Major General Funston, now in per-
sonal command of the American
forces at Brownsville. Tex, reported
today that all was quiet across the
border at Matamoras, where Villa
force is preparing to renew Its attack
on the Carranza garrison II is ex-

the war department as follows:
General Funston has telegraphed
that officers on duty at the border
during the recent fighting at Mata-

wall. And from 1871 to 1910 as sur
veyor-general under three changes of
the Hawaiian government, he became
so well versed in the geography Of
Hawaii and reported his surveys SO
accurately, that the Royal Geographic
Society Of England took him in as a
fellow. His several histories of the
Hawaiian Islands and his scientific
treatises also brought him honor In
1893, when the Republic OF Hawaii
was formed. his scholarly ability and
historical knowledge we're brought to
bear upon the drafting of constitu-
ticn, and together with his co-workers

So, at his death. Hawaii lost a reliable
historian one of the greatest workers
for her welfare and most distinguish
ed son.
David Dwight Baldwin, Yale 1857, is
another son of whom Yale may we'll
be proud. From 1865 to 1872 he was
connected with the Kohala Sugar Plan
taticn and did effective work in the
sugar industry. In 1874, after receiv
ing his degree. M. A.. he returned to
Hawaii to take up his work as an edu-
Gator in the islands At first he was
assistant principal at Lahainluna and
then inspec.or-general of schools.
While holding the latter position he
had the English language made the
foundation of learning in the school
room, thereby introducing the modern
method of teaching In the public
schools. He was next principal OF the
Hamakuapoko English school. And in
1906, after holding that position for
Is years, he became interested in pine
apple growing as an industry and was
one of the pioneers Of the pineapple
industry. He died In 1912 much re-
GREETED by all who knew him.
Z Thus Yale men have accomplished
great deal In the history-making Of
Hawaii and have been strong influ-
ence for the advancement Of Hawaii.

WELCOMING THE BOLTER.

For the first time since 1912 re-
publican voters have had chance to
say what they think of bolter who
goes out and tries to destroy his par
ty, and then comes back asking for
favOrs at it's hands.
Eugene Foss began political life as
a rock ribbed republican. Then he
turned democrat and was elected gov
ernor of Massachusetts, three times
On the democratic ticket. He want
ed to be the democratic candidate for
president in 1912. Baked Of that
wish, he went back to the G. O. P,
and this year sought the republican
nomination for the governorship.
The primaries were held Tuesday.
There were five republican candi-
dates. The highest received 1880
votes, the ,lowest-except Foss-got
49,s46 votes, the total number of re-
publican ballots was 258, 399-and
only 1O,204 Of these were cast for
Eugene Foss. The returning prodigal
got the support of less than 4 per
cent of his party.
If T. Roosevelt can find any COM
fort in these figures he is indeed the
prince of Cptimists.

THE NEW MEXICAN PLAN.

The conclusion reached by the Pan
American conference on Mexican af-
fairs is that latter a further meet
ing three weeks hence, each of the
republics involved is to recognize for
mally as the de facto government of
Mexico either of the present provi-
sional governments which possess
1.-The material and moral capacity
necessary to protect the lives and
property Of nationals and foreigners.
That the republics represented by the
conferees may not agree simultane-
ously as to whether either OF the
warning Mexican factions has yet
formed an effective government is
not likely, so provision is made that
recognition shall be extended separ-
ately by each country lat such times
as it may deem proper
The understanding has been that II
all the faction leaders in Mexico did
not accept the original suggestion OF
the Pan-American conference and
Join in the proposed amicable meet
ing to arrange for peace the discord-
ant faction would be disregarded IN
the future proceedings of the media
tors. No official announcement was
made of this course; the conferees
were not committed to it, nor have
intelligent observers Of Mexican al
fairs ever believed that to ignore Car
rama would be wise, but they have
hoped that firmneSs on the part OF
the mediators would induce him to
yield.
The outcome of the deliberations,
h0 nnnCfjOn
practically where it was before the
first meeting of Secretary Lansing
and the representatives OF the South
and Central American republics.
Recognition of Carranza is clearly IN
the minds of the conferees, although
an opportunity is to be accorded to
opponents to state their own claims.
President Wilson's forcibly expressed
warning to the Mexican leaders as
long ago as June to settle their
disputes within a very short time
conveyed to the world the impression
that if the warning was unheeded
the United States government would
adopt other means to pacify the coun-
try. 1t is not likely that the plan he
had in view, if he could not induce
the leaders to lay down their arms
and come to a reasonable agreement,
was formal recognition of the one
faction leader who refused to listen
to the proposal. Carranza might as
we'll have been recognized long ago.
Since the battle of Leon his party
has been much stronger than Villas.
But, obviously, it has not been strong
enough to protect the lives and prop
ertv of nations and foreigners
throughout Mexico, and it's power to
develop the material and moral
capacity" necessary to that end with
in the next three weeks has not been
very clearly indicated in such news as
we have been recently getting from
Mexico The amiable and commend
able idea OF enlisting the aid OF our
neighbors on this continent in the
effort to end the war in Mexico has
not worked as well in practice as
President Wilson's friends have hop

THE OLD GUARD BARS THE WAY

Those cute politicians who hope to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt for
president on the republican ticket by
a misuse of the presidential primary
law had better read an article written
by William Howard Taft shortly after
he ceased to be president. Mr.. Taft
said, in substances:
There are at least a million old.
line republicans who hold that the
chief political duty of themselves and
of their party is to make sure that
Theodore Roosevelt never again Oc-
cupies the White House."
No one ever accused Mr.. Taft OF
bluffing, of overstating facts, or OF
having a short memory.
Mr.. Roosevelt never will get the
nomination he is seeking. The re-
publican party has no notion of sur
rendering to the defeated bolter who
tried to destroy it. But even il a
dozen successive miracles-and at
least that number are needed-should
place Roosevelt's name at the head of
the republican ticket, the old guard
that blocked him in 1912 would crush
him in 1916.
He is busy, active, resourceful
person, is T. r., but some kind friend
really ought to tell him that his po-
litical career is over.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

LET THEM INVESTIGATE.

