As has been the case every week
the past winter, this section of the
country had some weather last week.
To begin with, last Thursday was
one of chose raw, sour, cold and mean
days which are liable to blow In at
this time of the year. And that
night snow fell to the depth of two
or three inches, if it had been left
alone, which it was not. Wind blew
the snow into all sorts of heaps, leav-
ing great bare spots acres in extent.
Then more snow came on Saturday.
But Sunday noon the sun broke out
and thawed things, and on Monday
the warm sunshine played the very
deuce with that snow fall, leaving
nothing but the memory of couple
Of mighty mean days.

who think they know the Presidents mind. that
Huerta will not be welcome at tho White House
The President, of course, has authorized no such

Huerta for an audience Any conclusion that
President Wilson Will refuse to receive Huerta is
therefore hasty and without present justification.
This government never recognized Huerta as
President of Mexico. and. 1t is true. never on
friendly terms with him. II clashed with him
frequently because hostilities in Mexico menaced
this country's interests. sent feet to humble
him and finally chiefly instrumental in driv

Of President Wilson negotiated with Huerta dur

regard TO the somewhat mysterious flag incident
at Vera Cruz. 1t cannot be forgotten. either
that while Huerta ruled at Mexico City Ameri-
can life and property was safeguarded. and In
the riotous days preceding his departure II was
his iron will and hand that prevented the popu-
lace from wreaking vengeance upon our peo-

Villa and Carranza for murder and robbery of
foreigners in the territory by their armies. but

Huerta has sauted the American flag and
the American people score OF times, through
his interpreter since he arrived in New York;
and what is also important. 1t is said he IS on
the water wagon. He IS in fact reformed and
chastened Indian. HIS Intellectual power has
never been questioned and he knows more about
Mexico, probably, than any man living. The
President can hardly afford to forego the op-
portunity TO confer with him; he may learn
something to the advantage OF his government

a WISE DECISION.

The Supreme Court OF Maryland has decided
that the notorious Reno divorce Ia not legal In
the State Of Maryland: that divorces OBJ
viously matters of convenience shall not be
recognized IN that State.
This Is ono OF the best antdotes for the
divorce evils we have heard OF. In fact ii Is the
only effectual legal antidote save Federal
statute governing marriage and divorce. said
statute to prohibit divorce throughout the union.
There has been agitation OF such pro
vision IN the national constitution. but II has
never made much Roadway. II few more
States will only follow the example OF Mary
land and put the stamp OF Judicial disapproval
performed an incalculabe service to the country
While would not undny criticize the judieu-
airy, II Is still fact that In many States the
granting OF divorces has been facilitated beyond
all reason. That one State should set It's judicial
iace firmly against 1t is a most hopeful sign.
II is stated appeal may be taken to the
United States Supreme Court. On Just what
grounds such an appeal would be based we are
unable to discern. Certainly when a field of
legislation has been handed over exclusively 10
the State and when the Federal government has
decided TO undertake its supervision, the
right can scarcely reside in the Federal courts
to undertake the overthrow Of State DECISIONS
