NO TIME TO MEDIATE. Very appropriately there is to be no A. B. C. conference to mediate our troubles with Mexico. It is a wise decision on the part of the administration. The de facto government is up against a condition, not a theory, just now, and it is a condition of her own making. The oriKina! conference at Argentina. Hrasil and Chili representatives at Niagara Kalis was not a failure, although it did not solve the Mexican problem. It was worth while because it OOfrYfj) to convince Latin-America of our disinterestedness. It waa v big step in the direction of genuine Fan-Americanism. It has determined the attitude of South America toward us ever since. A repetition of that conference at this time, however, would be farcical. It is no occasion for mediation.

and sells more goods. .Much advertising goes to itfM, no doubt; but the traveling salesman system tfl much more wasteful of money and time. Moreover, the salesman s salary and expenses "add to the cost of the nood.s without adding to its value or selling qualities." Advertising, while it is making immediate sales, does far more to establish goods as standard articles and OgOato permanent value. Goods sold by udorti:,inj arc sold on their merits, whereas goods sohl by a drummer may be sold only through personal appeal, which is local and transient. The salesman sometimes uses questionable methods to sell. The adWTtl U l.esn"t dare to. "Advertising is virtually a guarantee :n bold, unchanging type.' The drummer is a middleman, and the evolution of

business is eliminating middlemen.

"The economy and efficiency of the printed word." he says, 'need no eulogy from me. Retailors: recognize their need of the daily newspapers by their increasing use of them." "Things were different once upon a time before the railroads turned farms into cities. Then the original retailers were traders, and carried their goods crosscountry, seeking out buyers one at a time. Now the retailor draws the customers to his store in crowds, and advertising is the magnet Representative retailers are very particular about the goods they advertise, very mrpfni n to the exactness of their punted word.

ARMY SNOBBISHNESS. The army ca-ste system, which maintains an unbridgeable social gulf between officers wnd men, is said to be have disappeared from the l'.ritish army, under the streos of heavy loes and the necessity of officering a great volunteer armv. it disappeared from the French army at the very canning of the wir. It has gone from the Russian army and other Kuropean armies nly in Germany and the I'nited States are the rigid distinctions of military caste still observed.

bers of volunteers. The presence of the national guard, and its absorption into .he regular army, will be a powerful factor in this demoralization. Civilian troops will not swallow tvi. arrogance which, according to arinx tradition, goes properl) with l-braided uniforms. The guardsmen and the new volunteers will laugh at snobbishness And the endurance Of common hardships and perils w?i" have a wholcatome tendency in the same direction

GRADING RESTAUR ANTS. New York is grading its 5.000 or more restaurants according to health standards. A careful inspection of all public eating places is being made by the health de

partment. When it is concluded, every restaurant win given a certificate show im. its rating. It will be declared "good." "fair,"' or "bad." according to its degree f observance of the pure food and sanitation law and its treatment of its employes. It is expected that when the system is established, restaurant patrons on entering a place fpr the first time will insist on knowing its hvgienp rating before ordering their meals. In the case of a restaurant declared i "good." the certificate will no doubt 00 displayed con-

spicuously. and probably printed on every bill Ol fare. Presumably a place pronounced only "fair." will be rehefte.nt to admit its standing. And certainly no eating house will admit being labeled "bad" unless the confession is dragged from It. it is hoped that the advertising value and prestige lent by a favorable verdict from the health department will lead naturally to a general improvement in the quality of food, cleanliness of kitchen and carefulness of service.

Cleveland is contemplating the adoption of the same system, applying it also to groceries and other mer

mean our Indiana boys are to be under that officer's direct charge. The facr the state is entitled to such an appointment is proof of the patriot ic spirit of the people of Indiana. It means we have hastened to till out lepleted companies and to recruit a regiment in short order to complete the brigade of Indiana guardsmen. It means our young men have responded readily and in large numbers to the call of country and flag. In Indiana had an Opportunity to select a representative Indiana officer to be made a brigadier general of volunteers. The bite Henry W. Iawton was our opportunity. Politics of a small brand prevented the state from accepting Favvton. and that historic name went on to glory enrolled with tho regulars. Today we profit by the lesson learned in 1 S98. Gov. Kalston is to be congratulated as well as commended for going to the regular army for an Indiana brigade commander. Even though he does not lead all-Indiana troops, let us have a regular soldier a Indiana's choice for high command.

It is estimated that at least one farm out of every 20 is working in some way with the department of agriculture and hus has become a center of advanced agricultural information for its community. In addition to the farmers who work directly with the department of agriculture, there are thousands of others who render a similar valuable service to the scientists and f;ld workers of the state agricultural colleges and experiment stations. With such a large number of farmers willing to work with the department and the colleges and test out their recommendations, it is clear that a significant change has taken place from the day when the average farmer was decidedly skeptical about scient ftc agriculture and slow or unwilling to give attention to the recommendations of what many used td designate as "book farmers."
