U. S. TROOPS ON THE BORDER.
Congress may call for 50,000 volunteers for the campaign
in Mexico. Some months will elapse before they can be made
ready for war, after they shall have been recruited. There is
no guessing what may happen south of the border before that
time.
The Mexican situation suddenly has thrown upon us a
serious duty, for which we are not prepared. It is possible for
practically our whole army to be annihilated before another of
similar size can he made ready. Think of the wasted days
through the holocaust of watchful waiting, when confronted
by pe rils whose materialization seemed certain at any moment.
llad the border been adequately protected—and' we all
were assured that it was—Villa never would have made the
murderous dash which now has caused' us to fling an un.sup
port. d uul poorly supplied force south of the Rio Grande. And
there was abundant warning. Villa had said again and again
that !i proposed to make that dash. The public was alarmed,
bul f< !l secure in tile declarations from Washington that the
dividing line was in safe hands. It was safe only as far as it
went, and it did not go far enough to guarantee safety.
A sufficient force, along the border probably would have
coerced Carranza into pursuit and capture and punishment of
Viila without sending a single 1'nited States trooper across.
WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS TO VISIT THE WEST.
Thirty—six suffrage envoys are to journey forth from
Wa.-diinirtou oil this month to perfect a Woman Voters’ party,
will: which tin y expect to make things lively for Congress later
iu tli \ear. I lie project involves the organization ot the wo
men voters of the twelve enfranchised states into a group whoso
po, . i will be an effective weapon in procuring the passage of
the national suffrage amendment.
April S and !• a conference will be held in Washington to
complete the program for this crusade and the thirty-six en
vo\ v. ill he elected at this conference. Approximately $50,000
will be required to cover the expense of the undertaking, and
the money has been subscribed, and when the envoys depart
they v ill he in fluid's sufficient to prevent any financial clouds
to darken the pleasures of the dining car. They will visit Chi
cago. Topeka, Wichita, Denver, Colorado Springs, Williams,
Grand Canyon, Prescott, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Bakersfield,
San Francisco, Rcrio, Carson City, Stockton, Sacramento, Port
land, Tacoma, Seattle, Great Falls, Helena, Butte, Pocatello and
Stilt Lake City.
The tour is to end in a conference of the representatives of
all the western congressional union branches, in Salt Lake City.
Every state and congressional district chairman in the voting
states is expected to attend. According to the plans this is to
be the largest and most spectacular symposium ever held in
the interest of nation-wide suffrage.
Perhaps when these feminine zealots have reached this
western coast and have spent half of the $50,000 in their grand
swing around the circle, they will discover that the women of
the suffrage states already are well organized under the name
of the National Council of Women Voters, and that this body is
well officered and well financed, and that its busy headquarters
are in Tacoma.
And' no doubt they also will learn that, generally speaking,
the women of the suffrage states are opposed to the militant
tendencies of the Congressional Union, and are quite solidly
set against a program which, if it carries, is not finally effective.
The militants have only a faint glimmer of hope, if they
only knew it, of accomplishing their aims through Congress.
They must depend finally upon the votes of the individual
states. The $50,000 tour is interesting in its spectacular possi
bilities, but it is a reckless waste of a lot of perfectly good
money that should he devoted to better purposes.

Spring house cleaning is a necessity, and it applies as well
to the city as to individuals.
This is election day. but the usual strife and factional feel
ing does not enter into it, as there is but one municipal ticket
in the field.

Colonel Roosevelt returns home with the announcement
that he discovered in the West Indies a new bird that sleeps in
daylight and eats nuts. In Arkansas the moonshiners used to
produce a brand that is said to have made a man see green rats
with purple eyes and white wings. The colonel’s bird story,
his temperate habits and his remoteness from Arkansas, to
gether with his wide reputation for truth and veracity, present
to ornithologists a subject for their dissection.
