Disorder in Mexico

The State Departments unwillingness
to let Carranza ship troops through
Texas from one northern Mexican sec
ton to another is based on caution.
Villa and other bandits and revolutionists
again are at work in Chihuahua and
have defeated Carranza's generals. Car
rama wants to use American railroads
IN order to reinforce them.
In 1916 our government allowed him
to make similar shift of troops. Soon
afterward Villa attacked Columbus. N.
M, in retaliation and killed a number of
American soldiers and civilians Out of
that incident grew the Pershing expedi-
ton, quasi act of war, which nearly
brought on a real war between Mexico
and the United States.
Carranza claims to have a stable gov
ernment. But lawlessness still is chronic
in the northern states and apparently
in other parts of the republic. This
country's chief interest is to see the
border secured and the lives of Amer
ican residents in Mexico protected Car
rama has shown a decided preference
for fiocking by himself. He can have no
cause to complain If the United States
allows him to work out his own military
problems.

News an Aid to Peace
(Fron Golfers Week1,,,

tFrom Golfers Weeklu)
1wenty-four newspapers in Central and
South America now have franchises from The
Associated Press-two in Panama, two in
Ecuador, six in Peru, six in Chile, six in
Argentina, and two in Brazil That is to
say, these twenty-four papers receive the
daily cable reports of the association DEALING
with the news of the world and reciprocate
by supplying the "a. P" with the current
news of their own territory
This is fact of the happiest moment
The more we know about each other the 1ess
likely wars become. Accurate information
is the great disinfectant, and the wider tho
information is spread the more healthful the
consequences to the world-a point that has
escaped the observation of the congressman
who are trying to cripple the periodical pub
lications.
While on this subject, "Collier's" wishes to
present its compliments to The Associated
Press. In reporting the war in all its manv
aspects it has lived III, to its best traditions.
There have been times when 1t seemed to be
too "officiar and too intent on favorablv in
terpreting the acts of the official classes. But
that Is weakness inherent in the Character
OF service that must preserve its relation

The Obsole te Parlor
(Fro1n Tho Topeka Cop1taD

Speaking of the things that were and
are not where is the parlor? The modern
home reveals it not. The memory of the
oldest man is the only place where it can
be found.
The "oldest man" yesterday described
parlor How did it look, he was asked
"It looked mighty fine, but you could
hardly get into it much" he said. "The door
to the parlor was always locked except when
company came. Like when Uncle Jasper
came out from the East in 81. Lordy, how
fine it looked then There was a rug
the floor, which stretched clean to the
walls and was nailed down tight. You
couldn't slip and fall down on 1t. No,
stree. There was a red plush footstool
with a conch she'll on it what came from
the Caribbean Sea, according to grandpa.
All the chairs had red yellow velvet
on them. They was little islands in the
floor where they had round rugs made out
of rags all twisted together"
But how about the furniture, some one
wanted to know.
"Well, they was organ; gosh, that
was a fine one, too! And right smack in
the centre of the room was table with
marble rock for top to It, The Bible
set on the rock. Not one of these little
affairs like they give away to-day.
great big iron-bound one, with a big pict-
ure of God and the angels on page L. God
was sitting in big chair, looking fierce
like at the Star of Bethlehem, and the
angels were playing round his chair, happy
as could be. Everybody from great grand
pa on down had their names in it. There was
an album, too, set on the organ shelf right
across from the Methodist hymn book
"But the mantel. Oh that was where
they had the things the glassblower made
when he came to town. He set up right
by the railroad depot and blew bells with
ships in them and little dogs and things
made out of blue and red glass. The fancy
thing the paper cutter made ct the opera
house was on the inantei, too.
"That's about all 1 recollect about a par
lor, except that twas blistering hot in sum-
mer and bitter cold in the winter The
windows was always shut and the blinds
pulled down, and the organ was set SOS
it covered the faded place in the rug"

