 Mrs. Ablemarle: Really dear, Mrs. Knapp gives inc a PAIN. l mean she REALLY does. She is always RAVING about the good. OLD days and how they did things when she was a GIRL" Mrs. Collier: "She probably just does it to show off her memory"
 Mrs. Ablemarlc: Well, it DOES take q MARVELLOUS memory to re- member what happened when SHE was a girl!' Act Two (Mrs. Golfers sitting room. Mrs. Knapp is talking to her.)
 Mrs. Knapp: "I think it's a crime what passes for education these days! When I was girl. children went to school to learn their figures and letters-not to paste up paper chains and learn folk dances.' Mrs. Collier: Were quite satis- 1 llCd Nlln the progress our llltle Rlcn- ard is making" 1 Mrs. Knapp: "Ycs. He's eight years old. and I'll bet he can make Valentine favors as good as a grown

UNAVOIDABLE" PUBLICITY

When a burglary takes place in what way can an account of the oc- currence injure the property own- CTS? Does even Chief of Police Hart think that because q burglary was committed at the Hotel Stanley . general knowledge of that fact would keep trade away? Who is SO unintelligent as to think that an in- stitution burglarized, or in case a burglary was committed on its premises, can be harmed when it is apparent that it was innocent of partnership in the crime?
 Most of the attempts at the sup- pression of what is playfully termed ''unfavorable" publicity springs from a desire to wield some infiu- ence: it enhances the pride of some folk to think they were able to keep it out of tine papers," And let it be
 
 said right here they don't succeed if the papers land the item. The chief of polce's influence to sup press news on this newspaper amounts to perfect zero without even a rim.
 A newspapers duty to its readers is to publish news. not censored in formation from public servants. The public expects it's public servants to play fair to the public through it's newspapers. The chief of police is not being employed to be a censor.
 The chief says he feels justified in helping property owners protect their bread and butter" How about others? No such censorship is ex- ercised in the case Of ordinary folk who get into the tolls of the police. There is no denying that frequently more unfayorable publicity comes their way than is good for them, and an appeal to the chief has no ef- feet. Only somebody welding influ- epce gets such consideration: that i- 10 say, property owners who can tell the chief some bread and butter may be despoiled if happening were given out. From this it is just one jump to the exercise of moro than influence to suppress news
 The chief need not worry unduly about 'the feeling of the news- papers," It is more important to worry about the attitude Of the pub- lie. This attitude is one of lack of complete confidence in a police chief who makes if business to suppress news at the bchest Of q comparative iv few individuals,

as a man Of executive ability, fit for
the very complex and important po-

Regardless of the speeches of
either candidate and those of their

Mexico Advances

Emilio Portes Gil stands out in
striking contrast to the kind and
character of president Mexico has
been accustomed to select. A man
Of mystery. they call him, chiefly
because he has not come up through
the army or gained fame as a revo-
lutionary leader. PorteS Gil is a
plain civilian. That makes him
unique. He is the first of long
line that did not wear shoulder
straps.
Porfirio Diaz was not only a gen.
eral, but one of the greatest mill
tary experts of his time. Though
Francisco I. Madero entered Mex
leo in plain clothes, he soon found
it necessary to put on a uniform.
Victoriano Huerta, who succeeded
Madero, was an officer of high rank.
Calderon, serving but a short time
after Huerta, was a lawyer and one
of the few civilians ever to occupy
the palace of Chapultepec. Then
came Venustiano Carranza, Obregon
and Gales. all of them fighting
their way to power.
One cannot review Mexican his
tory for the last fifty years, with
out recognizing the elevation of
Portes Gil to the presidency as a
real step in advance.
Evidently, the revolutionary move
ment has achieved such success and
gained such stability that 1t can
afford to rely on a purely civil adj
ministration. That represents moth
ing less than triumph.
