The government of the United States

AS to the course of action suggested
by you to be taken by the United States
1 may say that the President OF the
United States regards the question OF the
recognition of the de facto government
any future government in Mexico as one
wholly for the United States to deter

I'm the exercise Of its sovereign rights
in this behalf the United States will not
hesitate to suggest the adoption by the
de facto government Of Mexico seeking
recognition especially at a time Of serious
domestic disturbances only of such course
Of action In the judgment Of the United
States can alone lead to recognition in
President of the United States sincerely
and ardently believes that the de facto
government in Mexico will see In his sug-
gestion the most peaceable plan for serv-
ing the highest interests Of Mexico and
for insuring the speedy re-establishment
OF domestic tranquility.
The New Proposals.
IN that spirit and in the spirit voiced
Of the United States Of America author
a
the defacto government in Mexico:
"First-That the election called for
October 26, 1913, shall be held in ac-
cordance with the constitutional laws
of Mexico.
''Second-That Huerta, in the manner
originally indicated by the President of
the United States Of America, give the
assurances called for in paragraph c.
OF my original instructions.
"Ts:-d-That the remaining PROPOSE
lions contained in my original instruc-
lions shall be taken up later, but that
speedily. and resolved as circumstances
permit and in the spirit Of their pro-
posel.
Might Reassure Bankers.
1.-The President Of the United States OF
America further authorize me to say
that IL the de facto government OF
Mexico at once acts favorably upon the
foregoing suggestions, then in that
event the President will express to
American bankers and their associates
assurances that the government OF the
United States of America will look
with favor upon the extension of an
immediate loan sufficient In amount to
meet the temporary requirements Of
the de facto government of Mexico.
1T is sincerely hoped that your ex-
cellency's government will deem 1t con-
sistent with the best and highest inter
csts OF Mexico Immediately to accept
these propositions. They are submitted
in the same spirit and to the same end
as the original propositions. but in this
more restricted form, SO that the de
facto government In Mexico may act
thereon without requiring the co-opera-
ton or concurrence OF any other factor
in the situation.

Wilson Has Blundered.

rom the New York Mail.
Every good American hopes that Presi-
lent Wilson will find a way out OF the
embarrassing and dangerous situation
INTO which he has brought the United
states by his refusal to recognize the
provisional government at a time when
that recognition might have been given
without loss of national prestige. But
il is utterly preposterous to cite the re-
fussil OF President Hayes to recognize
the government Of Gen. POrfrio Diaz
more than a generation ago as prece-
dent for the present case. Gen. Diaz
was a mere military dictator. He domi-
mated Mexico without a shadow of legal
right Until he was finally elected presi-
dent his only title to power was his
sword. President Huerta is in totally
Inherent position.

The Message on Mexico.

ON the Baltimore Sun.
What a mean-spirited lot the United
states Presidents are these days. Mr..
Wilson's message yesterday didn't con-
tain single yell for blood, a single
lingo utterance, a single bombastic APP
peal. The nearest approach to threat
lay in what the President had to say
concerning this nations holding respon-
sible those who assume TO exercise author
ity in Mexico for the losses and suffer
ings Of Americans in that country And
even this was weakened by the accom-
panying recommendation that all Amer
leans who could do SO should get out Of
tie country at once. In brief the Presi-
dents idea is that Uncle Sam, instead of
behaving like the ramping bully the
English illustrated papers used to por-
tray him. should conduct himself patient
" and with self-restraint, like grown
man, and, having tho strength of a
giant. be particularly careful not to use

That President Wilson ia assured Of the

a peaceful but firm manner, is shown by
the tenor Of the opinions regarding the

by leading senators and represent tives

1T seems TO me that this Mexican
situation presents case where silence
Of most folks is golden. Il is ticklish and
grave. The Presidents address to Con-

the very nature Of things, he knows more

Brief But Neat.

During the journey of a royal train
from Balporal to Windsor the ordi-
nary passenger traffic was very much
disorganized, and express trains were
suddenly drawn up" to the no small
annoyance Of commercial men and
others, who could truly say that with
them time was money" An express
train between Perth and Aberdeen was
great sufferer in this respect, and a
certain commercial traveller was quite
boisterous in his denunciation Of the
frequent stops, At last when he had
tired his fellow-passengers with his
grumbling, he Topped down the win
dow and shouted: Guard! l say,
guard"
"Yes, sir" answered the official ad-
dressed. approaching the compartment.
"Oh. guard, this is simply disgust
ingl Why all these stops1 What's
up, man, what's up?" said the COM
mercial traveller, in bantering tones.
The guards reply was brief. neat
and certainly to the point, for he sim
ply answered:

The Commercials window was
closed with bang.

Restaurants.

A restaurant is a place where you
pay four dollars for fifteen cents
worth of food, accompanied by about
two dollars worth of light labor, light
china and light music, which you have
heard before. After leaving your hat
with Wall street syndicate, you pay
all the way from ten cents to quar-
ter for the privilege of getting 1t back
and wearing 1t once more. The diff
ference between a man and woman
indeed today is quite simple. A wom-
an pays ffty dollars all ut once for
her hat, while man pays flve dollars
for his and flfty-fve more In tip in

stratford. Ancient and Modsrn,

1t is now, and contained about / 400 in
habitants. Today its population num-
bers upwards of 5000, new dwellings
have arisen where once were fields of
wheat, glorious with the shimmering
luster of the scarlet poppy. The older
buildings, for the most part, have been
demolished or altered. Manufacture,
chiefly of beer. and OF Shakespearean
relics, has been stimulated into pros
porous activity. The Avon has been
Spanned by a new bridge of iron. The
village streets have been leveled.
swept, rolled and garnished till they
look like Flemish drawing OF the

cottage, the ancient Tudor house, in
High street, and the two old churches

restored. = Winters "Shakespeares

The so-calIed senile changes arS
changes which have been going on
ever since We began our individual
existence.
THE time when we begin to feel
old, the particular period at which we

that period at which these internal

ut is nothing short of absurd to say
that man becomes old or senile, or
incapable of further development or
incapable of the conception Of new
Ideas at. or after, any special or par
ticular age. There is no one period
of life In which we grow, and another
In which we decline. Both processes
are going on side by side in every
part of our body from the day we
are born. Just as the life Of the
body means the death of certain of
Its cells, so the growth of every pow

and the decay of others Every primi-

part of its life to become a muscle
cell, neurone, a blood corpuscle, or
O bone cell.
'The process has no limit, any
more than it has beginnings. Life ia

matters as mere avoirdupois and stat

muscles, we reach a limit, a period
of what we are pleased to call ma
turity, at comparatively early age;
yet In other and more important re-

fort, or new enterprise, or improve
