THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

The government of the United States and the governments of other countries having vital interest in the affairs of Mexico have adopted a waiting attitude" toward the dicta- tor. That the situation is critical nobody denies. Representatives of all the nations have informed Gen. Huerta that they expect him to guard their homes and offices and the prop erty of all foreign residents. But thus far there ahs been no change in the situation to cause great alarm. The freely predicted revolt of the army against ~Huerta has not taken place. The deputies who dared to express their own views or those of their constituents are still imprisoned, but there is no proof that any of them has been killed or ill-treated. Our unofficial envoy, MT. Lind, seems to be doing nothing at Vera Cruz, and our Charge at the capital seems to be unable to do more Washington awaits a reply from the dictator to Presi- dent Wilson's expression of his dis approval of his recent acts without really expecting to receive one.
 Irresponsible bands of bandits ov- errun many of the states, but if the Constitutionalists under Carranza have accomplished anything for the good of Mexico, the news has been withheld. The constitution is dead letter, as it has been many times since it's adoption in 1924, and there is no national legislature to canvass a vote if any vote should be cast, SO that the seemingly grave asser- tion that another election will be held within a fortnight deceives no body. The complications are so ex- traordinary that there must be a change before long, and if the change does not put the Zapatistas, or some ether party which exists only for pillage, in the ascendency, the law abiding element may consider itself lucky.
 But no man can tell what is go- ing to happen in Mexico, except that the policy of Huerta cannot endure. There must be forces in Mexico ca pablo of restoring order, they may be even now at work vigorously. That they may be able to right their own wrongs, establish sound and legal government. and disarm the traitors who have brought their fair country to the verge of ruin is the prayer of all their friends in other lands

STRIKE x SETTLED |.
 BY REPUTATION Striking Street Car Employees Win Their Contentious Except for
 Recognition of Union.

Indianapolis, Nov. Ex-Governor Ralston has been instrumental in eff fecting settlement of the street car strike which has interrupted traffic in this city for more than a week. The governor forced the officials of the company to submit their case to arbitration, which has resulted in a partial victory for the striking em- ployes.
 The men win thelr demands for bet ter pay and defin>te hours of labor, but dropped the contention for a re- cognition of the union. The settle ment of the strike on terms which does not recognize the union fails to meet the approval of the labor leaders and it is predicted that it will result in futdre trouble. The leaders assert that the company will refuse to give employment to those who took leading parts in the pres ent strike and will fill their places with nOn-uniOn men.
 The officials of the company had refused to submit their case to arbi- tration contending that there was mo- thing to arbitrate out were forced to recede from their position, as the sympathy of the citizens generally were the employees of the company.

A BIG NAME MADE IT PRICELESS.

There has just happened over in Bavaria one of the queer things that make "art," as understood by it's learned experts, and the standard by which they judge objects submitted to their criticism, so highly interest ing for the barbarians whose one poor measure of aesthetic value is expressed when they say, I've know what we like" The real connois- seurs apply a different test, or at any rate their liking for picture or a statue seems to have nothing what ever to do with whether it offends or delights their eyes.
 For observe: There was recently discovered by somebody housing through the old castle of Rosenberg, near Kronach, an ancient painting which to the mouser seemed to be a fine piece of work, and he caused it to be taken to the local museum in order to get an authoritative opin- ion of it's merit. There, after care full inspection, the picture was de- clared to be worthless, and as such it was scornfully rejected and thrown out. On later and more thorough ex- animation, and after digging down through the accumulated grimes of neglectful years, ii was discovered that the worthless picture was a signed and dated production of Ru- bens. Instantly the Wise Ones who had proclaimed it haught eealized that it was a great fnd-a treasure to be reverenced by the elect and price-marked high in the thousands of dollars.
 At such change of mind as that the poor creatures who only know what they like either humbly keep a mystified silence. or else. if quite lost to the sense of their own shameful incapacity az art critics. they impu.

WHY AMERICA HAS DUG
THE PANAMA CANAL

Why has America succeeded in build
ing the Panama Canal where Franc q
failed? Was it because we had more
money, better men, or-better tools? No,
1t was because the French died so fast
that they could not make any progress.
The French, with an average force~o
10000 employees, lost from death dur
ling their construction period $4,000
men. We. with an average force OF 80
600 men during about the same length
of time, have lost from death 1000.
The French, with an average of 1900
white employees lost during their con-
struction period from yellow fever
1000. men. We, with an average of
5000 white employees during the same
length of time, have lost from yellow
fever only eighteen. The important
question; however, is the health of the
American employees. During the year
1911 we had 10,4S9 American whites
connected with the commission. Their
death rate from disease was 4.48 per
thousand. OF these 10 489 American,
6,O25 were men and 4,464 women ana
children. The death rate from disease
among the men was 2.82 per thousand.
That among the women and children
from the same cause was .6.72 per
thousand. These facts are taken from

Mexico was recently in the throes

can poems who fought and bled, be-
cause they lacked the elements of
education and were thus deficient in
power, other than brute force, are to-
day no better of than they were five
years ago. Because. their slavery was
no longer bearable they rose in revolt.
Because they we're uneducated they
could make their demands felt in no
other way but by the force of arms.
Because they were unorganized they
fought in the same haphazard manner
as our competitors for instance, do
in business. Instead of marching
hand in hand, for one common. end in
view, they cut each others threats and
used the blood to soothe their aching
hearts. In the meantime an astute
politician can take advantage of them
and lead them to believe that for their
benefit he is allowing himself to fleeoe
them.
