THE PRESIDENTS WATcHFUL WAITING.

Many of the newspapers of the country, and particularly those
inclined to be opposed to him politically, are becoming restlVe over
what is termed the presidents policy of watchful waiting with re-
gard to the Mexican situation.
1t may be that the president is making a mistake, but we should
reflect that whatever the president does concerning Mexico may
prove to be an error. No one knows what will be the outcome or the
Mexican chaos.
Ordinarily speaking, basing the opinion upon the enlightenment
with which the average Mexican is credited, a few American boys
are worth a brigade of the Mexican rabbe.
nterventon-armed intervenhon-could but result IN the sac
r;fce of many of these American boys. Possibly the adm1nlstra-
TONS policy of waiting may eventuate IN bloodshed through inter
venhon, in which case nothing would have been gained by delay, but
to us it seems worth while to postpone drastic action until the exl
gencies of the situation demand a forward step.
We fail to perceive that any evil effects will result from the
presidents policy. We are sacrificing no lives for the present, and
so far as we can observe, neither faction in Mexico is gaining sui
fcient strength to offer prolonged resistance in case this country
should find it necessary to change its methods of dealing with the
Mexican problem. ~e4H. W - u

PUBLIC MEN AND THE cHAuTAUQuA.

Some member Of congress, whose name we do not at this moment
recall but which may go laundering down the ages despite our forget
funcss, has introduced a bill prescribing the acceptance of remun-
Grafton by men holding public office for delivering lectures and
speeches.

who deliver a few observations upon other occasions, for a stipulated
fee, and this congressman whose name his slipped a cog in our mem
Dry desires to cut off this sort of perquisite, or whatever it may be
called.
Theoretically, at least, we pay our senators and congressman a
given sum for attending strictly to our business. When they step
aside for a few moments to receive pay from private concerns or from
| a collection of concerns or Individuals it is thought by some to be
questionable whether they are earning the salaries for the time being
that we are contributing to their support.
To say the least, it is a very fine point Of business and political
elect to public office devote their entire time and talents to the
public businessq
The question has been raised and it is possible that it may con-
.tnue to hold the stage, with more or less variation in interest, until
the matter is settled one way or another.
If the men we choose for public Office are to be barred from ac-
|oepting remuneration from any other source during the time they
are serving us, it is up to us to grant them sufficient recompense to
meet all their living expenses such as BELTS their stations. Mr.
Bryan, for instance, is quoted as saying that he cannot live on the
salary paid him as secretary Of state-one thousand dollars a month.
He therefore justifes his lectuing tours.
Many senators and not a few congressman and occasionally a
governor indulge in these side-stepping engagements.
ps ssage of such a measure as we have mentioned, but, as we have
already suggested, we should see that our public men are paid q sal
airy in accordance with their necessary expenses.

CANAL TOLLS AND SOUTH DAKOTA.

South Dakota stands with President Wilson with regard to the
canal tolls, if the attitude of the states delegation be taken as an
indication of the general sentiment of it's people. Senator Sterling
made a speech in the senate in support of the measure for repeal, and
Congressman Burke is reported to have delivered an effective speech
in the house.
do. Tt is true that American money has constructed the canal, and
it is likewise true that it would seem that the United States ought to
have the right to do as it pleases with its own, unhanpered by treaty
shpulations.
But it is also true that the exemption Of coastwises ships from
the payment Of tolls was but a form Of subsidy against which the
American people seem to have set their faces.
The day Of land grants and special favors Of that sort seem to be
about over in America, The ship subsidy is but a special grant, and,
for the most part, accorded to interests that are abundantly able to
take. care of themselves.
We believe that the sentiment Of the people of the state sustains
this question
Mr.. Underwood, who has recently been honorsd by his state
with the nomination for the United States senate, does not seem to
be IN accord with the presidents general policies. Mr.UnderWood,
who is regarded as the leader Of the house democrats, very strenuous

BABY's HEALTH CONTEST.

Secretary Mcllvane, of the state fair association, is trying to in
terest US in the "Baby's Health Contest at the state fair to be held
the coming fall.
We assure the secretary that we are always interested in babies.
they are very interesting little things, and the. hitler they are the
more interest they arouse in the human breast-always excepting, of
course, the full grown ones that wear these new tangled skirts that
Hare so audlbly at the hips and come to such a nice little peak at the
shoe tops. We have thought seriously of buying one-the skirt, we
inean-for use as a funnel in connection with our automobile radiat-
Ter. But we are DEPRESSING, we fear.
This baby contest is to be a hummer, according to the secretary's
published rules and regulations. There are to be two classes
city babies and rural" babies. Only the first one hundred and
twenty-five babies entered will be examined, so if you have a baby
that bids fair to be a prize winner get into the contest right away
before it is everlastingly too late.
The boy babies and the girl babies are to compete separately, and
there are to be five prizes in each class. The prizes run from five
dollars down to one for a baby one year old and under two; similar
prizes for those between the ages of two and three years. And then
there is the championship prize, a blue ribbon for the most perfect
boy and one for the most perfect Cir.
Mothers with babies entered will be admitted free on the day of.
The printed rules say nothing about admitting the
fathers free on the suspicious occasion, otherwise we might buy a
somewhere.
Any further information You may desire concerning babies and
how to raise them for this occasion you can no doubt get from Sec
rotary G. n. McIlvaine by addressing him at Huron. If he doesn't
happen to have all the information you want about babies in general
and your baby in particular, just call on us--we are credibly inform
ed that we were once a baby ourself.

THE cow AND HER VALUE,

Mr.. M. +. fiuII OF Michigan, addressing the New YORK Dairy
nen's association last December, is reported to have said, in sub
stance, that about onethird Of the cows in the United States that.
the farmers are keeping are actually not paying for the Feed they
consume, to say nothing about paying for their keeping; another
third are about breaking even. and another third are paying a profit
We don't know how near to the facts Mr. Hull struck in his
reported remarks, but if he got anywhere near them it is time for al
revolution in the dairy business. Mr.. Hull has had wide experience
ia the dairy line and should have a fair understanding of the situa-
ton about which he speaks.
If ii be true that only one-third Of the cows are paying a profit,
the fact indicates great waste on the farm, 50 far as cows are con-
|eernedt But it is also true that there is great waste In other voca-
Etions. 1T is to be found in many q business venture, not only ID the
smaller towns and villages, but in the metropolitan places. Only b
comparatively small proportion Of the business houses are really
making very much profit.
This may be contrary to general expectations, but we believe tha.
THE facts bear out the assertion. The business houses that are
really profitable, after covering al operating expenses, are the OK
lception rather than the rule. we believe Some of them may possibly
Ireapsuf6dent profit to pay 4 small dividend on the investment after
following for operating expenses, but only q comparatively few Of
them are paying anything above interest on the cash invested, while
many Of them are barely existing.
These facts suggest that there must be q modification of our
ientire business system, not only as applied to the farms but IN con
lnection with business enterprises
