The type of machine used by the

EXPLANATION WON'T DO.

HE devious mind OF Secretary Baker has again
unburdened itself. Realizing that the pres.
ence Of American troops in Mexico invites at
tack, and that they will probably be attacked just
as soon as the growing strength of Villa puts him
in position to do it, the unworthy secretary an
nounces the discovery Of plot by opponents of
Wilson's Mexican policy to cause an attack on the
American soldiers in Mexico or along the border.
This premature announcement of purely faxed
plot is attempt to forestall the effect ON the
political situation, if Wilson's Mexican blunders
shall lead to the sacrifice of more American lives
before the election. The pitiabe effort of Baker to
explain this break entities him to sympathy. Even
Lansing refused to stand for this nonsense and has
tened to say that no American citizens were con-
nected with the alleged plot. Lansing contents
himself with joining with Wilson in blaming the
American citizens who have lost their lives in Mex
leo with the faults which cost them so dearly He
is not willing to charge political opponents with re-
sponsibility for crimes committed by the admins.
tratiou's late ''bandt friends" in Mexico
Baker, deserted by Lansing in his latest effort,
hastens to say that he never meant to reflect on
American ctizens-never, never. Lying will not
save him. His language could have had no other
meaning. He pretends now that he meant the Mex
leans themselves and that he announced The discov-
cry of the plot as a warning to them, and 'served
notice on them that we have been warned and are
prepared" What contemplate rot; the explana-
ton emphasizes Bakers unftness to hold any office,
mIch mofe sIrougy tnan the original Dreak.
If a mere warning on the part Of the present ad-
ministration will stop threatened attacks on Ameri-
cans, why have not such warnings been used to pre-.
vent the brutal murder and mutliation of hundreds
of American citizens in Mexico2 Is not the admin
istration burdened with fearful load of guilt, if
its warnings could have saved our people from muir
der and from outrage beyond the power Of words
to tellf Can it be that Wilson is "too proud to
warn " Mexicans not to murder and outrage Ameri-
can citizens except on the of an election9 No,
Baker, your explanation would dscredit the intelli
gence Of an English sparrow. Acknowledge that
you announced the discovery of plot that does not
exist purely for political effect and incidentally
put your foot in your mouth. Then resign and the
people will forget you.

From the Kennebeo Journal.
The United States does not need
cheap foreign goods. II can produce

the removal OF the Tariff by the Demo.
cratic party would have cut down the

In the American market Americans

All Of them pay high wages, and they
are all on the same level. Americans
should not be forced to compete here
with Japanese, who pay their men Ia

anese keep their home market and let

The first thing to do IL to preserve

W. M. R. R. REORGANIZATION.

METALS of the proposed reorganization Of the
l. Western Maryland railroad brief announce
ment of which has been made, will be awaited
with interest in West Virginia. This railroad has
long been an important factor in the eastern coun-
ties Of the state and anything affecting it is of i'm
portance there The thing that will make the pres
emit plans of the corporation Of general interest to
West Virginians is the intention to segregate the
company 8 large coal interests in this state.
When the so called Rockefeller interests acquired
control Of the Western Maryland they began the
development OF the property by supplying it with
some first class railroad brains. The phenomenal
wave of prosperity which has swept over the coun-
try has fastened the rehabilitation of the road, but
the result would have been the same even if circum-
stances had delayed its arrival 1t is efficiency
first, last and all the time with Standard Oil, and
this fundamental theory is carried wherever
enough of the Rockefeller dollars go to make it
worth while to keep watch over them.
That being the case there is every prospect that if
the Rockefeers 80 actively into mining in this
state conditions that the operators now in the
field will not be able to ignore will enter. The
Rockefellers have learned lot about bituminous
that they did not know few years back through
their Colorado adventure. They have been getting
deeper and deeper into the West Virginia field for
some time, and although they have never shown
their hand it is assumed in the east that they are
heavily interested in the Consolidation.
At all events the Consolidation and the Western
Maryland are now jointly interested in some highly
important mining operations in this county, and
naturally we will all be curious to find out what
else is m the minds Of tho fnanciers.
