WAR IN MEXICO A STEP NEARER

The State Department at Washington announces
the smuggling convention between the United States
and Mexico will terminate next Monday March 2S.
This is Secretary Kellogg's last warning to
President Gales In effect, he says:
MAKE your oil and land laws conform to our
idea of what they should be, or we will loose upon
you the dogs of war"
The next step may be the formal lifting of the
embargo, which will be the signal for rush
Of President Gales enemies to buy guns in this
country with which to wage a revolution to over
throw him.
In fact, the end of the smuggling convention
means partial lifting of the embargo. After next
Monday the United States will not be bound, as
it is now to notify Mexico of any private shipments
of destined for Mexico.
This makes smuggling of war supplies easier.
Henceforth about the only thing that can stop
arms crossing the border into Mexico will be Mex
icos efforts. And that will be difficult, espe-
cially If antiCales factions happen to be uppermost
in this or that sector Of the border.
Trouble with Mexico, therefore, draws a step
nearer
Meantime such revolutionary outbursts as the
attack on the train from Laredo to Mexico City the
other day, may be expected with greater and greater
frequency.
We are not courageously out in the open fighting
Mexico. We are just sniping her.

A POOR WAY

When President Borno slammed the door of
Haiti in the face of Senator Kink of Utah, he set
a precedent which can have consequences.
Not that the barring of Senator King is, in It.

But il the precedent is to be followed, the State

entering any of the West Indian and Central Amer
lean countries.
Senator King has criticised President Bornos
administration He charged, on the floor of the
United States Senate, that he is but fgurehead In
Haiti, dthat the real ruler down there is Uncle
Sam, etc.
So when the Senator wished to visit Haiti to get
first hand information, they refused to let him in

will need to do in the future is tip off the various

SUCH A COUNCIL

Evidently the members of the city council are
determined to drive the people into changing the
form of government in order to get something done
With bridge slipping into Fall Creek, with
automobile traffic disrupted and with the street car
traffic diverted and INSTRUCTED the city government
finds itself unable or unwilling to move.
The people want the use CT a bridge at College
Ave. and they want it as soon as possible.
The cost Of either repair or a new bridge must
be paid for by the people of this city, Keep in
mind that these city officials and different boards
are not paying out their money. They know
the bridge must be put in order and that the people
must pay.
Yet day after day passes with nothing more &C
complished than additional debate as to what fund
will be tapped for the bill.
The appalling feature of the matter is that no
branch Of the city government seemingly has any
confidence in any other branch, and the city coun-
ell, with its power purse strings, seems deter
mined to impose its program in picking con-
tractors before 1t will permit any action to be taken
business concern would get engineer and
expert in whom it had confidence and proceed to
get bridge, not more conversation
The policy at the city hall seems to be to quar-
rel over power and keep control the contracts
and let the people suffer-
There are boards in the city hall which are re-
sponsble for public improvements. The city council
should either permit these boards to function or be
very specific in their explanations as to why they
are blocking traffic.

Third Degree

II Mrs. Snyder hadn't broken
down and confessed, we probably
would be hearing bowls of protest
at the way she was grilled by the
olice.
AS it is her lawyers already are
= leading that she confessed under
torture and told untruths in order
to escape more Of it.
There would be some substance
in the plea If her paramount hadn't
also confessed.
The quick solution of this murder
is victory for the so-called third
degree"
1t is depressing to think Of wom-
an having to go through what Mrs.
Snyder did. 1t Is far more depress-
ing to think what she did before
hand.
You simply can't unravel the GRIM
inal mind by pink tea methods.
When a man and a woman have
planned murder for days, when they
have provided, as they suppose, for
every possible contingency when
they have arranged what seems an
iron-clad alibi and when they have
carried out the deed with heartless
cruelty during the dead of night 1t is
beyond human power to break
through the barriers of conscience
less deceit, except by using strong
arm tactics.

Pictures on Clouds

A searchlight gun has been per-
fected in the laboratories Of the
General Electric Company which
projects pictures or printed matter
on clouds or the walls of buildings
at great distance.
The present model is Of short
range compared to those it is pos
sible TO produce, according to w.
d. Arch Ryan, the inventor.
There is absolutely no reason"
he says, why we cannot make pro-
jectors using a sixtyinch search
light which will be capable Of cast
ing an image on cloud, or other
object, at a distance of five miles. E"
Science is making possible for the
artist to deal in grandeur. The
painted canvas becomes a toy com
pared to pictures on the sky, while
the etching fades in comparison to
the prospects OF writing messages
across the face Of some towering
cliff.

