mus practically doubled the privileges granted under The Hague conven- tion. A German or British warship could, for instance, coal today at q canal zone port, forage around the West Indies for three months, and then come back for more at Panama port, only a few miles away.
 This virtually made the Panama canal a base for six months at least for commerce-raiding operations. This was inconvenient to us, as interfering with trade. It might also lead to en- barrassing questions about the reality of our neutrality, owing to the pecu- liar relations in which Panama stands to the United States.

THE BIG BROTHER.

If the United States is going to be a big brother to Mexico it should act in brotherly way.
 The science and practice of broth erliness among nations, however, is still in it's mewling and babbling in fancy.
 The world has been so long fed on the raw meat of war, of force, Of honor (which usually means strutting pride), and of all such half-brute no tions, that it's idea of patriotism rare ly reaches above the level of belli- cose national egotism.
 But how would a brother treat a brother? He would help, encourage, and assist him in every way. He would not try to impose his will by force upon him. Neither would he hold aloof and bid him paddle his own canoe.
 But how can we help Mexico, help her in a way that shall bring pros perity and peace to her, and profit and joy to ourselves?
 First, how not to do it is the way we have always done. We have sim ply exploited that country, gone down there and bought mines, railways and haciendas, organized business schemes, and acted generally with the one purpose of making all the money possible out of the Mexicans.
 We have been entirely selfish. We have not done one thing toward help ing the struggling myriads of the poor.
 When they got into trouble we sent a fleet flyine to Vera Cruz, held that city awhile, and now propose to bring our ships back home.
 If we were truly big brother this is what we would do:
 Instead of spending millions on an army to "pacify" the country we would spend millions upon prepar' ing the people there for citizenship We would build thousands of public schools and send an invading army of thousa1ids e teachers. We would establish ional schools all over the land.
 Recognizns that ignorance is thel1 greatest cular, we would relieve th'.i ignorance.
 The exploiters of Mexico have ner

GUARDING NEUTRALITY AT PAN.
 AMA.

The United States and Panama agreed last week that their ports ana waters shall be territorial unit with respect to giving supplies to war ships. The effect is to halve the use of the isthmus as a base of supplies for commerce-raiding cruisers of any of the warning nations.
 The Hague convention provides that the war vessel of a belligerent may purchase at a neutral port only enough coal and provisions to en- able it to steam to the nearest port of it's own government. It is not, of course, compelled to go to na- tional port and nowhere else. It may call at port of some other neutral nation for more supplies.

"PuBLIc MARKETS" WE CAN DO
 WITHOUT.

The Committee of Fifteen makes an encouraging report. Its latest inves- tigation shows a marked decrease in the number of what may be termed public markets" of vice. Putting the owners of such real estate in the press pillory has had a salutary ef- feet.
 Of course those who deem the ar gument closed when they say, "It al ways has been; it always will be; hu- man nature," will not be convinced. They will insist that there is just as much social evil" in Chicago as ever, only it's under cover"
 It is certainly not as visible, Haunt

CT turned over their hand to educate the peons. In fact, they have op- posed education as interfering with cheap labor, virtual slave labor, which is so profitable to the employers.
 We would pay the way of thousands of Mexican boys and girls to come to our schools and learn American ideas and methods.
 We would send emissaries of our government into every city and ham, let of Mexico to do their utmost to show the youth how to live, to work and to think.
 Why should all missionary" work be done by religious sects? Why can not there be high and disinterested missionary spirit in whole nation Why not missionaries to teach civil. ization, medicine, science, arts and crafts, as well as to teach disputed religious doctrines? Why can we not build hospitals, free schools, asylums and libraries all up and down Mex ico?
 Foolish talk? Impractical?
 Sure! And it shows how hollow and unmeaning is our prating of be ing Big Brother.
 With no motive but the sordid one of gain we have acted toward Mex ico rather as a Big Robber, getting every cent we could out of them and showing our teeth and threaten ing war whenever they cried out.
 Isn't it about time for nation de finitely to discard the dirty, selfish motives of Macchiavelli and endeav or to act as a human, collectively human, civilized and helpful Big Brother?
 We are helping, teaching the Fiji ipinos and transferring them. Why not the Mexicans, Nicaraguans and all Central America? Do we have to owr a land to help it?
 Is not a billion dollars spent or schools and training a better way tt conquer a country than by cannon and soldiers?

COUNTRY MAY YET
BECOME INVOLVED
President Wilson Needs Assist
anCe of Democratic Con-
greSS to Aid Him in This
Critical Period, Says DeahI.

This country is by no means en-
tirely free from danger of becoming
involved in an international contro-
versy and the guidance of Pres't Will
son and a democratic congress is
needed to insure continued peace was
the assertion made by Anthony Deahl
OF Goshen, who addressed a literally
attended meeting of seventh ward
democrats held at the Elder school
last night.
Mr.. Deahl showed how the demo-
cratic administration with such men
as Pres't Wilson, Sec'y of State
Bryan, Sen. b. +. Shively and Con-
gresham Henry A. Barnhart were
responsible for the present tranquility
of the nation while practically every
other important country in the world
is embroiled in the most terrible war
III history. The speaker declared
that the support of the president and
bis policy of peace, which has proven
SO successful, can only be continued
by the reelection of a democratic
congress and urged that the voters re
turn Sen. Shively and Congressman
Barnhart to the national legislative
body.
Mr.. Deahl asserted that both men
with Sen Kern of Indiana are consid-
cred as the strongest and best states
llSi III NAAS ae Aie'1C' AAS'iiAs9 q -
liCan senator from Ohio and the deeds
of the Indiana men as authority. He
spoke of other national and state is
sues, asserting that more and better
legislation has been enacted during
the past two years of democratic ad-
ministration during any period of so
years in the history of the United
States.
J. A. Mccullough, former city
councilman, acted as chairman of
the meeting and introduced a num-
Der of county nominees who were
present Each made a short talk
outlining their purposes and plan of
conduct if elected to Office.
