Not Entirely Relevant

One question before the committee the Iegis- lature Investigating the charges of the city of Flor that they sufferers from great latitude allowed the convcts of the penitentiary by the prison authorities, seemed be, Are the citizens of Florence persons with whom the convcts may associate with safety the morals and demeanor the latter?"
 We think that inquiry regarding the conduct of the prisoners on the streets and in the places of amusement and comparison of their conduct with that of the citizens is quite relevant. No com plaint was made in the petition presented the legislature of unseemly conduct the part the convicts. The complaint only to their pres Inquiries, also, the effect their pres ence carries the inquisors into vague field. If any harm has been done it would necessarily be in tangible and not susceptible of definite description.
 For instance. it would be difficult to measure the effect upon the morale of the town the mingng of it's citizens with the convcts One could well tell to what extent the familiarity of the youth of the place with the prisoners, would obltcrate stigma that goes with penitentiary sentence and constitutes part of its deterrent effect Nor could there be accurate weighing of the we'll grounded or exaggerated fears of nervous woman in the vicinity of alleged, unguarded convcts
 The thing to be considered is, Were the con vcts there described and the facts as notorious they represented to be?
 The committee is to be congratulated on the exhibition far of a lack of the bitterness which seemed inevitable when the subject of the investt- gation under consideration the legislature which promptly divided according to the attitude the members toward the administration. This divi- sion still exists though both sides seem be trying to get at the bottom the matter

Government by Assassination

The hope that Mexico had entered upon and better with the fall of the Madero govern was dashed the earth Sunday by the bloody the capital, the murder of Madero and Suarez according to the old barbarous method, the operation of fugitive" law which for many years had been ghastly joke in Mexico
 Nobody will believe that the assassination of the former president and vice-presdent Saturday night planned before the victims were started their ride the penitentiary. The official explanation the foreign minister is couched in language in which he appears to dis claim responsibility for it. It does entirely conceal his horror the deed. With much secrecy would the midnight transfer have been planned, that a rescue such as has been described could have been attempted.
 The wife of Madero had a premon- tion of the assassination when she visited Huerta Saturday and begged for the life of her husband. otherwise she would have appealed to the pro- visonaI president to any authority for clemency previous to the congressional investigation of the charges which had been brought against the former president and vice-presdent
 If as a result of such an investigation what the character it might have been however unfair it might have been the accused had been formally executed, the act would have been less barbarous It might have been regarded as having been inspired by political necessity view of the conditions existing in that unhappy republic.
 The planned murder of Madero is different thing. The stigma of assassination attaches not alone Huerta but to his government as we'll which civilized governments will it difficult if impossible recognize.
 With men who plan countenance such crimes the head of the government there be little hope that there will be early restoration Of peace and order This deed, too, must alenate the support of many influential men who acquiesced in the rising against Madero, men who would of necessity be the brains and virtue of any constructive government that should be organ ized in Mexico. It must also horrfy and infuriate all opposing factions
 The blood of Madero and Suarez will be a cement for holding together the broken pieces the republic
 Though this is the darkest hour in the recent history of Mexico, and the darker that the light a hope has been suddenly quenched We trust that there may be early the affairs of southern neighbor and that without another revolution, the people weary of clamOr and boodshed will insist upon restoration of peace.

The Pork Barrel Auain

Congress, least, the house of representatives, seems to have forgotten that the people awake. It is going in the old way ,raidng the pork barrel, only it is going in deeper and reck- lessly than
 The pork barrel has always been evil smelling, of the disgraces national legislation The worst feature of it has been the criminal waste of the public funds. It has been the system of log rolling which is nothing less than a conspiracy among the members to bribe another to raid the treasury
 In sticking to this reprehensibe method the friends claim that very large majority of their members progressive, distinct from the old bourbon reactionary members.
 If the evil of the log-rolling system were fined to the making up of omnibus public building bills and rivers and harbor bills, would have nothing to complain than the the public money and the bad principle of the system. But it has always extended tariff legislation which closely affects the people than the mere of the money in erecting useless public buildings and the pretended rendering creeks and trout streams navigable
 There already signs that the next congress will go about the revision of the tariff by the old methods and that will amount to revision at

Why An Editor Bars Poetry

 The log cabin itself is all but extinct type architecture. and the social life it expressed survives only here and there in the Southern noun tains.
