CORN DowN EAST.

The popular idea Of New Hamp-
shire is that il is rough. sterile,
rocky region. where they have to
grind Sleeps noses 10 enable them
to get a living between the stones.
but IL Is a fact. as shown b. the re-
port Of the department OF agricul-
ture. that this year New Hampshire
leads all states in the number of
bushels OF corn per acre. This year
New Hampshire yielded 81 bushels as
against % for the country as q whole.
The country also suffered largely from
drought but last year New Hampshire
yielded - bushels 10 the acre. as
against 29.2 for the United States.
This the Burlington News remarks is
a fine testimonial 20 the value Of New
Hampshire As an agricultural state.
An immense quantity OF corn is grown
for silos
This Is grown on thousands of acres
and furnishes the main supply for the
production OF milk for the New Eng
land cities.
People who sheer at the little state

I luton The Standard people, feellnS
that Diaz had favored the British over
the American oil interests. were in
clined to be friendly to Madero. When
Madero won it put the American in
terests in the ascendency. Witnesses
before the senate committee tried to
show that Madero intended to vote the
vast oil regions to the Waters-Pierce
company, which has since severed its
connection with the Standard.
Madero was not successful in this.
but he did actually menace the British
holdings by proposing to take away
from all concessionaries lands having
clouded titles. That sealed his fate.
There seems to be no question that
Cowdray gave at least moral backing
to the Huerta-Felix Diaz treachery
against MadeTo. But the land was
played too far. The conspirators in
murderous frenzy assassinated Madero
and the whole world recolled with hor-
ror. The killing of Madoro precluded
recognition by the United States. But
so strong was the Pearson influence in
British politics that Great Britain
promptly recognized Huerta's govern
ment.
Recently the British oil magnates be-
gan TO grow uneasy about the con-
tinued refusal of President Wilson to
recognize Huerta. They found the way
to put pressure on the United States.
Lord Cowdray convinced Winston
Churchill, head of the admiralty, that
Britain should go in for oil burning
bsttleship. Where to get the oil? Why.
in the Pearson concessions in Mexico;
forever independent of the United
States and the Standard Oil company.
Cowdray got the Ill contract and Eng
land sent to Mexico a new ambassador
friendly to Mexico.
Therefore. poems who never owned
a foot of land of their own, are killing
each other in Mexico to determine
whether Lord Cowdray or the Waters !
Pierce Oil company shall dominate the
Mexican oil fields And there are
Americans urging that American boys
shall be sent in to kill the poems and
be killed themselves, for the benefit
of a few millionaires. The insane folly
of war was never more clearly shown
than in this Mexican affair.

An alarm Of FIRE was sounded
in the truck headquarters from
South Union avenue and West

was sounded. The company re-
sponded TO the call. leaving Texie

fremen arrived at West Forty

startled 20 see Texie salloping up
Union avenue. The horse stopped

'Texie simply refused 20 rest"

CARELEssNESS WORSE THAN WAR.
-Four regular army soldiers and a
civilian chauffeur were killed recently
in a battle between an automobile and
a passenger train in Texas.
II IS a sad thing 10 contemplate.
Just a little care and caution would
have avoided this slaughter and have
saved these lives. but there was indif-
ference TO danger. With careless dis
regard or the sure disaster that would
follow a collision OF a train and an
automobile. the party proceeded to
cross the railroad tracks at a grade
crossing without hesitating a moment
to see II a train was coming.
II is the same old story. Every day
brings its chronicle OF these living
sacrifices TO carelessness.
The annual slaughter due to care
lessness is actually horrible
What Sherman said OF war applies
no less forciOly to careless automo-
billing
That these daily lessons written IN
the red blood Of the victims OF care
do not make persons careful
before they cross death-dealiTS grade
crossings Is astonishing.
Carelessness Is worse than war.

Much of the history OF this oil dis
pute was told by Witnesses before the
senate committee which investigated
the troubles at the Mexican border.
But as the situation grows more acute
foT this country additional information
has been brought out, until now the
entire history of the Mexican oil strug-
gle is pretty well known in Washing
ton.
II dates back TO the regime of Por-
firio Diaz. the dictator who believed
in the development of his country by
the process Of giving away the re-
sources of the Mexican people to rich
exploiters from other countries. At
that time the Standard Oil company,
through the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany (then a Standard subsidiary,
and the British oil interests were en-.
gagged in a desperate contest for the
oil concessions of Mexico. probably
the greatest store of petroleum in the
world. The Waters-Pierce people
were given an oil grant DiaZ also
gave a vast oil concession to Sir Weet-
man Pearson, now Lord Cowdray, of
England.
Madero, a visionary, began his revo.

II has been represented 70 The Ar

city has been ridden OF three Of the
most notorious dives, in the Lincoln
club. the Buffalo and the Billy Rice
place, and that solemn promises have
been made by the owners Of saloons
Of hitherto questionable repute that
they will abide strictly TO the letter OF
the law hencefOrth. that the commits
sion be given a fair chance TO com
pletely restore moral conditions and
that for the time being the agitation

Il has been pointed out by those
who have put the situation up in this
Highland those who have so inter
ested themselves are in no way con
nected with or interested in the liquor
traffic in any forz.-that for so much
OF a cleaning has been made there Is
good cause for rejoicing. and that If
future events demonstrate that the
city IS not in earnest. and is insin-
cere. IL will be time 20 reopen the dis
cussion.
II has been suggested further that
in view Of the fact that the entire com
mission has undertaken the responsi-
bIlity for the kind OF saloons that are
licensed IL is but fair 10 the commits
sion as a whole 10 give IL chance 10
prove that IL IS capable Of graphing
