STAYING THE SWORD.

By conceding that the voluntary
withdrawal OF Huerta from Mexico
represents an achievement for which
the highest honor is due President
Wilson, the Independent press of the
country undoubtedly reflects the opin-
ion OF all patriotic and intellectually
honest Americans. If nothing more
is accomplished, President Wilson's
Mexican policy has brought govern
ment by assassination" into practical,
as well as moral, disrepute among the
nations within the zone of American
influence and responsibility.
The result of the presidents firm re-
fusal to recognize the beneficiary of
Cif not the conniver att the murder of
the principle that such methods do not
succeed. Attempts of the kind are
much less likely to be made in the face
of an example indicating that the civ
ilized world will not permit them to
succeed. Criminals carefully con-
slider their chances of getting away
with IT."
But it seems more than probable the
administrations Mexican policy will
accomplish its larger purpose also.
Prospects are excellent for the early
establishment OF a constitutional gov
eminent at Mexico City. which will
have the courage and the power to
face the land question. This issue met
and settled, Mexico will be on a per
manent footing.

Questions and Answers.
Neither; it is nerve exhaustion. 1t

ID. T. w. writes: Please explain the
difference between tumor and cancer.
Reply.
Tumor means literally a swelling.
IL is loosely applied to any swelling,
or wart. Cancer is a malignant
new growth or a malignant degenera-
tlon or tumor. Tumors may do
harm merely by their size or position
embarrassing other organs of func-
tons. Cancers poison the host to death
or eat away tissue and permit hem
orrhage. Tumors are almost always
amenable to operation; they do not
necessarily require any treatment.
Cancer must be operated on as the
only hope.

Her Opinion of Him,

Her husband wins her highest praise
When he is not where he may hear;
She speaks about his manly ways,
His splendid traits, his lack of fear;
She proudly magnifes his worth
And speaks as If he were a saint,
Referring TO his noble birth
And lack OF any yellow faint.
When she's at hcme and he is there
And no one else may overheRr
She scolds him for his lack of care,
He ceases TO be great and dear;
She speaks about his lowly birth,
Nor ever shows the least restraint;
He ceases to have any worth
And she forgets that he's saint

New Written Language laugh. Turks.

Constantinople, July 31.-With a
view of spreading education. a new
system of writing has been introduced
in Turkey. This is being taught to
the unlettered army recruits. 1t not
only reduces the period for mastering
the written language to a compare
lively short one, but brings this lam
guage within the mental limitations
of the lower class.
Turkish writing has been an accom-
plishment of the few, since the people
followed agriculture and left business
to the hands of the educated Arme-
mans.
The old system resembles stenogra-
ply. with three separate and distinct
signs for each sound, according to
their position in the word written.
