SENSIBLE RECESS

The taking of a recess in the medi- atton proceedings is a sensible thing. Although 1t may not be possible there after to reach a satisfactory agree nent matters are at stage in Mexico at the present time which make it pos stble to put an entirely different phase on the situation within short time. The break among the rebels offers em- barrassment just now and upon that portion of the Mexican people a great deal depends whsn it comes to adjust ing the tnternat difficulties in that country.
 With the adjustment of the rebel troubles and the resumption of the successful operations of their forces under Villa at zacatecas and Obre- gon at Guadalajara the tightening of the net about Mexico City must make it's impression upon the federal dele Sates- Further and stronger evidence of the inevitable is bound to have it's effect and encourage the sanctioning ef temporary peaee establishing gov ernmenf even though it has at its head one who has onstitutionalist inclina- tions. With the adjustment of the rebel break such one represents the stronger element in that republic and the one which Is ultimately going to control if their past successes form any basis fag judgment.
 1t is just such a recess as has now been taken by the mediaters which permits of sober consideration of the entire situation, It gives time for due reflection on the need and value of compromise and while failure seems to he indicated 1t is highly commend- able that the effort is net to be aban- dened while there seems to be the least Possibility of a chance to reach a sstdsment.

MODIFIED eEAMEN,e stIi

The appearasaee in the house of the La Fottetts seanen's bill shows that 1t has undergone a number of import ant changes since it left it's author The changes are of a type which are calculated to remove 1t from the very radical class of Legislation to the req sonable, and thus give it a greater possibility of becoming a law. The first object of the bill is to insure greater protection to life when occa- sion makes it necessary to leave a vessel at sea, on the lakes or other bodies of water, As first introduced 1t required that ablebodied seamen take charge of the HfeboaIs. two being re- euired for each one and every pas- sengerf provided with Hfeboat accom- modations, Such meant the mainten- ance of . large crew whose services would be required only in case of a disaster. This would mean a large increase in the ship employees and ex- penses without guaranteeing any greater safety than could be furnish ed through the training of able bodied men employed in other capacities about the ship.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Other Side.

MT. Editor.-Peter W. Collins in closing his address attacking Social ism called upon the jury {the audi ence) for a decision Now no fair jury could think of rendering a deci- sion without hearing both sides. and anyone who has listened to evidence knows that. no matter how clear and evident a case may seem to have been presented, that when the other side is heard there may be good reason for a change of opinion.
 The K. of c. and Mir. Collins would not accept our challenge to debate and thus refused the other side a hear ing. Now MT. Edit-F I would that you allow ~ through your columns to present the other side of the subject.
 MT. Collins named many socialist writers and claimed that they were not workers and that socialism did not come from nor represent the in- terests nor sentiments of the workers. Many whom he mentioned and many more whom he might have mentioned are and have been as closely con- nected with the workers as is Mr. Col lins. MT. Collins has not been a work CT for years, but is and has been Hv- ing on the workers. Most of the men he mentioned have been living less directly off the workers than he, and so are in a position to act more inde- pendently and with less of personal interest But supposing that many of Abraham Lincoln, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips ct. al. slaves; but was not their work the more effective, not less efrective, be- cause they were not slaves? What ever may have been the e-eling at the time, today we give them honor
 MT. Collins at the same time said that the Socialist movement was an Atheistio movement. Now have written before and repeat. The so- ciaiist party is not religious. but an economic political party. It neither asks as to or pretends to dictate to It's members as to their religious
 views. Let me quote Karl Kautsky, "One may be good Christian, and, still feel the warmest sympathy for William Liebknecht says. Socialism as such has nothing to do with reli- zion. Every man has the right to think and believe what he will, and no man has the right to modest am other in his thoughts or his beliefs or their acount." Now no doubt there are many atheists. also there are many s sChristians, yes and Mohammedane, and Buddists and 6hintoists and fol- lowers of Confucius in the Socialist
 scientac socialist % beiievIns s that s tai ail laws of progress, moral and physical,
 are inherent in nature, and accepting
 the theory or evolution, believes that socialism Is the next step towards economic betterment of the people; while the Christian socialist believing that God works through natural laws, and uses movements to accomplish his purpose sees in the Socialist movement Gods instrument to eman- cipate the people from the present conditions which make it impossible to live Christian life
 Now, I admit that many, Socialists are Atheists. Monists, or Materialists and Mir Collins seeks cunningly to arouse prejudice and animesity by claiming that a man must be an Atheist to be Socialist; which is not true.
 AS matter of fact there are two progressive movements in the world

