A decade or two ago the makers Of

But today no trade is too humble nor
no profession too lofty to be counted

RURAL ROUTES.

The postoffice department at Wash
ington is setting the wheels in motion
to motorize a great many more rural
mail routes. Life is getting swifter.
even in the country, it seems, and the
idea is that rural mail carrier with
an automobile can cover much more
ground than one with horse and
wagon.
The Graphic is much Interested IN
anything that pertains to the improve
ment of rural life. To our mind, the
slowness of mail service to and from
many rural districts is serious IN
convenience. Sometimes it takes
longer for a letter to travel thirty or
sixty miles in the country than TO
travel 500 miles between large cities.
The modern farmer keeps in close
touch with marketing conditions and
does a host of other business-lIke
things that soil-tillers in by-gone
day didn't think necessary.
Motorizing the rural mail service is
a step forward

There is a good deal of talk from
time to time about buying Mexican
territory. As straight real estate
proposition it would probably be a
good investment. The northern tier
of states contains great national
wealth. Chihuahua, Neuvo Leon and
Coahuila are said to be good cotton
states, besides having vast areas suit
able for cattle raising. Sonora has
copper and gold, Tamaulipas is rich in
oil There are fisheries and fine
harbors in Sonora and Lower Cali
fornia. The latter would be particul-
ariy valuable for strategic purposes,
extending American territory many
hundred miles nearer the Panama
canal and providing US with an ex-
cellent halfway station for shipping
on the western coast.
However, there is one great diff

chase. There is no responsible gov

buy any territory from Carranza, OF
from any individual or group assum-
ing to speak for Mexico, prior to the
establishment of a stable govern
ment, we should be accused of taking
advantage of Mexico's weakness, vio
lating her sovereignty and grabbing
her land. That would ALLEVIATE all oul
Latin-American friends and discredl
US with the rest of the world. 1t woult

foreign quarters that our Monroe doe

And when Mexico develops gov
eminent strong and respectful
enough to sell US territory without
scandal or suspicion, that same gov
eminent, by virtue Of its strength
will probably be unwilling to par
with any of its possessions.
So Americans eager to move tn
border farther south might as we
make up their minds to leave TIA
border Just where it is.

This outer coating keeps the inner saturation

a roofing more pliabe than those which have
less saturation, and which are, therefore,
harder and drier.

BACK SEAT
Given All Leaders Except 7. X. and
Hughes as Battle Draws Near
Efforts to Tie Can to Jurist
Continue.

Chicago, June i--Uppermost and abb
sorbing in the discussions Of the swell
ing gathering of Republican leaders
today was the problem of value of re-
spective chances of Justice Charles E
Hughes. of New York, and Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt of securing the
nomination for President.
Roosevelt is regarded as having been
formally entered as a contestant, and
for the time being the other candidates
are in eclipse.
Automatically, so to phrase it, the
two great and dominating figures APP
pear to have arisen to fill the full
breadth of speculation now going on at
furious rate. For the nonce it seems
futile for the representatives of the
other aspirants to seek to thrust for
ward their principals.
Between Two Candidates
No matter how survey of the situ-
alton begins, it usually ends with a
comparison between the two New
York candidates. 1t is beginning to
be realized that the Hughes boom has
more behind it, more solid substance
than the mere Vaccinations of former
Postmaster-General Frank Hitchcock,
and there now is some trepidation
among the rash supporters of the 9TH
er candidates that the concerted attack
upon him, instead of weakening, has
really strengthened the possibilities
for his nomination.
Seventeen delegates from Georgia,
pledged to the candidacy of Justice
Hughes, today were unseated by the
Republican National Committee, and
their seats in the convention we're
given to men favorable to Elihu Root.
Crafty, experienced and far seeing
United States Senator Reed Smoot, OF

val this morning, said with character
istic frankness: IF the tactics are
continued they will inevitably result
in the nomination of Justice Hughes

Allies Destroying Selves.
In explanation Senator Smoot made
it clear that the so-called allies, or
minor candidates, were destroying
themselves by smuggling Hughes. a
strong man, out of the race and leav-
ing it clear for his rival in strength,
Roosevelt.
In the same way National Chairman
Charles d. Hilles observed that the
massed strength of minor candidates
was no greater than their separate
groups OF votes.
Without feeling, but expressing the
judgment of a political observer, he
remarked that nothing was to be gain
ed by them by centering upon rival.
If they held their lines firmly the same
result would be accomplished and no
dangerous sympathy created for the
object OF their attack.
Nevertheless the effort to drive
Hughes out continues.

1t is not merely in important ap-
pointments that President Wilson has
displeased and embarrassed members
of his own party hut in minor matters
where it would have been Just as easy

two or three men who give him dis
interested advice and who have no
axes to grind, he plainly discredited
the great majority of the leaders of his
party II is easy to select the three

must be one, for Wilson has made
House his most confidential advisor.
McAdoo must be another. Tumulty,
his private Secretary, must be the
third. Then all the rest of the Demo-
cratic members of the Senate and
House, all the members of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and all the
other members of the cabinet, nave
word direct from the President that he
has found them selfish and with axes

fore, that there are lot of Democrats
in and out of Washington, who are

the amendment reminded him OF a
man who moved from Texas in the
pioneer days and opened a bank in
Denver, and all the people who had
assembled around Denver made their
deposits in his bank, but shortly after
the bank was opened he failed. After
the failure. he called the depositors to-
gether and explained to them that
there was none of their money left in
the bank and that he had no assets to
turn over to them. except 10 offer him
self as a sacrifice and that they could
do with him what they pleased. One
man in the audience cried out: well.
