WAY 10 SHOW INVENTIONS.

If President Obregoa intended to Eo ever the heads Of the government an- thorities by making statement to the American public he must be aware from the response which it has called forth from Washington that he will gain noth- Ing by it Rather will 1t be regarded as suficicht ground for standing by the po- s'tion which has beeu taken by the state department Go the effect that there must be an agreement between the two governments concerning the protection of American rights and property before there can he any recognition of the Obre- rcn government by the United States.
 Obreron Is quoted as declaring that ''Not only have We made repeated off, cial declaration that Article 27 (of the Mexican Constitution) would not be given retroactive effect. hut we have forbid den any action whatsoever that might give any such supearance.- That may hs true today but how about tomorrow? If this country had had relations with Mexico which would warrant 1t in sc- ceptinr any such statement that might ne rerardsd as sufficient, but in it's pres ert demand it is guided by experience. It .s well understood what has happened ;o American lives and property in Mex leo when Mexico was pledged to protect American subjects the same as those of other countries.
 1f Obrsgon takes the position that Mex leo has declared it's intentions by it's Etatsnent. and that it's intentions are to gee that American rights and property are protected there ought to be no harm Ia an agreement to that effect. That would give all concerned something de- hrite to tie ID 10 and it would amount Do more than what Obregon claims Mex leo has done. There is no telling what Mexico might do after recognition even
 Though it claims it's intentions are of the best at the present time. A written dec- aration is always regarded as more binding than a verbal one and t ought .o be plain to President Obregon that the best way to definitely show the real in- ,entions of his country ls to enter into a '1rmal understanding.

MEDICINAL BEER.

True to expectations the lower house of congress has acted favorably upon the bill which will prevent the putting into force of the decision handed down by Attorney General Palmer on the eve of his retirement from office to the effect that physicians could prescribe beer for their patients It was not done without opposition but the opponents were not numerous enough to block favorable &C., ton. The senate will probably act upon the measure this week.
 There can hardly be any question hut what the sale of beer and even the H. censing of the business, would be preferJ able to the long list of intoxicants that are obtainable by most anyone who wants them and are willing to pay the price. Whether beer has any medicinal benefit or not it could not be as harm ful as the stuff that Is on sale and which prohibition has not made it impossible to get
 But that Isn't apparently the question that guided the members of congress in favoring legislation that would prevent the manufacture of medicinal beer. By it's action the lower house indicates that it believes that the medicinal beer ar rsngement is but subterfuge, that if 1t was not blocked 1t would mean that sickness would have little bearing upon he ability to get 1t as beverage and that the feeling prevails that such a lowering of the bars was not intended and should not be permitted. Nothing has served to bring about such an atti- tude more than the way In which 1t Is possible to obtain liquor throughout the country through prescriptions regard less of sickness.
 On tho other hand there are those even among tho ardent prohibtionists who maintain that tho drys arc going too far in the placing of restrictions upon the legitimate use of alcohol, and they arc not backward In making such declara- tons oven though they arc fully cog nlzant of the fact that there is a great amount of dlsrespeet for the law which Is on the statute books, which has been legally enacted and which is held 10 be constitutional.

It is an unfortunate situation in Que Dec where the fremen and policemen have gone on a strike 10 enforce de- nand for higher wages As might be srpectsd in such causes. whether fostered sy the strikers or not. there is bound 10 ae an increase in lawlessness, but the irrest of the president of the flremen's organization and the search by the au- lhorities for many others indicates that Inc strike is not what might be a lied 7eaoeahle and that tho trouble whlss kes developed does not all come from riders
 There are numerous instances of the detrimental effects accompanying such trouble Montreal had its experience where not go very different conditions prevailed than are being reported from Quebec and Boston also had It's difficult lies along similar Ines Such strikes are 'f course directed against the public and under the conditions lt iq to bc expected That reliance must be placed to n large degree upon such reserves as the resnec- Eve departments can command and up- on those who volunteer to meet the ener- Eency

