His predccessor, Calles, guided Mexico through perilous yea The con- flict with the oil interests nearly led to war with the U. 8.

He was helped by the American ederation of Labor, which is in friendly contact with the Mexican trade unions. Obregon was the right man to consolidate the work Calles had begun It seemed as though his F lency would see peace with the U. S permanently established, the Vatican reconciled, and the Mexican clergy submissive to ate. The murder of Obregon has imperilled this prospect for the time being. Mexico has always been savage country. Both the rule of Calles and Obregon was full of voilence and oppression But it was better than the anarchy that went before, and it carried the Mexican Revolution on towards the still distant but per- haps not unattainable liberation of the poverty- stricken pecns from the exploitation of the great landowners. * * * * During the past month the Pope had drawn up an agreement The even in calamity of A practically cently returned from Mexico, an agreement which General @brégon would have accepted.

The Education of Calvin Coclidge. (St. Louis Post-Dispateh.) Before he got to the White House Mr. Cool- idge was as complete a stranger to sport in all forms, perhaps, as any man in the United States. And the Presidency did not suddenly and swiftly convert him. His first cautious venture was a stationary canter now and then on an electric horse “far from the madding crowd’s ignoble gaze.” But last summer, in the open spaces of the Black Hills, he lured the wary trout with “milk-fed worms” and this year the news from Brule has told us how the worm has been dis- carded for the fly that wins or loses on the cast. That is not all. He is now planning to take a shot at the clay pigeons which means as sure as fate that Calvin Coolidge will presently be shivering and freezing in the miserable discom- forts of the “blind” while he happily waits for the fluttering duck We have in cheery whom the country will ¢ prospect an ex-President 11 a regular fellow. Honoring Charles E. Hughes. (New York World.) Jurists of twenty-six nations, including Great Britain, France, Germany and Japan, have nomi- nated Charles B. Hughes as their first choice to succeed John F tt Moore, resigned, as a mem- ber of the Permanent Court of International Jus- tice These are more than half the nations adhering to the World Court, as it is more briefly called, and nominations closed August 1. The election of Mr. Hughes at the September Session of the League of Natinos sembly may therefore be counted upon as pra ally assured. The national jurists who are thus honoring Hughes know him as an able Secretary of and specifically for the fine exhibition of leadership in international affairs which he show- ed in the Washington Conference to limit naval armaments. The honor paid to Mr. Hughes in this sction to a high intérnational post will be appreciated by his fellow-Americans.
