WHEAT FAMINE IN OLD MEXICO
Four Mills Are Being Shut Down.
Movement to Remove DUTY.

Mexico City, Mexico, Feb. 27.-Owing
to the great scarcity of wheat all over
the country the flour mills are nearly
all shut down. During the past month
little or no flour has been produced,
and all the native wheat that remains
Is being sold at SIS per 800 pounds. A
movement made recently to reduce the
duty on American wheat has been
brought before the government It is
confidently hoped that the government
will issue a decree removing the duty
on foreign wheat until such time, at
least, as this years crop reaches the
market. Last year there was similar
scarcity and the duty was removed
with the result that great quantity
of American wheat was imported. The
scarcity is due to the greatly increased
consumption of white bread by the
Mexican people.

RECOGNIZING STATE RIGHTS.
(The New York Times.l

(The New York Times)
Assisted immigration" in South
Carolina has been a subject of anxious
discussion at the White House since
Attorney General Bonaparte's adverse
ruling under the new contract labor
law was submitted. The southern peo-
pie, not unwarrantably, have raised
the cry of bad faith and sectional dis
elimination. When they sent dele
gates to the president recently, he
found it expedient to hear them Now
it is given out that the attorney gen.
erals opinion was merely an "obiter,"
quite outside the case he was deciding.
which was under the old immigration
law The intent of congress, as the
debate in the senate shows, was not
to interfere with the right of states to
offer substantial inducements to immi-
grants to come in and build up their
territory.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28
UNUSUAL, BUT RIGHT.
(The Fort Worth Telegram.)

(The Fort Worth Telegram.)
Southern blood is warm and impul-
sive, quick to right wrong, and al
ways ready to stand up in defense Of
woman's honor. 1t was a little unus-
ual, however, for a southern judge to
congratulate a jury upon it's findings
as was the case in the Strother trial.
1t was simply case, however, Of the
chivalry in southern nature asserting
itself over what may have been judi
cial dignity. Such cases are little
rare, but they have occurred, and
doubtless will continue to occur.
The men Of the south love their
women, and when wrong Of any kind
is done them, there will always be
day Of reckoning. Lynch law is al
ways regrettable procedure, and any
man who takes the enforcement of
the law into his own hands is commit
ting great wrong against the law.
But there are times when, unfortu-
nately, there seems to be no other
available procedure. Such was the
condition of affairs connected with the
Virginia case under discussion, and
the prompt acquittal of the execu-
TONERS serves to show the proper YER
dict in such cases.

FROTH ON THE FINANCIAL BEER.
(Tha Phi1ade1nhia Record \

The vast number of shares held as
investments did not enter into the
reckoning at all; nor was their actual
value to the holders diminished. If
they have been bought at fair price,
and bring the owner the same returns
in dividends first as last, their invest
ment value to him remains what it
was. He is no poorer except in the
sense Of the fellow who made cor
rect guess of the winning horse at
the race and failed to bet on it. Real,
concrete wealth is neither made nor
dissipated by the rise or fall of quota
tions. The fictitious values clicked
over the ticker are to the wealth of
the country what the froth is to the
beer.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28
A LABOR VICTORY.

(The Philadelphia Public Ledger.)
1t is wholly unjust to insinuate that
the president is not responsive to pub
lie opinion. With the issuance of his
recent executive order, excluding Jap
anese and Korean immigrant laborers,
he has met the wishes of labor men on
the Pacific coast swiftly and complete
ly. It has been long time since labor
has secured so great and so impress
sive a triumph.

WHY JURIES GO WRONG.
(Tho ChicaO 90 Post \

There is always much criticism of
the jury system. Men in good stand
especially business men who have
lost their case in jury trial-are
often heard to deplore the stupidity
and inconsequentiality of juries. They
tell stories Of verdicts being decided
in hurry in order that supper might
not go by, or Of extra weight being
given to evidence because the court
had ordered it excluded. But these
same critics are not above offering
misleading physicians certificates
when their own turn comes. They for
get their inconsistency in their haste
to act on the theory that personal con-
Venience is the first law of happiness.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28
Public Opinion Throughout the Union

ming so strong against them that they
have evidently made up their minds
that 1t is not worth while to try to re-
sist it. And it is the same people over
whom they used to drive with an en-
tire disregard of their rights. 1t would
be we'll for our friends to understand
that the change in the spirit Of the
people has not been wrought by dema-
gogues or agitators or yellow press.
1t is the product of unfairness of the
railroads themselves.
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28
MUST MAKE PEACE.
(The Chicago News.l

The railroads must make their peace
with the people. They must obey the
laws and must do it in a way that will
disarm hostility. They must have the
public confidence. If the railroad
presidents of the United States can hit
upon a program that the people will
accept as fair, there is good reason to
think the results will be Immediately
beneficial to all interests.

EMIGRATION SOUTHWARK.
(The Washington Post.)


The dilution Of the black population
in the southern Atlantic coast states
by white immigration may be imper-
ceptible for long time, but it is fac
tor that will be borne in mind by
southerners who are seeking some
practical solution Of the race question.
The reduction Of the proportion of
blacks may be slow, but it is very
sure method of relieving the situation.
Perhaps the immigration movement
may assist powerfully in this sociolog-
ical reform when established immi-
grants begin to send for their relatives
and friends, as they have been doing
in the north for many years. There
is no reason apparent why a current
