HEY! LOOK WHAT I'VE FOUND!
MANIPULATION
SHOWN IN VOTE
l04 Ballots Thrown Out In Re-
count Had Been Tempered
With; No Results Changed

When recounting OF the alder.
manic vote in the Twenty ward
was completed Tuesday evening, 1o4
ballots had been cast out because
there were marks opposite the
names of more than two candidates
for alderman. Striking differences
between the markings led canvass

erately spoiled 10 manipulate the

no hope for defeated candidates.

tempt to give figures for Austria and
Germany. .et
A serious failure Of the foodstuffs
supply would be great blow to the
allied powers, which must so extern
sively buy. To Germany and Aus
tria, provided they had enough food
at home to meet their requirements,
the failure in the world outside
would be an advantage rather than
an injury. They cannot draw on the
outside, and their enemies would
have to pay more for their pur-
chases.
It is to be noted, however, that
the 1916 crop is larger than the
average for the five years preceding
the war, when the world was well
enough fed; SO It is to be assumed
that the economic position, as bear
ing on the capacity Of either side
to prosecute the war, is not greatly
changed by the crop conditions.

STATE RIGHTS ODDITIES

Strange how jealous some COM
monwealths can grow of States
rights upon occasion!
There Is the child labor bill, for
example. Far be it from any men,
bers to question the wisdom of this
measure. No one has been heard
proclaiming that it was a good thing
to have boys and girls in their early
teens working in factories and mills.
But the constitutional point--aye,
there's the rub. Even some New
England States, not hitherto known
to be highly sensitive on this point,
are jealous of this Invasion of our
sovereign rights"
None of these States ever waxed
alarmed when postoffices or roads
were to be appropriated for out OF
the Federal Treasury. All name,
of other Federal grabs have beer
attempted without any marked alarm
on their part. But prohibiting child
labor-that is most dangerous and
menacing!

HOLLAND AND ITS WOES

Germany not only has refused to
admit that a German submarine sank
the Dutch passenger steamer Tuban-
tia, but has declined further to dis
cuss the affair, informing the Dutch
governments that the incident is to be
regarded as, closed.
There is. practically no doubt what
really happened to the Tubantia. Her
case was marvelously like that Of
the Sussex, except that the Sussex
was a French vessel and the Tuban-
tia a neutral one. There was a very
insistent denial that a German tor
pedo struck the Sussex; it was ac-
companied by a fabric Of highly cir
cumstantial details. which afterward
proved to have been manufactured
out Of whole cloth. While Berlin
was sending word that it knew all
about the Sussex case, and even
presenting drawing Of the vessel
that was attacked, the German sub
marine that did the damage was in
the possession Of the allies, having
been captured, crew and all, before
its commander had had time to make
any report whatever to Berlin.
Naturally, Holland, in such cir.
cumstances, Is not disposed to place
much reliance in German assurances
about the Tubantia. There is nc
possible assurance that further at.
tacks on Dutch vessels will not be
made and denied. On the other hand
if Germany shall in desperation
plunge into a new and unrestricted
submarine campaign there is all rea'
sen to presume that neutrals-par.
ticularly the weak and comparativel,
defenseless ones--will be subjected
to humiliation and to serious losses

A BAD SION IN MEXICO

Anticipations Of unfortunate con-
sequences in Mexico from the shift
ing of military commanders by Car
rama may not be realized; but peo-
pie best informed about internal poll
tics in that country do not view with
competency the removal Of General
Trevino from command of the
northern forces Of Carranza.
1t is always difficult to determine
the motives actuating Carranza; but
in the present instance they may be
guessed with considerable conf
dence. General Oregon, the Car
ranzista minister Of war, is not de-
voted to Trevino. He may very nat
urally have viewed with disaffection
the evidence of Trevino's successes,
both military and diplomatic. Ire
vino is comparatively a young man,
graduate of the famous Mexican
military academy at Chapultepec,
which is the West Point Of that
country, and has turned out some
excellent military men. Trevino is
thoroughly educated, gentleman OF
culture and Of parts, and an intelli.
gent enough man to realize the ut.
ter futility of any policy that will
not have the acquiescence and CO
operation Of the, United States.
There is none Of the lingo and the
bigot about Trevino. AS military
commander in the north he has beer
restraining influence at all times
trying in every way to keep the
Mexican irreconcilables in hand
Oregon could not have failed tt
note that Washington managed t.
get along pretty well with Trevino
He has observed limitations tha
American influence might one o.
these days be enlisted to make Ire
vino at least temporarily head O.
affairs in Mexico. 1t has not pleased
Obregon, probably has distinctly dis
pleased Carranza; and so Trevino il
ordered back to Mexico City, an,

Herrera, an inferior man and hater
of Americans, takes command in the
north.
II is not a good omen for the
future. Mexico needs to encourage
the efforts Of men who would keep
on the best possible terms and main
tain the most intimate understand
ing with Washington. Carranza has
something like a genius for doing
the wrong thing in everything that
concerns his relations with this
country. He has demonstrated It
once more in the recall Of Trevino
and the promotion of Herrera.