century ago this month the steamer
City of Savannah crossed the Atlantic sue
cessfully and marked the beginning Of
new page in the history of navigation. The
completion of this trip by steam-pro-
PEELED vessel in reality was another declara-
ton of independence, for man knew that
he no longer depended upon the winds to
carry him to another port, for the power
OF steam sent the frail craft on, unmindful
OF calm or storm. The Hendrix Hudson.
the product Of Fultons genius, demon
strated the practicablity Of the steamboat.
while the City of Savannah proved its
supremacy over the sailing vessel.
The centenary of the successful trip of
the City of Savannah is coincdent with the
development Of the fabricated ship of stand
ard design. The Agawam, the first fabri-
Gated ship launched and the first to cross
the ocean, is the pioneer of new era in
shipbuilding, and another page is turned
in the log of Neptune.
The same type of yappers that hooted
Fulton and ridculed Captain Rodgers be-
httled the Agawam and made dire predc-
tions in their infallible egotism. but the
Agawam is success, and to- day the think
ing minds of America who are interested
in the advancement of America as trade
power are convinced that the fabricated
snip IS the hope of our merchant marine.

What Limits Freedom

The st. Louis Republic, a newspaper
not to be accused of sympathy with
!. ". w. or Bolshevik ideas, is the latest
to permit itself to be mixed up over the
free speech issue. 1t editorially ap-
proves Of the refusal Of Mayor Doan of
Milwaukee to suppress an I. w. w.
meeting on the ground that the Consti-
tuition guarantees freedom of assembly.
But suppose those assembled advertised
a purpose to attend unclothed and that
the stage was to be devoted to an OK
emplification of the rites of Voodooism?
1t never was intended to establish abso-
lutte freedom. Common sense limits all
Things. Express reservations were not
made, because with them declarations
would become too prolix, and because IL
was assumed some things would never
be done
What are the implied limits On FREQ
speech? Surely they contemplate pro-
hioition Of dangerous agitation in favor
OF the subversion, not merely Of particu-
lar laws, but of all law. Our forefathers
never conceived it possible that the FREQ
speech guarantee would be used as
screen for deliberate anarchy. They
never thought any American would be 20
great fool as to urge such thing.
Our institutions can be changed in
legal ways. Having provided method
of orderly change, and having given
every man an equal right to vote for
change, this il enough. Those who make
a cult Of seizure by force may scarcely
appeal Tor protection to the very law
whose fundamentals they would disre.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-31

impossible to make out special case for
taste in our democracy. Thus far, taste
in America is, for Waits average man,
low. Probably it is no lower than in any
new country, fresh from wrestling with
the earth. Perhaps it is little better
than we might expect But proof is
difficult one way or the other. The fact
remains unmistakable that democracy
has produced no swift Towering of artis-
tic creation or appreciation. 1t is some
times argued that democracy has low
cred the standards of creative work. We
doubt that it has. But there has GER
tainly been no great improvement and
little fresh inspiration-since Waits
own mystical song.
In truth, we come back to the view
that we feel more and more in govern
ment and in business-that democracy
means equal rights, equal opportunity,
equal humanity, deserving the freest de-
velopment, the friendliest comradeship
and respect. But it does not mean equal
ability, equal brains, equal inspiration
to conceive great art or equal taste to
comprehend it. There are still leaders;
there are still demi-gods. We cannot do
without them. 1t would be folly to
dream that we ever could-within sight
of time. We can only, by our freedom,
remove all restraint, every pressure from
above, and let each spark Of ability blaze
up as it will.
Walt Whitman sprang from the aver
age man; he was anything but an aver
age man himself 1t is because he was
an exceptional being that we revere his
memory to-day. 1t would be folly for US
to believe anything else. Our faith in
democracy is likely to be severely tested
in the years to come. 1t can survive
only if our passionate belief is founded
on clear thinking and the facts Of our
experience.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-31
Robert Bacon

