out of a large number of pictures

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1918
TWO EXTREMES.

It seems as if it ought to be pos
sible for a newspaper or a magazine
to discuss public questions without
either undertaking or becoming an
apologist for evil. 1t appears. how
ever. that a good many publications
and IT Impossible to exist without rum
ming to one extreme or the other.
Undertaking is not as popular with
the magazines as it was a few years
ago. There was a time when very few
Of the popular magazines failed to
carry an article or two every month
showing UP the iniquity of something
or somebody. Some Of these articles
were really useful expositions of
things concerning which the public
had been uniformed. and concerning
which it needed to be formed. But
others were mere pieces Of sensatnon-
alism. intended to rouse feeling and
sell magazjns, regardless of whether
or not there was any foundation for
the statements made.
Meanwhile. things have been pretty
we'll exposed. and if light has not
been shed into all the dark places.
it has been shed into hou as many
as the public has time to look into
tust. now. For the time being. there
fore. the expose appears to have run
its course. or nearly so, There are a
few exceptions. 4 few publications
have got so into the habit Of exposing
things that they must keep it up, re-
gardless of whether they know Of any
thing to expose or not. Hence they
maintain on their staffs professional
exposers who will muckrake anything,
from the Father of His Country to the
grocery store around the corner. for a
stated price per thousand words.
These publications have their vogue.
They have readers who swear by them,
and who wait eagerly for the next
number to see what fresh iniquities
have been discovered. There are PEG
pie who like to believe that every
thing is evil. In their estimation, II
the man who passed the collection
plate on Sunday is not convicted of
stealing half the collection it Is be-
cause he does it SO quickly that no one
has yet caught him at it. But wait.
Perhaps he will be detected before the
next number Of the magazine goes to
press.
It is no a Wholesome state Of mind
which these publications cultivate.
and to which they cater. There is
enough of evil in the world without
manufacturing more out of the whole
cloth, as is being done in some Of
these professional undertaking maya
zines. We need to know something
Of this evil. But it is we'll that there
should be a recognition Of the good
that exists. SO that we may not lose
all our faith in the world and in hu-
manity.

GENERAL HuERTA,s MESSAGE.

There is no alarming note in the
frst message Of Provisional President
Huerta to the Mexican congress-, says
the New York Times. On the con-
tray, he expressly says that negotia-
lions with the United States govern
ment 'have not been broken off," and
that the Mexican government hopes
with good grounds. to see quickly solv-
ed the differences which day by day
keep in suspense that good friendship
which Of old united. and for an in
definite future should unite, us to our
powerful civilized neighbour" He also
says. however. that 'the strain Of our
diplomatic relations with the govern
ment Of the United States. although
luckily not with that people," has "re-
tarded the complete %pacifcation Of
the republic" Considering the signs
that have been noted that Huerta's
following has increased in numbers
and strength because of washington's
treatment Of him, we must infer that
General Huerta is Of a constitution
ally gloomy temperament. His init
nation that foreign warships will not
be expected to remain in Mexican wa
tiers after the term Of authorization
expires, October rs. cannot be con-
strued into a warlike utterance. If It
is necessary for the United States to
have ships on hand to protect Ameri-
cans. undoubtedly the Mexican gov
eminent will renew it's authorization.
The message reveals no new trait
Of Huerta's political character. throws
no new light on the internal situation.
The idea in the City Of Mexico il that
only Sonora and Durango are COM
pletely in rebel control, but the money
Recently borrowed through the Mexi-
can banks is to be expended for the
enlistment OF more troops and the
equipment OF the army, and all the
soldiers and rurales Huerta a COM
mand are needed to suppress the
hordes of bandits in many states. A
general peace is not visible in Mexico
by any means. nor are our information
