Mediation is the Big Event.
Observation-Disclosures. ..

Tho biggest lump of sugar in the
government teacup las been furnish
ed By Argentine, Brazil and Chile
know as the \. b. G. mediators. The
offer of these South American COM
tries to use their good offices in adj
justing our differences with Mexico
has been welcomed by Washington.
According to the Hague convention.
when mediation occurs after the
commencement of hostilties. it caus-
es no interruption to the military
operations in progress, unless there
be an agreement to the contrary"
Since the fact has sunk in upon Mex
leo that the United States does not
propose to be trifled with any longer
there has been a noticeable change
of front, and the Official relations

the countries have been recalled from

he wanted enacted and present il TO
the commission for consideration
which he said would be done imme-

to grant the franchise he offered to
have the maximum rate fixed at
cents per kilowatt hour, cents lower
than the present rate, with mini

thought that these big cuts will be
sufficient indu-,ment to the voters of

The Five Per Cent Increase.
There is evidence that in the case
of the interstate commerce commits
sion granting the request of the rail
roads for . per cent increase in rates,
there will be nothing short of an
explosion in congress, as a number
OF senator's who specialize in going

man declares that he will fight the

The Crisis in Gum Chewing.
An acute condition is likely to
make it's effect known among gum
chewing stenographers, ribbon clerks
and effeminate young men, as it is
found by the Pan-American bureau
at Washington that there are O,OOO,-
600 inveterate chewers of gum in the
United States. Chicle may be Greek
to most of these people, but to make
it clear it is explained that chicle is
the sap of the sapote tree, technically
known as sapota zapotilla, and these
Spanish jaw-breaking words explain
just how most of our chewing gum
is made.
tant, yet how about the sapota zapo-
tilla? If anything should happen in
Mexico that would cut off this gum
supply it would lead to complications
quite as far-reaching as those other
affairs we have with the Huertaites,
the Carranzas and Villas. 1t takes
100000 900 packages of gum an
nually to run the United States and
Mexico has to supply practically all
of the sap of the sapote. With this
in mind, the gum chewers will wish
for the success of the mediation plan
as proposed by the A. B. C. powers.
The Dollar Dinner.
1t is said that the reason why lot
of leading Democrats in Washington
went to Ohio to attend dollar Din
