his wife, followed by the party OF
thirty, moved slowly across the bridge
in a procession of automobiles, cheers
rang through the air. the deafening
applause from the American side be-
ing taken up across the border by
an even more demonstrative crowd.
General Madero made a brief address
of thanks for the demonstration.
When Senior Madero reached the
municipal building, he was escorted to
a balcony where the only untoward
incident of the day occurred.
Senor Madero was being introduced
by Manuel Lopez, who for some un-
explained reason took occasion to de-
nounce Benito Juarez as an African
robber who had separated the church
and state. Senior Madero moved to-
ward young Lopez. A dozen hands
quickly seized the young man
and showed him through the door.
The crowd applauded. He was imme-

then spoke and defended Juarez, after
which he turned to discussion of the

those equitable trade relations with
Canada which can be reached only by

There is another aspect of the Can

it constitutes an important innovation
upon past and present commercial

existing conditions than the selfish

DR.. C. W. ELIOT
ON CRIMINALITY
Believes SchooImasters Can do
More to Lessen it Than
Church


Cambridge, Mass, April A-Former
President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
believes that the schoolmasters must
be factors in lessening criminality in
the rising generation, and that the
future Of Democracy lies not with the
Church or the medical profession,
which he says have been failures in
assisting the progress Of society to-
ward cleanliness and virtue
DR.. Eliot says: ITO what are we
going to look for the progress of So
ciety toward cleanliness and virtue?
To my mind there are two possible
remedies-the new science of preven-
tive medicine and a modification Of
the public schools. I hope by these
two methods society may see it's way
to wage war against it's principal
evils.
eve must modify our schools so as
to pick out the abnormal children and
put them where they be properly treat
ed. This will cost lot of money, but
it ought to be done. Society must
take hold of the social service work

THE COMPENSATION ACT

The mass meeting which took place,
las night, in the interest of the
We~sm0n's Compensation bill and The
Trade Dispute bill is one of a series
of meetings which are to be held
throughout the State. which should be
productive of good. The mass meeting
has ever been one of the most useful
means in the hands of the people to
enforce their views upon unwilling
rulers. or reluctant servants in Leg
islatures. AS a method it is far SUI
perior to entrusting the welfare Of
proposed legislation to legislative
committee, with the expectation that
what is desired will be lobbied through.
The Farmer has long pointed out that
Workmens Compensation is the only
socially just, method Of compensating
for industrial accidents, and a means
far SURPRISING what can be accom-
plished by changes in the Employer
Liability Law.
The utmost that can be accomplish
ed in the latter direction is the statu-
tory abrogation Of the common law
doctrine of contributory negligence,
fellow servant and risk Of the bus
mess. The injured employee, or his
dependents in event of his death, must
still seek the courts for remedy, must
hire lawyers, pay costs and engage
in all the difficulties Of litigation.
But compensation provides certain
payment for injuries, removes the
matter from the courts, gives the en-
tire sum to the injured person, or his
heirs, and is in the end little if any
more costly than the cumbersome
scheme which it succeeds.
Upon reflection employers will per-
ceive these truths and realize also that
since the cost is charged into the
goods, the plan is actually a great in
surance scheme, conducted in the most
economical way.
No portion Of the platform adopted
by the Democratic party at its last
State convention is more commendable
than it's pledge in favor Of a Work.
mems Compensation law.
It is difficult to see how the Leg
is1ature can refuse to adopt a strong
act, inasmuch as, conn elled by the
logic of circumstances, the last Re-
publican candidate for Governor sub
stantially endorsed the principle of
compensation, as expressed in the
Democratic platform, and committed
his party thereto.
Moreover the chance that the AS
sembly will yield to public demand
are increased by the commendable
activity of labor unions for the bill.
The Trades Dispute bill, although it's
principles have been received in other
countries, is in a more difficult situa-
ton, since it lacks the official support
Of the great parties.

