Now’ comes Washington Gladden with a proposal which is hailed by at least a part of the Eastern press as the real solution of the Mexican problem. It is to send a delegation of America’s foremost men of all parties and creeds to Mexico; men like Taft, President Elliot of Harvard, Cardinal Gibbons, Judge Parker, Bryan, Brandeis, Secretary of War Baker, Samuel Gompers, etc., the idea being, as explained by the Independent, “that the committee would be composed of men of such fame and standing that all Mexico would sit up and take notice.” That's as far as the suggestion really goes. What the delegation is ex- pected to do after it causes Mexico to “sit up and take notice,” is left for the individual reader’s surmise. Would the High Commission or the Embassy Extraordinary, or what- ever it might be felicitously termed, convince the Mexican people—those in arms—of the good intentions and disinterestedness of the United States? The only people it could reach—the Carranza crowd—are already, in their heart of hearts, so convinced. Could it force the quarreling factions to get together? Not in several generations, unless it could remove the principal cause of the quarrel, the deep-seated, tyranny-bred hatred of the masses for the classes. No, talk will not do any good in Mexico now. The situation demands action without much delay. Not overt intervention, nor yet action neces- sarily meaning war, but decisive action for the relief of the starving pop- ulace, backed by an ample show of force. The way to Mexico's heart—the real Mexico—is thru its stomach, The only way left to convince the Mexican people of our friendship and good intention, and to keep it convinced over-night, is to send our army— when we have one—straight through to the City of Mexico with a rifle in one hand and a loaf in the other. Let it leave a trail of bread, instead of a trail of blood, behind it. Call it a charitable commission, in force. That it will be, God knows. The alternative is to get Pershing’s men clear out of Mexico, erect a barrier of bayonets along the Rio Grande, deafen our ears to the of suffering humanity, bid our national conscience ‘‘be still,” and abandon Mexico to its fate. Ale is a wise man who can say which would be the better way. cr Next Week “GOOD INDIAN” 8 8. M. BOWER Novel “THE LITTLE Ceres AAA a) CRA Some Humbug HAT prince of standpatters, John Spreckels, is nauseated politics and when anything in politics makes John. sick : can bet it has the taste of calomel and the odor of asafoetida, or thereabout Harken unto John, who is speaking of to Hughes, Taft and Roosevelt together on the stump: “The political leaders who were bitter enemies in 1912 have entered a sort of working agreement now, but it is foolish to try to make it appear that they love one another any more than they did four years B all means, let there be a re-united party, but cut out the humbug!” Humbug? Oh, sure! But, cut the humbug out of American politics? You might just as well undertake to play “Hamlet” without a Chee up, Brother Spreckels! Re-uniting a party is always humbu This time the re-uniting is extraordinarily odorous merely because there’s no reason on earth for it save hunger for the offices. Moreover, you're trying to hum- bug the folks with that brazen humbug, “Anything to beat Wilson,” aren't you, John? and lg a project get into Ago. ghost. Solace HE passing to her reward of Hetty Green, “the richest woman,” prove wholly a loss to us left behind to mourn her. Firstly, in order to beat New York out of about $4,000,000 inheritance tax, Hetty made a will claiming lega! residence in Vermont, which does not tax property left by parents to children, and the New York authorities are going to see if their over-rich can beat taxation, dead as well as living. Secondly, Hetty’s aunt, Silvia Ann Howland, believed in piling millions on millions, willed Hetty several millions “to use for life,” and Hetty, not having been able to take these millions with her, they will be divided amongst 1,800 lineal descendants of Aunt Silvia, thus putting into circula- tion several millions which Hetty believed in keeping in her stocking, fig- uratively speaking. Even for a great grief like that over loss of Hetty Green, some com- pensation may be found, if we look for it patiently. not GRAY SHOE” By Percy Brebner Copyright, 19 Lite, Brown & oy Co. m SRXOOKEXXER A Novel A Week!

For miles we rode, hard- ly exchanging a word, and then we turned aside to cross a wide tract f open moorland. Presently, we could go north again, making « wide circle round the neighbor- hood of Syere, and join the main road as near as possible to the frontier. Now that the danger was less, my brain became busy with other thoughts, and the pivot about which they turned was this wom- an who rode beside me.
