MEXICO.
The United States is the neighbor
and friend OF the nations Of the three
Americas. In very special sense, our
international relations in this hemi-
sphere should be characterized by
good will and free from any possible
suspicion as TO our national purpose.
The Administration. remembering
always that Mexico is an independ IN;
nation ahd that permanent stability
in her government and her institu-
tions could come only from the con-
sent of her own people to govern
mcnt OF their own making, has been
unwilling either to profit by the mis-
fortunes of the people of Mexico or to
enfccblc their future by imposing
from the outside a rule upon their
temporarily distracted councils. As a
consequence. order is gradually reap
pearing in Mexico: al no time in many
years have American lives and inter
ests been so safe as they now are.

DISABLED SOLDIERS.

The Federal Government should
treat with. the utmost consideration
every, disabled soldier. sailor. and
marine of the world war, whether his
disability be due to wounds received
in line of action or.to health impaired
in service: and for the dependents OF
the brave men who died in line OF
duty the Governments tenderest con-
Germ and richest bounty should be
their requittal.
The fine patriotism exhibited. the
heroic conduct displayed by Ameri-
can soldiers. sailors, and marines at

heritage OF posterity. the worth of

Inauguration time. Invited and un-

for their methods Of saving the coun-

Here and there patronage is under
discussion. Some persons go upon
the idea that it is the early hunter
that gets the Office. Hence the speed
with which they move. and have their
friends move in their behalf. Core
spondence is begun. Petitions are cir
culated. Party services are described
and dwelt upon.
Between the time of his return home
from Panama, and the time of his
leaving home for Washington to take
up the duties OF the presidency. Mr..
Harding will have his hands full OF
matters Of far greater moment than
patronage. OF course. the cabinet
places will be- disposed Of during that
period. They must be. because the
members of the official family take
up their duties the same day the head
Of the family takes up his.
For this reason what IL called "cut-

This new council Of safety can do
valuable work in educating people,

shocking increase in the number of

Mr.. Harding and Mexico.

Mr.. Harding's decision not to touch
at Vera Cruz on his Panama trip is
well taken. His interest in Mexico
can be, and probably in good time will
be, manifested in a more effective way
than in an exchange of fluctuations
with officials at landing place.
The original proposition was that
Mr.. Harding visit Mexico City and
participate in the ceremonies attend
ing the inauguration of Gen. Obregon
as President of Mexico. That. Of
course. was courtesy carried to excess.
The presence in town of the President
elect of the great North American
republic, himself awaiting inaugura.
tion, would have detracted from, if it
had not subordinated, the interest
properly belonging to the Mexican
event and the leading Mexican per-
Obregon's day, exclusively.
Nevertheless, the invitation should
be appreciated as testifying to the de-
sire Of the new leaders in Mexico for
friendly relations with this country.
Both Mexico and the United States are
entering upon new orders. Mexico
goes first. but we follow in a few
months. ard theH. as next door neign.
bors. we shall be able to watch each

The United States sincerely wishes
Mexico well. There has not been at
any time any lack Of appreciation in

which our southern neighbor has been
passing for a full decade. Their ma
ture has been well understood. So

A Strong Cabinet.

All discussion of the subject shows
that the country is expecting a strong
cabinet, and popular appraisement of
Mr.. Harding inclines to the belief that
he will meet the expectation.
The reasoning runs like this: Our
foreign relations will require some
new and very nice adjustments, and
only man learned in international
law and familiar with diplomacy
should be selected to preside over the
State Department.
Our finances are in a condition that
would draw upon the resources Of a
Hamilton or a Sherman. A financier
of very superior ability, therefore,
should be selected for the Treasury
Department.
The business Of the Department Of
Justice for the coming four years will
be large OF volume and varied of char.
acter. and the ablest lawyer available
would find full employment in the at
torney generalship.
Both the War Department and the
Navy Department will be passing upon
questions vital to the safety Of the
country, and for that reason should
be administered by men with much
knowledge Of fighting establishments.
The Post Office Department has
grown to very large proportions. and
the people want the best service there.
Commerce Is now the cry, and the
man who presides over that depart.
ment should be familiar with all the
requirements.
Both labor and agriculture are dis
contented, and men of understandings
and sympathy will be necessary at the
head OF those departments.
The material at Mr. Harding's com
nIand is ample to insure selections
that will please the country. and give
The administration good start in pub
lic confidence.

A Farm Strike.

lJl6COnt0HI AZ Wl0Sly, ~ CN oiShs
among the farmers OF this country.
They are feeling the pinch of lower
prices for their products and now,
through the medium of one of their
organizations. they are being urged to
strike. A call has been issued in the
form Of a resolution adopted at the
convention of the National Farmers
Union at Kansas City.
This strike is proposed in retaliation
for what the convention believed to
be an abnormal deflation in farm prod,
uct prices. 1t is asserted that "Ameri-
can farmers have been robbed OF
81 900. .0Oo, 900 in reduced value Of prod.
ucts now on hand"
A retaliatory strike by the farmers
would be most unjustifiable proceed.
ing. But there need be no fear of a
country wide movement by the pro.
ducers OF foods to hold their goods out
Of the market and thus to initiate
prices. In the first place. the farmers
are as a class in no position to con
d
ford to cut themselves OF from their
market for any protracted period
Again. they are not sufficiently organ
lied, even though they may belong in
great numbers to national associations.
A definite strike Of farmers to force
prices back would be a direct viola.
ton of the statutes forbidding combi.
nations ''in restraint of trade" But
the farmers have been always specifi.
cally excluded from the operation Of
the antitrust laws. and now if a strike
were started it would be difficult, prob
ably impossible, to invoke the law.
OF course, there could be no justi-
fication whatever for a strike as a
measure Of retaliation when the fall
Of prices is in obedience to natural
law. Prices are falling generally
throughout the country. and others
than the farmers are being hit. They
are in a far better position than are
the manufacturers who have devel,
oped great plants and laid in large
and must now continue operations
with a falling market. The farmers
plant, save in the case of machinery
added within the past two or three
years, represents no greater invest
rnent than in the earlier days Of low
prices, and the intervening time OF
high prices.
1t is one Of the misfortunes Of our
economic system that the farmer, who
is at the far end of the producing equa-
ton. Is the FIRST to feel price decreases
and the last to feel price increases. In
late years better organization has re.
suited in modifying this condition
somewhat. in respect to the farmers
advantage on the rise OF the market.
But in the best of circumstances it is
the exceptional farmer who makes a
fair profit on his investment Of money
and labor, and there will be general
sympathy for the farmers today in
their unfortunate situation, though
there will be no public support what
ever for q general strike.
