General Huerta on Mexican Affairs.

General Huerta erred in his attempt to distn-
guish, in yesterdays message, between the govern
ment and the people Of the United States. 1t Is,
OF course technically true that his controversy is
with our government and not with the people in
town meeting assembled But the obvious implica
ton Of his words that there is difference between
the attitude of this government and that of this
people toward Mexico must be unhesitatingly and
unequivocally disclaimed
The surprise and regret which he expressed at
the failure of various countries to recognize him
the constitutional President refer to the United
States but by no means to 1t alone BY his own
showing not one Of the major states of Latin Amer
lea has granted such recognition. Surely it is per-
finent for him to ask why this is. II would surely
seem 10 be because Of one Of two circumstances
Either those great states, to which, as he says
Mexico is united by ties OF blood, language AMI
customs. and no less by identical aspirations and
destinies." have been waiting upon the example of
tbe United States, or they have independently
reached the same conclusion that this country has
reached concerning his unwOrthness to receive rec
ignition The former suppositon would be highly
complimentary to this country. but we suspect that
the latter Is the true one.
For The rest, General Huerta's message appears

Short Army EnIistmentS.

Secretary Garrison is TO be commended for stick
ing TO his championship of short term enlistments
ip the army. 1t has been suggested to him that
he has been impeaching the judgment of the Mill
fary Affairs Committee of the House of Representa-
lives which og-rolled long term enlistment pro-
vision through the last Congress. But Mr.. Garrison
relies more on the lessons of experience than he
does on the priOri reasoning Of Chairman Hay and
cther old-fashoned rocking chair theorists.
The lengthening of the term of service to seven
years-four in active army and three In the reserve
has worked badly. Soldiers refusing to re-
enlist and the benefits of the training which the
army ought to offer being greatly circumscribed
The Secretary of War is not afraid to say that the
Democratic reOrganzers in the House made blum
der in lengthening the enlistment term and TO urge
return to sounder principles He believes that
three years should be the maximum Of enlistment
and that soldiers who master their duties In
shorter time should be at once transferred TO the
reserve list.
The more men trained in given time the better
of the country Will be In a military emergency.
The best work our small standing army can do is
10 serve as training school for young men. If it
can turn out graduates in two years instead OF
four years its efficiency means Of national
defence will be exactly doubled

THE APOSTLE OF ANARCHY
So this Reader Regards Mrs. Pank-
hurst, Urging That She Be Excluded.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II seems a pity that a paper repre-
sentlns the best element of American
citizenship. always on the side OF law and
order. should In the least degree attempt
TO defend such an undesirable person as
Mrs Pankhurst She Is n convicted Grim
inal. out through the mistaken leniency OF
the British government, but as literally a
criminal as though convicted OF murder.
Why should this apostle OF anarchy, OF
arson, ~ contempt for law, who has done
more 10 injure the suffrage movement
than any other living person, be allowed
10 enter our port?
II she had been kept in the English jail
and allowed 10 starve herself food being
provided. such an end would have been
considered a good thing by most OF our
wives. mothers and sisters, and the Eng
lish government would be held blameless.
\ good dog would be more desirable
citizen than such a creature.

II is foolish a wasteful, criminal system
which makes |city's prisons hothouses for breed

