, BY WHAT RIGHT?
Those intemperate and ill-advised critics of President Wilson’s
course in the Mexican question base their whole argument on the
assumption that self-seeking Americans know better what is good
for the Mexicans than the Mexicans do.
Of course, we don’t mean to say that there was ever an ex
ception to the rule that our neighbors are more competent than
ourselves to understand and direct our own business, but we do
Dflfer the suggestion that such assistance is justifiable when en
forced.
kv The world wags along on the opposite principle that every
individual has his own right to choose for himself—-choose he ever
so badly. Though, ever since that day when the greedy wolf found
the lamb guilty of muddying the stream from which he desired to
(drink, this principle has been subject to sudden and violent dis
ruptions.
The Mexicans are a poor lot; they get excited when they
ought to be calm; they kill people when it is not wise to do so;
they interfere, in their family rows, with dear friends who desire
to remain among them because the fruits of their land are luscious
und—what more natural than to send an army costing millions of
dollars into their land to conquer and subdue them?
Pursing the logical outcome of the illogical assumption that
it is for the United States to spank them and stand them in a cor
ner, because they are all naughty—what then? An interruption
of our important constructive legislation, a ruthless destruction of
life, a wanton waste of money and a nice little job which will keep
vs in the conquering business for at least a half century. .
And what will this country get for its pains? Good pickings
for adventurers and some more large private fortunes.
Is it worth the price—not merely of blood and money, but of
our ideals of justice and decency?
Can we accept it that the nations, even yet, are no more de-
.veloped and enlightened than the greedy wolf who spied that fat
and juicy beast in the stream and lost no time in finding an excuse
for surrounding it? . . ..
What have we been working toward in all these centuries, if
. we are to go back to principle that might makes right?
American Colleges Are Laching in
Democracy, Says Dr. Slosson
TREATY BETWEEN ENGLAND
AND GERMANY SIGNED SOON
(By Associated Press.)
New Haven, Conn., March 5.—Amer
ican colleges are not as democratic as
is the wont of collegians to boast, ac-
1 cording to Dr. Edwin E. Slosson of the
Columbia School of Journalism, a
speaker at the meeting of the conven
tion of the Religious Education Asso
ciation here today.
Almost every college man, he said,
boasts of the “unique democratic spir
it" of his alma mater. "But he is only
comparing condition* with those of
aristocracy in the outside world, based
on money and family,—entirely for
getful of the collegiate aristoracy that
has been substutited by drawing the
line between Sophomores and Fresh
men, Grpeks and Barbarians, class
ical and scientific stulents.
"Who indeed", the speaker asked
“would suspect that the universities
had any intention to inculcate a spirit
of democracy when he sees the aca
demic processions file through the
Gothic hall robed in the custume of
the medieval student guild and ar
ranged in hierarchal order in strict
accordance .with a system of traditio
nal, artificial, and, in large part fic
titious honorific distinctions.”

To build the panama canal re
quired the labor of some fifty thousand
men. To induce these men to go to Pa
nama, to stay there, to work there and
i to work efficiently was no light under-
: taking. As the chapter on the Com-
misary in “The Panama Canal” by
Frederic J. HasJdn, says:
"Health was promised them by the
most efficient sanitary organization
that ever battled with disease. Wealth
was promised them, relatively speak
ing, in the form of wages and salaries
much higher than they could obtain at
homo for the same work. But health
and wealth, much desired and much
prized as they are, cannot of them
selves compensate for transplanting a
man to an alien shore and an alien at
mosphere, especially if that shore be
tropic and that atmosphere be hot
There must also be comfort.”
The story of the work of the eora-
, missary department at Panama, as
L outline in Mr. Has kin’s book, is por-
. haps the most wonderful of all Hie

hook that should be in every Ameri

London, March 5.—A treaty be
tween England and Germany may be
signed before Easter. Diplomats have
been at work for years with a view to
clearing some of the difference which
have kept the two empires apart and
they expect they will accomplish this
to a great extent in the proposed
new treaty. It will deal particularly
with the interest of the two countries
in Africa and posibilities that might
arise should the Poitugese colonies in
Africa “come into the market.”
There is already an Anglo-German
Treaty dealing with the Portugese col
onies, which will be revised by the
new one. Under the old treaty, signed
1898, England and Germany, anticipat
ing that Potugal might be disposed to
part with her colonies, and wishing to
avoid conflict over them entered into
agreement by which Germany was
to obtain the greater part of Angola
(Portugese West Africa) and England
was to have Mazambique. The new
treaty, in place of this division, sets
up spheres of influence, Germany to
acquire the sole right of economic pen
etration in Angola, while England will
claim the same right in Mozambique.
More important for the development
of Africa, are the clauses dealing with
railway constiuetion, Germany has
long dreamed of connecting German
East Africa and the Atlantic coast of
Angola by means of a trans-con
tinental railway that would tap the
copper and zinc hearing regions of
the Katanga district of the Congo, and
to supply fior Central Africa in gener-

The understanding also will include
the now agreement as to the Bagdad

scheme has been given up in return for
exclusive predominance in the Persian
Gulf. As announced by Sir Edward
Grey the arrangement is that the
terminuus of the railway should be
Basra and that the prolongation if
any, beyond that point should be sub
ject to British consent. In return
Groat Britain declares herself “disin
terested” in the section between Basra
and Bagdad, but will be represent
ed on the board of the railway by two
directors so as to guard against

advantage. England’s interest as re

Y OU don’t have to be a mechanic to know how ball bear
ings decrease friction and prolong the life of machines.
You will find them on almost every kind of machinery
where it is desired to secure the greatest efficiency with the
least wear and tear.
When it comes to typewriters, only one company—The
L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter Company—has made use of
this principle. In the three places where there is continuous
motion; where, in fact, there is 98 per cent, of the motion—
the typebar joints, the segment shift, and the carriage return,
there arc ball bearings. *
They give ease of operation and durability. The tonch is
lighter, the capital shift works easier, and the carriage is
returned easier.
If it isn’t ball bearing, it isn't at. L. C. Smith & Bros.
