At the meeting of the county board of educationa in Greens boro last Saturday Walter H, McLean of this place was elected as school attendance officer for Rock Creek Township and tie will begin taking the.census at an early date. All children whose nearest birthday is eight years Senate discloses the fact that school tor ic>v}r months contmu- ously from the beginning of the term of school. None of the public schools will open later than October 18th this year, and many many Senators, including the foremost supporters of the ad ministration, take a very serious yhw of the situation. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, introduced. and pressed vigorously, a resolu-1 tion for a Senate investigation of the situation. It required a long and serious appeal by Sen ator Bacon, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, the natural spokesman for the administration on such matters, to prevent immediate action on the resolution. In the course of his appeal Senator Bacon ad mitted that Governor Lind’s mission was likely to fail a’^d that its failure almost inevitably ment armed intervention. General Huerta’s official ann ouncement, that Governor Lind’s presence in Mexico would not be desirable, is followed by an aston ishing official statement by the Governor of the Federal Distict, in which Mexico City is situated, to the effect that he can provide no guarantee for the personal safety of Governor Lind in that city. These two formal annou ncements by high Mexican offi- i cials present a situtation which may easily and shortly compel I this government to resort to I armed intervention. President W^ilson is Meeting with slow but steady success in, his legislative program. Discus,-- sion on the tariff bill in the Sen^ ate is dragging along its weary course at a speed or lack of speed which indicates that we shall b6 fortunate if the final vote is rea ched before the latter part of September. This is the fourth week of the entai’ei considera tion of the bill by the Senate and discussion has not yet been ^ concluded upon fourteen sche- I dules. The most controversial [ are yet to be taken up. In those schedules which have been con- ! sidered, numerous items have ! been passed at the request of I Senator La Follette, who is evi dently preparing to^ submit his own tariff propositions at one time. It is not at all unlikely that Mr. La Follette’s attempt to impress his views on the tar iff legislation will consume at least a week. «’nr hftflidache Dr Mills’ Anti-PaJn f*!' Dr. W, C.
