Taft's Warning.

AS notice has been served on Ameri-
cans to keep out OF harm Is way in
Mexico, it is argued that the admins.
tration cannot be held accountable for
evil results following a disregard Of
President Taft S warning.
Military leaders in Mexico, federal
or rebel. who. in violation of interna.
tional rules of war. deliberately bring
about the execution of a prisoner of
war. are considered guilty Of murder
under international law. If a rebel
leader, having caused the death Of an
American. comes within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States, he is certain
to be arrested and turned over TO the
Mexican government with the expecta-
tion that lie would be tried on the
charge of murder.
Mexican rebels seem 10 hayo been con-
filming their efforts recently 10 harassing
railroad trains. killing officials and de-
laying traffic. They held up a train on
the Tehuantepec railroad near Santa Lu-
cretia yesterday and demanded arms, and
below Juchitan. ON the Pan-Amsrican
railroad, traffic again was interrupted.

Fergus Mccarthy, Of the d
building, who is an acknowledged
weather prognosticator, has been Sc
verely tried during the past two
months. Never in all his long career
as a non-professional weather expert
has he encountered such remarkably
fast changes in the temperature.
Fergus's unsullied reputation IN pre-
dieting weather did not suffer. Still
he wonders how the ordinary laymen
who are not so gifted In prophecy
have been able to prepare for the
rapid changes.
Mayor Haussling received a letter
the other day, which he thought was
an invitation to some affair and
was greatly astonished on opening it
to find a hfty-cent piece in 1t.
That's funny remarked the mayor,
"for anyone to send me carfare." His
mind was quickly relieved on reading
the communication, which was a no.
tice to appear as a witness in the Dis
trict Court. The money was the GUS
tomary witness fee.

FRIDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 2. 1912.
INVESTIGATION IN PROPER SEASON.

ATa HERE is a homely proyerb that one should not bite off more
III than he can chew. Levelheaded Democrats in Congress
feel that they have on their hands now as much business
in the way of fighting the trusts, procuring tariff reform and en-
deayoring to cheaper the necessaries of life for the people, as
will keep them busy all the year. What they are trying to do
II of a nature to bring immediate benefit to the people and they
don't want to be diverted from it, nor do they want the public mind
to be switched off to something else not of immediate Importance.
That states the attitude of these leaders on the proposition to
start an elaborate investigation of the financial institutions of the
country with a view to finding out if there is a money trust. The
scope of such an inquiry would be lmitless and the investigation
would be unending. 1t would have to take the widest range, going
into financial transactions for several years and laboriously tracing
the relations of one financial interest with another. Meanwhile,
what would be Its effect on business generally? What effect would
it not have on large enterprises? Again, it may be asked if a pres
idential election year, when partisan politics is rife and peoples
Judgment is largely influenced by partisanship, is the proper time
for such an investigation, either by a special committee o a regu-
lar committee of Congress? What particular attention would the
average man during an exciting presidential campaign pay to All
investigation dragging along day after day with details that only
the few could understand? After the election, when peoples
minds are composed and when there is no candidate to elect, is
the proper season for investigations of 50 grave and comprehensive

THE QUESTION OF GARBAGE DISPOSAL.

II 7 is practicable to dispose of a city's garbage at a profit instead
I'll of paying a contractor a large sum annually to carry it away.
A number of cities in the United States have incineration
plants that are operated successfully. The late Mayor Haynes
visited some of these plants and was SO well impressed that he
tried to get the plan adopted in Newark, but without success.
New York pays a contractor a million dollars a year to collect and
dispose of its garbage and the Board of Estimate will now try to
sell the garbage. The Newark Board of Works is also considering
a plan of the development of electricity by using the garbage as
fuel in an incinerating plant. If American cities were run on
scientific principles or even on business commonsense their gar
hage would be treated as a great source of wealth instead merely
as a nuisance to be gotten rid of at any expense.

A MILLION A DAY IN THE sUBWAYs.

1TE HAT the subway is the logical solution of the transit problem
Ill in large cities is shown by the fact that New Yorks tubes
not counting the Hudson and Manhattan system, carried in
December 2S,495555 passengers or more than 100000 in excess of
the total business of the four elevated lines in Manhattan and the
Bronx for the same period. With the usual count of Sundays and
holidays as half days for statistical purposes this means that sub
way traffic has passed the million daily average. 1t is satisfactory
to note that there were more cars and more seats relatively to the
number Of riders than a year ago,

POSTMASTERs ACTIVE FOR TAFT.

1a HE rule forbidding postmasters to engage actively in politics
III evidently has been suspended this year. In Ohio a private
call was sent out to all the postmasters in the State TO meet
in Columbus on Tuesday, the day when President Taft was In the
city, to Compare notes." A strong protest against this offensive
craftsmanship was forwarded to the postmaster general, who doubt
less has already called the Presidents attention to the infraction
Of the rule. 1t lis presumed that the postmasters saw Mr.. Taft and
probably Mr.. Taft wondered what brought all the Ohio postmasters
to Columbus on that particular day.

