MIST BACK WATER.

Huerta is now the self-constituted
dictator of Mexico. The arrest of the
members of congress and the dissolu-
ton OF that body was the first open
step 10 this end. Huerta disclares
himself TO be the supreme power in
Mexican affairs. but that he will be
accountable TO the congress TO be
elected oct. &c.
The situation has increased the diff
hculties of the United States govern
ment in its friendly efforts to restore
peace in Mexico. but has placed it in
no such embarrassing position as
that in which Great Britain and Ger
many find themselves owing to the
haste with which they recognized the
Huerta government. These powers
are now exposed 10 tie humiIiating
necessity of reconsidering their action
and withdrawing their recognition.
it was at the instance Of CONNER
cial interests that recognition was
given Huerta as the lawfui president
OF the Mexican republic by Great
Britain and Germany. These powers
now see that they made mistake in
not Following the example OF the
United States in Withholding recogni-
tion and cooperating with this govern
ment 10 restore peace in Mexico on
the basis OF popular approval. They
must now retrace their steps and con-
fess their error.
Their action not only embarrassed
and obstructed this government in its
peace plans but gave encouragement
10 Huerta which has resulted in the
dictatorship. In a sense they have
violated the Monroe doctrine and
brought confusion upon themselves
which may teach them more respect
for the principle involved in that doc
trine.

appears TO have been an erroneous
idea.
The recent experience at the city
hall with a diphtheria case empha-
sized the necessity for immediate pre-
cautions against future experiences OF
the same kind. A contagious disease
cared for at police headquarters in
the season when tramps are provided
with lodgings for the night would he
quickly spread.
1t should be possible for contagious
diseases to be Immediately isolated,
where quarantine is not possible or
Advisable, and as the season when
such diseases most commonly prevail
is approaching needless delay will be
inexcusable. The city board of health
should have every facility for making
patients comfortable and for prevent
ing the spread of cOntagion.
The keeping Of the schools in con-
tinuOus operation and the protection
OF the public from epidemics of all
kinds are vastly more important to the
community than a matter of the few
thousand dollars necessary to prop
erly equip the city to fight contagious
diseases

TIE HUMAN ELEMENT.

With the exception Of the passen-
gers and members of the crew killed
by the explosion there need not have
been a life lost by the burning OF the
Volturno but for that element of hui
man nature, the instinct of self-pres-
ervation. Uncontrolled this instinct
precipitates panic.
Some Of the men of the passengers
and crew seized and lowered a num-
Der Of life boats and all were drown
ed. Had they needed the warnings
and commands of the officers all would
have been saved. The calls sent out
by wireless brought help from wide
radius. Vessels came with their
crews and boats TO aid in the rescue
and oil ships to subdue the waves in
order that the small boats might safe
~ ply between the burning ship and
the rescuing fleet.
Can imagination picture more
spectacular scene than that presented
in midocean by the doomed vessel and
those that had responded TO its signal
of distress? As the night wore on the
sky were Illuminated as if for a festal
occasion. This effect was heightened
by the rescue ships, glittering with
electric lights and cruising about as
close as possible to the VOlturnO. But
far from being fete it was one of
the tragedies of ocean travel which
occasionally shock the world.
And all a result of human negli-
gence and human fear. The cause of
the explosion has not been given, but
presumably it could have been pre-
vented by proper precautions. Some
body was careless in loading the vessel
and the inevitable result followed.
Many precautions must be taken
against the elements but most against
mankind itself
Ocean disasters, railroad wrecks,
motor car and aeroplane accidents are
due largely if not almost entirely to
the failure of the human element, and
this in its turn is due toslack of eff1-

and progress OF the age. but every

The world is sadly in need Of the
sort Of training that Will make men

his honor to reckon with. Would
he not feel that he had compromised

CONTINUED from Tuesday,

Resale lie Grange and every one
else most vitality concerned in the
Wade-H anska case had considered ii
best that she, the tOO-romantic hero
Inc OF these events, should be in hid
ing when Lawrence Wade came out
or the TOmbs. a free man. One must
consider the newspapers-always the
newspapers, with their photograph
ers, their special writer's. their insist
ence on the human interest" fea-
lures of this celebrated case. So even
before Capt. MCGEE flashed to the
headquarters reporters that Marga-
rita Perez. detained in the criminal
ward at Bellevue hospital, was the
solvent of the Hanska case, Resale
removed her secretly to this friendly
country place near Arden. Days fol-
lowed in which the reporters tracked
Lawrence Wade at all hours in order
to discover him in the act of meeting
Constance. In that period, he scarce
ly dared write. lest the address on an
envelope might betray her where
abouts. Now, in the general march
of events, the interest in the Hanska
case had become dulled. And today
IN this very hour, he was coming
with what message on his lips?
In the distance sounded the whistle
of locomotive; a column of white
smoke rose above the bare trees.
She glanced at the watch on her
wrist. This was his train. In five
minutes he would emerge TO view
from behind that clump of trees. In
five minutes, she would know.
Or would she? The hopes the
fears, the sick fancies Of a weeks
waiting whirled in her mind. She
leaned against one Of the pillars for
support, while she went over every
thing again.
She knew her heart now-igrevo-
cably. But he? From the moment
when the tragedy came. he had said
no word, no single little word. which
meant love. In their visiting through
the bars Of the Tombs, he had done
everything TO keep up her spirits. He
had been incredibly gay, unbelievably

\ SOLID REASON.

A noted Sunday school worker. liv-

to the children OF a Sunday school on
the subject of temperance. He is
very earnest in the cause and wears
a bit of blue ribbon as a badge of his
principles. Rising before the school,
he pointed To his bit of blue ribbon
and said, Now, can any one of you

Mother Goose!


Every one, almost, has heard of
her and nearly every boy and girl
knows many of her rhymes.
But how many know that her real
name was Mary Goose and that she
lived a long, long time ago in the
heart of the business district of his
toric old Boston?
Mary Goose was a dear old lady.
very devoted to her grandchildren.
She used to Groom to them certain
little ditties of her own composing
like This little pig went to market"
and other well known rhymes about
some COW jumping over the moon.
Her sOn-in-law, Thomas Fleet,
publisher in Boston in 1715, did not
like his mOther-in-law to sing these
songs and tell these stories in rhyme
to her grandchildren. lie wanted to
he quiet in the evening. Because he
didn't like it very well, ne nicknamed
his old mOther-in-law Mother
Goose"
That's how the name originated.
Because he disliked her. and not
because he admired her rhymes, he
made up his mind to publish them
and call them Mother Goose Melo-
dies"
And. 10 and behold, the old lady
became famous
People liked the rhymes and be-
gan telling them to their children
and grandchildren. Then Mother
Goose grew much more important in
the eyes of the world than her son
in-law.
Every year she told more rhymes,
and every year more girls and boys
heard them. Now the whole world
knows of Mother GoosS and her
rhymes.

Close on the other side of the grave

The old sexton says that there isn't

is visited 'more by the thousands Of
sightseers who come to the burying
ground than the grave of Mother
Goose.

and have learned to love the Mother

full of flowers there on a Saturday
afternoon to lay over the heart Of