Good Lesson

Peaches" Browning can revert
to single blessedness, but no more.
She has nothing but separation to
show for all the complaining and
publicity, and even that was grant
ed on "Daddy's" account.
The decree by which her case was
ended allows no alimony, no dam
ages and no fees for further lItiga-
ton.
1t is a good lesson for young girls
who might be tempted to 20 and do
likewise.
Mony has become a large factor
In the divorce court. It explains
why so many more women than
men file suits. The women stand

Excuse for Ending Snug
Cling Treaty Both Lame
and Late.
By M. e. Tracy

The State Department explains
that it has broken off the anti-smug-
Cling treaty with Mexico because
there is no commercial treaty. 1t
feels that the United States should
not be bound to protect Mexico
against smuggling so long as Mex
leo is not bound to protect Ameri-
can commerce against discrimina-
ton.
The excuse is both lame and late.
Trade and smuggling are two diff
ferent things. Any treaty works
both ways with regard to the sub
jects in includes, or ought to, and
does not require some other treaty
to justly it. The anti-smuggling
treaty bound Mexico as well as the
United States.
There has been no commercial
treaty between the two countries
treaty was signed only two years
ago. If we shouldn't continue the
anti-smuggling treaty because there
is no commercial treaty, why did
we sign it in the first place.

YOU CAN READ 1T TWO WAYS

In writing things for publication always be very
very careful Of your phraseology and punctuation.
Here is paragraph from editorial in Moral
Welfare" official publication Of the Presbyterian de-
partment Of Moral Welfare quitting that church's
stand on preparedness and war:
1--WE are opposed to spending vast sums In build
ing battleships which will be out Of date
and discarded very and so is President Cool
idge."
Somehow. we have notion the editorial writer
didn't mean that in quite the way It sounds. At
first glance, you'd almost think some very ardent
Democrat had written It.

A KING WITHOUT SUBJECTS

England's Duke of York, now on voyage around
the world, has granted audience to the greatest
monarch earth-Kng Tami Solomon of the
Chatham Islands, off New Zealand. King Solomon
weighs 1872 pounds
Here, we submit, is real figure of king-a
man with physique and bearing that the common
truly reverence.
But alas! his kingship is only shadow. He has
almost no subjects at al. His people have been
practically wiped out by hostile tribes. He is not
only the first in his realm he almost the only
one.
Such is the irony Of life.

A NARROW ESCAPE

Rather humilating that the city Of indianapolis
is put on probation by the insurance companies.
But probation is the one way of escape from
higher rates because of the condition Of the fire de-
partment
For months it has been an open secret that the
city faced some very drastic reforms in conditions
relating to fire hazards would be penalized by a
change insurance rates that would be very costly
to the property owners
The final report of the insurance bodies is pub
lie offer to withhold the actual levy of higher rates
if more changes in fire fighting precautions made
One of these is the installation of alarm sys
tenn
The city is actually put into a class that carries
higher rate Of payment, but sentence to pay is
withheld depending upon performance Of promises
from the city government
Some changes have been made since the inspec-
tors for the insurance companies came to this city
a few months ago and made their Investigations.
The pledge to take the fire department out of
politics and to install some system of civil service
was forced by this threat of higher insurance rates.
The handling of certain apparatus, the insistence
upon drills changes in methods all came not from
choice but through orders.
The escape has been narrow and the
danger Is not yet ended.
makes other drastic changes and meets conditions.
There may be cause for rejoicing that the city is
not forced to pay increased rates, but it would be
much finer if the city had form of government that
permitted business administration of all depart
ments and would bring reductions not increases in
these essential burdens.
All of the defects found by the insurance CON-
panes can be traced directly to the mixture of gov
eminent and partisan politics.
An administration that must keep one eye on
politics in order to satisfy its hackers can hardly
be expected to be very efficient.
form of government which depends upon
efficiency for it's continuation, rather than upon
politics would have chance to secure reductions
and not shout in glee when merely escaping In
creased burdens.
The answer to lower insurance rates. as well as
other benefits, is in city manager form of govern
ment which will Danish partisan politics from CITY

They Think

South Carolina will remain blue
on Sunday, thanks to the stubborn
ness of Governor Richards.
The Legislature did what 1t could
to Hberate the State from an an
cient statute, statute that most
people had forgotten was on the
books, until Governor Richards
dragged 1t forth to prove his
Puritanism.
1t passed bills permitting amuse-
ments and the sale of goods within
reasonable bounds, but only to meet
veto which seems inexplicable in
this day and generation.
What does Governor Richards
hope to gain for his State, himself,
or even Christianity by such an
Anticipated stand?
Does he think to set back the clock.

Scripture: Read Corinthians
121-13.

Meditation: 1t is possible for our
souls to remain stationery and
never come to clear under standing
of spiritual experience, just as an
infant sometimes grows physically
to adult life retaining the mind OF
the babe. On the other hand there
are growing souls. In the world
of spiritual experience they come to
distinguish the great realities with
at least glimmerings of clearness.
There are laws of growth in the
spiritual world; they are like the
laws Of growth in the material
world. Life must receive impress

God we become more and more pro-
