Senator Bristow, republican, has in
troduced a red-hot resolution, urging
that Mr.. Bryan's salary as Secretary
of State, by far the most important
office in the cabinet, be increased to
such sum as he can live on and not
have to desert his post of duty and
chase around the country on lecture
tour to supplement his salary. Mr.
Bryan stated himself that he could not
live on his salary and was forced to go
out on lecture tour. This proves two
things, either of which is a disgrace to
the United States. First, that this
government does not pay it's employ
es a living wage; and second. that
conditions are such in Washington
that a man with a small family cannot
live respectfully on athousand dollars
month. There's something wrong
somewhere.

Queer Railroad Customs.

Ing some railways in Syria. Weary
OF much riding, party Of travellers on
their way to Beirut resolved one day
to go by train. They arrived ut
primitive station, but could find no
station master Presently, however,
one OF the camp followers arrived,
looked about and, spying a small red
flag lying on the platform, made OH
with 1t along the line. When train
came In the man waved his flag. the
engine driver pulled up, and the trav'
elers got In. Later, while the train
was putting on its way, the guard
came along the footboard and issued
the tickets, carefully noting down the
names, nationality and occupations OF
the passengers. Two stations farther
on they got out, and here there was
not only a staten master, but por-
ter, and the latter stayed with them
all day In an orchard till the camp
arrived, meanwhile feeding them with
honey from the comb. Where else
one wonders, could such charming
railway system be found2 - Wide

WHAT OF THE MEXICAN SlTUA-
TON?

The other foreign powers are polite
ly asking the United States what it
propose to do in regard to Mexico. All
the great powers have interests in
Mexico, the same as the United States,
but the United States being on the
ground they naturally look to us to
control the situation. Conditions in
Mexico are fearful and something will
have to be done and that soon.
Intervention by the United States
should be the last resort. The Eagle
believes that commission, composed
of diplomats from the various world
powers, should issue a manifesto to
Huerta, telling him exactly what had
to be done, and fix a time limit for
it's accomplishment. At the expiration
of the time If peace had not been re-
stored and stable form of govern.
ment established, then let the powers
take charge and dispose Of the Mexi.
Cdu olJudJlOu dS luell WlsuOu WOulu
suggest to be best for all concerned,
the best interests of Mexico and her
people taking precedence above all
others.
The conditions that now exist in
Mexico are blot on our goth century
civilization and should not be allowed
to continue.
Mexico has always been a hot-bed
Of revolution. Prior to 1876, the date
on which Gen. Porfrio Diaz assumed
the reins of government, the country
had no less than fifty-two dictators in
fifty-six years. 1t was just one chap
ter of blood after another.
Diaz went in through a long and
bloody revolution, and for thirty-foul
years, ruled with a rod of iron. In
1910 he met his downfall through rev
olution, and Francisco Madero be
came president. Fighting in Mexico
never stopped for a moment, and the
downfall of Madero and his ignomin
ious death a few months ago are ia
miliar to all, and all are agreed tha
more disgraceful chapter was nevel
written in the history of a nation.
Since Madero's death and Huerti

have gone from bad to worse, and nov
the world powers are asking what il

Something must be done, something
will be done and that in the nea
