MORTGAGED HOMES. There was recently published a statement relative to the ownership of homes in New York state. According to that statement the number of homes other than "farm houses'.' was 2,240,931, of which 597,753, or 26.7 per cent were owned by the occupants. Of these owned homes, 329 438, or 551. per cent was mortgaged. Thus, over half of the private homes in New York state are mortgaged. Possibly this exhibit of mortgaged homes is exceptional. Study of the 1920 census statistics on the subject seems to indicate that in large industrial states the number of mortgaged homes is greater than in agricultural states, bith in number and percentages. Indeed, such indications hold good with the exception of states where farming is conducted on a large scale. In no such state, however, are farm mortgages on the average of long duration, they evidently being cleared by crop sales within a few years. Mortgages on private homes invariably extend over large periods. ' Farm mortgages are for "business" pur

poses. Mortgages on private homes, on the other hand, are a means to the end of homeowning. Home-owning is incentive to saving, and is more thrifty when it comes within earning capacity than rent-paying is. This is why such organizations as building and loan associations encourage the buying and building of homes whenever there is enough capital and future prospects to warrant Mortgaged homes are much more creditable than rented homes. In spite of the mortgage the home-owner galn3 a different and more advantageous status in society. He gives evidence of substantiability and permanency, and has credit he otherwise would rot have.

to be handicapped by a complication thought to have been disuposed of. Since the meeting was called to discuss Mexico's external debt with good prospects of a solution being found, the ugly head of a revolution has been bobbing up south of the Rio Grande. Rebel bands are reported in almost every state. What this portends for President Obregon and the country may be judged from history made in the last decade. The administration will have to devote itself to putting down insurrection, and it may be assumed that it is not well situated to do so from the fact that it is not' proceeding energetically against the rebels in advance of their taking on formidable aspect. For outsiders the significance of this is that the stabilization in Mexico which has been boasted is unreal. And if pacification and stabilization have not been effected it is useless to bargain with Obregon on the foreign debt of his country or nay other subject.

CHANGING THE RULES. With Chief Justice Taft planning a trip to England to see why British courts seem to operate more satisfactorily, and the United States thamber of Commerce setting up business courts for the adjustment of business disputes by business men with "no chance of the result turning on a technicality or rule of which neither disputant ever thought," there comes a session of the committee on law enforcement of the American Bar Association "at which the rules of evidence were actually debated. Chief City Magistrate McAdoo of New York said the prestige of the courts is hurt with laymen because of the "subtle and metaphysical rules of evidence. The layman cannot understand them and I don't blame him. If he ever does get to understand them the layman will certainly insist on their abolition. Honest men are seldom found appealing to the constitution. As soon as a man gets to be a rascal he runs to the constitution. An honest man that has been robbed has no constitutional rights." If this sort of criticism keeps up laymen may get to understand.
