In Fear of Reyes.

President Diaz's recall of General
Reyes from France seems to have
aroused new suspicious among Madero
and his party in Mexico, for they are
unable to disassociate the name of
this famous soldier with war, and,
while protesting not to fear his mill
tary proves, yet, if reports correctly
reflect their state of feeling at his
coming, they would good deal rather
he remained in France than Mexico
The revolutionary leaders make no
pretense at concealing their uneasi-
ness at Diaz's action in recalling
Reyes. Avowedly they construe it as
an anti-peace measure, though they
may, of course, be entirely wrong.
In the meantime the peace ENJOYS
prepare for council and Diaz intimates
he wants Reyes to aid in re-establish-
ing peace. 1t is more reasonable to
take him at his word than to construe
It to mean precisely the opposite. OF
course, If the coming conference fails
of it's mission and war is resumed the
government will have the advantage
of Reyes services in directing its
army. and that is an advantage not to
be belittled.
This country will hope, however,
that Reyes return is for the purpose
of helping to close, not to widen, the
breach in Mexico. And then when
peace is restored probably he might
with general satisfaction, head one OF
the important departments of the gov
eminent and aid in a complete rehab-
ilitation.
One thing is quite certain, Mexico
needs the best services of it's ablest
men right now to readjust the unbal-
anced political and social equilibrium
and give it's institutions real stability

Pardons and Penalties.

In declining to pardon a man from
the penitentiary purely on sentimental
grounds, the governor of Georgia
enunciates the sound principle that
where a man has been fairly tried,
convicted and sentenced, pardon
solely for sentimental reasons is not
Justifable. This would be an excel
lent example for other governors to
follow The man and his friends
make no claim of miscarriage of JUS
tice in this case; they simply ask, vir-
tually admitting his guilt and fairness
of trial, that owing to certain mush
and milk considerations, he be par
doned and allowed to go free.
1t is easily believable that with
fewer pardons there would be fewer
crimes. Evasion of the penalty after
conviction and sentence weakens the
law to that extent and lessons peo-
pies fear of It. The law Furnishes no
man because it hates him and wants
to hurt him; it Furnishes him because
it cares enough to want him to become
better man. while at the same time
offering to society the measure of pro
lection to which 1t is entitled. The
St. Louis Times puts the point fairly
when 1t says:
Sentences mean opportunities for expia
ton; and the most conclusive proof OF
worth in those who offend is a willingness;
TO bear the consequences according TO the
| law.
If this particular Georgia offender
were entitled to a pardon merely for
the asking, so would every convict be
Abuse by executives or pardonine
boards of the pardon power for per.
sonal pull. sentimental reasons oil
other similar consideration is not the
best way to reform men or create
wholesome obedience of law.

Insurance and Industry.

The enormous growth of insurance
portrayed in figures is almost incredi-
BILE, but it should not be when re-
garded as a principle underlying every
business transaction, and even life
itself Every mans every motion ex-
poses him to certain and uncertain
risks which he cannot AFFORD to main
tain at his own expense, hence he
transfers it, for a consideration, to an
association of men whose risks he
helps to carry. No other provision
as practical as that can be made. And
the uncertainty as to the amount of
Naturalization diminishes. as the
number of associated risks increases
Insurance, that is, commercial in
surance, is supposed to have origi-
mated with transportation by water.
Men found they could not afford to
hazard their merchandise on stormy
oceans without making some pro-
vision for loss. So they resorted to
the principle of insurance. This is
nothing more nor less than the &C
formulation of funds set aside to make
good the losses to which one and all
are exposed. Death is a certain loss,
sickness and casualty uncertain, just
as is fire, tornado, flood, bombs, bur-
glary or anything that might impair
or destroy life or property. But the
classifications of insurance are almost
as numerous as human occupations
and increase with the spread of inven-
! ton. Even the detail of business
transaction involves divers other
forms of insurance, such as employ
ers' liability, credit, bond and fidelity.
The business man Of foresight is
not today taking unnecessary chances.
1t would undermine his stability in
business and his credit to do so. He
could not afford it for that reason
alone. So with each stride commerce,
industry or invention, makes, comes a
new kind or class of Insurance. With
plate-glass came an insurance to fit
lit; with the automobile came a spe-
cial kind of policy and undoubtedly
when the aeroplane shall have es-
tablished it's place it, too, will be pro-
tected by a form of policy to suit

ness, life, fire and commercial, is in.
deed enormous, but not surprising ex-

gious development Of our industrie:
and the alertness of our people to
take advantage of every means Of

Europe Inviting Tourists.

Reports come of the skill and sue
cess with which Switzerland and other
European countries are counting
American tourists. The notion had
gained some footing in this country
before the report came. But over
there shrewd resort keepers and bust
ness men In resort centers, even rail-
road managers, have cut their trade
lines to meet the Americans DISPOSE

the bone as an inducement to Amer
lean travel. This may be news to
some American travellers in Europe,
who have been unable to discover any
appreciable cutting, especially in vital
places.
Yet, of course, the European is do
ing what he can to cultivate this
profitable trade from the United
States. The claim is made that one
may visit. for instance, In Switzerland

the time he leaves New York, than IL

A Magic Circle.

