THE XKW ORDER OF THINGS.
: There will be those whose devotion
to party labels Is blind and who are
equally blind whtn It comes to ob
serving fundamental democratic party
principle who lll utter words of pro
test against the political conduct ot
John Purroy Mitchell whom President i
Wilson has chosen collector of the
Vort of New York.
It Is reported that Mr. Mitehe'J will
be a fusion candidate tor mayor of
Nw York and that he has rejected
the Tammany nomination for mayor
wikh is considered tantamount to "re
fusing the democratic nomination.
I'nless we mistake President Wil
son he will not discourage Mr. Mitch
ell In his determination. If we mistake
not. President Wilson will be more
likely to recommend non-partisan than
, -partisan manipulation of New York or
any other municipality.
Such is the new order of things. Be
it g a democrat in this day and age
means more than to wear a party la
bel. It means more than to keep up
..local struggle to force local party
advantage at the expense cf party
principle.

them, are advocating the short ballot,!
encouraging non-partisan municipal!

Ing davotion to great fundament,

It is well. .
LINO AS AMDAS5ADOR DE FACTO TO
. MEXICO.
Speaking of the appointment of for
mer Governor Lind of Minnesota to
act as ambassador de facto to Mexico,
the Chicago Tribune makes this ridi
culous assertion:
t
The fact that Mr. Lind was an
"original Bryan man" may have
weight w ith the secretary of state,
but it in no way qualifies him to
act in the difficult and delicate
office to which he has been assign
ed. Justice to Secretary Bryan
prompts the belief that he had
sounder grounds for bis choice.
But the nation,' in so critical a
juncture, would like to know what
they are.
If former Governor Lind were an
"original Rocsevelt man," the Tribune
would perhaps be prompted to accept
that as sufficient proof of qualifica
tion for any task from the taming of
a Mexican resolution to the slaughter,
single handed and alone, of all the
wild beasts in South Africa.
The Tribune says the fact that
Governor Lind was a Bryan advocate
"la no way qualifies him." That it
stopped there and didn't declare that
it disqualified him was indeed gener
ous. The fact that former Governor Lind
Is an "original Bryan man" will tend
to popularize Lis selection for this
diplomatic task. That gives proof of
earnest cooperation with the secre
tary of state, sincere tympathy witji
President Wilson, desire to do that
which the administration is seeking to
do bring order out of chaos by ap
peal to patriotic impulses and by di
rectinj the dynamic forces of public"
sentiment to a situation brought about
by privilege, oppression and blood red
with revolution. '
This is no time to criticize. Gover
nor Llud has been selected for this
delicate task. Back of him and the
administration there should "be unit
ed public sentiment with no petty dis
plays of political or party prejudice.
WATCH SI I'PLV AJtD EJDI CATIOX.
President Joe Cook of the Mississ
ippi Normal college, beiioves that the
first step in the education of women
in the country should be the elimina
tion of needless farm drudgery. No
nutter how good the rural school may
te, he declares, it can not help per
manently in making life in the coun
try attractive unless there goes with
it the movement to lighten the lubor
of women on the farm.
The water supply In particular
rouses President Cook's Indignation.
He is convinced that as much as nine-
tenths of the drudgery of women on
the farm is due to antiquated meth
ods of handling tho water supply.
Here is the way he states the case in
a bulletin of tha United States bureau
of education:
"The petting of the water from the
source to tho point of application re
jqu'res mere manual labor than any
cthr item of housekeeping. The wat
tr for the kitchen has to be lifted from
the well, carried to the kitchen, pour
ed into a kettle, poured out of th.
Jfettle into the dishpnn. and from the
difhpan out of doors. This makes ix
times the water is handled; and a
bucket of water containing 2 gallons,
with the containing vessel, wi'l weigh
20 pounds. When this is handled six
times, tho total lifting is 120 pounds.
The cooking of three meals a day on
a nearer allowance of water will
necessitate ten buckets, which will
make the rooking alone 1,200 pounds
of lifting per day. When to this is
added the water necessary for bath
ing, scrubbing, and the weekly wash,
it will eas'ty bring the lift per day up
to a ton; and the lifting of a ton a day
will take the elasticity out of a wom
an's step, the bloom out of her cheek
and the enjoyment from her soul."
To eliminate this item of drudgery
is easy, according to President Cook.
All that Is necessary is for the farm
er to realize that the farm is also the
heir to modern invention: "An iso
lated farm can be supplied with a sys
tem of waterworks for an outlay of
about J250: Pump. 25; gasoline en
gine, $40; tank, $20; bathtub, 20;
commode,, $20; kitchen sink, $4;
basin, $4; COO feet of pipe, $40; valves
end installation, $75. These figures
are for first-class porcelain-lined fix
tures; cheaper fixtures can be had.
Such a system, if intelligently and
compactly planned, will not only sup
ply all of the household needs, but
will supply practically all the farm
needs besides."
FOREST NOTES
II
A Russian scientist claims to have
discovered an inoculation for use
against forest insects.
There are nearly 6,000 professional
foresters in Germany who are associ
ated with various technical societies.
The University of Washington has
secured the use of two sections of
land in the Snoqualmle national for
est in connection with its forestry
courses.
A tool used to fight fires on the Call
fornla forests combines a rake, spade
and hoe. Jt is compact, so that it can
be carried on horseback, and weighs
less than 6 1-2 pounds.
In an increase la timber sales this
year and in a decrease in receipts
from timber trespass as compared
with last year, national forest officers
see a growing use of the forests and
respect for the federal forest policy.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MEXICO
(Boston Advertiser.) .
It is a pity that Ambassador Wilson,
who has been In the midst of things
In Mexico, has not a better and clear
er insight into the situation there. As
a matter of fact, a good many of the
things which have been quoted as :
having been said by him. since his re
turn from Mexico are distinctly un
true, in the opinion of some Ameri
cans who have lived long in Mexico,
and who are as fully in touch with the
crisis there as Ambassador Wilson has
been.
The American ambassador takes
much credit to himself for the part
which he played In affairs during the
plot against Madero. We regret
that other Americans In Mexico do
not feel that way. He takes credit to
himself for "reconciling" Diaz and
Madero. Diaz and Madero were recon
ciled long before Madero was unseat
ed, and while Huerta was engaged in
plotting the downfall of Madero. If
Wilson was so utterly blind that he
does not reccgnize to this day the
double part which Huerta played, he
knows less than any other American
of experience who was in the city
during tha revolution. If he does un
derstand the traitorous pact between
Diaz and Huerta, why does he make
such pretensions as to hia own part
in tbe plot?
To say that Wilson's utterances,
since his return to this country, have
astounded most of the refugee' Amer
icans now in this country, is to put it
rather mildly. If the American am
bassador is to be believed, he still has
a very distorted view of the real situ
ation In the sister republic to the
south.
Americans who have learned what
emphatic dissent to the ambassador's
published statements prevails among
the great body of refugees who are
FOR CASTRO'S BENEFIT
(New York World.)
For the information of Cipriano Cas
tro, who is said to have landed in
Venezuela and organized a revolt,
these words from President Wilson's
statement of his policy toward Latin
America on the 11th of March should
be given wide circulation:

