THE MEXICO REPORT.

The senate sub committce Investigating condi-
tons in Mexico has reported to the committee and
its report has been ordered printed. The full copy
OF the report &c ntains two one-quarter million
words. We have yet only n wo-column resume
sent out by the Associated Press. .'e .... ....
This report will be of especial interest to New
Mexico for two reasons: Senator Fall is our very
own and Mexico is neghbor to the south How
ever. Maine should be interested in the general
conditions reported and recommendations made as
New Mexico Arizona or Texas The honor and tran.
guilty of Anne RIGA is at stake in the issue of the
course to be putsued
AS affecting Mexico herself the report announces
that so per cent of her people are inarticulate in
the government and victims of their circumstance
One-third of The population has died in ten years.
chiefly because of under nut.ition.
In spite of ten years Of discouraging evidence
that Mexico carnot compose herself and set up a
stable government, the report. in spirit of giving
her every chance to do So proposes to wait until
whether the government can accomplish
that thing
Hope that this may be accomplished may be
had from the fact that the committee tells them
precisely what they must do TO satisfy offers
sln3' financial sistance IL these things are done at
the same time holding out threat of intervention
for policing purposes if she fails to do these things
The leaders in Mexico will probably see the hand
writing on the wall and attempt to meet our de
mands, Plain talk from the committee was timely
The report shows that 46l Americans have been
murdered in Mexico in the past ten years and that
126 have been killed this side of the border
This record stands a stigma upon our govern
ment. Are We to pursue policy which will result
in duplication of so unsavory result in the next
ten years?
This report is doubtless timed so as to give the
republican convention the necessary data for sane
plank. 1t is to be hoped that the party will follow
the lead OF Senator Fall. +--r '
The review OF facts and the recommendations
appear to be goodtempered and wholly supported
by the evidence.
Let us hope that the next four years will see
reversal of the do-nothing policy of the past sawen
years .'s

ELECTION BETTING.

The posting by a Wall street house of odds al
which bets on the presidential nomination will be
accepted is reminder that the time is drawing nigh
when men ordinarily immune against the entice-
ments of gambling are going to be placed under
strong temptation Wagering on the results of cleo
tons, particularly contests of. such intense interest
the for the presidency proves irresistible to
many persons who not aliured by lotteries,
cards horses the stock market.
The reason is that nearly everyone thinks he is
acquainted with public sentiment and knows what
the outcome will be. He feels that he is not taking
much of a chance therefore but is merely giving
concrete evidence of the strength of his conviction
IT, the other fellow is such fool to believe that
the opposing candidate is going to win, and is will
ing to back up his opinion with money he deserves
to lose it,
: The strength Of election bettors' convictions is
shown by the readiness with which persons with
some regard for their dignity bind themselves
to make a ridiculous spectacle of themselves in
they lose. How often have heard of men letting
their hair grow. of trundling a wheebarrow
through the streets. doing some equally absurd
the candidate on whom they pinned their hopes
failed to win.
Persons who contemplate wagering the cleo
ton should search their memories carefully as to
the outcome OF former bets 1t should not be over
looked that frequently the candidate whom the odds
favor, loses. ". ~
Let US suggest simple expedent for curtailing
this foolish habit of making election bets. Ask
your wife about it, When she gets through telling
you about it your enthusiasm for betting will have
cooled, with the result that the bet-money WILL in
stead, adorn little Johns feet in the shape of a
new pair of shoes. ~. ~

pRE.CoNvENTIoN CAMPAIGN FUND.

great difference of opinion exists as to the
good faith of the senate's investigation into pre-
convention campaign expenditures
The very lateness of the hour at which it was
begun looks ominious Is it an anti-Wood sortie?
ANYBODY who has followed events would know
that General Woods friends had necessarily spent
a large sum of money in making him known to the
people. The Wood campaign has been co-extensve
with the boundaries of the United States.
Such representation as he has instructed
delegations extends from coast to coast and from
gulf to lakes He appears not to be the favorlte
of any particular section His is not a "favorite
son" following,
To accomplish this it has been necessary to OK
pend considerable SUM of money. There are no
evidences that it fraudulently spent. About
all that has been proved to date is that General
Wood has a committee With nation wide vision
and a capacity for organization.
Many people see in the situation evidence Of
the undesirabity of the primary system as too
expensive
Anyone familiar with the operation of primary
laws knows of this defect. The question is rather
of whether it is not desirable even though ex-
