PREDICTION EXPENSES.

The cost of a campaign for the great
office of President of the United States
has caused a tremendous amount of
public talk through the newspapers.
If one may believe the statements that
have come out through the investiga-
tons that have started at Washington,
some rather huge sums have been put
up for a number of candidates. Cen
eral Wood had one contributor to his
campaign fund of 100000. This seems
an excessive sum to pay out for the
mere purpose Of giving publicity to
the merits of man running for office.
To tell all about General Wood, or Mr.
LOwden, or Mr. Palmer, however, is
necessary, else how would the voters
know what to do? With so many can
didates in the field, how would it be
known which man is best fitted for the
job of being President?
The legality of certain limitation
on campaign funds of this character is
of course unquestioned. But too
lavish distribution of cash neither
looks well, nor is it strictly ethical
litical probity 1t would be question
able policy to elect General Wood or
any other man with just money alone.
Yet, if any man should raise $5,000,000
and through the direct influence of
money secure the nomination for the
Presidency, it would be scandalous
indeed. But what Is the difference in
$1,000,000 and $5,000,000? Merely a
relative difference.
But in this generation, if candidate
did not make great splurge in a
campaign, he would not feel that he
was getting his so called rights. And
in doing it, is the public getting theirs?
Can you guess the answer? Or, could
any one say this incident of big fund
used, Is new form of effort to buy
candidates way into the White
House? Soap box Oratory is always
potent, but wherever was there a
match for PrOctor's?

VILLA ONE DANGER
TO MEXICAN PEACE
Election of De Ia Huerta as Pro-
visionaI President Promises
Settlement of Revolt.
OPERATES AGAINST OUTLAW.
Villa 10 Now Said to Be Raising a
New Army-Several Other Military
Leaders Have Not Given
Their Allegiance.

Washington.-With the election of
Governor Adolfo De La Huerta as
President ad interim of Mexico, the
outlook for a peaceful settlement of
the revolution has become brighter.
The most threatening cloud on the hOri-
ION is the attitude of Francisco Villa.
The negotiations conducted for the
revolutionists by P. Elias Gales with
Villa have utterly failed. Villa Is now
said to be raising new army. Other
military leaders in various parts Of
the Republic with small forces have
not as yet given their adherence to the
new government.
Information from Mexico City which
received special comment was that
when the train bearing Carranza's body
reached the capital a number of his
generals and followers were placed
under arrest pending the investigation
Of Carranza's death by the committee
representing Obregon and Gonzales.
A statement issued by General Obre-
gon said:
I'VE have arrested the persons who
were escorting the body of President
Carranza. These persons were General
Francisco de P. Mariel, General Bruno
Neira, General Ignacio Bonillas and
Manuel Aguirre Berlanga. We believe
Carranza was assassinated, perhaps
by Rodolfo Herrera, because Carranza
was the only one hurt, with all the
other generals near him. Three other
generals who were sleeping with him
were uninjured. These other generals
did not use their guns to protect him,
we believe. We are sending commits
sion to investigate the case and we will
have additional details. AS soon as we
find who assassinated Carranza we
will put him in Jail and punishment
will be severe"
Obregon is reported to have sent a
message to Rudolfo Herrera, who is
still at large, commanding him to ap-
pear at Mexico City and submit him
self to arrest.

NATIONS BUSINESS

Irving T. Bush, president of the
Bush Terminals, declared that the
freight congestion in New York has
undoubtedly done the port a perma-
nent injury. He said it has caused
much freight to be diverted elsewhere
along the Atlantic coast and that some
of the business lost probably would
never come back.
1t is reported that cotton goods man
ufacturers were facing another critical
situation through the abandonment Of
certain steamship lines, while others
are now losing so much money that
they cannot afford to continue under
present conditions.

who sailed from New York for Eng

has started with the departure of the

thousand and Texas fell much below
normal.
There are men In all sections thor.
oughly competent for cabinet duties.
A strong cabinet is easily within Mr..
Harding's reach. and that strong
cabinet will be formed is q confident
expectation.
At the recent election the cabinet
brought no votes to the democracy.
Secretary Colby saw New York give
over million plurality for the repub-
lican ticket Secretaries Houston and
Alexander saw Missouri give that
ticket hundred and twenty thousand
plurality. Pennsylvania, the home Of
Secretary Wilson and Attorney Cen
eral Palmer. gave Harding and Cool
idge nearly seven hundred thousand
plurality. while Ohio, the home of Sec
retary Baker, gave them nearly four
hundred thousand.
4 cabinet may be serviceable In two
ways: In the eminent qualifications Of
the members for the duties assigned
them, and for their ability to bring
political strength to the administra-
ton. Presumably. Mr.. Harding. him
self good politician, will surround
himself with men equal to both oc-

The Burden of Blame.

In almost all cases of street fatali-
ties the coroner's jury renders a ver-
dict of accident eXonerating the
driver of the vehicle. This is in part
because as a rule there are no direct
witnesses. because most accidents oc-
cur in flash, and it is rare that any
body happens to be looking. Often
only one person knows precisely the
conditions in which such a fatality
occurs, and that is the driver Of the
car, and in the absence of other testi-
mony his word is accepted.
In sonnet parts of Europe whenever
a pedestrian is hit by motor car he
is arrested for obstructing the traffic
and punished. We do not go quite so
far here, but the tendency of coroners'
juries is aimoststo the same effect.
1t makes the pedestrian who is killed
so uniformly at fault that he is in ef-
feet blamed for being in the street.
Would it not be well to give the pc.
destrian the benefit Of the doubt in
the larger percentage Of cases? Most
people who use the street afoot are
careful, as most drivers of machines
are careful. 1t is an extremely fool.
ish person who nowadays ventures
upon the pavement without looking
in every direction for possible danger.
And only very small percentage of
the people are foolish. after all. Why
should not those who walk be cred.
tied with common sense?
1t must not be forgotten that while
there is an appalling number Of fatali-
ties, the deaths from traffic are only
a small percentage Of the total num-
ber Of accidents. And the cases in
which people are merely injured rare
ly come to court. In few instances
civil suits result, but most of the
victims nurse their wounds and thank
their stars that they have escaped
alive. II there were a trafiic court
vested with Jurisdiction to cover all
cases in which people are hit by We
hicles every case. whether resulting
fatally or otherwise, could be brought
to reckoning and the responsibility Of
the parties determined.
Above all things, let US not here
adopt the European theory that the
pedestrian is an intruder in the street
and that he interferes with traffic at
his peril.

Commenting on this, Mr.. Wallis
says:
1T would amaze one to know that
on one particular day the Polish for

passports. We are getting splendid
men and women from Holland, the
Scandinavian countries and Czecho-

riving from Poland than from any
other country"
The Poles have always been among
the worthiest Of the immigrants
reaching our shores, and many of them
have prospered in America. They are
brave and capable people.
But they did not leave Poland, for
strictly speaking. there was no Poland.
Their country had been divided and
absorbed by neighboring strong powers.
There being nothing to detain them,
they had sought new home beyond
the Atlantic, and succeeded in their
venture.
Now there is q Poland, and it should
appeal most persuasively to men and
women Of Polish blood living within
the borders of the newly created state.
They should remain and help build il
up. One Of the saddest stories in his
tory seems to be at an end. If those
who love Poland and are of her will
