a new and disturbing development
of the Mexican situation is the re-
Torted disposition of Gen. Carranza,
suIrcction. to ignore the principles %
the Monroe doctrine. The spirit of
contempt cropped out in messages to
the American state department in
which he denied the right of the
United States to make inquiry into the
death of a British subject.
If Gen. Carranza persists in this
policy it will make trouble. The Unit
ed States cannot honorably or consist
emily permit the Monroe doctrine to be
ignored. nor would it be prudent to
do so. The Monroe dictrine is all that
prevents all except commercial invas-
ion of the Latin American states by
European and Asiatic countries. 1t

tween the defenseless people of Cen

presumptuous leader of a ragged in

There is too much at stake to permit

sumption would be wide enough for
the world to pass through.
Carranza is epresumptive imperti-
nent. illogical. If he ever comes into
power in Mexico. as he apparently ex-
poets to do, he would be among the
first to clamor for the protection he
would now discredit and destroy He

However, there is no possibility that
his defiance of the Monroe doctrine
will be given serious attention beyond
quietly and firmly enforcing the prin-
ciples OF that international regulation.
Ii may compel more vigorous action
than was contemplated by the state
department at Washington, but it will
not defeat the purpose TO bring about
a peaceful solution of Mexican trou-

THE HEROICs OF SCIENCE.

DR.. Douglas Mawson, the English
explorer. has returned from the Ant
arctic with a new chapter to be added
Ia the record of heroic sacrifice in the
interests of science. OF itself the new
chapter makes a long and thrilling
story. 1t multiplies the tragedies of
the poles.
Science is commonly regarded as a
cold blooded pursuit. in which the adj
venturous and the romantic have no
part a dull and passionless search for
cold facts. and the popular mental
picture of a scientist is a bald and
bearded man working behind locked
doors amid musty volumes and odor-
Gus chemicals
Until of late the popular mind has
been unable 10 grasp the idea that the
ATTITUDES in search of information are

concealed their true character. Now
it is beginning TO he recognized that
the laboratory of the scientist is no
pentup Utica, but may be as large as
the world itself and the celestial sys-
tenn that surrounds il.
Franklin. Peary. Scott. Amundsen

THE COST or BAD ROADS.

The paDple of this state. and of the
whole country for that matter. pay
for bad roads out of current revenues.
And they pay more for bad roads
than good roads would cost. That
may sound a bit far-fetched. but q
little figuring will demonstrate that
il Is true.
What do bad roads cost the individ-
ual citizens of Indiana?
First. there are the appropriations
that are made for road purposes
quite a sum- Then there is work IN
the various townships that is wasted
as a result OF patchwork policy.
Then there is the wear and tear upon
horseflesh: the wear and tear upon
vehicles of all kinds; the breakage
bills--and last of all the loss OF time.
Poor roads take years out Of the lie
of every generation. Many farmer
actually spends weeks each year up
on the highways simply because they
are in bad condition. Were the roads
in good shape he would only spend
days
And all OF these drains came out OF
current revenues. If a thing is worth
having at all-speaking IL a purely
practical sense-it is worth having
because il is a money-maker. III good
roads cost more than bad roads baG
roads are better But If bad roads
cost more than good roads good roads
are better.-KokomO Dispatch.

A PEACEErL REVOLUTION.

In the first year OF his administra-
ton. which expires tomorrow. Pres.
Woodrow Wilson has become recog-
nized as a new type OF man in AmeTi-
can politics and a new example Of the
aptness of opportunity to produce the
man. As an instance of applied
theory Pres. Wilson's first year is
unique.
And IL is unique because Of the man.
The American people are no strangers
10 individuality in high places. It is
typical of the American character A
few only Of our presidents have been
ordinary men. They might be num-
bered on the fingers Of one hand. But
there is as much variance in individ-
uality and peculiarly as in common
placeness and medioerity.
With few exceptions the United
States has had presidents equal to
great occasions. Even in some excep-
tons there were extenuatlng circum-
stances. 1t has been rare at least that
even the accidents OF politics have
placed the highest gift of the Ameri-
can people in the hands of an ordinary
man The average citizen of intelli-
gence is capable of discriminating be-
tween the obviously fit and the OBJ
viously unfit. The high points touch
ed are far apart, but they terminate
at present with Pres. Wilson.
For the first time in it's experience
the country went outside of politics TO
choose its president. Pres. Wilson
4
was his theory of government as ap-
piled there rather than his practical
experience IN politics which enabled
him to dispel within a year all doubts
of the wisdom of elevating a man, al
most in one move. from the presidency
of a university to the presidency Of
the United states
The experiment. if experiment it
was. has proved entirely successful
entirely so because in no important
particular has il failed To meet the
most sanguine expectations of its most
hopeful friends. Many of the princi-
pal reforms which have been clam
ored for by the people, resolved upon
in party conventions. Numbered upon
from the stump. written upon by the
inspired for years have been material
lied and made real and binding in one
short twelvemonth, and the end is not
yet. The president is only we'll start
ed on his program.
What has been accomplished is too
recent 10 need listing at this time.
Suffice 1t TO say that in "a measure the
policy of the American government
which for years has been to strength
en- the hands Of the strong and let the
weak take care of themselves and
which was undermining its founda-
tiOns. has been revolutionized. The
government OF the United States is
low more nearly a government of, for
and by the people than IL has been for
more than half century.

One effect of the income tax is TO

and possibly to add something to the
property listed for taxation. One
reason taxes are so high in this coun-

share
