THb CAUSES OF DISTRUSY.

1t has ever been true that dis

business and political affairs, has

tlistru~trd. the old maxim is that
prudent jealousy is the first duty
Of the eitiz"n. And rs tu business,
The equally old maxim is. let the
purchaser beware. The trouble in
business now is that we have reach
eel the limit "f prosperity based On
fictitious values, and the time has
come FOR paying the penalties Incl
dent to dishonesty and rrcklessness.
In politics. the trouble is that our
statesmen have acted i'm bad faith
with the taxpayers, and have been
round GU. Hence this universal
diS,rust, which threatens the exist
ence of the dominant political party
and the prevailing industrial and
financial systems.

If the Democrats succeed in
uniting on a candidate. whether he
is generally known or not, they
would be successful for there are
many reasons why the Republicans
will not pull together whoever they
nominate. If their candidate is a
known supporter of the Roosevelt
faction, there will be many Re-
publicans who will not support
him and if he is a "reactionary"
there will be others who will vote
against him or refuse him active
support. Leaving our Republican
friends to mediate on their own
troubles, Democrats. who have
troubles of their own, can overcome
them by improving their organiza-
ton and urging measures rather
than men.

In Mexico all vehicles. be they hand
cart automobile or anything between
must carry light at night. This rule
or law Is rigidly enforced. Even the
drivers OF the poor little burro or mule
carts, on their two wheels, must carry
light. So, rather than buy lanterns,
which cost money. they take a dip
candle. and wrapping 1t In q bit OF
newspaper to shield 1t from the wind
carry 1t In their left hand as they drive
