rors. They are little better than the
looters, who seek physical things of
value.
This sort of thing happens after
every catastrophe. The impulse to
seek the scene Of tragedy will carry
some even into deadly peril. There
Is q sort Of courage that overwhelms
sense. In the old times when cities
were stricken with fevers and quaran-
tines were established these curiosity
hunters even ventured into the pre-
cincts Of death, merely to watch.
At Pueblo there IL need of labor.
Every person who can WELD a shovel
or q pick or who can aid in building
shelters for tho homeless Is wanted.
Fortunately there have been many
willing tenders Of genuine aid. The
chief problem has been to organize
and equip the forces of assistance.
The curious ones, however, have con-
tributed only confusion and trouble. 1t
will always be thus.

The Mexican Negotiations.

President Obregon has replied to
Secretary Hughes note, and it is sug-
gested that the Secretary may reply
to the reply. Well enough. While the
matter Of the recognition by this gov
ernment Of the Obregon government Is
in hand, let it be thoroughly digested.
Let Us thoroughly understand Mexico's
attitude, and let Mexico thoroughly
understand our attitude.
Meanwhile, our charge d'anaires viii
remain in Mexico City. ready for any
service necessary in further negotia-
.tions.
These things are to be noted by
those who desire better relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico:
% We seem, at last, to be negotiating
with something stable in that country.
In point of personal character as well
as of capacity for business, Obregon
is an Improvement on any Of the men
who successfully have held the reins
In Mexico since Diaz fell. He knows
his people and the situation, and is
believed to be desirous Of the work
able friendship Of the American people.
(2 The Harding administration has
Just entered the equation. It has no
record Of failure in Mexican affairs.
Madero, Huerta, Carranza had passed
out before it came in. It has known
only Obregon, and is seeking a fuller
acquaintance with him. It Is on the
level, and assuming that he is.
Here would appear to be ingredients
for such an arrangement as will make
Mexico again an object Of the most
cordial American interest, and q field

The Work of the Fathers.

In his Valley Forge ADDRESS tne
President said:
I'VE Americans have. wrought SO
marVelously and SO seemingly easily
that 1t brings US to new appTecia-
tion to stand amid the scenes OF the
to know the making of an Inheritance
to measure our own responsibility in
its preservation"
This observation is as timely as true.
Evidence multiplies that not only for
eign-born men, but many American
born men, need to be Americanized.
They are forgetting at this grave
period. if they ever knew. the price
paid for our institutions, and what
was necessary in the way of both
courage and patience to establish
them. They discuss propositions for
their overturn as glibly as though the
work had not cost a life or q dollar,
but had been accomplished overnight
by twist Of the wrist.
The same is true respecting the
Constitution. Not only soapbox ora
tors, unkempt and noisy, but parlor
bolsheviks and socialists, up to date
in fashion and fabric, discuss the great
charter as though it had been knocked
together in no time. The story Of its
construction, embracing as it does the
intellectual quality Of the men engag-
ed, the time necessary to harmonic
conflicting opinions and factions. the
difficulty even then of securing ratifi-
cation. is either unknown to them, or
unappreciated by them. They feel
themselves perfectly able to pick the
instrument to pieces. and prepare q
substitute while you wait.
Night classes in early American his
tory and compulsory attendance would
be an excellent thing prescribed at this
time on a national scale.

The Curious Ones.

A characteristic phase Of human
curiosity has developed at Pueblo, a.
in other scenes Of horror and devasta-
ton in the past. Scores Of people,
intent upon viewing the souvenirs Of
the tragedy. have made their way
there, intent merely upon looking ON
and observing. They are not wanted
and are being sent away as quickly -
they are detected. There Is real danger
for them, for the guards have orders
to shoot without parley in case Of any
meddling that looks in tho least like
looting.
This thing happens whenever the
elements let loose their fury upon
humanity. Into the wake Of the storm
and the food nows the human cur.
rent Of curious ones. What do they
seek? Merely sensation. They want
to $50 the wreclage. the piles Of
debris, The gruesome forms Of the VIC
TINS the mud piled streets, the pathetic
traces Of the terror. They want to
be able to 30 back home and tell OF
their experiences: Z saw the body Of
a man lodged in tree; Il saw q dead
child In a cradle In the middle Of q
field far outside Of town."
This ghoulish spirit takes no account
of the sufferings Of those the flood has
visited. They are not animated by any
special desire to help. They could not
help if they would. They just want
to look on and store up terrible
memories, Thax- are collectors 1G Ana

Patriotism First.

The interest of President Harding
in the International problems. and
especially in the problem of peace
maintenance. is shown by his con
slant return to its discussion. In
one at Annapolis. the main burden
of his discourse relates to it
During the campaign it suited
partisan purposes to present Mr..
Harding as Indifferent to the coTn. 1

charge that Mr.. Harding would not
have the country do again what 1t

words. Who can that is honest with
himself and the public? He Is not
able to map out q detailed program.
and. to his credit. he will not say
sari1s Ia hS doubtful. This unacceptable
vagueness opens the door to mis-.
constructions. but risk of cit must
be taken. He is not cocksure and
has no intellectual pride about ac-
knowledging that he isn't He does
not share the confidence of his prede-
cessor that one man can take the
world under his individual control.
But what President Harding would
do should crisis occur is amply
indicated by the orientation Of his
mnaintenance nn.d; me "ss and participstion in
world affairs. But he is a working
idealist rather than an advertiser
Of his ideals. This attitude may not
be peasing to dogmatfsts or to those
moro interested in seeming to do
evidence that his fellow countrymen
generally understand and respect it.
