A MONUMENT OF INGRATITUDE
Colonel Roosevelt has broken into the limelight again
with his unsought advice and fishwoman's Billingsgate.
That he is entirely devoid of any sense of decency is
shown in the fact that having revolted from the party
that honored him with the highest gift in its power, and
put it out of the running, he started another party of his
OWn to which some of the brightest and purest men in
the nation announced their allegiance simply because
they had faith in his uprightness, and he betrayed that
and them. Then, it is believed by many, he deliberately
tried to defeat the man whom the republican party had
selected as its candidate for the presidency. It is prob
able his taking the stump as he did and his making the
attacks on the Central allies assisted in defeating Mr.
Hughes. His political career has been one of ingratitude
and base betrayal. Being unable to secure the nomina
tion for a third term, he forced the party to accept the
man he selected Taft; and when that gentleman de
clined to allow him to be the actual president, and remain
a figure head himself, he turned against him and so far
as politics are concerned, destroyed him. He assumed to
be larger than his party, and the only person capable of
running the executive branch of the govenunent.
He wants to manage the government still, and dictate
the policies of the country, and this despite the party he
last dishonored with his affiliation, was turned down at
the polls. If he had the least sense of the eternal fitness
of things he would retire to some solitude large enough
to hold him, and there remain in that obscurity his ac
tions have so well qualified him to adorn.
VILLA'S ONE SENSIBLE MOVE
RHEUMATISM GOES
The story of Mazie Colbert, who came to her death at F HOOD'S IS USED
the hands, it is believed, of Bernard Lewis, m Philadel- .
phia, a few days ago is attracting much attention j s pS1T.7t
through tne press, but this more on account of the girl's1 tin of the blood and builds up the
1 . 1 1 i 1 m - . ( ul T. , i
ueauiy anu popularity man ior any other reason, it is
neither a new nor a strange tale; in fact is an everyday
.'if fair, leaving the killing out of it, and even this is no
rarity. It is the old story of a pretty counti y girl brought
into the city and in contact with rich spendthrifts who
steered her up against the great white way, taught her
things undreamed of in her country home, and set her
feet in the path that can only be followed when the lights
are aglow. It was the same old primrose path that
thousands of other Mazies have followed to its end, and
its end was always death or worse.
Poor little country moth, lured by the glaring lights
around which she fluttered, dazzled but unafraid, all too
soon she fell into the flame and perished. Her beautiful
form which was her undoing lies at rest in a casket
costing $450, and this is all the reward she received for
all she paid. This was the salve to conscience that man
paid for what he had made of "only just a little
country girl."
At last Villa is doing the sensible thing and what, if
he expected to accomplish anything material, he should
have done long ago.
He has arranged to start a government of his own
with a constitution and laws other than his will. His
action will cause a still greater desertion from the Car
ranza ranks, and will cause many of the moie influential
Mexicans to turn to him as the only person in Mexico
capable of uniting all factions.
While uneducated, he is a natural leader of such men
as he has to deal with, that is, Mexicans. Carranza has
proved a braggart and a failure. His generals are ap
parently moved by no other impulse than self aggrandize
ment and jealousy of one another. This was apparent
when General Murguia refused to go to the aid of
General Trevino when he was attacked at Chihuahua,
holding his army 20 miles away while Villa finished
whipping Trevino and ransacking the city. He is now in
the same position as Trevino was when he betrayed him,
and according to .the eternal fitness of things, he too,
should be whipped by Villa, and he probably will be. If
Villa can get a quasi-government formed and show
Mexico that he has the real interests of the country at
heart, he will have Carranza on the run in a short time,
and will dominate all Mexico. It looks just now as though:
the best solution of the Mexican problem would be to let:
Villa have a try at straightening out the tangle, tor he
certainly cannot make a greater failure of it than His
Sideburns has done.
The house committee has arranged to investigate the
leaks alleged by Thomas Lawson to have been sprung in
the governmental departments, by which the stock
gamblers have profited. The dispatches the same day
this statement was flashed over the wires announced
that Mr. Lawson was going to Europe. This gives rise
to the suspicion that Thomas was talking for effect, and
has not the goods with which to back up his charges. The
congressional committee should get a hurry up move on
and see that the wordy and spectacular gentleman ap
pears before it, before he takes that trip to Europe. He
announced yesterday that congress could put off its in
vestigation until his return, but as it does not have to,
but can force him to stay and testify, perhaps it will take
that course instead.
Mayor Keyes has taken hold of the city's affairs in a
solid sort of way, and his message indicates that his
administration will be a strictly business one. He points
out the necessity of enforcing all the city laws, especially
those concerning autos. If he can put a stop to the viola
tion of the speed ordinances and others governing the
turning of corners and the like, he will do something
that has been sadly neglected and which needs attention
badly. Mayor Keyes can rest assured the citizens are
solidly behind him in every ' move to better conditions,
enforce the laws and put the departments on an econom
ical and businesslike basis.
It surely is the women's day. Recently a Cincinnati
judge ordered a man who was earning $2 a day to pay
alimony to his wife who was earning $5, in that time, as
employment investigator in a Detroit auto factory. This
is robbing Peter to pay Pauline.
A Chicago judge has decided that "it is a dangerous
precedent to allow a wife to support her husband." And
