Mexico must adopt the demands
laid down by Secretary Of State Hughes
calling for the signing Of treaty that
will respect American property rights
before the Obregon administration
can obtain political recognition. One
member of the Cabinet is reported to
have said he did not see how the
United States could afford to recognize
a government which has openly de
clared it would not respect the prop
erty right of Americans in Mexico.
Mr.. Hughes attitude with respect
to Mexico is wholly consistent with
that announced by him with respect
to Russia If a country is averSe to
conforming to the dictates of civil
lied society it can not hope to enter
into diplomatic relations with the
United States while the Republican
administration is in power The dig
nifty of the nation is measured by its
associates

Middlebury's community playground
opened yesterday and promises to be
even bigger success that it was last
season. Contributions in the shape Of
money have not been, however, equal
to those received last year. 1t is pos
sible that there are some who have
not been reached by the solicitors.
If this is so they will be helping a
worthy cause by sending their money
to P J Hincks, who will see that it
reaches the proper channels and is
expended in an effort to give the kid
dies a good time.

Right in the midst of a Careful
crossing campaign which is plaCarded
from coast to coast with a very vivid
example of the danger involved in
trying to buck a locomotive off the
iron, the general safety agent of the
New York Central lines tells us that
railroad crossings have killed an av-
erage of $4,000 people for the past
three years. A large per cent. Of those
$4,000 who met death could have been
alive today had it not been for the fact
that they wanted to save a minute
or two by cutting in ahead of fast
freight or express train Some fatalities
occur, of course, which perhaps are I'M
avoidable. Others are called un-
avoidable being laid to a blind eros
sing or to the claim that the train was
not heard or the whistle was not
blown
But there are simply no excuses
to be offered. The more blind the
crossing the more the care to be eX-
ercised. Why not come to a dead stop
when approaching a grade crossing
and get your bearings before crossing
the rails? The few minutes consumed
in taking this precaution is not a ser
ious loss of time He who tries to put
one over by beating the steam engine
on its own home grounds flirtS with
death. The figure, Of the safety
agent give a very clear idea of what
becomes of firts.
