RELIEF FOR OUR DIPLOMATS,

1t we read our war figures from one
angle, the cost of living in Europe looks to
be only a little above normal, but if our
sy1npathies are of another bias, we are
easily convinced that starvation hangs
over large part of Europe.
The best inference as to actual living
conditions abroad probably can be made
from a letter which Secretary of State
Lansing sent recently to the house of rep
resentatives, asking financial relief for our
foreign diplomats. The secretary requested
special appropriation of $4,000 on the
ground that all of our diplomatic officials
in Europe are finding it necessary to draw
on their private incomes to cover ordinary
living expenses.
The secretary does not name any par
ticular country, but he declares that the
cost Of living has increased more than 300
per cent in many European capitals, and it
is inferred that the economic conditions in
neutral countries reflect conditions in the
territory of the belligerents.
The cost of living abroad has caused in
tense anxiety to thousands of Americans
who have relatives in Europe to whom
they are accustomed to send funds There
fore, any exact information, such as that
quoted from Secretary Lansing's letter, is
highly important.

DANGEROUS LEGISLATION.

If the freedom of the press of this coun-
try is to be maintained the American people
must awake at once to the fact that already
that freedom has been more than curtailed
and that the day seems to be at hand when,
unless some positive and active steps are
taken, the free press will be free only in
name.
The recent act de1egating to the post
master general the power to exclude from
the United States mails any newspaper or
other publication, through the postoffice
appropriation act is most dangerous piece
of legislation.
This act has already been passed by the
house of representatives and a protest
should Immediately be made to the senate
to oppose any such act, which goes far to-
ward hampering the freedom of the press
and places in the hands of one man power
which certainly should not be delegated to
any one man or body of men.

CARRANZA;: HIGH PRIEST OF THE

Poor Mexico!

No doubt a million men will RESPOND 10
the call of the motherland to be hounded
TO their death by Carranza, Villa, lreV1no'
Ohregon. Felix Diaz, or whoever happens
to be on top of the silly squirm that passes
for craftsmanship south of the Rio Grande.
ONLY in the era of Porfrio D1az did
Mexico prosper, after four hundred years
of being exploited evictimized by political
vampires. Diaz fought and slew and muir
dered he laid I'D riches for himself, and
invested his friends with offices, and graft
ed as matter of course-but he added tac-
tories, encouraged colonization, ana llleu
to better the condition OF the people.
Badly armed, poorly equipped, undrllled'
without an officer capable OF strategy as
the term, is now recognized, what can
million men do? They can give the world
another example of heroism; they can
charge and keep charging until they are
killed standing up-and they will no doubt
do it, because their leaders, CONSCIENTIOUS
less wretches in whose heart is found only
the gloom of graft, need sacr1tce, more
hideous than the days of the Teocall1, Tor
their own ends.
Cortez, with a dozen or so men, was able
to conquer the untold millions of Monte

a nation and gave them the victory in
battle that is one-of the miracles of the
ages!
The United States has been lenient with
Mexico to point of torture; peace in Mex
leo has actually overshadowed peace in the
United States And now Mexico insists
on fighting the United States. A million

poor Americans-to be the unwilling in

and are tagged after a pitiless march

BANKERS FINANCING
FARMERS.
Manufacturers Record.
NNNNNNANANAAAAA

At meeting Leesburg, Florida, re-
Gently the Lake County Bankers AS
ISOLATION was organized by represen-
tatives of eigh of the nine banks in
the county and a fund of $1,000 was
subscribed by the members to start a
campaign of education as to agricul-
ture and live stock raising, while the
bankers also agreed to finance the
purchase of blooded animals for breed
ing purposes and to do other neces-
sary financing for the upbuilding of
the rural interests by building silos,
dipping watts and fencing. Especial
attention will be devoted to the Grad
ication of the cattle tick. It is ex-
pected that all the banks in the coun-
ty will unite in this work. The coun-
ty newspapers have agreed to publish
the educational material at special
rates, thus doing their share in the
cooperation that is designed for the
general benefit of the section.
The bankers declared their belief
that loans made to industrious farm
ers of good habits on live stock and
improvements will be safe and will
furthermore advance the development
OF the county along substantial lines.
This step of the Lake county finan-
clal institutions is in line with other
movements hitherto described in the
Manufacturers Record, and is addi-
tional evidence of the progressive
spirit which is spreading through the
south, including regions more or less
remote from the large centers of the
population. In its results it means
that the standard of life will be
raised, that local credit will be
strengthened, that the population will
increase and that education and thrift
will make Roadway, accompanied by
all the excellent consequences of bet
ter methods and higher aims. The ex-
ample of the Lake County Bankers
Association viii doubtless bear fruit
IN other parts of Florida, a state
which is destined to be much greater
thant it even now is, as well as in
other parts of the south.
That the same spirit exists else
where in Florida is shown by an ar
ticle in the Pensacola Journal quoting
f. K. Malone of the American Nation
al Bank as saying that farmers who
desire to improve their herds by the
purchase of thoroughbred stock will
get all the encouragement and assist
ance possible from him and his bank
provided that it can be satisfactorily
demonstrated that they are able to
successfully carry out their plans.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

The mayor of Jacksonville, in view of
the mobilization of the national guard, has
issued proclamation calling on everybody
to display the American colors. Mayor
Bowden's message is as follows, and it is
an example that could we'll be followed:
Owing to the fact that President
Woodrow Wilson has called out the
national guard of the various states, and
mobilization is now in process with the pos
sibility of actual war between this country
and Mexico, which is likely to take place in
the near future, as patriotic and country
loving citizens, it seems to me that a con
tinual display of the American flag would
be most appropriate, and I call upon our
people to cause to be displayed our national
emblem as conspicuous1y as possible.

STREET ACCIDENTS.

In this day of automobiles it is curious
how little attention is paid by health
workers to the prevention of street acct
dents and the great number of deaths they
cause every year in American cities.
According to statistics recently prepared
by the police department the total number
of street accidents in one year in New FORK
City was 22,540 which resulted in $50
deaths
OF the persons killed SO were men and
149 women, or about three and half times
as many men as women Of these LOG were
children under 6 years of age, and 184 were
between the ages of and It,
In the non-fata1 accidents the proportion
of men and women was similar to that Just
noted, and there were 2301 children under
years and $685. between the ages of 6 and
is years.
The causes were as follows: Passenger
automobiles, 1866; electric street cars,
3026; falls due to causes other than acct
dents caused by vehicles, 3005; horse-drawn
vehicles, trucks or wagons, 2441, and col
isions of all kinds, 2428 The other causes
of accidents were comparatively small.
While the old popular idea was the
racing ambulances or fire engines caused
most street accidents, a months careful
tabulation showed that there was only one
ambulance accident to every 5042 runs and
one fire engine accident to every 4491 runs.
