as to big business there is renewal
of Mr.. Perkins we'll known sugges-
ton of, federal Incorporation, which
in many quarters is thought to smack
strongly of state socialism.
Still, here is definite start toward
a union of forces essential to the de-
feat of the democratic party. An
other bull moose campaign would not
develop anywhere near the strength
exhibited in 1912, but whatever
strength it did exhibit would be so
much subtracted from the republican
strength.
For this reason the negotiations at
Chicago in June will be conducted
with view of putting a ticket in the
field expressive of the full anti-demo-
cratic purpose. Mr.. Wilson as the
democratic candidate will have the
support of the federal patronage
everywhere; and that is never a
small item in presidential campaign.
And then he will be standing for both
the record and the party label, and
so will attract all democrats who put
regularity above other considerations.
TO underrate his strength would be
to give him an advantage in the con-
test.

Congress and Base Ball.

Representative Linthicum is likely
to have hard time getting the House
worked up on the subject of the al
legged illegal combination of base ball
organizations. He has failed to
arouse the Department of Justice
over the iniquities of the recent peace
compact between the rival leagues as
think that city has been given short
deal, and now he is going to push
for congressional investigation that
will show up the base ball octopus
more feels rather sorry for itself be-
cause it has been wiped off the base
ball map as major league" city,
but as matter of fact Baltimore has
only itself to blame for its i'll fortune
in base ball. 1t once had pennant
winner, a remarkable team that won
championships as readily as the Con-
ME Mack organization in Philadel
phia of later years. But Baltimore
gave poor support to its club, and
base ball languished notwithstanding
the fact that the emblem of suprem-
acy hoated over its park for several
season. Washington supported
tail end team in those days more lib
orally than Baltimore did its cham
pions, and consequently when the Cir
cult was revised Washington was
given the preference over the Monu
mental city. There is nothing in the
trust proposition in base ball.
Everybody who knows anything
about the game recognizes that or
ganization is necessary and that unre-
strained competition between leagues
for players is destructive of the sport.
If there is any line of activity in
which combination is justifable for
the public benefit it is in professional
base ball, and fortunately Congress,
which as a representative American
body includes a large number of de-
voted followers of the sport, is not
likely to be shooed into an attack on
the game as it is now managed, es-
pecially when it has a great deal or
legitimate business ON hand.

The Mexican Massacre.

While it is too much to expect that
Carranza will be able to reduce the
disorders in Mexico at once, the kill
ing of sixteen Americans near Chi
huahua by bandits, who are attrib-
uted to the Villa cause, is a severe
shock to American patience. 1t is
stated that these men left for their
scenes of work in western Mexico
with assurances by Mexican authori-.
ties OF safe conduct. 1t is also stated
here that the State Department had
not Cancelled its warning to all citi-
zens OF this country to leave the dis
turbed Mexican area. Yet whether
there was a guarantee of security by
the de facto government in Mexico
or not, and whether this government
still held to its warning against en-
tering the territory of unsettled con-
dlt1ons, the massacre of these men
is a monstrous crime that calls for
positive and vigorous action.
The President has already sent to
Carranza demand for the punish
ment OF those guilty OF this outrage
What will be done if Carranza re-
plies that he is already proceeding
in an effort to clear the country OF
bandits and that this crime is one be-
yond his immediate range of punish
ment, as he may, cannot be foretold.
The administration has done for the
present all it can do. 1t must give
the government at Mexico City an
opportunity to express itself and to
act, if that is possible, for the pun
ishment of the assassins.
There is no occasion for hasty ac-
ton, in the way of Intervention by
the United States. This crime may
turn out to be, however, an indication
that Carranza cannot establish stable
government in Mexico, with guaran-
tees for the protection of Americans
having legitimate business in that
country and of American interests
there. If SO, the United States must
consider whether its responsibility
demands action beyond any taken in
the past. The time for that decision
has not arrived, but there is an i'm
peratlve duty before the government
now to do its utmost to bring to ius-
tice these murderers.

No Horizontal Pay Reduction.

