AS LONDON SEES IT.

The Associated Press is ultra care
sort. therefore, the greatest import
ance should attach to the following
excerpt from a London dispatch under
date of August %; .
THE suggestion had been made in
high government quarters here that
Mexico possibly presents an opportun-
ity for application of the principles Of
the league of nations and in THIS con-
nection the belief has been expressed
that the United States might welcome
a settlement of the Mexican problem
by the league"
The claim is made by the president
that the Monroe doctrine is expressly
reserved from the operations of the
league of nations. though in his own
draft of a covenant the president un-
reservedly surrendered it, and former
President Taft defended the surrender.
But, American sentiment compelled
the inclusion of the Monroe doctrine
in the treaty: however, Lord Robert
Cecil, the man. who with General
SHUTS, drafted the covenant. has said
in an official statement that whenever
differences of Interpretation of the
meaning of the Monroe doctrine may
arise between the United States and
other nations the league of nations
will determine what the interpreta-
ton shall be.
Now comes the Associated Press
with the statement that suggestion is
made in high government quarters in
London that Mexico presents an OPP
ortunity for the application of the
principles of the league of nations and
the belief is expressed in those high
government quarters that 1.-The United
States might welcome settlement OF
the Mexican problem by the league
The United States, without inter
ference by the league. will settle the
Mexican problem. 1t may be that the
present administration will not settle

lacks on the border by Mexican
bandits-most of the bandits soldiers
of the Carranza army. But the next
administration will settle the Mexican
problem, If a problem then remains
to be settled.

VOICE FROM TEXAS.

Former Congressman John II
Stephens, who represented the e
Paso district for twenty years, is bit
terly opposed to the efforts of west
ern governors to have the unreserved
federal lands turned over to the states
in which they are located.
Mr.. stephens objects because. he
says, the state of Texas would lose
millions of dollars on account of Its
interests in those lands.
Forty-one per cent of the tota
acreage of New Mexico is held by the
federal government. From these fed
eral lands the state gets absolutely nc
benefit except the nominal sums
which come from the forest reserves
We have to pay enormous taxes IL
order that we may maintain our pub
lie schools our highways, our pena
and charitable institutions and pay
for the conduct of public business anc
the maintenance of law and order.
For these necessities of civilized
government Uncle Sam contributes
not one penny from more than twenty
million acres he holds of New Mexico
lands through which the state mus
maintain roads and over which there
must be state police protection.
This Texas statesman is opposed tc
the lands being coded to New Mexico
because Texas. as one of the sovereign
states of the union. has an interest ir
whatever revenues might eventually
arise from the disposition of sucf
lands BY the federal government.
But what of the lands of the state
of Texas?
In seeking admission to the union
Texas stipulated that not one acre o.
her public lands should be eeded tc
the federal government. She retained
millions and. millions Of acres q

FUSION AGAINST SOCIALISM.


In four Manhattan assembly dis
tricts the republicans and democrats
have fused making only one nominal
ton for the lower house of the New
York legislature, for the purpose of
beating the socialist candidate. In
the same number of districts in Man
haitian there has been the same fusion
on candidates for the board of alder
men. The socialists have gained a
representation of ten members in both
houses of the present legislature of
New York, and seven members of the
board of aldermen. the men elected
having been for the most part as
minority candidates running in be-
tween republicans and democrats. In
this way the socialists have attained
a stronger representation than that
to which this actual numerical
strength would entitle them And
since it is evident that good American
citizens really care more for their
country, for their state and for their.
city than they do for party, such
coalitions as those effected in New
York are likely to take place wherever
the socialists are strong enough to
create a danger of the election of their
candidate.

valuable agricultural lands. From
them she has derived an enormous
school fund From the sale of a mil
lion acres of them she built herself
a huge capitol. Not only did the
state of Texas retain all her millions
of valuable lands. but she wants to
hold an interest in the poor lands
located in the state of New Mexico
The most vital question in this state
today relates to taxation. There is a
point beyond which people cannot
pay: but schools must be maintained,
roads must be built and their upkeep
provided for; criminals must be hunt
ed down, tried and punished for the
safety of society; insane persons must
be cared for; public business must be
transacted. All of these things cost
money
There are those-generally men
who pay no taxes themselves-who
say the mines should pay the taxes
OF the state. They should pay their
just proportions of the taxes: but the
mines now being worked will be eX-
hausted before q great Wholesome
of them before the money invested in
them is returned TO the owners. These
clamorers for mine taxes on the same
basis that railroads. for example. are
taxed, do not take into account that
a railroad is a permanent investment,
while the best mine is merely tenn
porary. Every pound of ore taken
from a mine is so much depletion.
1t is always, except in rare Instances,
a race between the repletion and the
income to see whether tho income will
be sufficient to pay back the money
invested with interest, before the mine
is exhausted
But when the mine IS exhausted
there is no way to collect dollar
from it for taxes.
What is going to happen to this
state when the mines are exhausted,
if we permit the public domain to be
dissipated into the hands or nome
steaders who never can make enough
on the homesteads to become tax
payers?
Of course. we may strike oil. But
oil like the mine. is temporary.
But if the state can get the public
lands with the condition that the in
come from the sale of such lands shall
constitute a permanent fund for the
endowment Of either the public
or the public highways, the
future of New Mexico is assured. :

WHERE GET THIS MONEY?

