MEXICO A MENACE.

In this era of internationalism when
most of the world is seriously under
taking the establishment of an inter
national justice that viii ensure world
wide peace, the government of Mexico
seems unexplainably hostile to the pur-
poses of the times Apparently under
German influence President Carranza
months ago issued a decree that all
oil lands were the property of the Mex
lean government and all foreign COM
panies must pay royalty on all oil
vigorous protests from the United
States and its allies that the decree was
suspended and Carranza agreed to re-
fer the matter to the Mexican congress.
This he did not do and now he has is
sued another decree that the royalty
taxes on oil produced in January and
February of this year must be paid
forthwith. Americans refuse to pay
such taxes because it would be an adj
mission that the government did own
the oil lands that it has sold or leased
to them.
Reports of renewed activities by the
Villa forces against American citizens
have recently been made public These
outrages indicate a determination OF
Mexican bandits to provoke the United
States to further hostilitics. Carranza :,
attitude toward Americans engaged il
the oil business forecasts indifference
to the demands of the United State
that its citizens in Mexico be protect
cd from banditism and outlawry.
The attitude of both Carranza ant
Villa is fatal to more friendly rela
tions between their country and tn
United States and is a menace to con
tinued peace on the western hemisphere
The Mexican outlook is very unsatis
factory and may bring this nation So
rious trouble.

Without attempting to discuss in de-
tail the local street railway situation
The Reformer wishes to record its OPP
position to the bill which would give
the public service commission the right
TO discontinue any or all of the serv-
ice of roads not earning reasonable
dividends. Admittedly, it was intro
duced to meet the needs of q particular
case-that in Brattleboro-and the
principle OF passing a general law for
such a purpose is dangerous one no
matter how DESTROYS it may appear to
all possible benefciaries. The fact that
a companion measure to the one men
toned above gives towns SO voting the
right 20 assist needy street railways
gives the impression that bill No /
would come in very handy as a club in
enforcing bill No. 3 Furthermore, the
fact that very few persons in Brattle-
boro knew the owners of the local
street railroad were sponsors for the
measure until the information devel-
oped in the legislative hearing sayors of
a desire on the part of said sponsors to
get the desired legislation with the
least possible publicity. In any case,
the bill has gone as far as it ought in
the present legislature.

OF peace is not matter of debating a
memorandum to a stenographer, as so
many critics of the Paris conference as
sumo Let as take for example, the case
Of the United States and Spain in 1898
july Is, 1898, the Spanish. government
requested the French government to au-
thorize the French ambassador in Wash
ington to arrange with President Mckin-
ley the preliminary terms of peace. July
& Ambassador Cambon presented the
Spanish note to the President, but the
procotol was not agreed to until Aug. IL,
and the peace commission did not meet
in Paris until Oct l. Practically every
thing except the final disposition OF the
Philippines had been arranged in the pre-
liminary agreement; yet it was not I'M
| til Dec = that the treaty of peace was
signed by the commissioners in Paris. II
took them two months and II days to
settle this one question and frame the
| treaty, which was transmitted to the
senate Jan. 4, 1899
The Paris conference has been in ses-
| sion only so days. it having formally as
sembled Jan. 49,
| Instead OF two nations there are IA. to
say nothing of those that are represented
on special questions, and the conference
is compelled not only to rearrange the
entire map OF Europe but TO settle the
most momentous collateral questions that
ever confronted u diplomatic gathering
| Unless all the reports from Paris are mis-
leading, the conference has made extraor-
binary progress in its deliberations. Ev-
cry separate issue has been referred to
a special committee and the work Of the
conference has thus been carried forward
as whole .
| Complaints in this country that the
framing Of the treaty has been retarded
by the discussion OF the league Of nations
have no basis of fact. Even the consti
tuition of the league OF nations was framed
by a special committee.
The conference was slow in assembling
because Of the British elections and other
conditions over which the various dele
gates had no control The American del
egates were in France more than month
before the conference met. but the delay
seems 10 have been inevitable, and WI
may we'll doubt ii the critics would have
been able to proceed more rapidly thar
the heads OF the various governments
have done. The essential fact is thai
after 60 days of elaboration peace is prac
tically in sight. and in view Of the prob
lens that the conference has had to dea
with it must be admitted that the dele
gates have done extraordinarily we'll
The speed with which the work has beer
carried on is eloquent proof OF the es
sential harmony of the conference. Sucl
progress could not have been made by tn
representatives OF governments engaged il
! wrangling and contention.
