education of the child absolutely free
TO the parents Of rural pupils. At the
last session of the Legislature, an
attempt was made TO have the num-
Der raised to three. hundred in each
of the counties. but it failed Of ap-
proyal, and very justly failed, as the
results of the examinations Of the
pupils from the rural schools has re-
Gently shown.
The real facts are, that the rural
schools are not kept up to the courses
Of education prescribed, and the chill
dren are not properly instructed and
grounded in the branches taught in
the rural schools, to enable them to
enter the town schools even OF SINH
lar grades. In plain language-the
rural schools are maintained in the
majority Of the districts, at the very
lowest possible money cost to the
people OF the district; no matter how
inexperienced or poorly equipped the
teacher may be, just so they will
teach for the miserable pittance oI
thirty-five dollars per month fol

The Teutons must not forget however. that the So

troll his lieutenants and followers, his
present position would entitle him 10
recognition, or at least would justify
the United States in taking the risk
of recognizing him as provisional
president. The protest Of the Cath
olic clergy OF Mexico, however, dis
closes such villany on the part OF the
Carranza forces as to make it ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether any gov
ernment composed of such elements
could be imposed upon the Mexican
people, even temporarily, notwith-
standing the moral support of the
United States.
In extending recognition the United
States cannot go TO the extent Of
supporting any government in Mex
leo against revolution. 1t can place
an embargo upon arms and thereby
hamper revolution, but it cannot
bolster up government that is I'M
able TO put down revolution. If Car
ranzas folloing is so unfit as to
arouse the hatred and opposition OF
the people Of Mexico, nothing would
be gained by recognizing Carranza as
provisional president, for he would
never get so far along as to install
constitutional government
Is any faction in Mexico respect
able enough to command the conf
dence Of a considerable portion o.
the Mexican people? This question
should be answered affirmatiyely be
fore recognition is extended. If nom
of the factions is in that position
none should be recognized, and tn
Secretary OF State and his Latin
American associates should procee
with the plan for extending recogni
tion to a new organization distilc
J from any of the existing factions.

all quarters, while their information
is accurate only so far as it concerns
their own forces. If they could be
depended upon to tell the truth the
sum total of their information would

In view of the fact that the canal built under

Editorial Opinion
RAILROADS AND WAGES.


From the Washington Post
Demands for per cent. increase
have been filed by the switchmen's or
ganization and other classes OF labor
on the various railroads of the coun-
try In fact, there is a general move
ment on foot in practically every
quarter which has for its purpose the
securing of increased wages for rail-
road employees.
This propaganda no doubt is
actuated by the reports that are being
circulated concerning the increased
wages that various large munitions
concerns are paying their employees
and also by the general prosperity OF
the country The manufacturing con-
cerns. because OF the high prices they
are receiving for war munitions and
materials. can very readily advance
their scale of wages. Temporarily
at least they are more than cOmpenr
stated by the additional services that
are rendered. fr
The railroads, on the other hand,
are prohibited from raising their
charges, either in times OF peace or
times of war, and without some flexi-
bility OF the kind that exists in other
fields Of industry it will be impossible
for them to do very much, If anything.
in the way of increased compensation
for their employees. Furthermore, the
fact remains that in times Of depres-
sion it has been impossible TO effect
any reduction in the wages paid the
railroad employees.
Congress and all other authorities
must take this situation under con-
sideration in the near future. What
are the railroads going 70 do? How
are they going to meet the situation
They must be in a position TO afford
the service that the country requires
and should receive il progress is tc
continue.
The railroads compete with all 9th
er corporations with regard TO labor
and labor prices as well as in the pur.
chase OF materials. Every attempt
that is made TO raise rates is opposed
by the shippers, and the law OF supply
and demand, which operates in all
other business. is blocked, so far az
the railroads are concerned.
What would be the result if the
railroads were TO take the position
that there should be no wage in
creases until a corresponding in
crease was allowed in freight rates
If the employees refused TO accep
the companies decision and the rail
roads ceased operating, where woul,
the fault lie?