A strange combination OF two
things has revolutionized conditions
among the farmers of the great
middle-west-automobiles and inten-
sive agriculture. A few years ago,
when the railroads first began sending
out their "seed corn specials" they
encountered in most places a rather
passive interest in their enterprise.
Some localities were even inimical to
II. TITS another one of those literary
farming schemes" was heard on oc-
casions.
But the attitude of the farmer is
very different today. The seed corn
special is still in vogue. but SO is the
land show, the corn exposition, the
agricultural college and other agen-
ces for propagating the gospel OF max
ing two blades OF grass grow where
but one grew before. Intensive farm
ing has proved itself. so that it no
longer begs for a hearing. but holds
the center OF the stage. True, il has
much yet to do before perfecting its

mission, but it is revolutionizing the
farm and it's profits.
One Of the current magazines pre-
sents an illustrated article on the seed
corn special and IN one place in Iowa
the train is shown surrounded by doz-
ems of vehicles filled with happy, pros
provisioning farmers. Their vehi-
Giles are not dilapidsted wagons, or
carts, or old buggies or buckboards--
they are automobiles. They look as
II they we're large, expensive ones.
Indeed, there is just a suggestion of
humor in the picture. The expert
stands upon the rear platform of the
train telling the farmer how he may
raise better crops, and the farmer
beams broad smile upon him from
his big, fine auto.
Evidently a magic circle envelopes
the farmer. Intelligent farming be-
gets automobiles and automobiles help
for more intelligent farming.

been to some OF our American resorts,
for If any of them has ever thought
of cutting rates it doubtless will be
matter of general news.
SO the steamship lines predict, on
the basis Of reservations, greater
European traffic this year than ever.
One is not prepared to question It, de-
spite the little letting down Of bust
ness tension just now, There are
plenty of Americans with surplus
money and a love for a good time,
and there are. enough tourists for all,
borrowing an expression of a great
sea captain. American pleasure re-
sorts have not and will not suffer from
the patronage by Americans of Eu-
ropean resorts. We are able to keep
them all going and then have money
left. What is far more important is
that Americans who travel do not
overlook the advantage to be gained
from touring their own country and
becoming better acquainted with It's
points of beauty and interest than
they are with those of any foreign
land.

Focus.

The veriest amateur in photography
knows that view of an object may
be completely distorted by being out
of focus. and thus give an entirely
wrong notion of its relative proper
lions. To get the correct focus the
eye of the camera must be neither too
close nor too far from what is to be
photographed.
So it is with the human vision,
though merely a mental photograph,
the same precision of focus is neces-
sary to arrive at relative values. The
trouble with too many people is that
their minds focus wrong, and grasp
events at either too near or too great
distance. or from extreme angles, or
magnify unimportant details at the
expense of the vital elements.
The man who is out of focus with
his surroundings or with the subject
he is discussing is quite common, and
the peculiar ideas of which he be-
comes obsessed are as bizarre as a
photograph made by a freak camera
To get such a man back into focus Il
much more difficult than to adjust q
lens, yet that is precisely what must
be done in order TO give him clear per,
ception and enable him to see things
in their right relation.

Clean Railway Stations.

The Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany did wise and beneficent thing
when it offered prizes to its station
masters for the best kept depot, TAX

that. The station must be kept az

rapidity.
Indeed, this is an example thai

II is not often that we have the pleasure
Of presenting the world an original con-
ception. This one has the distinction OF
combining two things which belong to-
gether, but which, as far as we are aware,
have not hitherto been Joined The con-
sensus of opinion is general today that a
graduated inheritance tax is one of the
most Just forms of taxation, and also one
of the best ways of checking the over
concentration of wealth. 1t is likewise
coming to be more and more agreed that
the limitation of offspring among the we'll
to-do growing out of the love or luxury is
degenerate tendency which ought TO be
combated. Why not have an inheritance
tax, heavily graduated, and applying only
to fortunes over a certain amount, and
then have large rebates where the family
is numerous? Suppose three men die each
worth q million dollars. One is childless;
the state takes perhaps 20 per cent of his
fortune. Another has three children; the
state takes 10 per cent. Another has six
children and escapes the inheritance tax
altogether. There would be considerable
influence in such a law, not only because
of the actual money consideration, but also
because of the implied expression of public
opinion. What objection would there be
to carrying the idea still further, so that
those who are in the best situation to
bring up children shall be penalized, in
other forms of taxation also, IL they avoid
that duty and favored IL they perform it?

Neither Alliance Nor Disarmament

London observed with great pomp
and ceremony, and that, too, in the
venerable Guild hail." England's ap-
proval of the Anglo-American peace
treaty, and in the midst of the cele-
bration Mr.. Balfour and Mr.. Asquith
wisely reminded Britons that this is
simply a peace pact, and neither an
alliance between the two nations nor
an agreement for disarmament. That
is fact which needs to be kept before
the world. This treaty, proposed by
the president of the United States and
accepted by Great Britain, binds these
governments only to submit to arbi-
tration all difficulties arising between
them and in the interval to avoid war.
And this is definitely enunciated by
the participating powers, though 9TH
ers have sought to twist the pact into
different forms and constructions. It
is natural, though regrettable, that
some other nations might wish to
spread the wrong impression abroad
as to the meaning and intention OF
this agreement, but Englishmen and
Americans should not permit them
selves to be deceived as to either.
The press dispatches say that this
great meeting at Guild hall repre-
scented the democracy Of England
rather than the aristoeracy That Is
the more gratifying to Americans
since it is toward democracy they like
to believe the course Of Britain Is
tending. II discloses an international
spirit OF good will and amity thai
