THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.
The government of the United
States and the governments of other
countries having ' vital interest in
the affairs of Mexico have adopted
a "waiting attitude” toward the dicta
tor. That the situation is critical
nobody denies. Representatives of
all the nations have informed Gen.
Huerta that they expect him to guard
their homes and offices and the prop
erty of all foreign residents. But thus
far there ahs been no change in the
situation to cause great alarm. The
freely predicted revolt of the army
againstTIuerta has not taken place.
The deputies who dared to express
their own views or those of their
constituents are still imprisoned, but
there is no proof that any of them
has been killed or ill-treated. Our
unofficial envoy, Mr. Lind, seems to
be doing nothing at Vera Cruz, and
our Charge at the capital seems to be
unable to do more. Washington awaits
a reply from the dictator to Presi
dent Wilson’s expression of his dis
approval of his recent acts without
really expecting to receive one.
Irresponsible bauds of bandits ov
errun many of the states, but if the
Constitutionalists under Carranza
have accomplished anything for the
good of Mexico, the news has been
withheld. The constitution is a dead
letter, as it has been many times
since its adoption In 1824, and there
is no national legislature to canvass
a vote if any vote should be cast,
so that the seemingly grave asser
tion that another election will be
held within a fortnight deceives no
body. The complications are so ex
traordinary that there must be a
change before long, and if the change
does not put the Zapatistas, or some
other party which exists only for
pillage, in the ascendency, the law
abiding element miay consider itself
lucky.
But no man can tell what is go
ing to happen in Mexico, except that
the policy of Huerta cannot endure.
There must be forces in Mexico ca
pable of restoring order, they may
be even now at work vigorously.
That they may be able to right their
own wrongs, establish a sound and
legal government, and disarm the
traitors who have brought their fair
country to the verge of ruin is the
prayer of all their friends in other
lands.
A BIG NAME MADE IT PRICELESS.
There has just happened over in
Bavaria one of the queer things that
make "art,” as understood by its
^learned experts, and the standard by
which they judge objects submitted
to their criticism, so highly interest
ing for the barbarians whose one
poor measure of aesthetic value is
expressed when they say, "we know
what we like.” The real connois
seurs apply a different test, or at any
rate their liking for a picture or a
statue seems to have nothing what
ever to do with whether it offends or
delights their eyes.
For observe: Ihere was recently
discovered by somebody mousing
through the old castle of Rosenberg,
near Kronach, an ancient painting
which to the mouser seemed to be
a fine piece of work, and he caused
it to be taken to the local museum
in order to get an authoritative opin
ion of its merit. There, after care
ful inspection, the picture was de
clared to be worthless, and aB such
it was scornfully rejected and thrown
out. On later and more thorough ex
amination, and after digging down
through the accumulated grimes of
neglectful years, ii was discovered
that the worthless picture was a
signed and dated production of Ru
bens. Instantly the Wise Ones who
had proclaimed it haught Realized
that it was a great find—a treasure
to be reverenced by the elect and
price-marked high in the thousands
of dollars.
At such a change of mind as that
the poor creatures who only know
what they like either humbly keep a
mystified silence, or else, if quite lost
to the sense of their own shameful
incapacity as art critic*, they impu
aviiiij w . - ■ — *
ii'acuon of mem can imagine why a
picture is the better tor a signature
or the worse tor lacking it. They
can't see wny a picture is worth keep
ing it Bubens painted it and worth
less it painted by an unknown hand,
and least of all they understand the
willingness ot the experts, by clear
implication, thus to confess -that the
arousing of their enthusiasm and the
(winning of their approval are accom
plished only by great names.
'ihe names in question simply
couldn’t have become great in any
such way as that. One is almost
templed to suspect that the glory
was in the first piace conferred by
the people who only knew what they
*iked, and therefore had no right to
speak at all. But of course tnis sus
picion is sinful and unfounded. Nev
er, never, never shall it find dis
closure here.—Ex.
The death knell of the old-fashion
ed two-step and waltz has been
sounded now that the dancing sea
son lias really commenced. Even as
in days of old there were temples
built to dance the terpsichore, soci
ety today adores the dance, and the
staid matrons who scoffed at the
“rag” are taking a lively interest in
the tango, one-step and castle walk.
They have formed a “tango dancing
class” and are being taught to prance
and caper in real glee instead of the
more staid manner of other days. In
the early days of the Homan Empire, j
dancing was a foremost art, and the I
present day steps are simply deriva
tions of the classic dances. No long
er will the younger set, who some
time ago embraced the intricate gyra
tions of the modern society dances,
go about with fear and trepidation.
It is now quite correct and smart
and society has succumbed to its fas
cinations.— Portland Oregonian.
Striking Street Car Employes Win
Their Contentions Except for
Recognition of Union.
Indianapolis, Nov. 8.—Governor
Ralston has been 'instrumental in ef
fecting a settlement of the streetcar
strike which has interrupted traffic
in this city for more than a w'eek.
The governor forced the officials of
the company to submit their case to
arbitration, wh!ch has resulted in a
partial victory for the striking em
ployes.
The men w'n their demands for bet
ter pay and definite hours of labor,
but dropped the contention for a re
cognition of the union. The settle
ment of the strike on terms which
does not recognize the union fails
to meet the approval of the labor
leaders and it is predicted that it
will result in future trouble. The
leaders assert that the company will
refuse to give employment to those
who took leading parts in the pres
ent strike and will fill their places
with non-union men.
The officials of the company had
refused to submit their case to arbi
tration contending that there Was no
thing to arbitrate out were forced to
recede from their position, as the
sympathy of the citizens generally I
were the employes of the company. J

The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of thd store. Many smail stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their larger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the effectiveness of lie methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
" iziih Edison Mazda Lamps and
Our Lamp Man will advise you liovr to use them
as profitably as thousands of others are using them
throughout the countrv.
