CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?
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

the truth, the Mancnesier nuns muse oe wonting nay ana

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.

might upset their pleasant theories that the country is
going to the bow-wows. 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. This year it announces
that owing to a rush of business it will shorten this vaca

Pendleton is polite. 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.

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.
Hero are some of the cutouts ordered
by tho board and the reason for the
rders:
"Mabel's Married Life" Cut out
all scenes showing girl in pajamas be
fore men other than her husband.
"The Desert Thieves" Shorten
strugglo in desert between man
and wife. Cut out subtitle reading.
