lit is reasonable to inquire why, with perfectl!
adequate telegraph service and with full
|quota of consuls and business representative s
at work in Mexico, we should have to depend on
Washington correspondents and they them
] selves have to depend on rumors for news Of the
truth about Mexico. Why is not the news com
ing freely from Mexico? We know it is not SO
coming and we can only await the reason for
the interference that causes its delay.
| Along with the disquieting reports about
what is going on in Mexico come other reports
of the interest Of President Wilson in Mexican
affairs; he has daily reports of Mexican news

interest in Mexico growing partly by reason
of the fact that he may have some searching
questions asked him at the peace conference
This would not be surprising. He is the pro-
lphet Of stability in the world by means Of
granting the freest possible scope to all racial
land would-be national ambitions He is also
the spokesman for the consideration due to this
nations position questions Of world adjust
ment In peace-making. He is also the executive
of the nation promising and holding fast to the
Monroe doctrine. And he is also the man who
las American president brought about the depo-
sitlon OF Huerta, who protected British and
French property in Mexico and enabled Car
rama to become president Carranza who will
not, or cannot, certainly does not, protect the
property of Britain, France or the United Safes
Being what he is and standing for what he
does and having done what he has, it is quite
supposable that the president will be courteous
ly lnterTogated about Mexico; about the grow
ing disorder, about oil wells sealed to save them,
about paymasters murdered in pursuit Of their
duties not fifty miles from Tanpico, about
slant menace to peaceful business. And these
questions will be logical He has long watched
and waited and presumably is equipped to give
an expert opinion.

Slang.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: As to
slang it is the one certain evidence
that language is still alive; for
slang is the language of the people
in the process of making. Moreover,
la picturesque slang is a safeguard
against profanity, which-peac to
the clergy-is little more than articu-
late speech seeking utterance in ex-
plosion. Mechanical ingenuity has
timed and regulated explosion into a
powerful motive force. Let all gram.
marians, logicians and sufferers under
foreign teachings know that English
is not q degenerate offshoot OF the
old Teutonic stock, "a base dialect
gabbled by pirates In their depreda-
tons on the high seas" zas one OF our
enemies politely put It. English is
the free, masterful. adaptable speech
of free, masterful and adaptable
people which Is destined to rule the
world, not because they are brute
conquerors. but because they are the
leaders of the world into the daylight
of true democracy.

tend to reduce business. The beauty
OF the old method was that the tele-
phone system made real effort to
get the person called, for 1t could not
make a charge unless it gets him.
Not only is a higher rate charged

there is an additional rate for zap

The theory seems to be that the
charges should be based on the work
done by the telephone company. in
stead Of on the actual service to the
public. but the business was built up
by the rendering OF service. II the

RESISTING TELEPHONE RATES.

St Louis Globe Democrat: Many
OF the states, either through applica
tions for injunctions or through the
regular processes OF the state regu
latory bodies, are resisting the
revolutionary long -distance telephone
rates Mr.. BurIeson has ordered es-
tablished throughout the country. A
federal court in Florida, after full
hearing, has upheld the validity Of
the Burleson order. In a few cases
temporary restraining orders have
been issued The legal aspects OF
the question will probably be finally
PASSED upon by the supreme court
OF the United States.
The resistance to the new rates is
partly based in the jealousy of the
various state regulatory bodies at the
invasion Of their Jurisdiction. But
they also honestly oppose the rates
on the ground that they will mean q
substantial Increase in cost OF tele-
phone service. Mr.. Burleson, follow
ing his characteristic methods, tried
to leave the impression that the
change would mean a general reduc-
ton in rates. The Globe-Democrat
Immediately attacked his statement
as deceptive. conclusion which the
telephone rate experts OF the various
state commissions have subsequently
supported.
The station to station charge
would benefit only concerns which
do regular business with each other,
without regard to particular per-
sons" Generally this sort OF COM
munication is by telegraph. But a
report charge" is to be made even
on a station to station" call, where
the called station is reached, but the
conversation is not held, because OF
any reason beyond the control of the
telephone company" This would be
an invariable source OF controversy

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Fort Dodge Messenger: At the
present time there are relatively few
people in Iowa who cannot speak or
understand the English tongue. II
the use of the old country language
is continued it is because of de-
liberate Discrimination to adopt the
.ongne of America or Indifference.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Down at
Des Moines the legislators all seem
to be in favor of good roads, but they
are terribly shy when good roads are
mentioned Which means that good
roads propaganda still will have hard
shedding, for the only good roads are
hard roads.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: With an
automobile to every thirteen people
in Iowa, it looks as though good
roads ought to be well nigh univer-
sally approved by our people.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The
friends OF liquor" who are now be-
rating the long-haired ones, should
also take cognizance of their own
eontributory guilt. If the friends
of liquor" had not been the enemies
of law and decency this thing that
has befallen them might not have
happened to them. The American
saloon is the first to go out, and 1t
is because the American institution
was the greatest outlaw in the world.
Marshailtown Times Republican:
The legislature should get at the
road legislation before the roads set
tie in the spring. It'll come easier.

rs proposed that information as to conditions
availability of materials labor supply, need Of
industries for new building and construction
and like data shall be gathered and put, in the
form OF frequently issued bulletins, in the
hands of all people interested in corporate OF

ment is eager to see the building trades active
and this is easily understandable. Steel ane
the building trades have long been regarded as
induces of the state Of our industries. The wal
has confused the old routine The construction
projects Of the nation have had to be stopped
from activity. We are far behind the normal
lin our construction work and far behind the
actual needs of our industries and social wants
There is every reason why construction work
Ishould be resumed and pushed to great proper
itlons-except one, the excessive cost of such
work. This IS the one deterrent and it will con-
!tinue to prevent the resumption of the activity
the government wants to promote until bust
ness conditions can be clearly foreseen The
new bureau can in the meantime gather infor-
nation OF use not only to the construction
trades but to national business in general But
ut cannot supply the needed impetus which will
set men by thousands to work at the building
we need. This must wait like SO much else I'M
til the future is understood in the light of what
is to be done at Versailles and afterward here
at home.
In the meantime the construction men can re-
move one factor which operates strongly
against renewal of building. Where they
have raised wages one dollar, they have raised
costs ten dollrs. This is matter of experience
so wide that evidence exists in plenty. There
are signs that the construction men appreciate
the need of a more just cost system and are pre-
pairing to put it into effect. When they do,
they will add to any other effort in behalf Of
