Corral faction has been put into office
IN place Of the deposed man. The ac-
ton Of President Diaz Is resented by a
large part of the population of the state
of Coahuila, and revolutionary upTis-
ing is threatened.
This action on the part of President
Diaz is one OF a series of arbitrary
measures to which the aged ruler is
accused of resorting in his eagerness to
prevent the Reyes faction from getting
the upper hand and seating Reyes in the
office Of vice president. It appears
that the federal troops in Mexico are
being disposed in such fashion as to
quell any instruction.
The situation is one that is filled
with many elements of danger. General
Reyes is intensely popular with the
army. He is so we'll liked by the
troops that President Diaz never allows
any organization to remain for many
months in the state over which Reyes
governs, lest it become too warmly at
tached to the governor. 1t is clear that
if the federal troops remain loyal to
the Diaz government any uprising will
be depressed with a stern hand and
the seating of Corral win undoubtedly
be assured. But N view of the popu-
larity of Reyes with the army there
are intimations that the federal troops
will incline to him. They undoubtedly
would do so were it not for the fact
THAT the venerable Diaz himself is like
wise deeply liked and admired by the
army.
Naturally the question that suggests
itself to one is what will happen to the
republic of Mexico when the powerful
hand of Diaz is withdrawn from the
levers. It will require a strong man to
rule where he has ruled. The situation
is filled with interest and Importance to
this country, not alone because AmeTi-
cans have a sympathetic interest in the
welfare of the Mexican republic, but be
cause of the enormous American in
vestments there which are expanding at
remarkably rapid rate.

NO POLITICS IN THE TAKING
OF THE CENSUS.

President Taft Is to be commended
for the stand he has taken with re-
spect to the appointment Of census
supervisors. In a letter he has ad-
dressed to Secretary Nsgel of the De-
paftment of Commerce and Labor he
has set it down in fat terms that any
man, engaged in taking the thirteenth
census who engages in politics in any
way will be Immediately dismissed from
the service Outside of casting their
votes, the President believes that both
the supervisors and the enumerators
should hold themselves aloof from any
thing that savors of politics, whether
local, State, or national.
The President, in his letter, shows
that he is fully aware how easily the
census force can be perverted from the
business of enumeration and compila-
ton to politics. For this reason he in
sists that the order he has put forth
be enforced without exception. He
points out that it is Of the highest i'm
portauce that the one aim in taking the
census is to get correct results, and
that'the'Government is spending enough
money for this purpose TO warrant the
expectation that right results win be
obtained.
This firm stand by President Taft
viii be unpleasant news for the
politicians. Many a census supervisor
viii be put into office on reeommenda-
ton of the manber of Congress in his
district in order, not so much that a
right enumeration may be had, as that
the member may get a denomination
and reelection next year. In the past
the census appointees have been, in
many cases, up to their ears in politics.
The President evidently is fully aware
of this. He is also evidently aware OF
the fact there is a disposition to crit
else the census returns as not made up
with that freedom from bias that might
be desired. President Taft and Secre-
tary Nagel. as well as Director Durand
viii deserve great credit II they achieve

cused of having any Of the old faults

letter to keep the census force out OF

ably it viii be necessary TO drop the

President are carried out.

mcfarland Requests Coop
Grafton of Business Bodies
to Get Railroad Men.

Commissioners Mscfarland today re-
quested the Chamber Of Commerce and
the Board Of Trade to consider the
communication recently received by him
regarding the establishment Of the
grand lodge Of the Brotherhood OF Lo-
connective Firemen and Enginemen IN
Washington.
If suitable facilities. including a de-
sirable building. can be acquired. the
lodge may locate in washington next
year. It Is regarded as practically GER
tain that the Chamber OF Commerce
and Board of Trade will cooperate with
each other in placing information in
the hands Of the officials OF the lodge
which may result IN the selection Of
Washington, although several other
cities are strong contenders against the
Capital
At present the lodge IS located At
Peoria. Ill Under it are rs subordinate
lodges, having a total membership Of
1000. Five general officers and twenty
FIVE clerks are employed. the pay roll
amounting to about $4,000 annually.
while the current expenses run another

In the event the lodge is moved to
Washington, building must be secured
which will have at least 1890 feet Of
office space. There is possibility that
a building may be erected. providing all
conditions are favorable.

