Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1914-05-07

Rumors are rife in Vera Cruz that
the Mexican Central Railroad is min
ed with dynamite in many points.
Should General Funston attempt to
make an advance the railroad will be
the stragetic point that both fighting
forces will endeavor to hold.
General Huerta again has given
out that he has no intention of re-
signing as the republic conferred the
honor upon him. The concentration
of Mexican troops goes on steadily
and it is believed that a number Of
rebels have left Villa to join in the
defense Of the republic. Funston
has reported that he has no definite
news regarding the movement of the
Huerta army.

Significant Trade Expansion.

The expansion Of our trade with Argentina is as
significant as 1t is enormous Its magnitude Is GER,
tanly impressive In round numbers the increases
in twenty years have been 11-fold in exports ana
5.4fod In imports, or S.2-fold in total trade.
The increase in sales to Argentina affords
full competition in OF the two South American
countries in which, of all. the European foothod is
greatest and strongest. Great Britain and Germany
are still far ahead OF us there, but such gains
we are now making encourage the belief that II
we would only adopt the enlightened and enterpris
ing methods which they employ could soon over
take them.
Most significant Of all, perhaps, is the increase
i'm our imports from Argentina Time was when
the importation Of corn and beef into the United
States would have seemed comparable with the
carving Of Goals TO Newcastle. Now we are buy
ing millions Of dollars worth of those commodities
from Argentina, provoking wonder whether this
country long regarded as the greatest agricultural
country in the world, has become permanently de-
pendent upon other lands for its food supply.
There is pardonably selfish satisfaction in the
observation that our sales 10 Argentina have In
creased twice as rapidly purchases from
her That circumstance partly offsets the enormous
balance OF trade against us which appears in Brazil
sheet with the whole 81 Latin America

LET GREAT BRITAIN HELP
Joint Intervention with United States in
Mexico Is Urged.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: TO mo il seems that Samuel j.
Parish has hit the nail on the head in his
letter on the Mexican situation.
Did II ever occur to you that Britain is
the real power behind the Monroe Doc
trine?
Wen say, for instance. this country
antagonized Britain TO the extent OF fore
ing her into a triple alliance with Ger
MANY and Japan, far-fetched supposi-
ton you'll say. but how such an alliance
would suit the two last named countries,
Germany, with her expansion policy
solved and Japan, with a chance TO
satisfy her imagined wrongs at the hands
Of this country.
They would not want or need any ac-
tive support from Britain; all they need
ask would be an assurance that England
would remain neutral, then soodby Mon
roe Doctrine.
Uncle Sam needs the friendship OF John
Bull, as he never needed anything in his
existence before president Wilson knows
it,, and It Is his for the asking. England
would be more than willing to Join hands
with the L. S. A. in settling the Mexican
mess. WAIVER

The Wasteful Full Crew Law.

II is to be hoped that Governor Glynn and the
Legislature win give serious thought to the prayer
OF the railroads for the repeal OF the "full crew"
llaw Experience with the statute since It took effect
on September last year shows a cost TO the rail-
roads in this state of more than 81 100000 year.
This appears 10 be its chief If not its only effect.
So far as the railroads or the public can discern,
&c has not made travel safe. 1t Is doubtful If
1t has even necessitated the employment OF all the
extra men the labor unions expected, as the rail-
roads in some cases have cut down their train
schedules.
The condition Of the railroads is an important
factor IN the general business depression If this
law actually IS wastefu as the railroads maintain,
the lawmakers could not DO better than to repeal It
and so contribute IN that degree 10 q betterment
Of business conditions.

