PROGRESS IN MEXICO

While conditions in Mexico are not vet en-
tirely tranquil, there is good reason to believe
that President Wilson's .watehful waiting
policy, coupled with the driving tactics of the
Constitutionalists, has solved the major part
of the problem.
Huerta is eliminated The old official pha-
lanx of land grabbing and land holding barons
is smashed effectively and the old regime of
peonage is gone. What the dreamer Madero
did not have the. power to do, the vigorous
executive Carranza and the ruthless soldier
Villa have done Perhaps they have done it
roughly, cruelty, with some injustice and some
needless bloodshed, but it is done And both
Carranza and Villa are pledged to more liberal
land laws, to educational reforms, to election
reforms
The one critical point today seems to be
Villa opposition to Carranza as candidate
in the presidential elections: These elections
are to be held as soon as the country has settled
down from its years of revolution. Villa main
tains that Carranza is not legally entitled to
become president of Mexico by election. Presi-
dent Wilson takes the opposite view. He has
declined to regard Carranza as provisional
president" designating him instead First
Chief of the Constitutionalist Army" and as
such trying to enforce law and order in Mexico
President Wilson has sent another emissary
to Mexico, much as he sent John Lind. The
latest special envoy is Paul Fuller, who is sent
to convey personally to Villa the presidents
views as to what conditions must be brought
about in Mexico before the United States will
recognize the new government.
ic 10 fo hoii hot with Tlroo
made thus far in President Wilson's avowed
effort to make the United States of real service
to Mexico and her people, further success Isl
coming.
Carranza is preparing to call an election for
November for all federal offices, including the
Villa is probably opposing him,
but Villa will be brought to recognize the ne
cessity of proceeding along lines favored by
President Wilson. Unless, indeed, the Tiger
of Chihuahua" is wholly irreconcilable.

FEDERAL TRADE COM
MISSION A REALITY

With the passage Of the Federal Trade Com.
mission bill in Congress a few days ago, one OF
the essential features of President Wilson s
antitrust program was accomplished The
president, it is announced, will nominate the
new commissioners in December and the com
mission will be in active working order early
in 1915.
Dispatches from Washington summarize the
duties and powers of the new commission as
follows:
The Federal Trade Commission of FIVE mem
bers will absorb, with enlarged powers, the
functions of the Bureau of Corporations, which
the bill abolishes 1t will assist the Department
of Justice, upon direction of the courts, in
solving economic problems connected with the
antitrust laws, and will supervise compliance
of corporations with DEGREES of dissolution
The commission will investigate, at the di-
rection of the president, alleged violations of
antitrust laws, making recommendations for
readjustment of business so that corporations
investigated may operate lawfully, either at
its own discretion or on request of the attorney
general
The commission has authority to investigate
practices which may affect foreign trade and
to provide publicity for facts which ought to
be common property of American business
men," 1t will have the usual right of SUM
moning witnesses and requiring testimony,
and its orders will be enforced by the Circuit
Court Of Appeals, which may pass only on the
question of law, the commissions findings as
to facts being conclusive. Judgments Of the
Court of Appeals are to be inal subject to re-
view by the Supreme Court on writs of GER
tiorari

A CHEERING SYMPTOM

Some of the brethren are so unkind as to
voice the suspicion that the board of super
visors has decided to go ahead with the paving
of Kalakana avenue because there is an cleo
ton coming along pretty soon. How cruel an
insinuation! OF course four members of the
present Democratic board are candidates for
reelection, but who would accuse them of doing
politics now or at any other time In the last
two years of glorious achievement OF course
they have not gone boldly ahead and carried
out the provisions of the two frontage tax acts
passed by the last legislature, but everyone
knows politics had nothing to do with that
they, the supervisors, were wiser than the leg
islature and weren't going to see the poor,
downtrodden Public, the hapless, hopeless,
helpless People, abused and prosecuted! At
any rate, politics or no politics, election or no
election, Kalakaua avenue needs fixing, and if
the supervisors can make up their minds how
and when to do it, they are to be commended.
Indeed, the board should be encouraged when
ever it shows symptoms of being able to agree
on and carry out anything whatever.

WHOM DID IT EVER HELPe

The head man of big business concern in
Kansas City was asked not long ago to with
draw his opposition to a saloon in his neigh
borhood
why are you so strongly set against
Nhiskey and saloonsf What harm did they
ever do your inquired the man who was urg-
ing him to withdraw his protest
The business man replied as follows: Look
here, he said If you will bring me one man
who was ever benefited by whisky will with
draw my objection to this saloon; / will take
my name off the remonstrance against it, and
sign the petition for it; ] will take back all
have ever said against the saloon; will work
and preach in favor Of it. Bring me just one
man. DO not limit your search to Kansas City;
take the whole United States to find him in;
60 out with drag and hunt the whole
United States for him. If you find one man
that whisky has in any way benefited, will
withdraw my protest and help you in your
work to establish this saloon !"

