Carranza Buried in Mexico
City.

Mexico City, May 24.-The body
of President Venustiano Carranza
who was killed at Tlaxcalantogno
last Thursday morning, arrived here
at this city and the funeral was held
This afternoon.
Only few persons were at the
station when the train arrived as a
result Of several false announce
ments WHICH had disappointed wait
ing crowds. George T. Summerlin,
charge d'affaires at the United
States embassay, was among the for
eign diplomats who escorted the body
from the station to the Carranza
home.
Several persons, including Ygnacio
Bonillas, former Mexican ambassa-
dor to the United States, were taken
from the train early this morning
while it was en- route to this city and
were lodged in the military prison of
Santiago Tlaltelolco.

. .CIassihcati tions.

Washington, May "a Cotton
grades would be permanently limited
to the ten classifcations, originally
set up by the cotton futures act, un-
der legislation completed today by
congress.
The legislation which is a rider to
The regular agricultural appropria-
tion bill, will be delayed in reaching
the president until senate and house
conferees break the deadlock over
the provision for distribution of free
seed. By vote of 2O4 to LOT, the
house today refused to accept the
senate provision eliminating the
seed, and the bill went back to con-
ference.
Before taking this action how
ever, the house agreed to al the
other conference changes in the bill,
including the elimination of the SEN
ate amendment, offered by Senator
Conner of Alabama, relating to cot
ton sales. In place of the Conner
amendment the house had insisted
that the ten original cotton grades
be established as permanent law
which was accepted by the senate
Saturday.
The ten grades are now in effect
under wartime legislation which was
enacted to prevent recognition of Il
grades established by the agricultur-
al department.

Government Lost Nearly a Bill
lion Running Railways.

Washington, May 24.-The gov
ernment's gross loss in operation of
che railroads during the federal con-
troll was $900,47S,O00, according to
the final report of Swager Sherley,
railroad administration director of
finance.
Of this total, s677,51s, 900 was
chargeable directly to the excess of
operating expenses over revenues
and rentals for the "class 1" roads,
Mr.. Shirley said. Smaller lines, sleep
ing car companies and inland water
ways added S45,46O,oO0 to this to-
tai.
Administrative expenses including
both the railroad administration and
its regional organizations were plac-
ed at S13,954,00O. The American Ex-
press company was credited with a
deficit of S38,111, 900 in revenues as
compared with it's operating expens-
es.

MINING FOR BULLETS.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 16.-Mining
for bullets, with the consent of the
government, is now under way at
Camp Lewis. A complete jig, as used in
lead mining fields, has been installed
and 1900 pounds of led. copper and
nickel are being mined" daily.
F. Fl. Lamley, of Seattle, decided
that there was an abundance of metal
back of the camp target ranges, where
millions of rounds of ammunition of
all kinds were fired while troops were
in training during the war.
He obtained a concession from the
government On a percentage basis.
Lamley estimated that before tho
work is finished about November 1, q
hundred tons of metal, worth 5000 q
ton. will be reclaimed.
Rife and machine gun bullets, hit.
ting entertainments behind the can1r
targets, often do not penetrate moro
than an inch, it is found. Some OF
them go as deep as one foot. Sixty pei
cen of the bullets aye p%ulverized b!

