NO QUARTER FOR HUERTA.

The Presidents stand that there be no circunl-
stances justifying recognition of Huerta President
of Mexico, either or after possible "constitu-
tional' election, will be criticised in some quarters
yet there be doubt that the community at large
will support it. The news dispatches of yesterday
brought an account of the execution of member of
congress under charge of plotting the assassination
of Huerta; but it is very we'll understood that the
real reason was that this member had been recalci
trant about accepting orders from Huerta. 1t
deemed desirable to get him out of the way, partly
because he was in himself troublesome, and also
because it seemed necessary to make example
of somebody by way of warning others.
Thus we see the spectacle not only of govern
ment created and set foot by assassination, but
which proposes to maintain and continue itself by
political murder. The American nation and the
nations of the civilized world alike will not assent
to that program.
President Wilson plainly enough has carried his
country and the other civilized countries with him
thus far in his program of peace and non-nerventon.
Huerta in his desperation may yet force intervention
He is perhaps ignorant enough yet TO dream that the
American nation might be defed with safety: The
recent demonstration of national unanimity,
given to President Wilson since his an
nouncement of purpose to present a full
statement of the Mexican. crisis to Congress,
ought end all nope of that sort Politics has been
eliminated, and the Congress and country alike stand
together at the back of the President. He will be
given all the chance he can ask first TO preserve
the peace, and after that, If the peace cannot be
saved with self-respect he will be backed to the
limit in the more vigorous measures he may demand.

HERCULES NOT IN 1T.

A force of $4,000 men blowing steadily for
eight hours, could turn over something like 900
square miles of earth At bricklayng they
could build wall five feet high one foot wide
ard 3l0 miles long Writing at reasonable speed and
with proper allowance for thought and attention TO
style, they could finish the manuscripts of some
IL 600 novels of average length
These statistics are not of interest to the State
of Missouri. The only question there is what a
force of $4,000 men, working eight hours a day
for two days, do for the roads of the State.
The rest of the world is waiting to see what they
will have done, not for but to them.
Everybody knows what it is to strike road with
both cutters freshly plowed up into the center.
Think of whole State of such roads, and then of
a good heavy rainstorm. Everybody knows what
it is to get foolish and handle shovel or pull on a
rope with soft hands. Think of how bitter it would
be to Missouri to have such hands and the rain
storm, too
Of course it is great thing to be pubic-spirited.
But it is better to keep public-sprited We venture
tc guess that Missouris $4,000 will not undertake
to keep in repair the roads they built. The value
of the demonstration lies more particularly in the
proof it will afford that money and skill are both
requisites in road making. Perhaps enthusiasm will
now carry the State onward. But there is also the
risk that when it all this work of the $4,000
washed away it will just say: Whats the use?" and
resign itself again to following the wheel tracks
through the scrub oak

A SULZER CONSPIRACY?

There is no particular doubt that the enemies of
Governor Sulzer have conspired to accomplish his
ruin. The conspiracy probably was inaugurated about
the time he was nominated He has been watched,
bounded very possibly brought under influences that
were intended to lead him astray.
But yet it may be doubted whether the proof OF
all that would save him. The community would rather
far see him saved despite his mistakes, than that
Murphy should control at Albany. But as matters
now stand, it is not apparent how he can be saved
His supporters propose indictment of his enemies for
conspiracy and for gigantic frauds against the State
Whether Sulzer wins or loses, those cases ought to
be pressed If Sulzer is removed it will at least be
some satisfaction to see the looting machine which
shall have ousted him. smashed to pieces and few
of its leaders locked up.

IMPROVING THE MONEY BILL.

