yeggs and stick-Ups have always

cording to Aid Merriam. and States
Atty Hoyne, there is running in this
city now and there has been running
for years an organized crime trust.
Four high crooks of the police de-
partment were convicted this sum-
mer by Hoyne's prosecution. The
juries in all the trials accepted the
evidence of burglars and con men,
members of the crime trust.

PAN-AMERICAN APPEAL FOR
PEACE IN MEXICO MADE
Washington, Aug. 14.-Pan-Amer-
lean appeal for peace in Mexico was
delivered to Gen. CaTranza today at
Vera Cruz. Upon his action alone,
officials admitted, largely depended
hope for conference which may result
in re-establishing orderly government
south of the Rio Grande.
While his defiant, almost belliger-
ent attitude has not made OfficiaIdOm
OVeT-Optimistic, the administration
still thinks there is a chance he will
prove responsive to it's OvertUres.
The next move expected from him is
a counter proposal which may be en-
tering wedge for negotiations lead
ing to agreement between factions.
The Pan-American appeal was sent
in Spanish directly to CaTTanza, Villa
ana ZapaCa. OLner copies, IN English
and Spanish, are being forwarded to
governors of all Mexican states, mill
tary and civil authorities and diplo-
matte. representatives of all countries
in Mexico.
Sec'y Lansing said that the peace
appeal probably will be made public
early next week.
Gen. Funston reported border
clashes becoming fewer and largely
of local character.

Cardinal Gibbons on Woman, the
Queen Of the World.

The letter on woman suffrage by
Cardinal GIBBONS, and the accompany.
ing statement by which he enlarges
and enforces It. represent the con.
s~ervative. some might say "the me.
diGval" view, the old and long re-
ligious view. Let us hear this
illustrious churchman. uttering an.
cient opinions, which may or may not
be approved by the moderns. but
which must have n wide echo in this
country and the rest of the world:
Woman is queen indeed. but her en-.
pire Is the domestic kingdom. The
greatest political tr!umphs she would
achieve In public life fade Into insignia.
cancs compared with the serene glory
which radiates from the domestic shrine
n which she illumines and warns by
her conjugal and motherly virtues. II
she u ambitious OF tho dual empire Of
public and private life. then. like the
tabled dog beholding his image In the
water. she will lose both, she will fall
" NhV AoANy PVANohaA "iNio hbu
and Christianity have placed her and
will fail to grasp the sceptre OF political
authority from tho strong hand Of her
male competitor.
Though woman Is debarred from
voting h brings into the world and
rocks the cradle OF the nations future
citizens. She rsars and moulds the char
acter OF those who are TO be the future
rulers and statesmen. the heroes and
benefactors OF tho country. Surely this
10 glory enough for her."
This assumes the whole case. does 1t
not? The other side assumes It too.
In all the States where this matter
is to be voted on the words of JAMES
Cardinal GIBBONS will be heard with
respect. And yet perhaps they are
not highly illuminaive. any more
than the other side would be.

plausible swindlers. st. Clair county

purpose. The bonds were Immediately
sold and passed into the hands Of
third parties. The road was never
built, the only reminder Of the great
project being a few rods Of embank.
ment overgrown with weeds.
Ever since st. Clair county has
sought to evade payment for its YEN
ture In high finance. The bondholders
got Judgments. but the county Judges
refused to make levies for payment.
Eventually an election to the bench
came to mean a term in the county
Jail for disobedience of the higher State
courts. The county seat degenerated
from n live business centre to a grass
grown village and the whole county
became known for its lack OF prog
ress. There was little incentive to
Improvement, the people said, under
such conditions.
In the meantime judgments and in

has become $4,OOO.OOO. The Judges Of
the st. Clair County Court and the
county oficials have just appeared in
the Federal court and told why they
cannot recognize the claim Of the
bondholders. The entire taxable val
uation Of the county is only $5,OOO,O0O,
they explain, and to pay the S4,O0O,OOO
would mean practically TO sell out the
county. Here Is an interesting prob
lem for the high courts and a lesson

The Attempt at Glen Cove.

Mr.. MoRGAN's assailant. whose at
tempt at murder yesterday wa:
marked by every indication Of pre-.
meditation and desperation. but was
apparently lacking in careful design
appears to have been infamed agains;
his victim by the exaggerated state.
ments of American responsibility for
the continuance Of the war in Europe
that have been INDUCED In generally
since the receipt of orders in this
country for rms and ammunition.
A gullible weakling. Of strongly emo.
tional disposition, his mind seems to
have been upset. and his deed com.
mitted in q frenzy Of insanity.
Against attacks by such demented
creatures no man can be effectively
guarded, although precautions which
Mr.. MORGAN did not take are possible.
To them all men are exposed. The
fact that the public attention be-
slowed on crimes of this character
Is in direct proportion to the rromi-
hence Of the victim frequently causes
US to overlook the number Of incon-
spicuous persons who suffer at the
hands Of fanatics, men with a mis-
sion. and lunatics possessed by a fixed
Idea Of world betterment or divine
appointment.
The excited volubility Of this would
be assassin appears to stamp him as
q man Of unbalanced intellect, whose
malignant purpose was inspired by
the recent activities of Mr.. MORGAN
In the prosecution Of his large bust
ness. The remarkable progress that
Mr.. MORGAN has made in public con.
hdence here and abroad since the ad.
ninistrauOn of the affairs Of his
great business devolved upon him Is
measured and expressed in the gen.
eral hope that the favorable progno.
sis Of his physicians may be justified
by Q quick recovery.

Tho Man Who Made Mckee.

From 1857 to 1877 PoRFIRIo DIAz
was q rebel; and a rebel not Of the
Washington type, but rather Of the
villa pattern. He was infinitely bet
ter Drained and trained than PANcHo
but he devoted Washingtonian abili-
ties to a Whistle enterprise. He sue
ceeded, and became President; mod
ern Mexico began to emerge.
Where chaos had been, the strong
hand of DIAz brought order. Fur
lhermore. and perhaps more difficult,
he convinced Europe that order had
come to stay, thut Investments In
Mexico were safe. 1t is in this sense
peculiarly that he made" Mexico I;
since his exile so wofully unmade.
Succeeded in 1850 by GONZALEZ, he
saw and his people saw threat Of re-
version. The constitutional single
term clause was erased. and from
1884 to 1911 DIAz was dictator"
Mexico thrOve. Four years ago the
MaderO revolution led to the abdica-
ton Of PoRFIRIo DIAz, and ever since
Mexico has dropped deeper into the
maelstrom Of savage anarchy.
In his exile PoRFIRIo DIAa was
not forgotten, and many a Mexican,
heartsick amid the ruins, must have
lOnged for such a dictator to take the
little factionists by the nape Of the
neck. knock their heads together and
force peace and prosperity on the
harassed land. DIAz the Spaniard,
HUIRTA the Indian; dictator that long
was, dictator that might have been A:
two strong men who make the BAN
tams in the Mexican cockpit to-day
ridiculous by contrast.
We are not to be considered Huer.
dsta recruits II we suggest that the
news of DIAz's entrance upon the
Final Exile can stir In no human
breast reflections and emotions more
poignant than those which must
crowd the mind Of the distinguished

self an exile.
PoRFIRIo DIAz was perhaps not
loved by many. but he was admired
by not a few and respected by all
who felt his power or enjoyed it's ne.
suits. Mexico lost him not on July Q,
1915, but four years ago; and lost a
man. Is she ever to look upon his
