T": killing of seventeen Americans in Mexico by Villa bandits is @ grave and deplorable outrage. The United States Gov- ernment has every reason to cal] Carranza to account. Nor, in view of this dastardly crime, is it to be wondered that Congress and the American public are more than ever insistent in! their demands to know what bas been going on in Mexico since the | | recognition of the de facto Government. At the eame time to say that the Chihuahua murders prove the impotency or faithlessness of Carranza is foolish. | ‘The killing was done by bandite. Parts of Mexico are still in-, feasted with sullen remnants of beaten factions. The Villistas have| been the strongest and worst of these malcontents. So great a men- ace did they carlier institute in Sonora and Chihushua thet even after the United States decided to recognize Carranza Americans were warned to leave these provinces. The recent quiet of Villa’s follow-, ere has proved misleading. Against bandits and guerrillas police and armies in all countries | have had to put up at best a long, slow fight. It is not td be ex-| pected that any Government could have 60 soon cleared all Mexico of, the refuse of years of revolution. Neverthcless the Chihuahua murders ought to lead to an Imme- diate and thorough overhauling of Carranza. How far has he tried! to make good his pledges to protect Americans? If he has been lax he must answer for it. outlags still prowl beyond the Rio Grande? ——___-4¢ ANOTHER INVASION. E ARE glad to note that public sentiment promptly asserts W itself against the preposterous proposal to fence off # part of Central Park for the benefit of a group of wealthy pe- geant promoters. Amphitheatre, grandstands, mammoth stage, the large meadow closed indefinitely—the presumptuousness of the plan is smiazing! If the echeme were to go through we should presently hear that | al} theae structures ought to become permanent and « portion of the! park to be taken away from the public and formally dedicated to com- munity masques and other pastimes of culture. Luckily the ownership of Central Park is not in doubt. The title | is clear. It belongs to the people. Any city official who presumes to hand over any section of it for private or semi-private use exceeds his powers. A A worthy Shakespeare festival can be held in this city without eommandeering Central Park. Mr. Otto Kahn and his associates are amply able to pay for a suitable place in which to present the master- pieces of Mr. Percy Mackaye. It is to be hoped the citizens of New York and their official rep- . resentatives will express themselves concerning this latest attempt to - appropriate public park space for private uses in terms that will be once and for all understood. ‘ _—__-lO th LEND A HAND. ONTRIBUTIONS to the fund for extending the work of the Boys’ Club Association gather volume each day. The canvass in behalf of the youngsters has been wisely and efficiently conducted. The investment is gilt edged. Dividends of good citizenship are guaranteod. ‘The streets of the city may be a wonderful school for developing sharp wits and shrewd business sense. But unless pupils in this school have something to counteract the effect of hard knocks and dangerous environment, what sort of adult citizens do they make? Only a few hours a week in a clubhouse, with gymnasium, hooks, magazines, clean talk and simple ideale of health and manliness can put the i leaven into thousands of boyish hearts struggling against sinister surroundings, It should be an easy thing in this great and wealthy city to raise $500,000 in ten days for such a cause. | Remember the youngsters of the streets who know little kind- ness and need it most, sesaciceiennphncenpensnirtatincshenees A THRIFT CAMPAIGN. HE Thrift Campaign started by The Evening World in co- T operation with the American Bankers’ Association coincides with something more than the year that marks the one hun- dredth anniversary of the founding of the first savings bank in the Dnited States. It coincides with the opening of what promises to be the busiest, most prosperous era the country has ever known. When millions are being made extravagance keeps open house. Speculation does its dazzling dance. Excitement, recklessness take) possession of rich and poor alike. It will be so this year. | All this is not prosperity. It is merely the froth of prosperity. The millions of salaried workers and wage earners who seize upon| their modest shere of better times and build it as well as they know how into foundations upon which their wives and children can live safe and happy lives—they are the real makers and ‘the real en- joyers of prosperity. It is to them The Evening World offers a chance to state their problems, compare notes and benefit by one another's experience. What they do with the money they earn is a question of deep and vital interest to thousands and thousands of younger people beginning life and anxious to start on a sure and solid basis.
