which, like his eyes and hair. is jet

Coming from a wealthy family,

the cause of the masses as against the
conservatives, who have, by their OPP

been particularly strong in his Opposi-

look on him as the ablest man in
Mexico for the position he now oc-
Cupics.

cARsAIAL. A MAN OF PEACE.

Francisco Carbajal. the new provis-
ional president OF Mexico, is not keen
on war This is not surprising i'm view
Of the fact that Huerta hung on as
long as ne could. But ordinarily IL
is said Carbajal is not a fighting man in
the sense that Huerta was. He has
never been active in politics. is wealthy
and is a friend Of people. So ii is nat
ural he should direct his efforts To the
restoration Of peace. lie has made
known his desire TO turn the govern
ment over to the Constituencies and
end the long period of bloodshed lie
already has ordered federal troops to
eyacuate san Luis Putosi one of the
largest cities in federal territory.
But will the Constitutionalists treat
Carbajal with equal courtesy? VIII
they consider the fact he took over the
provisional presidency upon the retire

execute him? VIII they enter Mexico

These are questions yet To be an
swcred. yet Carbajals willingness to
cooperate with the rebels ought To
make for peace. That seems To be the
logical conclusion. But there is no
guarantee that Mexico is 10 have per-

rebel bandit in the south, to appease,
and there is no positive assurance that

1t would be easy enough to start a new

great uncertainty.

The remarkable interest shown
throughout the country over the scien-

A TAME" REPORT.

The Democratic VI. C's VINO "inyes-
tigated" the copper country strike are
going TO issue tame" report, % is
announced. IL was an open secret that
the Democrats of the committee, who
constituted the majority, were antago-
nistic To the mining companies. ana
no attempt was made 10 con-
ceal the fact that the MAORI
" report would be severe ar
raignment Of the operators. But there
no longer is any occasion for report
Of that character. The strike is over
and there is no further need 10 aid the
agitators and create additional senti-
ment in their favor The advertising
possibilities Of such report are prac-
tically nil.
II is announced that the Democrats
will tone down their conclusions be-
cause of the political effect a report
such as originally planned would have
on Governor Ferris. Which is no rea-
son at all. The governor could not be
harmed in the least, politically. 10y any
kind of a report the Democratic con-
gressmen would make. He was not con-
cerned in the investigation, what he
did in the strike was on his own ini-
tiative and he was shouldered all the
responsibility for it without fear from
any quarter.
But the direct intimation that poll
ties is To influence the final report of
the committee majority bears out the
impression which obtained in the con-
per country and upper Michigan when
the investigation was first proposed,
and which became deep conviction
as the investigation progressed, that
politics and politics alone was the
guiding star of the inquiry. Perhaps
the copper country should be thank
full that even the Democratic majority
in Congress has reached the limit in
its attempt To make political capital
with the misguided laborirg men ot
the country at the copper couutry's
expense.

SAYS BABIES THINK.
French Psychologist Cites Cases to
Prove Theory.

Do children think before they car
talk?
Professor Ribot the great French
psy chologist, says that they do.
lie cites the case Of a child OF Prey
er, the famous student, writer and
scientist. Preyer says of one of his
children that IL was Impossible to take
away one of his ninepins without it be-
ing discovered by the child while al
Is months he knew quite well whether
one of his ten animals was missing
or not, says the Springfield. H.. State
Journal. Yet this il no proof that he
was able TO count up To nine or ten.
At II months Preyers child, which
could not speak a word, finding that il
was unable to obtain plaything
placed above its reach in n cupboard
looked about To the right and left
found a small travelling trunk, took it,
climbed up and possessed itself of the
desired object. Here there is certain
an element of invention.
Another illustration is that of boy
aged less than one year and incapable
of pronouncing n single word, To whom
n stuffed grouse was shown with the
word bird" uttered to identify it. The
child immediate looked across To the
other side Of the room, where there
was a stuffed fowl.
Another child, having listened first
with its right ear, then with its left
TO the ticking of a watch. stretched
out its arms gleefully toward the clock
on the mantel piece.
Darwin related these observations of
his grandson: The child. who was just
beginning To speak, called IA duck
'quack,' and by special association II
also called water 'quack.' BY an APP
probation of the resemblance of quail
ties, ii next extended the term 'quack'
To denote all birds and insects on the
one hand and all fluid substance on
the other. BY still more delicate APP
probation of resemblance the child
eventually called all the French coins
'quack, because on the back of a
French sou it had once seen the rep

carbajaI, as Supreme Court jus'
tice, Refused to Declare Indians
Assumption Legal; Wealthy and
Is Friend of the Masses

Mexico's new provisional president,
Francisco Carbajal, is a fighter. Not
after the manner Of the abdicating
dictator, however. for Carba jail is an
intellectual fighter. man distin-
guished for the steadfastness of his
convictions, evidenced In his long ca
reer as one of his country's most dis
tinguished juIists.
1t was Carbajal who, with one other
justice. refused To sign the decree of
MeXico's supreme court which de-
clared IIuerta's assumption Of the
presidency following the assassination
Of Madero was legal. In fact Car
bajal risked his neck by rendering a
minority opinion in which he declared
Lascurain was provisional president
of the disturbed republic.
Threatened with imprisonment by
Huerta, Carbajal preserved a judicial
dignity and calm, refusing to recedc
in his opinion. 1t Is possible that his
courage i'm this manner won the re-
spect of the old Indian" for Car
bajal was not molested; and when
Iiuerta foresaw the necessity of re-
signing from office, he elevated Car
bajal To his cabinet, making him min
lister Of foreign affairs, that he might
succeed to the provisional presidency.
Holds Judicial Places.
Senior Carbajal was born i'm Cam
peche, and is now 80 years of age.
He was educated in local parochial
schools and in the University of Mex
leo city, whence he returned to his
native state and engaged i'm the prdc-
tice of law. He pursued his practice
till after he was 80 years old, never
seeking political preferment or in
dulging in politics beyond the exercise
of his right to vote.
For the past 20 years the new presi-
dent has held judicial positions, first
in the courts Of Campeche and later
in the supreme court of Mexico. Some
years past he was elected chief jus
tice of the supreme court Under the
law election may he for but one term
and a chief justice is not eligible to
succeed himself. After an interim
Carbajal was again elected chief JUS
tice, about a year ago.
Senior Carbajal was member of
the peace commission which met at
Juarez in 1911, brought about the ter
mination Of the war between Madero
and Daz. and secured the elevation
OF Francisco dc In Barra, to the pro-
visional presidency. The commissions
work. resulted ultimately in the en-
forced flight of Porfirio Diaz to Spain
and the election of Madero To the
presidency.

PROSPERITY IN KANSAS rs WELL

The Washington Herald finds fault
with Kansas for not contributing more
literally to the income tax fund. 1t
says that Kansas boosters announce
800 100000 wheat crop and pre-
dict that i'm 1918 every family in the
state will have an automobile. The
Herald adds that they have one auto
to every eight families now and at the
present rate Of increase there will be
no Jayhawker family without devil
wagon in the next four years.
1t is noted that Kansas has contrib
uted less than $4,000 Of income tax
thus FAR. That isn't much for state
that produced more than 100. 900. 600
bushels Of wheat last year. At least
II isn't much in the opinion of the
Herald, which says: Nebraska. Col

western states, with the exception Of
