MINORITY ENDORSEMENT.

In the elections of Tuesday no small amount of attention was directed to the expression of the voters as bearing upon the national administration, as to whether there Is general approval or disapproyal of the new president after eight months of service From the bare results without a scrutiny of the figures and the total amount of op- position to the successful candidates there can be gained a certain amount of satisfaction by the democrats. In New Jersey and Massachusetts every thing appears democratic, a fact which coming after the conduct of the cam pafgnS upon more or less of a national basis, creates more or less rejoicing
 An analysis of the situation how ever indicates that while the democrats won out by good sized pluralities, the opposition, all practically of the same character though divided greatly exz ceeded the support which the success full candidates received. In New Jer- sey had the opposition to the demo- cratic candidates been united it would have meant the defeat of the admin istrati0n candidates by as large a fig ure aS they have won. The same is true of Massachusetts where the democratic plurality is s5.000. Had the opposition the republicans and the progressfves voted together they would have beat Walsh by s2.o90, while it would have been even greater for the remainder of the ticket. There may be some sat is1aotE0G from such endorsement but it is plainly the inference of the minor ity, or a repetition of the last national election

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

There is reason that the state should be shocked over the fact that a woman should be guilty of a crime which calls for capital punishment The in stances where women are charged with A capital offense only to be found gull ty of a lesser crime are frequent in comparison with those where the jury brings in a verdict which calls for the death penalty. It is the unusual procedure which is being followed with Mrs. Wakefield, who with her paramour Is under sentence to be hanged. and for whom not little ef- fort is being made for communication cause Of her guIlflessness, but because of sex and not a little opposition in general to capital punishment. It means of course an attempt to keep the law from taking it's course. in spite of the fact that 1t was created for the very purpose of checking just such foul crimes.
 No one wants to see life taken, whether ft be that of a woman or man, but if law is to be respected it cannot be made to operate against one and not another. It should be rec ogniZed in advance that if crime is to be committed the perpetrator must be prepared to pay the penalty If the law of capital punishment is going to be made to operate differently be- cause of sex, 1t is time it should be changed. If Mrs. Wakefield was cap able of participating in or directing the murder of her husband, she should pay the price as fixed by law.

ELEcTIoN RIoTs.

It is a disgracefui position which the cities of Gary Terre Haute and In dianapolis occupy before the country as the result of riots and bloodshed during election day. Such disturbances only point out the existence of danger ous conditions when bold attempts are made to obtain elections illegally even to the point of turning against the forces which are organized for the maintenance of law and order. Where the political conniyance undermines the police organization 1t Is plainly time that the public should take a hand and see that the forces of evil which are at work are eliminated.
 Whether those cities realize 1t or not they have evidently reached the point where the stamping out of cor ruption is demanded. If it Is 8 ring by which they are controlled the treat ment which has been given the Tam many tiger In New York offers them the solution of their trouble The de- mand for good and safe government has been sounded and action should be speedy in applying the remedy.
 The cities whose ballot boxes are controlled by organizations through the exercise of threats or force are remiss in their duty and fail to have proper conception of good citizenship if they permit it to go uncorrected. Whether this marks the end of such disturbances, or whether they will continue to mar the freedom of suf- frage all depends upon the public sen timent which exists therein. Legiti- mate rivalry Is bound to exist on cleo ton day but no city can afford to give it's sanction to bloodshed and riot, and such it does unless it takes action against it

THE SUBSIDY REBATE

If the secretary of the treasury is to be guided by the advice of the at torney general little progress can be expected in the carrying out of the nve per cent. subsidy clause of the tariff bill which was passed for the purpose of encouraging American ship ping, but which received insuffi icient at tention from congress to make it of any value. From the protests which have been received any attempt to put it into force is bound to involve the country in international compli- cations because of existing treaty re- lations. By the fact that it is pro vided that the subsidy shall not be granted when 1t interferes with exist ing treaties, it is the opinion of the attorney general that one clause serves to nullify the other. Even though strong argum ents have been advanced for the repeal of tfe provision the fail- ure to put 1t in operation fs bound to serve the same purpose, though it does not do away with the existence of the clause for future interpretation and trouble.
 It was at the urgent solicitation of the Eubsidyists of which Congressman Underwood is an enthusiastic member in behalf of building up a merchant marine that attention was given to this provision. AS 1t exists if put into operation an additional reduction on all imports of five per cent. will not enly be demanded by those using

MUCH RESTS WITH HuERTA.

Whether it was an ultimatum. or just a plain warning, which was issued by this government to Provisional President Huerta, the fact remains that he has a problem of great importance before him. if he stops to give thought to the welfare of the people of that republic instead of being actuated by any possible humiliation which might follow his resignation. The conditions in the country have been steadily growing worse. He possesses control of much less territory than when he took up the reins and he is without the financial means of putting a stop to the revolution Matters have gone from bad to worse and he is endeavor- ing against overwhelming odds to ac- complish the impossible as dictator and gain the approval of foreign nations. as against the disapproyal which this country has consistently manifested towards his presidency.
 The solution of the Mexican question rests to a large degree with him. De- tiance of this government not only threatens increased trouble through the upholding of our policy which it is indicated will come from the European countries, but through the possibility which exists of the recognition of the constitutionalists.
 The note to Huerta is but demand for the carrying out of the promise to resign and an insistence that in do- ing such he must also eliminate him. self from any vantage point behind the president. It is apparently 8 step in the formation of a fixed policy by this country which is yet to be revealed and which cannot be characterized by too great haste.

