SITUATION SUMMED up

The time gained by the efforts
toward mediation between Mexico
and the United States is Of priceless
value. 1t gives opportunity for
overheated feelings to subside as
we'll as for sober second thoue hit
to asert itself among all concerned,
writes Henry Clews from New
York.
Huerta no doubt realizes that
the United States is in earnest.
So too, must Carranza and Villa.
War would mean an end to the
political ambitions of all three. The
way is apparently o opening for
Huerta, the chief cause Of diff
Guilty to withdraw if a fair oppor-
tunity is offered. His political
elimination in case of war is newt
able. His personal liberty would
be in peril; also his life and prop
erty which he can best assure by
Withdrawing. He now has the
choice of either surrendering his
political ambitions and preserving
his liberty and property or going
to war and losing all three. 1t
would seem as if he would certain
ly choose the former, especially if
his exit is permitted without
humiliation. 1t would be prema-
ture to assume that the Mexican
difficulty is ended. One dangerous
crisis has been passed but other
bitches must be expected in the
long negotiations which are still in
prospect; Mexicao evils being alto
gether too deep to permit an i'm
mediate solution. Out of the mud
die Of the past weeks a f.w con.
trolling facts are gradually becom-
ing more clear. The first is the
United States is overwhelmingly OPP
posed to war. The second is the
Administration at Washington has
opened the door to mediation. The
third is that European powers d.
rectly interested are as one with
the United States. The fourth is
the entry of Argentina, Brazil and
Chill as a factor in the internation-
al policy of the Pan-American re-
publics. Their inclusion in the ne
gotiations will in all probability be
helpful. twill help soften the sus-
picioR of the south American re-
publics towards the United States,
and it will crafty South American
ambition to be considered as of i'm
portauce in the family of nations.
1t will certainly be good policy for
the United States to consider any
friendly suggesti ms coming from
that quarter; while Mexico will
have the advantages of sc uring
sympathetic advisers.

No More Liquor Advertising

The Record Herald has decided to
eliminate liquor advertising from Its
columns. 1t will fulfill its existing
contracts to print this class OF adver-
Using and having done that It will &C.
cept no more.
In making this announcement The
Record-Herald desires to be rightly
understood. The manufacture and
sale Of liquor are sanctioned by law
and the advertising Is legitimate ad-
vertising. However. printing this class
OF advertising involves social Ques-
tons that call for emphasis and In.
creased consideration.
The Record-Herald goes into many
thousands OF homes. In virtually .aii
Of these homes there Is an abiding
sense of the need of protection against
the abuses OF the liquor traffic, espe-
cially for the young. In constantly

1t Is To Hope

We have an expert opinion on a
very important matter. no less q mat
ter than q decision as to "the white
mans hope" Mr.. John l.. Sullivan, an
authority well known In every house

q gent who has assumed the title OF
representative OF the white mans
hope" will surely revive and establish
said hope where It belongs, provided
said Moran whales away at Mr.. Jack
Johnsons midsection" diligently In
their coming meeting In Paris. Mr..
Sullivan himself has midDectiCn that
has been considerably whAled away at
and undoubtedly knows whereof he
speaks.
But isn't Mr.. Sullivan's ADVICE good

from the use of liquor for the sake OF
the young. There Is the haunting fear
that from the. frst indulgence the

unconsclously drift into an uncon-

become known that President Wilson
Will sign the Crosser municipal owner

trict OF Columbia, II 1t passes the two
houses. And there IL good prospect
that II will pass both houses II 1t can
be reported from the committee on the
District OF Columbia.
The passage OF this bill would be
the best possible demonstration of the
principle OF public ownership OF public
utilities. The capital city would serve
as beacon light In this respect for
the rest OF the country. Mr.. Crosser
has no doubt that II the bill comes to
q rollcall In the house It will pass.
Senator Norris IL known to favor
the Crosser bill, and II Is understood
that he has practically assured Rep.
Crosser that 1t will 60 through the
senate II the house passes II. This Ia
matter in which every progressive
citizen In the United States Ia inter
ested. A demonstration OF the EN-.
cheney OF public ownership In Wash
ington would make the fight much
easier in cities throughout the coun-
try. For this reason. special interests
desiring to defeat the bill have be-
come particularly active.
II can be slated with certainty that
six members OF the house district CON-
mittee will vote In favor of reporting
out the bill. They are Ben Johnson,
of Kentucky; Henry George, Jr.. OF
New York: Claude L'Engle. OF Flor
ida: Joseph b. Thompson, OF Okla
homa: H. Waters Anderson, OF Penn.
sylvania, and Robert Crosser. OF Ohio.
The men who hold the fate Of the
bill In their hands and who have not
committed themselves on 1t, are Wyatt
Aiken, OF South Carolina; William l..
Igoe. OF Missouri: Thaddeus ii. Cara
way. OF Arkansas: George f. German.
of Illinois: Denis O'Ieary, OF New

few discreet lines from the home folks
intimating to these gentlemen that
the writer's are interested In the votes
on this bill would help push II out OF
