THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT
(From the Boston POst)

IRON the Boston fOSC)
But it is perfectly evident that a
marked change has come to public SEN
timent with the sober second thought
that people must take when they
consider war. The shedding of blood
the killing Of the flower Of our youth,
the dead in the jungle, the fever
stricken in the hospitals, the ruin and
devastation inflicted upon weak
people-these things come into view
with the sober second thought, and
popular opinion has come to believe
that it is far better not to experience
them unless they are part Of a wal
than is unavoidable. Even those con-
sentative and dignified newspapers Of
many cities-including our own-that
have been roaring for war and march
ing on to Mexico with their editorial
columns, have returned to sanity and
the calm contemplation of the bless
ings of peace with honor.
Any sacrifice, any duty, any out
pouring of blood and treasure the peo
pie of this country would unitedly Of
fer to their government if called upon
to do so. But now that the exercise of
diplomacy offers a possible solution
without the unequal yet harassing
conflict with the Mexicans, they are
manifestly glad.
Sober second thought is not weak
ness, it is not cowardice, it is not lack
of patriotism, 1t is an admixture Of
humanity and good sense that great
nation may very happily exercise.

The political editor of the Minnea-
polls Journal is so obsessed by the de-
sire to bolster up the republican elm
nation convention that he finds it
necessary, because of a fancied re-
semblance to it in the democratic
conference, to juggle with the truth
about the latter gathering. Leaving
aside the merits of the bolt, or the
merits Of the program of the confer
ence, or candidates, it is absurdly ridi-
culous and untrue that the brewers or
brewing influences caused the bolt,
and there is only one thing still more
ridiculous and untrue, and that is to
try to pose Lynch as the great apostle
Of reform who threw out the awful
and wicked brewing influence. We
have never seen any evidence that tho
brewing interests were bothering
about the conference at all. Certain
" the leaders who put the boss pro.
gram over, do not claim to be hostile
to the brewing = element. How the
Journal can keep on writing such stuff
is impossible to understand.

ENJOYS Resent Atti-
tude Of Rebels.
CARRANzA IS NOTIFIED
Refusal to Agree to ArInistice
With Huerta Is Reason.

Washington, May 5.-General Car.
rama and the Constituencies prac.
tically were eliminated from the pro.
ceedings of the three South American
ENJOYS who have undertaken to solve
the Mexican problem by diplomacy.
In a telegram to General Carranza
the mediators announced that in view
of his refusal to agree to an armistice
with General Huerta they withdraw
heir invitation to him to send a per.
scnal representative to participate in
the mediation negotiations.
The mediators told the Constitution
alist that so long as he maintains his
present attitude they must decline to
treat with him. General Carranza had
inquired in a note to the ENJOYS what
subjects special representative
might be required to discuss, point
ing out that if the general problem of
pacifying Mexico is to be approached
he cannot authorize any one to par.
LAN1pdlC III Ll0 ucSOLldtlOuS..
Carranza Outlines Attitude.
He reiterated that he will consent
20 mediation only on the incidents
which had brought about a controver.
81 between the United States and
Mexico,' holding that he is the con-.
sstitutionally chosen leader to whom
complaint about the insult at Tampico
and other offenses originally should
have been made
In their telegram the mediators
quoted Carranza's last note to them,
adding that so long as he maintains
hat attitude they must decline to re-
,eive representative from him, as
hey cannot separate the incidents at
Tampico and elsewhere which have
brought about friction between Mex.
leo and the United States from the
general subject of pacifying Mexico.
This new turn in events ended, in
the view of many officials, the chance
OF solving the entire Mexican prob
lem Immediately. though it did not
lessen the enthusiasm of the medi-
ators. who will continue their efforts
to solve the differences between Huer-
ia end the United States, which d.
rectly brought about the present crisis.
Huerta Names Delegates.
The South American mediators held
hree lengthy sessions, announcing
through Secretary Bryan that General
Fuerta has designated D. Emilio Ra.
hasa, an eminent Mexican jurist; Au-
gCstin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero,
a prominent. lawyer, as his delegates
to confer with the mediators.
Reports of the desperate condition
OF Huerta at Mexico City continued to
circulate and with such circumstan.
tial detail from authentic sources as
e leave no doubt of his critical condi.
ton.
There have been some amusing
features to tighten the serious aspects
of the mediation. proceedings. The
mediators have been receiving many
letters approving their course and of.
fering advice. One letter urged that
Theodore Roosevelt is the man to set
up a provisional government in Mex
leo, backed by North, South and Cen.
trail Americas, and that the Spanish
republics should induce him to under
take the provisional direction of af.
fairs at Mexico City.

ARMY TO RULE VERA CRUZ
Civil Officials Are Replaced by Amer.
lean Military Officers.

Washington, May 2-Secretary Gar
rison announced his intention of re-
moving all the civil officials at Vera
Cruz, replacing them with army OFF,
GERS. Mr.. Garrison said no reflection
was intended on the men already
chosen, as he did not know any of
them, but it was customary under
military occupation for all officers to
be directly responsible to the war de.
partment.
According to war department Off.
Gals it is absolutely necessary to
make the courts of Vera Cruz military
tribunals, or damage suits against the
civil government there might result in
claims against the American govern.
ment, martial law removing that pos
sibility.