APOLOGY COMING
To MISS BEERS
Secretary Meyer Orders One to
Yale Professors Daughter
From Naval Academy

New Haven, April 24-Secretary Of
the Navy Won Meyer has demanded
that an apology be made by Captain
John H. Bowyer, superintendent Of
the Naval, academy at Annapolis to
Miss Mary II. Beers, of this city, as
result Of the slight offered to Miss
Beers when a midshipman was repri-
manded for accompanying her to a So
cial function at the academy. Miss
Beers, who is the daughter of Pro-
fessor Beers of the English depart
ment at Yale, had been acting as a
companion and mothers helper to
Mrs. Tarrant, wife of a lieutenant Of
the Naval Academy, and while thus
employed had been escorted to a hop
by the young midshipman. Someone.
reported to the academy authorities
the status of Miss Beers in the Tar
rant family. and raised vigorous objec-
ton to a servant attending the affairs
Of the academy.
The whole incident raised a storm Of
protest throughout the country at the
snobbery displayed by attendants at
an institution supported by Uncle
Sam.
Representative Korbley of Indiana
polls called the attention of the war
secretary to the facts and received
only expressions of regret as to the
Misunderstanding that grew out Of
wrong interpretations Of the standing
of Miss Beers
This did not satisfy the Congress-
man from Ohio and he wants an poll
ogy to Miss Beers. AS a result an
apology to both Miss Beers and her
father is called for. Captain Bowyer
in his letter to the navy department,
expressed his willingness to apologize
The family of Miss Beers maintains
the same attitude that it has shown
throughout the sensation, disposition
to say nothing whatever about the
case. They have not sought an apol-
ogy and much of the notoriety with
which the case has been vested has
been SO distasteful to them that they
would have much preferred to let the
matter drop. but not so those who
were interested in the case from a
standpoint Of right and wrong. A
member of the family said that when
the apology is received the incident
will be considered closed.

PROGRESSlVES TWO IN
PARTY, BUT ONE IN FAITH

Party lines are not drawn so closely
in the Senate and House as they used
10 be. Republican and Democratic
progressives are much nearer together
in political faith and ideals than are
Democratic progressives and Demo-
cratic reactionafes, or Republican pro-
gressives and Republican reactionar-
les. LaFollette of wisconsin, and
Owen OF Oklahoma, are in closer eco
nomic relationship than Owen and
Bailey Of Texas, or LaFollette and
Aldrich of Rhode Island, the latter
happily now retired from Senatorial
honors.
Fortunately, as recent votes upon
important measures show, the Demo-
cratic progressives are followed by
practically the entire party representa-
ton in Congress. but the Republican
progressives are still a minority of
their political organization.
Denied representation on important
committees in Republican caucus the
progressives have turned to the DEM
ocratic majority in the House and
have not been disappointed. This is
as il should be. Already Republican
progressives are beginning to see
clearly that nothing but a great de-
feat In a Presidential election will
purge the Republican party of the
elements of reaction and privilege.
This end can be accomplished only
through cooperation with the Demo-
cratic party, which has almost entirely
freed itself of influences which make
for evil. The last issue Of LaFol-
lette's contains an article which may
be deemed prophetic. In discussing
the result in Chicago the writer finds
that the element in the Republican
party which has hitherto represented
the great corporations was opposed to
Merriam, Republican candidate for
Mayor The writer reaches the con-
eiusion that this element can only be
driven from power by administering
such defeat to the Republican ma
chine as will deprive it of all existing
patronage. 1t is further asserted
that this can only be accomplished by
cooperation with the Democratic
party.
The outlook is hopeful. No longer

THE WAR IN MEXICO

There is every prospect that the END
OF the war in Mexico is in sight.
Diaz has signified his wish to talk
peace terms and a five days arrnistice
has been declared for the purpose.
tice covers the forces in a limited
neighborhood. but since most OF the
disturbance is in this locality will
doubtless be effective over the entire
seat of the trouble.
The rebellion, for such it is, arises
from the fact that the ballot has
never been made in Mexico an effec-
tive means for expressing public
opinion, principally because under the
domination of Diax 1t has been i'm
possible to hold open, free and fair
elections.
The lesson is brought home that that
country will be freest from violence
in which democratic means for public
expression are most fully developed
and protected.
A vote which may be cast and
counted takes the place of q rifle in

war in Mexico can scarcely be re-
garded as tolerable. The world Is
50 far reduced to order that the right
to commit breach of the peace
inheres only in the great nations,
which. having powerful ornaments,
can maintain their right by force.
But modern capitalism, whatever
may be the charges against it, is a
social condition that makes powerfully
for peace. Americans have a billion
dollars invested in Mexico. Foreign
ers have nearly as much more. Hence,
throughout the world there is opposi-
ton to a disturbance in Mexico, by
reason Of which railroads are cut,
property destroyed and business sus-
pended.
Occasionally wars stin happen be-
cause capital wishes to extend the
area of profitable investment with the
sword. but for the most part the
banker. the manufacturer and the in
weston are forces that make for peace.
