lions will tell the story. The history
of our politics shows that the control
of the lower house is easily shifted
and that only twice during the past
ten years have the Democrats OBJ
tanned control. The election of two
succeeding Democratic congresses is
a gigantic task. and should enlist the
services of every earnest Democrat
in every Congressional district of the
country from now until election.
THE imperative need of the hour
is to make every voter realize the
importance of the outcome of this
years elections. If you favor the con-
tinuation of the splendid work already
accomplished by this administration.
it is your duty to lend your hand In
the work of a campaign of education
in your district. The people must
know what the Democratic party Is
doing; the people must know what it
is going to do"

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
Editor Herald :

Editor Herald:
In the anti Wilson administration
newspapers there appears a lengthy
article written by James Creelman.
a so-called great war correspondent.
According to this article. Mr.. Creel.
man has made a thorough investi
cation of Mexican affairs, and from
his observations feels competent to
Judge and criticize severely the adj
ministratiOn because President Will
son does not understand the situation
as well as Mr. Creelman, who says
he has made thorough investiga.

How we'll Mr.. Creelman is qualified
to speak on Mexican affairs, the fol.
lowing article Ell lmpericial, Mexico
City of Feb. 49,: I'VE have been
informed that Mr.. James Creelman,
the North American correspondent
who came here few days ago, has
returned to New York. where he lives
after having gained but slight I'M
preston of political affairs which
now occupy the mind Of our people,
LAS has been stated before. this
correspondent on his arrival declared
that he was after exact information
about Mexican affairs to publish the
same in New York papers, and that
he would call on President Huerta il

about our affairs. and reserved ex.

"Since then nobody knows what Mr..
Creelman has been doing. BY his
hasty departure, however, it can be
seen that this city was not a good

point for the information he was
after, hence his sudden departure
for New York. We are not aware
that Mr.. Creelman called on President
Huerta nor that he asked for an
interview"
Now, you can see from this article
that Mr.. Creelman at best spent but
five or six days in Mexico, yet he
pretends to know more about Mexico
and Mexican affairs than President
Wilson. who has information from
our consuls and other representatives
in MexicO-men who have resided in
that country for years, and certainly
ought to know more about its affairs
than a war correspondent can posi-.
bly, know after a visit of five or six
days in the Capital.
Yet this sort of stuff goes into all
the Yellow papers, and on the
strength of such fiimsy, unsupported
evidence our government is being
urged to enter upon a course entirely
different from that justified by the
real facts.
OF course, the Wilson administra.
ton should reverse itself. The direct
beneficiaries If such reversal would
be the men who send out the Greet.
mans write up just such articles as
he produced, in the writing of. which
the trip to Mexico was a needless
expense. The fact that such reversal
might cost thousands of American
lives and hundreds of millions of
American dollars cuts no ice with the
Yellow crowd 1t matters not to them
who pays the cost of the fray as long
as their own pockets will bulge from
the results of it.

Billions in Automobile Industry.

The official of the state Of New
York, who is best informed as to cor
ditions in the motor car building AMI
operating industry works out, link by
link, a chain of evidence which. in
his opinion. justifies the conclusion
that lat the present rate of increase
the gross expenditure upon all branch
es of motoring ION landD will, before
the present year is out. reach the
enormous sum of over three billion
dollars" That is for the United States
alone. He also estimates that at least
100000 inhabitants of the country
are directly or indirectly supported
by the manufacture and use Of motor
cars; that to offset costs to the public
from roadway maintenance, the states
of the Union now gather annually not
less than $9.50OOOO in license fees;
and that, restricted as Is the class of
owners of automobiles when numer-
ically considered and set over against
non.owners, nevertheless the econom-
ic profits of the new industry arr
widely distributed. and labor profits
greatly through the employment fur
nished by the perfected invention.
So that while undoubtedly the capital
invested in motors by their owners
has in many cases been for a time
taken from and denied to older and
more historic forms of industry.
nevertheless it is not so largely vast
ed as some authors of jeremiads
would. imply.
Much of the lamentation based on
rise of the motor-car industry and
it's worldwide success comes from
critics who conceive of owners of
cars as investing in and operating
their machines for pleasure solely.
Pleasure is a motive. but not the only
one: and precisely as the more en-
durinG serviceable. educational as
poets Of ownership of cars are seen
by purchasers and by a critical public,

The Wishkah Road.

The street committee of the city
council have got busy on the Wishkal,
road matter, and it is very probable
that at the meeting tomorrow night
the change on the road leading from
b street will be definitely settled.
Mrs. Stewart has signified her will.
ingness to give the right of way for
the road provided it is placed where
1t will not occupy her waterfront.
This gives a road leaving B street at
\ slight angle. and will permit of a
grade not exceeding per cent, where.
rs the present road has grade
variously estimated by engineers of
from IL to IA per cent.
Commissioner Locke would have
preferred the road closer to the river,
which would have given 1-2 per
cent grade. and so would the city, but
to take this route would mean con-
demnatiOn suit with the resultant de-
lay and expense. The compromise.
II effected tomorrow night, will pro-
badly cause the county commission
ers to award the contract for the five
miles of county road at their meeting
Monday next.
To build this new road. the city has
about $4,000 in the county treasury.
as the percentage of general road
taxes paid by the city. and this fund
will be used. instead of making an

cost, as is provided for in the new
law for arterial roads.

Wrong by a Million.

The New York World, in a review
OF business and financial conditions
In New Jersey announces the decis-
lon Of Julius Forstman, a manufas-
turer of wooden goods at Passaic. to
construct 100000 plant for the
manufacture of worsteds.
This announcement carries special
Significance as when the wooden goods
schedule was under consideration by
the Congress, Forstman was one of
the manufacturers who appeared be-
fore the committee and insisted with
great vigor that il the rates proposed
by the Democratic party were adopted
he would be obliged to 60 out of bus
mess. He explained that in his early
life he was a manufacturer of wooden
goods in Germany, and that after
learning the business in that country
he came to the United States and
established the plant at Passaic.
Forstman, representing the other
wooden manufacturers Of the country,
prepared a wooden schedule which he
asked the Congress to adopt. Among
socalled wooden experts Forstman
was referred to during the tariff dis
,cussion as "the man with the last
word on wooden schedule" In other
words, he was regarded as the high
est authority in the wooden manufac-
turing business.
As it turns out. this New Jersey
manufacturer of worsteds not only
did not have to close his mill at Pas
sale, but he discovered, according to
the admission which he now makes,
that he can prosper under the new
tariff even to larger degree than
he did under the old law. And so he
proposes to show his confidence in
the new wooden schedule-which he
said would put him out of business
by erecting a new plant for the manu-
fasturing of worsteds at cost OF
$1.OO0.000
Instances of this kind are becoming
SO common that the Republicans are
losing all enthusiasm over PROPOSE
tions to maks the tariff an issue in
the coming Congressional campaign.
