RECALCJTE4NT BOARD OF WORKS

The board Of public works seems 10 be on the war path; or 10 put il mildly, 1t won't play marbles with the rest of the boys,
 Some time ago it was criticised for failure 10 have representative at the meetings of the Common Council. so that important questions being considered coudl not be refer red to the representative for opin- ion. or for such data as only man in close touch with public works could give. The Common Council uttered the criticism and it was well taken.
 But reforming the board of works is no picsyune job. At the second meeting of the mayors round table of department heads the board was again conspicuous by the absence Of representative. And the mayor, being an easygo- ing chap. uttered his regrets.
 The board of works seems 10 think 1t doesn't need to give advice. or doesn't need 10 take any; or that it Is separate and distinct tfm any other part t't the civic

WORSE THAN PENNSYLVANIA

Revelations regarding the Illinois primary are now worse than they were at first suspected, and top what has been unearthed regarding the recent Pennsylvania primary.
 The Illinois affair hinges around the contributions of Samuel 1nsull. of Chicago. MT. Insull is the owner of certain public utility franchises which the Illinois legislature soon must renew if they are not to lapse,
 So much is simple. Naturally MT. Insull wants them renewed.
 But here is the joker: Frank L. Smith, who was nominated for the United States Senate on the Repub- lican ticket, is chairman of the Hi nois Public Utilities Commission.
 And, as you guessed, or knew, MT. 1nsull gave large sum to Mir. Smiths campaign.
 H. also made smaller contribu- ton to the campaign chest Of George F. Brennan. the Chicago Democratic boss. It is said Mir. ln- sull alse has valuable franchises in Chicago which need renewing in the near future.
 Mir. Insull did not make the con tributions in order to buy" the in' fuence of anybody. regarding the franchises; of course not. Nothing was said about franchises when the contributions were made. They were made solely for campaign purposes, and because the donor liked the candidates.
 But is any person in his right mind going to suppose they woult have no bearing upon the fran chses when the time came? Hu' man nature being as fpair as win dow glass sometimes. there is nc other tenable conclusion.
 Mir. Smith knew he was chair man of the Public Utilities Com mission, and no doubt knew abou ! the franchises soon to expire. Thi being the case he should have beel unwilling to accept contribution from the franchise holder. But Mir smith evidently was too much O a politician to exercise such nice i ties of judgment.

government; or that the Common Council can attend to its own busi- ness: or perhaps that nobody is privileged to make suggestions or to give orders.
 All Of which is wrong. Co-opera- ton is imperative. Sooner or later A board which goes lon its own" too much is going to run into dlf- faculties; and when it becomes a supplicant for cooperation and assistance it may find it isn't going to get any.
 So far the boards work has been of a high order. Perhaps that Is the reason for its over-confidence. Perhaps it's members realize they are getting along all right and don't need to bother with advice seekers and advice-takers. But the work cut out for this board is not devoid of rough spots, and 1t ought not to be too uppish in its attitude toward the mayor, the other boards or the civic government generally.
 In other words, 1t won't hurt the board of works to do little CO., operating, even when 1t is at a time when such courtesy doesn't seem necessary.

TpE MEXICAN SITUATION

Things have come to the. expect ed pass in Mexico and the govern ment. with it's agencies of the law" st Its complete disposal. is enforc- irr it's constitution. its interpreta- tion of the constitution, and the will of the administration, te the letter.
 Something similar occurred in France in 1905; the sky was just as dark for the religious part of the population, and there was quite as much excitement through out the Catholic church. But those having religion did not lose it and the church remains about as strong as usual in that nation.
 The campaign of the Russian soviets against the Greek Catholic church after the Russian revolution likewise failed 10 change the habits Of the people.
 Mexico will be unable 10 succeed where the others failed. no matter how the government changes the relations heretofore existing be- tween It and the church authorities.

Yellowstone Parks
 New Gateway Opened

Three Forks, Mont. Aug Pt- A new gateway to Americas oldest playground, Yellowstone National park, was formally opened yesterday with impressive ceremonies. Men who made frontier history joined with parties from both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards to dedicate the huge archway erected at the en- trance of the Gallatin gateway to the park.
 Miss Jean Dixon, of Evanston, H., christened the new entrance by breaking a be-ribboned bottle of Yellowstone river water on the arch way. Immediately thereafter the first parties motored down the new road, 110 miles long into the park from Three Forks, where in 1904 Lewis and Clark discovered the source of the Missouri river.

living a few years longer, If only to see the day when the air will be loaded with flying men and women, touring around pretty much as they do nowadays over the oil-stained highways.
 Thus Henry Ford celebrated his ssd birthday by making the an- nouncement. Naturally he will want to live long enough to see his dream of an air fiivver for everyone come true. Which leads to the assump- ton he isn't going to waste much time about 1t.
 The time may not yet be ripe for mass production of the air con- traptions, but it probably is. not far distant.
 One of the results of the late war to end war has been that 8 large number of talented German engineers of various sorts has been busy in this country, instead of staying where there is nothing to do but pay separations. It appears that one such fellow, Otto Happen by name, is responsible for the new Ford mosquito, and that a gentle man named Won Krupp was pres ent with Henry at the demonstra- ton. This Krupp name sounds familiar.
 Henry Ford is broad-minded l when it's q matter of mechanics Anyone from anywhere with an idea about. how to improve trans portation is welcome in Detroit, and can get a good job at a top salary. That's why Happen is there. That how the country benefits; but also Henry Ford. For instance. the 1 country has benefited to the extent of buying 14,o00,o00 fiivvers; and at an average profit of $50 per car to Henry, that amounts to s70o,- 1 coo, 900.
 i If he ever lives to see 10000 100 of those pocket air fliVvers in cir culation, at the same profit per. that will be another s760,000, 900.
 As fer the public, it will need storm cellars for safety.

