FEAR FOR FUTURE OF MEXICO

The lull in Mexico may portend a
storm-how terrible no one can say
Herewith are given paragraphs from
an editorial in the Washington Times,
published at the seat of national gov
ernment, and presumably informed re-
garding a situation the critical nature
of which is unknown to the public To
quote:
Here in Washington it is well
known, among people who maintain
touch with the currents of opinion
among men who at length must deter
mine the nations course, that Mexico
is regarded with a concern which, If
it should find articulation, and if the
world could know exactly who are the
men entertaining these misgivings,
would enforce a realization that the
situation is tremendously grave, and
may at any time involve this country
in one of the most difficult tasks ever
presented to US.
Men who have no stomach for that
sort Of thing; men who feel that it

INJUSTICE OF filming.

The state charities commission in
is 1912 report, which is Just out, ar
raigns the fining OF men aud women,
guilty OF misdemeanors and minor Of
fenses. The commission says:
I'VE are opposed to the system Of
hning as practiced throughout Illinois.
We believe IT is wrong to fine the head
OF a family for a misdemeanor or pet
~ infraction aud take from him that
which should go to his family for its
support Such punishment degrades
him through enforced idleness and en-
forced association with classes which
may be infinitely worse and reduces
his family 10 pauperism and depend
ency, entailing heavy burdens upon
the public. Fines levied against such
misdemeanants should be collected and
paid over to his family for its support.
and when he is held prisoner as pun
ishment he should be compelled TO
work and his earnings delivered 10 his
family.
This principle is meeting with IA
vor throughout the country. There is
Just demand that it be applied in the
state prisons in which are many whose
families have been left to be humili-
ated and then pauperized by public
charity"
Rock Island Argus., 1913-05-15
FREAKS IN LEGISLATION.

Freak legislation is not new fea.
ture among our state lawmaking
bodies
In 1907 an Arkansas legislature ser
iously considered a bill prohibiting
non-residents of the state 10 acquire
title to real estate within its jurisdic-
ton.
Perhaps California got its idea from
Arkansas.
In Texas, law mak1rs debated bill
making it n'awful for wage Garner
to work more than twenty-six days in
any month, under heavy penalty.
Also in the same year Oklahoma
proposed a measure providing that all
persons Of coed moral character be ad-
mitted to the practice of law without
examination.
Also in that year in Missouri, bill
was introduced prohibiting any one
from playing baseball except within
an enclosure surrounded by an eight
foot fence.
In Texas in the same year, a law
was introduced requiring all passen-
ger trains to stop at incorporated
towns.
Fortunately for the pubic, few of
these bills were enacted into laws.
The saving good sense of most legis-
latures prevents cranks from making
state statutes ridiculous
But even as it is, many OF the
laws that are enacted are more OBJ.
served in the breach than in the OBJ
servance.
For instance. a railroad manager is
authority for the statemen. that If his
company observed to the letter the
law requiring the speed Of trains
through the corporate limits Of cities
OF Illinois, Il would require a dozen
hours for a passenger train to run
from Chicago to Rock Island.
The fact OF the matter IS. the time
Of the train is about four hours.
The railroad company realized thai
the public would be quick TO protest
against the enforcement Of the law.
Rock Island Argus., 1913-05-15

would be unmixed calamity for US to
throw an army into Mexico and under
take pacitication and organization of
the country; men who recognize that
such diversion of interest, attention,
and activity would distract from do
mestic problems which cry out for
close study and wise action, neverthe-
less are talking every day of the pos
sihilities in the situation below the
Rio Grands. They are the men, too,
who will decide for this country, by
their votes, what our course shall be.
1T is condition whose seriousness
is appreciated by few people in this
country, and which seems quite past
the comprehension of the men now
attempting TO maintain themselves as
the government of Mexico. The pre-
diction is heard so often and in such
quarters as to compel attention, that
the end must be intervention and al
most as often this is accompanied
with the expression that if once our
arms reach out to Mexico, We will
never withdraw them"
Rock Island Argus., 1913-05-15

