No Time for Legislative Experiment

Should the Mexican situation develop into actual
the administration, however much against its in
clnation probably will realize the necessity of post
ponng for the present session of Congress its anti
trust legislative program, course which business
America almost with one voice would heartily COM
mend even were the prospects all for continuation
of peace. With the country engaged in war and at
the time endeavoring adjust its industries and
finances to the requirements of tariff, tax and
currency laws it would be much to require it to
prepare itself to swallow and digest an heroic dose
of new business legislation.
The latest announcement from the President is
that he intends to push his pet antitrust
through to completion and withsa perfect food OF
bills, Of them weird of purport, Congress gives
evidence of being prepared lend copous aid There
bills aimed to compel competition and others to
prevent it, to say nothing OF Senator James Hamilton
Lewis three extraordinary measures which he char
scterizes the trinity of his abors while in the
Senate"
The mere work of assembling eliminating, or con-
soidatng and perfecting the of proposed legis
lation sufficient to keep Congress here far into the
summer behind it is with its ordinary routine; and
meanwhile the country's business is sadly in need
of rest. Even with peace assured the wisdom Of
fastening such legislation is open 10 serious question:
and the President might prohtably listen the voice
OF the business world concerning it. With war on
hands the for proceeding slowly would be
multiplied In fact, it will probably be found impos-
sible construct intelligent legislation under such
conditions. War costs money, and it would, be no
time for experiment with affecting our busi-

Showing Our Teeth to Mexico.

The United States is about to give Mexieo-Huerta,
Carranza, Villa the whole tribe-an overdue lesson.
We going to show our teeth, to warn them that
the limit of our patience has been reached, that we
will no longer brook their arrogant defiance bred of
too lenent policy that was dictated only by reali-
zation of our superior strength and civilization.
We are not going to war with Mexico, in all proba-
bility certainly we are going to for the rea-
son that the federal forces at Tampco refused to go
through the formality of firing salute to the Amer
ican flag which our admiral demanded as reparaton
for the arrest of marines, and which demand we
gave the form of an ultimatum with extension privi-
leges. If that refusal was to be the cause of war
shells should have been pitched into Tampico FIVE
minutes after the hour first fixed by Admiral Mayo
for the salute had passed.
The sight of our feet in the harbor of Tampico
will be sufficient to produce instant compliance with
that required formality unless indeed, Huerta is de-
liberatey seeking to provoke Intervention, in which
event it may as well come now later, and our
forces on land and sea, backed by Overwhelming
public sentiment fostered by long months of murder,
outrage and depreciation of which American citizens
were the victims, will 60 c1eerfully to battle.
If war is Huerta's game to Admiral Mayo will be
due the credit of forcing his hand. The meager ad-
vices from the actual compel the people of the
United States guess at what has been transpirng.
American officers have been treated with contempt and
probably with insult sufficient to provoke Admiral
Mayo's ultimatum President Wilson's only course
was to uphold him. Admirable as his long forbear-
and steadfastness the side of peace has been
r the face of great provocaon and ceaseess pressure
toward intervention the country will applaud him now,
and the sincere will be his support in the step
he has taken, whether it shall end with naval
demonstration at Tampico or lead to with all
its horrors.
Millions of peace-loving Americans believe that
the administration should long ago have adopted
sterner measures, in the face of the hdeous carnival
OF blood and outrage Haunted in the face of civza-
ton on our borders and in defiance OF our protests
and representations in behalf of European nations
The President believes it is time to act, if
that action war, and the undivided sentiment
OF the American people will support him.

The Rule of Reason.

All the transContinental railroads have
entered into an agreement fixing the
round trip rate of fare from Chicago to
Pacific Coast points at s6250-or the pres
ent one-way rate-during the Panama
exposition at San Francisco and the rate
will hold good during more than half the
year.
The benefit of such an arrangement to
the country at large is obvious. Through
1t, travel will be enormously stimulated
in every section. both East and West and
North and South. Hundreds of thousands
Of persons who have never been across
the Mississippi will be tempted to make
the journey by the low fare and thus
will be brought into contact with regions
unknown to them. Better understand
ings will be fostered between the people
Of geographically remote places, new
business relations are bound to be estab-
lished. and the good effects of the priv
ilege will be traced in many other ways.
Yet, according to a strictly technical
Interpretation of the rate agreement. It
could be classed as a theoretical re
straint of trade" inasmuch as the roads
will be mutually bound to abide by it..
no matter what the difference in mileage
may be. The situation only goes to
show once more the absolute necessity
for applying the rule Of reason to nom
competitive trade agreements.-Philadel

A Call Heard In the Jungle.

In the jungles of South America Col Roosevelt has
heard the whisper of his as that of the pros
pcctve candidate of the Bull Moose party for gov
ernor of New York, and word has come to leaders
OF that party in the Empire State that the colonel will
abandon his projected trip to Spain to attend the
wedding of his son, Kermit, and will come straight
to the United States about the middle OF month
There is nothing beyond this circumstance to indi-
cate that he would accept the nomination. are the
Progressive leaders unanimous to the advisablity
of selecting him to head the ticket. Some of them
including it is said George w. Perkins, chairman of
the National Executive Committee of the Progressive
Party, believe that accepting nomination for gov
would lose the colonel prestige and impair his
strength Presidential candidate in 1910.
The expression of this view of necessity involves
confession the part of Col RooseveIt's friends
Of doubt TO their ability to elect their candidate
for surely there would be impairment of prestige
triumphant election to the governorship of the
Empire State Likewise, it goes without saying that
defeat would be blow to his Presidential aspira-
tons. 1t Is well for the colonerS friends to take
account of such contingency. The Progressive forces
have gained no recruits during Col Roosevelts alb
sence from the country has been proven by recent
election results wherever they have presented can
didate. His return may be rally signal but he may
be depended upon not to leap into a gubernatorial
contest without careful scrutiny of his battle forces

Who Read. Farm Literature.

Nothing is more notable in America
than the amazing spread OF literature
devoted to the uplift, the education and,
II We may be permitted the term, the
civilization Of the farmer. Who reads
all that literature? The fat-dwellers. It's
their gleam of paradise; it's their peep
into a better world. When they die they
picture a heaven that is not contained
in four walls. and they are much less
invited by the golden streets of the new
Jerusalem and the solemn anthema of
the heavenly choir singing most monot-
onously always in tune and never quar-
reling as do other choirs. than by the
glimpse OF an earthly paradise. which
most of them see from the grimy win
dows of an interurban. and the few lucky
ones from the tonneau OF the latest

APRIL.

Arrirs here. the wayvard las,
Smiling through a blur of tears;
Where her dainty footsteps pas,
See. the fresh young gras appear.
Clustered violets have sprung
All along the woodland ways,
Clear and sweet the bluebird's runz
Changes on his roundelzyS
April's dressed the Shiyering trees
In a leafy robe f green
Queens might envy gowns ike these,
Fashioned all of emerald sheen.
April fckle Is Of mood,
First a laugh and then 4 fruvn,
SAncy oft. and ofttimes rude,
Next her tears are showering down.
But she's winsome when she's gay
And her sorrows last not long;
Little tempers blow away
And she breaks into q song
PrJthee, April, though it's vain.
Doth thy going cause US grief,
We would have thee yet remain,
Thirty days are all too brief!