Robert Bacon was one Of the men who
never tried to keep America out of the
war. He realized from the first that
America could not be true to herself and
keep out. And anticipating the entrance
of the United States on the side of the
Allies, he sought in every way to prepare
the country for the task ahead Of it.
He will be remembered most of all,
perhaps, for the important part he
played in rousing the United States out
of an unwholesome mood of pacifism. He
foresaw that America must fight and
wanted to have her arm. He accepted
the presidency of the American Security
League and was active in the Army
League and the Navy League. These
organizations were compelled to do that
work of material and psychological prep
aration for war which the government
refused to do. They labored under great
handicaps on the material side. But
they created and energized body of
public opinion to which the government
at last had to bow. They paved the
way for the draft, the Liberty loans and
that enthusiastic popular support of the
war which made it's conduct compara-
lively easy.
Mr. Bacon also did his individual part
when the war came. He had volun-
teered for work in France in connection
with the Harvard Medical Unit and the
American Ambulance. After the United
States became belligerent he was ap-
pointed lieutenant colonel in the army
and attached to General Pershings staff.
While on duty with Pershing he won the
Distinguished Service Medal and the
French Croix de Guerre-honors which
testify sufficiently to the value of his
services.
Colonel Bacon in his earlier years had
been a prominent figure in the world of
banking and big business. He severed
his business connections to go into pub
lie life. He was Assistant Secretary of
State in the second Roosevelt Administra-
tlon, and for short time Secretary Of
State, succeeding Elihu Root. President
Taft made him Ambassador to France
He introduced an element of decision
and fearlessness into the Republican
campaign of 1916 by running as a candi-
date for United States Senator in the
primary election in this state He made
brilliant impromptu canvass, and
probably would have won the nomina-
tion except for the great personal popu
larity of his opponent, Representative
Calder.
Colonel Bacon had many highly en-
gaging qualities. He was sincere.
modest, public-spirited and liberal
minded. He thought clearly and was
an efficient administrator. He served
his country gladly and devotedly. 1t
loses in him an ardent patriot and an
intense and admirable American.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-31
What Debate Has Achieved

The peace league debate already has
done great good. The debaters, COM
PEELED to defend their conclusions pub
lcly, have been led, perhaps against their
original will, toward concessions.
Few now have the hardihood to deny
in an open way the validity Of the revolt
against committing this country to in
definite responsibilities in the Balkans,
in Asia, in Africa, in the islands of the
sea. America would help if the world
again faced world danger, but would
not participate in any tribal wrangle.
Similarly tacitly admitted is the prin-
cple that American questions shall not
be subject to European supervision.
On the other side, the critics of the
covenant have been led to acknowledge
matically brings ambassadors together
at one time and place. The assembled
powers may do as they please when as
sembled, but they pledge themselves to
assemble. Periodic conferences estab-
lish no constitution of peace, but they
may lessen the likelihood Of war. Sir
Edward Grey thought conference at
least opened the door to understanding
when he diligently labored to organize
one during the fateful fortnight of July,
1914.
AS a consequence Of debate there is
basis for conciliation that before did
not exist. Senators hitherto rubber
stampers may become free agents, and
as such support necessary reservations.
Senators who oppose the covenant as
now vaguely drawn will be coerced by
their own reasoning to vote for ratifca-
tion if there be adequate reservations
To bring the present opponents together
seems to involve no insuperable obstacle
provided partisanship and pride Of opin-
ion are laid aside.
That other countries would accept
without cavil constituting reservations
carried in our ratifying resolution may
be regarded as a certainty. The policy
of Europe is to coincide with America
concerning peace league matters. Nor
Is LneTe llkellnOOQ CnaC C1o executive de-
partment would decline to accept rat-
fication with reservations. To refuse
would not only be to wreck the league
but to tear up the peace treaty. The
President, it may be assumed, would
shrink from taking on himself such a
responsibility.
In other respects the debate has vindi-
Gated itself. Its mere occurrence marks
the failure of the plan to upset the bal
ance of our institutions. 1t has brought
to naught the scheme to confer on the
executive department, as if headed by a
kaiser or czar, exclusive control over
foreign relations and treaty making
This is by-product, but it is of great
and lasting value. The Senate has
served we'll both the present and The
future by firmly upholding the demo
cratic principle that representatives OF
the people shall freely Judge all proposed
national agreements.
