Rich and Powerful Should
Do Their Part In Bet
terment of Social
Conditions*
By District Attorney CHARLES S. WHITMAN of
New York
The strong demand of the new social citizenship is that
THE RICH AND POWERFUL SHALL DO THEiR PART—A PART
MEASURED BY THEIR POWER—TOWARD THE BETTERMENT OF
SOCIAL CONDITIONS AND THE CONDITIONS OF LIVING IN OUR COUN
TRY; TOWARD ITS SECURITY AND DEFENSE AND THE MAINTE
NANCE OF ITS GOVERNMENT; THAT THEY SHALL ASSIST AND NOT
OBSTRUCT THE GOVERNMENT IN ITS EFFORT TO PROMOTE THE OR
DER AND MORALS OF SOCIETY, TO ELIMINATE PRIVILEGE, TO PRO
TECT LABOR AS WELL AS CAPITAL AMD TO STRENGTHEN THE RACE
BY PROPER PROVISIONS FOR ITS HEALTH. THE FIRST ESSENTIAL
TO THE MAKING OF "SOCIAL CITIZENS'' IS THE QUICKENING OF THE
INDIVIDUAL SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE GENERAL WEL
FARE.
The great problem of statesmanship in this country in the next dec
ade will be to make a sane and effective response to jhat demand—so to
direct the forces of social citizenship that they may not send our gr^at
democracy upon the rocks of an unwieldy centralized power that shall
be alike destructive to the personal and economic liberty of the in
dividual.
We Should Ask South America to Help
Us Restore Order In Mexico
By ZANE GREY. Novelist
WE are confronted in Mexico with a nation of more than twelve
million—some say they are a? many as fifu n million—of whom
nine-tenths are no more civilized than our own red men on the
plains. Seven-tenths of the Mexican people are of pure Indian blood,
two-tenths, say, are of mixed Spani-h and Iinl art <! ent, and the small
remainder are of pure Spani-h blood. [ should !:■> to emphasize the
OVERWHELMING PREPONDERANCE OF INDIANS IN TIIE
POPULATION, for if we forget them wo are apt to think of the .Mexi
cans as a people with whom the nations can di-al as they might deal
with Germans, Englishmen or Frenchmen. And ft !i a thing, of course,
is impossible. ■*
WE OWE IT TO OUR SENSE Or DECENCY AND JUSTICE TO PUT AN
END TO THE CARNIVAL OF PLUNDER, BUTCHERY AND OUTRAGE
THAT HAS MADE MEXICO A HELL ON EARTH DURING THE LAST
YEAR. AND IN ORDER THAT THERE MAY BE NO COMPLAINT OR
GROUND OF COMPLAINT ON THE PART OF OUR SOUTH AMERICAN
NEIGHBORS THAT WE ARE SEEKING TERRITORY OR WEALTH IN
THE AFFLICTED COUNTRY WE OUGHT TO ASK THEM TO JOIN US IN
RESTORING ORDER IN MEXICO—YES, AND IN MAINTAINING ORDER.
FOR IT IS CERTAIN THAT THE MOMENT THE STRONG HAND OF THE
LAW IS WITHDRAWN REVOLUTION AND RIOT WILL BEGIN AGAIN.
Inexperience of Younger Officers Main
Cause of Discontent In Army
By Major General LEONARD WOOD, U. S. N.
MUCH of the discontent among enlisted men of the army is caused
by the inexperience of the younger ollicer* as well as by some
others not new in the service. who try to accomplish through
public rebuke what could be more effectively accomplished through a
private talk with a subordinate.
f> ta r
many officers who are intrusted with the command of
MEN HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND HAVE
NOT BEEN SUFFICIENTLY IMBUED WITH THE TREMENDOUS IM
PORTANCE OF THEIR DUTIES WHICH CONCERNS THEIR RELATIONS
WITH ENLISTED MEN. THEY OFTEN FEEL THAT IT IS NECESSARY
TO ADOPT A TONE OF VOICE OR A MANNER IN DEALING WITH THEM
WHICH IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THAT WHICH THEY USUALLY
EMPLOY, AND ONLY TOO FREQUENTLY THEY SEEK TO ACCOMPLISH
THROUGH PUBLIC REBUKE WHAT COULD BE MORE EFFICIENTLY
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH A PRIVATE TALK WITH THE SUBORDI
NATE HIMSELF.
*t * X
This fault is not entirely limited to the officers new in the service,
but is unfortunately found at times in others of more experience, and
it is directed that every effort be made t.n eradicate it.

People with kidney Ills want to

troublo and rheumatism for ten
years and sometimes I w'i« laid up.
Doctors did not help m.j. Sharp
pains extended through iny back

and was in very poor health. 1

THREE NOTCH ROADS.
Thair Curious Title Comes From the
N.-me of George III.
In .Missouri ami some other central
western stales there lire roods thut are
railed "three notch roads." They are
public highways .-is distinguished Iron*
the roads that lead to a sawmill, a
Hchoolhouse. a church or an isolated,
farmhouse. A three notch road "goes
somewhere." 1'ioeediug along such a
road, the ti neler is Uotiud, iu time, to
reach a town.
There lies I eliiud the curious title an
Interesting stor.v. it appears that
King George ill. decreed tiiat all Eng
lish public ro..;ls. as king'* highways,
should lie marked with his name. In
the colonies it was often impossible to
mark the roads with the care and
thoroughness that were used in Eng
land. and in the wilderness it wn; |
enough to cut three notches on il.e I
largest trees aloug the roads.
After the Kevolution. of course, the j
name ol King George was omitted,
but the three in itches proved useful as
a means or marking public roads.
Virginia colonists, it is said, carried
the practice into Tennessee, Kentucky
and Indiana, and their children. In
turn, carried it into .Missouri.
Originally Missouri bad no counties.
Later. when tliey were formed, the
state decided that if the task were left
to the counties there would he little
road building Accordingly, the state
constructed the roads and marked
thetu with tin-** rntehes. Later,
when the counties undertook to build
roads, they were designated In the
timber country In two notches. I'rior
to and during t'ie war between the
states tiie dMiwIlou was preserv
ed. and three notch roads were al
ways "through roads" that led frotu
one town ot Importance to another.
Two notch roads were less importing
highways, and road* not notched at
all were , either rail roads or plank
roads. A rail road was a road leading

11 plauk road led to a sawuiill.—
