WARN ODRECON OF
 FATE OF MADERO
Several Senators and I39 Deputies Urge Mexican President to Change-PlOtting to Cause
 DisaffectiOn.

Mexico City, May 18.-Beware of the fate of Francisco Madero, who failed to heed solicitations to change his policy and fell," was the warning sent to President Obregon last night by liberal constitution members of the chamber of deputies and the Sen ate. The warning was contained in a memorial drafted at caucus of the liberal constitutionalists and it made pointed charges that P. Elias Gales, secretary of the interior, and Adolfo de La Huerta, former president and now secretary of the treasury, had attempted to cause disaffection against the Obregon administration. The document was signed by one hundred and thirty eight deputies and several senators.
 Referring to the necessity of Presi- dent Obregon changing his policy im- mediately, the memorial said
 Attack Considered Grave.
 "In connection with the invasion of the chamber of deputies by radicals last week, the press has published your statements which are almost identical with those made officially by the confederation of syndicateC workers. You have stated the at tack was of small importance, but this is a statement which is at abso- lute variance with all the concepts of society,"
 In conclusion the memorial de- elared that Francisco Madero's friends were convinced of the disloy- alty of some of his alleged support CTS. It is said these friends had vis- ited Madero in 1913 and told him it was necessary for him to change his policy.
 In Blind Confidence.
 But Madero, the memorial went on, confident of his popularity, blind in his capacity to conceive of wrong, and sure of the loyalty of those who were represented as disloyal, needed not, and within month there was be- gun the most most prolonged tragedy this nation has ever known. At this moment members of the Mexican Congress who have signed this docu- ment call upon you to make a su- preme effort that history may not be repeated, and place at your service their loyalty and patriotism and their wishes for the prosperity of the nation"
 Secretaries Gales and de La Huerta were charged with attempts to use their offices to propagate radicalism There was no request made, however for the resignation of the two mem bers of the cabinet.
 Radical sympathizers attempted to force their way into the chamber of deputies last night to attack mem bers of the liberal constitutionalist party, who were holding a caucus The men engaged in the disorder were dispersed by the fire depart ment The radicals then transferred their activities to Alameda park, in the center of the city, but the fire men again interfered. One socialist deputy was arrested.

 CABINET DIES A PAUPER
But for Canadian Birth Former In- terior Secretary Might Have
 Become President.


 Rochester, Minn., May 1S.-Frank- lin K. Lane, former secretary of the interior, died at local hospital early this morning. Death was due to an- gina pectoris.
 Mir. Lane was operated on here May 6 for gall stones and appendi- citis and was said to be recovering when heart disease, from which he had suffered from time to time dur ing the past eight months, developed. Hospital physicians expressed the be- lief that the operation would remove the heart affection but an attack early today developed fatally.
 Immediately after he had recov- cred from the influence of the anaes- thetic Mir. Lane said: ''I am surprised to be alive. l hope to be able to live a long life, doing good things for ever"
 Following his resignation from the Wilson cabinet, Mir. Lane sought to recover his health anc came here in January of this year. He was advised to spend the winter in a warmer cli- mate and visited in California, re- turning early this month. His condi- tion was favorable for an operation and continued improvement was noted until the heart attack developed this morning.
 Mrs. Lane and George Lane, a brother, were called to the former .secretary's bedside shortly before 5 a. n., today and were with him when he died at 6:10, o'clock.
 Hopeful Last Night
 Last night it was thought Mr. Lane was much improved. His brother spent several hours with him and when he left Mir. Lane said: "See you in the morning."
 George w. Lane said this morning that his brother left mo estate what .soever."
 Mir. Lanes body will be taken to Chicago tonight, accompanied by his brother and his widow
 Resigns for Family's Sake.
 It was often said of Franklin K. Lane that if he had been born in the United States instead of Canada, he would have been presidential timber. After serving seven years in Presi- dent Wilson's cabinet as Secretary of the Interior, he resigned his S12.O00 a year post in expensive Washington early in 1920 "in justice to his fam fly" to become vice president and legal adviser of the Mexican petro- leum companies controlled by Edward l.. Doheny.

