personal proclamations nre issued hourly to inflame the
puhlie mind against President Wilson and the Pacific ami
humanitarian policies of his adminstration.
Mr. Hearst in his latest wail of jingo despair calls the

.It is a travesty upon the word righteous to applv it to
a war with Mexico, such as advocated hv Hearst. Such a

how Jimch better for the strong to refrain from crushing
ine wcaic. lor a great nation to prove to the world that it is
actuated by lofty ideals instead of the savage instincts of
greed and gain!
It is no part of our duty to crush the people of .Mexico,
who must work out their own destinv. It is no part of
our destiny to play the conqueror of the weak. AVe can
not end destruction and devastation bv plaving the de
stroyer. Murder will not be ended bv turning Mexico into

wage a war of annexation bv connuesr.
President ilson has a most difficult role, but is most
creditably filling it. The popular and patriotic enthus
iasm for war has not stampeded him. The efforts of pow
erful financial syndicates with their extensive and inter

as melius man as enemeis, and in calling in the Latin
republics as mediators, has done much to restore confi
dence and create esteem for the Tinted States in the south,
including distraught .Mexico a friendship lost bv the
Mexican war of 1S-1").
' H is part of duty and of patriotism to uphold the pres

made mistakes, his policies mav have been wrong but thev
have been guided by high ideals and are worthv of the

The people always pay the cost of war as w.ll -. rm.,.;ui.

its blight. '
Abolishing Interest

Ues a long career for the political
chin latan. Whatever may be the ic-
ull ite-iiTd, (Hi n law. If the re
sult solicit doei not follow, )niss nn
o.ber law. The moie laws tlio better-
at lent for the lnwcr. If
wages ntc too low or prices luo high
li-s a Itiw. if the Alnbauiii nltiuter
persist in his desire to cvclmiixc his
cotton for the Manchester weaver's
cloth, pns tt law compelling him to
trade wiih the Ft ouch t'linndiau
weaver in Rhode Island. And now
comes a corrcpoiideut who wishes to
nbolish iiitcrot by law. After cit
ing the wtnte laws that ti the legal
rate ol interest -which he speaks of
as Iciil puvilego be suvs; "Hv the
same power we enn modifv or reduce
the privilege downward. Why not I
per cent, or two per cent why not
abolish interest (privilege) entlrelyf"
This conclusion comes trout the old
error of supposing that because two
things occur in conjunction one must
be the entise of the other. I.ogislu
tu res make laws fixing the legal rate
of interest, ami in-a general way the
interest of tho-e state- corresponds
to thoe uw therefore, reasons our
critic, the law must emit nd the in
terest If tliut were ail theie were
to the (iiestion, it would, indeed, be
a Minple matter: for the same power
that fies th nile ns li nr cent could
fiv it nt :i, or, as our correspondent
iiirge-ts. abolish it altogether. Hut
would uetiiitl interest fall in com
iilianec with the law of the legisla
ture. If that were so, bow shall wo
account for the fact that interest is
higher in tho newer state, than in
the older communities f Surely low
interest is needed in the frontier set
llenicnts. if anywhere. Vet Wyoiu
ing, Colorado and I'tah have fled
the legal rale nt'S per cent, while
Mich states ns .Mii'.-Hcliu-ett. New-
York and I'cnusylviiniH limit it lo
ti per cent. Wyoming would like to
have II per cent money, but would a
( tcr cent Ian secure it? It co-s
on the averaue 'J pifr cent more to
lend moue.v 'ti Wyoniiai; than in .Vow
York, and if the Wyoming legisla
ture were to fix the rnto at (I ner
cent, it would lend to drive capital
out of the Mate. Should .Mi-ouri
pas a law fi.viiig the rate at U per
cent, as the cnmvitoiidcnl sussosU.
and should enforce it, a grout pari
of its capital would flow into other
states. It would not nil Irave, but
-ueh ns did remain Would be loaned
secretly at I. or '.'ll per cent. For
the same ro.itn that makes Wvoui
mg interest higher than New York
interest would raise Missouri inter
state.
I This confusion icgniding iiileiesl
is hugely due to the thought that in
lorest is paid for money. It is not.
No one borrows uiuuev to keep. The
luoiiey is merely a medliiiii of dis
tributing ci edits, a suit of infix cixul
system of bookkeeping, Wlutt the
borrower icillly gets is tools, youil
or some othei foim of wcnllh, The
money bonowed Irom the lunik is
iuiiiiedintcly piisoed over to the
milker of tools, let us y, which

could not otherwise have until be
had produced it himself, lie mav

Whether or not be boriows will de
pend upon the iclntivc rate of prolit
that is likely lo accrue lo the smaller
or the laiKer plant. If he does bar
row it will be the plant, and nut the
money, on which he pays interest,
and that iiilctct cannot be abolish
I'd until plants aic nunc plcntiiul
