judged acceptable by the society. individuals dis
tinguished for their patriotism were to be ad-
mitted as honorary members for life and the
state branches were always to meet on the
Fourth of July, while the general society was
to meet every third year on the anniversary Of
Its founding, May 10, 1888.
1t was agreed at the first meeting that In or
der to secure the fund for the desired relief of
the widows and orphans that all the officers
should contribute a full months salary, as soon
as congress appropriated an equal amount. This
would make a very considerable pension fund,
the interest on which alone was to be expended.
Strange as 1t may seem, the organization of
this patriotic and f~raternal organization soon
became the object of bitter denunciation by a
large number Of citizens OF the new nation. The
first mistake on the part of Its founders had
been in limiting the membership to officers, both
native and foreign. Unlike the G.. A. r., which
followed the Civil war, and the American Lee
gion, which followed the World war, the Society
Of the Cincinnati did not include In its member
ship the common soldier.
Then the memberships were made hereditary,
to pass Town to ~posterlty by the rule of prim.
ogeniture, and In this provision the patriots
detected a move oward the perpetuation of o
military aristocracy." And then, to cap the
climax, there was the golden decoration" which
went with a membership. Were not such deco.
rations of the very essence Of the Old world feu.
DIAL aristocracy?
SO, In spite Of the fact that the great ''Father
of Our Country vouched for the patriotic spirit
of the new society and honored 1t by becoming
Its first president, the tribunes Of the people
ragged against 1t and detained against 1t as an
insidious influence, to such an extent that the
time came when 1t was as much as a mans
political life was worth to appear in public
with the insignia of the Cincinnati pinned tC
his bosom. France, just swinging into its bloody
revolutionary period, took a hand in the fight
and even the great Mirabeau Numbered against
the Cincinnati and warned the young Republic
against Its dangerous tendencies.
The young Republic was quite willing to bellev,

Mexico Goes Naval.

When Secretary Hurley the other
day announced the transfer from the
border to northern garrisons of United
States troops long stationed in Texas,
Senator Tom Connally accused the
War Department literally of seeing
red" and succumbing to groundless fears
for the safety Of some Of the country's
urban centers. 1t is devoutly to be
hoped that the distinguished solon from
the Lone Star State will himself not
yield to any childish alarms when he
learns Of Mexico's project, just an
nounced, to equip herself with navy.
AS her next door neighbor on the Gulf,
Texas might we'll sit up and take notice
Of this unprecedented bid Of Mexico
for sea power.
Fortunately, the great republic be-
yond the Rio Grande essays no fleet
capable of upsetting either the equanim-
ity of the cotton belt Or the interna-
tional balance Of naval strength. The
Geneva Disarmament Conference can
proceed along its snail-like way with
out anxiety. Mexico plans nothing but
coast-defense establishment, and to
that end viii shortly place orders in
Spain for fifteen modern, armored YES
sells, specially adapted to that type of
service. mounting mainly machine guns
of moderately heavy caliber and with a
speed Of thirty knots. The ships are
intended primarily as force to ward
off smugglers, who from time immemo-
rial have piled thriving and virtually
invincib,e traffic along both Of Mexico's
seaboards, which comprise, be it observed
in passing, one Of the longest coast
lines in the world. Now and then come
reports of poaching In the waters Of
Lower California, adjacent to the Mag
dalena Bay region, by American fisher
men. These, too, presumably would be
the object of more solicitous attention
when Mexico has an adequate guard In
her home waters.
Mexico's federal finances are In sad
disarray - as which governments. ex-
chequers nowadays are not?-and sur
prise is naturally occasioned by her sud-
den decision to spend Q considerable

For his unhallowed glee.

"A little think like me?"
I'd rather be a crocodile
Or elephant in rage
Or q gorilla, for awhile
Out loose on a rampage,
And let my foemen take a shot
To end my fierce career
Than wiggle in some secret spot.

One People, After All.

Reports of the funeral Of former
President Coolidge indicate in strik-
ing way the essential solidarity of the
American people. He had been a Re-
publican, for more than forty years a
party man, party leader. He had
carried the Republican banner through
score of campaigns, including those
struggles in which his own name was
the center of the hottest battle. But
he had served the whole people, and 1t
therefore was natural that the whole
people should mourn him. There were
almost as many Democrats in North
ampton Saturday to do honor to his
memory as there were Republicans.
Only few weeks ago bitter political
contest, raging up and down the coun-
try, might have suggested to a visitor
from abroad that the American people
were dominated by partisanism. drasti-
cally divided into two or perhaps three
political groups, warning with each
other. A certain passionate violence
marked the expression OF political con-
viction. Even ordinarily well-mannered
citizens gave voice to their opinions in
language of extreme vehemence. Even
those who usually are conspicuously
rational in their thinking gave them
selves up to unreasonable dogmatism.
In the heat of the debate many were
guilty of misrepresentation, SANDER and
libel, devices which social philosophers
have sometimes conceived to be char
acteristic of political activity in a
democracy, but which. nevertheless,
they deplore. However, the turbulence
of such a contest is too exhausting to
last very long. The moment the cleo
ton was over sanity began to return,
and within a fortnight the masses Of
the population had returned to nor
NAL condition Of mind.
Perhaps it Is true that, as more than
one observer has declared, there Is little
real difference between the doctrines of
the Republican party and those of its
Democratic rival. Perhaps party lines
are only imaginary. In the halls of
Congress and the Assembly rooms OF the
several State Legislatures orators may
rant and rave, and in the columns Of
the press there may be certain ex-
travagance OF language, but funda-
mentally the differences between the
two major parties are less numerous
than their points of agreement. Re-
publicans and Democrats both talk par
tisanism, but when necessary practice
an effective cooperation in the more
important business of legislation and
administration. Undoubtedly, it is an
advantage to the Nation that 1t should
be so.
Mr.. Coolidge was party captain, but
not a party President. In recognition
Of that fact, Democrats joined with Re-
publicans to pay tribute to him. Thus,
once again, as on hundred other &C..
casions in recent years, the unity of the
people, the community of their affec-
lions and the. patriotism Of their ideals
were demonstrated for the world to see.
Altogether, the incident is deserving of
remembrance. The United States faces
crisis in its existence, and change of
administration has been demanded by
the electorate and is about to take
place, but 1t is well that we should be
reminded Of the fact that we are one
people, after all.

MIR. Mills was at one time a member
of the House and a candidate for Gov
ernor of New York against AL Smith,
in 1926. The progressive wing of the
Republican party will put forward can
didates of its own, probably more than
one, for the progressives wear no mans
collar. Just to whom the progressives
will turn is a question. Senator Norris
of Nebraska, who Is over 10 years of
age, is not likely to enter the list.
Senator Hiram Johnson had his fling
number of years ago. Senator Bob"
La Toilette OF Wisconsin stands out
among the younger progressive Repub-
licans. He has to run the gantlet of
reelection to the Senate next year
Gov. Albert C. Richie of Maryland

ministration If he could be persuaded
to accept q cabinet post. Whether he
will be invited to enter the cabinet or
whether he has already been so in
vited remains to be seen. 1t Is fact,
however, that his presence in the cabi-
net would be viewed with pleasure by
some Of the progressive Democrats as
well as the more conservative brand.
