DEBAUCHING THE REPUBLIC C UNSCAUBEI) T T iVO Incidents described in yes terday's Journal were of con spicuous significance. The firnt was the fat;t that the victorious constitutionalist:? 1 ' swept into Tanipico shouting Viva W'lUson as loudly as Viva Villa and agents of Viva Carranza. that in a spiritof witnout r'( great friendship the rebel soldiers embraced the Americans and called them brothers, and that, instead of giving the city over to loot and rapine, (hey closed the saloons, made life and property safe, es tablished order, and jvith great celerity and effectiveness set about the task of perfecting the city's sanitation. The other episode was the speech "of General Villa at the banquet given him by the American news paper men. He said: 1 am nothing hut a plain soldier ml the words you will hear me utter now will he the words of an uncul tured man. I 'ti fortunately for my Keif. I never had an opportunity to receive an education. What little I know of reading and writing 1 taught myself. Ah you Americans would nay, 'I picked It up." so what I will say iwlll he la plain words, hut neverthe less words that com'' from the. heart. Hcnors, for the first time In my II fo I am going to propose a toast and for the first time. In my life I am coins- to drink a toast, and itwwill have been the first time in my life that I ever willingly let liquor pass my Hps, but the occasion demands. You gentlemen should be proud of the fact that you are Americans; that you represent the press of the greatest nation on earth, ruled by the greatest man alive, your President Wilson. Let me fill my class to the rim. my friends, so that we may all drink to the health of the great American. In the light of such incidents, how mean and petty is much of the criticism leveled against President Wilson's Mexican policy! By his gentle attitude toward them, the president has won the admiration and friendship of the constitutionalists. He has won their confidence and Is teaching them civilization. Under his ex ample, their entry Into Tampico was as Christianlike as the entry of the Americans into Vera Cruz. At Tampico the n.tme of the American president was on their lips, and the preservation of life and property was their first con cern. Before Saltillo, the redoubt able Villa hailed Woodrow Wil son as "the greatest man alive." The men and the armies who figured in these incidents are sboxj to be air Mexico, ir Muerta does not eliminate himself, they will eliminate him. If mediation fails, they will not. They will solve the Mexican problem and It will be s solution by Mexicans without American invasion at a cost of tons of money, thousan s of lives, months if not yearB of guerilla warfare, and fifty years of future hatred and hostility for the United States by the Mexican people. No more troublesome problem ever confronted an American pres ident. For more than a year the ' Jingoes at home, special Interests here apd In Europe, and Huerta at Mexico City, have made the sit uation almost intolerable to the president. But. patient under it all, silent In the face of persecution. Wood row VVIlaon visioned the deliver ance of Mexico without American artillery, and on, the gentle doc trine of peace on earth good will to man, a vision that seems almost realized. If. however, the unexpected should happen, and war become unavoidable, the American people will always know that the hand of their government Is clean and the purpose of their nation un i scarred. " GMMBNTfXG on President Wilson's order forbidding the employment of strikebreakers in the Colorado mining dis trict, the New York World says: The president's order Is wise and timely. The men who are striking today are the strike breakers of ten yt.irs ago. They displaced American workingmen. They were newcomers, recruited at New York and other sea ports. They were desperate then. They are more desperate now. Many a great American fortune had Its beginnings in the profits wrung from the dire necessities of under paid imported. -labor. -"When the laws prohibited direct operations of this kind, the .steamship companies as sumed tiie responsibility.

Once in the United States, these poor dupes of millionaire steamship corporations becoine the prey of other millionaire corporations, whose whole pursuit, is profit, whose whole aim is power, whose whole thought of the Republic is how it may servo them and their greed, and whose whole conception of people is how they may be robbed, oppressed and plundered to fill the money chests of Mam mon. More than thirty languages are spoken among the miners in the Rockefeller mines in Colorado.

People may argue until they fee come black in the face, but they can never wipe out the adamantine fact that a toll charged at Panama on Oregon goods en route to Gulf or Atlantic ports will be taken out of the Oregon producer's pocket. That is why not a single organ ization has declared in favor of charging tolls on coastwise traffic, and why scores have declared against it.

Wo MODKKMSM AT SEATTLE UK spi i'i t of modernism is fer menting in two of Seattle's churches. It is reported that the pastor and sixty members of the congregation of the Temple Baptist church have withdrawn and thai the pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church has resigned owing to a lack of unity. The question at issue seems to be that of social service. The radi cals demand that the churches be come institutional in character and do social service work. The con servatives would save the churches from desecration as social centers and use them merely as places for more or less dry sermons on Sun day. in explanation of his resignation the Reverend Luther Little says: I won-Id stn- in Seattle the remain der of my life if I could have an In stitutional church in which to do my work.

