The passenger service has grown out
of all proportions to the increase in
freight traffic. Extra passenger
coaches have been added to the SER
vice and are so crowded that most
OF the trains are late. While the
trains carry more people than usual,
many prefer using their own touring
cars and a more l~eisurely trip. Hard
ly a day passes that touring cars of
different kinds do not visit the capitol
and cross the Missouri to Fort Pierre
on their way to the Hills.

A MEXICAN POLICY AT LAST.

Since 1910 three hundred and seventeen
American citizens have been murdered In Mex
ico according to authentic record; the number
is undoubtedly much larger, for many fatalities
have been concealed by the Mexican govern
ment. The United States government has never
succeeded in obtaining reparation of any sort
for these outrages of citizens rights, nor do
the people know what efforts it has made to sue
coed. Out of this unwarranted sufferance no
good has come; conditions in Mexico are worse
now than they have been. Carranza is flatly de-
termined on confscation of title to properties
acquired and owned by citizens of this nation,
Great Britain, or France; workers on such prop
critics are being driven from their labor by Mex
lean troops pending acknowledgment by own
ers of these properties of MeSicos claim to title.
Great Britain and France are at the end OF their
patience; they have waited long enough for this
government to act and now they are pushing it
into action.
Announcement is made that the president will
determine policy toward Mexico and declare
this in message to congress. This act, belated
as it is, will be welcome. Inaction and dilatory
inefhciency have had their day In self-defense
and before the bar of international opinion we
must settle uncertainties in Mexico for our
selves and for other nations that withhold indie
pendent action out of respect for claims in our
Monroe doctrine. A Mexican policy seems
probable in the immediate future because it IS
a necessity.

A JOB WITH NO TAKERS.

The peace conference is faced with the neces-
sity of enforcing the demands and decisions
made with regard to Bella Kun and his radical
control in Hungary; to allow Kun to defy the
conference is to give evidence of its futility at
peace making before the treaty is ratified by the
allied nations. But what troops are to go to
Hungary? France has mind to do police
duty in addition to that she has on her hands al
ready; she has had troops in the east Europe
hotbeds of trouble and has them there still, but
the new project would mean new army. Great
Britain has seven hundred thousand troops on
duty; she has more troops than many OF her
people are willing to see remain in service
With duty in Germany the British will find no
fault: but with entrance into a campaign to do
riot duty all over Europe they are showing no
sympathy The situation is peculiarly interest
ing lust at this time. It demonstrates the con-
ditions which the league of nations will face
and will have to continue to face; it seems to In
dictate that the league will be in practice just
what Mr. Taft and his supporters in their early
advocacy of league declared it must be, a
league to enforce peace by armed force. To po-
lice the world in the interests of peace is COM
pact into which this nation may choose to enter;
but it will be well that it enters it with its eyes
open to the job before it. At present the job in
Hungary has no takers.

NOW. WHICH WAY?

Students of international affairs are much in
tarested to know what action President Wilson
will take with respect TO recognizing the gov
eminent of Peru now that Leagnia has taken on
as president of that republic by virtue OF a revo-
luton. It will be recalled that Mr.. Wilson some
time ago declared he would recognize gov
eminent which came into power by resort to
revolutionary procedure, and this has been his
excuse for refusing to recognize the government
of Costa Rica under Tinoco, although that gov
eminent has been recognized by practically
every other country, and Costa Rica was CO.
belligerent in the great war to the limit Of her
ability. Tinoco came into power via revolution,
but his tenure of office was later approved by
his people in legal fashion. The man he ousted
was pronouncedly pro-German in his sympa-
thies. The case of Peru presents parallel.
Pardo was strongly pro-German in his sympa-
thies. His manipulation of the ballot boxes is
said to have reseated him, and this was followed
by the Leguia revolution which pulled him from
his chair and put in Leguia. The question now
is, can President Wilson, consistent with his
stand in the Tinoco matter, recognize the
Leguia regimeg Other countries undoubtedly

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hail

If you want to keep your hair in gol
condition, be careful what you wash

Most soaps and prepared shampd
contain too much alkali. This dries h

harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shat

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE RRIcE o. DREAMS.

THE RRICE o. DREAMS.
We dream: and the mounting vision,
Freed from the reck and stain
Of sin-bound cities, is lifted
To skies that are clear again
Homes redeemed from the spoier
The child at his happy play;
But for every dream win to fact,
With blood and with tears we pay.
There kindled a dream of freedom.
II burned with holy flame;
When slowly with lips that trembled
We spelled out that awful name,
Down in the dust of the battle
Our best-our dearest lay;
We dream, and the dreams come true at last,
But we pay; we pay, pay.

not be regulated. but there is reason
why they should not be driven to the

still be going down our sewers have
been made use of by the packers.
They have served great usefulness
here.

GEOGRAPHY AND DRESS.

A resident Of Keokuk who has returned from
the east where he visited several of the seaside
resorts, wonders if propriety in dress is mat
ter of geography, and why it is permissible to
wear on the sand costumes that are objection
able a little further back from trembling or
tumbling waves. IF street dress or beach dress
can be properly criticised because it does not
conceal enough why is attire designed to be re
vealing considered perfectly proper in ball
rooms and on the stage! It is one of the ano-
males of modern life, and yet it is evident that
seashore attire at mountain resort or foothght
attire upon the street would be highly uncon-
ventional and properly open to objection. Ge-
ography, locality, is a factor in dress; and at
tire which would startle or shock in one en-
vironment would not attract attention to the
wearer or critical comment In another place.
There seems to be no general principle govern
ing the matter, but there is general consensus
on the part of self-respecting people that the
place and purpose of the dress and the sur
rounding circumstances do and should largely
determine the suitability of the attire bath
ing suit can be worn with perfectly proper
motive on the beach; but proper motive would
hardly be presumed Of the woman who wore 1T
on crowded street.

Farm lands in the middle west have had
great squirt of activity this spring, and made
general advance The movement is largely specu-
lative. but has basis in the high returns that
have been realizel from the crops at war prices
The farmers have made money and the natural
investment for them is in more land The move
ment is stimulated by town spectators who buy
for the purpose Of selling again and make mar
ket by selling to each other. The unfortunate
feature is that great body Of Indebtedness is
being created, and if farm products should de-
cline this indebtedness is likely to be burden
some.
