THE COMING Or WINTER

Few older people see winter come
without regret. Decadence of vege'
tation, death of flowers and fruits, af'
feet with melancholy all who are
sensitive to inanimate nature. The
farther one goes north, the more there
is of snowbound country and physical
ills that make the season dreaded.
The deathlike hush over the land

different from the April landscape
when mating songs of birds and
springing vegetation make pulses
stir.
But to the clearsighted there is hope
and consolation even in December. II
the leaves have fallen, it but reveals
the sturdy power of the tree. If the
fields are brown from frost or white

A movement has been organized in
London to abate the smoke nuisance
by gradually centralizing the power
producing plants and the general use
of electric currents in all mills, fac
tories and homes of the city. 1t has
been estimated that the Capitalization
of the power plants would mean a saw
ing of six million tons of coal a year,
and the reduction of the curse of
smoke to a minimum. A campaign of
education is being carried on to prove

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The news from the front that the
Mexican riots have been practically
suppressed and that the Diaz forces
are still in complete control of the
government, will be good news to
America in general. The welfare of
Mexico demands that Diaz be held in
power, and consequently Americans
interested in that country in a bust
ness way will welcome the dispatches
telling of the Diaz victory.
Diaz rules with an iron hand, it is
true but an iron hand is essential to
the welfare of Mexico. Half the popu-
lation is made up of barbarians and
savages, uncivilized and no more fit
to rule themselves than are our In
dams.
What civilization and modern in
fluence is found in Mexico, has come
from the strong guiding hand of
President Diaz. His overthrow by a
band of irresponsible revomtionists
would mean that the government
which has been so successfully car
ried OH, must become demoralized and
that probably graft would take the
upper hand in government affairs.
President Daz is a congenlal gentle
man to meet, the editor of The News
I having had that privilege on trip
to Mexico a few years ago. He is a
man of polish of dignity and of keen
intelligence. Diaz lives in Chapulta
pee, fort on the top of a mountain
about four miles from the center OF
the City of Mexico, reached by but a
single narrow roadway, guarded by
soldiers constantly. The sides of the
mountain are perpendicular, defying
would-be climbers. The president en-
ters an underground elevator at the
foot of the mountain and is whisked
up and down in this manner.

On his recent seventy-tifth birthday
when he gave away $3,500,000, An.
drew Carnegie remarked that he was
prouder of his schools than anything
else he had done for mankind. Mr..
Carnegie seems to be able to judge
pretty shrewdly as to the relative val
ue of his benefactions. His libraries
have been a good investment. They
are centers of influence for good in
numerous small places, but there is
more civilization in school like the
Carnegie Institute in Pittsburg than
in many libraries. Mr.. Carnegie could
not do better than to fix his mind on
industrial schools and arrange to en-
dow as many as possible in the years
remaining to him.

Captain Gleaves' command to "close

compartment was on fire was an order
which not every man could have mus

were in that compartment fighting
fire and this was reported to the cap

flames were making headway His
command was instantly obeyed-ths
exits were closed, the room flooded
and the fire extinguished, but at the
sacrifice of the three poor fellows who
were in that compartment putting
forth their utmost efforts to subdue
the flames. Though it has been de-

that the ship could not have been