A suggestion has been made, from
sources not too friendly to the presl'
dent, that if he should call an extra
session of the senate that body will
extend the work mapped out for 1t sc
as to include an investigation OF at
fairs in Mexico and the manner in
which the president has guided the
policy of the United States toward
that country.
We fancy this suggestion, which
was intended to be half a threat, will
not deter the president from calling
the senate together. Watchful wait
ing has been a much berated policy
but the results of it are now growing
clear and the country has reason tC
be satisfied with the outcome. We
have not sent our soldiers to the City
of Mexico as the interventionists de.
handed They have not been killed
in battle and they have not died by
the thousands of tropical diseases as
they would have died if they had been
sent to compel Mexican compliance
with the American will. Surely every
one in the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt and Col. Henry Watterson
included, is glad of that.
Out of the strife and confusion in
Mexico one government is steadily rls-
ing in strength and the power to con-
troll disorder Gen. Carranza, who
heads that government, has no muir
der to answer for. He did not gain
his place by assassination but by un-
relenting opposition to the man and
the forces who tried to overthrow
constitutional government in Mexico
and substitute the rule of a dictator
When he set his face against Huerta
Gen. CarranZa was a governor OF a
Mexican state, and his position as the
leader of an armed faction was the
necessary result of his determination
not to bring that state under gov
eminent which was unconstitutional
and criminal. His whole career marks
him as man who will restore cOnsti-
tutiOnal government when he has the
power
The continued triumphs of the
Carranza army make it apparent that
his government will shortly be recog-
mixed by all of the American repub-
lies. That recognition will strength
en- him and bring the pacification Of
Mexico close at hand. This also is
a restlt that everyone will approve
and prefer to anything that would
have been accomplished by interven-
ton or the recognition of a govern
h4c:t founded on murder.
The extra session is wanted to
clear the senate calendar and make
way for businesslike session of con-
gress. 1t is wanted because the SEN
ate rules must be changed so that
the senate will be truly celebrating
body and not a filibustering body.
and if republican politicians, looking
for campaign ammunition, insist
upon dragging in the Mexican ques-
ton let them. Watchful waiting
will stand the test.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

THE MASSACHUSETTS CAM
pAIGN.

A second trial of strength between
the two 1914 candidates for COVER
nor in Massachusetts Is assured this
year by the nomination at the repub-
lican primaries of former Represen-
tative Samuel w. Mccall. There was
naturally little opposition in the
democratic party to the renomina-
ton of Governor Walsh, who defeat
ed Mr.. Mccall last November by H.
S15 votes, but Mr.. Mccall won his
nomination only after hard fight.
Mr.. Mccall is the finest type of
conservative republicans. No public
man has attacked more vigorously
the progressive theories of govern
ment or exposed more unsparingly
the frailties of the third party pro-
gram. He has never been the kind
of trimmer to shift his course from
the desire for popularity or from
passing motives of party expediency
During the twenty years that he was
in the house he proved himself a
man of great force and personal in
dependence. He should have been
the choice of Massachusetts republi-
cans for United States senator three
wears ago, but the very elements of
his personal strength were the cause
of his political weakness in straight
party test. :,
Last year the progressives polled
over $4,000 votes in Massachusetts,.
The party has now practically dis
appeared as an organization, and the
election will be a straightout contest
between the kind of democracy Gov.
Walsh represents and the kind OF re-
publicanism Mr.. Mccall represents.

ENSLAVING THEMSELVES.

Great Britain's debt before the war
broke out was $3.50, 100000. 1t
has nearly doubled that figure at the
end CT the British fiscal year, March
31st, last. The total of that date
will be doubled again by March 81
next, in the estimates of the Chancel-
Tor of the ExcheQuor given to Parlia-
ment-a dead weight of debt" of
$11,OO0,0O0,00O.
The phrase is well chosen. 1t will
be dead weight of proportions never
before imposed on an industrial civil
ization. The vanquished in war afore-
time became slaves. The victOrs be-
came the owners of their labor Ger
many in 1871 changed the form but
not the substance in taking billion
dollar cash indemnity from France,
which put French industry under
substantial bondage to Germany for
generations ahead.
Now victors and vanquished alike
are enslaving themselves. They are
so far enslaved to their own mOnu-
mental debts that the victors in slav-
cry at the end will be unable to. col
lect productive indemnities from the
vanquished, equally enslaved. Taxes
must be piled upon taxes merely to
carry along this dead weight of debt.
They are already reaching proper
lions in all the belligerent countries
which will cripple industry for gener-
ations to come. They may not then
be equal to the interest demands of
this brutal taskmaster, Debt, upon
each Of these nations of slaves.
When this point will be reached we
cannot tell. 1t cannot be far off as
war costs are now mounting, and
when it comes the war must end. But
there will then remain such condi-
ton of widespread industrial slavery
as the world never saw before or ever
had to deal with against internal
revolution.-New York World.
