THE WAY TO BRINOh PEACE. President Wilson is doubtless mak ing an earnest effort to bring about peace in Mexico but it is hard to see how any permanent peace can result from his plan even though the media tion scheme of the South American en voys pans out to expectations. The truth of the matter is that Mexico will never have peace if left to its own re sources. Its people are not capable of self government any more than are children or savages. An iron hand and an iron will might, if backed by the world powers, keep peace in Mex ico for a time but it would be only for a time because at the first sign of failing strength or popularity on the part of the ruler, he would be assassinated and a new regime would be ushered in to the accompaniment of crackling rifles and the clashing of swords. In Mexico, a land blessed with fertile fields and wonderful natural re sources, such as flowing oil wells, fab iously rich mines and vast fields and forests, there are some sixteen million of people. A very small per cent of these can read and write the rest are ignorant, shiftless, ambitionless, craf ty, cunning and cruel peoples of vari ous ancestral stock but mostly In dians or of mixed blood. It is to be seriously doubted if a tenth of the people in Mexico knew that there is any Issue between government fac tions—most of them look upon rebels and federals alike as mere bandits and plunderers, which in truth they are to a great extent. The sad pert of It is that the rebel lions that keep the country torn up are not movements by the people but are promoted by some ambitious leader who looks upon the sword as the quick est and surest way of acquiring wealth and power. Huerta's soldiers almost to a man are hired assassins or luckless individuals who were forc ed Into service against their will. In the prison at Vera Cruz some three or four hundred men were found who had been imprisoned on no charge whatever and who were being held un til their promise was secured to serve in the army of the dictator. Many of the rebels are fighting from choice some because they look upon fighting as their life work for they have been at it all their life, some because they see a chance to secure plunder, some because they want to be avenged for wrongs done them by Huerta's sol diers, and a very few because they believe their course to he one of patriotism. Between the two factions there is really little to chose. Whichever one wins now, the other or some new faction will fight In a year from now and the conqueror then will have an other battle on hand thereafter. In the meantime the splendid land of Mexico will be despoiled, the enor mous investments of Americans and Buropeans will be lost, the productive power of the country will be wasted to the world and there will be constant turmoil to the south that will keep our own country in a disordered state, and keep the canal zone in which Americans have invested four hun dred millions of dollars and several thousands of lives, in constant danger. There is a sure way to stop all this: a way that will make Mexico a safe place to live, a good neighbor to have and a factor in the world's prosperity. The answer Is "intervention." 41 T&* & 4 be willing to undertake the task but,In the Monroe doctrine prohibits them.' It therefore devolves upon the United States and this country is the one that should step In and restore peace and prosperity to bleeding Mexico. It is true that such a course will cost lives and money, but the present course of "watchful waiting" has also cost lives and money though it has certainly been justified for it has permitted the Mexicans themselves to demonstrate to t'ne satisfaction of the whole world their utter incapability to govern them selves. Peace can come to Mexico and to the United States only through the medium of war. -,••.• w._4k| and at noon a troop of horse, ers in kilts escorted the .... 1 maVIInn nr U/oll I worn shiny by the urchins of Wall street who have tried to climb up to touch the bronze hand of the father of the country.

TO EXPERIMENT WITH MINE FIRES. The new half-million dollar experi ment station for the bureau of mines now about to be constructed in Pitts burgh, Pa., by the United States gov ernment, has several unique features. The buildings which will constitute the experiment station of the bureau will form part of a group of edifices devoted to educational purposes. On one side, the bureau's buildings will face the structures of the Carnegie School of Technology. On another side is the Carnegie Institute, in which are the art gallery, museum and li brary. Nearby are the buildings of the University of Pittsburgh. The site consists of nearly twelve acres of land. The group consists of. three main buildings facing Forbes street. Between the main group and the power and fuel group will be the en trance to a series of mine shafts. One of these will be used as an elevator to carry heavy material and passen gers from the lower level to the upper another will be for tests of hoisting ropes and similar mining appliances another will be an entrance to tun nels extending under the buildings and in which mining experiments, such as fighting mine fires, will be con ducted.—The Engineering and Mining Journal.

"There was once a little rabbit named Spot He was a little gray rabbit Tou see, over one eye he had a little round white spot, which 'was the only pprt of him not gray, so that when tie was a wee bunny he bad been given tbe name of Spot by his family. "Now, Spot was a great traveler His sisters and brothers had moved to other parts of tbe country, and be was all by himself.

From outward^ appearances it v^as most delightful. Alas, though, he did not know that thert* was near by a dog. This dog had the reputatiou of being very fond of «-hnn, ing rabbits.

"It dldot take tbe dog long to find out that Spot bad moved to the neigh borhood. "Tbe next morning, bright and early, tbe dog was up. However. 8pot wa» up still earlier. He had climbed to tbe top of a hill where be bad seen tome very fine clorer sproutiDg above tbe ground. "Suddenly Spot saw the dog starting to run up the bill. Near by Spot saw a muddy mound. He rushed for It. nnd before the dog had time to get up tbe hill, for it was a long, steep one. Spot had burrowed into the mud and patted the part over with his paw where he had got through it, and there be wns safe and sound inside tbe mud ball. "When tbe dog got to the top of the hill be could see no sign of the ftb* bit. He looked everywhere. Of course it wns Hllgbtly hot Inside the mud ball, but tbe rabbit had one very tiny nir hole. And be felt safe too. The doc thought be smelt something like a bunny near the muddy monnd, but be saw no sign of tbe rabbit Tbe little Spot who bad traveled so Uiueb, was too clever for the dog, and after tbe dog wandered away, disgusted and dis appointed. little 8pot got out of bis biding place, through which even tbe dug couldn't sniff at bim. and laughed hard all by blmself.
