peace
and better International understand
ing have been denied by the Board of
Education" said the letter, I'VE wish
to ask:
First, have these tours been au-
thorized by vote of the Board of Ed
ucation? Second, If so, when and
why? Third, If such tours have been
authorized, while at the same time
speakers who present different but
legitimate ideas have been barred
from the schools, is not the board
justly open to the charge of being
militaristic and of denying the right
Of freedom of speech guaranteed by
the Constitution?
I'VE respectfully request YOU to
present these questions to the board
that the replies may truly reflect the
boards attitude"
The letter was signed by Herbert
s. Lewis, clerk of the 1 street meet
ing" and by E. C. Stanton, who rep
resents the Irving street meeting

cases of accused soldiers in a hap

them carefully and judicially. Crouch
and Trumbull faced grave charges
and the court-martial found those
charges SuDStant1ated. Apparently, 1t
is assumed in the United States that
the judgment of this court is the last
word on this subject, whereas 1T Is
merely the first word. The courts
judgments come under the review OF
a judge advocate of the division.
This official studies the evidence
and the details of the trials and sub
mits his recommendations to me
Then /, in turn, examine the whole
of both cases afresh and decide what
the sentences shall be. Finally my
conclusions come under the Judge ad

may reduce the sentences as he likes

1t is within the power of a judge ad-
