rolling stock Of the railways has been

controlled various sections OF the coun-
try.
Some of our people think these prop
erty interests are behind the revolu-
tions and counter revolutions which
have gripped the country in an iron
hand since the regime of the elder
Diaz. But this isn't true. These prop
erty interests can only prosper when
peace and order prevail The worst
sufferers in any war are the response
bic property owners and those who
have had the thrift and industry to
save something for rainy day. Meth
er life nor property has been safe in
Mexico since Madero was murdered.
The fact that these vast property
interests are rich stake for exploiters
is an additional reason why Mexico
should have an honest, stable and re-
liable government. Minnesota has de,
veloped support fund for its school
system which makes it the model for
the whole country thru a tax Of IS
cents on the ore taken from the iron
mines around Duluth. If Mexico had
the sort Of government the country de-
serves it would protect the interests OF
the people by scrupulous regulation of
the mines, Oil wells, railways and other
industries. 1t would levy taxes on ore
and on the output Of oil wells with
which to build and maintain schools
and colleges. 1t would invite foreign
capital to develop the country but
would regulate it in the interest of the
people. And foreign capital would
welcome such regulations provided the
laws were honestly adm Mustered. No
industry can profit under such condi-
tons as now prevail in that country.
If war follows the present status be-
tween this country and Mexico 1t
should not end until Mexico has a gov
eminent not only capable of preserv-
ing order but it should possess the
honesty and the wisdom to protect the
interests Of the people by wise regu-
lation Of the captains Of industry who
are seeking TO make fortunes by ex-
plotting the country's resources.

BUNGLING PREPAREDNESS.


Investigation has shown that when
our regulars were ordered to the Dor
der they took with them all the ma
chine guns the government had, even
robbing the machine gun corps Of the
state militia. 1t has developed that it
will he at least three months before
the war department can be supplied
with an adequate number Of machine
guns of the type approved by the ord
nance bureau The only way we can
get any of these indispensable weapons
In shorter time is to commanded
shipments Of a less satisfactory type
Of gun which some of our factories
are turning out for the allies.
The amazing shortage OF machine
guns is the result Of an act of con-
gress. In 1914 an army appropriation
bill carried a provision that no more
Of the Benet- Mercier type Of gun were
to be made by the ordnance depart
ment and that the vickers gun was to
be used instead. On this point, Cen
eral Crozier chief Of the ordnance
bureau, says:
THE Vickers gun is better. This
department was in favor Of using 1t,
out TIC uePdi uiHenl Ioiu congress tndt
the Vickers gun was existent only in
model form and could not be turned
out right away. That was nearly
three years ago. Not only have we
been unable to obtain the guns long
ago ordered but also we have had to
get along without the old type gnn,
which could have been in the making
all this time

ness that the democratic congress ha &

we have been continually at the brink
Of war with two nations. It is case

WHERE WILL PROGRESSIvES GO?
1Dayenport Democrat


Papers are devoting quite little
space just now to the question Of what
is to become Of the progressive party.
Elsewhere on this page is printed the
comment of the Springfield Republican
on the opinions of two other repre-
sentative publications. Further light is
thrown upon the situation, il it wers
at all obscure, by the Philadelphia North
American, which Is pretty close to the
source of inspiration at Oyster Boy, and
which describes the situation as Sim
ply murderous." 1t says that events in
Chicago left the party in a well nigh
hopeless situation" and :ha. wha. has
followed has but reinforced the conclu-
sion that the progressive party is dead.
To that conclusion the North American
reluctantly comes, tho it states the
matter much more elegantly namely,
"the temporary elimination Of the pro-
gressive party as vital political or
ganIzation."
Already discussion has begun of
the partition Of the goods Of the
defunct. The North American holds
that ne-third Of the progressives will
do whatever Colonel Roosevelt tells
them to do. Another third will form
their judgments Independently most
OF them going for Hughes. The rest Of
the progressives will vote for Wilson.
This would divide the progressive
vote between Hughes and Wilson in
the ratio OF about to l.

vote, the democrats could ask MOTH

DON'T WALK DOWN THE AUTOS.
dubuque Times Journal.1

dubuque Times Journal
Much has been said about the care
lessness of some automobile drivers
and the danger to human life. Doubt
less a thoro discussion will improve
conditions. but it must be admitted that
the auto drivers are not a!bne to blame.
NJ ich of the danger is due to the care
lessness of pedestrians who fail to ex-
ercise proper care. They may consider
that priority in the field gives them the
right of way and that they are entitled
to advantages, but this Is not a rule of
reason. The automobile Is here to stay
and they are going to increase in num-
bers. What we must have is a uni
formty of thought and practice among
auto drivers and pedestrians. Certain
laws have been laid down for drivers
and they should be forced to observe
them to the letter. Likewise there are
regulations for pedestrians who must
understand what their observance
means. Pedestrians who leave them
selves liable Of meeting with accidents
are as detrimental to the protection of
the general public as the autos. Only
by the most thoro CO operation can this
evil be eliminated. Making the streets
safer Is work that demands the sup
port of the auto owners. the pedes-
TRANS, the authorities and the whole
people.

FAVORABLE REPORT ON
RURAL CREDITS BILL

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Hollis
rural credits bill. proposing loans to
farmers at Ave per cent interest, was
favorably reported to the senate to-
day. Non-partisan support for It
promises favorable action on It.
The bill provides for non-partisan
farm loan board, with-the secretary
OF the treasury as a member. This
board would charter local farm loan
banks, which would take mortgages
from farmers and issue bonds on
them. These would be exempt from
taxes and, moreover. the banks would
chargespo commissions, renewal fees
or discounts. Loans may be for as
long as 80 years. and payable in in
stallments. II enough local banks
are not started, the government
would aid In establishing 12 OF them.
The committee reporting the bill
claimed that II will standardise farm
loans and provide a system seriously
needed FOR the development Of the
nations agricultural resources.