COAST COMPANY
wins SUIT OVER
inter ISLAND

The long-standing damage suit
brought in 1912 by the Puget Sound
Commercial Company against the In
! ter-Island Steam Navigation Company
for the loss OF the formers schooner
Khkitat. outside OF Hilo harbor, was
brought TO a close in the federal court
this morning through decision hand
ed down by Judge Sanford B. Dole fa-
voring the coast concern The deci-
sion awarded $4,000 TO the Puget Sound
Commercial Company, and ruled that
each company involved pay one-half
the costs. Capt j. D. Nelson of the
Klikitat was awarded $50. The Kliki-
Ia. was valued at approximately &c.,
0C0 The wreck was disposed of at
auction. about $3.50 being derived from
the sale
As pointed out in Judge Dole's
lengthy decision and recitation of cir
cumstances, the Inter-Island's tug Ke-
auhou from Hilo dropped the Klikittat
when about mile from shore Owing
to the prevailing winds, and from the
fact that the vessel was carrying no
cargo, the Klikitat became unmanage-
able, drifted to shore and was wreck
ed. The decision pointed out that a
certain amount of blame lay with the
captain of the tug from the fact that
he did not stand by ready to render
assistance after he had dropped the
vessel. On the other hand, the skip
per of the Klikitat is said to have not
used his knowledge of seamanship to
its fullest extent in endeavoring to
get his vessel to sea.
An attorney for the Inter-Island was
present at the hearing and took an
exception to the ruling OF Judge Dole.

BRIIAIN'S SUGAR
BUYING HINISAT
PROTRACTED war

That Great Britain is securing sugar
aceumulaticns on q scale indicating
that she expects the war to last into
next summer at least is the statement
Of the latest issue of Willett s. Gray Z
Sugar Journal, September 3. The
Journal says:
Great Britain acts, in its sugar ae-
foundations, as if the war will last
into next summer at least She has
already secured an oversupply for the
remainder of this year and is busy
now in buying from the next Cuba
crop, having already secured 2j0, 600
tons of the early deliveries of January
to March, paying for the same 3.S0e to
4.e0c fob. and still bidding 4.00e fob.
in Instances for the entire production
of some estates.
From the latest and most reliable
figures available we estimate that
Great Britain has secured since Aug
ust |. inclusive of stocks August j,
from the United States, Cuba, Java,
Nauritius, Demarara, British West
Indies and elsewhere mot including
new crop Cubas1, total of 5000
tons raws, semi-refined and refined.
The present refining capacity of Great
Britain is $4,000 tons per month and
will need to be increased even If raw
sugar goes into consumption to q con-
siderable, extent.
Placing the requirements for con.
sumption of all sugar for six months
from August1, at $4,000 tons per
month-say 10000 tons for six
months, but Great Britain is evidently
intent on looking further ahead in
case the war continues, and hence
the interest shown already in seeur-
ing a considerable amount of sugar
from the next Cuba crop.
Referring to our recent article
august 20 number), giving the loca-
tion of European beet fields in danger
of being trampled under foot by the
warning armies, we can now call at
tention to such as have already suf-
fered.
In Belgium SO factories, of which
there are located in the provinces of
Liege Is, Brabant II, Namur 4, Hahn
aut 2S, have probably lost their crops
and only in Aantwerp 2, Flanders 7
anu = 1dCbOIlCo ICtAldlu
Total crop of Belgium is 100000 tons
sugar, of which probably 100000 tons
are affected.
In France 40 factories in Nord, 20
in Pas de Calais, 81 in Somme, "a in
Aisne, 4 in Ardennes, 81 in Disc, to-
gether ls4 factories, are already with
in the firing lines. Thirty-two other
factories are in direct line to Paris.
leaving only Is factories in France so
far immune from disaster.
Our German correspondence claims
that the crops Of Germany will be
fully harvested labor for the fields be-
ing impressed from Belgium Gas we
understand it,.
This report takes no note of the
Russian advance to Berlin, which is
completed, would be over some of the
principal beet fields of Germany,
which lie between the Russian army
and Berlin
Z The journal indicates a satisfactory
beet sugar situation and says that in
q few days the advent of the domestic
beet crops should find the refiners
well balanced up.

I. R. ANSWERS
BARNES SUIT;
ON SECRET file
Reply Branded as An Additional
Vilification and For Cam
paign Purposes
IBy Latest Mail. ]

NEW YORK.-W Whatever Col. Roose-
welt said of William Barnes in the
answer he has made in the libel suit
brought by the Republican state chair,
man is to remain a secret Tor some
time. The lawyers refuse 20 make
public any part of the answer and as
the procedure in Albany county differs
from that in New York the papers Will
not be filed until there is some action
or motion that requires their presenta-
ton.
Col. Roosevelt at Oyster Bay was
asked to make some statement rela-
tive to the document. With great en-
phasis the Colonel said
II have literally nothing to say
This attitude. is said to be due to
advice from the Colonel's lawyers,
Bowers & Sands, that to make public
an answer in such suit can techni-
cally be construed as contempt Of
court.
William NJ. WINS, representing Mr..
Barnes, admitted that the answer fills
100 printed pages, and said:
"Nominally it is an answer; actually
it is an additional yilification without
releyance to the complaint. 1t is in
Mr. Roosevelt's hest mendacious vein.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had printed a long
document and told the newspapermen
to invite US to give it out. ! have no
objection whatever to his giving pub
LEGATION TO- his own mendacity, but
refuse to be his instrument in the
conduct OF what he is trying to make
q political campaign rather than liti-
cation.
William H Van Benschoten of Bow
ers & Sands said we have no OBJ
lection to Mr.. Ivinsss making public
the answer, but We will not. 1t is u.s.
ual for the court to decide whether an
answer is competent or not when that
answer is submitted
Lawyers consider 1t probable that
first publication of the answer will
follow an applicafion by Mr.. Barnes
lawyers to have part of the answer
stricken out as irrelevant and scan
dalous.
