THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.

The conference of Mexican policy, as
compared with that Of any other Lat
in American state, has been a matter
of surprise to many students of con-
temporary affairs. 1t has seemed that
the elements of stability have been
lacking in. the smaller nationalities of
similar population.
The growth and, on the whole, sue
cessful administration of Mexico may
be attributed solely to President Diaz
whose position practically is that Of
president for life and whose power is
less limited than that of our chief ex-
ecutive Now that he purposes, as
news dispatches indicate, to turn over
the reins of power to a vice president
in such a manner as to name him as
successor, the United States acquires
direct and anxious interest in the
personality and abilities of his success
SOr
Readers will have noticed that the
finance minister, Jose Yves Limantour
is the man chosen by President DiaZ.
bill is now before the Mexican con-
gress creating the office of vice-presi
dent, and it is known that-DiaZ will
appoint LimantOur to the position. The
prerogatives of this second executive
include the presidency of the senate
and the powers of the president when
DiaZ, it is known, as soon as Imam
tour shall be installed in office, will go
abroad for a year or more. Mean
time he will be able to judge whether
Limantour has the qualifications to fill
the important and difficult position.
The only disturbing feature of the
plan, as outlined, is opposition to Linn
antour in the army. The military Off
GERS prefer the elevation of one Of their
generals. The detection of the army
has been the basis Of troubles and rev.
olutions in states, great and small,
from time immemorial. Information
that has thus far reached the United
States does not indicate that the Oppo-
sition is likely to take a serious turn.
| Still, there is in the situation room
| for a conservative apprehension and
cause to keep a close watch on de-
velopments.
! President Daz always has been
! friendly to the United States, and his
administration is so now, more than
ever. Inducements are offered for the
entry Of American capital and a wise
policy, looking to the development of
the natural resources, is pursued. An
element however, in all the Latin
| American countries is jealous and fear
full of the United States. 1t is under
stood that the opposition to Liman-

1t is evident from the first annual
report of the secretary Of labor and
commerce that the American farmer
will not hereafter be the only indus
trial class that has it's interests eff
GENTLY looked after by the government
The new department will be on watch
for commercial and, indirectly, gem
eral industrial interests. Just as the
agricultural department does lot Of
thinking, investigating, experimenting
and planning for the farmer, so the
department of commerce and labor
will foster commerce. It will do much
of the work that the commercial inte-
rests of the country might do for them
selves by means Of organizations but
the government recognizes that as an
organization supported by an essen
TALLY commercial people it must en-
deavOr to promote their welfare by
means which are foreign to govern
ment in the proper sense.
Government is no longer confined to
protection of the citizens individually
and collectively. 1t cannot be. War to-
day is more often waged with CONNER
cial weapons than firearms. The

INCREASED STATE REVENUES.

An increase of nearly 100000 will
be shown in the collection of fees
made by the state of Washington dur
ing the present fiscal period. This is
the estimate of State Auditor J. D.
Atkinson The fees which are includ-
ed in this estimate come from insur-
ance companies, liquor licenses, cor
poration taxes and similar licenses
charged by the state.
Mr.. Atkinson is confident that the
state department will go through the
present fiscal period without showing
any deficiencies. Up to the present
time the different departments and
institutions are keeping well within
their allowances, and there is every
reason to believe that the remainder
of the period will show a similar con-
ditiOn.
The state of Washington makes a
wonderful showing in wealth. There
are few persons who realize it, but
Washingtons assessed valuation is
$2SO,000,000. This is equal to the total
for any two of the other far western
states, exclusive of California. In
proportion to the area of the two
states, Washington is weather. than
California.

that when Schmidt got into trouble
interest.
In the light of these facts it is in
conceivable that the Ankeny organ
should feel that it has the right on it's
side in accusing this paper of coarse
lying"
sees fit to explain further that
Schmidt's tribulations are none of the
senator's funeral and that this paper
is simply a coarse liar. we would most
respectfully suggest that he go yet a
little further in the matter of enlight-
ening the public. He might tell how it
came about that he himself, like Lu-
offer fell from his high estate. Once
upon time, and that not so very long
ago, the editor Of our Walla Walla
contemporary was engaged in the
very laudable though seldom profitable
occupation of running a reform paper.
Wrongdoers, whether in an individual
or corporate capacity, were severely
scourged by him and made to feel
that they were criminals under the
| touch of his vigorous lash. Even that
| wonderful piece of mechanism, the An
keny political machine, a home pro-
duct came in for it's share of whole
| some condemnation.
But suddenly and without warning
a baleful change came over the spirit

