vering forces in battle. What would
be the fate of country with such a
man at the head of It's civil affairs?
The great difficulty in Mexico is that
the pendulum has been swinging from
one extreme to the other. Diaz, a prac-
teal man of action, was deposed by Ma
dero. a bookman and a dreamer. Then
Madero was deposed either by or for
Huerta, another practical man of action.
Hence the unhappy state Of ehe country
The salvation of Mexico demands that
the pendulum shall not swing back to
q bookman and dreamer. Madero. with
the purest patriotism and the best inten-
lions, was as incapable of riding the
storm then raging in Mexico as the man
in the moon. He was undermined In his
own household without a suspicion of
what was going on. He would not have
recognized the conspiracy hareoring I'M
der his own roof II he had met it III
hallway with bell on. So down he went,
and conditions in the country became
worse than before he took charge.
It is apparent now that the overthrow
of Diaz was a misfortune for the coun-
try. He had ruled firmly but success
fully, and Mexico under his rule had
made notable advances, industrially and
otherwise. He was as good judge OF
what progress was possible to the peo-
pie, and what the pace should be, as any
Mexican then in Office.

course is run. His record Is made. But
he has shown what Is necessary for the

A Millionaire Discovered.

One of the effects of the income tax
law is that 1t has led to the discovery of
number of millionaires hitherto IN
known to fame. And this in spite of
the inviolable confidence with which
income returns are held. Sometimes the
unhappy and unfortunate man, burdened
by the weight Of millions, has betrayed
himself by confessins to others than the
internal revenue collectors that he is
handicapped by millions, being moved to
this admission by the necessity of MAX
Ing out tax returns. a dispatch from
San Francisco says:
From income tax returns it is learned
that California's richest man is a modest
rancher. This moneyed man Of mystery,
whose income for 1918 reached nearly
s., JO0,O Op, declared his intention Of paying
the government an income tax of more
than $4,000 which Is believed to be the
largest individual tax to be paid west OF
Chicago. He is said to be the owner of
T. 10.OOO-acre cattle ranch near Tres
Pinos, in San Benito county,
Here is man whose misfortune. though
it may have been suspected by his neigh
bors. has not been noised abroad in the
country. 1t was believed that all the
dread millionaires had been rounded up
at Newport, P1ttsourSh ana IN the To-
contico Hills, but here is one who has
been discovered in a. county which per-
haps several persons in the east did not
know existed.
No doubt there are many secrets hid
den in the income tax returns. If &C
cess could be had to them it might be
shown that many men who are now
suffering under the suspicion of being
millionaires, just because they hive like
1t, are innocent.

Who Spread the Molasses ?

1t will be unfortunate for the country IL
the Panama tolls question degenerates
into a political controversy. Now that II
has been raised again. it should be tried
and decided on it's merits and national
aspects.
As reply to the quotation from the
Baltimore platform made by the eppo-
nents of free tolls repeal. the President
friends quote from the Congressional
Record to show that free tolls carried
by a vote in the House made UP of a
majority of republicans. That way lie
mere pickering and confusion.
The point at this good hour is, why
should a law enacted after full discus
sion, and Endorsed by two of the parties
contesting for the presidency two years
ago, be repealed? Had Mr.. Taft been re-
elected he would neither have proposed
nor consented to repeal. Mr.. Roosevelt
as President would have stood pat on the
law. Mr.. Wilson as a candidate lndorsed
the law, and gave no sign of a change OF
front until recently. When, and just why,
did he change? Democrats and republl-
cans alike would be glad of an answer to
that question, if it would be compatible
with the public interests.
The Congressional Record stands. That
is open to enybody's inspection. Not so
open is the Baltimore platform, which
was constructed in private. There is dis
pute about the canal tolls plank Of that
instrument 1t was struggled in, some
say. 1t was accepted as the other planks
were, others say.
The matter is not open to Il congress
sienal investigation. or one might be or
dered. Nearly everything else has been
investigated. But such an investigation
is not necessary. Next to Mr.. Bryan, the
most influential member of the committee
responsible for the Baltimore platform
was James A. O'Gorman of New York.
and he is now a leading figure in the
fight against the repeal proposition. Why,
then, in his speech on the subject, which
Is awaited with great interest by both
sides, should not Senator O'Gorman give
so much of the history of that Baltimore
business as may not be protected by the
condolences of the committee room
Whence came the free tolls plank, and
who, if anybody, in committee opposed
it's incorporation into the platform? In
the open convention. as all know, there
was not a cheep against it.
This information may not be important,
but presented at this time it would be
most interesting If it is true that free
tolls is a violation of the national honor
and should never have been voted by
Congress, then somebody at Baltimore
spread molasses. And, strangely enough,
Mr.. Wilson himself was among the mil
lions caught. He was familiar with the
terms of the HayPauncefote treaty, and
also with the law exempting our coast
wise shipping, and when over both was
spread the sweet statement that we were
entitled to protect and foster our own

