HOPE, VN GENOA

The very fact that notwithstanding the refusal of the United States to take part in the Genoa conference in- terest in that conference, in this
 country, is strong, emphasizes our changed relationship toward Europe. Those who doubt that this interest exists here, and who think at all about the matter, have only to ask themselves if the news that France is looking forward to that conference with more hope did not please them.
 When Lloyd George, outlining his proposed action if he went to the Genoa conference, said that the rep arations matters as covered by the treaty of Versailles, would not be dis cussed by him with view to alter ing the Versailles provisions, and that Russia must prove her ability to calm herself internally before full rccogni- ton would be given her, it is certain he showed his appreciation of the fact that nothing could come from the conference without the united action of France and England. Were Genoa to become stage where the differ ences between France and England would be discussed to the exclusion of more general matters, nothing good might come out of Genoa-nothing of the relief for Europe that would be possible were France and England to stand together. Frances optimism concerning the conference is the fruit of Lloyd Georges attitude which, as shown here previously, is an indirect compliment to the United States. And that attitude of the British Premier was not uninfluenced by the belief that such stand on his part would bring quicker cooperation by this country with his own and with agree ing France.

CHARITY BULL FIGHTING.

The Mexican bull fighting season closed with a spectacle staged for the benefit of Spanish charities. There were more than 25,O00 persons pres. ent. Obregon and members of his cabinet graced tho assemblage with their presence.
 Unfortunately the death blood of no man aided in making this charit able affair greater success In fact the bull fighting season in Mexico, while being great material success as it is estimated that the twenty-five major corridas" attracted an aver age daily attendance of eighteen thousand people, has not been the artistic success it might have been as there have been no human fatalities. Some satisfaction is felt, however, be- cause the bulls have succeeded in catching a number of matadors, one of whom they wounded seriously on three occasions. Then, of course, there was great rejoicing
 These 25,oo0 people arc the ones President Ohregon is said to be try ing to influence in such a way that it will be possible for closer relations to be established with the United States. These lovers of bull fights are typical of practically all the peo- pie of Mexico-al would go, prob- ably were they so circumstanced that they could do so.
 If Obregon stayed away from bull fights he would become unpopular and this he cannot afford to be. The worst of it is, however, that, probably Obregon enjoys good bull fight al most as much as some politicians en- ioy running for office or differing in opinion from the powers in control of affairs. It will be as difficult to be- come friendly with Mexico while bull fights are legal as it would be to gain the support of the Senate irreconcil- ables to anything containing the word League"

WOMEN WILL SIT
 IN COMING CONGRESS
Influence of Miss Robertson Will Aid Others to Election. Says
 Speaker.

Detroit, April 5.--Sevcra women will sit in the next congress in the opinion of Mrs. Harriet Taylor-Up- ton. vice-chairman of the republican club here yesterday.
 The record of Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, Mrs. Upton declared, would aid the candidates of a num- Der of women who are seeking seats in the coming elections.
 Womens political activities now are in transitory state and they prob- ably will never figure prominently as office holders except in minor offices, but their influence will permeate pol itics as it does the home, Mrs. Upton said.
 One of the greatest obstacles in the way of women office seekers, SC said, lis the fact that man trusts woman individually but not collectively"
