lin, and Gov. Glynn would probably like
another try at the governorship. Gov.
Whitman will be renominated; and with
Gov. Glynn as the opposing candidate
again the contest would be most inter
csting.
Mr.. Murphy, it is true, is not asso-
ciable with the work of the Senate, and
might not care to make the race. He
is practical politician, and knows, and
generally considers, his sphere of use
fulness and his limitations. Like Mr..
Taggart and Mr.. Sullivan, he has for
years been helping others to official
honors and asking nothing for himself.
But as they have at last developed per
sonal ambition he may take fire, too.
If he should. and be nominated, would
the President support him? He would
have to. He and Mr.. Murphy would be
in the same boat, and in New York
waters Mr.. Murphy would be steering.
Besides, in Indiana the President VIII
be supporting Mr.. Taggart. He could
not as a candidate himself make fish OF
one and flesh of the other. And, i'm
portant as it is, Indiana is not half so
important to the President as New York.

have ceased to boom. To separate Mr.
Wilson and Mr.. Marshall would be poor
business and worse politics. They have
worked amiably in harness together,
keeping step and stride, and change
could not be justified.
No, the democrats of Illinois should

Emergency. They will need a strong
man for that race. and Mr.. Sullivan
wants to make it. His recent defeat for
ithe Office did not discourage him. In
fact, he sees national democracy and

The Safety Special.

Judging from the interest shown by
the public in the governments safety
first" special train. during the first
weeks run, the enterprise is certain to
be a pronounced success in arousing the
people of the country to Il keener ap-
probation of the Importance of eau
ton in all lines in which human Sc
curity is involved. Crowds have visited
the train and inspected the exhibits,
which are of wide range and are cal
culatcd to demonstrate not only the
need, but the possibility of life saving
in transportation and the industries.
Safety is a matter of education, from
the street to the factory. The pedes-
trian and the vehicle manager must be
drilled in the Importance of precaution
and consideration. The workman and
the employer must be aroused to the
necessity of carefulness and the adop-
tion of security measures and methods.
This exhibition train is a moving ar

It presents the safety problem i'll con
crete and definite form. with physical
proof that it is possible to conduct the
great enterprises of business and manu-
facture and transportation without sac
rifcing human beings. When the idea
becomes fixed in the public mind that
so-called accidents are not unavoidable,
that it is not necessary to pay certain
percentage of lives and limbs annually
as a toll for successful activity, the first
long step is taken toward the prevention
of casualties.
The government could apply its re-
sources to no better end than for the
education of the people in this matter.
1t has spent millions of dollars in con-
serving the natural resources of the
country, and the cost of this demon
stration in human saving is but the
merest trife in comparison. This train
should visit every city and town in the
United States, SO that millions may
view the exhibit and learn the lesson it
teaches.

The Peace Ideal.

President Wilson's response at the
White House yesterday to the committee
of the American Union Against Mill
tarism was an emphatic declaration for
preparation for peace through rational
armament. 1t is strong plea for ade-
quate provision for national defense,
and il is uttered in timely con junction
with the discussion now in progress in
Congress as to the future size of the
American regular army and methods of
supplementing it with dependable citi-
zen soldiery. Drawing distinction be-
tween the miitarism of Europe, "where
a few persons can determine what an
armed nation is to do" and the pre-
paredness of nation in which the opin-
ion of the people is the governing force
to determine policies, the President
urges that the peace of society is OBJ
tanned by force. This may be force
applied or force in reserve. But until
there is a revolution in human nature
security will be had only as result
of the imposition of restraint controlled
by government, local or national. In
the case of nations disarmament must
stand as an ideal, perhaps to be attained
through evolution, stimulated it may be
by such efforts as those now in evidence
on the part Of men and women Jealous
for the restoration Of perpetual main
tenance Of peace. Until that evolution

Mexican Developments.

The Mexican situation has suddenly
become much more serious The raid at
rGlenn Springs discioses bandit activity
| on the border that cannot be handled by
the force now available there, and the
President has ordered out the National
Guard of Texas, Arizona and New Mex
leo for border patrol service, iii addi-
tion to the dispatch of regular rcgl-
mcnts from interior points. This will
give large body of men on the
boundary and should suffice to prevent
further incursions by the Mexican out
laws, whose object appears to be to pill
lage and to slay without discrimination
in spirit of hatred for the Americans
Meanwhile a most sinister suggestion
is conveyed in dispatch from Ell Paso
to the effect that Gen. Obregon has sud
denly repudiated the agreement ar
and ratified by the President, and, sup
posedly also, with some changes, by Gen.
Carranza. Under this agreement it was
provided that the American troops
should remain in Mexico and should
have the cooperation of the Mexican
forces in the pursuit and destruction of
the bandit bands. Now, it is reported,
Gen. Obregon peremptorily demands
that the American forces be withdrawn
at once under penalty of being attacked
by the forces of the Carranza govern
ment
If it is true, as thus reported, that
the Ell Paso agreement has been repudi-
ated and the American forces ordered to
leave Mexico at once, it is difficult to
see how this country can avoid con-
fiict with Mexico. Our troops are in
that territory with the permission of
the government of Mexico. In good
faith a conference has been held and an
agreement effected upon which this
government is relying to the end of
a satisfactory and successful pursuit of
the brigands, who have slain Americans
on this side of the border and whose
punishment appears to be beyond the
capacity Of the Mexican government.
1t does not follow that the orders to
the National Guard of the three border
states are due to the reported sudden
change in the attitude of the Mexican
authorities. They are evidently needed
for border service as long as bands of
outlaws continue to operate along the
boundary. unless the forces now on Mex
lean soil are withdrawn. The whole sit
uation, however, is in such uncertainty
that the outcome may depend upon some
unexpected development or chance oc-
currence.

is effected, until the concept of peace

is effected, until the concept Of peace
becomes fundamental factor in every
national policy, the possibility remains
of ambition ovcrstepping principle and
the desire for advantage governing in
national and international relationships.
The President i'll his response yesterday
noted especially the weighty responsi-
bilitv of the United States in this great
world crisis. We have undertaken, he
says, much more than the safety of the
United States; we have undertaken to
keep what we regard as demoralizing
and hurtful European influences out of
this hemisphere. In the light of the
happenings of the past two years III
Europe it is worse than idle to contcm-
plate the ideal of disarmamcnt-and
failure to prepare to keep the peace is
equivalent to disarmamcnt-as the guld-
ing principle for this country.