Batting for the Lord"

If YOU are enough of fan TO like your religion
served up in terms of bunts and home runs and
batting averages BILLY" Sunday is just the kind OF
preacher you will like If you are not you don't
have to go to hear him. Which amounts to saying
that personal taste enters into the practice of re-
ligon as in everything else. And it behooves us all
to be polite not to say long suffering, toward the
other mans likings.
"Bly" Sunday was a good fielder and a star batter
and baserunner on Pop AnsOns team some
twenty years ago. He made very good at the game
of baseball before lie took up his personal attack
upon the very personal Devil in whom he believes
His recent campaigns in the Middle West have
made an unusual impression upon such not over
impress sionabie towns as Chicago, for example
From Oklahoma north he has started wave or
revvalism with temperance one large incidental
item) which has swept very considerable portion
Of the communities into his way Of thinking.
Curiosity can account for many Of the eight
thousand religious fans who stormed his Carnegie
meeting here. But It cannot account for his big
hauls of both money and converts in his protracted
campaigns elsewhere. Capitalizing the national
game for religion as we might call it, or batting
for the Lord" as Billy Sunday calls it, seems a
sure way Of filing the ecclesiastical bleachers at
any rate.

CLEARING THE SIDE STREETS
A Reader Praises Plan of Piling Snow
in the Middle Of the Roadway.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Is there not some way OF calling
the attention OF property holders TO the
necessity not only for cleaning off the
snow from their sidewalks, but also for
cleaning and freeing the cutters? 1t
would entail little expense and trouble
upon each householder to have this done
to pile the material In the centre Of the
street with an occasional opening in the
pile that would allow for the passage or
turning of horses and vehicles. Such
responsibility, borne by the householder,
would save the city large sum, reduce
the wear and tear upon vehicles and the
injury to horses and prevent the obstruc-
tons TO traffic which now occur by the
failure to carry out such plans after
heavy snowfals.
For years [ have followed this plan in
the street where | live and have got the
neighbors on either side and opposite 10
cooperate with me, so that in our block
we have free passage FOR vehicles and
room for them TO turn
Could not the Street Cleaning Depart
ment facilitate the work OF cleaning the
city by following the same plan? The
snow piled in the centre OF the street
might then be carried off at the conven-
fence of the department. but traffic,
meanwhile. might go on unimpeded. par
tlcularly If tire police were enlisted to
see that this plan were carried out Please
give this your serious attention.

The Politics of the Police Reform Bills

Mayor Mitchell is well within his rights in his
personal appeals to the Republican and Progressive
legislators from this city to stand with him on his
police reform legislation. He would be equally
justified in an appeal to the upstate Republicans
TO help him, although the connection there is not
so direct
The Mayor was fusion nominee, candidate on
the same ticket on which the Republican and Pro-
gressive Assembymen from this city were elected,
and supported by their organizations. Many Of these
fAssemblymen could not have been elected except
for the fusion campaign. They surely owe it TO
the head of their ticket to support him on what is
q vital point in his reform programme The upstate
Republican legislators profess to be hereditary enc
mics Of Tammany. The Mayor has proved himself
one Of the most effective opponents Tammany has
had in years and his campaign to reform the police
aligns him once more against the Tiger and its
kind The upstate Republicans, by every argument
/ Of partisan politics. ought to stand with him on
that.

Maintain Central Park as a Park.

No more reason exists for conveying the site OF
the Arsenal to the National Academy or Design
for fine arts building in case the Park Depart
ment abandons It's present headquarters than mas
existed before for placing such an enterprise IN
Central Park. The Academy would save money
true; but IT has not yet produced convincing argu-
ments why the city should DO especially benevolent
TO It.
Central Park has escaped being converted into
sites for Libraries and art buildings and
recreation centres only by virtue Of very real and
genuine demand that It be maintained as park.
There IS no indication that the public is now or
ever will be ready TO abandon its claim TO the park
as park not a lovely setting for an art edfce.

