LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Raising The Firearms Embargo

MT. Editor: I wonder how many Bull letin readers remember how enraged our northern Americans were when France and England showed signs of recognizing the Southern rebels? I wonder how many of the democrats that voted for Wilson are proud of his partial recognition of lot of murder ous bandits and rebels in Mexico by raising the embargo on firearms? There is no use of more wonders" as wonders they may never cease, but let me wonder once more, how long it will be before the arms now being sold in this country to Mexican rebels will be turned on the United States?
 Possibly when such a contingency arises as it certainly will, Secretary have a drink of Piff1e brand-grape juice.
 What a beautiful thing it is for a. school teacher diplomat who sees that his so-called policy is failure, who sees that the entire world is laughing at the senseless diplomacy employed in the Mexican affair, who sees that in spite of failure to recognize acting president Huerta, that gentleman keeps right along at his job of being president. What a beautiful. beautiful move 1t is to arm the bandits, robbers and rebels of cattle stealing territory, so that the job of president Huerta will be harder to fill.
 am not sure but Huerta will still be holding down the Mexican job when Wilson has returned to the land of "skeeters" and the grape-juice peace-at any price secretary of state is selling carpenters" or something else at auction.
 When General Jesse Coxey of Ohio starts for Washington with his half million unemployed workingmen- as he threatens to do, I wonder if Pres ident Wilson will remove any embar- go?
 Day by day we see plainer the great mistake made in November 1912 by the enemies of the free trade peace at any price party. Day by day the American people are learning that the occupant of the White House should be a red blooded American. Not a dreamer. There is one Amer ican who in the past three months has done more to draw together the people of the western world especial ly those great prosperous republics south of us than any other Brazil Argentine, Peru and smaller South American republics have been taught in the past few weeks that The Mon roe Doctrine was for them and not against them, and just as soon as the great American people who are op- posed to democracy in it's pork bar rel peanut policy style make up their mind that they have got to have

MEXICAN UNCERTAINTY.

Just what course affairs may take in Mexico following the new attitude which has been manifested by this country in the lifting of the embargo IS going to be watched with keen in- tereSt. It is a year since ProViD >ta1 President Huerta took up the task of administering the affairs of that re public. How he assumed his position and how he has conducted himself until he now is the dictator rather than the president of Mexico is a mat ter of recent history. He has profited from the disorga anization of the rev. olutionary forces and he has suffered greatly from the refusal of this coun- try to grant him recognition. It is because of this that he has been crip- pied financially but he has not failed to use every opportunity for the ad- Vancement of his own personal power How hard he is pressed to maintain his control is indicated by his seizure of supplies and fuel at Vera Cruz for the operation of the railroads.
 Tn maintaining control and holding onto the reins of government as long as he has. he has greatly surprised the close followers of the situation How long he can continue to hold out in his present financial condition is as much a. problem a s ever in view of the staying powers which he has man ifested. The effect the constitution alists will have upon his rule aided by the opportunity to get all the arms and ammunition they can pay for is bound to tax his full strength. While his attitude towards the rebels has been a waiting one the fact that some hard fighting is indicated points to a quick change or none at all. Yet what will follow Huerta is as uncertain as ever.

EVERY DAY R EFlECT0N
The Struggle For Money

The only reason we want money is that we may buy cage. As soon as a man gets rich he procureS a house with a yard and a high iron fence around it. If a visitor enters the yard and gets by the bulldog he still has difficulty in breaking into the mansion. A butler meets him at the door to see if his clothes look fit, and a secretary meets him in the hall to make sure he is not after money.
 When a woman acquires money her one ambition also is to find cage. She yearns for exclusiveness. Her altitude in the social scale is meas uered by the number of persons she will not speak to.
 What we call getting up in the world amounts to getting prop erly caged. We want to travel in a private carat least, in a private com partment. We want our meals at the hotel served in our own private dln- ing room. We want to be shaved by our own private valet and not in the barber shop. Anything to be caged oft from the people,
 Meanwhile there remain a few souls who really love freedom. They de- cline to belong to all sorts of things. They refuse to be bound by convention and the opinions of other people. They don't want to get away from the com mon people, but to know and love them better. They love flowers and have no desire to pick them. They love birds--in trees and hedgerows. They love wild beasts-in the woods and have no desire to see them pacing up and down in cages. They want to be free. And they want all other peo- pie to be free.
 Some of these are tramps. Some are the caged captives of convention signing through the bars. Some are poets. like Whitman. crying:
 T utter my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world"

THE BEEF SUPPLY

It has been some time since meat from foreign sources has been admit ted to this country free. Just how great that attraction. the removal of a cent a pound, has been and the effect which it has upon the cost of meat and it's products is fully understood by the users thereof. As far as a drop in price is concerned no one would ever know that free trade is in operation, for what is being done in the shipment of South American beef to this country could just as well have been undertaken before tariff re- duction became operative. It is the shippers and handlers of beef who are getting whatever benefit is being obtained and the relief which is being afforded to the domestic supply is un- apDreciable.
 The question of beef supply is just as important in this country as it ever has been, and it will continue to be until there is that realization of the necessity of increasing the cattle rais- ing industry. It was never seriously believed that the South American or other cattle raising countries would solve the problem in this country. The necessity and opportunity for cattle raising in this country remains as great as ever and it is a false notion which is being encouraged if farmers or others are being led to believe that they have not a chance to participate in the revival of cattle raising for beef and share in the benefits. It is only by a greater production that the short age can be met and only through the law of supply and demand will the drop in prices come. There is no reason to fear that foreign competition will de- prive the raisers of a market because the supply from such a source is not sufficient.

PUBLIC DINNERS

The pubIic dinner and the banquet both have their enthusiastic packers and their denouncers. Most everyone can see the good points and the bad ones, but through the inability or lack of sufficient desire to put a check upon them they continue with no indica- tion of abating.

RENTS IN NORWICH,

It is unqueStionably a point for se- rious consideration by the organiza- tions interested in and working for the welfare of Norwich, which was emphasized by Mayor Murphy in his talk to the Business Mems associa- tion banquet Since the matter has been brought to attention through the inability to secure proper accommoda- donS for many families the real sit ua&fon in regard to the scarcity of rents in this city has been fully re- veaAed by the statements of the real estate men who are probably in closer touch with this situation than others
 It is their unqualified opinion that there is not only a need for more and better dwellings in this city, but that the demand is such that were good rents to the number of twenty five available now they would not SUD- ply the requirements.
 A city which is growing must pro- vide for just such kind of expansion and from the class and character of the building 1t is quite evident that Norwich has not been giving attention to these demands in a manner to meet the situation. With all the many other important requirements to make city attractive to live in and to do business in, there is none which appeals to newcomers more than good homes Proper conslderation must be given to the families of those who would locate here, and nothing more should be need ed to get response in this direction than a proper setting forth of the facts. The manner in which new houses are seized and tenements rent ed long before they are ready for oc- cuPancy indicates that the demand is well founded. It is useless to look for new business to come here if we are not taking care of our business opportunities at home

him sooner or later one step towards consolidation of republicans of all kinds will be taken. Theodore Roos- evelt will again be president of the United States. Just pin that in your hat and remember it. Whether as republican or something else It's got to come. Presidential primaries of the republican party would settle all questions, and the American people who travel abroad will not have to hide their faces in shame for such foolish policy or want of policy as the incompetents are now playing in
 Mexico, when Roosevelt once more
 occupies the old stand at Washington. There is plenty of time now to get together. No need for another cross
 purpose campaign like 1912. All hatchets, should De buried between