OUR TRADE WITH MEXICO

The United States takes about Is
per cent. Of Mexico's total exports
and supplies about Sc per cent of the
total imports. Compared with the
corresponding period, in 1912, the
trade between the two countries for
the last half Of 1913 shows an increase
Of 10 per cent. in imports from Mex
leo and decrease Of IS per cent. in
exports to Mexico.
While progress has been, is being,
and will be made, the development of
Mexico's resources, on large scale,
will in all probability be matter of
coming generations. Billions of dollars
must be spent and invested, and the
habits and the customs Of life and
thought Of millions of people must be
wholly changed. Moreover, the de-
velopment will respond to pressure
from outside the country rather than
to local and native activity. The
present disorder will certainly impede
seriously the progress of the country,
but it will, with perhaps no less GER
tainty, lead to conditions more favor
able to national growth than those
hitherto existing.--From "Mexico g

1t will be interesting to see the
comments of the Duluth Labor World,
which is peculiarly intimate with the
intrcacies Of Duluth politics, which
knows all about the fight against cor
porate interests in that city, which
well knows who were the active mani
pulators of councils in the interest OF
public service corporations, which,
in a word-knows the story of what is
sinister in the politics of the Zenith
City-it will be interesting to read
what the Duluth Labor World will say
about the latest federal appointment
in that city.
1t is understood that it is to be Dis
trict Attorney Jaques and United
States Marshal Grimmer. Thus doth
Brother Lynch go On taking care Of
his friends-and to the divil with the
others-which is eminently boss-like
and proper, and follows the traditions
of the lamented Kelly and Doran.
That Jaques is able and Harvey is
amiable doesn't change the situation.
The Hon. Lynch is not endorsing able
or amiable democrats who are not
friendly. We do not quarrel with
that fact particularly, because we
realize it is one Of the prerogatives OF
the boss.

If the mediation program wins, and
peace results in Mexico, it will be a
victory worth, more than any achieve
nent on the tariff, the currency or the
trust question. The acceptance of
such proposition proves that the
president does not want war, and is
willing even to have his position mis-
construed in order to avoid it. The
three great South American countries
whose representatives are acting as
mediators are remarkable countries in
all ways, with potentialities in de-
velopment and possibilities not sur
passed by any region On earth. 1t was
not demeaning, but an act of wisdom
to accept their offer of assistance, and
it will reassure the peoples of the vast
southern continent as to the good will
of the United States.

AMERICAN MONEY IN MEXICO

AMER1CAN MONEY IN MEXICO
St. Cloud Journal-Press: The amount
of American holdings in Mexico is
given in an estimate prepared by
Marion Letcher, the American consul
at chihuahua, and it will surprise
most people. Americans have invested
in railway stocks and bonds, bank
stock and deposits, mines and smelters,
national bonds, timber lands and
ranches, live stock and industries, to
the sum total Of $l,057, 770,O0O. In
these same properties the Mexicans
have only half as much, 1929, PAP,
and the English less than a third, or
1921 100000. Tt is American money
that has been developing Mexico, and
yet the Mexicans seem to be more an
tagonistic to the United States than
any other nation.

Trouble In Suffrage Ranks

There is an unusually sad story in
the news of the day. Trouble has
broken out afresh in the camp Of the
suffragettes. A small band has de-
serted the cause of the Congr~ - II
Union for Woman Suffrage because
of the reputed intention of that mill
tant organization to defeat present
members of Congress unless the
democratic administration enacts an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for universal suffrage.
This state of affairs is unfortu-
nate. Perhaps the rebellious elc~7cnt
does think that the milite-A- 800 -.
ceeding too rapidly. Nevo--'' :,
they should be patriotic enough to
swallow this unpleasant dose fo- the
good of the cause.
1t has been stated that the main
handicap in the way of the propa-
ganda was the "contented woman
1t is self-evident that if division con-
tinues in the camp of those who are
admittedly discontented there will be
little hope of disturbing the serenity
of the pitiable little female who is
weak enough to love her home and her
fireside.
Mere man may not agree with the
suffragettes. But he cannot withhold
ardent admiration when to win their
cause they display willingness to go
to any extent. In America, our mill
tants will not burn and pillage and
destroy with bombs. Therefore, no
one should permit himself to become
abusive or even critical when thcce
gentle danes go out upon the hust-
ings for the purpose of retiring the
"reactionaries' who do not believe
that the federal government -
dictate to the individual states in re-
gard to suffrage.
Great lamentation follows the sn1't
in the ranks. There is no o9ce lion
but that the phrase of Baoiar1.
Franklin is here applicable - -
less the suffragettes hanr to~-'t--.
they will certainly hang separately
This is figurative. expression, of
course.

Treat for the nnys

Nothing l have witnessed in years
has impressed me like the scene at the
BiJou theatre today when the Beulah
Poynter company gave a free perform
ance to 500 boys from the Alabama
Boys Industrial school at East Lake"
said Edward G. Hopkins last night
There is no doubt but what some
Of those 300 boys never saw a the
atlical performance before and it has
been long time since the great ma
1ority of them saw one at least. Their
appreciation of the kindness was very
noticeable. The cheers they gave Miss
foynter at the conclusion of the sec
orc act almost knocked the roof off
the theatre
There are few people whose hearts
are not touched by the unfortunate
boys who are sent to the Industrial
school largely through no fault of
their own, and any kindness to them
such as that yesterday appeals to prac-
tically every father and mother in the
state
