Comments Page.

Little Rock, June 9.-W. H. Mar shall of Joplin, secretary of the Southwest Missouri Millers' club, has written Commissioner Page commend ing him for his order excluding ground rice hulls and ground corn cObs from the manufacture of feeding stuffs. These materials, used as a cheap adulteration, are not only non- nutritious but are harmuful. The rice hulls especially are deleterious when fed to stock, as it cannot be ground so fine that it does not have sharp corners that cut the lining of the stomach.

He Is Right

a president whose hold on public confidence
was less than Wilson'S could not have sustained
himself long with policy Of patient wait
ling in relation to case aggravating as
MeXicos
The expected in that republic the downfall of
Huerta, has been delayed unconsciously while
murder and rapine have had their way. But it
was impossible to recognize Huerta last March
and IL is impossible recognize him now for the
best Of reasons. He reached called control
and established such rule s he has enjoyed by
ltreachery and murder and those means of po-
Itlcal advancement must not receive the approval
of the government at Washington or the people
of this great country.
This country can begin the work Of restoring
order in distracted Mexico only by recognizing
some leader in Mexico or by setting up ruler as
Macmillan was set up. Not leader of the
score of generals either side is worthy OF
the support OF the United States
To minds 1t necessary to lin
tervene'' If recognition" IS out OF the question
but the presidents mind does not incline that
way. 1t may be that being shot, and
that other horrible things taking place In
Prevention means that the inevitable war would
be costly. and that the lives of American citi-
Gems would be sacrificed. Let the sacrificiai
blood be Mexican rather than American
1t takes courage as well patience wait,
but the president Is not lacking in it, and he is
right in his policy.-Charlottesvle News
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1914-01-07
Lacking Supp0rt,

The Chinese government has let II be known
to Americans in Pekin that 1t regrets that
Americans not bidding for share of the
railroad contracts. and for concessions which
ae being distributed in the scheme for de-
veioping the republic. English, German and
French capitalists and contractors have been
busy in China for long time seeking conces
sons and contracts. but Americans have not been
heard from.
For years foreign capital has made n business
of seeking remote. but profitable, fields II has
exploited in all directions~~and has had the
backing of the government of the country from
which it came. Occasionally this backing has
failed, witness the British investigation Of
the Putumayo rubber troubles, but in the main
the various governments have steed squareiy
back of their capitalists matter where the
latter went with their money.
The idea of President Taft and his immediate
predecessors to encourage in this way for
eign enterprise by Americans. but the Wilson
idea as voiced by Secretary Bryan. has been
opposed to that plan--that is if Americans took
the hazard of foreign investment for protection
In time of trouble.-Buffalo Express.
