Letters have been continually pour
ing in at the office Of the United
States district attorney in regard to
| the Epworth League endowment
From all of the letters received. it
| is believed that few of the leagues in
| the state responded to the demand of
Dennick and Richards for the fund.
Two leagues, Cherryvale and Tribune,
| sent in small checks. The remainder
have sent word to Mr.. Robertson, dis
trict attorney. that they paid little at

| Judge Nelson Case of Oswego, pres
ident of the board of trustees for Ba-
ker university, has written the attor-
neys about the matter. He declares
that he had never heard Of the two
defendants and that his first intima-
ton of the Endowment fund was the
| arrest of Richards and Dennick early
this month by federal officers. He
had no idea of the purposes of the
fund, he declares, and the endowment
was not sanctioned by the officials of
the university.
Immediately after the disclosure Of
the alleged fraud. Dean Markham of
Baker. secretary of the Baker endoW-
ment, wrote to all presidents of Ep-
worth leagues in the state. He warn
ed them not to send money to Ottawa

The Topeka league received one of
the circular letters but believed it to
be fraud and did not reply.
| Garden City received one Of the
many hundred alleged to have been
sent out. but the wording of the cir
cular did not appeal to the league
president and no money was sent.
Cherryvale league sent a money or

We ought to cultivate their good will as . preliminary to increased trade when the canal quickens our foreign commerce. The South American coun- tries refuse us as protectors or dicta- tors of their foreign policies but are more than willing to accept Us as leaders. The strong nations of South American stand in no need of protec- ton and 1t seems that the time has now arrived for a new policy to cup- plant that enumerated by President Monroe.
 Such a plan was suggested by Prof L. s. Rowe who was 8 delegate to the American conference at Rio dc Janeiro conference, who said "The rapid development of the leading countries of Latin America. especially of the Argentina, Chile. Brasil and Peru has prepared the way for the development of an American concert similar in many respects to the Eu- ropean concert" This suggestion Is he,ne amplified and certainly Is going to be the new policy which is to dom- inate the future relations of the re- bubbles of this continent.

 In dealing with Huerta, Carranxa and Villa Mr. Wilson is dealing with three men who long ago threw off any sort of allegiance to law or deference to honor.

General Huerta accepts in principle the offer of mediation"
 Swiftly upon this grudging and eva. sive word from the Mexican dictator Washington abates whatever of war like energy 1t has manifested. The only movement of troops ordered vas. characteristically enough the dispatch of six troops of cavalry to protect John D. Rockefeilers Colorado mines from strikers. So far as Mexico was con- csrned all military preparation was halted.
 What Huerta Is doing meantime be- hind the impenetrable screen he has drawn before his lines can only be guessed. Nothing in his past record justiies the assumption that he is go- ing to submit to the personal degra- dation and affront which the Wilson method of mediation has in store for h,m.
 He can very well accept the prin- ciple of Tnediation without adopting the practice of suicide. A little delay. such as his seeming acquiescence in the A. B. c. proposal secures for him will be of incalcuable worth in flllins his shattered rangs by stimulated en- thusiasn and enforced conscriptlon. in swelling his war chest by new levios on tho property interests of his country. and in making the road up which the American army must march to Mexico City more difficult with bridges destroyed and hanklng forti- factions.
 The principle of mediation does not interfere with these warlike practices. and when his preparations for war are completed Huerta can disavow the convenient principle as cheerfulIy az he now accepts 1t
 Obviously. no mediation that does not include Carranxa and Villa can be of value and effect. One of these chiefs will be the natural successor of Huerta should he be driven out.
 AS they arc notoriously more wanton bloodetters than Huerta with e rec ord of outrage and violence in their treatment of American citizens that makes Huerta seem almoHt respecta- bie. the eagerness of the Administration to take them to its bosom is the .eus understandable.
 But whether the end of mediation shall be installation of Husrta, Car ransa or Villa in power the other two will continue in revolt, and the need of the strong arm of the United States to put down anarchy will be as posi- tive then as 1t is now and was . year ago.
