THE ELECTION IN MEXICO.
The Mexicans are going ahead
with preparation's for an election
next month. Talk about an elec
tion in Mexico in the immediate
future whose result would be
generally accepted by all factions
may be a solemn pretense, in any
event. Yet it seems certain that
only by Huerta’s elimination as
a candidate can even an approach
to such an election be assured.
While an election with Huerta
out of it might bring in a pres
ident who would be fatally brand
ed in the minds of Mexicans as
“Made in America,” si ill the out
come would convey the whole
some lesson that, in the future,
no government resting on mur
der and violence could got recog
nition from the United States by
virtue merely of a successful
military coup d’etat. It would be
a wholesome lesson because rev
olutions of that character would
be discouraged, not only in Mex
ico but throughout Uatin-Amor
iea.
AMERICANS TURNING BACK.
Recent statistics indicate that
the craze in the Middle West for
emigration to Canada is on the
wane, it has lasted a dozen
years, and in that time from I,
500,000 to e,000,000 Americans
have crossed I lie border line to
make their home under the Brit
ish Hag.
All the) high hopes entertain
ed have not been realized, and
of late there has been a very
general apprehension of the col
lapse of the boom Canada has so
long enjoyed. So some tanners
are treking backward, and the
outward How is diminishing. The
movement is the only one where
Americans have left their own
country in great numbers to he
ro ne citizens id' a foreign coun
try.
The explanation of the situa
tion is simple. Liberal as the
railway policy of the Canadian
government has been, the Cana
dian Northwest lias been ImilL
up in an agricultural way faster
than transportation facilities
could he provided. The farmer
has learned that, it profits little
to raise big crops without acces
sible markets and transportation
facilities. The price of land lias
risen rapidly until the advantag
es offered a few years ago to
homeseekrrs have disappeared.
The American farmers are now
turning their eyes to heller lo
cations and heller opportunities

SECRECY AND THE CURRENCY
BILL.
Members of congress who ob
jected to wluil seems lo have been
wholly unnecessary secrecy in
conned ion with the preparation
of I he currency hill put I heir feel,
on good, solid ground, for public
business is ijot, secret business.
Very many of the problems
which now press and perplex us
owe their. eXfs'tence' tvr the com
mon practice on the. part of pub
-lic men of transacting public
business behind closed doors.
The people have had about all
the secrecy they want'in public
matters.
II is all rigid for t-ho-.,i>re,sir,
dent’s cabinet anil the United
Stales Senate to consider things
of delicate and menacing import
behind closed doors.
But there is no reason why a
tariff law or a currency law
should he framed in secret. Cer
tainly there is no reason why all
members of congress, without re
gard to party obligation or opin
ion one way or the other, should
not have thej fullest possible
knowledge of every detail enter
ing into the making of an im
portant law on any subject.
When public men begin to
speak in whispers and behind
closed doors the people not un
naturally become suspicious and
are likely to ask embarrassing
questions.
■the "foenittcratsn 1nv congress
gainted nothing b^ trying to keep1
Rep'ubl icAns And Mothers' 4iti con
gress from knowing' what man
ner of currency’bill they would
present to the country. Member?
of congress have an equal right
to know what is going on in con
gress. No party can gain any
advantage now by being unfair.
Politics of the unfair kind is a
thing of another time.
The people demand fairness.
They want frankness in the
public service.
Public matters, like Ihe writ
ing of a currency bill, are not
matters for 'secret. delibeValion.

REMODEL COMMON LITIGA
TION.
A society has recently been
organized in Chicago whose
membership is composed of some
three hundred lawyers. The ob
ject of this society is to remod
el and simplify legislation. This
is, to say the least, a worthy un
dertaking. There is no doubt but
that our court practice has be
come involved in technicalities
which hamper procedure and
frustrate the administration of
justice. Prof. Taft, when pres
ident, had much to say concern
ing the delays and technicalities
a'nd dead forms. The new soci
ety will study laws and court pro
cedure from the earliest time and
suggest reforms from the results
and knowledge gained in this
way. The object is a worthy
one and will be met with approv
al, as our courts have conn.* to
bo, not the common, speedy re
course of the people to redress
wrongs, but the tools of tech
nical and unjust dealings.—Den
