Are We "StalIinq?"

Undoubtedly any delay in the precipitation of a break with Mexico would be advantage to this country suggested in Associated Press dis patch from San Antonio, Texas, yesterday morning That carries with it, though a confession of our own great unreadiness for such break in spite of the evident trend of during the two years and in spite of the absolute certainty within the last six months that inevitable. The confession true as it is is humiliating.
 We are now getting ready though, by calling un- trained troops and skeleton organizations the border where the process of training and standardization der midsummer sem-tropical is to be carried on. After while doubtless will be ready fight.
 But there will probably be further delays unless the Mexicans should force the situation faster than we will be able to recede from it. The matter of the prisoners having been disposed of, we are complying with the demand of Carranza that we shall move neither south, east, west" in Mexico. We have ceased moving in any of those prohibited directions since the battle of Carrizal according to the dis patches we availing ourselves of the permission of CarranZa to north It is true that Carranza having jurisdiction this side of the border we may move troops south long we remain on our own territory. That is demonstration we may make with safety in spite of Carranza's orders.

 Immortal, simple, true Americans we are, and brave at heart And every man of us will do his part
 Let our declaration stand,
 Soul afame and flag in hand, We will serve in peace and with willing heart.

The Impending Railway Strike

Regardless of the merits of the wage dispute be- tween the railways and train service brotherhoods out of which it is probable there will be parayzng strike, one offer of the railways commends itself to the consideration of the public. That is the propos ton to submit the dispute to the interstate commission. There is also movement looking to legislation compel the submission of all such dis putes to the commission The railways in this also offered to submit the arbitration under the Newlands act
 But for obvious reasons the interstate commerce commission would be the better tribunal. This mission regulates the incomes the roads may receive It fixes their rates and it's familiarity with the business of the roads would enable it determine the of wages the roads could properly pay. The basis need not be the income of the roads permitted by any particular order fixing freight passenger rates but such orders should depend upon the necessary and just expenses of the roads If the commission should find that the wages received by the employees the roads too low could order increase and of the roads thus increased schedules of rates for transportation should be based Under such an arrangement there could be no reasonable ground for dispute between the railways and their employees.
 The travelling and shipping public at last have pay the wages of trainmen anyhow. and it would be cheaper for the public contribute to just, though higher scale. than it would be endure the and inconvenience of a strike.
 The time has passed when the country can afford to let the roads and their employees settle these dis putes themselves in a runous way. And it is mani festly better that they should be settled by tri- bunal than two acting independently of each other and each ignorant facts of which the other is in possession and the knowledge of which is essential to a proper adjudication.

ASSESSOR /. 0. WELLS

In the latter part of last week AS
SCISSOR L. o. Wells was seen on our
streets and as usual, everyone he met
gave him the glad hand and began
to inquire if they could have one more
chance to cast their ballot for him
for Assessor or for anything else he
saw fit to ask for; because he is one
Assessor who has done things worth
mentioning. Democrats and others in
different political beliefs look upon
him with satisfaction and confidence,
and before leaving he assured them
all that they would have a chance to
vote for him again at the coming cleo
ton for Assessor.
He should have the nomination with
out opposition. There is no need
speaking about him being the strong
est man in the county in any of the
parties, it is only necessary to look
back at his record as Assessor and
then you can see why the voters of
st. Francois county hold him up as
their sole choice and with admiration.

Farmer.

Law Drawn by City Man No Help to
Farmer.
Many people have said to me: "We
want a rural credits system but we
think the Gardner Land Bank Bill is
a vicious law-shall we vote for the
constitutional amendment? / reply
BY ALL MEANS, VOTE FOR the
amendment. Then enact a law that
is not joke and is not vicious. The
Gardner bill would be funny if less
dangerous; that is true-it was not
drawn for the farmers nor by the
farmers. II was drawn by city man
to get farmer votes.
1t is no good because it limits the
loan to so per cent valuation. Farm
ers can get that and more without a
land bank.
1t is NOT A LAW. 1t is merely a
"scrap of paper" for which power
full lobby forced an endorsement
through the Legislature. Even . if
this Amendment carries, the Gardner
bill will be as dead as any measure
that went into the legislative scrap
bag. 1t was unconstitutional when
endorsed and change in the consti-
tuition now cannot breathe into it the
breath of life.
1t is vicious because it puts the adj
ministration of the land bank in the
hands of partisan politicians, and I'M
der its craftily worded provisions,
those politicians could perpetuate
themselves in office.
A LAND BANK must do more than
regular loan companies will do. When
an applicant shows honesty, integ-
rity and enterprise he should be per-
mitted to borrow rs per cent or more,
as in other countries.

SALE OF 1850 ACRES MAD
ISON COUNTY LEAD LAND

Rich ore properties in Madison
county, Mo-, in the immediate vicin-
ity of Fredericktown, have been
bought by James L. Noel of st. Louis.
He will develop part of the holdings
and probably will dispose of some of
the tracts, though he may decide to
retain all the land.
Barngrove & Specht of st. Louis
negotiated the deal. James L. Barn
grove returned yesterday from Fred
ericktown, where, with H. w. Fulen-
wider, one of the company's statesmen,
he had spent several days investigat-
ing mining conditions.
The Noel purchase consists of H.
$50 acres in Ia separate parcels. 1t
includes three pieces of 80 acres each,
one of 40 acres, two of 100 acres each,
one of so acres, one of 800 acres, one
of so acres, one of 40 acres, one of 80
acres, one of 200 acres, one of 240
acres, and one Of 100 acres.
Mr.. Barngrove brought with him to
st. Louis samples of the lead, cop
per and cobalt, which were taken from
the Noel properties. Most of the land
is surrounded by operating mines or
proved ore or mineral property.
Great activity prevails in the Fred
ericktown district, according to Mr..
Barngrove. New mines are being
opened and work in neglected proper
ties has been resumed. Great interest
centers on the finding of tungsten in
Madison county.
Mr.. Barngrove also found strong
demand for all kinds of Madison coun-
,ty land, prospective as well as proved.
Many Eastern agents are buying and
experimenting. In the large mines,
he said, the men are working in dou-
