SAD SIGHTS IN MEXICO.

saw beggers everywhere in Mexico,
many Of them ranged alongside the
church soliciting aims from worshipers
or from passerby. l saw the signs OF
ignorance and general depravity. I saw
wounded men and suffering women. But
the worst thing that I saw In Mexico
was a little six-year-old boy, badly Grip
pied, who was compelled to walk on his
hands as well as his feet. because his
legs weren't strong enough to support
even his frail little body. He looked
like toad. but his face was gentle and
sad. He had big black eyes that seemed
TO search ones soul. Occasionally he
would stop as he crawled along the
street. and look at his torn fingers and
hands-the streets were made of gritty
little stones that cut his flesh. II only
somebody had provided him with gloves,
But this was Mexico. Nobody seemed
concerned about this little fellow. He
wasn't begger. He made no appeal
for money. He was just little boy who
needed friendship. But of such is the
kingdom of heaven."-Christian Herald.

Congress Taking Long Chances.

Senator Kern's proposed 'gentlemens agreement"

be impossible of fulhllment. Then, after White

date and within week there are intmations in high
places that adjournment must be deferred to July

Indications point clearly to the conclusion that If
Congress abandons the Presidents special business
legislation for this session it may get through COM
fortably by about the middle of July. Otherwise, it
will be in session far into August if longer and
there will even then be serious danger that lot
of imperfect illconsidered legislation will be infict
ed on the country that is greatly in need of rest
Besides, reports from many sections tell of Demo-
cratic seats in the House in danger and every week
that Congress remains in session gives the Repub-
icans that much more of start in the race and they
are not losing sight of their advantage

PSYCHOLOGY OF THE TANGO.

So irresistible Is the allurement OF the
tango TO at least a very large proportion
of the fashionable women in Paris that
they are not content with the opportuni-
ties for dancing provided privately in
the circles In which they move; they must
needs become regular attendants at those
public places, SO numerous in Paris.
where. for an admission fee. anybody
and everybody can dance, picking up
their partners at hszard-the luck or I'M
lucky hazard Of the moment-just as We
used to do In the old days Of the Moulin
Rouge.
There is a spice of adventure in that
form of proceeding with appeals. fancy,
to the femme du monde quite as strongly
as the sensuous pleasure of the dance.
The acquaintanceships thus made by the
way are responsible for providing the
clubs and salons with a big crop Of
major and minor scandals, the echoes
of which. in some cases, will be heard
In the divorce court.
One good story is going the rounds.
Its heroine is one of the leaders Of
high cosmopolitan society. She was in
the habit of going more or less regu-
larly to one of the best Of the public
dancing places, and one afternoon picked
up a particularly attractive partner. a
handsome man. with good manners, who
tangoed divinely.
The lady was charmed. The man
showed a sufficient discreet and a suf-
ficently adventurous devotion rem
devious was made for the morrow. That
night the lady dined out. and the domes-
tic in gorgeous livery who took her cloak
was the partner of the afternoon. /
dare not say which dancing place it was
lest all the good-looking footmen in Paris
should flock there in search Of "bonne
fortune"
The best place to see the tango danced
Is at one of those balls which are al
ways being given at one or other of
the big hotels in the Champs Elysees
quarters. The functions are got up by
the hotel managers. and the guests are
invited to bring their friends. The bulk
Of those who attend are American, Latin
Americans predominating. but there is a
good sprinkling Of French and English.
The keenest among the Anglo-Saxons and
the French bring their professors with
them and make a serious lesson of the
affair. Between the dances the floor Is
covered with instruction classes for per-
fecting one or other of the very num-
erous steps which go to make up the
tango. Professors Of the tango. it should
be said, nave sprung up like mushrooms
in Paris, and their name is legion.-Lon-

President Wilson's Patriotism.

Every American should read the address of Presi.
dent Wilson at the unwilling of the Barry statue
yesterday. A great many will be better Americans
if they give it careful study. The address ought to
and probably will take place the best and clear
est definition in American literature of genuine pa
triotism First of all it should be printed in the
school books that the principles it proclams may be
learned early by those who later in life must be
depended upon to maintain the nations honor and
traditions.
The Presidents assertion of the simple truth that
patriotism is not sentiment" rather startled his
hearers because expression of patriotic sentiment in
words is fashionable and popular, and easy. But
from that beginning the President read lesson that
none should fail to learn by heart Admitting that
there is "a certain eferescence which, / suppose
ought to be permitted those who allow their hearts
to speak the celebration of the glory and majesty
of their country" he told the people what it is good
for them to hear from high source, that real
patriotism deeds and action and national
life, guided by justice and honor. no matter what
form its outward expression may take
The President made no reference to the man
who expresses his patriotism by proclaiming that
we can overcome the world by force of arms and
therefore justified in taking what we want or
doing please without considering the rights of
any other people; but he surely had been thinking
of him.
The Presidents reference in general way to the
policies which his administration has so steadfastly
pursued unmistakable He seemed to set forth
almost its whole creed when he said:
1--WE ought to be devoted to the purpose of en-
ablng America to live her life to be the ustest
the most progressive, the most honorable the most
enlightened nation in the world. l should be
ashamed of myself if / went away from this place
without realizing again that every bit of seshness
must be purged from policy that every bit of self
seeking must be purged from individual con-
sciences"
Obviously directing his remarks more particularly
to foreign relations, reasonable to suppose
that the President was inspired with desire to
make clearer his motives and aims with reference
to Mexico and the canal tolls controversy.
In some respects it President Wilson's most
notable utterance since his Inauguration and by many
il will be so regarded.