ALASKA AND OTHER MATTERS.

tn RESIDENT TAFTS latest instalment of his serial message
Ie comes under the head of miscellany. In its leading topic,
the public domain, with especial reference to Alaska, it is
an echo of the recommendations in the recent report of Secretary
of the Interior Fisher. Chief among the recommendations are
that coal lands be put on the lease instead of the feesimple basis;
that the government build and own a trunk railroad from Seward,
on Resurrection bay, to the Matanuska coal fields. and let it out,
and that a commission government be established for the terri
tory. On the question of water power sites Mr.. Taft adopts the
view OF Mr.. Fisher that they should be let directly by the govern
ment to those who exercise a public franchise. the rental to create
q fund to be expended by the government for improvements, the
state to regulate the charges for the converted power. The estab
Iishment of a bureau of national parks is advised. One recon,
Inendation, a ongwinded one, is for a conference with foreign
nations to establish an international commission to look into the
high cost of the necessaries of life. But the American people are
doing a little investigating for themselves without administration
help. Another looks to the formation of a commission to deal
with labor troubles.

A VITAL BRITISH NAVAL DEFECT.

Pts HE British admiralty has suddenly awakened to the fact that
the navy is dangerously deficient in torpedoboat destroyers,
which are indispensable for battleships. A new fleet of
these swift protectors of batteships from the torpedo is to be
huilt. Our navy also is deficient in this respect, but the truth
may not be impressed upon the mind of Congress, perhaps. until
nome day when the emergency arises and some of our dreadnoughts
are torpedoed. Then slowthinking and Indifferent congressman
will be falling over each other to vote an appropriation.

0UTcRoPpNds OF ANTI TAF7 SENTIMENT.

II N eleven Of the district Republican conventions in Indiana on
IlxWednesday the Taft men failed to get Endorsements for Taft.
In Chicago fftyfour ward caucuses declared for Roosevelt
against Taft. These things were happening when Taft was cam
peigning in Ohio. Evidently the statement issued by Secretary
SHiles expressing confidence in the denomination of Taft was in
tended to offset these events. But the Roosevelt movement goes
an just the same and even in Pennsylvania it is so strong and
aggressive that the Taft leaders there are in a panic.

FIRST OF SOCIALIST LORDS
Earl Russell Aims at the Ma
tionalization of Land.
fBy Cable TO The Tribune.

London, Dec. 14.-By openly joining
the Fabian Society Earl Russell has de-
clared himself a Socialist and has
achieved the distinction of being the
first Socialist member of the House Of
Lords, which hitherto has been exclu-
sively anti-democratic. Politicians are
deeply interested in the Lords views OF
Earl Russelrs declaration. Replying 90
an inquiry as TO why he Endorsed the
principles of Socialism, Earl Russell
said:
MY reason is simply general agree
ment with the Socialist idea of placing
the control OF industry and the means
OF production in the hands Of society
for the benefit Of the masses, and in
this connection | attach special inn
portance to the naturalization Of
land"

title, which was created in 1861 for his
grandfather, Lord John Russell, of Re-

thirteen years later, his father having
died two years before. He is a land

MRS. ASQUITH TALKS TO
LONDON UNEMPLOYED
Wife of Premier Explains to
Them the Philosophy Of
Their Situation.
rBy Cable to The TrIbune.I

. London. Dec. 14.-Mrs. Asquith, wife
of the Premier, seized the occasion to
visit this week the Church Army
Labor Relief depot and to express her
views on labor in it's relation to un-
employment She said that the solution
of the problem OF the unemployed could
not be found in tariff reform or in any
system Of that sort. There is no way
TO do il. she declared. except by love,
and there is no other way OF serving
God except by serving fellow creatures
Regarding different causes Of unem-
ployment, she divided them between
sickness and want of character; both
affected the sick as well as the poor,
but the poor were the greater SUI
ferers from IT,
At Mrs. Asquith's request seVerai
workers gave their experiences as 10
the causes >. their unemployment as
they understood them. One old fellow
promptly replied, Gray hairs" This
evoked the remark from Mrs. Asquith,
Alas that is sometimes So Another
laborer answered. mo sympathy"
Another said in his case il was due to
the underwriting OF female labor
through the introduction Of labor saw
ing machines. Another declared It was
through slackness OF trade. Yet an
other said he met sympathy from both
the rich and the poor. Mrs. Asquith
replied: II think the poor are very
sympathetic To the poor. They help
each other more than the rich help the
poor" One old man, who said he was
q stone sawyer, couldn't get a job
through the Introduction OF machinery.
Mrs. Asquith said: You are a suf-
ferer in the transition stage. When
trains first came into use there was a
most awful row and an cutlery that
they were doing away with the coach
trade, and during that miserable tran
sition stage undoubtedly many We're
