WHY A CONFERENCE?

4 writer with a statistical turn OF
mind discovers that Carranzas note
which President Wilson accepted as a
basis OF negotiations calls the Wash
incton administration untruthful nine
times, questions its good faith five
times, accuses It of inconsistency six
times and warns it to get out Of Mex
co three times. Still Democratic de-
tenders of the Wilson policy charge
that the Republican party is respon-
sibIe for the condition Of affairs IN
Mexico and on the border. What in
efrable folly. To what desperate
straits must the Democracy be re-
duced when it is pushed TO the ex-
tremity of charging that the Repuolt-
cans provoked the massacre at Car.
razal.
General Carranza is more credit
able authority on that matter, and what
is more Illuminating than his recent
interview given to a correspondent OF
the Associated Press, in which he de
clared: What is bothering us at the
present time is the presence of Am
erican troops on Mexican soil. This
is hindering our work Of reconstruc-
ton and pacifcation, because 1t gives
encouragement. to the lawless Gle
ments Of our population. 1t is to OBJ
yiate this that the coming conference
will be held" If this be true. then
what is the use of holding confer
ence. If that is all that is keeping
Mexico back it would be an easy mat
ter for the President to withdraw our
troops without resorting TO confer
ence. General .Carranza is unmis-
takably plain in saying that the con-
ference is to obviate the conditions
arising from the presence of General
Pershing's troops in Mexico. AS there
was never any legitimate reason. for
sending these troops into Mexico in
the first place, and as it is perfectly

except that he will not be permitted
to hold party offices OF various kinds
1T is not intended" adds the secre-
tary, that government service shall
curtail or interfere with the exercise
Of a persons civic rights and duties
as a citizen" That is a license 10
Presidential appointees TO get busy,
with an intimation that they must not
be caught.
When the postmasters Of the coun'
try met in convention in Washington
a few weeks ago the President mellt-
huously addressed them as Fellow
Democrats" which made plain that
every postmaster was expected TO do
his duty-by the President. as a mat
ter OF course. It was quite thoughtful
of the administration to pave the way
for the partisan zealot who owes his
Job to the administration. That a
presidential appolntee shall De allow
ed ito take such part in political cam
paigns as is taken by any private
citizen" in conclusive proof that tue
bars are down. The President him.
self has.set the example. For the very
day that Secretary McAdoo issued the
campaign rules to the thousands Of
Presidential appointees it was an
nounced that five members Of the
Presidents own cabinet would begin
campaigning in Maine soon. These
secretaries are Baker, Gregory, Red
field, Wilson and Daniels. II becomes
clearer and clearer as the days go by
that the desperate Democracy is over
looking no bets.
