CLINTON'S POOR SHOWING.
rClinton Herald

The showing made by Clinton in
the matter Of protection of health as
compared with other cities OF the ma
ton Is scarcely one to which the people
are going to point with pride. for this
city is at the very foot OF the list.
spending almost none Of the public
monies for this purpose.
The matter Of garbage collection and
disposal is one, however that has been
receiving considerable attention OF
late, it being recognized that some
thing ought to be done in this direc-
ton. The way has not yet been seen
clear to undertake this work and thus
take the first direct step in the way OF
health protection.
That Clinton has not suffered from
serious epidemics in the past. 1t must
be admitted on all hands. is not the
result of precautions that have been
taken, but. rather in spite of the alb
sence Of all precautions. 1t may be
that serious epidemic yet will be
necessary to impress upon the pubic
mind the necessity Of providing against
them.
1t ought to be and probably Will pc
the sentiment Of the people that by the
time another survey Of the country mas
been made that the report VIII not
show that Clinton is totally Obvious
to the health Of her people.

BUT WHY INTERVENE?


matter of the Benton addition to the
Mexican mess. There is no occasion
to accept IT as sufficient reason for
war or for Intervention. The natural
tendency is to sieze upon incident and
to magnify 1t. The better method is
to wait until all the facts come out
and to trust to those who have been
placed in official responsibility.
1t is asserted now that Benton was
Mexican citizen, that he had held
office under the Mexican government
and this may be entirely true so far
as Office holding is concerned In
Iowa recently it was found that man
who had held office thru several terms
had never been naturalized tho he had
exercised the privileges of citizen
thru many years. The fact that he
had taken this advantage should be
sufficient to bring him under all the
responsibilities of citizenship. The
United States would certainly be justi-
lied IN popular judgment should it re-
fuse to consider this man a subject of
a foreign power
This man Benton, had lived in Mex
leo. made fortune in Mexico, held a
great tract of land that had multiplied
over and over again in value. What
ever may be urged against Villa, Ben
ton was to all intents and purposes 2
Mexican citizen. Moreover he was an
old acquaintance Of Villa. He knew
all about him and Mexican revolutions
and all the rest Of the middle that is
termed war across the Rio Grande.
And according to the only evidence he
likely to act as well as to threaten.
Villa killed him or had him killed. And
in it all there seems nothing over which
either the United States or the British
government for that matter, can find
reasonable basis for intervention and
probable war.
The scheme Of division of Mexico
and the establishment of a new repub-
lie created out of the Sonora state as a
principal part is one that should not
find encourag cement by the L. S. gov
eminent. 1t would probably be a good
thing for this country and for Mexico;
but Mexico so far as it Is possible
should be permitted to work out her
own salvation. We have a lot Of his
tory back Of us that should be lived
up to. The time may come when the
United States will be forced to inter
fere in the affairs Of the neighborns
republic but that time does not appear
to have arrived, however much we may
desire control Of the west coast and
the Magdalena harbor.

financial or operative or both, COM
paratively little cause of complaint re-
mains. or at least IL notably alleged. II
the public and Its representatives In
government had only these latter tC
deal with, the situation would be freed
from much Of its difficulty.
Such unfortunately is not the stats
Of facts-not yet by good deal The
public has right before Its eyes tins
fresh exposures of the Rock Island
and the New Haven systems. to say
nothing Of the Missouri Pacific and
others-all great systems that have
been systematically looted. wrecked,
plundered and prostituted az instru-
ments Of elaborate and wholesale rob-
berry both OF the general public and
Of their own stockholders. These great
railroad systems are obviously moi In
need of funds primarily because of
insufficient freight rates. Higher rates
would have meant simply greater rob-
bery-would only have facilitated the
operations Of the plunderers controlling
them. And everybody sees that fact
at a glance.
On the other land there il evidence
that other carriers, which have not
been prostituted to criminal finance
like the Rock Island and the New
Haven, have yet sacrificed immense
revenues which they might have had
under existing rates The interstate
commerce commission has just lately
brought to the notice of certain rail-
roads instances Of rebates and free
service through short industrial OF
MI
There is not the slightest doubt OF the
existence Of an incomparably created
undiscovered loss Of this sort-rebat-
guise. Higher rates would only have
swelled this loss. Worse still, they
would only have magnjfied the injus-
tice Of the rebates as against the great
mass of shippers.
The fact that all companies are not
equally guilty in these notorious points
and that some, 1t may be, are entirely
innocent does not open the way for
general settlement Of freight rates on
higher basis. Before that can be
done or before it can be fully consid-
cred, there is the more impoytant bust
ess Of stamping out>such crimes and
lies in railroad management. This

nd speculative exploitation of the
leans Of transportation, and this Sac

rimfnations have got 10 be rootedOut.
here is going to be still more drastic
gislation-drastic, that is, in the way
prevention of the crime and punish
nent of the criminals, as we'll as in the
enforcement of such remedies.
When such gigantic robbery as we
rave under our eyes in the cases OF
'reat railroad systems actually ceases
md when railroad resources and reve-
,ues are efficiently administered, there
sill be no trouble in getting con-
'lusive hearing of their need OF ad-
,anced freight rates, on a general basis,
f the railroads then really can produce
aYidence of need.
