DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

Very little dependence can be plac-
ed in newspapers that abused Patter-
son and Brake before the primaries
and are now holding them up as an
gels of mercy. But this is the game
of federal patronage sheets. They
are forced to do so by the adminis-
tration and the secretary of state.
In fact, there is little these papers
will not stand for. Why, we have
some of them making the charge that
the Republicans demonetized silver,
when the fact is Grover Cleveland
called an extra session of congress to
demonetize the metal. Again, we
have some of the papers asserting
that the Democrats will remonetize
the white metal in the near future
when no sane man or woman has the
remotest idea of such thing happen
ing. Assertions of this kind only emf
nate from diseased mind.

DIsPLEAsING THE sTRIKERs.

Even the federal government, with
Mr. Wilson at its head, does not seem
to satisfy the demands of the United
Mine Workers. There has been much
grumbling over the order of the Sec
retary of war, which did not permit
a man to seek work in the coal fields
of this state unless he was citizen
OF Colorado. This was strange or
der, at any rate when it is remem-
bered that 80 per cent of the men in
the coal fields did not become resi-
dents until they arrived in Colorado
and most of the men now on strike
are not citizens.
But the first order did not suit the
strikers and their leaders and the Sec
ond order is wholly unsatisfactory.
ior the original ruling has been modi-
ned SO as to permit a man who de-
clares his purpose to become n res;-
dent of Colorado to seek work in the
coal fields. The bulletin of the United
NINE Workers, just issued, says with
respect to this order:

No announcement connected with

SYMPATHY FORPARENTS
OF DOROTHY ARNOLD.

Public sympathy will continue to
90 out to the unhappy parents of
Dorothy Arnold, not only because of
the blighting sorrow involved in her
disappearance and the unrelieved un-
certainty of her fate, but because
every incident that arises which any
imaginative and sensational mind
may apply to the solution of the
mystery is used at once for that
purpose.
The raid on the blouse of Mys-
terry" at Pittsburgh is a case in
point. The rambling statement of an
arrested physician is accepted as fact
and given to the public ;: the
States officer in charge of the raid.
The public is invited to believe that
Dorothy Arnold died under disgrace
sui circumstances in the Pittsburgh
sanatoriuIn and that her body was
incinerated in a furnace in the cellar.
II now appears that this theory was
based on the shallowest foundation
and that the Identification relied on
was Of the most casual and trivial
character.
District Attorney Jackson's course
in the matter has been provocative
Of an indignant letter from the girls
father, Francis r. Arnold, of New
York. Addressing Mr.. Jackson, Mr..
Arnold wrote:
1t would seem to me that II you
thought you had made such a discov-
cry, II was not only demanded by
courtesy, but IT was your plain duty

YOU have any evidence from persons

The wronged father appeared to mo-
duce any impression on the mac who
caused it. All that the district at
to-ney has done is to write tire faith

Most simultaneously cast as juliet, a
role In which she is well schooled. Miss

So far as the capital which Ameri-
cans and MeXi cans have placed in
developing the natural resources and
industrial possibilities of Mexico,
Americans have 81 ,n29 ,3?O, 900 so in
vested, while Meyicans have only
$3.50, 204, POO.
Americans, for example, have
$644 $50, 900 in Mexican railroad Sc
curities, while Mexicans themselves
have only s137,715,00G. In mines
and smelters Americans have $249,-
100000, against the mere s14,,700,00O
of Mexicans themselves. Even in
Mexico's national bonds Americans
have invested $52,OOO,0oO. against
81, 100000 of Mexicans. In factor
les, the oil industry and the rubber
industry in Mexico Americans have
invested s9,6OO,0Oc, S15,OO0,OOO and
S15.G0G,000 respectively, with 3d.
270.2OO, $650,O09 and Si,5OO,0O0 for

OUR ECONOMIC INTER
VENTION" IN MEXICO.

