School Folks
Taken Care Of
Despite War

LONDON. Feb. 17.-"Never during
my thirty years experience as a
school teacher have the children of
the elementary schools, especially
those of the poorer districts, been so
well clothed and shod of appeared so
tidy and well nourished as since the
bsginnin gof the war;" This was the
remark made by one of London's vet
tran school-mistresses in reply to the
reported eveil effects of the substan-
tial separation allowances made to
the wives of soldiers Of the British
army.
Reports have been current through
out the country that many of the sol
diers' wives have given way to the
drinking habit and neglected their
homes during their husbands absence
a: the front. Teachers, clergymen of
all denominations and other persons in
close touch with the laboring classes
almost unanimously declare that such
10 not the case in the majority of in
stances. They point out that owing
to the disappearance of many of the
male habitues of saloons the pres
ence of women in those establishments
has become more noticeable. The
number of those addicted to drinking
at bars, however, has, they assert, not
increased. Most of the women, on
the contrary, have taken advantage of
the fact that they have more money
at their disposal to replenish their
wardrobes and those of their children,
and in many instances they have
placed some of their allowance in
savings banks and will thus be able
to give their husbands a pleasant sur
prise on their return to civil life after
the war

Grain Question in All War
Nations Is Cause of Much
Speculation Among People

bility of moving the grain over the
Russian railroads and through a
Russian port into England and France
was then held up by the Entente
agents. But Rumanian grain produc-
ers could not share this view, nor
were they able to see their interests
cared far by storing all teh grain on
options. They were willing to sell
their products and store them on a
cash-in-h hand basis. Many of them
had lost considerable sums by tsoring
their grain in 1914 under an arrange
nent with Entente agents, who later
refused to take up their options ana
promises on the plea that faulty stor-
age had spoiled the grain.
Negotiations will soon be- undertake
en- for the sale to the Central Powers
:cf about $4,000 tons of benzine and
gasoline now held in tsorage, and the
monthly output of $4,000 tons of the
same fuels The export of Rumanian
meat cattle is also being discussed.
Rumania's position is such at pres
ent that, as opposition members i'll
the Rumanian parliament have point
ed out, she has become the ally of the
Central Powers ecoomicallyn if the
military situation does not change in
favor of the Allies.
This is true also in respect to Ru-
manian imports which at present
come from Germany and AUSTRIAN Hun
gary, and which,, with most stores
virtually depleted will go far in of
setting the cost of the grain bought
by the Central Powers.

THE WAY TO TREAT MEXICO.

N the Ladies' Home Journal President Wilson writes
about Mexico He says that America will honor
herself and prove the validity of her principles by
treating Mexico as she would wish Mexico TO treat
her"
Much as we admire the Presidents of language.
cannot help thinking that something like this has
been said beforehand said much better: Therefore
alr things whatsoever ye would that men should do
to YOU do We even so to them for this is the law and
the prophets."-Mathew vii, T.
And He who spoke thus nineteen hundred years
before Mr.. Wilson, practiced what He preached.
Mr. Wilson did not. He said that Huerta should not
assume the presidency OF Mexico and forbade him
even TO become candidate for the place in consti-
tutonal manner Does Wilson want Carranza TO say
that Wilson shall not be President Of the United
States? Is that the way want Mexico to treat us?
Wilson seized the custom house at Vera Cruz and he
collected million dollars in duties there-which he
still keeps-because Huerta didn't salute the American
flag Does Wilson want Mexico to treat us that
way7
Wilson permitted arms and ammunition to be shipped
down into Mexico to be used by rebels against such
government as existed there. In case Chief Murphy
and the Tammany tribe should decide to wage martial
instead of political warfare Wilson would Wilson
want Mexico TO supply the Tammany braves with the
means to carry on their armed rebellion?
The fact is that Wilson has not let America treat
Mexico as she would be treated. He has insisted on
treating Mexico in with his own shifting
opinions as 10 men and conditions down there. That
Is not the way TO treat Mexico. The way to treat
Mexico is to demand and to be prepared to enforce
the treaty and other rights OF Americans resident
there what would you have done?" shouted Demo
cratic heclSer Hughes in Tennessee 81 would have
protected American rights" replied Hughes. That Is
the way to treat Mexico.

Naive SeIf-Assurance
(From the New York Tribune.)

Mr. William F. McCombs has sent
out this letter soliciting support in
his campaign for election to the
United States Senate:
MY Dear -. The very grave
domestic and international problems
this country must solve in the next
few years make il especially import
ant that the State of New York be rep
resented in the L. S. Senate by men
thoroughly equipped TO fulfill the
duties Of their Office. inspired by a real
desire 10 serve the nation and deter
mined to protect the interests of our
State. which shelters one-tenth of the
population OF the country and pays a
very large proportion Of the total
taxes raised for the support Of the
Federal government.
MAY ] not count upon your sup
port in the present campaign? II
seems to me peculiarly necessary that
the men of achievement in our COM
munity should rise above considera-
tons of party and preserve the men
tai stature Of the Senate.
Thanking you in advance, am
my dear, Very truly yours.

TMO FORMs OF PROTECTION.

A MONG the men who are heralded supporting
IA Wilson and his policies Edison and Ford
They both favor economic policy which places
the American producer even terms with the pro-
ducers Of Europe and Asia.
They do not believe in a tariff law that protects the
American producer But If they opposed to tariff
law protects why not be opposed to patent law
that protects?
Edison and Ford are both great benefcaries OF
patent laws which enacted and are maintained
for the purpose Of protecting industries which have
been founded by inventors or the financial hackers of
inventors.
II they want tariff laws repealed in order to re-
duce the cost Of living why not repeal few patent
laws which would send the prices of many commodi-
ties down with a rspidity that would be appalling to
the present benehcaries Of that sort Of protection?
Republicans do not advocate repeal of either patent
laws or protective tariff laws. They believe in any
legislation that is constructive in its effect But let
Ford and Edison be consistent.
