Does Considerable Damage
To A Residence

Fire partially destroyed the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Hunt at 121 East

scene the rear of the home was burn

and efficient work was 1t saved from
total destruction. The damage was

The Mexican Situation.

1t has lately been stated that the Presi-
dent is well pleased with the outcome OF
his negotiations with Mexico, when ne
regards as a moral victory for the United
States. This is gratifying, and it is to be
hoped that the moral victory will be SUBJ
stantial and lasting, and that the Ameri-
can policy with regard to Mexico VIII
work out to the permanent settlement OF
problems between the two countries. But
meanwhile conditions are not altogether
satisfactory If reports from the Rlo
Grande and south of that boundary are
trustworthy, conditions as they affect the
American interests in Mexico are decid-
edly unsatisfactory Americans who have
not left the country in response to the
government warnings are in peril In
many places American properties. left
virtually unguarded when their owners or
managers FASTENED out of Mexico re-
Gently, are at the mercy of bands OIL
brigands and undisciplined soldiers Out
RACES are, described almost every day In
dispatches from across the line. In one
case a Mexican judge has refused to rec
ognize an American consul's demand for
information as to the progress of an m
vestigation into a shocking procedure, or
which an American woman WAS NlCtiiI.
Meantime there is growing belief that
the elections will not take place on the
date proclaimed the latter part of this
month. 1t is true that apparently Huerta
has been eliminated or has eliminated
himself, from the presidential campaign,
and to this extent the American policy
has been indicated. Yet this does not
guarantee such an election as the United
States can consistently recognize as a
FULL free and satisfactory test of public
sentiment in Mexico. There is, indeed, at
this time a prospect of continued UNI
certainty in the relations between the
two countries, with a prolongation of the
period of non-recognition. American busI-
ness interests are growing impatient as
to this state of affairs. United States
trade with Mexico is practically at
standstill, while immense sums in Amer-
can investments in that country are in
jeopardy The owners of mines and plan
,ations and the holders of bonds and stock
of Mexican corporations would welcome
a transmutation of the moral victory into
something definitely making for a resto-
ration OF order and a safeguarding OF
lives, rights and values.

The Farmer and the Future,

From the st. Louis Republic
The American Meat Packers Associa-
ton has voted to spend half a million
dollars in educating the farmers to raise
cattle. The plan is to spread the fund
over period of five years. at the end
OF which the association believes the cat
tie industry will be in good shape. Just
how they are going to spend this appro-
priation is not disclosed.

result The ranges have shrunk, in many
instances disappeared. with the advent
of the settlers. But the real explanation
lies in the fact that the farmer has
believed that there were bigger profits
and less hazard in other products.
1t is patent. too, that as long as the
farmer feels that way it is going to be
back to cattle raising. Indeed. 1t might
be considered impossible. The farmer
cannot be wiled into conducting his farm
contrary to his judgment, any more than
can any other business man. The posi-

The World Series Trouble.

That part of the public that is inter-
ested IN the national game-a very con-
siderable part it is, tools just now
more or less concerned over the posi-
bility that the great climactic contest
known as the world series may not
occur. The Philadelphia and New York
teams have won championships in their
respective leagues and are ready to
start the battle for the supreme honors
of base ball-and the large profits-next
Tuesday. But meanwhile complica-
ton has arisen. Notwithstanding certain
official declarations of disapproval, some
Of the stars Of the game of both leagues,
managers and players, have made con-
tracts to write" accounts of the games

with their present arrangements. They
are for the most part selling the use Of
their names. with perhaps very little
degree Of participation in preparing the
actual reports of the diamond battles.
But that matters little to the public
that reads the purported observations of
Ty Cobb or John McGraw, Frank
Chance or Christy Mathewson, Iris
Speaker or Walter Johnson, Honey
Geoghegan. Hans Wagner or Baldomero
Acosta. Imagination does a great deal
and no one has a right to complain If
the fingers that hold a failing bat or
twirl an unhittable curve or catch an
impossible fly actually pen the thrilling
words of description. The national base
ball commission, the all-powerful oil
garchy that rules the destinies of the
sport and almost without check guides
the personal fortunes and conduct of
the players. takes a different view. 1t is
SO afraid of defrauding the public through
the printing of world series stories over
famous base ball names but written by
others that il has put a ban upon all
PLAYER descriptions. The player-authors
