HEADED THE WRONG WAY,

If it deals with facts it is not unlike ly that due attention will be gwen to he report which claims that these who gre opposing the present government inI Mexico are raising a large sum of money for the purpose of making a fight against # through publications part of which would be on this side of the Re Granle
 In connection with Mexican revolutions the statement has repeatedly been made tha tthey got their start ard their sup port in large measure from this country. Whether that may or may not have Eron the case it should be appreciated ttat Mexico has been burdcned wua enough trouble so that if it is disposed to stand for peace and better conditions every en- couragement should be givcl tC it. Peaceful conditions in Mexico mean much to this country It makes little differ ence what the trouble is down there it reacts to the detriment of this country and the safety of the people along the border.
 This country hasn't seen fit as yet to accord recognition to the new Mexican government. Indications are, however tha tit stands for such relations as should exist between neighbors, that it will respect the rights of Americans and that it will do much to overcome the chaotic conditions which have resulted from so much internal trouble. Just as soon as this government can be satisfied | that Mexico has completely turned ovel new leaf it can be expected that there l will be recognition. Such being the cas, 1 it can hardly be expected that there vii l be tolerated in the country a movemen l that has for its purpose the breaking 1 down of such a government, and tn,
 bringing back of the conditions which i ] is hoped will be completely eli1nianteC l by the newly established government
 We must of necessity show regard fo 1 the people of Mexico as well as safeguar,
 our own interests and neither can b, 1 served by organized efforts headed il the other direction

GOOD SIGNS,

Not only outside but within the cir cles of organized labor will there be much satisfaction felt and expressed at the action taken by the executive coun- cil of the American Federation to clean house by getting rid of those who have been responsible in the past for radical demonstrations as representatives of the organization.
 That there should be a feeling that conservatism should characterize the leadership of labor indicates that the dis approval that has been manifested to- ward the efforts of the dnsafe leaders has been growing and that it is appreciated that the time has come when action against such dangerous elements needs Co be taken. Thus the replacing of such men as Fitzpatrick and Foster, the steel strike leaders, by men who are known to be conservative marks a step that is bound to De received with marked ap- proval throughout the labor l'ndy and there is every reason to beliete that it will be move that will eliminate much of the disgust felt by members Of or ganized labor and serve to bring back to the organization confidence that was lost
 
 icals It indicates further that the or ganization is desirous that it be known that it is not and doesn't intend to be guided or controlled by the advocates of radical policies
 This action goes well with the step hat has been taken in calling in Her bert Hoovor for conferences relative to industrial conditions. It indicates that there is likely 10 be a greater effort made for cooperation between capital and la Tor for the cutting down of waste and the increasing of production and the idea seems to be in keeping with the an nouncement made some time ago to tho effect that there is not opposition on the part of organized labor to improved scientific methods in running plants, tc improved machinery or to inventions ant discoveries. It is to be hoped that the signs given really mean an effort tc 'ring about a better understanding ra her than a determination to increased tntagonism

PREVALENCE OF CRIME.

There are periods when those who mink they can successfully carry out fraudulent schemes for getting the peo- oles money under promise of paying big profits sweep over the country Millions are involved and great part of the mon- ey is lost Invariably those who are di- recting the swindle are caught and pun ished sooner or later, provided they stick at the game long enough.
 Just at the present time the country seems to be experiencing a wave of crime which is succeeding in defyihg al law. in ending the lives of many people and in relieving those to whom they be. long of much property and money. IT spite Of all that has been done to detec. and block crime memory doesn't recal when there was so much disregard fol law and order, when there were so man, 1aring holdups and robberies or whor there were so many murders The crim, wave has developed steadily and on bif lines.

ovERRUNNING APPROPRIATIONS.

At the session of congress which will open the sixth of December there will of course be the usual appropriation bills for carrying on the departments of the government Since the signing of the armistice there has been determined effort made to cut down the expenditures to the point where they will more near ly compare with the nations revenue. Likewise the sums that have been asked for purposes that could wait just as well and the large sums that have been vast ed made it apparent that greater stress must be placed upon efficiency and econ omy Appropriations where therefore pared down. It was notice to the depart ments to get along with less to cut down the needless outlays and get the activi- ties on businesslike basis.
 In view of some of the disclosures which have been made such warning ought to have been carefully needed, but such doesn't appear to have been the case if we are to judge by the statement which comes from Washington to the ef- feet that the short session of congress must not only consider estimates foI 1 large future outlays but must deal will large demands for deficiency appropria' tfons The inference from that is that no attention was paid to the reduced ap. propriations, but that expenditures were made regardless of the means provided How much of such sums as will be in- cluded in deficiency bills can be include

Deficiency bills are fra i quently presented, but if there ever wa ] a time when departments of the govern ment should have endeavored to ge ] along with what was allotted them i was during that period covered by sucl

and declared this region a part of the United States. By the treaty with Mex leo in iS4S, the upper part of the stato
 was formally ceded to the United States and the Territory of Mexico was organiz-
 ed in 1851 which reached from Texas
 to California. Disputes arose, however
 over the southern border, which was final
 ly settled in 1853 by a further treaty
 with Mexico, in which additional territory
 was ceded to the United States. This
 was negotiated by James Gadsden, our
 minister to Mexico and accordingly was called the Gadsden Purchase Arizona was set off from New Mexico in 1853 and a few years later a portion was contribut- ed to Colorado. Application for admis- sion as 2 state started in 1850, but il was not until 1910 that New Mexico be. came the filth state. Before the Civil l war the opposition on the part of the | North to the formation of another slave state prevented it's admission. In later years the opposition was largely for par l ty political reasons.

If the impression gets abroad that criminals can get licenses to carry firearms without much trouble, that a murderer doesn't have to pay much of a penalty and stands good chance of escaping entirely from punish nlent, that lawbreaking isn't interrupted if you are a bit clever and that non en- forcmeent of laws in one respect will ex- tend to the winking at crime in others, it isn't going to be overlooked by those who are willing to take chances to get big fat returns through crime any more than it would be by those who might get them through profteering.