Recounitjon of Mexico

Why the government has taken steps torgzrd the recognition of the Obregon government is clear. It is said that Mexican policy has heen determined and that the announcement cs it only awaits demonstration of the ability of sae present Mexican government to maintain order.
 We think that President Obregon has given a fairly good demonstration his capacity for the restoration of order and for months now he has maintained it in greater degree than at any time within twelve years. There have been inespient revolutions and of revolutions but generally the country has been undisturbed. It has certainly been quiet it under the iron handed Diaz.
 Our aloof attitude toward the government think has made the task of President Obregon the more difficult Though not standingg notice to leaders of revolutionary tendencies to uprisings against Obregon, they not discouraged against such movements they would be if they knew that Obregon the hearty support of the United States and that the friendliness informally profess for Mexico could be counted material frsendlinesS. We cannot believe that recognition has been held up through the influence of selfish interests which are demanding guarantees sessions as the price of recognition.

Weak and Strong Government.

When the government undertook in the Adam srz law to fix scales of railway wages it might wrl have undertaken fix wages in every indus try and generally the of unskilled labor well IL might logically have proceeded to fix sAe prices Of all commodities.
 We know that the application of the "com- rncdity~ 10 labor has been tabooed. We heard and wish ii that the wages labor should ucs be determined by the law of supply and demand eas that the basis of it should decent standard cr living with enough of the left to give assurance against old age the rainy day. How cve- il would be easy to decree against the rainy day it is to fix the price of labor without regard surrounding conditions.
 All labor is part of general structure. The wages in any particular line will to extent affect the wages in other lines There may time ee greater demand for class of labor than for another that in that line will reach high peak the peak will not be permanent. Generally a fairly permanent relation among the wages of an classes of labor It with that natural relation that the Adamson sought interfere and she Interference perpetuated by the government in its direction of the railroads.
 The roads are demanding release from the ss-caned national agreements which still maintain that interference and the other day the attention ss the senate Investigating committee called to the fact that the railroads compelled pay . certain to unskined labor their tracks, chfle the the abutting lands paying loss wages more laborious toll performed through soDger hours.

 better and a direct way to have secured sae prcfessed aim would have been to enact legsla ssca which would have prevented either lockout strfkke until the dispute could be settled by the government Such firm stand would have zwed both the roads and their employees.

The Coldness of the Intellect
BY DR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright, 1921. by Frank Crane1

Professor Woodbridge Riley of Vassar College was engaged by c. P. Putnams Sons, the publishers 10 write the chapter Modern Bibles in the Cambridge History of American Literature
 When the work appeared and Professor Wood bridges remarks on Mormonsm and Christian Science read by the adherents of those two faiths here was trouble Mormon elders and Christian Science: leaders descended upon the Messrs. Putnam even as the Assyrian down like wolf on the fold and made things hot that the publishers withdrew thss book from circulation apoogzed for hurting the bret rens feelings, and presumably got somebody else to write about two Modern Bibles who would treat them more sympathetcaly.
 Professor Woodbridge said, in defense q orig finally asked by the editors of this series to write an article on popular Bibles "
 "They suggested the Book of Mormon, and Science and Health, and they made stipulations as to the tone in which this article to be written Certainly the publishers could not have been ignorant of point of view and they could not have expected to be nte lectuay dishonest and suppress the information l. possessed. What did they expect? not asked to write on Holy Bibles, but upon popular Bibles" .s
 All of which brings up the question of the Ethics of the Intellect
 Whatever religion may be in mans soul, if he be intellectually honest he can have but one religion III hs brain-that is, devotion to the truth he sees It.
 The only true God, to the intellect, is My God.
 It is we'll to have warm heart, but all the heat should be kept here 1t is bad for the head Unless tie intellect is absolutely cold it is useless There too. many passionate brans too much sympathetic think ing. entirely automatic To think what you ought to think is immoral The only perfect morality of thought IS to think what you cannot help thinking.
 An encyclopedias or any reference book is supposed to be for the ntegentsia not for the pebs It is not written convert anybody, to hurt to coddle, in any wise propagandize. It is written to give facts.
 An encyclopedia is poor place to go for ones T ligion. Mormons and Christian Scientists also Methodistsss Catholics and Mennontes, are all entitled to the usual couresies in society," in the newspapers, in novels,
 the stage and elsewhere, wherever supposed to n consider one another's feelings.
 But in Science, as in poker, friendship ceases. A holy institution gets consideration than a microbe And belief in the Trinity or other saving doctrine is subject to precisely the treatment accorded to the procession of the equinoxes.

