tiers at Devils Lake. He is well known

Not chautauada Topic.

New York Mail: While the secre-
tary of state is busy writing the politi-
cal columns Of The Commoner and
filing, his six weeks paid lecture tour,
the government of the United States
continues to ignore the appalling con-
ditions of civil war and brigandage
which threaten to overwhelm and des-
troy all peace and order in Mexico.
Multitudes of Americans are fleeing
for their lives from the unhappy re-
public, and the tide of anti-American
feeling among the Mexican masses is
being whipped up by those who be-
lieve that the refusal of the Wilson
administration to recognize the de
facto government is due to a deliber-
ate desire on the part of the United
States to allow Mexico to be- ruined
and wrecked as a preliminary to arm
ed American intervention and the an
nexation of Mexican territory.
Never have the American people
suffered a more incompetent, confused
and helpless Dolicy in the conduct of
their foreign affairs.
1t. may be proper for the secretary
of state. to add to his salary by editing
a publication devoted to- party politics
and to make, a few thousand dollars
by public lectures at a time when con-
gress is in session, but surely there
should be some one in the national
government with time enough to at
tempt to save the United States from
the ~unspeakable horror of an avoidable
war with Mexico.
Fortunately, President Wilson has
not as yet made any private lecture
engagements and is free from Journal
istic duties. Possibly the increasing
menace4of the Mexican situation may
persuade him to taketit in hand.

Stsenarson in WASHINGTON.

Congressman STEVENSON, acconpan-
led by his wife, arrived at the nation
al capital Monday evening. Dispatches
say that the. congressman, during his
visit in Minnesota, made a thorough
examination of the Lake of the Woods
with respect to the proposed new level
which the International waterways
commission is now attempting to es-
tablish. He found that the question
is n requiring much study as a low
ering Of the lake level of more than
three feet would be harmful to the
Warroad and other harbors. Mr..
Stevenson believes that if the lake
is lowered two and one-half feet it
will be satisfactory to practically every
one.
Mr.. Steenerson. who was brought in
directly into the lobby, inquired by
Colonel Mulhall. says that he. had no
recollection of having been visited by
Mr.. Mulhall in his Office or elsewhere.
The lobbyist said that he merely called
upon Mr.. Steenerson and had a little
informal chat with him.

HANNA WAITING
FOR DECISION

Grand Forks, Nd, July 30.--Gov. Il.
b. Hanna was in the city last evening
en- route to the Hamilton fair, and re-
manned over until this morning. He is
expecting, within a few days, a writ

chief executive of the state to call an
extra session in order to make posi-
bic a change in state laws relative to
the election of United States senators
in conformity with the amended feder-
al constitution governing the same;
and, secondly, whether he can limit the

subject suggested. He states that
he has written the attorney general
for the opinion and has been advised
that he would receive it this week at
the latest.
Wants Cooperation.
AS soon as he is in receipt of this
opinion, he will advise the different
members of the state legislature of it's
%purport. and in, case he is advised that
the unit Limitation subject is not pos
sible, will ask their earnest ~co-opera-
ton in confining, as far as is possible,
the time to this one subject, as it is
mainly for this purpose that the SEES
sion is to be called, and he is DESTROYS

Sunday Games.

New York World: Mayor Gaynor
never talked better sense than in his
defense of Sunday games. Neither
in law nor in reason is there n ex-
cuse for condemning young people to
enforced idleness on the n day in
the week open to them for physical
exercise and outdoor recreation.
The law provides for a weekly day
of rest, not how individuals shall wor-
ship or amuse themselves. On the
score of health alone, as the mayor
says, it is a good thing that boys and
men should get out and play games
on Sunday. On the score of morals it
is a good thing. The absurd prejudice
that seeks to impose its own rigid
rules of conduct upon all persons
alike, defeats it's professed ends by
making ~loafers and criminals of boys
who want fun and relaxation in the
open air.
