respondent ut is only fair to say
that President Wilson has shown re-
markable forbearance. Had Mexico
been in Europe the great powers of the
old world would have interviewed long
ago. Says the Echo de Paris" one
of the most serious of the French
morning papers:
President Wilson has declared that
he is 'unalterably opposed to any gov
eminent in Mexico irreSularly estab-
lished' by ambitious politicians. Why
has the new president so declared
himself? His declaration really means
that Mexico is to be turned over to
anarchy or else is to suffer from the
unfriendliness OF the United States
Is President Wilson merely ignorant
Iof American conditions? On the
part Of his secretary of state, Mr.
Bryan, all the ignorances are possible
"All hypothese are permissible, but
this is certain: All roads in the
United States lead to intervention
Stronger than the words of politicians
lis an irresistible force inclining the
United States towards the absorption
of Mexico and Central America"

RATE REDUCTION
| HELPS MERCHANTS
G. F. Mcfarland Of This City Faces a
Battery Of Railroad Men to
Win Rate
Case.
WRAPPING PAPER RATE
Difference In Classification Of Tween.
y Years is Wiped Out In the
Decision Of the
Commission.

For twenty years there has been a
difference in the railroad freight rate
for Iowa on printed and blank wrap
ping paper. The higher rate charged
for the printed wrapping paper mas
made the cost of that paper thous.
ands of dollars more to the retail
merchants than the plain wrapping
paper. Consequently the use of the
printed wrapping paper has been re-
stricted somewhat, especially with
| the small merchants.
Through the efforts Of G. F.. Nc
Farland of this city, the difference In
classification has been removed sc
that the difference OF cost of the
printed wrapping paper and the plain
wrapping paper will not be nearly as
great as formerly. This will mean q
great saving for many merchants
and will also make 1t possible for
many smaller merchants to make use
of the printed wrapping paper who
are not now doing it.
Mr.. Mcfarland went before the
Iowa railroad commissions last week
to push the case he had presented
He was alone on his side of the case
and regular battery of railroad mer
was lined up against him. After the
evidence had been presented the com
mission took the case under advise
ment and his given its decision re
ducing the printed wrapping paper
from second class to third class, max
ling reduction of probably 20 pei
cent In the rate.
Wrapping paper not printed goes
third class. The difference in the
classification arose probably twenty
years ago when the cost of printing
was much greater than as present.
