tients and others. AS one-ffth Of all
the females in the United States are
engaged in industry of one sort or
another, il is safe to say that to
nearly one-fifth Of the women OF this
country bad language Is not rare
enough to be shocking.
But it does appear-and that fact
alone has importance-that DR..
Davis took care of her work about
as we'll as man could have done
under like circumstances. It is even
said that the fact that she is a
woman caused her to be received by
her unfortunate charges with some
thing more OF respect than had she
been a map--a fact which the suf-
fragists may consider insulting.
This condition has some impor-
lance, although 1t cannot be said to
be astonishing. Surely very few
people have doubted that a woman
of the right sort could do this work
at least better than man of the
wrong sort.

Uncomfortable.

England is getting uncomfortable
close to the yellow peril" not in
the hysterical. but the actual sense
of that abused term. A shipload
Of Hindus has been turned back from
Vancouver. British. Columbia, and
with them will return other Hindus
to preach propaganda against Eng
land in India.
Now. India is Britain's plague
spot. Despite the admirable nature
of British rule there, not much pro-
gress has been made In tanning the
resentment which has its base in
race and questions of racial nature.
No one ever feels certain that he
will not wake up some morning and
read that a yellow mutiny has
rolled its tide over India.
The trouble is that when a mutiny
once starts, it rolls over the land
like an epidemic OF disease. Like
disease. 1t beats down caste and
shade OF color. and amalgamates the
whole dark and brooding horde In
bloody antagonism to the white man.
incidentally, the incident at Van
couver reminds us Of the warning
of Sir Edward Grey. Minister for
Foreign Affairs, that Great Britain
had best be circumspect in its treaty
with Japan and its sympathy with
that island. since our own trouble
with the Mikado might be followed
by trouble for Britain with yellow
races elsewhere.
Chickens have come home to roost
sooner than expected. The Hindu
protest may be only a furry, and il
may light conf1agration. That is
the uncomfortable feature of impe-
rialism, and mixing 1t with other
races.

Scientific Bo,,rbonisn.

Scientific fanaticism, as evidenced
IN extreme eugenics, has found foil
In scientific Bourbonism, which
seems to learn nothing and forget
nothing in science so far as medicine
was concerned. The fact was eX-
hibited at the convention of the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City, and more recently in a
gathering Of the alienists of the ma
ton at Chicago. At both Of these
gatherings two or three mossbacks,
medically speaking, decried the SEN
sible means being tried to improve
the physique of children. born and
unborn, and fouted many Of the
proved medical discoveries of the
past few years.
1t is sometimes hard to say
whether the medical fanatic or the
medical Bourbon does most harm 10
society. We can often guard against
the fanatic, since his actions and
doctrines are so ultra that he gener-
ally gets into print. is duly hit on the
head by public opinion, and retires
for spell to innocuous desuetude.
The Bourbon is tougher PROPOSE
ton. He generally is intrenched in
the esteem Of many good people with
his own tendencies. He has always
the advantage of inertia, of the
established order, and how powerful
that is. is illustrated in the difficulty
of securing innovations OF any kind.
The one weapon with which effec-
tually to fight both these types is
the weapon of education, duly
welded by publicity. AS people
learn more and more to Judge for
themselves they are less apt to be
misled by faddists. They increase
their capacity for singing out the
cotton from the wool in medical
matters, and in doing so increase
their own effectiveness for their
wives and their children, not to men
ton themselves. We won't CONQUER
the Bourbon and the fanatic at once.
but progress toward their eradica-
ton is visible.

menta, rather-with the clothing
worn by women. To use candid Ian
guage, the ladies have little over
chest, arms. etc, to obstruct circu-
lation Of air. About the clothing
that is concealed, we suspend aualy-
sis or comment. Far be it from those
who are not experts to attempt ex-
plantations OF this sacred character.
There is no valid reason why men
should not, relatively, be garbed as
comfortably as women. All that
stands in the way Is fashion in the
shape Of styles handed down by our
forefathers and changed from year
to year by tailors whose chief utter
est is not comfort. but profit.
Suppose men did go about in one
piece suits. That would be a de-
cided Improvement over the garb of
Adam, as we'll as over the garb of
the present day. And what fetching
creations and effects could ingenuity
devise with even this limited scope.
The grace to which the one-piece
suit could be made to adjust itself
is almost limitless.
Sad to relate, however, there is
little danger that the styles will re-
lent and that men will be permitted
to enjoy summer In clothes of sensi-
BILE lightness and texture They
speak shudderingly Of tyranny when
It comes to women's clothes. But
there is no sartorial tyranny on earth
as eXacting as the styles created for
sweltfring man and boy. and no per-
sons more cowardly in hesitating to
rebel against those styles.

Compromise With Henrico.

~, annexation will be delayed for
mouths. probably for year; that the
annexed territory will mark time I'M
til the matter is settled. and that,
win or lose, Richmond will be de-
prived of the 1915 taxes from that
territory. An agreement to appro-
pirate 100000 for the county roads,
as suggested by Judge Campbell,
would cause the withdrawal of the
appeal and settle the annexation
question at once. We lose nothing
by agreeing to the county's terms.

same time we do justice to the coun-

The New Diplomacy justified.

ms new Diplomacy JuStuleO.
The Mexican problem has not been
solved. 1t will not be solved for
many weary months, and probably
years. Patience and craftsmanship
have not yet accomplished all they
set out to accomplish. and those who
of revolution as If conjured up by
magic wand are laying up for them
selves bitter disappointment We
still have work to do in Mexico.
We may admit this much of the
indictment brought against the Will
son policy by his enemies in their
frenzied efforts, stopping at nothing.
TO minimize the great triumph of the
man of patience and forbearance and
adamantine will. We may admit this
much without joining in the spirit of
the criticism, without admitting the
essential truth of the indictment.
without losing sight of the animus
and partisanry back Of it all. We
may admit this much with the knowl-
edge that, Notwithstanding the ad-
mission, the Presidents policy of
recognizing no government founded
on usurpation and murder" was tri-
umphantly indicated when Made
ro's assassin and Mexico's dictator
abdicated his power and fled from
the country he had plunged into
civil war.
Huerta's flight is a triumph for
the Wilson policy, not because It
brings peace-for it has not yet
brought peace-but because it has
made known to Mexico and TO all
America that in this hemisphere a
government founded on "usurpation
and murder" cannot stand. 1t is a
triumph for the Presidents policy,
because ii is proof to revolutionists
in Mexico that revolution, to be
successful, must be revolution of
the people. 1t is triumph because
it brings conviction that a barrack-
room conspiracy, ending in the as
sassination of the constitutional
ruler. can never be a success again in
Mexico. 1t is a triumph, because
now all factions and all leaders of
factions in Mexico know that, unless
they have regard for human rights
and national and international NOR
ality, they can never hope for vic
tory or long-continued power 1t is
triumph because, whatever the i'm
mediate future may hold for Mex
leo, the last ssassin-President has
ruled in Mexico City. Therell never
be another Diaz to rob for the Glen
tifcos; therell never be another
Huerta to assassinate and rob for
power and for profit. Therell never
be another President overthrown by
shot In the back.
A triumph for Wilson? Yes: but
a greater triumph for Mexico. How
ever slow the process and however
great the courage and patience re-
quired, the land of revolution is des-
tined to be the land OF constitutional
government. The fall of Huerta
brings conviction; 1t has justified, if
II has not marked the complete sue
cess of, "the steady pressure Of NOR
al force" upon Mexico and its trail
tors.
AS for the United States, it is still
at peace with the whole earth.
