THE New York Journal of Commerce, which is recog nized as an unusually fair and honest chronicler of business and financial events and which is particu larly free from political bias, prints a cable dispatch from Manchester, England, that does not dovetail with the reports that have been circulated in this country by reactionary politicians and supporters of the old high tariff schedules. The cable says: "The cotton-cloth business at Manchester is the small est for years, and the market is very irregular." The Tacoma Tribune, commenting on this, says: ' "We can not understand how this can be possible. Why, it was only a lew days ago that Congressman Humphrey of Washington told the Pierce county Republicans, in a gloom-logged letter, that the cotton mills of the United States were being used as roosting places for bats because, under the new tariff, the country was being flooded with the cotton products of the Manchester mills, cotton made by the "pauper labor ot Europe. " mere must De some mistake about that cable. The Journal of Commerce should investigate. If Congressman Humphrey is telling . . m i , u i 1 1 1 1 the truth, the Mancnesier nuns muse oe wonting nay ana night to fill American orders. ! HUERTA'S END IN SIGHT. THAT is not a pleasant story Noriega, the Mexican now on his way to Spain, tells of Huerta and his reign. According to this gentleman, who was in Mexico City at the time Madero was murdered and ever since, Huerta is a drunken monster. He had Madero backed against a wall and shot, usurped the office of pres ident and has since that time accumulated enormous wealth. His son, it is stated by this same man, has amass ed a fortune of $2,000,000 in a year, and in doing so has had not less than 20 murders committed. He further says that Huerta's army is ripe for revolt, and that upon the approach of Villa it will mutiny and as one of its first acts kill Huerta. His body will be the peace offering to the victorious rebel chief. What Carranza will do and whe ther Villa will permit him to do anything remains to be seen, but whatever it is, it will seem like a Sunday school picnic to what Huerta has been guilty of. Noriega thinks that when Huerta falls there will be a reign of terror to make that of Paris seem a mere trifle, and he thinks this will come within two weeks. It is prob able he is measuring those who come after Huerta by that gentleman's standards, and if this is the case he is prob ably very much mistaken. Villa is no angel, but he is as white to black when compared to Huerta. The hopeful view of the situation is that Carranza will give the coun try a just and generous government, and that the strife that has so hampered the fair Mexico for years may at last give place to permanent peace. A couple of farm experts have made the discovery that there is lime in southern Oregon and that it is valuable as an agent in correcting the acidity of our soil. As there is a plant being built at Gold Hill on this lime belt for making 1000 barrels of cement a day and which is now nearly completed, the "discovery" may be classed along with that of Our Teddy who found the River of Doubt. That it was already bridged and an excellent telegraph service in the neighborhood, did not in the least qualify the discovery. However, the lime, of which there are vast quantities, will be utilized, that being part of the plan of the Gold Hill Cement company, which has already gone so far into the matter that even the freight rates have been looked after. Some of these days some one will discover that sticks and strings have generally two ends and onlv one middle. 3 Former Governor Odell of New York says Republican success this fall depends altogether on "good business de pression and its continuance until after election." Still the average Republican business man will not put up any fervent prayers for "continued and persistent business depression." There are some of the big fellows, though, that would gladly wreck the entire country rather than see Wilson's policies win out and become popular with the Republican business men. It is dangerous to party fences.

The Singer Sewing Machine company has for years given its employes from two to three weeks vacation each summer, utilizing the time in making needed repairs to its plant.

