International Lumber and Develop
ment Co. of Philadelphia has 288, 900
acres of fertile land in Campeche,
with millions of mahogany and cedar
trees.
The Mexican Telegraph Co. is
owned largely by the MOrgans and
Vanderbilts.
The banks of the country are con-
trolled by British, French and Ger
man houses. Most of the hardware
concerns, are in German hands. The
largest oil interests are owned by
British investors, especially Lord
Cowdray.
The street railways and light and
power plans at Mexico City and near
by are owned by a British-American
corporation headed by Dr.. F. S. Pear
son of New England.
As an American how would you
feel it foreigners had gobbled up most
of the producing riches Of the United
States?
You'd love the foreigners, wouldn't
you?
Or would you rebel against having
your birthright taken away from

Murphy on Pure Elections.

In his denial Of Mr.. Mitchels charge that he plans
to import an army of repeaters to help Tammany In
the coming election Charles f. Murphy makes dis
tnction where there is difference. He objects to
the charge being made against himself by name, but
has nothing to say about its having been made
against Tammany Hall, Of whom he Is which, as
Josh Billings would have put it. Referring to the
Mcclellan. Hearst contest, he says:
The cry of ballot box stufing and importing re-
peaters Immediately raised but entirely dis
proved by the recount of the ballots in the Supreme
Court. The result Of that proceeding showed that
the election had been conducted honestly.
The result Of that proceeding showed nothing Of
the sort 1t showed that the counting Of the ballots
had been done In manner as nearly approaching
exactness as could have been expected in the rush
and hurry Of Election Night. 1t did not show. how
many Of those ballots deposited in the boxes
unlawfuy, how many times the same persons
voted In different polling places, how many per-
sons voted who had no right to cast ballots.
The Murphy rebutta goes wide of the mark and
will convince no one who is familiar with Tam
manys election methods.

Fusion's Need of Funds.

Every voter who believes that Tammany Hall
should be kept out of power in this city and the
fusion ticket elected should give what financial as
sstance he can to the cause. Murphy is able TO
keep a full war chest Contributions from the sa-
loonkeepers, the gamblers. the law evaders and the
lawbreakers 90 to Tammany naturally. The FUSION
campaign can well do without such CONTRIBUTORS
but 1t needs and is entitled to the financial aid OF
the decent, law-abiding taxpayers who hope for an
honest progressive and economical administration
Of the city's affairs.
It takes money to defend the city from Tam
many. and every cent spent that way Is we'll spent
The fusion campaign has already gone far on small
means 1t would be pitifu indeed, If splendid
work should be checked at the crisis of the light be-
cause OF lack Of means. This Is the peoples hght'
Their voices their votes and their money should De
given freely to protect the city from Tammany, an
organized appetite

Restricting Street Sienboards.

Announcement is made by the National High
ways Protective Society that its highway patrol
has practically cleared the roads between this city
and Niagara Falls of signs posted along the high
ways in defiance of law. 1t has also cleared the
roads north of Albany far as Lake George, and
is turning its attention to other sections Of the
state In this commendable campaign for protecting
natures beauties from DETACHMENT by hideous bill
boards.
The rural resident and those fortunate enough TO
be able to make automobile tours outside this city
thus have great advantage over the residents OF
the metropolis. Unfortunately, there Is no highway
patrol here or other agency to censor the g'arlng
electric signs and lurid posters which shrek aloud
to high heaven. It is not too much to hope that
some day there will be law fully regulating the
size and manner Of display of outdoor advertising
here as there is in most European cities But 1t
approaches very slowly and the city dweler Is not
to be blamed for envying the upstater at times

The Registration Figures Look Good.

The opponents of Tammany have good reason to
feel satisfied with the registration figures. The
total for this year Is 26O31 greater than the total
for the last Mayoralty election Since the total In
Manhattan the stronghold Of Tammany, fell on
Il. $780, the gain made by the other boroughs over
1909 was $780,
Brooklyn has always been anti-Tammany. The
Bronx has become so In recent years, and Queens,
though strongly Democratic is very Independent In
local fights Richmonds vote is so small that 1t
may be left out of consideration.
The continued decline Of Tammany strength In
downtown Manhattan is also ominous since In the
districts below 23d street straight Tammany voters
are most numerous and conspicuous. Compared
with 1909 these downtown districts show losses In
registration as follows First, 11s5; Second, 16l;
Third 500; Fourth 234 Fifth, LAS; Seventh 1,16l;
Ninth, 1,1s4; Tenth 1888, and Eleventh 81. The
Fourth ganed-234 and the Eighth district largely
of alien population, 2O7. The Sixth the only Re-
publican district in this part of Manhattan, gained
202
pretty full vote will be cast for Mayor-only
about $4,000 less than that cast for President last
year. There is every indication that the voters are
alive to the opportunity offered to chastise
Tammany and cut off the profits of the "smug and
sleek" who have been accommodating fortunes at the
city's expense.

Partial Reason About Panama Tolls.

that the act will never be consummated.

clause We must wish, too, that the purposed sus-

The demand for repeal Of discrimination and Tor

The following rules adopted by the
United States War Department may prove
OF some service to those who desire to

place where persons belonging to the mill

capacity or present unofficially but In uni
form, all officers and enlisted men present
will stand at attention. facing toward the
music. retaining that position until the
last note OF the air and then salute. With
no arms in hand. the salute will be the
hand salute. When played under the cir
cumstances contemplated by this para
graph The Star Spangled Banner will be
played through without repetition of any
part that Ia not required to be repeated
to make the air complete.
AT every military post or station the
flag will be hoisted at the sounding Of the

MIR. Bryan's Sixth Sense.

"The sense Of propriety may be called the sixth

liking for the tent the cheering throng and those
delightful Tyrolean yodelers. Only arstocrats,
toadies and sycophants Eyes, they "fawned' in Mr..
Bryan's utterance) could possibly object TO his

Unfortunately, with all his alert senses, Mr. Bryan
misses the point Of the criticism. The prime obJec-
ton was not to his mingng with anybody but to his
cashing in as a side show while drawing a salary
from the United States Of America.
The criticism accuses Mr.. Bryan not so much Of
lacking a sense Of propriety as Of possessing an
overweening sixth sense for the nimbe dollar.

The Italian Elections.

The general elections which to be held in
Italy this month will be of great interest In several
respects They will he the first elections held since
the Turkish war. 1t will be remembered that the
unfortunate Abysslnian campaign Of years ago had
a marked effect upon the elections The world will
be curious to observe the popular verdict expressed
at the polls upon the triumphant campaign in
Libya.
1t will also be the first test Of the franchise
system under which practically universal suffrage
is enjoyed and the number Of potential electors is
considerably more than doubled In the last cleo
tons there were only 3247,722 voters. This year
there will be S635,14S II all those registered

that the Catholic abstention will be abandoned. At
the last election the Pope gave permission to Cath
olics TO vote in certain constituencies, where Cath
Ollie candidates were running against Socialists or
other openly anti Catholic candidates: but elsewhere
the prohibition against Catholics voting was main
tanned This year there seems to be no change In
the situation The prohibition has not been re-
moved. 1t is a question, however, whether 1t may
not be much more largely ignored than hitherto as
the civil government desires 1t to be and as the
best interests of the nation require it to be- II So
