The whole story is told in spe-
cial dispatch from Washington
printed elsewhere in this paper Mr..
Henry Lane Wilson virtually ad-
vised military cooperation with
Huerta for the subjugation of the
country. So far from thinking that
recognition would be sufficient to
establish Huerta's power Mr.. Will
son did not expect him to control
a foot of territory north of the
twenty-sixth parallel. There was
even doubt about that, for it was
one of the conditions of recognition
that Huerta should furnish evil
dence Of his ability to restore
peace and order up to the twenty
sixth parallel" Beyond that moth
ing was looked for from him. And
it was doubted whether he could
control the territory south of the
parallel. Such was the govern
ment" that 1t was proposed to rec
ognize!
As to the territory north Of the
twenty-sixth parallel the ambassa-
dor said:
Recognition should not be &C
corded unless an arrangement can
be made by which the American
government, In cooperation with
the Mexican government, will be
permitted to cross the border and
aid the federal authorities in re-
storation of order down to the TWEEN

pie stipulation for the retirement
of our troops whenever order and

Trust Legislation.

Indianapolis News, July ., 1911.
Trust Legislation.
At the conference-not caucus
held yesterday by the Democratic
senators, it was resolved that con-
gress should not adjourn until the
trade commission bill. the railroad
securities bill, and the Clayton bill
were disposed Of. There
is no question that they will pass IN
some form. The only doubt was as
to whether they would pass at this
session or the next.
But the great thing is that the
president and the Democratic SEN
ators are now in complete accord
on the legislative program. They
agree that there shall be no ad-
journment till the third great piece
of legislation is put through.
With the tariff question settled,
the new banking and currency sys-
tenn established, and reasonably
satisfactory trust laws passed. there
need be no fear that business con-
ditions will not rapidly improve.
We think that business men them
selves will see that it is better to
have the pending bills-in proper
form-passed at the present ses-
sion, than to have the uncertainty
prolonged for perhaps another year.
What disturbs business is, not so
much what congress does. as doubt
as to what it may do. The decision
of yesterdays conference will.
therefore, be received with general
satisfaction. When the pending
bills have been passed all the more
important questions that are rela-
ted to business will have been dis
posed of. The knowledge that the
Job is to be completed ought to
have a reassuring and stimulating
effect.--Indianapol News. July 2,

Our Prosperity.
That the country is at the present
time wonderfully prosperous no one
denies, or indeed can deny. There
are, however, many who insist that
our prosperity is artificial, temper
airy in its nature and is likely--if
not certain--to Ne brought to an

who have made a careful study Of
present conditions, without any po-
litical bias, are becoming increas-
ingly indisposed to take this view.

New York Evening Post, it was said
that bankers and commercial inter
ests in this market, without enter

Deserved Praise
The truth is that our peo-
pie were never more united than
now. and they are united very
largely because there is an admin
istration in power that represents
the nation, and stands for its mob
lest purpose and ideals. If we get
any good out of the present war,
and good often comes out of evil, it
will consist largely in demonstra-
ton to the world of our national I'M
ity, and of our abiding love for
nation with welfare of which the
freedom and happiness of the world
are so closely associated. Men OF all
parties, creeds and races, have

President and Business.

dom in consulting leaders in the
business world in regard to legisla-
ton that husband is designed to
affect business to a considerable
extent. Those who will have to live
and operate under tho proposed
laws may very well be give
the president valuable a., dpful
advice. There are those who say
that Mr.. Wilson has already made
up his mind. and. therefore, will
not be moved by anything that may
be said to him. No doubt he has
made up his mind as to the general
purpose to be accomplished. but he
would hardly waste time in talking
to business men unless he were
ready to be guided somewhat by
them in matters of detail II they
can point out any defects in the
trust bills--provided they are real
defects-we may be sure that an
effort will be made to remedy
them.

wreck business But these are few
in number, and we doubt whether

"Standinq Like a Tower"

After all we must remember that
this is America, and we are all pre-
sumed to be citizens of the United
States. With great price has this
distinction been achieved and not
lightly will it be cast aside. We
may safely trust the President of
the United States, a profound stu
dent of history. and whatever we
may think Of him from a party
point of view, admittedly one Of
the best products Of our modern
life. Presently we shall know his
full measure And we do not doubt
that "still patient in his simple
faith sublime" we shall see him

rights Of humanity and the neutral
world.-Indianapolis News, May II,

Henry Lane Wilson as Huerta's
Ally

There are some, perhaps many,
people who think that the prompt
recognition Of Huerta by President
Wilson would have brought peace
to Mexico-that with such recog-
milton the dictator could soon have
suppressed all movements against
him. Those who argue this will. we
think, be somewhat surprised to
learn that Henry Lane Wilson, our
former ambassador, never shared
that view. On the contrary, he
urged that recognition be extended
only on certain conditions-condi-
tons OF the utmost Importance.

A Terrible Panic

terrible than many people today

the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com

said:

America and Its Evils

American citizens have

own government up 10 scorn, and
those newspapers have rejoiced in
the utterances, and made the most
of them. This government has been

is its effort to deal fairly and hon.
estly with all in this war, and to
keep out of it because of our love
for peace. And we are trying-as

today. The administration and the
American people alike have been
very patient under the ISLANDERS

have been patient because they

What Wilson Stands For

WHAT "ItSOV 0tdHOS Tor
Let those who shudder at the
thought of war consider carefully
just what the stand of President
Wilson means. Is it a stand truly
representative of this peace-loving
nation, and one in which we, as
peace-lovers, can give him our 10y
al support? War at it's best bor-
ders hideously on anarchy. That
war as 1t Is now being practiced
by all the participants in the pres
ent world conflict has proved pos
sible In this twentieth century has
shocked and sickened the hopes of
those whose aspirations were for
peace.
The stand taken by President
Wilson Is not against progress,
either in invention or in humanity,
but against lapse Of anarchy

Popular Japanese Games.

One of the most popular games among
Japanese children is otedama, played
with small cloth bags filed with red
beans. The number of bags used is
seven or ten. The game consists in
throwing the bags into the air one aft
er another In quick succession, trying
to catch them before they reach the
ground The idea is TO keep all the
bags in motion.
Another popular game is ishikeri, or
stone kicking. Chalk lines are drawn
on the street. making squares, in which
pebbles are placed. The game is to
hop from one square to another on one
foot, kicking the pebbles.
In the game of mimihili, or ear pull
ing, two boys sit opposite each other
