Edison VIII Help Wilson.

Thos. E. Edison. wizard OF electric.
ity, has announced his purpose to sup
port Wilson. Mr.. Edison would, in.
deed, be an ingate II he did not do
so. Those who recall the extent to
which the Navy Department under Mr..
Wilson has patronized Mr.. Edison and
bought his inventions. going to the
extent OF fitting navy submarines with
Edison batteries even before those bat
teries had been tested out, will not be
surprised at Mr.. Edison's determine
ton. When the E.2, in which an Edi.
son battery was installed, generated
gas which killed a number Of the sail.
ors, there was emphatic protest from
officers against the further use OF
these batteries until they had been
further investigated and proved safe,
but Secretary Daniels promptly util.
lied his military authority to suppress
the facts and save Mr.. Edison from
fertilization and loss, while no change
was made in the policy of using Edi.
son inventions to the utmost in naval
construction. Even II the cynical
French DETECTION Of gratitude. "a live
ly appreciation Of favors to come" be
accepted, there is every reason why
Thos. A. Edison should support Wood.
row Wilson. Mr.. Edison doubtless an.
preciates that "a vote for Wilson is a
vote for Daniels"

How carranza Loves ua.

Announcement that Gen. Carranza
has restored to its British owners the
Mexican Railway. while he still retains
the National Railways of Mexico,
owned chiefly by the Americans has
aroused Indignation which the admin.
istration attempts in some measure
to allay by the assurance that the cues.
ton OF Mexican railways will be one
OF the subjects discussed at the com.
ing conference. The Carranza regime
Is directly responsible for the great
loss incurred, by Americans who nut
their money into the National Rail.
ways Of Mexico. The forfeiture Of the
railroad was without even pretense of
justification by law, and for two years
the owners have struggled to regain
possession only to be treated with as
great contempt as Carranza has al.
ways shown President Wilson and his

Unexpected Hostility.


From an unexpected quarter comes
severe arraignment Of President VIII.
son because Of his course In forcing
Congress to increase by federal stat
ute the pay Of the railway employees.
The president Of the Texas Farmers
Union has issued statement declar.
ing that. "The people of this nation
have, during the past week, passed
through the most humiliating expert.
ence this nation has ever endured. A
few labor union leaders have stood at
the portals OF Congress demanding
that the government give them a ram
som or they would wreck society. This
nation. instead Of meeting the situa.
ton bravely. has delivered the goods
In fear and trembling" The state.
ment goes on to point out that when,
two years ago, cotton was selling at
6 cents pound as result Of the Eu.
ropean war, and poverty stalked
through the Southland" 1t was declared
that Congress could not help. 1.-THE
organized plowmen pleaded with Con-
gress for relief" continues the state.
ment, but we were told that it would
not be constitutional for the govern.
ment to undertake to fix the prices Of
cotton or to advance money on cotton
In storage and that Congress was a
slow moving body and could not meet
emergencies" The opinion OF the man
In the street seems to be that while
President Wilson has made a strenu.
GUS effort to gain the labor vote and
may in some measure have been sue
cessful. he has lost far more than he
VIII gain and that especially has he
lost the farmer vote, for when all is
said and done 1t is still true that ut is
the farmer who pays the freight"

To a Reader Of History.


President Wilson likes to refer to
himself as "a historian" and often uses
the expression, From my reading OF
history" A new York historian, whose
name is unimportant, asserts that eth.
or Mr.. Wilson's reading of history has
been superficial, or that he lacks the
courage to govern his acts according
to history's best precedents. He cites
a statement of that eminent patriot.
Josiah Quincy. Mr.. Quincy wrote:
But to my eye, the path of our duty
Is as distinct as the Milky Fay. It is
the path Of active preparation, Of dig.
nified energy. It Is the path Of 1776!
1t consists not in abandoning our
rights in supporting them. as they ex.
list, and where they exist,-on the
ocean rs Well as on the land. But I
shall be told This may lead to war;
ask, Are We now at peace?' Certain.
ly not. unless retiring from insult be
peace; unless shrinking under the lash
be peace! The surest way to prevent
war is not to fear 1t. The idea that
nothing on earth is so dreadful as war
is inculcated too studiously among us.
Disgrace Is worse! Abandonment Of
essential rights is worse!"
This same historian also calls Mr..
Wilson's attention to a message sent
by Secretary Blaine to our Minister at
Mexico City. The Minister, Mr.. Nor.
gan. had reported to Washington Ger.
tain outrages perpetrated on American
in remote part Of Mexico. He re.
ceived from Mr.. Blaine this cable.
gram: Read this to the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs: Outrages on Ameri.
can citizens must stop, not next week
but now. And II they do not, the en-.
tire power Of this government will be
brought to bear to stop them. Blaine.
Needless to say, they stopped.

"Pitiless Publicity"

the army in Mexico and especially
Gen. Funston's recommendation that

spondents are being grilled in an eff.

got the information. The army Off.

and so some one must be punished for
his responsibility for that "pitiless
publicity" which Mr.. Wilson so enthu.