Senator Sheppard's. proposition to
save money for the government by
reducing salaries all along the line
would be more appealing at this time
OF reduced Treasury revenues and in
creased prospective expenditures if
the public service salaries were on an
extravagant scale. But the United
States is VIGOROUSLY bad paymaster.
Its salary roll is moderate in proper
ton to the responsibilities and the
duties performed. Compared with
other governments the American
wage list is economy itself, while
compared with the big business pay
rolls that of the United States is al
most parsimonious.
If the salary scale of the govern
ment had been increased during re-
cent years there might be some war
rant for reducing it now at time
of comparative stress. But with the
exception of the congressional and
presidential salaries, which were
raised some, years ago, there have
been no changes in the scale of COM
pensations for more than a genera
ton, while pay rates in practically
every other line have increased. This
is notably true in the cases of the
government clerks, who are just
where they were fifty years ago in
the matter of pay, while their duties
are heavier and their hours are
longer.
To cut off from 2 to IL per cent Of
the compensation of government
workers would yield few hundred
thousand dollars, but it would entail
serious hardship upon thousands of
people. The loss of even per cent
of his pay would be heavy handi-
cap upon the average department en-
ploye. whose margin of safety be-
yond his actual necessities is already
so slender that he is practically liv-
ing up to his income all the time.
To those government workers who
are buying homes out of their slender
BAY for the purpose of having some
hing. however little, as a refuge
when they are turned of for old age,

Chicago and q Stampede.

Forewarned is forearmed. So much
talk has been INDUCED in about
stampeding the Chicago convention.
the republican leaders have all been
put on guard. Such a naneuver. II at
tempted, will be difficult OF execu-
ton.
Present prospects are for five or
six day meeting. There Will be
abundant business before nomlna-
tiops are reached. The platform will
receive good deal of attention, flrst
in committee, and then mayhap IN
the convention. The new basis OF
representation may provoke discus
sion. If there are contests the de-
cisions will be reached with care. The
bolt of 1912 grew out of that feature
of the conventions work.
The rub. the test, will come, OF
course, with the call for nominations.
Then there will be something doing
every minute of the time until the
candidate is named. Thrills will be
calculated for every speech; and II
all the favorite sons stick there will
be many speeches.
Out of the welter OF oratory and
the ballotings based on it the SIAM
pede is expected to issue. The cal
culation is for great excitement to
start with, and great impotence to
end with. Delegates will tire of the
struggle. Crowded galleries will en-
courage disorder on the floor. and
add to the commotion. Then some
body, at a signal, will start some
thing, and the trick will be turned.
A nomination made in that fashion
might prove disastrous. At present
the republicans are in good shape,
and canvassing the claims of very
worthy men for leader. But it is not
a promenade that lies before them.
They will have to fight their way, and
will need leader capable of meet
ing the severest tests. In the first
place he must "ht" the platform; and
in the second place he should be a
vote-getter on his own account.
The selection, therefore, should not
be made by jaded men seeking rest.
If jaded, they should adjourn for rest,
and come together again refreshed
for the final stroke. What is done
then must bear the most searching
examination through the whole of the
campaign.
Veteran politicians are planning to
60 to Chicago as delegates. Many of
them have been through exciting ex-
periences at such conventions, and
have reached the unstampedable
stage of life. They are no longer ma
terial for spellbinders to work upon.
Professions with banners move them
but languidly. And if enough of
them appear on the scene to SEN
tinel the meeting stampede will be
impossible.

The Bull Moosers.

Chicago will be a most interesting
town in early June. With the re-
publicans and the bull moosers con-
sult1ng in separate camps at the same
time about the presidency, and how
to get together to capture it, some
thing important will be doing. The
purpose is clear. 1t remains to be
seen if il can be accomplished Only
master negotiators should be chosen
for the work.
George w. Perkins, who speaks
with authority. says: 1--WE are all
hoping that both the progressive and
the republican parties will agree on
a candidate, and it necessarily will
not have to be Col Roosevelt"
Mr.. Roosevelt in his telegram to
the bull moose committee laid down
a simple platform. He would east
aside all purely partisan considera-
tons, and disregard all but the vital
issues affecting the national life"
That is to say, the tariff. the trusts,
the new currency law and its admin
istration should figure if at all
in the campaign only subordi-
nately. Put in front, and keep there,
preparedness and the administrators
foreign policy. Hammer on those
two issues.
But the bull moose committee,
while recognizing the importance of
preparedness, included in its address
to the country other issues which it
considered important, too. Its treat
ment of them, however. will provoke
a good deal of animated discussion.

A Good Kitchen Cabinet
Is a Great Convenience

But you want to make sure that
you get a really good one-because
they are lifetime conveniences and
pieces of furniture, and a poor one
will be great regret and fail utterly
in giving you the assistance and con-
venience you had expected to get.
A good cabinet is a step-saver, a
food-saver, a time-saver, a labor
saver and trouble-saver generally.
With one you keep everything you
use in the kitchen-the food, the
utensils, the conveniences, the cook
ing vessels, altogether. 1t means the
centralizing of service. the reduction
of effort in accomplishing the days
