The Oregonion cartoonist draws some graphic pictures of Americans being hanged and burned and all that sort of thing, all of which is untrue. That some Americans suffer from the conditions is a necessary corollary of the conditions. A state of war always brings suffering and death, and with it the loss of property. But Americans are treated bb well as the circumstances will admit, and as well as the Mexicans thomsolves. The Huerta government, if it can be called that, is doing all it can to protect American life and property, and that is all we or any othor nation can ask. It is evident that President Wilson is endeavoring to starve Huerta out. By-refusing to recognize him his ability to borrow money Is reduced to a min imum, and without money bo must soon stop down and out. With his extin guishment it is hoped some form of government will be established, some agree ment made by the leading citizens of that unhappy country that will permit the United States to assist In bringing order out of chaos, and help the Mexl' can people, to again got their affairs on a, stable basis. Money it the most cowardly thing on earth, and its owners are not going to take any chances on loaning it to a quasi-govornment that the United States does liot recognize, and which must win its fight, or the capitalists lose. It has boon proved to allow the rebels to get arms over the American border. To this is the objection that them same arms might be turned against us in case we are compelled to intervene, but thero is the rather ghastly fact behind it that there would not be so many Meiiifms left to contend with. This Booms a cold-blooded viow of the situation, and one, filled with death, but at least It Is not death to our own people Intervention, so glibly talked about is fur from being a trifling matter. It mount thousand of vacant chairs In American honied. It means thousands of young Americans lying with their toes toward the grans roots in Mexican soil. It menns hundreds of millions of dollars spent in killing human beings. It meant a situation far nioro serious than that now confronting us. It means that once undertaking the pacification of Mexico, we will have to go through with it, and that we will for years be engaged in a war with bo irregular and irresponsible army of guerillas. It nutans that wo will then have the task of getting out of Moxico with honor to ourselves and justice to that country, confronting us, and this is far more serious than getting luto Mexico, If President Wilson can find the solution by the "hunger strike," he will have achieved one of the greatest victories of police tho world has ever known. Lot us all be patient and give him a chance to work out the problem along these linos. IAS PREACHING AND HIS PRACTICE, COMMKNTINO RATIONALLY on what ,1. J. Hill said concerning land values in Oregon In his rocont speech lu Portland, tho Evoning Tele gram says editorially: "Summed up, all of Mr. Hill's utterances on this subject ran to tho , effect that tho value of land, that is to say tho real value which would contribute to the welfare of tho community, lay iu its use; ami that the best use to which it over could be put wns when some honest and Industrious citir.cn settled himself upon a bit of it as a bampmnkor." Wo havo had considerable to say concerning Mr. Hill and his methods In thi past few days, and hod hoped to let go, but it seems that thero is still much left unsaid, Mr. Hill has been a successful railroad-builder, an exploiter of men and localities. In a way he has dono much to benefit certain communities, and Incidentally hlmsolf, Wo aro finding no fault with him for that. What we object to is hit traveling under false pretenses and posing as a public bene factor. Hero Is a statement that shows how hit talk and his platitudes sipmre with his practices. Ho tells Portland people seriously that land values aro too high. He as serts that "tho value of land lies in Its use, ami that tho best use to which It can be put Is when some honest and Industrious citizen settled himself upon a bit of it as a homemaker." This sounds good, and Is certainly adapted to catch tho ear and make one think that Mr. Hill is a real simon-pure philanthropist. What aro the fnctsf At we understand It, Mr. Hill, or at least the Hill family of which ho is the head, ownt 000,000 acres of land in Oregon, Is he or any of his family doing any thing toward putting these lands on tho market at low prices! Is ho or his letting "tome honest and Industrious citizen settle himself in a bit of It as a hoinninnkerf " Not to any great extent. According to Mr. Hill's statement and ideas, his SOO.OOO acres of land would make homes for 20,000 families and give to each 40 acre. Is he making any effort to get settlert on these lands, or is ho hold ing them to lake ndntagn of the unearned Increment f Tho latter, moat as suredly, i Another evidence of tho broad mindedness of Mr. Hill is his sodden awak ening to tho need of the Columbia river mouth for improvement. Ho never realized this need until he got ready to put on a line of steamers between Portland and San Francisco. It was noticeable that ho discovered this need very suddenly then. History records tho fsct (list when Kngland Imported a Dutchman for king, being shy on a king full, that as ha landed, he stumbled, and straightening himself up, forgot his preered speech and contented himself with saying: " I come for all your goods." We fancy Mr. Hill, when he comes "for the good of all," gelt the Dutch twist to the language. SEE IF THE CHILD'S E Mother I Don't Hesitate!

UNITID FBSSS L1ABBD WIBS. Washington, Nov. 13. "I like thiB school because I never could have learned anyything, and I am more use in the world." This it the way a girl pupil in the Elementary Industrial School of Cleveland, Ohio, describes her impressions of the new kind of school work, according to a bulletin just issued by the United States Bureau of Edu cation. The Elementary Industrial school was established to give "hand-minded boys and girls as good a chance as the "language-minded" have always had. Cleveland was one of the first cities in the United States to make a distinc tion between the two types of children those who tnke to books and those who do not. In Cleveland, as in most American cities, about half the child ren have been leaving school in the sixth grade. The Cleveland school auth orities saw that much of this waste wns duo to tho attempt to force abstract intellectual effort ou boys and girls whoso interest was in doing things. The Elementary Industrial school was meant to meet this situation. To it boys and girls wore admitted if they were over 13 years of age and were two or throe years behind their grade in school. In this school ono half of the time is devoted to English, mathematics, geography-history, the two in close son nection, and to hygicno of a thorough ly practical character. The remaining periods are given to manual and indus trial work including shopwork to do 'mestic. economy and gymnasium prac tice. A poll of tho pupils showed that with tho girls cooking and sowing wore favorite subjects: with tho boys, mo chanicnl drawing and woodworking. In other schools of the sumo type which it Is proposed- to have in Cleveland, it is probable that the course will be ex tended to include a year or more of def initely vocational of trade school work, in preparation for specific employment. I Tho school hfis been successful, oven in tho fact of adverse conditions. The enrollment has doubled In the st four years. Pupils who had long since lost : interest Inschool work of any kind, 'some to tho extent of being known as "dullards and incorrigibles," hove bo- come eager and alert, not only in tho hand subjects, but in the academic work as woll. In s'HMiking of tin Cleveland work, l'rof. W, N. llailmnnn, author of tho Korean's bulletin, says: "The ordinary school was born among and for tne innguagomimiou. mm lectual and physical culture not man mil self-expression and economic In sight wns its aim. The industrial worker wfns practically excluded from It; he had no leisur for It, no timo to engage In its play. This onosidodness still clings to the school, and it is hard to eradicate. "Tho Cleveland l.lomontnry Indus trial school may not offer the best gen eral solution, cetmlnly not tho only so- Look at the tongue, mother! If coat ed, it is a sure sign that your little one's stomach, liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When peevish, cross, listless, pale, doesn't sloop, doesn't eat or act natur ally, or is feverish, stomach sour, breath bad; has stomachache,, sore throat, di arrhoea, full of cold, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of iilgt" and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. You needn't coax sick children to take this harmless "fruit laxative;" they love its delicious teste, and it al ways makes thorn feel splendid. Ask the druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits told here. To be sure you get the genuine ask to see that it is made by "Califor nia Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any other kind with contempt. WHITE SLAVER BOUND OVER, uxitbd rscss UUBSD WHS.

Smith, county commissioner of Clackamas county, was acouittcd of the chargo of selling liquor on Sunday, by ordor of the judge Tuesday.
