If Candidates Hughes wishes for a
clear view of the Mexican situation he
should not, perhaps, rely entirely on
what Senator Albert B. Fall of New Mex
leo has to say about it. That is not to
deny that Senator Fall is quite CONVEX
SAINT with conditions, but it is to say that
Senator Fall is apt to be somewhat rabid
in his viewpoint as the result of close
association, as anyone might tend to be.

THE RURAL REGENERATION

The new rural credits legislation
ought to have the effect Of equaliz-
ing the agricultural prosperity Of
the nation.
Private interests have in the past
been most willing to extend credit
where credit was least needed. The
great insurance companies which
loaned on farm securities selected
the best agricultural States for
their operations. The States con-
tanning the poorer land where de-
velopment and improvement were
most needed paid the highest in
terest rate and the result was an
abnormal distribution Of agricultural
development.
Government loans on farm Sc
curity will lower interest rates where
rates have been so high as to pre-
vent improvement and build up the
weak spots in the nations agricul-
ture. This in turn will tend to a
more uniform distribution Of market
and shipping facilities, all Of which
will contribute to the stability and
homogeneity of the nation.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY

The Indianapolis conference Of
Progressive party workers who are
indisposed to accept the situation
that was precipitated when Colonel
Roosevelt declined the Presidential
nomination, voted to keep the party
alive, to make a fight, to place elec-
toral tickets in the field, and to defy
the action Of the national commit
tee. But it also decided that it is
too late to nominate a candidate for
President in the place that Colonel
Roosevelt declined; so that there
will be presented the unique spec
tacle Of party insisting on going
ahead existing, despite that it's ma
tional committee, its Presidential
nominee, and the vast majority Of its
members have left it.
If there was ever any doubt that
the Progressive party had in effect
been reabsorbcd back into the ranks
of the old parties from which it was
originally recruited, that doubt is
cleared away by the Indianapolis
proceedings. The irreconcilables met
at Indianapolis; the men and women
who were determined not to make
terms with either of the old parties,
They were willing to defy the OBJ
vious fact that their party had
melted away from it. They de.

THE DIsTRiCTBUD0ET BILL

As II passed the Senate yester-
day, the District appropriation bill
is on the whole an excellent measure.
II is generous in most directions,
carrying q total Of $18634,000 for
the fiscal year now current. II in
wolves some disappointments, par
ticularly in the elimination Of all the
proposed appropriations for parks;
but there is a good chance that, in
the trading Of items and provisions
that Is certain to take place in con-
ference, these, or some Of them, may
be restored.
It is especially regrettable that
proposals for purchase Of park lands
should be discouraged, because these
purchases cannot always await the
discretion Of future Congresses.
Lands that today are available, and
purchasable at comparatively low
figures, may be improved because Of
the necessity which private owners
feel of making their investments re-
munerative. Such property as the
Dean tract, especially, ought to be
seized upon when II is in the market,
lest it get away. It Is better to buy
once than to regret through all the
future.
The Senate stands firmly behind
the half-and-half plan, and this con-
troversy may very possibly result in
the final failure Of the bill to pass at
all. It car be said on excellent au-
thority that the way out Of this fun
damental difference between the two
houses has not yet been found. 1t
is a remarkable condition, this which
has brought about such sharp and
determined divergence Of view be-
tween the two houses. The Senate
is overwhelmingly and uncompromis-
ingly in favor Of maintaining the
old system; the House seems to be
just about as determined that the
system must end. The House has
been the fighting ground Of the op-
position to the long established plan
and a good deal Of feeling has been
aroused over the issue. It will be q
great misfortune If, as a result Of
this controversy, the appropriations
for this year shall fail. It would
mean continuing the government
