HELPING THE MEAT SUP

Uncle Sam is helping to increase
ne meat supply of the nation.
The encouraging news is being
Spread broadcast that the Federal
Government is permitting public
ands, and especially the public for
csts, to be used in such way as
will increase the number of food
snimals.
The decrease in the number of
,nimals available for food in recent
,ears, while the meat-eating popu-
alton has been steadily growing,
has been largely responsible for the
constant higher trend of meat prices.
No other single increase in the cost
Of living has been the source of so
much complaint.
Figures showing the number of
i've stock for which the Secretary of
Agriculture has authorized grazing
permits, for the ranges on the 160
national forests, during the year
1914 have just been made public.
Nearly 100000 animals can ye
grazed, including nearly 100000
head Of cattle and horses, 100000
head Of sheep and goats, and about
$1,000 hogs. This means an increase
for the current year of about $4,000
cattle and horses, and 347,O00 sheep
and goats, although the gross area
Of tbe national forest at the begin
ming of 1914 was almost 1000, 900
acres less than at the beginning of
1913. During 1918, according to re-
ports recently compiled, more than
$1,000 stockmen paid the Govern
ment for grazing permits on the
national domain.
While the number of all animals
authorized to Craze in the southern
Appalachian forests is not so large,

=. UTTING THE PRINTING
BILL.

Another of the semi-occaslolIal
e, ltations about reducing the Gov
el nment's printing bill is going on.
BIT is said that vastly too much mat
te is printed, and it is proposed to
ci tail the "leave to print" privilege
ol members of Congress in the Rec
d, TO print fewer copies of the
Congressional Directory, and TO shut
off the easy privilege of making a
" 'ub. Doc" out of almost anything
that happens to strike the fancy of
member.
At the risk of getting on the pre-
sumably unpopular side, we don't
fa gree. The most valuable material
appearing in the Congressional Rec
ord consists very largely of remarks
tended without being actually ut
tered. Compilations of material,
c tentimes prepared at great eNpen-
diture of expert effort, are in this
way placed in the Record and avail
able for people who need to use
them. There is no repository of
Tally useful information that COM
ares to the Congressional Record,
and the cheap humor everlastingly
poked at that document by people
who never take the trouble to know
what it contains will not convince
serious people of the desirability of
serious restrictions. 1t would be a
good deal better to print more Rec
ords, and get the people really to
read them. than to print fewer and
less detailed reports of what Con-
Eress is doing.
The privilege of making public
Cocuments of all kinds is closely re-
lated to that of including unspoken
remarks in the Record. This is not
the generation in which to start
muzzling the printing press. Of
course, a lot of useless matter is
printed at the Government Printing
Office. So it is at every other print
i house. There are books without
end, and millions of them stand on
shelves till they wear out unopened
and unread. But that is no argu-
ment for ceasing to print books.
Public documents contain. for the
Use and the easy access of the stu
lent of affairs, vast storehousc of

to establish, in any Committee on

or that may get into documentary
orm. Almost invariably the objec-
rpn to printing particular things is
uased on antagonism to the class Of
lateral proposed to be put into
documents. Supprcssing and CEN

ment's printing establishment would

academic freedom in institutions of
higher learning. The public con-
cience would very soon revolt
against it.

THE FALL OF TAMPICO.

Torreon was accounted the begin
ming of the end for Huerta's rule.
The fall of that city demonstrated
that there was no hope for the die
tator much longer to hold out, be-
cause his cause was losing ground
while that of his enemies was con-
stantly gaining. Confidence is quite
as important as any other element
in developing situation such as that
in Mexico. Torreon gave the world
the final conviction that Villa was a
great soldier, and that Huerta had
no general to match him. At the
same time, it proved that Huerta's
forces are not animated by senti-
ments of devotion to a cause, as are
those under Villa. No matter what
may be the merits of either cause,
the constitutionalists have at least
an important section of their people
sincerely enlisted in the revolution;
Huerta has such support as he can
coerce into his ranks, and that is
just about all.
Vera Cruz is in the hands of an
American force, and now Tampico,
the second port of the country, des-
tined in the coming years to be the
first, is taken by the rebels. The
way is pretty completely cleared for
an advance on Mexico City itself,
and Mexico City, in the experience
of other Mexican revolutions, has not
been accustomed to await the ham
mering of hostiies at her doors. The
city is more likely to take affairs in
its own hands, and to fall away from
Huerta, as it did from Diaz, and
compel the dictator to flee for his
life. Mexico City has little taste
for hand-to-hand fighting in its
streets.
Huerta is as defiant as ever, and
continues to protest that he will
never resign. That seems altogether
probable, but his resignation is not
now especially important. If he
should resign, and if some other man
could be found willing to take up the
reins in his place, it is even possible
that a new lease of life might be
given to the cientifico cause But if
Huerta is killed or captured or runs
away, and the organization around
him collapses, it will quite likely fa
cilitate the reorganization of the
country. The constitutionalists are
determined that they will not yield, if
they can possibly avoid it, to any
effort of the powers, the United
States, or the mediators, to establish
an ad interim government. They
want nothing so much as to be let
alone until they have brought them
selves, by force of arms, into COM
plete physical possession of the seat
and the symbols of government.
With these, they will be ready to set
up their own scheme of control pend
ing an election and return to the
formalitics of constitutional proce-
Cure.
In all the circumstances, it is hard
to believe that any possible useful
results can come from mediation. It
has not stopped bloodshed at Tam
pico; it is not likely TO prevent the
campaign being pressed directly to
Mexico City. It's only possible sig
nificant results would be cmbarrass-
ment and complication of the situa-
ton ensuing when Carranza shall
have forced himself into supreme
power. Everything which the gen
eral public knows about the situation
leads to the belief that, when that
times comes, better terms and under
standings can be reached by discus

ton Government and the constitu-