ENFORCE PARKING OR TAKE DOWN SIGNS

Either all parking lirnitauon s,rns in the city should come down rom the poles they adorn, or the city should begin enforcing what they say.
 When such a sign, in carmine c,esrness says "SQ minute parking that should not mean unlimited parking.
 Either it should mean 30 minutes AT tb. sign should come down; or the sign should be changed to read anything from two to i've hours
 Anv citizen whose powers of ob- seryation have not been destroyed must realize fully that no remote .,v serious attempt is made to en- force the parking ordinances.
 We have an energetic ordinance committee in the Common Council, an energetic chief of police an en- srp.tic police department, an ener- eetic trafic department; but no en- aryv whatever is evident in connec- tidn with enforcing the parking laws.
 Then why keep the signs up? SA,binp so much stimulates dis respect for law as when the ci'y puts up signs where all who park ,,sy read. and then weakly de- clines 10 respect its own law by en- forcing it.
 That there may be no mistake about this question we have mace ii a point to keep track of how an automobile has been parked for three days within 3O-mnute parking area. The car has been parked there nearly all the ume' possibly the owner is in business nearby and saves garage or park ing expenses by getting this free from the city.
 The example set stimulates others to do the same. Why should one ear-owner seek out parking space up some alley and in the rear of 8 downtown building = going 10 the trouble of going in and out Of an alley and negotiating cramped space for turning = or pay Tee at commercial parking site. or patronize a garage; why,sit can be asked, should he be willing to do any of these things If unlimited parking is going to be free on the downtown city streets, despite the many red signs the city has gone to the expense of erecting.
 They do such things in hick towns. where there is more space than people know what to do "ltn But this is the fifth city in the state, not a nick town.
 Conditions have been growing steadily worse. There was a time LID to not very long ago, when DO" ljesnien were constantly seen keep inr tratk of how long autos were parked in the downtown area. we have not been mporarily blinded and we have not noticed such en- ergy for some time. But we have noticed plenty of unlimited parking
 Enfcroe what the signs say oi take them down.

Mexico and the Catholics
Gales Undertakes to Enforce Hitherto Dead Anti Clerical Clauses of Constitution Wrought By Sue cessive Revolutionsts, Substituting Force For Liberty-Background of Mexican History Sum- marized For American Readers.

Americans, contemplating the astonnhinsx war between church and state in Mexico, are puzzled to know the why and the wherefore. They read that Mexico Is trying to separate church and state" and then 1t occurs to them that church and state are separated in the United States and yet no such re- ligious prohibitions as exist in Mexico were ever deemed necessary in the United States.
 To understand the situation in Mexico requires working knowl- edge of Mexican history, its insti- tutions, and the people.
 To gain this background 1t is only necessary to weigh the high lights of its turbulent events.

 Heavy penalties are provided for ministerial or other authorities who fail to enforce the above provisions
 President Gales is undertaking something never before attempted in Mexico despite the constitution.
 The reason he can attempt such drastic regulations is because the constitution, which was created as the result of revolutions, yields the power.
 The anti-relision clauses of the constitution were dead during the long Diaz regime; it is nearly 70 years since they first existed in the 1857 constitutions; it is Is years after the Madero revolution was started.
 There are no precedents in Mex ico for such action. There are sev- eral other precedents in other countries, however.
 At the beginning of the present century France, under the leader ship of Premier Combes, success fully ''hationalized" church prop erty. suppressed certain religious associations, and separated church and state.
 But when the World War came the powerful French government resumed diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
 The Russian Communists cenfs- cated the property of the Greek church, but failed to change the religious adherence of the mujiks and the Russian people generally. Opinion in this country is that violent efforts to separate church and state are not necessary, As be- fore stated, under the American constitution. such separation was attained from the first. and liberty of, worship and religious toleration was secured at the same time. ! The American administration is welded to the principle that the trouble in Mexico Is a domestic af- fair, as was the religious upheaval in France during the first decade of the present century and the an ti-religious campaign of the Rus sian soviets in more recent times i President Coolidge has refused to consider the removal of the em- bargo on munitions to Mexico at this time.
 Although there is some senti- ment to the contrary. 1t is clear l that the American government will 1 follow a hands off policy with re- spect to Mexico's present dif1eul- ties.
 On the other hand, Americans j have long ago seen the benefits of 1 religious tolerance and liberty, ] standpoint. ''

The Gales government Is en- deavoring to consolidate the results of several revolutions.
 The constitution under which an attempt is being made to enforce the anticlerical laws was the direct result of military uprising; and there have been others since, which added to the anticlerical portions of the constitution.
 The recurrent revolutions, which most of us remember quite wildly, were all opposed to the interests Of the religious bodies; and as the Catholic church comprises 95 per cent of the population. that church has been most severely hit.