When a Buff Leghorn hen crawled under an auto on the street and gave evidence that she desired to deposit an egg on the asphalt, the owner of the auto refused to have the machine moved until the biddy cackled her consent. Traffic was practically stopped while all awaited with bated breath, or went in and got their breath baited while the egg was on its way. The United States senate stubbornly refuses to agree to the house reduction of the mileage graft to five cents a mile. As this is two cents above actual cost, the senate should not stutter, for it still permits a little graft. Under the old mileage system, the 20 cents a mile was at least six times the actual cost, and this is what our honest and honorable senators refuse to remedy. It is suggested by an exchange that Villa bought that bathtub so as to be able to clean up President Huerta. This would seem an unnecessary expense, as the president is represented as beinc so thornuphl all he needs is drying. Colonel Roosevelt, after letting his larnyx remain idle for almost three whole days, emerged from his hiberna tion Wednesday and tested it in a short talk. It will be found all right when he gets ready to squash Henry Sav age Landon. Remember to hare The Capital Journal to follow you during your vacation.

Parental Love and Love For All Children Motives For Mother's Day BY ANNA JARVlSk Founder of Mother's Day T II EKE are so many influences back of the begin ning of Mother's day, THE HOLIDAY OF THE HEART, THE HOME AND THE NATION, that it seems diflicult to answer tho many who ask what caused me to start the movement. Of course the most potent reason for the inauguration of such a day was parental love and the love of all children for flowers and for the true and lasting thlng9 of life. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ONCE SAID, "LET FRANCE HAVE GOOD MOTHERS AND SHE WILL HAVE GOOD SONS." 8UCH A THOUGHT IS ONE ! WHICH 8HOULD BE DEEPLY CONSIDERED. GOOD MOTHERS ARE NOT ONLY THE GREATEST BLESSING MEN AND WO MEN CAN POSSESS, BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE GREATEST BLESSINU TO THE NATION. THEREFORE, MOTHER'S DAY. WHICH IS. AFTER ALL, RIGHTLY CHILDREN'S DAY AS WELL, SHOULD BE REGARDED AS A THANK OFFERING DAY TO BE SET ASIDE NOT ONLY BY INDI VIDUALS. BUT THE GOVERNMENT, FOR THE MOTHERS AND THE FA THERS, TOO, WHO HAVE BLESSED OUR LIVES AND THEIR COUN TRY. SO IT WILL BE SEEN THAT DEEPER MOTIVES THAN THOSE WHICH ARE APPARENT ON THE SURFACE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR I MOTHER'S DAY. Chicago, July 10. There is no res taurant or slimmer garden trust in Chicago. Competition is so everlast ingly keen that managers and press' agents are cutting deep furrows in their brows devising new schemes to catch the dollars of the gilded youth,' the silvcr-haireil gsnt or he of the bald pate. ' . Oue downtown inn, realizing that its. location near the city hall was noj place for the cooling breezes to blow, hit upon a new idea for retaining the winter trade throughout the hot month. It installed an ice skating rink right in the middle of the rostnuraut floor, opened with an ice hockey game between alleged profes sional hockey players, and invited members of the tango colony to quit wriguliiig for the summer and go on a genuine skate. The restaurant manu factures its own ice, the output for the sknting rink about equaling that con sumed in cooling drinks by the non- sKaters. Not to be left out in the cold by the ice skating rink stunt, a North Side i summer garden, popular rendezvous for fashionable folKs, advertised free in struction every afternoon and even ing in the tango and maxixn, by two tango shares, just returned from the Cleveland dancing masters' convention where they brushed up on all the new tricks. Home one madp the discovery the other day that while all the world out side Cook county is reputed to love a lover, this town loves to swat him. Sections of the city code now put the kibosh on spooning in public parks, public places and the sand along the lake. Alderman Pretzel would have the city extend its jurisdiction to stop what ho terms "close and constant huirging aboard lake steamers. ' Th aldertnanie idea is that when Gertie i discovered in the arms of Percival on the starboard rail, the steamer should whistle twice, put back to shore end turn Gertie and company over to the cops. The cruel thing is this; While earn est suppresses of hugging will public ly proclaim the ordinance a blessing, thousands of Gerties and Percivals, bashful things, will never appear be fore council when the ordinance comes np, to defend their Inalicnnb.o rights. One of the most interesting depart ments of one of the big Chicago papers is that detailing each day the rejec tions and cutouts ordered by the board of censors for moving picture films.
