STRANGE HEU-FELI-OWS. Our attention is called to the commendation given I'res't Wilton by the Indianapolis Star for his insistence upon the appointment of (Jeore Jj.ul.lre on the fclrnl trad commission. It is even more interesting to note the Star's '.'enunciation of Sen. (Millinger, who opposes the appointment f Mr. liable'. The h't;:r rays: "Mr. ('..illinu'cr di.. not Uke Mr. KuLlce because Mr. Icuhlee had the independence to be a progressive in and to oppose rl'.e inner circle of i publican stand pat highbinder ot which Mr. Galliner is a leading member." Nov , thi i.s proinf? some for a newspaper that is llrectly supporting in the cainpa'i.n all that is advocated :.-nd desired by rucli "highbinders" as Ciallinger, Cannon, llcmetiuay, I'cnro.se, Watson, Goodrich, Ktalir.2, Fairhanks. New, and all the other bosses who are always, and always have been opposed not only to former progressives individually and collectively hut to all the good laws and reforms that they have ever advocated. "Highbinders" sounds like the things the Star and Ali.ert Jeremiah used to call them.

THE PUBLIC AND THE STRIKE. It hardly tu be expected; it never was to be expected that the outcome of the threatened railroad .-ttike. could ever prove entirely satisfactory to both the c artie?. the directly interested parties, to the con. test The better prospect is, and has always been, that it would be satisfactory to neither, in its entirety, and iSiut prospect still holds good. As to the third party. houw r. as ita lly interested, as either the employers or the trainmen, "sane sensibility" for lack of a better term. it would seem, might be willing to accept an adjustment, in fact, most any adjustment that would .-.te them from the inconvenience and annoyance, say nothing of the great loss hound to result from a strike ipheival. I'res't Wilson undertook to represent the public in the matter ef bringing about such an adjust-:.o-nt. and with the aid ol -ougress is still pursuing his ourse, but s-omehow it appears that the "sane sensiiUt" that might ha been expected of the people. Iris io a degree, at least, gone insant particular reference being made to that portion of the public that is politically "an' t'' just now, :nd which, grasping for .nr. thing out of which to i onco. t an issue, would seemingly lather se the country plunged to eternal ruin than miss their ' political pie." Added to this inane j artisanshi p. i another brand of citizenship, uualibed by neither brains nor money to lift its heid aboe an ordinaiy circus baboon, which in its snobbishness is running rampant with criticism of the president, and pretending while doing so. to belong to the plutocrat x. ome of these are occupying editorial chairs, and the sanctums of more than one, are located within a radius of a hundred miles some of them considerably within that radius. Not knowing a lundamental principle from their funny bones; void (.f c er sen.ce of public proportions, and hemmed in on all sides by their greed, or panderings to greed, we have here a snob plutocracy, bound body, soul and britches, to tlie real plutocr.K y, and depended upon to

evidently vaid to themselves that Hughes is "a glib critic." and then went back home to attend to their own personal, immediate a flairs, in u condition of mind sometimes described as general apathy. Apathy is a dangerous condition for a party that's out, and Mr. Hughes' sojourn on the coast may he correctly described as a very pleasant and politically harmless visit to folks who were right glad to see him. He started

j no conflagration whatever. deemed to be without 1 matches. I I However, when Mr. Hughes reached southern Cali

fornia they tried to steer him so that somebody, somewhere, somehow, could "start something" and thus relieve his tour of the awful monotony of saying things that get nowhere. Here's the tip they gave Charley: "Nowhere is the importance of protection more fully appreciated than in San Diego county, second in rank in the state as a producer of lemons." So. Hughes made love to lemons:. But, drat the luck! Just now there isn't hot politics in even lemons. Owing to the war and to Mr. Wilson's having kept us out of the war. IT. S. lemon growers arc getting prices that make them get up nights to go out and pet their lemon trees. The best that Mr. Hughes could tell them was that, if it hadn't been for the war, they'd be in th9 poor house now, and most of them, belonging to a nice combine that's for the purpose of keeping up prices, know better than that. However, Mr. HuKhes aroused pretty warm enthusiasm over lemons. 'Being sincere for lemons, he got such a hearty reception that we rather expect to see considerable lemon in his future speeches'.

