THE DIGNITY OF MEXICO.

Criticising President Wilson's warn
ing to the warning Mexican factions,
the Villa-Zapata coalition talks of
unfolding the dignity of Mexico, if
the American note were intended as
threat. The president is peaceful
person, and might not have meant
his communication to convey a threat
Of armed Intervention, but it sound
ed that way to Americans, and Mex
leo can wear the shoe if it fits.
Meanwhile Mexicans will devote their
dignity to numbering each other, and
mistreating Americans, until the Unit
ed States does intervene. Mexican
dignity, from this distance, seems as
much of a joke as Mexican justice,
the answer being that there amt no
such animal" A people who have in
augurated anarchy and butchery in
place of government, haven't much
occasion to talk of dignity, and
American intervention probably would
be the best for all concerned. 1t
would be expensive for this country
Of course, but Mexico has the resour-
ces to pay the bill, if the Mexicans
could be induced to settle down ano
to work as the Cubans have. They
can be induced to do that, and II
about the same way that Cuba was
which is for America to maintain
peaceful protectorate, which might
prove more desirable than actual pos
session. As colonizer this country
may not be a bowling success, bu
in Cuba it has proved that it car
regulate explosive politics in Latin
America and that is what Mexico
needs The present system of fol
lowing one revolt with another, ha
put the country one the verge o
starvation, and there are humanitar
ian reasons for the American inter
ference to maintain the dignity a
! well as the life of Mexico.-Atch

When Napoleon returned from his

at Paris in March 1915, he could only
gather about 100000 men to oppose
nearly 100000. which the allied
sovereigns were ready toh url against
him. The British under Wellington
and the Prussians under Blucher, were
posted in the Netherlands. His policy
was to attack ard crush these before
others could come to their assistance.
He moved promptly and was upon
separate bodies of the Prussians and
British at Ligny and Quartre Bras on
the 10th of June, before they were pre-
pared for him. When he began the
battle on the 18th the advantage still
seemed to be his because of the
divided positions of his double enemy.
There was one obstacle that was de-
cisive. The British infantry stood in
their squares immovable till the after
noon when the arrival of the Prussians
gave their side the superiority. The
French, broken. defeated, demoralized,
retreated--and this was the climax to
the twenty years of conquest and em-
pire which was to be followed by six
years OF miserable Imprisonment at st.
Helena. The battle of Waterloo, ac-
cording to Allison, was fought by S0,-

THE SAFETY FIRST MOVEMENT

That there is growing demand for
drastic regulation of street traffic in
our modern cities is reflected in the
deliverations of the convention of the
street traffic committee of the safety
first federation of America just held
in Detroit.
The kind of traffic signs employed
rules governing the movement OF
street cars and the operation of all
types of vehicles, zones of safety for
pedestrians and other subjects were
among those considered.
AS evidence of the lack of Uniform
ity in street regulations throughout
the country, tabulations of the traf-
fic rules now in effect in fifty lead
ing cities, which have been compiled
by Francis Y. Butler, director of the
safety first federation's bureau of
statistics, were exhibited and formed
the basis of study and analysis by the
committee members or their informa-
tion and guidance in the work of
creating uniform system.
The near-side stop for street cars,
for example has been adopted in
twenty-nine of the fifty cities. Both
near and far side in eleven, and the
near side alon is in use in only ten
cities. Lights are required on all We
hicles in twenty-seven cities. The
police officials in forty-six of the fifty
cities have agreed that the traffic
officers should have the same control
over pedestrians as they now exer-
else over the drivers and operators
of vehicles. Forty-three police of
ficials favor the use of safety zones
or pedestrians at congested street in
tersections.
Automobiles are required to stop
behind street cars in thirty-siX cities,
while twentythree cities prohibit the
use of glaring headlights on motor
vehicles. The officials in thirty-six
cities believe that there should be a
periodical examination of the equip
ment of motor vehicles, and forty-one
officials areu unanimous in their opin-
ions that all operators of motor We

to take as stringent measures with
cocaine and morphine as with absin-

is that the "coco" as it is called, has
found its way into the army and

traffic tempt the unscruplous to risk

them 2 cents and they sell it at from

THE MOB MENACE.

Just when we are discussing ideals
and their influence and half believing
that we have a better grasp on civil
lization than we had twenty-five years
ago, along comes Georgia with a mob
demonstration and shuts off the light.
That demonstration against Gov
ernor Slaton was a disgrace to the
state and nation. The great state of
Georgia is worthy of more respect
than that accorded by the mob. The
geographical position of that mob
made no difference. 1t was the prin-
ciple of mob lawlessness that de-
mands cure.
Several hundred men tried to
get a governor because he had
commuted the life sentence of man
of whose guilt he was not sure. The
''mob" months ago had Frank tried
and convicted him. In its bestian
element near saloons and dives it was
waiting to see if the governor would
agree to its verdict. In this case he
did not and showed his teeth, lash
cd his tail and behaved like the un-
civilized beast he is.
Feed mob whiskey, inspire it with
rabid leaders and you have anarchy
started. The guilt Of Frank has moth
ing to do with the display. A class
that is so dcmoralized that it seeks
the life of state executive should
feel the weight Of the law.

considering his house is four miles in
