DISCRETION WITH MEXICO.
The Wise Patience shown by Two Adj
ministratiOns.

Qrom the New Haven journal CourierD
President Taft handled the Mexican sit
uation with rare discretion, and unmoved
by appeals for Intervention from Ameri-
can jingoes, who moved by mere money ed
interests had no scruplcs about bringing
this country into a long and bloody war
in which American moneyed interests in
Mexico would suffer first of all and far
more than ever. Moreover it is evident
that from some American source money
and arms are being obtained by the revo-
lutionists despite the utmost efforts of our
government to prevent 1t.
It looks as If President Wilson can he
depended upon to also exercise discretion
and wise judgment in this troublesome
matter despite the outCries of unscrupu-
lous interested parties whose motives are
open to suspicion. The situation is com
picated owing to the real distress of
many worthy American citizens, resident
in Mexico, whose lives and property are
endangered by the anarchistic situation
there prevailing. This country has 25, 600
soldiers on the Mexican frontier and a
heavy naval force in Mexican ports, a
warning to Mexico that protection to the
lives and property of foreign residents Is
imperatively required. There are about
4O.o0 American citizons IN that country,
and greatly do most Of them desire peace
and tranquility for that unhappy country
and the assurance of their own safety.
This country has enough grave po-
litiCal situations of its own to settle
within our own borders, The coming cleo
lions in Mexico may have salutary re-
suit in bringing order out of confusion
there Recognition will come in due time.
In the meantime, hands off from Mexico.

WAR STILL HELL.
Hut Despite Balkan SnvaGery the World
Movement for Peace Is Growing.
From the INDIANAPOLIS Newsl

(frOm the indianapolis News
With the progress toward unifcation
of the nations in an endeavor to adopt
new habits or methods of procedure which
Will help toward world peace or, at least,
render chances of war more remote and
difficult we are having reports from the
Balkans Of what war means. The I'M
spcakable atrocities which the Bulgarians
are reported to have perpetrated need
not be received as Bulgarian alone They
have been equaled by the Turks, who are
getting ready for war again. And It
would not require much knowledge of
the world to infer that other Balkan
nations are not far behind. Nor would
any sophisticated sense conlne the as
sumption to the nations of the Balkans
Things as atrocious have happened in
our Indian wars repoatedly-and not all
of them done by the Indians In Mexico
to-day similar things are happening. The
simple truth Is that war is hell" When
tho varnish of civilization is rubbed off
by conditions which call on human beings
to play the beast ana 90 forth, tooth and
claw, against their kind, there Is a GER
tainty that in the due course of a stub
born conflict humanity becomes worn thin
and the beast protrudos; that things like
those happening IL the Balkans and in
Mexico are likely to happen with any
people, anywhere.
War means a subverslon Of all that
progress has taught to humanity and n
rcvcrsion to the primitive animalism

good luck to him. and he walked into
his office at the City Hall wearing a
smile like unto the one worn by the
gentleman in the moon.
why shouldn't l smile?' he asked,
when questioned about the cause of
his ultra pleasant disposition. Then
he answered the question: THAT TO-
100000 gallon pump at the river is
working to-day, the first time since
last April If you had had the same
bunch of trouble lifted from you that
I've had lifted from me, you'd be

The big 10000 900 gallon pump not
only got out of order in April, but 1t
