taken I'm his dealings with Mexico. al

said Yesterday to us that the Huerta gov

likely. / think that any government in
Mexico that does not receive the moral

great length Of time. and ] doubt whether
any government in Mexico constituted by

II do not see any escape from chaos

which we are now pursuing. OF course,
II that runs on very long II means war.

i'm Introducing this bill on the first day Of

second day OF the session and calling il
I'D for consideration in the third day OF
The session.
THAT haste, IL seems to me. is justified
by the theory of the administration. am
aware that this bill is not an original
measure In this Congress, that bill like
& has been introduced heretofore. This
bill follows the message of the President
of the United States delivered yesterday"
"Watchful waiting" the words used by
President Wilson in setting forth the
status of the Mexican situation In his
message to Congress, bids fair to become
"A slogan and watchword in Washing
ton. II seems apparent to observers that
this policy will surely mean a period OF
rest in the Mexican situation as far as
Washington is concerned. unless UNI
toward happenings occur in Mexico which
force American action. as 1t Is quite GER
tain that the solution of the Huerta
problem lies in the ability of the rebels
TO drive the obstinate dictator out Of,
office.
Every one in Washington Is becoming
pretty thoroughly convinced that Huer-
ta's finish is getting to be a matter OF less
than months. probably only of weeks.
The rebel forces have shown undeniable
and somewhat unexpected strength.
\ disturbing feature of the days news
for the administration is that there has
been d break between General Villa, the
victor OF Juarez, and General Carranza,
the leader of all Constitutionalists. The
report lacks official confirmation, but 1t is
logical enough to justify some belief It
is certainly possible that the two leaders
have disagreed as in previous revolutions
in Mexico such things occurred with u
considerable degree Of regularity.

Sterilization.

Editor Capital Journal:
1t is proposed to sterilize the habit
ual criminal. All of them? Well,
Hardly, There is Morgan and John d.
been doing things lawless for 25 years.
Then in almost all legislatures Is a
bargain counter at which votes and in
fuence is for sale to the corporations
and interested parties. Is 1t proposed
to sterilize these statesmen? Then
there Is the crooked policeman, city
official, politician, congressman, etc,
will all these be looked after? Oh, no
It is only intended for the poor devil
who has no friends.
But when does he become an habit
ual criminal? When he has stolen q
chicken, a piece Of cheese, a loaf OF
bread and some turnips. That is four
thofts, and Of course is habitual Grim
inality. But he has done what all our
ancestors did at one time, and out OF
which condition all our so-called civ
ilizatlon has come.
Sterilization is based In an entirely
wrong conception of human life and
progress. Some self-righteous faddists
urge It, and the uniformed statesman
grabs 1t up to help on his reputation
for zeal in the cause Of humanity. II

grounds that it throws no burden
whatever on the railroad company or
its officials, but throws the entire
burden upon the station agent. He al
SO argued that the station agent could
only mark up such trains as was fur
nlshed him by the dispatcher
Upton, of Multnomah, leader of the
organization, also started off this de-
bate with some honeyed words about
its great merit, and the fact that the
special committee on vetoed bills was
not influenced by any Interior or po-
litical motive in recommending the
passage Of bills over the governors
veto. Therefore, would not the house
consider this bill irrespective Of poll
tics and Independent Of its manner Of
having come before that body? 1t was
nice line of talk, and had a noble
sound.
Hagood took umbrage at what he
called yelled reference by Upton
that the governor had no right to veto
bills, and called attention to the fact
that his power was conferred by the
constitution, and further that 1t was
intended to head off wild horse legis-
lation., ,
Reames, of Jackson, with straight
face, contended that there was no pro-
vision in the bill that the train infor-
nation to be chalked up must be re-
liable. He argued that on information
given him by some stable boy or cab
driver the station agent might mark
up train wrongly. He also waxed
sarcastic over the special committees
careful and fair consideration of We
toed bills.
His stable boy argument called
down on Reames a hot fire from other
debaters. But the hottest shot of all
came from his Jackson county col
league, Carkin, of Medford, a Repub-
lican.
81 desire to come to my colleagues

under which he labors are very pecu-
liar. He is a member of firm of rail-
road attorneys in our city. Then
there is his friendship for Governor
West. But worse yet, the Democrat
] ic boss down our way wants this bill
passed"
Carkin referred to George Putnam,
editor Of the Medford Mail-Tribune,
when he mentioned Democratic
/ Boss"
The house, on recommendation of
the special committee, sustained the
governors veto on the bill that made
it unlawful for any state official or de-
partment to create deficiency
The committee also recommended
that the governors vetoes be sus-
stained on the bills relating to the
manner of serving summons, and pro-
viding that suit can be brought
against corporation wherever it has
an agent or representative, and the
house was about to sustain the recon-
mendation, when Eaton, of Lane,
called halt, and reminded Upton that
he had been promised a hearing on
these bills before the committee. Up
ton then withdrew the bills in order
to give Eaton hearing later.