That the United States has for
many years been conducting an
economic intervention" in Mexico
in developing the country's natural
resources and business possibilities
is we'll known, hut is shown with
particular clearness in the recent re-
port of Marion Letcher, American
consul at Chihuahua.
Americans have 81 ,057.770,000 in
vested in all kinds Of property in
Mexico, while the investments of
Mexicans themselves in every kind of
property in Mexico is only $780,
1922.
AS if this were not sufficiently
homogeneous financial situation, it
further appears, Oh analysis, that
1867, 993,042 of this total capital
which Mexicans have invested in
their own country is in houses, per-
sonal property, bank deposits and

EXPANDING POSTAL
BANKS.

The postal savings banks now hold
deposits totaling nearly $4,000, 900,
despite that a single depositor may
turn in not to exceed $500. The
number of depositors whose accounts
reach up to this limit tends, of
course, to grow larger as the months
pass, so that the growth of the bust
ness will have to be slower and
slower in future.
The Postmaster General has rec
commended that the $500 limit be re-
moved and 81 900 limit substituted.
There is much demand among the de-
positors for this change, and it is
difficult to conceive a good reason in
opposition. 1t is stated that the Gov
eminent now refuses as much money
as is received for the account of the
postal banks, because the depositors
have reached the laws limit. Despite
that only 2 per cent interest is paid,
the depositors insist on carrying
their money with the Government,
because this kind of banking is done
mainly by people who have small
commercial needs for funds, and who
have prcjudices against ordinary
banks. The number of such is in
deed surprisingly large, as bankers
we'll know.
Thus the money that goes into the
postal banks is very largely that
much money saved to the service of
the business community, that would
otherwise be boarded. 1t is depos-
tied by the Government in the banks,
and SO placed instantly at the dis
posel of general business.
There would be substantially no
increased expense involved in hand
ling much larger volume of bust
ness in the postal banks. The pres
ent seems a peculiarly appropriate
time to encourage such deposits, for
the Government faces the possibility
Of large extraordinary expenses,
which could most fittingly be financed
through investment of the postal
Lank funds in Government securities

A BROKEN BREAD LINE.

Trinity Church Corporations re-
fusal to accept the $150,G00 bequest
Of Henry M. Gescheidt to establish a
bread line" under the direction of
Trinity Church is in accord with
scientific philanthropic ideas of to-
day. Trinity has been saddled for
more than a century with one such
charity, known as "The Leake Dole. "
Through its provisions loaves of
bread are distributed every Saturday
morning to the poor of one of the
lower West Side Trinity parishes.
The Leake Dole does not fill a want
Of any marked character, but must
be maintained.
II has been the experience of char
ity workers in Great Britain, where
the dole flourishes, that the estab-
lishment of such philanthropy in a
parish often spells decadence and
ruin for the parish. This is due to
the fact that worthless persons in
wade such parishes to take advant-
age of the dole, being content to ex-
list on that.
The scheme worked out by Gesch-
eidt for the establishment Of bread
line and for the stamping of his
name on each loaf belongs to the or

DOT IN A BIG WAY!

If we are going into Mexico, the
only right way to do it is the big
way.
The Government, once embarked
on the program of actual occupation
of the country, should use such over
whelming force that opposition will
be impossible and unthinkable. That
will bring the end quick, and will
most effectually impress the people
of Mexico with the realization that
it is useless to listen to the jingoism
of ignorance or mere brag.
On the sea, we have no doubt of
our ability to make this showing.
The mobilization of an army proper
tionately overwhelming is a very diff
ferent problem.
For years the proper development
of or militia has been neglected, and
now, in the hour Of necessity, it is
reported that very large share Of
the nominal organization in the vari-
Gus States would be unavailable for
service.
But the showing is not 50 bad as
the figures would suggest. There are
hundreds of thousands Of young men
who, in the State militia, in colleges
and military schools, have received
good military training, though they
do not happen at this time to be en-
rolled. Tens of thousands of these
will volunteer instantly there is need
for them, and they should be given
preference. The veterans Of the
Spanish war are yet young men.
Thousands of others, not now serv-
ing, have been members Of the regu-
lar army, or of the volunteer forces
in the Philippines. In short, there is
material from which a powerful
army can be brought together in
very short order.
The way to make military move
most effective, conclusive, ard in the
end least expensive, is to make that
move on such scale that there will
be neither a chance for opposition
nor a desire to renew the contest
later
