Impediments to Peace in Mexico.

4mpeulmenLS 10 fedce IN mexico.
A new element of uncertainty seems
to have arisen to impede the consum-
nation of peace plans in Mexico in
the homecoming OF General Reyes.
The rebels have never been quite sure
In their own minds just why President
Diaz urged the return of the old war
rior, and now that the rumor is afloat
that he is to be the real head of the
reorganized republic with De Ia
Barra as a figurehead in the position
of provisional president, the spirit of
distrust flames up anew.
OF course the government and the
friends of Reyes resent the imputa-
ton, insisting that he will neither
block peace voluntarily nor involun-
tarily, for he will be too alert to let
his name or influence be made the
tool of Others selfish aims And to
prove his sincerity, Diaz, reports say,
has asked Reyes to remain at Havana
until peace is perfected.
The unfortunate feature Of these
latest phases of the negotiations now
pending is the utter lack OF real
mutual confidence between the fac
tions in Mexico. Indeed, there is
scarcely substantial faith among the
leaders OF any one party. Suspicion,
skepticism and incredulity have
marked and marred every step taken
in the direction OF peace since the me-
gotiations first began. That is per-
haps natural and It is also natural
that the successful leaders OF the re-
beilton should want TO hold on to
the fruits Of victory, but reciprocal
good faith will have to be the corner
stone of restored peace

Corporation Books Must Be Given I'd
for Judicial Inspection.

New York Post
The claim of the constitutional privilege
of refusing TO give self-incriminaung evil
dence has been pushed to such preposterous
lengths that any victory won In fight
against such abuses is to be heartily well
comed. BY its decision In the United
Wireless contempt case, the supreme court
put a quietus on at least one Of the morbid
excrescences that have grown so luxurl-
antly out of what was originally a sound
and simple principle designed 10 prevent
persecution and injustice. AS a result of
this decision, an official Of a corporation
cannot refuse to give up possession Of It's
books for examination by grand jurtes or
courts, on the plea that ne may be incrim-
mating himself by SO doing. It Is to be
hoped that the decision, though nothing
more than what most sensible lawyers
probably regarded as q matter OF course,
may have some moral effect upon courts
generally. beyond It's legal implications.
The decision itself rests expressly upon the
peculiar status of a corporation, as dis
tingulshod from an Individual; but II the
supreme court had bSen inclined TO invest
the privilege with that ali-embracinB
sanetlty which has been ascribed TO It BY
some OF our courts, It would have found
no difficulty In enabling II to cover the

New York World. r

New York World. e.
The essential point in the draft Of pro-
posed unlimited arbitration treaty which
has been approved by the president for
submission to the British and French am
bassadors is the omission of the exceptions
in former treaties relating to questions OF
vital interest and national honor"
Jealousy of innovation, the statesman
chief foible, is flattered by the provision
of a special formula for the settlement OF
questions which are thought to be not
internationally justiciablei" and by the
clause that arbitration az final resort
shall be invoked in each case with 1.-The
advice and consent of the United States
senate" But In such event the treaty
binds the nations to salutary delay, which
should make it easy TO find common
ground of peaceful agreement or TO accept
gracefully an arbitral award.
More important than the exact provisions
of the proposed treaty is the fact that the
treaty is proposed. More important and
most welcome OF ali is the international
public opinion that insists upon its framing
and ratification

ABUSES OF PATENT MONOPOLY.
AmasinE Congo PerDetratsd Under
Cover of Law.

Houston Post.
The public has long suffered from exac-
lions growing out OF the abuses of the
patent monopoly which our laws leave so
completely unrestricted. To cure one OF the
worst OF such abuses Congressman Peters
Of Massachusetts, has introduced in the
house a bill. the purpose of which must
in the course Of time receive the serious
consideration of congress-when the well
fare OF the country rather than the for
tunes OF political parties becomes the NOV
ing impulse in legislation.
The bin introduced by Mr.. Peters forblds
any owners OF letters patent covering tools,
machinery or any appliance or device, to
make It a condition OF any sale. lease or
license 20 use such patented article, that
the purchaser, lessee or licensee shall not
buy, lease or use. whether in connection
with the use Of such article or otherwise.
amy machinery. tools. implements. sppli-
anees, material or merchandise OF any per-
son, firm. corporation or association other
than such vendor. lessor or lieensor." Such
owner OF patents Is also forbidden TO re-
woke any sale lease or license 10 use, on
account OF the purchase. lease or use OF
the machinery. etc.
This" says the New York Journal OF
Commerce, lis plainly aimed at the kind
OF monopoly that 10 exercised by what is
known as the shoe machinery trust In
Massachusetts. whose methods have been
made familiar 20 the public.
An instance Is cited In which a shoe
manufacturing concern. after a long con
test with the trust" succeeded in equip
ping It's factory completely with newly In
vented machines for which Il held the pat
ents. some Of them being improvements
upon anything previously patented. No
sooner did its competition begin 70 be
seriously felt and threaten 20 extend In
the industry than It was bought out by
the trust at huge profit 70 the selling
concern.
The government grants the monopoly n
the patents. but as such monopoly u no,

tract can not be forbidden or prevented