CONCERT OF AMERICAN POWERS
sugge.ted by DR.. Theodore s. Wool
sey in 1909.

The public has had to bear a good deal
Of rather unseemly and certainly futile
disputing over the question who is en-
titled to the honor of first suggesting
joint action in Mexico by the larger
American nations.
Without entering into the debate about
priority, We may recall a significant ar
ticie by Prof Theodore S. Woolsey. Of
Yale, which appeared in Scribner's maya
zine in March, 1893. This was at least
an early grasping and statement by
an authority on international law of the
possibilities for peace and better govern
ment which lay in common action by the
stronger and more stable American re-
publics. Prof. Woolsey suggestively gave
his article the caption: AN America.
concert of the powers" The reference
TO the European concert was obvious.
His main point was that good will and
cooperation of this continent might do
much to check revolutions and repudia-
ton Of national obligations: and even
help in bringing the weaker and more
frequently disturbed nations forward
along the road of orderly government.
The plan was. in general, OF a more
or less definitely organized American
police force" that might not only pre-
vent wrongs but establish right. Prof.
woolsey did not make light of the diff
picion and jealousy to overcome. II might
even happen that. as in Europe. a gen.
eral agreement would be displaced by a
general conflict But the scheme Of an
American concert was well worth con-
sidering and striving for. Prof. woolsey
maintains 1t would bring on the mil
lennium unawares. but Ii might easily
do great good in unforeseen emergencies.
Prof. Woolsey stated his conclusion in
words. some of which have almost a
prophetic sound today:
Unity of action too strong to be op-
posed: peace as result. instead Of
revolution and war; the dictator at
discount. since no one will recognize
him: political friendship and commercial
sympathy instead OF suspicion and
jealousy; a premium set on stability and
solvency. since to be in the concert rath-
er than outside of II would mean so
much to the minor states. would be so
well worth while: a trade mutually
profitable based on mutual goodwill; AL
influence larger in world politics than
any one state could aspire to. Such
results as these. even if not realized,
are at least worth aiming at. Are they
not more profitable IL the United States
joins hands with its fellows on this con-
dition. than they would be IL il plays
the game alone?"-New York Evening
Post.

FolLETTE's RECORD
Contains 357 Pages Which Prove tha
Seven Pages Are Eeeentric.

Senator La Toilette has produced the
eostiiest and most worthless issue Of the
Congressional Record which ever has APP
peared, and It may be that he has thereby
accomplished a most desirable object. II
rs TOO generally assumed that he caused
the republication Of - pages Of the finest
print on the railway rate case because Of
ms views on the railway question. which
naturally differ from those Of everybody
else Only the frivolous and thoughtless
can take that view OF the subject. No
statesman In his senses would bury seven
pages Of original dissent among So pages
OF better matter, from sources 20 numer-
Gus and respectable az to prove that the
seven pages were eccentric, or perhaps
unique. So far as known. there Ia no
other American who believes that the
railways have corrupted the press Of the
United States as an entirety, or that the
newspapers generally have conspired to
misrepresent the sentiments Of their con-
stituents. II that II beyond Imagination.
as it Is beyond the allegation Of anybody
else. II follows that the Senator has gone
FAR toward proving . preponderance Of
public opinion against the Senator's con-
tention. No man In public life deliber-
ately puts himself In . position SO lone
some and % difncult to maintain with
credit. II is necessary. therefore, to look
in another direction for the Senator's real
objective.
II seems reasonable to believe that what
the Senator sought to prove h the worth
lessness Of the Congressional Record as
IL is now published, and the necessity of
reforming II in the public interest. This
single issue cost 81, tSs.s2- II very Con-
gresham were to exercise a similar priv
ilege. the cost would be $500. 900 to pro-
duce a record Of what did not occur. of
words not uttered In debate, which would
alter nobody's opinion IL either heard or
read. Even this does not exhaust the
Senator's demonstration of a nuisance
and folly. The Senator'S speech was pro-
dueed to be franked, and II will fill the
mails. at further expense. II has been
officially reported that there were SOS, 40
volumes. a thousand tons. Of worthless
prints in storage in Washington before
the Senator produced his masterpiece.
That was striking In itself. but II sinks,
into insignihcance beside the Senator's
that II was possible to
waste six times as much In a single day
as the pioneers in this reform declared
were wasted each year.
The Senator may have intended incl
dentally to promote the advance Of rail-
way rates by revealing his unique oppo-
sition to IL. but his main object must
have been to prove beyond dispute that
the Congressional Record should contain
nothing not spoken in Congress or not
germane to the proceedings of Congress.
and that It should not be subject to frank
Ing for political purposes without some
York Times.