 Dear Sir:
 write to protest against the shameful fashion in which as one of your subscribers I have been deceived and betrayed
 When last January I invested in a subscription s6.50 of my hard earned money, I understood that I was sub scribing to respectable family paper, one which I could allow my children to read without fear of their per version. This morning I see by your leader on Free Speech" that the propaganda of the Bolshevist in it's most insidious form is going to be brought daily to my door. You are careful not to announce that you have sold your soul for Lenine's gold of course not; but your other intelligent readers have no doubt discerned the truth just as quickly as I did.
 For the benefit of those few who are not intelligent I trust that you will give me space enough to eluci- date a little.

The Right of Way For Doctors

We that the doctors of Phoenix will not abuse the privileges that may be granted them the proposed ordinance which will allow them immunity from the traffic regulations in emergency cases. We mean too, that we hope all will not regarded by the physicians emergency cases.
 There is probably not one case in a thousand to which physician is summoned that calls for an extraordinary burst of speed. Let do little figuring: Nearly all the physicians in Phoenix are located in the central part of town. The average rate of speed made by automobiles which keep within or nearly within the regulations is fifteen miles Outside the congested district bounded by Adams, Jefferson, and First street and First avenue. greater speed of say twenty miles hour is winked at sufficiently close to the maximum limit It is less than mile from the center of town to the corporate limits north and south and very slightly more than a mile to the extreme east and limits.
 At fifteen miles hour doctor would find himself outside the limits in four minutes and be- yond the of the city traffic regulations With the limit removed the physician would hardly travel than forty miles hour through the city streets. And that rate he would two minutes in arriving at the city limits But in making that practically negligible saving he would the risk meeting with n accident which would detain him many minutes if not some hours.
 It is in the rarest of that the life of patient depends upon a few seconds a minutes. There are often critical points in an illness when the immediate and constant attendance of the physician is desirable if not necessary. in the incipiency of ailment time is not much of factor that should set aside reasonable traffic regulations approach possible to it's annihilation
 Fire department vehicles and ambulances are given right of way the streets They pro- ceed with such chatter and clangor drivers of other vehicles warned from blocks distant to get out of the Such warning could not be sounded by hurrying physicians and doubtless many accidents would result from abuse of their inn munity from the traffic regulations
 We not opposing a reasonable suspension of the regulations to physicians hurryng in emerg ency cases and the gods forbid that should be suspected suspecting that the demand the phy sicians for such immunity has behind it uterior purpose provoke collisions other accidents in the streets which would eniven the surgical business We cannot conceive that any doctor would risk life limb in the stimulation of business in that way.

Discussing the ,:cst of running q newspaper, MT. Spear told us tht story of the young man who drove the devil to distraction. I. seems thae the young man had dissipated a vast fortune on th.s, that, and the other piece of non sense, including wine, women and song. When he was about down to his last penny and was bemoaniiE his prospect of a penniless future he groaned aloud, "Oh, Id sell my soul for the assurance of all the money that I wanted during the rest Of my life"
 Whereupon, the Devil appeared be- fore him and offered to close such a deal with the young fellow-his soul for all the money he could spend The deal was closed and the devil went his way.
 So the young man started out again on his career of wild spending and extravaganza. He spent money as though it were so much water. He lavished it on anything and every- thing. And always no matter how much he spent. he found his supply of money replenished regularly from some unseen source. The devil was living up to his agr cement.
 Nov. when the young man had been so spending for long time. the thing got monotonous. Apparently hc had exhausted all the new channels through which he could make his money flow. And then one day he hit upon the plan Of owning a morn@ ing newspaper. When he was in the midst of the preliminary work of letting contracts for presses. mecnanz ical equipment, securing contracts for news and feature services. hiring edi- tors and business managers and, in short. doing all things necessary to start a real newspaper, the devil ap- peared before him and spoke in part | as follows:
 Whats the big idear:''
 Going to start a newspaper" said the young man. aidinF You're fur
 nishing the money-you knew
 Not by a jugful," exclaimed the devil. When I made that deal witt, | you l meant, of course, that yoti ! would have 70 stay within the bousS s | of sanity. But to finance a news paper-the deal is off and we'll just forget all about the money of mine
 you have spent in the past:' 1 That's nothing" said one of the ! girls, "a woman near us whose house 1 was burning grabbed an expensive l vase from off the mantel. When she | got out to the sidewalk with it she
 was so excited that she just threw | it down and without stopping to see
 that she had smashed it to pieces
 she rushed back into the house for