IT COSTS TOO MUCH. The rest of the Union has a kind of an idea that Kansas is prosperous and takes good care of its citizens. From the way Kansans talk about their state one might naturally be led to think something of the sort. Hut Dr. Dydia A. De Vilbiss asked the state hoard of control to give children of the state orphans' home at Atchison dental inspection and service. Atchison dentists had offered to provide the service at cost for the benefit of the children. A prosperous, sensible, kindly state of course jumped at this offer to help its children to grow up strong and avoid the evils which always come in the wake of dental neglect? Well, not exactly. The stnte board of control of prosperous, sensible, kindly Kansas refused the offer. This is why it refused : In the first place, it would cost to.) much.. Then, other state institutions, led by this dangeroUg precedent, would also be wanting proper dental inspection and attention. This would make it even more expensive than just to take care of the orphans' teeth. Incidentally. Dr. De Vilbiss and the board of health were taking upon themselves more than they had a right to. They were always trying to start some kind of trouble for the board of control. And, finally, the whole scheme was too expensive to consider. States frequently have to save money somewhere. But could they not do it i.y putting a little more tttlciency into their road building, a little less hrac.s and marble into their public buildings, a little here and there in sane and harmless ways'.'

DI'iI.ADi:i.IHIA. Aug. :'.l. To the editors of the daily and periodical press of the Fnited States: Realizing the paramount influence

the press of our country has had. j and will hve in forming public opin- j Ion on the relations of the Fnited ,

States nnd Mexico, we appeal to ail editors to use their power in the interest of truth, sincerity and constructive statesmanship. The popular conception of the

Mexican situation is based on misinformation and ignorance. Very re

cently agitation and false ideas of

the personality and aim of the Mexican leaders might have forced a war with a people oppressed, impoverished and exploited, who should have only patient sympathy, and wise disinterested help from the government and citizens of our country. There is groat need for the press to place the facts before our people ar.d to interpret them in a broad and enlightened spirit. The people can learn the truth only through the press. The occasion requires reporters trained by experience and study to observe and record the events and movements of real siznificance. There is equally great need for constructive editorial service to interpret the facts in the generous spirit of th? true statesman and patriot. The fundamental facts of the situation are. we believe, as follows: Mexico suffers from the rnisgovcrnment of centuries. Th land has been, nnd is, held in vast tracts by private owners, of whom many are foreigners. While there are exceptions, nearly all these landholder hav for generations reduced their tenants to peonage, or practical serfdom, and have forced them into ignorance and depraved conditions of life. The vast natural resources of Mexico, in oil and minerals, have been made over by concessions to Khglish, German. French, Dutch and American owners on such terms that the national wealth flows to other lands, and the native Mexican labor is exploited so that the workers continue impoverished and unenlightened. The dictatorial nnd autocratic power of earlier presidents crushed out the democratic spirit and imposed throughout Mexico the rule of unscrupulous and all-powerful local political agents, who manipulated elections, administered the laws to suit the interests in power, and ruled with ruthless military authority. Education, marriage and other social institutions have been church monopolies, and there have resulted ignorance and general neglect of what we consider common duties of decent living. Insurrection, revolution and local anarchy have prevailed for a period of years. From the chaos some order is gradually appearing. In the judgment of men competent to form an intelligent and fair opinion, the socalled first chief and his assistants are endeavoring honestly and with a fair measure of success to restore government and redress the ageold wrongs of the Mexican people. A large number of the states are at peace. As rapidly and justly aspossible land is allotted to small holders on terms that guarantee continued cultivation of the soil and the independence of the workers. The local political autocrats of the earlier regime are being gradually supplanted by duly constituted civil officers, who represent the best element in their communities. The church monopolies are abridged and education and other important matters are placed under civil authority. In a number of states traffic in alcoholic drinks has been abolished with immediate good results. There has developed an intense rivalry" .among the different states to see which can organize the greatest number of schools. Already there are said to he 20 times as many schools as in the last epoch of Pres't Diaz, and under the influence of Carranza ."00 teachers have been sent to the t'nited States to study modern pedagogy and school administration. Several of the states, chiefly in the north, near the t'nited States border, are unsettled and in insurrection. Boving bands of outlaws are abroad and lawless leaders are making trouble. For a time such men will make raids and commit depredations not

He quits the presence of his kind in sorrow and disgust. And goesto spend his days in some cenvenient hut or cave Where he will never need a bath, a hair cut cr a shave. The hermit s not the only man who lives for self alone. Though others may not make it so conspicuously known. They stifle their affections in a cold and pulseless shell; The only love they have is love of things to luv and sell; The only measure they possess for people and events is found in their unfeeling scale of profits and percent?.