GETTING GOVERNMENT IN DEEPER

There has been presented to congress bill calling for the formation of government corporation of which the capital shall be s1oo, ,O0O for the pur- pose of increasing the export business in our agricultural products The senate agricultural committee is at the present time holding hearing on the bill and not little light must have been shed upon the proposition when Secretary Hoover appeared before the committee and opposed the bill.
 The secretary was careful to state that he was not opposed to the idea aimed at in the bill--the stimulation of agricultural exports--but he didn't be- lieve that it was anything the govern ment should be engaged in and that the method was inadvisable. The situation seems to be that there are plenty who want our agricultural products but they haven't the money or the credit with which to obtain them. Private enter prise doesn't possess sufficient confidence to swing the proposition, so 1t is pro- posed that the government do it. Should that be looked upon favorably by con- gress 1t would mean that this govern ment would be providing the money whereby those outside the country could buy farm products in this country or that this government would pay the farmers for their products and take the chance of getting the money some time In the future which private capital is unwilling to do.
 If anything is going to be done the suggestion of Mir. Hoover is that the money might just as well be loaned directly to the farmers of this country Instead of providing the credit for which those in other countries may get our farm products. In the matter of pro- viding credit this country has gone q long way. It may well stop and pom der as to whether it wants to get in any deeper. Mir. Hoover has touched upon the advisability of such a plan from a business standpoint and in what he had to say the committee should find much ground for serious consideration before making its report

 Why shouldn't it?" demanded the ex- hausted girl with red hair. That Mrs. Parksniff may be perfect lady, hut she can't keep track of her mind I don't know where it wanders when she is seat ed at the telephone but it must be bus fly engaged, because she wants every thing repeated. And I don't know any thing more calculated to congeal ones tactful social impulses than that!
 For instance, say with just the right infection that it is so lovely of her to have sent me the invitation and I am so sorry that I cannot come because her dinners are invariably such successes. I didn't quite get that says Mrs. Park sniff in reply. Rather dashed, I repeat Your dinners are always such 8 success and you don't know how sorry am that I cannot come.

good grace, that Mrs. Parksnff is at tractive, because it doesn't mean any thing, but when I must go on saying it in fainter and fainter accents of enthu- siasm several times, before his wife cemprehends it, I begin to doubt.
 q tell you nothing is so discouraging as getting off some lightsome, chatty re- mark and being hauled up and told to repeat it once or twice I defy any one to keep on being chatty. And hen there is George!'
 "Oh, he just, likes to hear your voice" commented the girl who was pnning her hair into weird coils
 You are 8 little sunshine, aren't you ?" said the red-headed girl Whenever I get off something particularly jocular and coy to George over the telephone that is the time a truck rolls by his window or somebody falls downstairs and he has to ask me over again what I said.
 "1 don't believe a word you say I tell George in the tone of voice which means that I don't mean it at all In fact, the way I tell George I don't be- lieve him is such a work of art that it is compliment good and proper 'What9 inquiries George. T don't believe a word you say!' I repeat, and it sounds as though I were hurling my gauntlet upon the floor in mortal challenge. If were a man and said it like that to his face George would promptly lead witt his right and no blame to him. As il is, he is disturbed. I have practically called him liar, and that Is no way fol a lady love to act.
 You can't blame George for beginnfns to think maybe that little Hocombe gir
 with the black eyes is real sweet wemanly little girl and that red hair al ways does mean temper, now can you? "Or say I am trying to thank hin i for the box of ofwers, I throw all tn | rich warm feeling into my voice that can manage and tell him how perfeetl- sweet of him it was to think of me ant | that the roses are wonders. "A lot o | the fellows are roughhousinE,' saw l George. and I couldn't hear you; wha 1 did you say?'
 Now, Shakespeare and nature neve l repeat. I can't manage that tone O
 voice again to save my life, and when 1 say it over I might just as well be re l beating the multiplication table. Georg thinks I am snippy and maybe I don | get any more roses! And it's all hi | faultr

One result of the coal trade dispute is the enormous increase in the claims of the railway companies on the government under the railway agreement. Sir F. Hall. in the house of commons yesterday asked what was the estimated loss to the railways, due to curtailnEnt and loss of traffic and other causes arising out of the coal dispute, and how such loss would be met.

No later figures were available The loss would fall on the general taxpayer.

 Certainly there can be little reason for rying to curb the Turks and their ruth lessness in that region.
