VOLUME 56 THE PRACTICAL QUESTION. HE border conference echeduled to begin to-day, when Gen. Obregon, Carranza’s Minister of War, meets the United States Generals Scott and Funston, ought to make many things clear to both sides. Gen. Obregon emphatically states that he is empowered to epeak for a united Constitutionalist Government. ‘This country would be glad to be convinced that in dealing with one Chief of the de facto Government of Mexico it is dealing with all. One difficulty ao far hes tsen uncertainty whether Carranza can count on his own lieu- tenante, . In view of the state of Mexican public opinion it {s to be expected that the Carranza Minister will make a great parade of urging the withdrawal of American troops from Mexican territory. That either Obregon or Carranza would go so far as to insist on an immediate withdrawal is, however, doubtful. From the American point of view the question narrows to a practical one: Can Carranza get Villa and police the bandits? Does he expect to do it in one year or ten? As regards thie all-important matter, Mexicans—people and gen- erale-<are well eatisfied with words. Since the Columbus raid this country hes lost patience with assurances. It calla for better guar- antes and looks for action. »NO. 19,975 CONSERVING WILD LIFE!

Yet the State maintains the) most rigid laws to insure the conservation of these beautiful wild! creatures eleewhere and spends thousands of dollars to safeguard them from extermination by overenthusiastic sportsmen. Are there no fences that will keep out deer? Are means of pro- tection wholly lacking to the farmer? And if there is already the, start of a deer herd on Shelter Teland, mightn’t it be well worth ‘0 etock areas up-State? 4 ee aft: EIGHT ALDERMEN. O EIGHT Aldermen of thie city—we hope not more—it is a matter of indifference that hundreds of horees fall daily on| the icy pavements of New York in winter merely because, thetr owners are too mean or inhuman to have them properly shod. The eight are Aldermen McCann, Mullen, Ryan, Bent, Martin, Curley, Smith and Quinn. Thetr sympathies are with the close-fisted owner who would | setther eee his horse slip and go down a dozen times a day than epend e-dollar for caulke. The Evening World ordinance to compel drivers and owners to | hive thetr horses from Nov. 1 to April 1 in a manner that will prevent ov tend ‘to prevent slipping failed of a favorable vote in the Public Thoroughfares Committee because these eight Aldermen declared | themselves against a practical measure in the interest of common mepoy and humanity. Some of the biggest concerns in New York, department stores anf others, using hundreds of horses, have come to the support of the ordinance and pronounced it humane and necessary. But the indifferent or brutal owner who grudges the slight ex-|P pense is against it. And ho found eight Aldermen willing to line up} with him. What does the city think of the eight? —_———+.
