RESPONSIVENESS.

Friends of President Wilson are
tryinE. to extract large measure OF
comfort from William j. Bryan's dec
laration that he Is for Mr.. Wilson'S
nomination and they doubtless could
do so but for the haunting recollec-
ton Of Speaker Champ Clark's oft
repeated prediction regarding the
1915 convention. EFF there is pros
ipect Of Democratic victory In 1915"
Mf. Clark has said, woodrow VIII
son will deserve the nomination and
NO. one can take 1t from him.
'sBut II there Is prospect OF Demo
cratic defeat Woodrow Wilson must
take the nomination because no one
WIN take 1t from him." AS the DEM
ocratic national convention approach
es. there is an ominous harmony re-
sarding the denomination Of Mr.. VIII
Son. There have been many mutter-
fngs and some evidences that Mr..
wilson might be opposed by both
Bryan and Clark, but all that Is
nassed and instead both OF these
statesmen appear so willing
that Mr.. Wilson should be renomtnat-
ed that some Of his closest friends
and well-wiahers are wondering II II
n moi q case Of my one will take II
from him" Mr.. Clark's sage predic-
ton. therefore, constitutes large
sized fiy in the Wilson ointment.

M Htllas,s Anpeal.

The appeal Of Charles ID. Hilles.
chairman OF the Republican national
committee, for uniform presidential
primary law In all the states struck
a strong responsive chord in Washing
ton. While 1t Is the Republican party
which has taken the initiative In this
mhtter and 1t will receive deserved
credit therefor, this is not by any
means partisan matter. Democrats
as 1tll as Republicans are sadly per-
picked by some of the complicated prt-
mary laws enacted by the state legis-
latures, and all appreciate that the
tendency OF the results in a state
which holds its primary early TO in-
fnence states which vote later must

form law in all the states.

The gravest anxiety is felt in Wash
ington regarding the Mexican situa-
ton. The danger that considerable
portion Of the bandits who have fol-
lowed Carranza will join Villa and that
the little American expedition may at
any time be attacked by superior NUM-
bers of veterans in guerilla warfare,
familiar with the terrain, Is fully
realized. And yet. 1t Is appreciated
that If the administration takes steps
as military principles would dictate
there will be increasing danger that
Carranza, in order to prevent defec-
tons from his faction, will turn
against the United States.
Already Carranza has massed so
many troops along the American bor-
der-troops which ought to b. en-
ployed in hunting Villa-that the Unit
ed States has been compelled to de-
mand an explanation. The facts are,
as everyone but President Wilson and
certain of his political supporters have
long realized, that Villa Is merely a
professional bandit, that his followers
are bandits who live by fighting and
pIllage and who are violently opposed
to peace. while the great mass OF the
Mexican people, the poems. are more
drones, expressing no voice, exercising
no influence on the affairs OF their
country and actuated solely by desire
to live and a deep-seated hatred OF
Americans. "gringoes" as they call
them,

and urged the adoption OF an amend
ment to the law which amendment
would have confirmed Mr.. Lind's title
to from 5000 to 1000 acres OF tim
Der land. with an estimated value of
100000.
The investigation revealed the fact
that Mr.. Lind took this amendment
to the department Of justice and rec
0mmended its enactment as good law
without disclosing the fact that 1t
would work great benefit to his own
bank account; and that the attorney
general recommended Its enactment
to Congress, apparently without in
vestigatlon. The extent to which this
action Of the attorney general was in
duced by the fact that Mr.. Lind was
known to be the personal friend and
protege of = Mr.. Wilson was not
brought out by the friendly commit
tee.
1t was further disclosed, however,
that when the amendment was re-
ferred to the commissioners OF the
general land Office in Secretary Lanes
department, the commissioner point
ed out that IL was pernicious legisla-
ton. designed to defeat instead OF
carry out the laws against timber
land monopoly, although 1t does not
appear that the commissioner was
aware that Mr.. Lind was personally
interested in the law he had advocat-
ed so successfully.

ers in the shops, for many of the
blowers and the CATERERS had given
their moral support to the strikers.
Some were hostile toward them.
There Is a disposition being shown
among the snappers. who are organ
lied in the American Federation OF
Labor, to join with the general move
ment, which has so far met with en-
couragement among the window glass
workers, to effect an organization Of
all the workers engaged in the win
dow glass industry who are not al
ready in union. This move, 1t is
calculated. should not in any manner
conflict with the union OF the blowers,
gatherers, hatteners and cutters, but
1t is thought that a\strong organize
ton Of the unorganized, in which each
plant represents an industrial form
of organization, should make a strong
bid to have the National Window Glass
Workers absorb them.

At Mllsnn's nnnr.

From political standpoint the
Democrats are distressed because they
realize, that Is, the more leyel-headed
among them. that the Mexican situa-
ton is due entirely to President Will
sons blunders. his unreasonlng and
implacable opposition to Huerta who,
everyone now appreciates, was the one
man who could have controlled the
Mexican situation; his futile and I'M
warranted occupation OF Vera Cruz:
his almost criminal folly in caiollng
and tlattering the bandit. Villa; his
equally unwise policy in allGning the
United States with Carranza, without
waiting to determine what, IL any,
chance there was for GarranZa to con-
troll the situations his repeated warn
ings and threats against those who
plundered and robbed Americans.
threats which he never made good, so
that the United States came to be de-
spised by the entire Mexican popula-
ton: and, finally, the public announce
ment Of a purpose to pursue and cap
ture villa, made days before the army
was ready to take up the pursuit, so
that Villa was afforded every posi-
BILE opportunity to get away and, incl
dentally, to arouse the MexEcans
against this invasion OF Mexican ter
ritory..
over and over again the president
was warned by the military experts
that II the time came when he decided
to send an expedition into Mexico,
everything should be conducted with
such secrecy that the expedition would
be half over before either the Anerl-
can or the Mexican public was aware
It had been undertaken. And over
and over again, Mr.. Wilson was
warned that the arms and ammunition
which he so strongly encouraged
should be sent to the iVllistas and the
CarranziGtas would ultimately be
turned against American soldiers, but
in the pride. OF his own conceit he
would take no advice and heed nc
warning. In the estimation OF men
competent to Judge, many OF them
without political afflliation or bias
Woodrow Wilson has been and will
continue TO be personally responsible
for every American life which has been
taken in Mexico and along the border
since he became President and for
every life which will be,sacrihced be
fore the American troops can retire

"Machina," he said to her gravely
they were both apostles OF the
Newer Freedom Of the sexes-"I am
not going to marry you after all. I've
changed my mind"
"Thank you for being so frank, I"
she replied, brightly. "of course,
any marriage contract that is not a
case of absolute violation on both
sides is a mockery. But, Terhune, IL
It becomes known that you discarded

"But. you said" sputtered Ter
hume. "You-you-"

And he was so put out and angry that
he turned on both heels and left the
church, and the next day she sued
him for alimony, got 1t, and lived
happily ever after.
