COLUMBUS, WHERE ART THOU?
Proposal of the management of the San
Francisco Exposition to have the interna-
tional naval parade through the Canal
headed by an American flagship carrying
the bones of Columbus has raised anew the
rival claims of Spain and Santo Domingo as
to possession of the casket of the discoverer.
It is proposed to have the parade, which
is to start from Hampton Roads, call at
San Salvador and stop at Santo Domingo,
where the bones of Columbus are to be
taken on board and conveyed to San Fran-
cisco. The idea has been endorsed by Sena-
tor Ashurst, chairman of the exposition
committee of the Senate.
Santo Domingo says that the bones of
Columbus still rest in the cathedral of Santo
Domingo, while Cuba and Spain assert that
they were placed in the Habana Cathedral
in the year 1796. But the Dominicians re-
tort that the casket moved to Cuba with
so much pomp at that time did not con-
tain the bones of the navigator, but those
of his son. General Weyler, during the
Spanish war, threatened that if intervention
were begun the bones would be thrown into
the sea. Later the Habana casket was
taken to Seville.
The question of the possession has not
formally been taken up by the State De-
partment, however. Cuba and Spain will
oppose recognition by the United States of
the Dominician casket. The best authori-
ties, it is said, now generally believe that
Columbus’s bones are at Santo Domingo,
and that it is the body of Diego Colum-
bus, his son, which occupies the Seville
casket.

BORAH’S ENTHUSIASM.
Senator Borah has made a “keynote
speech” for the guidance of Republicans
and Progressives in Michigan. Some months
ago a former candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency, Speaker
Clark, brought out Borah as the “logical
man” for the Republcans to nominate for
President. Borah has shown his excitement
over the suggestion, and has never failed
to grab an opportunity to tell Republicans
and Progressives just how “the thing can
be successfully done.” The Borah hopes
are high!
PROPOSES PANAMA “QUARTER”
Representative Metz, of New York, has
recommended in the House that the gov-

coin would be of standard weight and fine-
ness of the value of twenty-five cents.
MEXICO’S FOREIGN TRADE INCREASES
Recent figures issued in a statement by
the Pan-American Union at Washington
indicate a remarkable vitality in the Re-
public of Mexico. Notwithstanding ts af-
public of Huerta, Carranza, Villa and
their pillaging soldiers, the country shows
commercial progress. The Statement says
in part: “The entire foreign trade of Mex-
ico, both exports and imports, amounted
in 1912-1913 to $248,088,977 (United States
gold dollars), while in the corresponding
period of the previous year it amounted to
$240,325,719. If the exports are consider-
ed separately, it will be found that there is
an encouraging increase in that movement,
the total quantity exported being $150,
202,808, against $148,994,564, and that ev-
en compared with 1910-1911 a gain was
shown. In imports for 1912-1913 Mexico
used $997,886,169, and this too, was above
the amount in the previous year, although
the banner year 1910-1911, was higher by
a very small amount.”

HE FIGHTS REELECTION.
In these days when each succeeding Con-
gressional election produces thousands of
men struggling for seats in the national law-
making body, the spectacle of a man ac-
tually fighting to get out of Congress is so
unusual as to make it noteworthy. Repre-
sentative Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis,
veteran of eleven Congresses, is in this posi-
tion.
Last December Mr. Bartholdt informed
his constituents in a formal statement that
he did not wish again to be a candidate. A
deluge of telegrams and letters of protest
was the result. Nearly every voter in his
district requested him to reconsider. It
soon became necessary to employ extra
stenographers to take care of his mail on
the subject. Mr. Bartholdt issued another
formal statement, and still the constitu-
ents wrote.
Now he has established campaign head-
quarters, operating at full blast, just like
a score of other headquarters in the House
Office building but the Bartholdt headquar-
ters operate to prevent an election being
forced upon a man who does not want it.
An organized effort to keep out of Con-
gress, being an entirely new proposition,
The Times has been actively
interested in the subject of
good streets for Texas City for
some time. The news of the re-
pairs on Texas Avenue road be-
tween here and La Marque,
which are being made by the
county, is printed in today’s is-
sue. Might this not be a sug-
gestion for the improvement of
the streets of our ' city, which
were primarily built by private
interests, and later donated to
the city, which in turn kept them
in repair during the past four
or five years, but has, in the
last few months, neglected some
of them ?
The filling in with shell of a
few small holes in the Texas
Avenue road about twice a year
keeps the road in excellent con-
dition, and the upkeep and main-
tenance in this way is a- very
small item of expense, but when
holes as great in size as those
in some of our thoroughfares
are allowed to go from month to
month until all of the shell pav-
ing is broken through, and blows
away, requires yards and yards
of shell instead of a few shovel-
fulls.
A few wagon loads of shell
properly applied at the proper
time would keep the streets in
first class condition and minim-
ize the cost of repairs. The
fact that the appropriation for
the purchase of material for St.
repairs has been used up since
April 15, is no reason why more
streets should not receive im-
mediate attention. The former
administration kept up the
streets by going ahead with the
work and paying for it when
taxes were collected. Why can
not this continue?
When paving comes the peo-
ple of the city will pay their
share for the improvement as is
the case in all cities. The Times
is ready to contribute its pro
rata towards having Sixth street
made a model thoroughfare and
