Wilson Obeys Carranza.

NEWSSTAND Carranza having in
formed President Wilson that he was
tired Of Mr.. Wilson's methods and his
playing politics for political expedi
encE and that unless the United States
Immediately withdrew its troops from
Mexican territory the farcial Mexican
Conference" would be called off, Pres
ident Wilson has agreed to an ir,medi-
ate withdrawal Common understand
ing" are the weasel words which the
administration employees TO describe its
latest abject surrender to the insolent
demands Of the Mexican dictator. Gen.
Bliss, designated as military adviser Of
the conference, is. OF course. opposed
to the withdrawal, but that makes no
difference to the administration. AS
announced at Atlantic City, in return
for the immediate withdrawal of Per.
shing's command the Mexican's agree
to protect Americans and their prop
erty along the border. OF course the
military experts have repeatedly point
ed out that Carranza is unable to make
good any such promise, and Villas con-
slant activity and his raids on Car
rama strongholds prove the correct
ness Of their assertions. The Mexican
Conference, however, was not designed
in good faith to effect reforms in Mex
leo. From the first it has been merely
an expedient assigned to save the
Presidents face and to deceive the
American people into believing that in
return for tho withdrawal from Mexico
of Pershing's command the admins
tration had obtained some real conces-
sions. 1t Is doubtful. however. if any
one but those determined to be de-
ceived will b misled by SO hollow a
sham.

Lanes Frank Statement.

While the agreement to withdraw
Pershing's command tallies with some
utterances Of President Wilson, it is
in direct with a recent statement Of
Secretary Lane. Mr.. Wilson. in his
speech Of acceptance, said that any in
reference with Mexico would amount
to q denial to the Mexicans of the
right to any revolution at all which
disturbed US" and to making the
emancipation Of her own people await
our interest and convenience" He de-
clared he was willing to serve the ends
OF any revolutionary movement and
unwilling to allow any possible consid-
Grafton Of American interests to inter-
fere with the accomplishment Of the
great mission committed to Carranza.
Secretary Lane, however. in an article
recently published in the New York
Evening Post, a staunch supporter of
Mr.. Wilson, said: Since Carranza's
recognition we have seen Americans
who have gone into Mexicon on peace
full errands murdered we have seen
our own towns upon the border raided
and Americans slain on American soil
These outrages prompted the President
to send our own troops into Mexico,
and this course cannot he otherwise
construed than as recognition Of the
fact that the de facto government in
Mexico recognized by ourselves and by
other nations is not fulfilling the duty
which one nation owes to another. We
are in Mexico today, and how long we
shall stay and how far we shall go de-
ponds upon the policy and power to
keep the peace Of the Carranza govern
n1ent. but we shall go no further than
we have gone until every effort to Sc
cure effective Mexican cooperation
fails" Every effort has failed. Car
rama Is no more competent or dis
posed to fulfill the duty which one ma
ton owes 70 another" than before; but
the American troops are to be with
drawn.

Spare. the Seals
Editor Kenneoec Journal,

Editor Kenneoec Journal,
Augusta Maine.
Dear Sir
l saw in the kennebec Journal few
days ago that A pair of seals were dis
porting themselves in the river below
the dam. I hoped that these intelligent
and interesting animals might be spared
to add an attraction to the city.
There are no fisheries to be damaged;
and the damage when there are fisheries
is over stated.
In the days when seals were plenty
and comparatively unmolested and man
had not improved all the waterways
that were the highways for the fish,
the Kennebec teemed with salmon and
shad And in very recent days the
groups of seal on the rocks in Merry
meeting Bay We're regarded by voyagers
on our river boats as one Of the men,
orable features of the trip.
The foolish and wanton killing of
one of the pair of seals that had taken
up their domicile here seems to me, to
speak mildly, as cruel and inexcusable.
Respectfully,
POWER S. MOONEY.

Editorial Comment
The Coal Situation.
Boston Herald.)

From the reports OF the Anthrac''e
Bureau of Information at wilkes
barre it appears that September Sd"
5.54i016 tons of coal moved out 10
the markets Of the world. Though TINS
is less by per cent. than the output OF
the corresponding month last year. II
slightly exceeds the tonnage for August
and for the nine months ending with
September, the output exceeded that OF
the corresponding period of year ago
by $4,000 tons, about per cent.
These figures mean that there is no &C.
casion for panic in the coal trade. with
anything like normal conditions Of wealth
er and business. We shall have coal
enough to go around this winter unless
people start "a run on the bank" In theli
desire to make sure of a supply. Keep
cool and we can all keep warm.

the body. Few know its function or

resort to violent calomel, which is a

Every man and woman, sick ar

Limestone phosphate does not re-

How Josephus Happened.
(Hartford Daily Courant.)

In the latest Golfers there is an ar
ticle by William Inglis. describing the
way that the nomination of Wilson was
brought about. AS we all know. and as
he himself must blush to realize. the
prime mover was Colonel George Harvey.
He was at it night and day until Wilson
himself, having got all the help available
from that source, asked him to get out as
he was no longer helpful but, on the con-
trary. was burden and peril
How Harvey enlisted Josephus Daniels
makes a delicious story. Harvey was
quail-shooting in North Carolina, and. OF
course at dinner Wilson and how to help
him was the subject of the talk 1t was
decided to try to get Josephus Daniels
into line with his Raleigh newspaper. al
though he was, as the Colonel put 1t,
completely obsessed by Bryan" They
had Daniels come over by train to spend
the night. and labored hard with him,
but nothing came Of it in the way Of Will
son sentiment.
After a time Harvey, then editor OF
"IIarper's Weekly received copy of
Daniels memorial edition of his news
paper with a photograph of the editor
thrown In. Here was his chance. He
promptly ordered full page article to be
made up on Daniels for 'Harper's Week.
~" embellished with a likeness of the
great editor. Make it as fattering as
YOU know how" he instructed his assist.
ant. ut is impossible to overfeed his
vanity, and, If you plaster it on thick
enough he may feel he ought to respond
in kind toward WILSON,
1t worked. Daniels paper warmed up
toward Wilson and, when the Democratic
national convention met. the North Caro-
lima delegation voted for him. Then not
only was Wilson elected, but in political
gratitude he made Daniels his unique sec
rotary Of the navy, and thus we see that
Harvey is responsible for him, too. Some
load, But repentance has come.