FROM LUCILE'S DIARY

Daddy I said one morning a few days ago. 'do you realize how little I have been out of town since the be- ginning of summer? I've scarcely had any vacation at all.''
 "Vacationl' burst out father Why, I thought you had nothing but yaca- ton
 "oh, daddy!" I said. tremulously.
 Well, little girl" he remarked. as he patted my hand, If you wish to take an outing I think we can manage it somehow"
 I'd like to pass week or so at Pine Lodge. where Ruth Ritchey and her mother are" l told him.
 Could you do 1t on $40, Lucille :? That's about as much as I can con veniently devote to your rest cure.''
 Although I was hurt because he persisted in acting as if my desire for a holiday was a joke. accepted the money and informed Ruth at once that l would join her. When I asked her over the distance phone if she could get @ room for me at the lodge. she laughed
 There's practically no one here" said Ruth. You can get almost any room you wish, so late in the season. It's delightfully."- peaceful and quiet here"
 It occurred to me that it would be decidedly silly to pay $14 a week for peace and quiet when l could have them for nothing out at Uncle Johns. It also flashed upon me that by not going to Pine Lodge I could save enough to buy the bird of paradise that NFme. Henriette, my pet mi1liner said she would let me have for $35.
 Mother was surprised when I told her that I had decided to visit Uncle John and Aunt Anna instead of going to Pine Lodge.
 Don't you think you should find out from them if it would be con venient for you to come?" she asked.
 You know. mother,'' I replied. that Aunt Anna loves to have any member of our family go out there whenever we can, so don't see why I should waste money telephoning. It's the little thoughtless expenses that count up so tremendoously."
 Mother appeared impressed, but she advised me to send note announcing my coming.
 But I wish to go to-day. mother" I said, flor as it's Saturday, David Robinson can take me down to the station in his car"
 When David called for me early in the afternoon I was surprised to See Louise Erwin and George Requier in the car
 We thought we'd give you good sendoff," ;" said David.
 How jolly!" I cried. T wish you were going all the way
 why don't you invite us?" David asked, as he lifted my suitcase into the machine.
 T will and I do. We can drive out in four hours. easily
 Are you game ?" David turned to Louise and George.
 Won't we be pretty late getting homer" asked Louise.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Work.

Work is grand thing; 1t is better to have too much of it than not enough; it is far better to be over busy than insufficientIy occupied. That is gospel which we can all ap- prove. We do not need to read our Carlyle to learn the value of doing. But even doing is not the whole of life; there must be resting, preparing thinking, checking our balances talk ing stock of ourselves or at times simply the pleasant lassitude of re- Cuperation.
 Sometimes 1t seems that we are like the poor, oyerworked horse of whom 1t was said that he could keep upright only as long as he kept go- ing; if he stopped he fell. We are afraid of stopping lest we should fall. Some men actually do fail as soon in harness that kept them up; when 1t is removed they drop. We see this sometimes with those who retire sud- denly from active business It is their finish. They cannot rest; to stop work is to die. And we hear the hackneyed old proverb: Tt is bet ter to wear out than to rust out" Certainly; of two evils it Is well to choose the lesser. But. why choose either
 Is it inevitable that we must wear out, at least, prematurely? Can we not ease the stages, learn to slacken when slackening is advisable, learn at times to take things easily? Shall we not work all the more efficiently when We have also mastered the art of resting7
 There Is no reason in the world why we should think reGt synonymous with rust. There is no reason why we should conclude that leisure is laziness. Matthew Arnold used to speak of the necessity for possessing our souls" This Is just what the modern man and the modern woman appear to have forgotten how to do They have no time to know or foster and feed their own souls,

| Why you can stay all night at the ] farm with me. Louise" I said. We can phone your mother" Then it's go?" asked David. I George said laughingly, Why discuss ] the matter further ?''
 Away we went, stopping downtown | only long enough to telephone Mrs. Erwin and to permit George to buy some of the special marronS glaeeS l that he knows l like more than other sweets. We had charming drive and arrived at the farm just a little after supper time.
 I had meant to ask Aunt Anna to make some of her famous hot biscuits, which are so good with honey or jam, but she was not at home, nor was any one else. We got into the house through 8 window, and, finding very !, little cooked food. we decided to have 8 camp supper.
 That supper was really delicious. We sat around the fire until a sudden storm drove us indoors and we had just lighted the parlor lamp when Uncle John, Aunt Anna, the children and the hired man returned in their automobile. They were astonished to see us and when I said I thought auntie would have to invite George and David to stay all night because of rain, she looked 8 little perplexed.
 You see" she explained, I've are remodeling the second story and the bedrooms are all torn up. You girls can go with the children, and I'll fix a shal1edown in the parlor for the gentlemen"
 The next morning David and George were asking Uncle John about his crops, and he said he would show them some choice apples S.y---7 trees he had budded himself When he started down cellar called laughing ly that if he was going after the ap- pies wrapped in paper, it was useless. for we had roasted and eaten them
 Well, if that doesn't beat all!' he explained. T was saving them to ex- hibit at the county fair" He looked as ed: 'I suppose I'll still have my Golden Bantam corn to show"
 At the mention of Golden Bantam fairly trembled, for we had roasted every ear of it that we could find. 1 thought best to keep silent about it since he was already a little ruffled. I merely told David that I thought it was time to start home.
 T don't blame you for returning with us," remarked George. as we got under way. Your uncle may be a genial soul, but I shouldn't care to stay with him indefinitely" Then we all laughed.
 I explained my sudden return to mother by telling her that because of the remodeling of the house I was afraid I should be in the way. Father told me to credit him on my allow ance with the $40 he gave me for a vacation, and he was unreasonably vexed when he learned that I had al- ready spent the money for 8 paradise bird for my winter hat.-Chfcago News.
