Without exception all these men
have contributed valuable services to
their country and to- their president,
but the popular feeling against them
has been growing steadily since long

Enrique c.. Creel is not by any
means in the decrepit class, but he
has fallen under the displeasure. of the
forces opposing the administration and
his age serves as an excuse.
Jose Yves Limantour is an old man
but yet regarded as one of the
shrewdest and most able in the re.

will not be pleased at his retention.

Mexico City. Mexico. - The liaz
cabinet has resigned. Following q
meeting OF that body every minister
tencerc,l his resignation to General
Diaz. As yet none Of the designations
have been accepted, but on excellent
authority It is stated that but two of
the ministers-and possibly not more
than one-wiii be asked to retain his
portfolio. In diplomatic circles and
among high government officials 1t is
assumed that General Diaz will insist
upon Jose Yves Limantour remaining
in charge of the department Of finance.
Members Of the cabinet refuse to
comment upon their action, but it is
stated semi-oficially that the initiative
was taken not by them. but by the
president, who, it is said, proposed to
surround himself with younger men In
the hope that such action will serve
to unite all elements of the nation.
1t is probable that the acceptance of
the resignation will be coincident with
the announcement of the names of the
new. ministers. This announcement
may not be made for some days.
Who will compose the new cabinet
is not publicly known, but it may be
said they will be men who have not
taken prominent part in the govern
ment affairs. Neither will it include
any who have been identified with the
revolutionary movement
Included in the designations was
that of Ramon Corral as minister of

Hardening Of the Arteries.

There comes time IN the -iIves OF
many persons when, after a period
of vague and perhaps very gradual
loss of health and strength, the
physician makes his examination
and utters the word "ArtenoscleTo-
sis,p as expressing the condition
he finds.
The physical state covered by
this word is hardening of the
arteries. 1t may be considered
physically inseparable from extreme
age, but many persons are doomed
to hear 1t fan too soon. In the
young it may be the result of mus
cular overexertion, whether that
takes the form of too much hard
work or too much hard play; or it
may result from long continued
grief or fretting. An unhappy love
affair met without philosophy, or
prolonged homesickness has often
cut the prime of lifetime and
brought about such a condition of
the sufferers arterial system that
youth and premature age met face
to face, without any of the merciful
graduation that nature intended.
When this disease comes upon
one in middle life, 1t is generally
tradegy born of foolishness, especi-
ally when the individual is one
whose circumstances and grade of
intelligence should furnish the
ability to apply common sense
to daily life. Such a one is often
benefited by good plain talk, in
which hope and warning may be
mixed in equal proportions.
The hopeful outlook should be
vigorously insisted upon. There
are good grounds foi it, for If pre-
mature artenosclerosis is attacked
early enough and strenuously en-
ougb, it can be held in check for
years. But the note of warning
also must be vigorous, for the pa
tient must largely work out his own
salvation.
Unfortunately, the sufferer is often
hard TO manage. The very symp-
toms of his trouble make him Irri-
table, intolerant of advice, and
stubborn about his own course. He
IS very averse to necessary exercise,
and absolutely certain that he is an
abstemious eater. He will aver that
he takes meat but once day, stoutly
refusing to allow that two eggs for
breakfast and 4 vmade dish" for
luncheon should come under that
head.
Such case is hopeless unless q
strict regime is followed, at least
until an improvement is noticed.

ed ability to sleep and the sense OF
we'll beng are SO appreciated by the

RECIPROCITY with Canada is not
an untried experiment. During the
twelve years of the operation of the
reciprocity treaty of 1854 the volume
of yearly trade between the two
countries was more than quadrupled.
This means that the common advan-
tage of the two people was also
quadrupled. Men do not buy and
sell without prohting thereby. There
can be no greater exhibition OF
governmental stupidity than the
erection of 5000 miles of tariff wall
to prevent profitable intertrading
between next door neighbors.

Why Keep Up a Losing Battle?

Nearly every industrial law of a
remedial character which has been
enacted in Illinois has been opposed
by the manufacturers affected by IT.
II has been fought by them in the
legislature, before governor, and in
the courts. Therefore It is the cause
of no surprise to find the employers
demanding that Gov. Deneen veto
the liability bill and the working
mems compensation bill. lie should
not be influenced by them. The bills
should be signed.
1t would be better for the manu-
facturers to accept the situation
gracefully instead of prolonging a
contest which can end only in defeat.
The rising tide of popular sentiment
which demands the industrial legis-
lation the manufacturers are oppos-
ing cannot be stopped by anything
they may say or do. The sooner
they understand that the better will
it be for them. They would have
displayed greater wisdom if they had
not blocked legislation in the past
by lobbying against 1t.
These laws Will not hurt the manu-
featuring industries of Illinois. No
industry can be injured by the far
treatment OF its wage earners. No
better method of providing Illinois
manufacturers with an ample supply
of complete workers could be devils
ed than that of giving them rights
not yet granted in some other states.
But whatever the reasoning of self
interest may be, the public consci-
ence demands that the principle of
compensation for industrial acci-
dents to be established in place of
present unjust and wasteful system
of litigation. The objectors to this
carefully considered law are setting
themselves against a social reform
which they as citizens ought 10 sup
port, rather than obstruct. Other
states have passed or are considering
laws to inaugurate this reform. llli-
nois should take its place in the line.