What it means is that the brother
hood chiefs would have the govern
ment issue bonds at 4 per cent in eX-
change for the 100000, goo or $40,
zoe 100000 of outstanding railway
securities, and whenever money was
wanted To operate or extend the lines
more bonds would be put out, Men
skilled in finance and of such absolute
integrity of mind that they would not
attempt to deceive the brotherhood
chiefs will enlighten them, if they
wish for enlightenment, as to the GER
tam consequences of an attempt by
the government to issue 4 per cent
bonds to the amount of 100000, 000,-
600 in addition to its present war debt
OF more than SIS, 900, 100000, For
national defense, to deliver the gov
eminent of the United States and the
nDertles of the citizens from dire peril,
that great sum might be obtained. but
not at 4 per cent. But this new debt
is to be incurred not for national de-
Tense, but for an adventure in gov
eminent ownership and in the demo-
cratization' of industry which every
man of observation and common
sense knows would be be foredoomed
TO disastrous failure. To Get money
at A per cent the investment must be
secured beyond all chance or question.
With the Russian example of demo-
cratization of Industry fresh in mind
and still before its eyes. the American
public would not be very eager to sup
ply money at 4 per cent or any other
rate for the purpose Of putting the
railroads into the hands or the repre-
sentatives Of labor and the politicians.

WHY THE MOONS PHASES.
Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch.

columbus, ONO, DlSpatCH.
The light of the moon is due entire
ly to reflection of the light of the sun,
and the different phases of the moon
to its position in relation to the posi-
ton of the earth and the sun. When
there is a new moon. half of the sur
face of the moon is illuminated, but
the greater portion is turned from the
earth and only delicate crescent ap-
pears to us. AT the first quarter, half
of the Illuminated surface is turned
toward US. and at the fifteenth day
the moon reaches point in the
heavens directly opposite to that
which the sun occupies. she Is then
in opposition, and the whole of the
Illuminated surface is turned toward
us, and we have a full moon. From
opposition the moon passes on in her
orbit, gradually decreasing in size, or
rather less and less of the Illuminated
part being turned toward the earth.

"A. B. M'INILLAN SAYS u. S. rs
UNDER NO OBLIGATIONS TO
PAY RANSOM TO BANDITS

tnlteu States money and not single
life of an American soldier would be
sacrificed to protect Americans in
Mexico, And the statement made a
little later by President Wilson IN hts
speech at Atlanta that no difference
what Mexico might do the United
States would not take a single foot of
her territory. Mexicans naturally
concluded from this that there was
continuous open season for robbing
and numbering American citizens, II
Uncle Sam had said then or should
say now to Mexico that American cit
zens must be protected and a stable
form of government established or
the United States would move on
Mexico with it's naval and military
forces there would be a very different
state of affairs. And # it became
necessary to carry out the threat and
occupy Mexico it would be. a blessing
for the native people of Mexico as
wei as for Americans and others
within her borders.
The fundamental principles that
seem to be overlooked by our Wash
ngton authorities are:
/. That the United States has no
right to interfere with internal af-
ieilia VI IMeHlCO OF W tame dtIcil HOWL
the punishment of her citizens.
2. That the republic of Mexico is
alone responsible for the government
of its own territory and the protec-
ton of aliens within its boundaries.
3. That when it is unable or I'M
willing to maintain organized gov
eminent or to protect American citi-
zens from murder and other outrages,
it becomes the right and the duty of
the United States to enforce such duty
by taking possession with it's military
and naval forces.
1t does not become it's right or duty
to invade Mexico with it's military
forces in the pursuit of individual
bandits, however bold or bad.
Our withdrawal from Vera Cruz,
our pursuit of Villa, our advance on
Villa at Juarez, our refusal to allow
United States soldiers to, return fire
of the Mexicans across the border
our bribery of the bandit Renteria to
induce him not to murder American
citizens, and our purseit of Renteria
with our military forces would be
ridiculous were it not so tragic and
humiliating.
| do not believe l stand alone in
these views but if l do. nevertheless

against a continuation of such folly.

CARNEGIE'S FRIENDSHIPS

To many the first thought on
knowing of the death of Andrew
Carnegie, is feeling of personal sor-
row. For Nix Carnegie had genius
for friendship. His friends were num-
bered not by scores and hundreds,
but by thousands; each name of the
long list stood for real affection given
and accepted. In the number are in
cluded my boys" of the period of
active bushes, with whom he kept
his associations till the last years and
also the outstanding men of his gen.
Grafton of both the United States and
of Britain. Among all these men per:
haps the most eminent is Lord Morley,
still and ever known as John Morley.
The appropriations which Lord Morley
has written and spoken of Mr., Carne-
gle are frequent and warm; and for
Morley he had keen admiration and
affection. For years Mr.. Carnegie had
been writing his interpretations of
men whom he had known. Years ago
he said to me: i can easily say what
think about most men. but about
Morley it is impossible"
