If Villa at any time thought that he would be permitted to receive arms and ammunition from this country aft- er recognition had been extended to Carranza that idea has been dispelled by the embargo which has been placed thereon by this government. Ordinarily this might have been anticipated and = sizeable store lald in in advance, but the weakened power of Villa, the dis- organization of his forces and in all likelihood cramped financial condition has prevented that on any great scale. Having recognized a government in Mexico, however, it becomes the duty of this country to give it support and this cannot be done if it is going to allow similar privileges to the factions which are working for its downfall That would mean that this govern- ment was playing ‘a double game by declaring for a goverament which it 1s sincerely hoped will be able to bring Mexico out of its chaotic condition and at the samo time lending assistance to those who are anxious to defeat that endeavor and keep the country at was By preventing the shipment of arms into certain states which are in con- trol of Villa, either by rall or by wa~ ter, a damper of no small proportion is golng to be placed upon the revo- lutionary movement. It is one of the ways in which Carranza is going to profit through recognition. It means ithe moral support of the leader who s in the best positicn to maintaln his position and carry out his reforms and it is only ome of the ways in which Mexico can be aided in getting onto its feet. Villa may retort by reprisals and destructions within -the states ‘where his power is not broken, but it only brings nearer the time when his activities must end. BRITAIN’S CABINET TROUBLE. It doesn't make any difference whether it Is a political party or a coalition cabinet, harmony is one of the chief essentials, and harmony can- not prevail where there is a strong difference of opinion which cannot be overcome. This, according to the state- ment of Sir Edward Carson, whose selection when announced was - the cause for much surprise, is the rea- son for his resignation from the Brit- ish cabinet. He has had no quarrel with any of the members, but he is not in accord with the proposed man- mer of handling the situation in the near cast and he considers that he can only be a hindrance to the smooth working of that body by continuing 2s attorney general. This presents the first discord In the British cabinet as organized un- der the coalition plan, but it is only what France has experienced In the resignation. of Delcasse, its minister of foreign affairs. It is not an in- surmountablo difficulty and even though those countries must regret that any reason should arise which would make these changes advisable he necessity of having a united cab- inet is of the first importance. It is required in any undertaking and if the. necessity of it is emphasized by the action taken it is possible of much Zfuture good. The service which Carson is quali- fled to render is not to be ignored any more than that of Delcasse, but such changes cannot be allowed to weaken the efforts which must be put forward in meeting the problems which those countries face and it must be looked upon as a most unfortunate circum- stance that there are those in England who hint that it will mean a revolu- tion at home because the minority cannot control the majority. . PLEASING TO DEMOCRATS. Many ave the infuences which are being brought to bear for the purpose *, of keeping life in the bull moose par- ! ty. There are those in that organiza- party has no chance and who re- A to be moved by the experiences Ihe country has undergone as the re- Bult of the indirect part which the ves played therein. Happily but fow of those left who that not until Col. Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson, Albert J. dge or Matthew Hale says he will he depart,from his stand swayed by such urging against their own interests, but the experience of the past is one of the best arguments ogainst making the same mistake twice. The bull moose call has lost its attractiveness for the voter who has had his flll of the results of demo- cratic polictes. HURTING MERCHANT MARINE. satisfaction to the which has been pleading for an in- crease in the American merchant ma- rine. By its own legisiation it has been blocking just what it has been urging. Instead of making the trans- oceanic business more attracttve for capital by legislative acts which would call for more American vessels, it has driven to other flags many of those which have been flying the stars and stripes. Back of the seamen's law, which is soon to become operative, is the idea of safety, but it has been undertaken by this country alone while other countries are still offering the attrac- tive inducements which were always more favorable to merchant vessels than the advantages neld out in this country. The La Follette law stmply makes it impossible to compete with foreign conditions although it is urged that a thorough test should be made of the new law when it is thoroughly un- derstood by shipping interests which are fully in touch with the situation that such would be business suicide. There is every reason for urging safety, but when it comes to carrying it so far that the vessels to which the new provisions would apply cannot make a living it indicates a short- sighted policy. Enlightenment on this point is being gained every day and the manner in which the cemmerce on the Pacific is being shifted to foreign lines is one of the deplorable results. The destructive legislation needs some immediate and effective alterations. FOR SAFETY FIRST. There are in session this week at Philadelphia 3,000 or more delegates to the National Safety Council, the object of which organization is the promo- tion of “safety first” and this applies all the way from- international rela- tions to highway and shop conditions. It is an effort to bring to the realiza- tion of the many million people in this country that it is time to call a| halt to the great amount of careless- ness that prevails in every day life. This council is doing a magnificent work in directing more attention to this subject. There is manifested each day the tremendous amount of heed- lessness which prevails among every class of people. It has grown to pro- portions of a glaring habit and too often it is the case that instead of looking out for one's self the burden is thrown onto someone else, who may or may not be consclous of his task. It makes little difference whether it is the employer, the workman, the child or the agent, the advisability of educating the people to a recognition of dangers and to a regard for their own protection cannot Qe disregarded. It ought to meet with a generous re- sponse upon the part of those for! whom it is intended and it will in| time, but it will result only from long and persistent presentation of the gross carelessness which prevails and the consequences which can be avoid- ed. Nothing discloses the need of this work more than the tremendous | losses of life and property which oc- | our each year. This great waste should | be stopped and it can be to a large ex- tent by consistent adherence to the ideas of safety first. EDITORIAL NOTES. October is giving daily evidence of the fact that it is trying to satisfy everybody. It can usually be told by the face of a hunter whether he is just start- ing out or returning. The man on the corner says: A man can explain almost anything by psy- | chology and get away with it. The despatch by the allies of assist- ance to the Servians cannot be charged = violation of any speed regula- tions. History is bound to devote much space to the suceessful matrimonial administration which the president has conducted. Even Mexico must understand by this time that there is mothing like a new government for stirring up & new revolution. ‘While they are using big armies in Burope for the control of railroads, high finance usually accomplishes it in this country, From the way in which trains are being held up in the eastern states it is evident all the bandits are not along the Mexican border. The determination of Great Britain to resort to conseription if necessary doesn’t indicate any sentiment for| peace in that country. Whether the majority of the women of New Jersey want to vote or mot, the voters have expressed it as thelr opinion that they do mot. \ It may be as claimed that both the German and Austrian emperors are suffering from profound depression, but none of the other heads of countries can he said to be entirely free from worry and thoughts, 7he idea of making hunters wear 1ed coats in New Jersey as a protec- tion against eareless handlers of hunt- ing irons may not be adopted, but there is certainly good ground for some distinguishing signal for the man with the gun.

A large boat chartered to carry 1700 passengers will be anchored at the finish line. The sale of seats on this boat will be limited to 1000 so that spectators will be more comfortable and will be able to have a better view of the race. A smaller boat, chart- ered to carry 300 will follow the race and accommodations will be limited to 200.
