CARRANZA

President Carranza was in the hab
it of calling himself an idealist. Per
haps he was, to as great an eXten
as the Mexican atmosphere e able
produce idealists. His idealism hap
pened to be of the futile kind. He
had evolved an intricate, half social
istic scheme for the rehabilitation of
his country through the instar:: demo
cratization of all it's peo!ic Lik
most mistaken idealists ne wroug:l
as much evil with his plans as they
wiped out, and probably more.
Finding that the ideal programme
would net work, the bewildered peon
being unprepared to assimilate com
plete democracy. Carranza became
the ordinary Mexican politician, boil
steering his administration with the
old prop of hatred of the United
States. The discovery that he could
play the game of defiance successful
ly against Mr.. Wilson was of ire
mendous value to him. So long as he
could make the ignorant mass of the
Mexicans believe that he, their First
Chief, was Haunting the great repub
lie to the north his hold on the Presi
dency was safe. The long list of mur
ders and outrages perpertated a.
gainst Americans in Mexico and over
our border contain the real story of
Carranza's retention OF power.
Carranza was not an administrator
like Diaz, or thinker like Madero,
CT a strong man like Huerta. He came
into office on promises and kept him
self there through his enmity for the
United States. When circumstances
prevented him from further playing
the role of the defiant he went the
way of his kind.
Mexico deserves some better for
tune than she has been having She
has suffered too much from the sins
of ancestors and the crimes and fol
lies of politicians. She needs a strong
man who will be at once at peac
with his people and the outer world.
Perhaps there is such man.-<Sun
and n. Y. Herald.

such as a coal miners strike, this
language would permit a national

any threat Of foreign war over the

Framers of the bill have contend

language employed was to cover only
a war emergency and it was said to-
day that when the bill finally emerg-
cd from conference it probably
would show amendment to make the
clear and to safeguard the section
against any peace time application.

THE HOPE OF THE WORLl'

Several davs ago a letter frcn
President Wilson to an Oregon ma:'
was made public in which the pres
dent not only advised that the issue
in the coming campaign should p'
the ratification of the Tl.aty tT T'r-
soi,les with "The HOPE Of the
World" and all other acce ;;"E'Hs at
tached but alleged that the countr!
could not do otherwise taHn enaorse
the whole consistent wi;a hp11r
It so happened that Senator Cham
,erlain was up for denomination -
the democratic primary in that sta,e'
1t so happened that the man to whom
the presidents letter was written
was a bitter political opponent OF
Senator Chamberlain. The latter had
severely criticized the administration
for it's want of preparation IN the
early stages of the war; had critisls-
ed other policies of the president;
and in the end had voted for the
Lodge reservations to the League OF
Nations covenant. Called upon for a
statement as to whether the Oregon
letter was to be construed as inim,-
cal to Senator Chamberlain's candi-
dacy for the nomination, the author
tiles at the White House stated that
it was not known there that Senator
Chamberlain was again running, and
that no fight was being maze on in
dividuals. However, there was an
out-and-out Wilson man in the race
against Chamberlain. And Col. Geo.
Harvey in the current number of
Harper's Weekly points out. that no
less person than MI. Wilson, himself,
had said:
The President may interpose his
powerful influence, in one cover
way, or another, in contents fol
places in the Senate"
And as Justice Geo. w. Gage, OF
the Supreme Court, would say, 1.-THE
president has tried aforetime to dc
this very thing"
Every person is entitled to his OWL
opinion as to the intent of the presi
dents letter. Whatever the intent, Il
is manifest that the people in Oregon
are not to be dictated to by the Pres
ident, nor any outside influence
Senator Chamberlain has been re
nominated by a large majority. Hi
only trouble will be that In Ia

apRAMING ON ACCOUNTS. .

1t is confidently stated from several
sources that the state OF Vermont
financial system has been SO reyolu-
tionized that it will not be possible to
have a recurrence of such an affair as
that which has been brought to close
through the action OF Gov. Clement in
pardoning Horace +. Graham after SEN
tence of not less than five years Tor
grand larceny had been solemnly inn
posed in the Vermont supreme court.
The system was such that state OH
Gals were enabled to draw on their
salaries, that is, to draw in excess Of
the amount which was due them. Mr..
Graham, while serving as state auditor,
drew on his salary accounts; he not
only drew on it but he overdrew to an
amount far in excess OF what would be
due him in many years OF service. tie
overdrew and he overdrew until he be
came hopelessly entangled in finan-
cial web from which there seemed to
be no avenue of escape, Hence the
grand larceny charge, the trial, the
conviction, the sentence and the par-
don. 1t has been sorry mess and not
wholly relieved from its distressing
features by the action Of Gov Glenn
ent in granting pardon to his prede
cessor in office. However. there is hope
for better things in Vermont by reason
of the change which now, so i Is said,
makes impossible this system of draw
ing on salary accounts, one Of the most
ubiquitous practices that ever crept
into vermont's public life There
should be a strict hewing to the line
