MEXICO ON THE WAR PATH AGAIN.
There are increasing indications that Mexico will have
to endure another civil war. Villa and Carranza are like
ly to fail in reaching an agreement and if they get to
gether there are scores of lesser chieftains who are ready
to revolt against the regular government, no matter who
should head it. The trouble with the Latin-American
countries is that they are incapable of self-government be
cause the population consists of only two classes, one com
prising the property owners and educated people and the
other the peons, poverty stricken, ignorant and shiftless.
The former class is the ruling element and their idea of
government is graft and exploitation for the benefit ol
themselves. When one faction gets in, another tries tc
oust it for the purpose of securing the loot only, and not
because of any patriotic concern. The peons will fight
on either side, if too much exertion is not required, for a
little money or the promise of loot. Endless revolution
4s the consequence? these deplorable conditions, Former
President Diaz, with his rule of iron, having been the only
leader in the history of the nation capable of maintaining
a semblance of real , government for any considerable
time.
President Wilson is using much patience and every
possible means of a peaceful nature to straighten out the
tangle, and the people of this country hope he will suc
ceed. We fear, however, that he will find that there is no
real foundation en which to build a stable government in
Mexico at this time, and in due course of events sterner
measures may be necessary.
At the present time little attention is being paid to tlw
trend ot events in the southern republic because of the
greater troubles ot the world, busy just now with bigger
Those who are watching the ik
Naturally when the Oregonian got to discussing eggs
recently it became slightly addled, and just at present
could not get on the market as of the "candled" variety.
As a sample of its addled condition, attention is called to
an editorial under the heading, "Producer and Consumer,
in Wednesday's issue, in which it says it is "pleased to en
lighten the puzzled Oregon City correspondent, who wants
to know the exact influence of the tariff on eggs on his
own prosperity." In trying to let the light of wisdom
shine into the dark recesses of its correspondent's think
tank, the editor proceeds to scramble his eggs, arguments
and gray matter and to place in type the most meaning
less and senseless string of words ever permitted to dis
port themselves on the editorial page of any paper in
Christendom. If the Oregon City correspondent ever un
tangles that lot, he will never ask another question, or at
least he will not ask an answer from the Oregonian.
The weather prognostications of Father Ricard of Cal
ifornia, who by the way is one of the world's greatest
mathematicians, have proved unusually correct. He call
ed especial attention to September 8, and the evening of
the Seventh the first rain storm of the season broke with
heavy precipitation and strong winds that lasted all the t" "m,
next day. In this connection attention is called to the out- py runs, d
burst of Mount Lassen on the 8th, which was far the
greatest of its thirty-odd eruptions. The storm along the
coast on that date was one of unusual severity for the
time of year.
The returns from Washington's primaries are very
meager owing to the length of the ballots which contain
some hundreds of names in some counties. In the matter
of the justices of the supreme court, however, so far as
counted, they show the candidates who are new are run
ning ahead of the incumbents seeking re-election. This
indicates the "Clam Diggers" are not familiar with the
proverb that "it is better to bear the ills we have than to
lly to those we know not ot.
The new revenue laws will also hit the bubble wagons.
:is pasoline will be forced to contribute to make up defi
ciencies in the custom revenues. However, it will only be
a cent: or perhaps two cents a gallon, which will mean only
the 'steenth part of a cent a mile to the autoists. Incomes
will also have to stand a portion of the deficiency, but they
can do it more easily than anything else.

OUR UNEASY CONSCIENCES.
There is nothing more unreasonable than an over
weening conscience. The sense of "ought" which no ac
tivity appeases; the sense of shame for one's "shortcom
ings," no matter how "long" we come in reality; this is an
element in life which often tends to evil results.
Nactrinir is disagreeable and generally useless, who
ever does it; and to have a perennial nagger incorporated
in one's system is worse than an outside one. Is it not
possible to have it out with one's conscience, settle on a
level of virtue one may consider attainable, and pursue
the even tenor of one s wav ;
Here is a woman, a good deal of an invalid, fretting
because she cannot write letters to deserving friends;
feeling daily remorse at neglecting them. Now this is
f imnle matter to decide. She can or cannot write a tetter
a day or two or three. If she CAN, there is no power
that can prevent her. If she CANNOT, she is not to
llame.
One can ascertain one's powers by a little careful ex
periment, live easily up to them, and experience a pro
found sense of piety and peace in the fulfillment.
Either one can or one cannot. How is one to know?
liy trying. Try hard, try nobly, test your outside limit;
then walk easily within it.
We are not to blame for not doing what we cannot.
There is no great difficulty in doing what we can.
The lest method of settling one's conscience is to drag
it into the open, carefully define its demands, fulfill what
is in one's power, and then refuse to be disturbed by any
required impossibility. An undisciplined, exorbitant, ir
rational conscience is more distressful than a scolding
mother and a teasing child.
ThU kicking about Russian names is all wrong. Any
printer will tell you they are the handiest buncn to hanuk
he ever ran across. Generally in dividing a word at the
end of a line the division is made after a consonant. This
permits cutting a Russian name in two any old place when
the line is lull.
Probably the next feature of the European unpleasant
ness will be a series of revolts of the provinces and a state
of civil war. With half its population Slavs, Austria is
having a hard time getting them to fight their own people,
and revolts are a necessary sequence to conditions.
