The Presidents Mexican Policy.

1t is pleasing TO note that the New
Orleans States is in full accord with
the Caucasian's view Of the policy
being pursued by President Wilson
towards peaceable adjustment OF
the Mexican problem. Unlike the
Picayune and others of the met
ropolitan press, it has not INDUCED
in an unnecessary discredit of Pres
ident WILSON, cdelegating Governor
Lind as his personal representative
as an adviser to the acting Ameri-
can ambassador in the City of Mex
leo. The States says:
"president Wilson'S absolute re-
fusal to get flustered over Mexico
will appeal to the good sense of the
country. Neither the scare head
lines in the yellow press nor the ex-
cited gabble of Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson have plunged the
President into any precipitate ac-
ton. The policy adopted by the ad-
ministration is the one least likely
to involve US in needless trouble.
"That policy is. simply this: The
United States is not meddling or in
terfering in the affairs of Mexico
and we shall neither make trouble
nor seek trouble. On the other
hand, the United States will demand
every protection for Americans
there as elsewhere, and will not be
slow to express these demands. Be-
yond this the United States will do
no debating until such a time as it
becomes clear that Mexico can not
properly protect all people within
her borders.
"The jingoes will get no comfort
from the Presidents attitude, and at
the same time the peace-at-any-
price party can not find much SYM
pathy with their position. The Pres
ident makes it clear that our posi-
ton must be one governed by con-
ditions." ~
And The President is right, and
the Presidents course is being ap-
proved by the people if not by the
iingOes.

Shreveport Recognized.

AS anticipated, Shreveport has
been duly recognized by Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo. It was
only necessary to demonstrate the
Importance of Shreveport as an
agricultural center, which had been
overlooked. In their mission to
Washington in the interest of
shreveport Lieutenant Governor
T. C. Barret and State Senator Leon
R. Smith did we'll their part and are
entitled to the fullest credit. This
city will receive it's share of the
$5O,0O0,000 assigned by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo to assist in
the movement Of crops. Congress-
man Watkins also contributed his
efforts to the recognition of Shreve-
port.

The Limit Is Nearly Reached.

West Carroll Gazette: One Of our
exchanges wants TO know what IS
The limit in women dress. Judging
from the exceedingly scant attire on
some women who belong to the tasF
and fashionable set the limit must
he nearly reached. Why is it that
some women seek to be as immod-
est as they possibly can is a mys-
terry to every sensible person. II
they could but realize the disgust
and contempt they evoke among
sclf-respecting people, ii might lead
them to he consciousness that
modesty is a virtue and cfl3rm
still held in highest regard among
most people and especially among
people who are worth knowing?
The loud young woman with m:tN-
imum OF assurance anI 4 minimum
of clothing simply breeds disgnsi.
even among people who may for
various reasons OutWardly applaud
what they inWardly condemn.

ARE PARALLEL GASES.
No Reason for Observation-Disclosures
Give Sympathy to Reihl?

The editorial reproduced is from
the Louisiana Democrat published
at Alexandria. 1t is PLAIN state
ment of a plain fact which shoulC
be considered as presented. Rein
was deliberate in dehauclllng hE
victim. If there should be eA-
pressed any sympathy, it should bt
for the woman whose character has
been blasted by Refill. The hope l:
entertained that the Era and othei
women's clubs will stand by then
record of the past:
''Ihe Era and other clubs Of
women in New Orleans espoused the
cause, with moral and matcrIa
support, Of Mamie Mclaughlin an.
Katie Fresch, two young girls who
avenged if they did not vlndlcatt
their honor by shooting to dcatI
their seducers. Because OF the as
sistance of these clubs and tbs
pressure of public sentiment II
their favor, these girls were exon
Grated from all legal responsibility
for the killing of their paramours
"Now, Augusta Edwards. another
soiled dove, impelled no doubt by
the force of example Of the Other
two girls mentioned, has avenged
her dishonor by killing George w
Reihl, the dastardly fiend who Sc
duced her from the path Of rcctl-
tude. It is reported that the Era
Club, which rushed to the rescue oi
the other two girls, has refused tc
contribute to the defense of this
girl. We see no place, cause or rea-
son for any such discrimination
against this girl. If the two girls
who were absolved from the penal
ties of the law, deserved and mer~
tied assistance, we see no reason
why the full measure of ii should
not be extended to Augusta Ed
wards.
'They are parallel cases, save and
excepting in the fact that the two
men killed by Mamie Mclaughlin
and Katie Fretsch were5unmarried
while the one killed by Augusta Ed
wards had a wife and several chill
dren, which makes his crime ter
times more heinous.
''He was not only untrue to the
wife who trusted and contided in
him, but at the same time imposed
on the credulity Of an innocent girl
who probably was unaware at the
inception of her illicit relations
with him that he was a married
man. OF course, after the discovery
of such fact, she knew that he could
not contract marriage with her eX-
cept through the legal dissolution
Of the marital tie with his wife, and
she should have discontinued her
amours with him at once. But she
had been ruined, her life had been
blasted and she had been cast adrift
as a piece of fl0tsam upon the great
ocean of humanity Withth thought
only Of vengeance against her be-
trayer.
"While we sympathize With his
family in the loss Of a bread Win
ner, for that is all he was. Reihl
deserved the fate which this out
ragged girl meted out to him with
the hand of an avengihg Nemesis. y

Future of the Income Tax

The impression among lawyers in this
city is that the estimated revenue which
the government will receive from the i'm
position of the present income tax is not
far out of the way. Furthermore, the law
years believe that the income tax has
come to stay. 1t will not be utilized Tor
the purpose of meeting emergencies, al
though that purpose was distinctly ad-
mitted to be the only one at the time
the income tax amendment to the const-
tuition was under discussion. When Mr..
Justice Hughes was governor or New
York he published carefully prepared
opinion in opposition to the adoption OF
the resolution of amending the constitu-
ton so that an income tax could be levied
in any way that the government saw fit.
Governor Hughes took issue with those
who asserted that 1t was advisable SO
to amend the constitution as to permit the
government to levy an income tax In any
way it chose, because there might arise
some sudden emergency which would
make an imposition of a tax of this KIND
highly expedient. Governor Hughes saw
clearly that the first Congress which as
sembled after the proposed constitutional
amendment was adopted would formulate
an income tax proposition into law. And
those who read between the lines of Gov
ernor Hughes argument We're satished
that he also feared that some time in the
future the rate of taxation laid down in
the first income tax law would be greatly
increased by the action of some later
Congress.
