things just the way they are. He isn't
ashamed to have green grass and blue
sky in his landscapes, and his sheep
actually look like sheep, and when it
comes to the female form divine, he'll
make curves when he could just as
well do them in straight lines and an
giles. Then he uses either brushes or
palette knife to apply his paint, in
stead of a plasterer's trowel, and the
worst thing of all is that he sells his
pictures for real money and quite lot
of it. Just to look at the man you'd
know him for the panderer to a de-
based taste that he is. He might be
a stockbroker or banker for all the
distinction there is in his dress. AS

THE BANKING L

The present prospect is for the post
ponement Of banking legislation until
winter. and some of the Washington
dispatches say that the situation is re-
garded as a test of the presidents
leadership. Mr.. Wilson urged on con-
gress the immediate consideration of
banking legislation, and he has sue
ceeded in having that subject taken up
and given serious consideration dur
ing the summer. If his opinions as
to the importance Of the immediate
passage Of a bill have undergone no
change he will probably be heard from
on the subject again. 1t would not
be strange, however, If he were will
ing that action should be deferred I'M
til the winter session, in view Of the
development in connection with the
present bill. It can be taken for
granted that no ane man wished for
the passage of a banking bill which
will injure the country. Differences
Of opinion as to the result of the pro-
posed bill are due to differences Of
opinion as to just what the interests
OF the country demand. 1t is not
an easy matter to compose these diff
%ferences. and their adjustment re-
quires some time. Perhaps there has
not yet been sufficient time for the
proper investigation Of all the impor-
tant features Of this bill. If not the
president is unlikely to insist on hav-
ing the bill forced through at this
time,

He walked out and slammed the
door in a way thai threatened TO
bring the roof down about Juliet's
ears. She went into her bedroom and
hung her parcels down upon the white
counterpane. Her eyes were full Of
tears. her throat full Of sobs. She
knelt down beside the bed. covered
her face with her hands and cried like

THE MEXICAN POLICY.

In explanation Of President Wilson's
attitude toward General Huerta the
Springfield Republican (Ind.) says:
This administrations Mexican pol
icy in its beginnings was undoubtedly
shaped in no slight degree by the cir
cumstances attending the rise of Gen.
eral Huerta to power. The statement
of his general policy toward Latin
America. published by President Will
son within a fortnight after he assum-
ed Office. reflected his adherence of
. the triple assassinations-of Francis
co Madero, Gustavo Madero, and Pine
Suarez, the highest officials in the Ma
dero government-which constituted
the first acts Of the Huerta regime.
1t was clearly intimated at that time
that President Wilson would not give
full recognition to a government
founded on violence. unless it were
clearly established that the military
dictatorship had become, in one way
or another. the real choice Of the Mex
can people. Nothing has happened
since February to demonstrate that,
from the presidents point Of view,
Huerta should be recognized as the
constitutional president Of Mexico. For
civil war has continued, and, while
the Huerta government has undoubt-
eddy had the support Of the conserva-
tive and wealthy classes, it's chief
claim to respect has been based main
~ on its possibilities in the pacifca-
ton Of the country by iron-handed
methods Of military repression.
Still deeper. doubtless, in the pres
ident's mind has been the thought that
General Huerta has stood for abso-
1utist reaction as against all the dem
ocratic. aspirations which were m
bodied in the Madero revolution, but
which President Madero himself was
very far from realizing in his brief
term Of power. In trying to under
stand the Wilson policy, we have to
consider this point. For it might plav
a part in American politics, in case
the Mexican question became a foot.
ball Of partizan controversy. The SYM
pathies Of democratic America, with
Out regard to party lines, were mainly
with the Madero revolutionists."