BUFFALO HERD
The birth of 10 calves In the buffalo
herd maintained by the government on
the Wichita national forest and game
refuge, near Lawton, Okla., has been
reported by the game warden in
charge. The herd now contains a
total of 48 head of full blooded buf
falo, or, more properly, bison, of
which 27 are males and 21 females. All
of the animals are in splendid condi
tion. In 1907 the American Bison society
donated to the federal goyernment a
nucleus herd of 15 animals which had
been bred and reared in the New York
Zoological park. The animals were
transported to the Wichita national
forest which Is also a game refuge and
placed under the care of the forest
service. They readily adapted them
selves to their new habitat, but the
area upon which they were placed was
within the zone affected by the Texas
fever tick and during the two or three
years following their transfer only
the constant care and watchfulness of
the forest officers prevented the com
plete loss of the herd.
The animals were examined almost
daily to determine whether they had
become infested with Texa3 fever
tick3 and were placed In specially de-

familiar with Mexican affairs, may
well ask: "What's the . matter with
Wilson?"
For one thing, the America ambas
sador does not get in touch nor keep
I !n touch with popular sntiment in
Mexico, in our opinion. He is merely
echoing the opinions of Mexican poll
Uclans, and the political class in Mex
ico do not represent public opinion
whatsoever. They merely ; voice and
echo the views of their own class.
Probably 90 per cent of the Mexi
can politicians belong to the notary
class. The Mexican notary Is differ
ent In functions and influence from
the American lawyer. The Mexican
notary is hated -by the common peo
ple, and even by the educated class
of citizens, but he is also feared. The
machinery of local justice is largely
in his hands. Ha Knows the family
secrets of the whole community. He
is in a position to do much harm to
any one whom he dislikes. He occu
pies a place which combines the func
tion of the lawyer, the police inspec
tor and the police court judge.
When the present congress was
elected, the notaries were generally
able to bring about their own elec
tion to congress, by threats, bribes and
promises. They have Bhown little re
gard for public opinion, since they
were first put Into the new congress.
They have been working for their own
interests, first, last and all the time.
Ambassador Wilson undoubtedly
echoes the cpinlons of this class of
the Mexican people; bdt when he pre
tends to believe that their views hav
any direct connection wifh popular
Bentiment throughout the republic, he
errs grievously. These men are work
ing for their own pockets, and they
do not give a hang for public opinion,
nor do they care to know rvhat public
opinion may be.
sonal Interests and ambition. We are
the friends of peace, but we know that
there can be no lasting or stable peace
in such circumstances."
If General Castro will take notice
of the situation in Mexico he will find
proof in that quarter not only that
this expression was meant, but that
it is likely to be very effective as
against one man's personal Interests
and ambition.
IS INCREASED
signed cages and sprayed with crude
oil at intervals of from 15 to 30 days,
but notwithstanding the extreme pre
cautions which were adopted three of
the animals died. Gradually, however,
the enclosures in which the buffalo
were confined were freed from fever
ticks and there is a possibility that as
the buffalo adapted themselves to
their new environment they became
more or less immune to the disease.
No losses from Texas fever have oc
curred for several years, and the herd
has almost quadrupled in number since
it was established.
The fact that the herd has not in
creased more rapidly is due largely to
the preponderance of male calves. This
characteristic of the buffalo Is so pro
nounced in all of the herds now In
captivity that a cow '.n considered
twice as valuable as a bull.

