NAoN AGAINST WAR
Iatin-America cannot conceive of war
between the United States and Mexico, ac-
cordlng to Ambassador Naon. of Argen-
tina who set this forth clearly In strong
appeal for the preservation OF Pan-Amerl-
canism yesterday. To those Interested In
furthering the Pan-American movement
the present crisis is regarded as q vital
test OF the principles for which the Powers
of the Americas have been striving Iney
point out that every treaty negotiated be-
tween European Powers has fallen apart.
with the rest of the world DIVIDED, they
contend that the Americas must present a
united front the nations Of the two conti-
nents must Join interests-diplomatica
and industrially war pe-
tween any two of the American nations
would mean an immediate division into
groups, thus weakening the Entente, ana

European war for possible influence, II not

TO preserve the strength and unity OF the
Americas Latin-American, as well as Ad-
men working in the interests
of Pan-Americansm declare II is impera-
tive first that peace in the Americas be
maintained now, and, second, that way
be found to enforce continued peace In the
future. This brings the suggestion OF
Pan-American police force.
II is pointed out that most of the theories
Of the world peace advanced to date have
been based upon the establishment OF an
police force In the present
situation between the United States and
Mexico and the working out of the general
plan of Pan-Americanism those behind the
movement see the possibility of test OF
the theory upon which may rest the hope
of international peace.
Successful Joint action by the nations OF
the Americas in pacifying and restoring
stricken Mexico, would have great influence
in Europe, it is believed, toward proving
the practicability of international police"
work.
Latin-American powers do not regard
Mexican responsibility for the Carrizal
clash as proved. In fact, the report OF
Captain Morey rather suggests to them
possible provocative action by the American
troops Their view is that the stake for
which the nations of the two continents
are playing in advancing Pan-Americanism
is too great to be jeopardiZed through war
based on such dispute.

OF public opinion that rules enlightened ma
tions II is this public opinion that shapes
the policy of rulers and forms the basis OF
international comty. The power possessed
by the daily newspaper is, therefore, wide
spread universal, and the volume Of its
power is in exact ratio to the zeal, earnest
ness and reliability of its conduct
seldom is this power abused. When
abused punishment Is swift and sure, TOT
a newspaper cannot deceive twice its IN
fiuence wanes, It's hold weakens, and IL
becomes derelict The public expects
honesty in the conduct of it's newspapers,
and In the United States, at least, the ex-
pectation is realized
There are, and there always have been
and will be, newspapers published to sup
port special interests. These enterprises
have a and-to-mouth and ephemeral exist
ence carry no influence and achieve no
result worthy Of emulation. The daily
newspaper has developed through forces
unregulated and unformulated; 1t Is the
result of intuitive genius, of Individual
talent, fitness and ambition
DEVOTION TO DUTY.
ut is only in recent years that an at
tempt has been made to provide an
academic training for our future publiclsts,
to provide students in journalism with train
ing similar to that given to students IN
medicine law and divinity. The need and
the success of these Journalistic courses
now offered to our young men are already
apparent, but no matter how well equipped
the future newspaper man may be, IL MS
learned graces are not supported by a stern
resolve to maintain the highest principles
his training will be of no service.
Competent and brilliant men are neces-
sary in every profession, but in journalism
more than in any other simple devotion
to duty and an undertaking adherence TO
truth and the consideration OF the pubic
veal will carry most weight and obtain
the only success which Is permanent ana
worth having.
BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT
The lack Of cooperation, and ill-feeling
which exists between the business men OF
this country and the Government, was Dit
terly deplored by Edward n. Hurry, chair
man of the Federal Trade Commission, in
the opening session OF the general session
of the ad men at the Academy of Music
this morning.
Mr.. Hurly ascribed this lack of good reel
ing between the Government and the busi-
ness men, which has been particularly APP
parent, he said, during the last 10 years. TO
two things:
First. The discourtesy OF the Govern
ment in its business communications.
Second. The Government, when the
business of the country needed doctor,
resorted to law to cure the Ills.
THE Governments attitude toward bus-
ness" he said, has been generally negative
and seldom constructive. The Government,
I understand, transacts 30 per cent. of its
business by mail and the letters are
couched in such cold, formal phrases that

drive against the Russians in Volhynia by
storninE the village Of Liniewka, seven
miles southwest OF Sokul, as well as the
Russian positions south of the village.
This means that the Russians in this sector
have been driven back over the River

the Kovel-Roj ojitche-R railway, whicn
crosses the scene of the German thrust
only five miles south of Liniewka. The
Teuton success adds to the danger OF the
Russian centre operating near the Gahcian
frontier west of Dubno and indirectly also
endangers General Brusiloff's southern Wing
in the Bukowina.
II followed up by further advances the
Teutons also will threaten the Volhyian
fortress Lutsk, which fell to the Russians

Lutsk lies about IS miles south of the po-

THE CASE OF CALIFORNIA

The verdict Is In. Wilson carried
the state by safe margin of several
thousand votes. Hiram johnson also
carried the state by upwards of
100000 votes. California Is nor
mally Republican state. What was
the trouble?
1t is quite plain that Governor
Hughes was double-crossed The
tracks OF the treacherous parties
lead in the direction of the Johnson
camp. 1t Is altogether probable that
the blame will never be firmly fixed
upon the senator-elect, himself, fol
he Is master politician and smooth
enough to avoid getting tangled in
his own tricks. But his political
friends and followers--some two
hundred thousand strong, did the
dirty work. To say that Governor
Johnson did not deliberately plan
and direct the double-cross is q diff
cult statement to dispute, no matter
how apparent the treachery; but to
assert that he had no personal knowl-
edge of the underhanded acts of his
friends is to insult the intelligence
of the American people.
1t is useless to speculate on what
might have been had not Johnson
and his henchmen been given the cold
shoulder upon the occasion OF the
visit of Governor Hughes to Califor-
MIA. To our mind this would not
have changed the result a particle
They never had any serious inten-
ton to support Hughes candidacy
Why did the senatorial candidate
undertake to stand upon ceremony
unless 1t was to embarrass the pres
idential candidate and thereby score
a personal advantage for himself?
One thing of the two at least is GER
tain--he either deliberately courted
the cold shoulder or else failed to
reckon with his host. BY what rule
of reason could he expect Mr.. Hughes
to make the overtures or to toady
to him in any particular? Under the
circumstances, what could it gain
the latter? II this was his purpose
he sadly underestimated the calibre
OF the man he hoped to deal with.
Some say that Governor Hughes
blundered; that he should have set
aside the advice of his associates
and made peace with johnson at any
price. We do not think that 1t was
q blunder in any sense of the word.
The presidential candidate rightfully
ignored the insolence of johnson and
his tribe. To have stopped to count
the cost of such action might have
been considered good politics, per-
haps, but it would have cheapened
Hughes in the estimation of himself
and of all respecting people.

FAVOR REPEAL OF PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION

According to the Salt Lake Herald
Republican the Bannock county mem
bers OF the legislature met in Poca-
tello last Saturday and decided to ask
for the repeal of the public utilities
law this winter on the grounds that
the expense of the commission is
greater than the returns to the state.
Continuing, the Salt Lake paper
says: For several months there has
been an agitation among the shippers
of several towns in the southeastern
part Of Idaho in regard to the public
utilities commission.
This is the first contingent to
the Idaho Legislature which has taken
any action in regard to the repeal OF
the public utilities law, although
there have been reports from time to
time that number OF the leading
law makers of the state would urge
that the act be repealed at the com
ing session of the legislature. Re.
ports from the Gem state said that
other counties were considering SINH.

This consisted of sketches of HIS life,
