But they roam from one place to another, ompanj everything in their path, by robbing, murdering and ning as fancy may dictate and the innocent are the most to suffer. It appears to many that there is no principle involved in the sent fight. It is simply and purely a warring contest for political lership and graft and the fight is prolonged as long as ammunition Dem le be secured. It appears to be a mistake to furnish either side with munition 'under the present circumstances and conditions. What sident Coolidge ought to do is to notify Mexico that we expect n to respect our rights, property and life or we will take a hand e 10rnit settle the matter for them. American citizens have been robbed, ;dered, and tortured and our government has been very patient up t e l:he present time.

Smith, Democrat from South Carolina, has been named chairman of the interstate commerce committee alter a prolonged fight between the Democrats and Republicans to name the chairman. A few insurgents, lead by Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, stood on the side lines with the balance of power firmly held in their grasp. The Republicans positively refused to listen to La Follette and his followers and the latter cast their lot with the Democrats as a rebuke to the domineering tactics of the old line guard. It is the first time in the history of American politics where the majority failed in dictation. According to seniority, La Follette ought to be the chairman . . i of this committee but the old guard Republicans absolutely refused to give their support to a Progressive Republican. The Progressive Republicans are in a position to dictate terms to either side Democrat or Republican and many reforms are looked for during the present session of congress. . The Maruhachi family, of Tokoyo, whp operated a drug house of old established fame, had received and transmitted from generation to generation a sealed instrument, with instructions that it should be opened only if he family house fell into straightened circumstances.

Wood has been anything but popular and the people are crying for a new governor. However, they are demanding their independence and the Filipino leaders say that the people can now govern themselves and they are bcseaching congress for their independence. Opponents of William G. McAdoo have come out in the open and from now on the former railroad director will meet opposition. Heretofore, he has been in the race practically alone. The friends of Senator Underwood are getting together and many of the prominent Democrats of the east are sure that Underwood will beat McAdoo at the convention. If the worlds chemists and the worlds engineers would hold annual meetings in a friendly spirit for the salvation of mankind! If they could agree together that to exercise their ingenuity on the perfecting of destructive agents for the use of governments was a crime; to take money for it a betrayal of their species! If we could have such exchange of international thought as that, then indeed we might hear the rustle of salvations wings and after all why not? John Galsworthy.