bullets. but the Jig soon separates the
metal particles from lighter materials

coWardice is one of the browning evils

made to act honestly; if we could get
congress to vote as congress really

But one Of the browning evils of the

American. would take an interest in

RECONSTRUCTION

In 3 speech a few days ago TO q
delegation of business men who WIS.,
tied him at mis- home at Marion, Sen
ator Harding outlined his program Of
reconstruction under government dl-
rection or impulse. The chief items
on this program he enumerated as
follows;
Wipe out executive orders and
laws which serve only to confuse and
dnrkcn.
~2-Rcadjust the tariff.
~3-Rcndjust internal taxation, cs-
pecia!,y the excess profits tax.
lind bureaucratic control and
futile experimenting.
5--Establish closer cooperation be-
tween Government and business by
protecting business at home and up
holding it abroad.
Guild up the merchant marine.
7-Inaugurate a national budget.
s-Restore the postal service to eff
cheney.
e--Extend the merit system In the
choice and promotion of Federal IN
ployces.
1O-Lop off useless jobs, while re-
warding efficiency.
Illuminate department dupljca-
ton and group functions now scat
tered.
decentralization of experts for adj
ministrative improvement.
That seems excellent as a preli:n-
mary effort on the part of the gov
eminent. 1t includes an ssential
which has frequently been overlooked,
namely. the reform of the govern
ment's own methods. Those methods
are VIGOROUSLY cumbersome and
wastcful. Summarized, Mr.. Harding's
program may be said to call for the
simpliication by the government of
it's business methods, tho ccssa-
ton by it of unnecessary interference
with the ordinary processes Of trade
and industry, and positive action or
it's part part in aid of American trade
and American industry wherever it is
apparent that these arc needed.
SO much for the government.
But the government cannot recon:
struct the economic situation in the
United States. That is in the hands
of individuals. And the program for
the individual American citizen may
be summed up in two works:

"other a1leeations in the story wei

'"Other allegations in the story were
also ridiculous. We challenged it's
accuracy and urged that the serious
publication of such absurdities was
unfair. The newspaper commended,
however. that the public official had
made the statements attributed to
him, that these statements were news
and that the paper would have been
remiss in its duties had it not printed
them. The paper took the frank
stand that the inaccuracy Of the offic-
ials statement was not it's business.
Whether the public official was
correctly quoted or not, the incident
serves to illustrate the harm that can
be done by unfounded allegations
coming from official sources"

In such a case the people will serve
themselves best by employing the rep
resentative method, selecting men in
whose character and competence they
have confidence, and delegating to
these men the duty of finding the
best engineer available.
Neither in this s nor in the
handling of the general affairs of gov
eminent is there any question Of the
right Of the people to rule. The ques-
ton is merely as to the method which
they will employ in order to express
themselves most intelligently and ef-
fcctively, and in order to got the best

An uNwARRANTED CONCLUSION.

Candidate Cox deplores the repeal
If the Idaho primary election law,
u step which he interprets as a re-
flecting on the character and intelli-
gence of the people of the state, an in
suit to them, and an expression, of
doubt as to their fitness for self-gov-
eminent. Mr.. Cox's conclusion is en-
tirely unwarranted. 1t may nave been
wise or unwise to repeal the Idaho
law. An observation Of the working
Vt most primary laws at least leaves
the case open. But whether the step
he wise or unwise, there is not the
slightest justification for assuming
that it implies a doubt of the people.
.1n the matter of government all
power is inherent in the people. There
is no higher authority, and no equal
authority. The people govern them
selves in their own way. and they are
competent to decide what particular
method they will employ. The owner
of a manufacturing plant may nc
touch a piece of machinery from one
y y"i - NiiN Z IL OoSo IOl lO1-
low that he is not competent to oper-
ate a machine. The fact is that he
has other duties which he must per-
form, and therefore it is necessary for
him to delegate the actual work Of
operating machinery to others. Never
recting authority.
There is nothing sacred about a
primary election law. It is one of the
methods through which the people Of
various states have Undertaken to
perform certain of their political
work. The principle is that of direct
ACTION. the performance by the owner
of work in detail. If the people find
that they can manage their affairs
better under such a system it is wise
for them to retain it. If they decide
otherwise, why should they be re-
CURED to continue it.
,Such experience as there has been
with primary election laws leads to
the following c~oncluslons:
#The general public can with advan-
tage act directly in matters of gov
eminent when the subjects involved
are so local in character that they
..eme directly under the observation
Of the individuals of the community
affected.
I'm q si,ng!s way direct action by
he whole people MAJ be advantageous
when the decisions to be made I'm