UNDER THE CANADIAN LAW
United Shoe Machinery Co. Says 1t
Has Promptly ODeyed All Rulings.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: ! dnd In The Tribune OF September
II statement given on the authority OF
the correspondent OF The Toronto Globe
that there Is a demand In Canada that
some action be taken by the United Shoe
Machinery Company OF Canada TO comply
with the findings OF the Board Of lnvestl-
CATION on October u.s. 1912
II IS hard 20 conceive how such a report
can have gained currency In Canadian
newspapers when a simple inquiry would
have disclosed the fact that the company
several months ago had taken the action
recommended. The period of six months
fixed by the board for compliance with its
recommendations expired on May IS. Be
fore May / tie company had notified It's
agents In Canada TO put out no more ma
chimes on the leases which the board crit
iclsed, and since that time no machines
have been supplied to shoe manutactur-
ers except on outright sale or else under
leases which have been drawn to meet
the objections Of the board.
Announcement OF this action by the
company was made IN the annual report
OF President Winslow, which was Issued
on May q and which was widely pub
lished at the time. In his report Presi-
dent Wlnslow referred to the Canadian
situation as follows:
ION October is, 1912, the board appointed
under the provisions of the combines IN
yestigaton act made 10 the Minister oil
Labor at Ottawa It's report Of an inVes-
tigation of the United Shoe Machinery
Company OF Canada. In general, the re-
port was in the highest degree common
datory OF the cCmpanys service and
methods.
THE company itself has never presented
more comprehensive catalogue OF the
reasons why II is To the advantage OF
shoe manufacturers to use its system OF
machines than that which the majority
OF the board presented In citing the fol-
lowing factors contributing TO Its success:
1.-THE control OF patent rights
1.-The quality Of the machines supplied.
THE fact that the company can supply
full set OF machines.
THE efficiency OF the service furnished
by the company In maintaining its ma
chimes in good order.
''The facility with which the lessee can
obtain repair parrs for hts machines.
THE maintenance OF corps of compei
tent roadmen at convenient places for the
Inspection and repair OF machines.
THE fact that the manufacturers are all
on the same footing as regards the roy
allies paid, the machines supplied and the
service rendered.
'"Tbo ability of the company to provide
the large amount of capital needed to
adopt and maintain the system of equip
ping factories with machines under lease.

MR.. M'ANENY'S FRIENDS
They Are Many, Thanks to His
Clearing Of the Sidewalks.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: disagree with your correspondent
who thinks that President McAneny Of
Manhattan Borough has made Ill friends
because OF his enforcement OF the or1i-
nances against street distractions. On the
contrary, Mr.. McAneny has made many
friends because OF his work In that d.
rection Streets are wider and more
beautiful, pedestrians find more comfort
on the sidewalks and the city Is more
healthful because the streets can be kept
cleaner with the unsightly stoops and
other distractions removed.

IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE
is TO BE DISCUSSED

Improved mail service from the
Head of the Lakes to Virginia will
be the subject of discussion at the
next meeting of the Virginia CONNER
cial club, and if the club is able to
carry through what appears to be a
very reasonable program Virginians
will be able to get their mail from
Chicago and eastern points several
hours earlier than at present. The
Chisago and eastern mail for this
section of the range now reaches Du-
luth about $3.50 o'clock in the morning
over the Northwestern. line. It is not
forwarded to this city until $3.50 in
the afternoon, arriving here in the
early evening. The Canadian North
ern has train leaving the Northwest
ern depot a short time after the ar
rival of the Northwestern's train from
the east and if the Virginia mail could
be forwarded on this train it would
reach this city about o'clock and
many letters received on it could be
answered and posted in time to leave
the city on the evening train on the
Missabe. It would also be consider
able lift to the local postoffice and
would mean that the hours of the
majority of the postoffice employees
could be considerably shortened.

Laitala set up in defense that his

her, but had declined to send money
to her to be used in speculation.

be at home until July 25 when it goes

first two games ct Grand Forks by
close scores. Stewart joined the team
at Superior yesterday. He has been
out for some time, is better than a
800 hitter and will go to his old place
at second base which has been filled
by Collins while the latter will go to
the outfield. While the team is still
losing it is playing good baseball, but
is losing the breaks and does not
seem to strike q consistent winning
stride. Baseball interest is still pro-

In another quarter there is some

is the proper place to esta blish the
precedent that there is a consider
able element in the city who dis
countenance affairs of the sort.
Developments are being closely
watched and if the campaign does
not progress to their satisfaction
there may be some overnight en-
tries.

the week. The Messrs. Irwin,