over the border in the United States. The boundary between the Fnited States and Mexico is 1.7." 6 mile Ion-, as far as from New York to Denver. Most of this distance is wild mountain and desert country, without roads and with very little water. For hundreds of miles there is no railroad on the Mexican side, and troops of either country must be transported on the Fnited States railroad. Such a border cannot be patrolled so as to prevent occasional incursions by outlaw bands, and it is more criminal than foolish for the press to urge such chance acts

of outlawry as a cause of war. These in briefest form are some slight curtailment of the proposed of the facts the people of the Fr.it-(naval program. ed States are entitled to know.

AKi: WF LAW MAI? (Meridian. Miss., Star.) From good authority we learn that during the past 10 years lawmaking bodies in the states and nation have passed 62,550 laws. During the same period the F.ritish parliament passed 1.600 laws. Probably four-fifths of these American laws were made in response to the call of reformers of one kind and another, as it i.s the custom to demand a new law every time a neighbor's chicken flies over the fence or a dog growls or the ladies changt their style of dress. This fact calls for the suggestion from Commerce and Finance. Theodore H. Price's splendid periodical, that "the pay of congressmen be increased to $25fO0u a year raid that each representative ami senator pay for printing and the dissemination of every speech that he makes, of every bill that he introduces. of every argument that he advances, of every document that he sends through the mail, etc., etc. That the $25.00-0 cover his mileage and his secretary: that it cover the expenses of funeral junkets and other junkets and that he get not one cent from the Fnited States government or that be involve the Fnited States in any expense beyond this $23.000 a year limit. The same idea might be applied to state legislatures, the limit of payment being reduced to. say, $2,500 or $:t,000 basis." We do not believe such a chance as that suggested would afford the desired remedy inasmuch as it would still encumber the country with the large legislative bodies we now have, with laws made in conference committees rather than in the legislative bodies themselves. What is needed to secure a real reform in our lawmaking bodies Is smaller numbers of law makers in the nation, lor instance, from four to eight representatives and a single senator fiom each state, and a state body of proportionate size. With such a body in practically continous session, the members being paid fair salaries, the people would, we believe, be far better "represented' than they are now. and much of the present legislative waste would be eliminated.

tiik cjrrxno.v or fmkts. South Bend. Ind., Aug. 2. 1916. Kditor News-Times: Your valuable paper today contains an account of how two yotn,;' girls were on their way home the other evening and were invited for a ride by two men in a passing automobile. The girls accepted the invitation and after a short ride, just far enough to learn that they wortriding with devils instead of gentlemen, one of the girls jumped from the moving machine rather than to submit to the insults of the friend who was with her. She died shortly afterwards and of course the villains are still at large, ready to enduce more unsuspecting girls. This incident leads us to say a few words about the vile class f men that roatn the streets of South Bend, at all hours of day and night. I intend no retlection upon this fair city but as I have had experiences with some of these monsters. 1 am sure I do a service by calling it to your attention. I am from New York city and have- lived here for two years. I have traveled considerably and from my observations can truthfully say that South llend is the most well-governed representative city I have ever entereel. It is clean, ciuiet ard above all an American city. But we South Benders can learn a ksson from cosmopolitan New York and that lesson is how to deal with mashers. The magistrates there have power to impose a fine or impose a maximum sentence of six months on a prisoner charged with disorderly conduct. Mashing is the most wicked and detestable species of disorderly conduct. When a masher is arraigned before a magistrate in NewYork, he receives the six months in the workhouse. There is no easy fine and opportunity to repeat the c.ffense. The masher comes out of jail thoroughly cured and the rest of his class profit by his experience. Today in New York a wife, sister or any respectable lady can walk on the street unmolested. But in South Bend conditions are different. My wife has been insulted en our busy streets here time and time again, but unfortunately I was not with her to thrash her annoyer. In one of our best restaurants recently I was obliged to ask the manager to warn a man at another table just to avoid a scene. And I have seen other ladies annoyed. Is it no longer safe or a lady to go shopping or to the movies or for a walk without being accosted and insulted by the huni vultures that infest our city'.' I hope to trap one of them some of these days and when I do he will receive? a good beating and 1 hope also a good jail sentence as a lesson ;o others. Very truly yours.
