But It la equally sure that the adhesion of these great nations to arbitration treaties would add enormously to the unlikelihood.

MEXICAN PEACH C lONDITIONS have appeared that seem to augur an early peace in Mexico. A peace pact has been signed at Juarez. By Its ( terms, the revolutionists are to have air of the eight members of the cabinet, and changes of governors ' are to be made In the various states. Dla. according to the latest report, Is to resign Wednesday, and sail 1m , mediately thereafter for Europe. . Madero has taken formal leave of , sis army, and preparations are be ing made for the Immediate begin ning of his 48 hour trip to the Mex ican capital. There are forecasts that it will take on the character of a triumphal Journey with the rebel . leader everywhere hailed as a con queror. The stream of telegrams' now pouring In on him from the city or Mexico Is some evidence of the .light In which he Is to be accepted - by many of the Mexican people. If Madero Is of commanding men tality, a great opportunity lies be fore him. The country Is ripe for reform. Even the Das regime In Its various manifestos has confessed . the need of reform. A leadership of ample capacity can Institute educa . tlve processes and a compelling con trol to effect highly beneficial changes In the character aqd capac ity of the Mexican people. It Is a work that Diaz ought to have done. Had his later years been , devoted more to amelioration of the conditions In the Mexican common . silty and less to the interests of 'American Big Business In Mexico, I power would not now be slipping a thoroughbred, but he was only a pony. And the same fate that ex alted him has, with relentless Jus tice, taken away all that It gave. Schmltz and Ruef had their time, and must pay the price. We all have sooner or later to pay the price. PAROLED PRISOXERfl ADA IX CAX- r HE PAROLE system has been in operation In Canada for 12 years. During that time 3750 prisoners have been released from prisons and penitentiaries. Of these over 2600 have earned full liberty. Nine hundred are still re porting to the authorities. The to tal failures by cancellation and for feiture of the privilege In the 12 years up to March 81, 1911, has been only 5.7 per cent, the per centage by cancellation was 3.5 of men who failed to report. The per centage by forfeiture 2.2. These figures are given by the dominion parole officer, Archbold now on hla annual vjslt to New Westminster. His duties are to per sonally examine all convicts eligible for parole. He goes Into their his tory, learns of their fall Into crime,' their environments, looks up their records and antecedents, and takes Individual notes of each Interview. These notes are filed for reference when considering paroles. The ap plications from all prisons are for warded to hlra wherever he may be, sometimes thousands of miles frm the penitentiary sending them. When a prisoner is paroled care Is taken that be gets away from for mer environments. Work Is founi for him elsewhere, and some one in the new community Is entrusted with his" secret and Is charged -with taking a friendly Interest In him. He Is given a chance to regain his manhood, Independence and self re spect. Last year there were released on parole from Canadian prisons 660 men. Mr. Archbold says that' in New Westminster on this visit he has responsible for bad government in cities. A court has dismissed the Indict ments against George B. Cox, Re publican boss of Cincinnati. Sworn testimony before a grand Jury was to the effect that as city boss he re ceived from one city treasurer 48,- 000 interest on public money, and from another $17,600. Resistance to the Indictment has Included! every kind of device. For a tfme Cox was In hiding. A change of venue from one Judge to another was secured on the contention that the first was prejudiced. The whole effort of Cox was directed to pre venting the case from coming to trial Men who are conscious of their own innocence ought not to fear a trial before a court of Justice. The unwillingness of Boss Cox to submit his case to a constitutional Jury Is one of the remarkable phases In this remarkable case. A fear that the facts might be proven If the matter ever got into a court must have been the reason for the tremendous forces that have been employed to kill the Indictments. A less consequential defendant than a political boss would have had to go Into court and face the music. The dismissal of the Cox indict ments shows how valuable It some times is to be a boss.

HETHER GERMANY will w eventually sign the counter part of the Anglo-American pact of peace through arbi tration lies, of course, absolutely In the future. The solid fact that ad vances to that end have been begun by the administration of President Taft in communications to Berlin is the necessary foundation for an un derstanding. It shows courage on the part of the president to take that Initiative In face of the so recent picture drawn by the German chancellor of a general arbitration agreement aa an Impossible ideal. On the other hand, there are two Inducements for the president's action. The first, that all Germans except those in the higher ranks of the array and in the party of the conservatives, will hail the possibil ity of peace with honor.
