CURRENT COMMENT

RAILROADS are going to have a
hard time this winter. Their hard
time is going TO be in convincing
congress that freight rates shouldn't
be revised downward. At the present
rate the years railroad operating rev.
enues are going to equal the stu
pendous sum Of 6H billion dollars.
This viii be record far in excess Of
the revenue of any previous year in
railroad history. 1t viii be more than
double the total revenue of the roads
m the pre-war year of 1918. Con-
eressmen viii want to know why, with
double the income Of the pre-war
year, it is still necessary for roads
to charge higher-than-war freight
rates.

AM as poor as a church mouse"
said man the other day. But he
isn't by a long shot. He is one of the
richest men in town. He has a splen-
did wife and wonderful children. The
kids have made good in school, are
clean, clear-eyed, outstanding Ameri-
can boys and girls. Dad has made a
good salary, but il has taken all Of
it to raise those children in the way
they should be raised. They will 20

TO their home community and an hon
or to their parents Across the way
lives a man who is supposed to be
one Of the richest citizens in town.
But no silvery laughter of children
ever echoed through the rooms Of his
home; he has gone down through the
best years of his life with no kiddies
to yell Hello, Dad" when he came
sauntering up the front walk in the
shades Of evening. He has hidden
away in his safety deposit box a big
bunch of tax free securities and his
credit is good for almost any amount
at any bank in town. because he has
assets scattered all over the country.
He is fine man, but fate mas been
unkind TO him. He is rich only in
dollars and cents and the sunset Of
life will find him among the paupers
Of the town, for in the closing days
dollars and cents become merely
things Of the past. The poor
man becomes rich and the rich man
becomes poor. Out yonder on the
hillside the only wealth recognized
is what is left in the hearts Of those
who stay behind to mourn.

lowered without involving loss. The
service cost is the same, whether the
cargo is for domestic use or export.
There is no reason for the distinc-

Production Elsewhere,
Texan Says.

Providence, r. L., April 25.-Tht
supremacy of this country in cotton
production is threatened, said w. L.
Clayton of Houston, Texas, in an ad-
dress prepared for delivery at the
convention of the National Associa-
ton Of Cotton Manufacturers here to-
day.
To maintain it, he asserted, the es-
sential things are the elimination of
the present dumping system" where
by "a commodity is forced on the
market in five months which can only
be consumed in twelve MONTHS" the
effective control of the boil weevil,
and the invention Of a simple prac-
teal cotton picking machine.
. "Thirty-cent cotton" he said, ais
a powerful stimulation to production
in other countries. If. during this pc
riod of high prices, these other coun-
tries succeed in getting their produc-
ton policies we'll under way, it will
not be easy for America to COM
pete"
The machinery for trading in cot
ton for future delivery he character
lied as perhaps the most valuable
facility in the marketing process.

MUST GUARD YOUTH
Child Protective and Humane Society
Handles 400 Gases i'm 1922.

James Anderson, president Of tn,
San Antonio Child Protective anc
Humane Society, at the celebration
of the 22nd anniversary of the organi
zation Tuesday night at the Original
Mexican Restaurant, told those in at.
tendance that manhood alone consti.
tutes the wealth of a nation and that
the only way to keep this country
from following in the footsteps of the
leading nations of the past TO moral
bankruptcy is to guard the nations
youth.
That, he said. is the purpose of the
San Antonio Child Protective and HUI.
name Society which is an outgrowth
of the old San Antonio Humane So
ciety. The society begins with the
baby and tries to prepare it for good
citizenship. A report of the activities
of the society during 1922 showed
that $500 had been contributed. and
that with that amount 400 cases were
handled. mostly children.
Besides Mr.. Anderson the following
made short talks: Wallace Carnahan
Jr., Mrs. d. A. Livingston. Mrs. F.

WHAT MEXICO THINKS.
Dispatch Sums Up Editorial Comment
on Recognition Move.
By the Associated Press.

Mexico City, April 25.-Comment-
ing editorially uponi the announce
ment from Washington of the appoint
ment of special commissioners for the
purpose of examining the differences
between the Mexican and United
States governments and the Fastening
of mutual understanding, the news
paper. Ell Universal. says:
The simple publication of this
news has served to arouse confidence
and TO stimulate the energies of the
workingmen and business men. A
wave of optimism has spread through
out the country, precisely at the mo-
ment when Encouragement, distrust,
uncertainty and an acute economic
crisis prevailed throughout the repub-
lie, causing paralysis of our material
development.
"A policy of gradual approximation
with other peoples must be applauded
by every Mexican possessing a concep-
ton of national necessities. Above
all, however, the governments urgent
duties is. not TO sacrifice or endanger
the nations sovereign rights, political
autonomy or capacity to rule and gov
free will for the welfare of the pres
ent and future generations.
Excelsior, which, like all the pa
pers, accepts the naming of the mixed
commission as direct step toward
the recognition of Mexico by the
United States, says:
Yesterday we advised the govern
ment not to concede to foreigners more
rights than to nationals. even though
they might be demanded as the sine
qua non of recognition. We want
American recognition, but not so far
that the White House ambassador
may change his diplomatic functions
for those of censor of our acts, as
has been done in some of the Latin
republics Of this hemisphere.
with the purpose of avoiding that,
the government should offer only what
it can fulfill and comply scrupulous-
ly with what it promises. The diff
culties existing between Mexico and
the United States are important; but
it does not make worse our interna-
tional position simply because diplo.
matte relations are broken or sus.
pended. But when they are renewed,
another rupture will produce a grav-
er state of things than at present ex-
lists. Consequently we wish recogni-
ton, but only on a solid and truly
serious basis and only thus will it be
useful for the government and bene-
ficial for the nation TO guarantee us
peace and economic and political i'm
provement."
Quoting the Associated Press Wash
ington dispatch to the effect that
there is no desire TO interfere in
Mexico's internal affairs. or TO sug-
gest what laws Mexico shall enact"
Ell Universal Graffico says:
SHOULD recognition come n the ba.
sis of the facts set forth in the dis
patch, then it would be welcomed"
