carry on mad hostility against all es-

the fountain of industry and dry all
streams. In country OF unbounded
liberty they clamor against oppression.
In country OF perfect equality they
would move heaven and earth against
privilege and monopoly. In country
where property is more evenly divided

We Need the Doctors Verdict.

Young DR.. Harry Potz should have prevented If
possible publication of his reported typhus germ
discovery before submitting his findings to the Asso-
citation of American Physicians. 1t is not hard to
understand the ethics involved. The invitation TO
read his paper before this scientific body constituted
both compliment and commando compliment
in the implied interest Of his distinguished col
leagues in the results Of his researches and com
mand to subject them to the verdict Of his profess
sion To make capital Of this invitation and TO
anticipate this verdict are offences which hardly
could have been overlooked.
Nevertheless, we could have wished that the asso-
citation had hit upon other form Of punishment
than refusal to hear his paper. Its subject is OF
too great Importance to humanity 10 be left in a
state of uncertainty merely because this young man
has offended against the dignity of medicine If he
has isolated the typhus germ and is on the road to
the discovery Of typhus vaccine, the quicker there
is scientific confirmation OF the fact the better all
around. If he has failed Of this high accomplish
ment it is even more necessary that the public he
disabused of its eagerly accepted notion that an
other dread cause Of death is undergoing process

The Mayors Free Speech Policy.

After his reiteration Of it yesterday there should
he no possible misunderstanding of Mayor Mitchels
attitude on the free speech issue forced on the
public by the activities Of anarchists l. w w. ora
tors and the Rev. Bouck White. The Mayors idea
is clear and reasonable. Any person will be at lib
erty to speak whatever is in his mind freely 10
those who desire TO listen. But if orations pro-
duce violence, themselves indictments to
attacks on individuals or property. they go beyond
what the law permits and must he stopped and
the orator must he arrested.
I'm this there is iot of encouragement Of police
violence. which is what some of the Mayors critics
lay at his door There is plain and simple rccog-
milton Of the rights of peaceful assembly and free
Speech-tO point where they do not interfere
with the rights of other members of the commu-
nifty. There is desire TO incitc the police to
clubbing neither is there any desire TO encourage
cgotistic preachers of selfmadc panaceas Of saliva
ton for the Of the world to crate TO people who
haven't invited them and don't want to hear them.
The zeal for reform and uplift which has broken
loose in various "iSmS indicates desirable health
full striving for general betterment But there is no
reason why nusanceS should be permitted TO exist
in the guisc OF reform preachmcnts. The Mayor
has very clear idea of the dividing line and
neither the propagandiss the police should find
any ground for misunderstanding the law the

Tampico and the Arms Embargo

Tho inchoate character Of the administration
Nexican nocv could not be better illustrated than
by the half-lifted, haf-enforced embargo on the n
portation Of arms and munitions of war After 'he
custom house at Vera Cruz was seized III oruer "
prevent the landing of the Ypirangas cargo Tue
shipment Of arms and ammunition across the Texas
border TO the Constutionalist forces was informal
ly stopped.
That was wise measure Of precaution. SINCE
although the Constituencies were helping ma
terially to eliminate Huerta, there was some oan-
ger that they might resent the violation OF Mexican
soil and turn their guns against us, either on tner
own initiative or in conjunction with Huerta'
Carranzas first communication was threatening
but Villa who is a practical soldier rather than
a legal and diplomatic pundit promptly reversed
Carranza He saw that the Constitutionalists must
have military supplies in order TO continue ther
triumphant march southwark His policy aimed at
concilatng the United States and at securing re-
lifting or at least lax enforcement of the arms
embargo.
The administration has shown no signs OF weak
ening. so far as the shipment Of arms and mum-
tons across the Texas boundary line is concerned
Public opinion in Texas would be outraged by such
a relaxation of vigilance. Secretary Garrison was
most nsistent that the traffic should be cut on, ana
it IS understood that he is just as strongly opposed
TO allowing it to spring up again. Yet, according
TO the explanations made in Washington OF the
present status of Tampco port, the admins
tration does not intend to interfere with the land
ing of military supplies dispatched thlther either
by foreigners or by Americans.
That is tweedledum-t weedledee programme
If the importation Of into Northern Mexico
is likely TO make trouble hereafter for the United
States il should be checked all along the line The
President has power under the law to forbid the
1cearance of arms from American ports to Tam
pico why should he not treat mportations by land
and by water alike, If he leaves open the
question of dealing at Tampico with shipments Of
munitions from other countries than the United
States?
Tide country applauded wise exercise of dis
erection the prohibition laid on the traffic in military
supplies across our southern boundary line. Is it
expected TO applaud equally winking at such
traffic through Tampico?
If the confidence OF the administration In the
friendly intentions of Carranza and Villa has over
come all previous hestations it would be just and
reasonable to allow them to refit and reequp not
alone through Tampico but through Laredo and
FL Paso. Closing door and leaving the other
open only shows indecison and instability in
matter about which there should be definite and
clear cut state of mind

Sir: On Sunday DR.. Newell Dwight Hi
lis said that civilization does not rest on
war" Isn't this lie? Doesn't history in
dictate that civilization has been attained
only by war; War seems to be but the
response to the push OF evolution which
has raised US from the cave man stage
Everything in nature responds TO this
push; and a cessation OF war means a
drag backward. for there is always that
downward pull which we must struggle
against. This, I'm fact is the meaning OF
the woros God and "devir'-the ono
standing for the pushing forward to bet
ter things. evolution: the other standing
for the dragging backward, devolution.
War, despite all the things tina, have
been said against il, is the thing that has
brought out the best there is in humanity
And II is good TO know, notwithstanding
our grapejuice diplomacy and our sordld
millionaire peace promoters. that the war
spirit is still with us. and we made a red
letter day of the mem orial services 10 III.
dead men who fought for us at Vera Cruz.
Many lives have been sacrificed IN this
city-some In the erection OF skyscrapers.
some under the wheels OF automobiles.
some in blazing factories. But while We
sympathized with the relatives OF these
dead we made little fuss over the victims
simply because they bad not been engaged

IL seems to me that the time IL ripe for
the formation OF a war movement. Eng

in thousand years 10 hasten civilization
than all the peace societies could have
done In a million years. True, England
was not always right; but might always

her and founded a new nation on this
continent.
BY all means let us go on and lick civ
illzation into the Mexicans and the South
Americans. In time America may conquer
the world, and when that day comes there
will be an era of civilization such as we
can hardly conceive. BY then. too, our in
vcntors will have told us how 10 reach

bigger task OF the world-called no
