Escobar. former Governor Fausto
Topete of Sonora, and another rebel
leader had flow across the border
last Thursday. The rancher. who
said he met the rebel general. de-
clared the conference was arranged
by an American mining engineer.
United States customs and immi-
grafton officials at Gila Bend said
they did not believe Escobar has en-
tered this country. They pointed
out that for several weeks they had
watched closely for airplanes from
Mexico and that no such plane as
might have brought Escobar across
the border had been sighted. The
terrain surrounding ella Bend Is
such that a plane landing many
miles from the town could be seen.

cobar Is now at a ranch between

n. E. IN THE CABINET

It looks as If New England is to
have a member of the Presidents
cabinet after all in the person of
Charles Francis Adams of Boston.
Adams-a member OF the famous
Adams line Of Massachusetts,
slated to be secretary of the navy. so
the prognosticators say. Mr.. Adams
himself will not confirm or deny the
implication. leading one TO assume
there must be truth in the report.
Unlike some navy secretaries we
have had. Mr.. Adams is as much at
home upon the sea as upon land, be-
ing a famed yachtsman and ocean
traveller.

WRITING TO CONGRESSMAN

Considering the thousands of con-
stituents each congressman repre-
sents he receives little mail. Who
takes the trouble to write to con-
gresham these days, anyhow? To
bring it closer to home, when.
reader. did you write to yours about
pressing public issue?
This observation comes from not
ing that propaganda organization
advises all interested in the matter
at issue to write to their congress-
man. We won't mention the organi-
zation or the issue. merely utilizing
the incident for purposes of illus
tration.
We write to editors, to broadcas
ers, and occasionally to people whose
utterances we commend or denounce.
But the only people who write to
congressman are those who do so
upon the behest of organizations
having an axe to grind.
Representatives and senators think
they are gauging public sentiment In
their districts and states. Half the
time they are merely guessing at II
or moving in conformity with the
group making the loudest noise.

JUDGE PECK'S BILL

Some time ago We printed an edi-
torial calling attention to the effort
made in numerous states to elimin-
ate the necessity Of unanimous
opinions In jury verdicts. We were
inclined to look with favor on the
plan In criminal as. well az civil
cases. Judge Peck Of Bristol at least
thinks well of the plan SO far az civil
cases are concerned and his resolu-
ton to make jury verdicts given by
nine OF the IL good men and true
binding deserves close attention.
Such law would expedite juris.
prudence. simplify justice and fire.
quentiy save expense.

LONGWORTH'S KIND WORDS

We see no reason why Speaker
Longworth should not defend party
government. That is not only easy to
defend but easy to prove necessary in
democracy. The trouble with 1t is
that there Is not enough Of an oppo-
sition party in many states. A strong
minority may not of itself be able
to achieve notable things, but it can
force the dominant party to good
effort.
Speaker Longworth also says Mr..
Hoover will measure up to George
Washington. Perhaps that was a
good way to contribute a few nice
words 10 the anniversary of the first
presidents birthday. but not -neces-
sariIy accurate. Mr.. Hoover may go
down in history as great President,
but there can only be one George
Washington.

Our F'en.iI,isac Friends!

oNU LNshuuusN AAeNUuSt
When our feminine friends first
began to take the hem out of their
skirts, and 1t was not SO very long
ago. they not only began taking the
hem out but they also began taking
about six inches OF the dress. Thea
they raised the ante-six. eight, ten,
twelve and up. Men began recognize
ing their feminine acquaintance by
their knees.
Any great change In the existing
order of things always brings a bar
rage from the PInmakers. the Edi-
tors. the Vaudevillians. the PaRa-
Grapher and the Pulpit. This change
has no exception.
The fair sex became the bare sex
and increased the sight-seeing pro-
pensities OF the stare sex. but the
bare sex which had now become the
bare sex had not completed their
cycle. They decided that they want
ed the things that the stare sex was
getting such kick out of. so they
went in for sports and other manly
| vices.
The fair sex which had become
the bare sex went through another
transformation and became the dare
sex and the don't-care sex until
this good day when a real feminine
example of yesterday is of rare
sex.
| And all in all We are not sure
whether it is the stare sex or the
don't-care sex that make up the
queer sex!

ton. What was more natural than to

That's politics.
But be that as it may. Postmaster

STILL HOPE FOR FEM BILL


1t IL impossible to increase ones
respect tor the speed Of the Senate
and its willingness to abide by the
Constitutional requirements for re-
apportionment every ten years in
view OF the dilatoriness Of that body
in taking up the Fem bill for re-
apportionment. Although the session
u nearing its end. the measure will
not be put forward on the calendar
for action, which means it Is In dan
ger of becoming unfinished business
when Congress expires.
The Constitution is specific about
reapportionment OF representatives
every ten years That is one purpose
of the census. Congress failed to base
a new apportionment upon the last
census after it had been taken and
remains adamant as far as the Sem
ate Is concerned. The House, in
finally passing the measure about a
month ago. cleaned its skirts. but
rather late.
It may be possible that the re-
apportionment measure can be push
ed through at the special session. but
this is doubtful II the political pow
ers insist upon circumscribing the
session to special matters.
The Hartford county representa-
tive made a good fight in cause
that was just. Too many near-states-
men from states which would lose a
congressman or two under the
measure seem lukewarm about it,
Connecticut would gain congress-
man, which may have spurred Mr..
Fem to championing the bill. Even
30. it was something very much
worth while. 1t has been long time
since a Connecticut congressman has
been prominently identified with a
measure that is national in scope.