The banking business in the United States is very
different from the same business in Europe. 1t is
true enough that in some sections of this country
notably much of the South and some parts of the
West there not ample financial facilities adapted
tc the needs of the farming community On the other
hand, there very extensive agricultural sections
in which the present accommodations for the rural
community ample and well-nigh ideal. There is
at least one State in this Union in which are more
banks than can be found in all England. They are
small banks; close to the people; largely owned by
the farmers. They understand the farmers needs
and requirements each bank knows the people of its
neghborhood and knows the measure of confidence
and credit they deserve. 1t takes care of its own
ment serves all the purposes that the rural credit
cooperative associations of Europe serve, and
others.
In the pending banking and currency measure it
is proposed now to create groundwork on which to
rear rural credit system not unlike that of the Old
World countries. That is an excellent proposal But
the thing must be done with great care, lest in the
effort to help some sections which need it, we may
so weaken the banking system in places where it is
not needed that these places will be left worse off
than they now are.
The Middle Western agricultural States where
small and popularity owned banks are very numerous
have mighty little prejudice against banks. Every
body OF else his neighbor, owns some bank stock;
perhaps is on bank board or two. Everybody"
out there has banking credit of some sort system
that looks to the substitution of the European sort
of credit, based on drafts and acceptances, would
tend ultimately TO reduce the number of banks to
take the banks farther away from the rural COM
munity; and, in fine, to reduce that community's
opportunities for getting credit that it needs This
very possible greatly to be feared outcome of
the program Of making rediscount7 more difficult
and placing our banking fabric more nearly on the
basis on which European systems stand.

THE SPEER INVESTIGATION.

The House Judiciary Committee has agreed that
complete investigation shall be made into charges
involving the official conduct of Judge Emory Speer
of the Georgia district Federal bench. Without ref
erence to the character or merits of the charges,
the action should be approved. AS matter of fact,
the House Committee on the Judiciary ought to be
provided with some proper machinery for keeping
itself constantly in touch with the conduct of Federal
courts.
1t is not desirable that the Department Of
Justice should investigate and perhaps play at times
the spy in order to keep judges reminded of the
letter and spirit of their duty That department IS
often in the courts as party to proceedings of
the greatest importance. So long as impeachment
must be started in the House, the House should be
equipped with instrumentalities for making such
Investigations, keeping informed of the conditions in
the courts, and the like The Judiciary Committee
is the natural place for such authority to be lodged
That committee ought to have available proper con-
tngent fund and standing authority employ agents
tc conduct such investigations as are now made by
the Department of Justice, into the workings of
Federal. courts

OUR OWN SUPERIORITY.

Dean Worcester having reported that slavery of a
most vicious type is yet existent in the Philippines
we shall now hear expressions of horror 1om good
people and excellent organizations 1t will be par
ticuarly insisted that with such low state of civil
ization in the islands, We must under no circumstances
give them independence. First we must civilze them
and teach them better things.
Excellent and ennobling thought. Perhaps by
keeping them long enough We can get them to con-
duct their traffic in human beings the plane that
our white slavers have it now established in this
country The report of the Rockefeller investigation
makes it very plain that as conduct the business
in this country it is far more profitable than under the
crude processes of the FiliPinos. BY all odds teach
them how to do it with syndicates and exchanges and
stock issues and modern frillS, as we do.

A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.

test was made by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company of the movement of traffic IN the hrst
eighteen days of August by causing count to be
taken of the number of cars passing certain lmpor-
tant points the road between New York and
Pittsburgh.
1t was found that the car movement was more
than per cent greater than for the corresponding
period of last year. And in 1912 freight traffic was
unusually large.
When there is so much business to move, and
ii is kept moving there is encouragement for every
body to believe that prosperity is maintaining the
pace which it set for itself despite tariff legislation,
the currency bill, and everything else.

WHERE WILL WE GET OUR BEEF?

With the passage Of the new tariff bl the hope
of cheaper meat for the American people lies in
Argentina and Australia Besides the United States
they are the only countries in which the raising of
cattle on a large scale in excess of home demands
has been found profitable.
But, according to an article in the New York
Journal of Commerce, this hope is far from likely
TO be realized in the next few years. at least Argen-
tina has had three successive seasons of drought,
followed by an epidemic of foot and mouth disease
Australia too, is just recovering from the effects
of drought, to which the climate, in parts of the
country, is peculiarly subject.
Coupling these conditions with the welI-known
fact that there has been astonishing decrease in
the number of beef cattle in the United States in
the last six years, we find it easier TO understand
the growing proportions of our butchers bill The
Journal of Commerce quotes the figures of this de-
crease, 100000 cattle since January |, 1907, and
points out also that sheep have decreased from
100000 to 100000 in the same period, while
the only encouragement is in the increase of the
number of hogs from 55OGOOO0 10 81 100000