Noftsinger admits there is a division in his church. The nature or the divis ion is indicated in his statement that, one faction wanted to make the church into a club and the l others wanted to bar the doors against any but the elect. To the impartial observer, it seems impossible that social ser vice by the churches can, in the slightest, dim the lustre or detract from the real aim ol! true Chris tianity.

Pershing has -ever sutrered rrom too mucn ratner in law. But it is quite within the bonds of the most scrupulous veracity to say that the soldier has from time to time been irritated by this surplusage of relative by marriage. Rccause there isn't anything that Pershing could do. from leading a forlorn hope through Hades to demonstrating the fourth di mension, that some wise constituent would not cast aspersions on. "Ah," General Pershing's friends would say, "pretty soft for Pershing, huh? You know, he is the son in law of Senator Warren of Wyoming."

It is as .certain and as unavoidable as the law of gravity. It is as fixed and inexorable as the ocean tides. Cost of haul is the chief funda mental In fixing rates. Artificial arrangements may prevail for a time, but as Collis P. Huntington said, "man cannot change to any considerable extent the works of nature." There may be competition in which one company or another, or both, may carry traffic below the cost of haul. But it cannot be for lone. Gentleman'H noroo. ments may for a time raise the rates far above the cost of haul. but competition, at least, on the ocean and inland waterways, at tracted by the large profits, will soon appear. How cost of haul ultimately gov erns, is shown in the fact that on country roads the average rate charged for moving goods is 25 cents per ton-mile. On hard sur faced roads on easy grade, such as those In France, the charge drops to ten cents per ton-mile. On the railroads of the United States, a means of transportation far lower In cost of haul than on country roads, the'' average rate in 19 07 was 7.82 mills, or less than one cent per ton-mile. The same year, on merchandise and products shipped in and out of Lake Suber lor by vessels, the average rate was time on irrigation projects has j ertve all these people a -short approach. ureu lavorauiy reported uy toe sen ate committe.e on irrigation and Is under consideration In the house committee.

Do those who are defending the saloon have the temerity to tell Intel ligent men and women that the pres ent saloon business has any semblance of a fair, honest and upright business? If tho business is legitimate and noble, why do the saleons open long before the dawn of day and remain is gone and the le the business General Pershing's case Is of timely interest Just now because he has re cently taken over the command of a division of troops on the Mexican bor der, with headquarters at tort Bliss. Various commanding officers had had these troops in training for some time before Pershing got there. The troops got a little light road work in the morning, with a few fast rounds in the gym in the afternoon, and the movies at nirht. They were fed wholly upon pepper ' ! raw meat. So that when Pershing I -ommand of them the only thing he had to do as to hold them back. "These men," Pershing is credibly reported to have said. would go through those Mexican bandits like a nigger through a watermelon." But if they do Pershing won t get any personal credit for anything that may happen. He may get a few new steps in rank, understand. He may be mentioned in general orders. He -may be advanced a few numbers because of conspicuous gallantry or efficiency or something.

A man with a good memory for financial history was recalling the other day some incidents connected with the wrecking of the New York street car lines by a group of capital ists. What he said seemed appropriate to a discussion of the current proposal to have the government undertake the supervision of railroad financing. According to this mart's recollection, New York was not the first choice as a field of operation for those financiers. They tried to get control first of the street car system of Boston, where traffic was heavier. They let in two or three Boston men, to whom they ex plained that as soon as they gained control of the system it was their Jan to issue a big block of new bonds and also put out a great deal of new cap ital stock. "But." iaid the Boston capitalists, "the railroad commission of Massachu setts won't allow that!" "If that is so, we don't want to stay here!" frankly said the exploiters. They found it was so, and moved on to New York. In New York they found everything to their liking no Public Service Commission to hamper them in putting out new stock and selling huge blocks of bonds. In the ten years which have passed since they had their way with the street Car system of our largest city New York has as a' result suffered untold Inconvenience and money lost. If this particular type of financier can be kept away from the railroads of the country by putting their finan cial affairs under the control of a commission. It will be to your advan tage ana mine to nave sucn a law en aciea oy congress. rsoi only as ers of railroad stocks and bonds, bul as shippers of freight and patrons of the passenger service, we should be better off under a system of govern ment inspection of financing methods.
