Ready for Emergencies.

Active preparations for the possible dis
patch of troops into Mexico for the relief
Of beleaguered foreigners there are re-
ported as under way, in wise anticipation
of necessity which all hope will not
arise but for which it is required to be
in readiness. Warships are to be sta
toned on the coast, and transports are
TO be provisioned and made ready for i'm
mediate loading and swift dispatch. Regi-
ments are to be assembled as close as
possible to the borders for quick move
ment, IL the time comes for the start
southwark.
All this is strictly in line with the policy
steadfastly pursued heretofore, that of
preparedness for possible Intervention for
the sake of American lives. In a way the
problem is no different from that pre-
scented two years ago. when the elder
Diaz was fighting for his official and even
his physical life against the opponent who
eventually overthrow him and established
himself in the chief office Now two men
are graphing again for the supreme
power in Mexico, with no issue other than
that of personal ambition. A state Dor
dering upon anarchy prevails in Mexico
and the guarantees of government are
about the condition that demands inter-
vention, and for that the United States
must be and is ready.
Over twelve years ago a situation pre-
sented itself in China similar in certain
sense to that which exists in Mexico to-
day. The established government was i'm
potent in the face of a revolt of fanatics,
and the lives of foreigners in the capital
II
the very legations were under siege. with
hundreds of men, women and children
gathered behind barricades. and defended
by an improvised force of both civilians
and soldiers. The powers agreed upon
program of rescue and organized an in
ternational column of troops to advance
from Taku, on the coast, to the capital.
The distance was about eighty miles by
air line and approximately 100 miles by
road. over level country, with no nat
ural difficulties in the way and with only
a nominal resistance. The march was
made in quick time and the legations
were relieved before serious losses had
occurred.
1t will be much more difficult task to
send relief column to Mexico City in
case of necessity. The distance is more
than twice as great by air line, the road
traversing fully 80 miles and passing
over lofty mountains. In comparison the
way from Vera Cruz to Mexico City is
fully five times as difficult as that from
Taku to Picking. Furthermore, the prog
ress of relieving column would undoubt-
eddy be stubbornly resisted by Mexican
troops OF one faction or another. possibly
by a combination of all factions united
under the cry of resistance to the in
vaders." 1t might require a month OF
careful maneuvering and hard fighting to
send a force from the coast to the capital
in case the situation in Mexico City calls
for Intervention.

All Prizes This Time.

Ordinarily, interest in the formation Of
a new cabinet centers on one or two
places This time speculation plays
around every seat at the table Every
one of them is regarded as important. We
are doing business on large scale
that every department has its hands full,
and calls for highly capable direction.
Take the State Department. Mr.. Will
son Will inherit several difficult diplo-
matte problems, and these may lead to
others as time passes. The man who
succeeds Mr.. Knox may play a great
role. or at least have the chance to do so.
\ new tariff law and a new currency
law will fall to the lot of Secretary Mac
Neagh's successor. He should be We'll
qualified to pass upon both questions: and
such men do not grow on trees.
The Department of Justice is now crap
ping with certain trusts, and those suits
will pass to the successor of Mr.. Wick
ersham. And if the new administration
embarks upon a trust course of its own.
all the more industrious will the new At
torney General have to be Executing the
old law strengthened by amendments
will tax his powers.
So important are the problems now of
the Interior Department that more names
have been presented to Mr.. Wilson In
connection with that portfolio than with
any other. The west, as always, is much
interested. and wants the place. She
offers Mr.. Wilson an excellent list to
choose from.
And so much is now being done by the
government to encourage farm life and
production. the Secretaryship of Agricul-
ture-at one time considered of small
consequence-is at present much in evil
dence- Nor is it being sought exclusively
by fancy farmers. Men of influence in
the political world have their eyes on it,
The Department of Commerce and La
Dor has abundantly justified itself. and as
labor is great and growing force in
our affairs, that department holds out a
lure TO ambitious men. Mr.. Wilson has
the pick of a number for that portfolio
snail the navy be an adequate" one
will engage Mr.. Wilson's attention: and
significance will attach to the sort of man
he appoints to that place. Likewise will
the Secretary of War have a fine chance
to show his quality.
This brings us to the Post Office De-
partment, which has in the past four
years taken on important new business.
and been well managed by Mr. Hitch
cock His successor will have much to
report at cabinet meetings
Mr.. Wilson has listened to many sug-
geStions on this subject. but not too
many. If the country is favorably i'm
pressed with the cabinet names when
they are announced. something good will
come to him right away

Wilson, and then four years Of the man
who had made Wilson.
This is considered persuasive by reason
of the fact that Mr.. Bryan presided over
the platform committee. Part Of the
platform he wrote himself. Whether he
wrote the single-term plank-it has been
claimed for Gov. Beckham of Kentucky
does not so much matter. As chairman
Of the committee he passed upon all that
was done by 1t and reported to the con-
venaon. He believes in the proposition
Mr.. Wilson has as yet made no sign
Repeated efforts have been made to
draw him, but without effect. He said
nothing to the point in accepting the
Baltimore nomination. and the most
adroit interviewing since has failed to
break his silence. There is just chance
that he may refer to the matter in his
inaugural address. but no lively expecta-
ton that he will.
But If the new Congress takes the
matter up and Endorses the proposition
either in the form Of single term of
four years or six-Mr. Wilson VIII have
to take a stand for or against If for,
the next democratic nomination Will be
thrown into the ring to be fought for by
all corners; If against, notice will be
served that Mr.. Wilson desires to sue
coed himself, and must be reckoned with
by all other aspirants.
The special session will have business
of a more pressing character on hand,
and this business may go over to the
regular session. That will be soon enough.
But when 1t is taken up, 1t should af-
ford a debate of high order of interest.
a denomination for a President has al
most been the rule with us. and second
terms as a rule have been successful.
But if change is now desirable, every
reason for 1t should be well advanced
and supported.

Abraham Lincoln.
From the Philadelphia Press.

I TItsSt
Lowell somewhere remarks that ii Is
the highest art of a republic to produce
men of flesh and blood. OF Abraham
Lincoln il was said that he was II man
matchless among forty millions in his
fitness for the place he held and the
task he had to perform. Today, when
those survivors of the national crisis
have reached the reminiscent stage. and
the memoirs marked by the heat of con-
flict can be calmly reviewed, it is be-
yond controversy that the career of
him we celebrate has become a guide
for all civilized nations. His personality
glows as mark of "inextinSuishable
light unto his fellow -countrymen of all
ranks and ages.

Usurers Losing Ground.

From the ST. Joseph Gazette.
There is a living hope that the cru
SADIE against usury in the shape of the
loan shark" Will assume proportions and
character very soon that will compel the
issue in every state in the Immediate or
the early future. The sooner the bet
ter. The fruitage of the usurers industry
is exactly what 1t was when Christ over
turned the tables of the money changers
in the temple. 1t has never been any
thing else-always and forever the usurer
has paralyzed faith, destroyed hope and
Knocked charity. He knocks out the WIN
dows of the soul and defiles the portals
of the ways of the Lord.