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Every Mind Has It. World


 Eery mind has its own world. There are as many worlds as there are peo- pie
 What the universe really is no one knows; 1t is a vain question, for Ho- body will ever find outj the only mat to me,
 So many men, so many worlds. To be sure. there is what William James called "a blooming confusion of con sciousness:" that is, there is a myriad multitude of things in the outside but after all we make our world what we will, just as the architect is free to create his building from all the material he finds.
 The late Henri Peincare, who re- ceived the Belyai prize from the Hun Garian academy as the most eminent mathematician In the world, aid: What Is not thought is nought; since we can think only thoughts. and every word we use in talking about things stands for a thought; to assert there is anything else than thought Is 8 tory teaches us" he continues, that life is only an episode between two eterntties of death, and even in this episode thought endures but a mo- ment. Thought is but flash in the midst of 8 long night. But that flash is everything" .:---.
 Whereupon another says:
 What a fool. then, am I to think that any outward event can over whelm me!
 What all men can do to me is noth- ing: it matters only what do to my self.
 ITO soul that knows realities there can be no tragedy no collapse. no fail ure. In that moment when the volcano spews upon him, the lightning sears him or men burn him or cruelty him he inwardly laughs. They cannot reach his world.

VALUABLE OBJECT LESSON.

When the statement is made that the health of the United States troops at Vera Cruz is better than that Of the army elsewhere. it speaks volumes for the sanitary measures which have been introduced into that section of the western hemisphere by this coiln- try. Death from disease Is one of the great causes for raising the mortality records where military or industrial operations are underway unless proper attention is given to the sanitary con- ditiops. The cleaning up of Vera Cruz was one of the first things attempted following the restoration of peaceful conditions in the city. How well and thoroughly it has been done is reflect ed by the health reports from our troops.
 It was this same kind of a policy which made possible the construction of the Panama canal and which has brought about such excellent results in improving the health conditions in Cuba It is the salvation of the cities in that part of the world if they will but realize the great benefits which are to be gained therefrom and put the principles into operation. What has been done in Vera Cruz, while not what might be attempted if there was to be permanent occupation, is no more ~than what would result to the benefit of many other Central American cities. When the unhealthful places of yes terday are compared with the same ones today after undergoing sanitary treatment, there is a lesson provided which cannot be disregarded if there is a disposition to replace disease breeding with healthful conditions.

THE FORD EXPERIMENT.

It was only a short time ago that the country was discussing the gener- olls announcement by Henry Ford that thereafter the lowest paid of his many thousand employees would receive at least five dollars a day. It was a rad ical step from which he expected greater efficiency. That he proved his point is indicated by his explanation of the laying off of large numbers this spring because the plan he put into operation has resulted in such great ly increased production.
 Whether the idea will prove a sue- cess in the opinion of the workman who is now laid off and who has not anticipated such a reduction in his income, remains to be seen. As the Springfield Republican well says: MT. Ford seems in a position to maintain very useful experiment station in economics. But the most immediate point which comes up is the fact that high wages do not remove the neees- sity of preparing for rainy day. By the genteel standard of living to which he has been undertaking to raise his employees, they would be no better of than before this increase of pay, and
 so far as saving money goes they would be worse eff, if one may judge
 by the average American family which has just reached point where it feels that it really must have an autonro- bile. The Ford system has not beer in operation long enough to have had a very great educational effect as yet if in the future periodical reductions should turn adrift men used to ex- pensive living and to supernorrnaI pay the efect on labor conditions would
 be disturbing"
 It Is quite evident that MT. Ford's plan is in an experimental state ana it is likely to be given much serious study before it is put into effect h, I many manufacturers on as elaborate a scale.
