BETTER LATE THAN NOT AT ALL

MR.. WILSON has been misjudged. In the
1Nl early days of his Administration 1t was
said of him that he was pig-headed and OBJ
stinate, and that when he had once decided
upon a course of action it was impossible to
move him.
The men who thought they knew the kind
of man the President is failed to take into
account the educational value Of a term in
the White House The freshman of 1918, who
announced his unalterable determination not
to recognize a de facto government in Mexico
which had come into power by means which
he disapproved, is in 1915 arranging to
recognize a de facto government with a less
valid legal title than that which he turned
his back 32 months ago.
Carranza is nothing more than the leader
of a revolt against Huerta. There has not
been even the form of an election to give him
a title to the Presidency. The Administra-
ton is recognizing him not as a President,
but merely as the man in power by force of
arms, who controls a larger part OF the coun-
try than any rival revolutionist.
Mr. Wilson instead of being "sot" in his
ways has reversed himself under the sane
and well-inforr~zd advice of his Secretary of
State, and has begun to do his best to atone
for his past blunders.
Now that Carranza is to be held responsible
for conditions in Mexico. the Government in
Washington is planning to sustain him by
putting an embargo on the shipment Of arms
TO the opposition leaders We are to stand
behind the best man in sight and to help him
so far as possible; and so far as has been
announced, we have not laid down any pro-
gram to which he must conform, as we did
when John Lind was sent to Mexico to tell
the Mexcans how 10 run their affairs. We
have put It all up to Carranza. Now let us
hope that he can make good.

wHITLoCK AS MAYOR

TO the Editor OF the EUentn1 Ledger:
sr-Imagine, If you can. the degree of aston
ishnert created when, day or two since our
eyes were greeted by some columns of space
devoted to one Brand Whitlock now Minister
to Belgium and formerly Mayor of the un-
fortunate city of Toledo, o. ." q"
Some years ago. during his career as Mayor
the machinists of Toledo, Influenced by their
irresponsible leaders to believe that the price
or living had advanced while their wages re-
mained at standstill, where impudent enough
to not only demand larger share of what they
produced but, failing to secure the desired re-
sponse to their preposterous claim, they fol-
lowed the advice Of their anarchistic advisers
and went on strike.
Immediately the Manufacturers' Association
Of Toledo, backed by the national organiza ton
Of manufacturers, proceeded to exercise their
God-given right to import from convenient
sources maintained for the purpose an army of
gunmen, thugs, so-called detectives, scabs and
strikenreakers to properly teach the strikers
their duty 10 their superiors by the customary
method of bludgeoning them into submission
Then the true character of this man WhitIock
asserted itself. Forgetful of his duty TO his
caste ana IN violation of all precedent, he or
dered his police force to arrest these mission
aries OF law and order as fast as they came
INTO town. He also issued proclamation to
tne manufacturers, who represented the wealth
ana respectability of the community and were
the pillars of the religious, social and CONNER
cial structure, not to mention their patronage
OF the various philanthropies arts, etc. advis-
ing them that the striking machinists were oitI-
zens OF Toledo and that their rights as such
were to be upheld; that they were as necessary
10 the prosperity and well being of Toledo az
the owners of the factories; and that he Whit.
icek, would continue to arrest their armed re-
lainers and thugs and jail them as fast aa
they entered the city limits
In view OF this incident can you wonder that

was ablaze and he hurried his family
out of the building.
The carpenter shop. which is one

to ashes, contained valuable carpenter

these were rescued from the blaze.
but the loss sustained by Mr.. Weast
will aggregate several hundred dol

The valuation of the contents of the
building was $500, Mr.. Weast said.
and on this amount he carried $500

building.
No oil or gasoline was stored in
the building. Sir. Weast had not

HOO-RAY! HAAS IS
ON THE Bel BOARD
Slate Arranged at Star. Chamber
Caucus-Eyerybody . Gum
Shoe Artist.

Details of the "star-c chamber" meet
ing of directors of the Cape Building
& Loan Association in which Judge B.
F. Davis agreed to allow himself to
be "rolled' in favor of H. H. Haas as
member of the new Board of Direc-
tors to be elected Monday, yesterday
became known.
A genuine "slate" was prepared at
the caucus Wednesday night, held by
the administration forces in the Off
ces of the association and presented
that night to Mr.. Haas for his APP
proval.
The "slate" contained Haas name
and those of all the administration di-
rectors now IN power, except Judge
Davis.
How the directors reached the con-
clusion to discard Judge Davis name
has not been revealed, but it is said,
the Judge has contemplated for some
time, resigning as attorney for the as
ISOLATION as we'll as director.
After the "slate" had been formed,
the directors carried their scheme a
step further. They created what prob
ably may known as "voting trust. u
The plan arranged for the selection
of single stakeholder upon whom all
proxies" collected both by the adj
ADMINISTRATION forces and Mr.. Haas,
should he agree to the 'slatc," were to
be bestowed and "vOtcd' when the
time comes Monday.
This individual stakeholder would
necessarily have to be neutral" it is
understood.
The entire proposition was put up
to Mr. Haas, who joined in the agree
ment.
DR.. w. f. IOunt was named at the
"star-chamber" session as first choice
to ''vot2" all the proxies" 1t had
been planned that should DIR. Yount
decline to serve in the capacity of
wholesale voter" for the directors,
Herman Bremermann, Of the First
National Bank, was to be approached
as second choice.
1t had not been learned definitely
yesterday if DIR. Yount wished to
serve.
The consideration that moved the
administration directors to hold their
caucus Wednesday night was the dis
cOvery that H. H. Haas h&s obtained
proxies" sufficient to elect him a di-
rector. Something hal to be done
then to keep the boat from being
crooked" too hard and to avoid a
chance that two of the old directors
might be spilled.
Judge Davis retirement from the
association marks the close of long
time Of service to the association. 1t
is openly stated that he performed the
legal work for the association at Il
price much less than similar legal adj
vice would cost elsewhere.