The most successful credit system
in Europe is the cooperative plan
adapted from the Raiffeisen banking
system of Germany. Here the only
asset given to secure loans is the col
lective word of poor but honest men,
each man bound by the terms of mem
bership in the Raiffeisen bank to un-
limited liability for the debts of his
fellow members.
That this pledge, given under such
circumstances, is as good as a bond
in the money markets of Europe is
shown by the fact that the society has
been able to borrow vast sums of mon
ey at low rates of interest, and that
losses due TO defalcation have been
insignificant.
But Mr.. Bathrick thinks such a sys-
TEN is not likely to thrive in the
United States. The same result can
be reached if the government Dor
rows the money on low interest bear.
ing bonds and loans it again to farm.

the correction. Heretofore, however,
the average newspaper, seeking to es-
tablish absolutely its reliability, has
ofttimes been loath TO publicly ac-
knowledge a wrong But The Times
takes the opposite view-and it may
be the wholly correct vision. 1t holds
that the very fact that it has "cor-
rectton column" and sets right a per-
son wronged, with a willingness born
in sincerity, will prove to the public
that 1t wants nothing but the unbiased
fact.
A readiness and an eagerness to re-
pair any injury unintentionally done
is the mark of a gentleman II is the
mark of a gentlemanly newspaper.

of strong element naturally pro-Rus-
sion. They are far from indicating
any admixture, on a large scale, of
new-made Americans whose natural
leaning is toward the empire of the
czars.
"On the contrary" as the French
man said when asked, one rough day
at sea, If he had dined The great
majority Of this army of immigrants
that come to America from Russia
look back upon that country as a
land ruled by tyrants and cursed by
race and religious persecution. They
are glad to be done with it forever,
and thankful that they have escaped
from a government which they could
never feel was their own.
For these immigrants from Russia
are mostly Jews who have suffered from
Russian injustice and cruelty and
Poles who hate Russia as the chief
destroyer of Poland as an independ-
ent kingdom. These two elements
the Catholic Poles and the Hebrews
constitute the vast majority OF the
multitude Of immigrants from the Rus
sian empire. Only in the narrowest
technical sense are they Russians, for
in spirit, feeling, point of view, hopes
and ambitions they are far from be-
ing typical Muscov!tes.
Rock Island Argus., 1913-05-15
CAPITAL COMMENT

The farm lands thus pledged would
be the security for the government
bonds. The government would simply
be acting as trustee for the farming
population in securing loans at cheap
rates.
Because of the low productive val
ue of the farm investment" says Mr.
Bathrick, farm loans should be for
a much longer period than the average
life of the present day farm mort
gage. The government alone is the
only agency now to whom the farmers
can appeal for long term loans. The
government can easily borrow for long
periods at low rates.
st would be necessary for the gov
ernment to relend to the farmers at
an advance of only half of one per cent
to pay all the expenses of the sys-
tenn and return profit to the treas
ury besides. This profit could be de-
voted to the Improvement OF rural
life.
New Zealand has been borrowing
money for farmers on this plan for
several years. Last year that coun-
try, by making a profit of one-half
of one per cent made over 100000
profit. Australia has also been con.
ducting the same system profitably
The Australian surplus is used in
building good roads and for other rural
| improvements.
''The state Of Minnesota is seeing
the light. Minnesota realized $4,000,
| 600 from the sale of school lands. This
money, instead of being used to en-
courage farming, was sent to the east
ern money market to be loaned. The
state is now going about it to gel
this money back for her farmers.
Wisconsin is also considering q
system of borrowing on state bonds
and lending the proceeds from the
bond sales to farmers at low rates
Mr.. Bathrick thinks that cheaper
money for farmers will result moi
only in increased farming prosperity
but in increased prosperity for towns
and cities.
When capital can no longer eXac
high rates from farmers" he says
''it will seek industry, which Offer
the next highest returns. This W.
stimulate industry, build new factorie.
and raise wages by increasing the de
mand for labor"