so voters who swarmed to the lure.

ders which its enthusiastic friends al
legged it would. 1t has cheapened the
carriage of parcels to such an extent that
one of the great express companies has
been unable to meet the competition and
the other express companies have deeply
cut their charges and are seriously feel
ing the competition.
The recent action of the Postmaster
General toward charging the scope of the

producers and consumers together and
thus fulfilling the prophecies made be-
fore and at the time of the inauguration

II Is an amoilouS PROJECT and perhaps
may be developed into business of mag
nitude. AS it develops it must still fur

competition is unfair in various ways, in
that the governments postal plant is
used, and that the charges of rentals
dividends and the like which have to be
figured on by private or quasi-public dis
tributng agencies do not have to be con-
sidered by the government. The railroad
companies complain that they are forced
to carry parcel post matter at cost, and
in some cases at loss. But the parcel
post has come to stay. The express COM
panies were so naughty when they were
supreme that they seem to have few
friends who mourn their plight.

an ambition may be lodged in the back

the place is wholly beyond his reach.
That he is a bandit is not so greatly
the question. In this country a former

which he thinks himself qualified. And

the New York Herald.

From Tue New York Herald.
Instead of wabbling into a civil war it
looks as if the .Asquith ministry was
merely going to wabble out of office.
The principal reason for this belief is
found in the cry of misunderstanding
raised by the premier and his ministers
in their attempt to eNtinguish the flames
set by their military moves in ireland.
For when ministry attempts thus to
excuse itself it is merely confessing 4
blunder.
An amazing feature of the crisis. and
one we'll calculated to bring the Asquith
cabinet to Il pause. is found in the state
ment from Belfast that 10 per cent of
the officers of the infantry now quar-
tered in Ulster would refuse to serve in a
campaign against the province, while
the others, while still loyal to Ulster, are
unable to sacrifice their pay.

Loyalty of the British Army.

From the New York World.
When the American civil war began
scores of officers who had been educated
and trained at the expense of the ma
tional government resigned their commits
sions and rendered. their services to the
Confederate cause. But the private
soldiers and non-commissioned officers
remained true to the Union. Whatever
their officers did. not a regiment of regu-
lars wavered. They were the backbone
Of the northern armies.
The tories who predict that the rank
and file of the British army will follow
the example of some of their officers and
refuse to serve IN Ulster are likely to be
disappointed. The officers Of the British
service arc recruited largely from tory
families: but the rank and file are from
the plain people" as Lincoln used to
call them. There Is no instance in mod
eru history i'll which common soldiers and
common sailors have nlutinicd against
liberal government.

Parcel Post Experiment.

When the parcel post was in the stage

of the system that it would bring pro-
ducers in the country and consumers in
the city in contact and that the high
cost of living would be corrected by
jumping over the heads of middlcmcn or
by lessening their profits by reason of
the new competition. The parcel rost
system directly after its inauguration
demonstrated its usefulness, but 1t has
not vet produced all the benefits that
were prophes!ed for it. That it has not
done so is no argument against the sys-