change. things began to look different
| through the Argus spectacles. What
was before black and damnable became
white, pure and undefiled and the
world began to grow better and look
very much depends upon the point Of
view,

whole world is in a state of perpetual
commercial war
In such a state of affairs no gov
eminent can afford to sit and see
it's citizens waging individually a war
in which they are opposed by the gov
ernments of other countries.
In this phase of its work the new
department is the friend and guide of
commerce, and it's work is helpful and
constructive phase that will be new
to those who have thought of it only
as a department intended to harass
dangerous concentration of capital.
The critical or repressive side of
the new department is to be found in
the bureau of corporations which is
charged with the study and investiga-
ton of corporations and their methods
with a view to acquiring information
that may be important in itself and
also as the basis of legislation aimed
at the abuses of the great modern cor
porat tons. This bureau has now begun
exhaustive studies along nine separate
lines, out mas nOlnIlS ueilllte 10 re-
port in the way of results.
The whole department, though il
includes many old and wellestablish-
ed bureaus is too new to present a re-
port that will make much of an i'm
preston on the popular mind. It is
still a department of plans and hopes

THE STATESMAN A WINNER.

The Statesmans three bargain days
proved to be a great success. Many
persons, most of them new subscrlb-
ers, ayailed themselves Of the OppOr-
tunity to read today's news today for
a whole year for only $3.50. Evidently
most of the old subscribers think that
the paper is well worth the regular
price of 65 cents a month, or $3.50
a year, and they were satisfied to con-
tinue paying at that rate. Any fair
minded man who will compare the
Evening Statesman with any morning
paper issued next day will admit that
the Statesman publishes all the prin-
cipal Geographic news Of the world
and the bulk of the local news fourteen
hours before any morning paper can
be placed in the hands of people who
do not stay up all night. For example,
yesterday the Statesman told of the
filing of the governments brief in the
great merger suit now before the
United States supreme court and gave
q synopsis of the argument made by
negotiations between Russia and Japan
in relation to Korea and Manchuria;
it gave the details of the dynamite plot
in New York; it related the latest de-
velopments in Panama; it told Of the
execution of policeman Ennis in
New York; it gave an account of the
suit brought in California by mine
owners against the Miners union; it
told the story of the cold wave in the
East; it gave the proceedings of con-
gress, etc. etc. In short last evenings
Stateman covered all the important
events of the United States and of the
world.
An examination Of the morning pa
pers of today will show that the stories
told in yesterdays Statesman are
merely rehaShed and revamped, in
some instances amplified, but adding
nothing to the essential facts, which
are of the greatest interest and i'm

A WORD FROM MEDILL
The Yakima Democrat says:

The Yakima Democrat says:
The Walla Walla Argus, an Ankeny
organ of populistic proclivities, at
tempts to call the Democrat down for
a paragraph that appeared in these
columns two weeks ago in which the
conviction of Adam Schmidt on the
charge of perjury was sarcastically al
luded to. Our comment is styled IAN
ti-Ankeny rot by the Walla Walla
sheet, which says that such samples
Of coarse lying at Senator Ankeny's
expense ought to be stopped.
This paper does not assume to be in
possession of all the facts brought
out at the trial Of Adam Schmidt, at
the conclusion of which he was given
sentence of six years by Judge Han
ford. However, from the reports of
the trial CLEANED from the daily press
we learned enough to know that the
man was guilty as charged 1t is
also a matter of common knowledge
that the man was protected by Senator
Ankeny and his friends in SO far as
they could go legally, the senator hav-
ing been one of Schmdts bondsmen.
It has also been currently reported, and
we have never before heard it denied,

tour is likewise opposed to further in
yason of Mexico from the north. Inc
interests of the United States lie with
the success of Limantour and the
continued dominance Of Diaz.
Every reason exists for believing in
the controlling power of Diaz, and for
thinking that his plans with reference
to a successor will be carried to sue
cessful conclusion. But it does no
harm to take cognizance of the other
possibility. In truth, a little foresight
and Cancellation on this side of the
Rio Grande may help shape the future
down there and work for the mainte-
nance of friendly relations between the
two republics.
