New York. Nov. 15.-Senor Don
Francisco De La Barra, Mexican am
bassador TO the United States, eX-
plained the attitude of his government
on the Rodriguez lynching in Tex
as and subsequent demonstrations
against Americans in Mexico, in ad
dressing the Quill Club at its annual
dinner tonight.
In former times he said. two na-
tions could be plunged into the hor
rcrs of war by the simple caprice OF
d sovereign. Today such thing would
be Impossible: the people impose their
will and within proper Bounds they
are the arbitrators of their deStenieS.
You have lately seen Il proof of the
brne iicial fleet Of such International
policy in the unhappy events which
have produced passing disturbances
on either side of cur frontier.
THE manifestation of public senti-
ment in Mexico. which would have
been easily eXplcable, within reason
able bounds. exceeded the limits re
quired by law. but my government.

repressed such unexpected disorders.
The American government was not re-
sponsiblc for the awful crime commit
for the acts which gave rise to Il pub

Chicago. Nov 10.-J. Ogden Armour.
head of Armour & Co. said today that
the whole tendency in the prices o.
live stock was lower. He also declared
that the descent would be gradual
and warned the public from expecting
too hastily the belief that a drop from
the highest to the lowest prices was
due.
THE packers prices to the retailers
are based entirely on what we have
to pay for the live animals" said Mr..
Armour. Generally speaking. prices
are lower. and | believe they are
working towards Il still lover level.
The present situation is the result of
the ennrmous corn crop and of pre-
virus high prices that stimul3ted
every body t. raise live stock.
THE public is getting the henelit of
present conditions and Snuld get fur
ther benefit as the increased supply Of
live stock reaches the market.
THE recent high price of meats and
picking house products cannot be at
tributed in any way to the packers. or
to any combination of persons or
firms engaged in the packing indus
try. 1t has been due to conditions that
developed from a scarcity and high
price for corn. wlich is the basis of
the supply Of live stock.

The statements simultaneously
made by the distinguished secretary
of state of the United States and by
the able and patriotic secretary of
foreign affairs of Mexico. show the
same sentiment of equity and contain
equal promise of an immediate and
effective solution of the case. My
government has already shown by its
pronlpt action in accordance with law
that it is fully aware of its obliga
tions, and ready to discharge them
consistently with the sovereign rights
of Mexico over whose integrity we are
ever Jealous.
The American government has al
ready begun careful and prompt
inquiry which will lead to the detec-
tion and punishment of those guilty
of the crime of Rock Springs When
this has been accomplished. in sin
cerc spirit Of justice. and other legal
consequences have been fulfilled, the
incident will be a matter of history.
But the lesson for the future will be
profitable one, without altering in
the slightest the friendship which ex-
lists between the two countries and the
two governments

The Crippen Prosecution.

London justice does not lag. Follow
ing quickly upon the return Of DR..
Crippen TO England after his capture
on the eve of landing in Canada came
the preliminary inquiry. or coroner's
inquest. which was prolonged beyond
the usual limit on account of the ex-
traordinary circumstances of the crime
Within a month from the landing in
England came the verdict of this jury
holding Crippen and his companion for
the crime of murder. Now, less than
three weeks from the formal accusa-
ton by the coroner's inquest. an indict-
ment is returned against both defend
ants. and the trial Is set for next Tues.
day. Considering the distance from
base to which the accused persons fled
and the peculiar nature of the evidence
against them, which called for the most
painstaking expert analysis, this is
quick work. The trial itself may not
proceed as swiftly as the traditions of
British justice suggest, but that 1t will
be protracted to the usual American
extent in such cases of strong popular
interest is not to be expected. The

uuent in his asseveration of his gentility.
The real gentleman or gentlewoman does
not need the aff1x gentle to denote the
innate quality of the man or the woman.
The designation "gentleman,' like the
title professor" has come to be so loose
ly and generally applied that those with
the best right to the name would rather
not use it, Preferring the fact to the
name, gentlefolk are willing to resign the
name to be the pet vulgarism of those
whose notion is that money and clothes,
not manners, make the man. 1t is not
what we style ourselves, but what we are.
that stamps US. in the worlds eyes, with
our true valuation. In our own country,
II often seems that men, with their indOc-
trinated notions of social equality, do not
sufficiently regard heredity, the feudal
tradition of servitude. class distinctions
and caste demarcations. One man seems
to think he is just as good as another.
No lese majesty law prevents his holding
and expressing his opinion Of President or
cabinet; he sees by the paper and he
speaks out his mind. In America smoi-
dering social bitterness breaks out i'm the
fame of a fierce agitation; there is no re-
pressing il permanently. There Is here
neither the serfdOm OF the siaclsed body
nor the slavery of the spirit. The grovel-
ing attitude is unknown: a man stands
erect in the debate Of peers.

Washington's Public Baths.

In the annual report of the superintend-
emf of the bathing beach lie notes the
fact that the public pools. inadequate as
they are in point of size and equipment,
were during the season used by nearly
10000 persons. This fact alone should
convince Congress of the necessity of
proceeding without further waste of time
or of money In the establishment OF a
free bathing outfit for the city of WASH
ington adequate in point of size and ia
cilities 10 accommodate the people of the
capital. With all the public land held
in reservation along the river front avail
able for such uses. the accommodations
afforded to bathers here pitifuly
meager. Whereas GO,OOO visits were
made to the pools during this past sum-
mer, ten times that number should have
been the record. and doubtless would
have been had the so-called beach been
worthy the name and the facilities such
as TO invite patronage.
DIR. Hudson recommends that children
be taught swimming in public schools.
This has been urged frequently in the
past. as drownings have occurred In this
vicinity to give emphasis to the lamen-
table fact that the average child today Is
helpless in the water. Hundreds of lives
have been sacrificed because this most
essential accomplishment has been neg
iected while the children have been
taught many utterly useless things and
trained along impractical lines of aca-
demic development. To put bathing pools
in the public schools would of course
cost money. But the saving in human
life resulting from such an investment
would be we'll worth the expenditure. If
twenty years ago such facilities were
added to the schools of the District thte
community would today be richer by
doubtless scores of useful men and women
whose names are now borne on the death
roll. victims of their inability to swim,
victims, in fact, of the negligence of those
empowered to give the children of the
capital this vitality essential training
The law properly prohibits swimming
IN the rivers and their affiuents. 1t is
undesirable that the streams should be
used openly for public bathing. But such
a prohibition should be accompanied by
provision to give opportunity for indul-
sence in what is virtually an instructive
love of the water. Apart from the mere
pleasure Of swimming, 1t should be de-
sired by those responsible for the physical
and moral welfare of this community to
encourage personal cleanliness. The stand
ards OF Individual living have been
raised. and efforts are made by official
and unofficial friends of humanity to
leach people how to live BEAUTIFULLY. Yet
