Caranza Greets The
German Kaiser Bill

Thanks TO Reuters, we begin to
know the migrate who occupies the
presidential chair in Mexico in his
correct light, Carranza's telegram Of
congratulations and coed wishes on
Inc German kaiser's birthday, phrased
as the message war, is a fiat insult
to America in particular, and the en-
ernies OF Germany in general.
Pass over for the present the com
mentary this episode furnishes with
respect to the general mental and
moral calibre of a man whose sym
pathies bubble forth for the side of
the fight that represents almost total
human %depravity. There are a few
hardshells on neutral European
thrones that are just as immune to
the decent sentiments that guide the
thoughts of most lei
The phase of the matter that inter-
ests Americans just now is the treach-
erous ingratitude of President Car
rama, who owes his position to the
friendly encouragement of the United
States. He could no more have un-
seated Huerta without Americas
strong anti-Huerta stand than he could
have flown to the moon. And during
the months tina tCarranza was endeav-
oring, as president, to compose the
situation in Mexico the diplomatic
whom the Mexican wishes well We're
plotting with Huerta for a revolution
against Carranza. The American sec
ret service blocked this interesting
enterprise, and C%arranza was the bene
fciary of American work again.
So far as we can recall at the mo
ment there has never yet been re-
ceived in Washington as friendly and
kind an expression bearing the sigma
ture of Carranza as this note to the
German kaiser congratulating him on
his lust cause for rejoicing"
A Mexican newspaper SAID the Otn-
er day that the United States and
Canada were making ready for an in
vasion of Mexico. Dozens of reptile
sheets in Mexico are corrupted by
German agents and preach anti-Amer-
lean sentiments day after day. We
begin to wonder whether Carranza's
influence is not a factor in the vicious
propaganda of these papers.-Sioux

A feeling that he has not always been
treated fairly will no doubt help his

"The purpose of my amended bill,'
he says. sis to create and direct an
intelligent opinion on issues for pub
lie discussion, and to determine nom
nations of candidates and the para
mount issue for party platforms by
a direct majority vote. 1t eliminates
the official spoils system. 1t tends to