SECRETARY NAGEL'S IDEA ON
TAKING VACATIONS.

Vacations when the work is done
and not before" might well be the
phrase of Secretary Nagel of the De
partment of Commerce and labor, in
expressing his determination TO permit
employees in his department to rest only
after they have put their individual
tasks in such shape that the machinery
will not be clogged by their absence.
Mr.. Nagels attitude is not calcu-
lated to be popular. The Government
clerk is not the only one who looks
upon the annual leave as a right to be
enjoyed at his convenience. But who
viii DENY that Mr.. Nagel's new rule is
businesslike1 Its strict enforcement
will mean that vacations must be
earned; that the work Of one man
cannot be left unfinished OF thrown
upon the desk of another when the dog
DAYS come around. Each and every
clerk viii be expected to perform his
share Of the Governments work so
efficiently that when he goes away the
departmental machinery will not be-
come clogged.
Government clerks need vacations as
much as clerks employed in private
business enterprises, and so far as can
be seen from the new regulations of
! Secretary Nagel there is no disposition
to deny them an annual outing. Mr..
Nagel is merely tearing another sheet
out OF his book of business experience
and FASTING it into his departmental
regulations. Doing the Governments
work in a businesslike manner is going
to help the Government, and it will
bring the efficiency of the department
N which it is practiced up to a standard
which viii prove equally beneficial to
the clerks Taking -riericaI position
with the Government does not neces-
sarily mean that one has embarked
upon a life of ease. We venture the
assertion that a great number of Gov
eminent clerks give to their employers
full return for the wages pad them,
but even those who work hardest will
admit that their burdens would be
lightened if the department in which
they work ware conducted along the
same lines of economy and efficiency
that prevail in private establishments.

STORMY DAYS AHEAD OF THE
MEXICAN REPUBLIC.

That stormy times are ahead of the
Mexican republic cannot fail to be i'm
pressed on anyone who has been fol-
lowing Of late the political develop
ments IN that country.
Trouble has been brewing in Mexico
for many months. It has its origin in the
fact that the days Of the aged President
Diaz are drawing 10 a close and the
question as to who shall succeed him is
one in which every Mexican politician
is interested. President Diaz, having
ruled Mexico with an iron hand, though
intelligently, for years, naturally wants
70 be assured that a man of his own
choosing shall follow him in the presi-
dency. He has picked on one of his
foremost lieutenants and ministers.
Ramon Corral, and wants Corral chosen
to be vice president.
On the other hand, Gen. Bernardo
REYES, governor Of the state of Nuevo
Leon, is ambitious to be vice president
in order that when Diaz passes he may
step into his shoes and become Presi-
dent. In other words, while the present
political contest in Mexico apparently
concerns the vice presidency, in reality
the question now being settled is who
shall be the President when Diaz dies.
The latest development in the situa-
ton is the deposing by President Dsaz OF
Miguel Car6enas from the governorship
of the state Of Coahuila for the reason
apparently, that Cardenas is a partisan
Of Reyes. An adherent Of the Diaz-

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY.

Justice J. J. Maclsren, of Toronto, IN
a recent magazine article, has called at
.tention to some highly interesting facts
about the boundary line between the
United States and Canada, which it is
likely few persons living on either side
of it have given thought to. This
boundary line, he points out, separating
the United States and British North
America, is the longest between any
two countries in the world. He calls
attention to another unique feature Of
the American Canadian boundary line
in this language:
Instead of being fanked by fTown-
ing forts and batteries, as is so fire.
oueutlv the case on the frontiers in
European countries, one might almost
travel from end 10 end Of II, through
ont the whole length OF the 1000
miles. without seeing a single soldier
in uniform on either side Of the line.
Justice MacIaren thinks the existence
of this immense line of boundary with
out a uniform in evidence is a great OBJ
iect lesson to those nations at present
so heavily burdened, one may say
cursed. with militarism. It IS one of
the strongest pieces Of evidence obtain
able that disarmament of nations is no
mere chimera, no idle dream, and that
it is worth while for the statesmen Of
Europe, whose peoples are staggering
under enormous loads OF war taxes, to
give thought to the practical side of the
question of laying aside their arms
and returning the armed millions to the
/ factory and the soil.
