Bx-President Taft bas taken occa- slon to express his mind upon the Mexican situation at more len:th than on some previous occasions, but the eame general tone is to be discerned theoughout. As one who has been through the mill he is able to detect weak strands in the makeup of the policy of the present administration and in particular does he call atten- tion to the danger of forming an al- liance with the rebels, which seems to have been the aim and purpose of Preeident Wilson and Secretary Bryan, Such a taking of sides might be well enough if by so doing the entire grasp of the situation could be gained for the future peace and tranquillity of the ‘Mexican repubiic, but the danger lies In becoming so involved that it be- comes neécessary to support the entire ne of the revolutionists even after Hueérta has been disposed of, and when the time comes for the reestab- fshment of peace. The point is not that the wrong side was selected, since the last administration had no love for Huerta, but that any side was taken and that aid was extended there- after under the existing ecircumstances. Patriot that he has been through- -out the entire period following his re- Unguishment of presidential duties, Mr. Palft stii advises the giving of the mecessary backing to the admin- istration. It is sterling advice and witheut political ‘'warp, far different from what one in his position might hawe taken occasion te say at such & time, BALKAN HATRED, ‘The werid has probably learned but & small portion of the frightful con- dattiona which acocompanied the Balkan ‘war.

THat Purkey has always had a way Bas been told, but from the report of of deoing horrible things in peace or time and attention they do get us- unally goes to the main highways of travel. The cross roads and those of lesser impertance are allowed to main- ‘tain themselves, or at least appear- ances lead to such a belief in a great many instances. Bvery state and every town may have a different method of tackling its road work, from letting it out by to the devotion of a certain amoun of time by the taxpayers in working ou their tax bills. None but those who use them understand the importance of the country roads and the value of keeping them in as good condition as possible. This has led to the inauguration in some states of “state road day” on which date all cit- izens of the state are urged to devote their time to, road building. There be some doudbt as to what such work would amount to in the con- struction of modern roads, but it is evident that many hundred miles of roads would be found to be in better condition at the end of that time than they were the day before. Aside from the actual work accom- plished the adoption of such a plan in Missouri resulted in the creation of a greater interest in road mainten- ance, which is bound to have Tasting value, and in the state of Virginia upon the strength of the accomplish- ment a like plan is being put in oper- ation this week. It requires only a little investigation to find that there are few things which experience more neglect than country roads, which de- pend upon town maintenance. IN DARK ABOUT SILLIMAN. Despite the assurances from the Mexican government that Vice Con- sul Silliman is safe and will be de- livered to the care of the Brazilian minister at Mexico City and provided with safe escort out of the country, there is no real assuring word that he is alive. Certainly there has been time enough since the attention of the Mexican government was called to his case for him to have left the country, but the United States is in thé dark concerning him, barring a lot of prom- ises. Despite repeated reports of his departure from Saltillo there is no tangible evidence of the fact and there is equal uncertainty as to whether he 18 jailed, or In fact dead or alive. The only positive fact in the whole effort for his safety is that he has not been produced and there is just as much known now as to when he will be as there was when anxiety was first felt for him. No more headway is being made or satisfaction gained in the inquiry which has been made concerning Parks, the United Stateg soldier who walked into the Mexican camp and was summarily shot. However dissatisfied the administra- tion must feel over the lack of atten- tion which is being given to these two cases, despite Huerta’s assurances of safety to all Americans, it must realize that the continued failure to either produce the men, give a satisfactory explanation or present a statement from them as to {heir safety, calls for a real test of its 'power. If it is im- possible to get in touch with them any other way it might be well to bring influence to bear upon Huerta's rep- resentatives now in a pdsition to be reached. It is time something was Known about these missing men. EDITORIAL NOTES. The roar of Niagara Falls ought to take away the dull thud when Vic- toriano Huerta falls, Those who are conducting the Beck- er case probably realize that the in- sanity plea hasn't been tried yet. Huerta, ready to do now what he should have done months ago, prob- ably realizes that it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. The man on the corner says: If we don’t have some porch swing weather pretty soon there may be 4 shortage in the June wedding crop. If it wasn't for the occasional jail- ing they received the war correspond- ents would be finding things rather quiet in Mexico just now. When the actual breaking up of the New Haven system takes places it is to be hoped that it will not be on the basis of “ten cents a pound.” There is little use respecting the tent caterpillars because .there happens to be but a few. Just give them the chance. and they will soon own the town, The denial of the claim of the west- ern railroad for extra money for the carrying of the mail possibly prevents the establishment of rates for fat and anti-fat people.