THE BECKER CASE AGAIN
The Danger Of Technicalities That OBJ
struct Justice Is Rehearsed.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I enjoyed greatly your editorial
upon the Court of Appeals decision IN the
Becker case. l fancy few editorials have
awakened more satisfaction through New
York State than that one. The Tribune
may be wrong and tho readers may be
wrong. but there was great satisfaction.
and at the root OF the satisfaction lay the
conviction that the editorial was right.
May I suggest a few things worthy OF
remembrance at this time?
/. In the history Of the world. among
the most disgraceful and dreadful events
have been decisions OF law courts, from
the time OF Plate to Chief Justice fancy,
with his bred Scott decision.
2. The men who sustain the decision OF
the Court Of Appeals are the men who
rend the very heavens with their cutlery
against nihilism and anarchlsm. But they
should remember that not ali the daggers
and pistols and dynamite have helped
nihilism and anarchsm. while the one
thing that is their breath OF life is unjust
decisions upon legal technicallties IN high
courts.
3. These men. too. should remember
their utter powerlessness in land OF uni
versal suffrage. They ere but few-the
masses are millions. Tennyson writes:
Slowly comes a hungry people as a lion
creeping higher
Glares at enc that mods and winks behind
n slowly dying fire
That is startling p!Cture-the hungry
lion drawing nearer, the other side nod
dag and winking. nearly asleep. and
the fire dying - startling plcture
But | do not believe IL is true OF
America. / do not believe the Ameri-
can people is a hungry mob ready 10
hurl over the judges bench. But there
is IA conviction abroad. and you meet Il
everywhere, that justice has been often
sacrificed 10 technicaites. Leading
judges and lawyers have expressed IT en-
phaticaly and said that halt must be
called.
II Is n good time 10 remember that op-
posito the Judge In lis robes stand tho
mighty masses OF the people. awaiting
every word How absolutely powerless Is
the Judge. n he he an unjust judge The

The Governors Primary Law Changes.

Two amendments to the primary law suggested
by Governor Glynn are eminenty sensible and
should become law. These would make the cleo
ton district the primary unit and put the primaries
under bipartisan boards Of inspectors and apply
the signature law to primaries just as it IS applied
TO elections. With these additions TO the law the
primary would be safeguarded Is the general
election. There could be juggling with the re-
turns or voting "cannons'-condtions which have
made every Democratic primary in this city for
years farce. The City Club the Honest Ballot
Association and the Citizens Union have joined in
advocating these changes, while the Democratic
Club is In favor Of one, at least So there should
be no partisan division on them IN the Legislature
AS to the other amendments the Governor advo-
Gates there must be less unanimty Of opinion.
Unquestionably holding primaries the first day
Of registration would add many thousands TO the
primary vote But It might easily cause confusion
and delay registration and enrolment seriously.
There IS some doubt also, whether the effect of
mailing primary and election sample ballots TO the
voters would be worth the cost, in view Of the
fact that sample ballots easily be obtained now
before Election Day and the political organiza-
tons send out the primary ballots whenever there
is q contest The primary an instrument for
better political conditions will not suffer greatly
If these amendments are not made TO the law.

The hearings upon the antitrust measures nave
not been exhaustive or Illuminating The most ue-
lstructive criticism of the measures has not come
from business sources but from anti-Duslness
sources so to speak. like Mr. Samuel untermyer'
who condemned many of the Wilson proposals "S

lpassage. But whatever the reason Is the real
views of those who understand business conditions

The subject Of antitrust legislation is not like
that of the tariff which had been thrashed out Tor
wears before the present tariff bill drafted or
like that of the currency, upon which the Aidrlch
commission had worked for long time. The anti
trust bills We're produced without adequate study
and consideration. The administrations policy was
extemporized 1t shocked such trust baiters as
Mr.. Untermyer by its crudeness and impracucaDll-

pect that it will be made workable is not good
An administration which wrong a few weeks
ago is likely 10 be wrong now. Wisdom in regard
TO the trusts is not to be acquired overnight.
And there is no excuse for the determination to
force through the revised programme with the aid
Of the caucus. No exigency requires the enactment
Of new antitrust legislation The Sherman law is
adequate It's adequacy will be practically conceded
in the revised administration bills, which will for
tify it in fewer particulars than the original bills
