be seen at the last, is that these men,
practically ignored Gen. Carranza's
representative came armed with argu-
ment that the Carranza element, in
control of the larger part of the coun-
try, its capital and its principal ports,
is that on which most deserves con-
sideration and recognition. A little
more than a year ago Gen. Carranza
was urging, as against the Huerta's
provisional government, that these
same attributes of comparative SOW
ereignty were not enough to warrant
recognition. Mr.. Wilson at that time
concurred in the Carranza opinion.
Carranza's present contention is, how
ever, unassailable in logic, and recog-
milton of the paramount power in such
case had always been a part of
the continental policy of the United
States until Mr. Wilson saw fit to
depart from it. If Carranza is now as
strong in Mexico as Huerta was for
more than a year after Mr.. Wilson's
Inauguration, which we are much in
clined to doubt, his standing before
the conference ought to be stronger
than that of his rivals.
The movement of United States
military forces from Fort Sill to Ell
Paso is indicative OF nothing more
than evidence of an understanding
that, however the conference may re-
suit, its action will lead to renewed
depredations along the border The
Mexican situation is plainly nearing a
breaking point. There will be erup-
tions of bandits. cutthroats and des-
peradoes of all sorts across the line

Nearing a Breaking Point.

The first meeting of diplomatic rep
resentatives of Latin-American repub-
lies with Secretary Lansing, called
for the pacification of Mexico, found
itself without even a tentative propos-
al before it. Mr.. Wilson had COM
municated to it nothing of any plan
or purpose he himself has in view.
This is the less to be regretted, how
ever, because the conference is expect
ed to bring a full and free inter-
change of views, and to avoid sus-
picion, of which the Latin-Americans
seem never able to free themselves,
that giant must always use his
strength as a giant, and that the atti-
tude of the United States, in all con-
tinental affairs, must be always dicta-
torial If not always aggressive. The
president has done we'll in leaving it
to some of the smaller nations to
the south to take an initiative.
A danger of the situation is revealed
at the outset of the conferences. Mexi-
can politicians representing all of the
contending factions were on hand, and
more are to come. What can be seen
now, at the first, as clearly as it will

Members of the public utility COM
mission say that they are having con-
siderable trouble with the railroads
in their efforts to get universal COOP
Grafton in the enforcement of orders
which they recently issued. When the
order went into effect reducing the
rates throughout the state, a number
of the roads began to pull a heavier
mileage than before. This was true
between western slope points and
Denver. The roads took advantage
of the order to pull larger mileage.
The commission Immediately issued
second order directing the railroads
not to pull a greater mileage under
new order than they had previously
pulled before the order went into ef-
feet Again, following the order that
all passengers must be given seats.
some of the railroads refused to let
passengers with tickets board the
trains If there were not seats other
than in the Pullman cars. The com
mission issued an order Wednesday.
the intent of which is to place a stop
on this and to compel the railroads
to allow passengers to enter trains
as long as there is a seat left. no diff
ference whether it be in the Pullman
or the day coach.
