THE MEXICAN PROBLEM -fy elfish interests are insisting J,V that the United States recog lJ nlse the Huerta government In j -Mexico: President Wilson Is being unjustly criticised because he withholds recognition. These criti cisms have All the earmarks of be ting Inspired either by selfish inter ests or by paTtiaan prejudice What ever their inspiration, they are evi dence that an attempt is being made to force the president into ac jtlon contrary to tbe dictates of hu jmanity and American precedent. ; It Is well at this time , to xecall ;ths fact that the United States did - not reoognlse tbe Piss government, the strongest and most brilliant this , neration has seen in Mexico, untJI nearly a year and a half after1' Dias had declared Jhlmsclf . ruler. ' Dial j., , :.. ..... Is such wholesale manslaughter but a reckless disregard for everything that makes for civilization. Investigation at the Asch tragedy showed that there was fire hose on the fatal floor, but no means of properly connecting it with the wa ter pipes. It also showed that for lack of care some of the pipes were not In working order. ' The price of -neglect was ) 4 J4 - Uvea sacrificed. u Our slaughter by fire Is appalling. In five great fires since 19.03,, the loss of life was 2100. They were the Colllngswood school, the Iro quois theatre, the General Slocum, the Asch building and the Boyer- town picture show, We burn up half as many build ings 88 we erect every year. Set aide by side, the buildings we burn would line both sides of an avenue all the way from New York to Chicago. If placed at regular In tervals, the maimed and marred are enough to post a sentinel every 1000 feet along this grim death alley. The dead so placed would make a charred body every three quarters of a mile. If we were as prudent with fires as European nations are, we would save enough property every year tc pay for the Panama canal. THE NEW PRISON REFORM N' EW YORK is amazed at in human conditions and prac tices permitted at Sing Sing prison. Disease breeding quarters, housing conditions that would bring the health authorities down upon a private establishment, human beings forced to live as beasts are not asked to live, have been disclosed by investigators. New York has been awakened . to the state's crime and now proposes to put the prison In order. But the Sun says: We shall not congratulate the Mat merely necauae It ceaaea to infer tta prlaoneta with dlaeaae, reduce them to a level of existence below that In stinctively maintained by baaata, and force them into corruption ao vile that even trained Investigators blanch when iniquities are reveaiea. were wa to ten tne truth about Sinr Ring the Hun would b excluded from the mails and banished from the homes of de cent men. -Can the present proposal to romedy auch conditions b called any thing except a too tardy reparation to outraged humanity? The Sun is alive to the new idea of prison reform, of which Ore gon is giving practical demonstra tion. Two objects must be kept In view. One is punishment; the other 13 reclamation from evil ways and restoration to usefulness in tbe community. Restoration Is to be brought about by education, the es tablishment of health; the, correc tion or wrong ideas, the rousing of self respect. "A prison devoted only to the detention of malefactors is no better than a bedlam given over solely to the restraint of mad men." Probation systems before and af ter the prison sentence, reductions of sentences for good behavior; rec ognition of the- possibility -of re form; faith that ail men stln have a spark of manhood left In them; actus!, practical demonstration At the reconstruction spirit all these sre of the essence of modern orison reform.. - a 7 - , The state is jiinder obligation to clothing for a limited period. He is undertaking to bring them to ma turity, educated, trained in some in dustry, ready to assume their places as citizens. Every man haB his 'own way of serving humanity. Carnegie builds libraries and Rockefeller builds uni versities. Charles Page proposes to build men and women. THE ROOTS AND UMOOTS SENATORS ROOT AND SMOOT are again invoking the con stitution. Senator Root pro fesses worriment lest the con stitution interfere with practical operation of the amendment giving the people right to elect their United States senators. Senator Smoot sounds a warning that the constitution ma be used to hold up the tiew tariff law. Threat of the courts against an equitaDie tariff is the threat of a sandbagger. Smoot falls to appro elate the fact that he and his kind are rapidly destroying their last bul wark. They fall to realize that courts are beginning to listen to the people part of the time. Courts are becoming cognizant of the Improp er influences which have sometimes defeated them. The time Is passing when courts may be used to con tinue a defeat of the people's ex pressed will. Smoot is fighting tariff reduction where the battle should be fought He Is losing, but It Is doubtful If the courts will ally themselves on tbe side of retreating privilege. Law does not dictate such an al liance; self - preservation warns against it. Root, deprived of power by the r constitutional amendment placing election of senatprs with the people themselves, also seeks an al liance with tbe courts, the court In this case being the United States senate passing upon tho qualifica tions of members. . The "constitutional" point raised that . after the people actually elect a senator there Is, in many states, nobody authorized to Issue the certificate of election. That Is to say, 'tinder" the Root brand of constitutional law a , technicality may be used to defeat the expressed will of an entire people of a nation. No wonder the people have 'demand ed that modern Interpretations, of the constjtutlon displace Root In Ambassador- page is said to be paying more than his salary for London house "rent, but might try the experiment of abridging him self to a. paraaraDh. Rockefeller may qualify all right as a "rose, bush in the Lord's gar den,M but will be thriftily inter ested In saving every scent. . PERTINENT COMMENT AND NEWS IN.
