An Attempt

"What?"
"Sallie has Joined the suffragette
movement She's full Of 1t, as all new

And, worst Of all. It's making her

A few weeks later these two young

NO FAVORITE.

Persons who have supposed that a
deep game was being played in
Washington with view to making a
particular man provisional president
Of Mexico are informed by Secretary
Lansing that the government has no
fayorite in the races. According to
the official statement, the idea OF
choosing a man has not been cCnsid-
cred, and this, of course, is as it
should be. The joint appeal to Next
co asked the leaders there to bring
their strife to an end and to begin
conferences in neutral territory look
iag to the establishment of govern
ment by Mexicans. That request was
made in good faith and with recogni-
ton of the fact that the only lasting
peace in Mexico will be peace that
Mexicans make. A government or
gained according to plans made in
4 foreign capital and supported by
foreigners is not likely to allay ill
feeling or command support in a
country torn by rival factions. An
attempt by the United States to es-
tablish such a government would be
. last resort and would probably
need something more than moral
support if it outlasted the opposition
of those who belonged to parties not
favored in Westinghouse. Louis
Republic.

CLOTURE COMING.

AS the time approaches for the
converting of the new congress in
creasing thought is being given to
the question of cloture in the senate.
1t is only a matter of time until the
rules of the senate will be so changed
as to permit the majority to rule;
the only question is as to whether
the change will be made now or lat
er. 1t is inconceivable that "a SEN
ate, representing the people and
elected by the people, will perma-
nently subject itself to so undemo-
cratic rule as that which now per-
mits minority to force it's will upon
the majority. This is reform ad-
ministration coming as the culmina-
ton of fight that lasted for 16
years. In 1912 the house stripped the
speaker of despotic power and gave
the house rules consistent with rcp-
resentativs government. In 1914 the
administration was given demo-
cratic congress, and increased by
three the democratic majority in the
senate. 1t is now possible for the
senate to take the last step neces-
sary for the instituting of thorough
democratic government at Washing
we'll as economical, weighs in favor
of immediate adoption of cloture
rule which, while preserving freedom
OF debate and ample time for thor
ough discussion of questions and
measures before the senate, will put
1t in the power of the majority of
that body to close the debate when
ever an attempt is made to !obstruct
the will of the majority There is
much remaining to be done-busi-
ness which would have been complet-
ed by the former congress but for
the minority obstruction which the
present rules make possible.
1t is easy to understand why re-
dictionary members of the republican
party objected to change
the natural result of the present rule
IS to prevent the enactment of rene
dial measures, but how can any pro-
gresslve democrat, progressive re-
publican, or liberal minded member
OF any, party justify himself in sun
porting the antiquidatcd rules by
which majority is able to deter
mine what reforms shall be inaupur-
ated? So long as unlimited discus
sion is permitted, the senate pro-
gram is determined, not by those
who want,to go forward but by those
ho-obJect to any change in the pres
ent laws.
The democrats of the country are
praying that the senate will put it,
self in line with the progressive ten
dency OF the times in the matter of
rules and that it will do so at once.

THE PRESIDENTS BURDENS.

1t is to be hoped that the millions
OF Americans who are so admirably
served by their president at this time
Will bear him in their thoughts and
their affections. A profound senti-
ment of admiration is ELECTED by the
manner in which he has carried bur-
dens of supendous proportions and
his accomplishing and patient spirit.
These are not burdens of policies for
which Mr.. Wilson might himself be
largely accountable. lney are bur-
dens of humanity and burdens of ma
tional honor and burdens of the
country's security. They are the bur-
dens of every man who lives beneath
the American flag.
Upon the staggering load of diff
culties that have arisen in the peace
full path of the country, the president
moves forward with the steady pur-
pose Of preserving both the facts and
the ideals of right as they are under
stood and enjoyed by the people of
the United States. With quick success
sion arise questions that go to the
very roots of international law, ques-.
tons of character that, in normal
times. would call for months of re-
search and deliberation. But they.
have to be grasped and decided al
most in a moment; and the decision

TO THE PRESIDENTS CRITICS.
When the Arabic was sunk there

When the Arabic was sunk there
was instant demand on the part of
certain critics to the administration
for an immediate rupture of diplo-
matte relations with Germany. How
short is the step from this point to
war the history of nations prove.
President Wilson refused to be STAN
peded, and quietly announced that
he proposed to wait until the facts
were fully before him before taking
action. Now comes a telegram to
the herman ambassador from his
home government declaring that that
government has, -as+yyeett, no official
knowledge Of the occurrence, asking
that action be deferred until Ger
many's side of the case can be heard
and asserting that if Americans have
lost their lives on the steamer that it
was contrary to the intentions" of
the Berlin government At the mo-
ment we should like merely to ask
the presidents critics two, questions.
At previous stages in the negotia-
lions with Germany the president
has disregarded the clam0r for i'm
mediate action and taken time for in
vestigation and elaboration. When
the action came, after such delibera-
ton, has it ever smacked of weak
ness or indecision? And second: in
view of the tenor and temper of the
dispatch just received from Berlin,
do the jingoes wish that the presi-
dent had broken off diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany last Friday, re-
gardless of the inc0mpleteness of his