He is not a man whom the world will

For he daily walks in the lowly ways:
His clothes are poor and his earnings
small.
And the great know naught ot his worth

His beard is gray and his form is bowed.
His name is stranga to the rich and

Down in the dismal places where
Contagion lurks In the murky air.
Where the people are sick and lame and'

Where many are weary and few are kind.
He kneels with those who hae need of

Imparting hope and dispelling fear.
Those who sit where the light is dim
Have learned to eagerly welcome him:
His clothes are poor, but within his eyes
The gleam of faith that is deathless lies;
And little ones lisp the Savior's name
Where scpffers grumbled before he came.
He has taujht the wronged that there

That thfre still is kindness and brother

He has brought them love who wero

He has knelt with those who had blind

And made them hopeful and unafraid.

The Daily Story
ELIZABETH'S PRIDE BY CLARISSA MACKIE.
Copyrighted, 1913. by Asaoclatel Literary Bureau.
Elizabeth heard the motorcar crunch f -
on tbe drive, but she would not part
the curtains to see If Andrew Gaylord j
had accompanied her brother home j
--from the ball game. The color left her !
cheeks as she listened with bated
breath for the sound of their voices
as the car slowed down. The motor
throbbed noisily for a moment and
then swept on around, to the garage,
and she heard her brother's step in the
ball and the sound of his deep voice',
but there was no other.
Elizabeth felt the color rushing back
to her cheeks as the doorknob rattled,
and she bent over her book la appar
ent absorption when the door opened
breezily and Tom came in, big and
brown and excited.
"Rah. rah. rah, for the other fellows:
he grinned sheepishly. "Licked to
smithereens, Beth!" He flung himself
into an opposite chair and looked at
her with brotherly affection.
"What was the scoe, Tom?" asked
Elizabeth as she carefully marked a
place in her book and laid the volume
on the table.
"Twelve to nothing." returned Tom
Trescott grimly.
"I suppose father was delighted?"
"Tickled to pieces nil the way home.
That's the worst of my choosing to
go to Redtield instead of father's alma
mnter. Redfie'.d's losing regularly to
Bluestone. and father certainly does
hammer it iuto me."
"It will do you a lot of good. Tom,"
teased his sister. "You've been so con
ceited over RedfleUl."
"Good reason, too. though I don't
suppose 1 would ever have gone there
If Andy Gaylord hadu't persuaded

i'liAKIIED.
BCT
me." He stopped abruptly and looked
away from his sister's sensitive faoe.
"Mr. Gaylord decided not to attend
the game, then?" asked Elizabeth In a
curious, repressed tone.
"Ob. he went with us, but we net
hi m down nt the station, and he's gone
uu home," returned Tom with assumed
carelessness.
"Homo?" echoed Elizabeth, sitting
very rigid and white. "You mean he
has gone to to Chicago?" '
"Yes. He sent farewells to you and
mother. Father and I tried to per
suade him to remain over Sunday, but
he said ho felt the call and that be bet
ter start in at his shop at once. He said
something about a telegram and im
portant business, but be had1 so many
excuses lhat I became suspicious and
told him he could go along just on the
plain fact that he wanted to, and he
seemed relieved and went. I'm dis
appointed in Andy Gaylord," he ended
with a sly look at his sister.
"In what way?" she asked quickly.
"Oh, he Isn't a sport! What in thun
deration does he want to throw over
his uncle's fortune and all the good
times he could have with it and go
and trind in a machine shop? I don't
wonder his uncle hu cut him off. I
would do the same, only you know.
Beth. I really believe at the bottom of
my heart that Andy's on the right
track." Tom leaned forward and spoke
confidentially.
"In what way?" inquired Elizabeth
cohllr.
"Why. he says it's up to some of us
chaps who have the education to work
in with the laboring masses, who have
not had our advantages, and help place
organized labor on an eual fighting
ground with organized capital. Ile'a
learning the machinist's trade In tbe
Falcon shops." .
"I know it." returned Elizabeth
crisply. "Why should bis uncle ob
ject?" "n!s uncle. Samuel Gaylord. is on
of the important units of organized
capital that's why! He considers that
Andy Is a traitor to the family standards-
The Gayiords pride themselves
en their white hands, and machinery
is greasy, you know, sis." Torn was
watching her keenly.
"So I told Andrew Gaylord," she
flashed through sudden and unexpect
ed tears.
"Beth Prescott," gasped Tom, aghast,
"yon told Andy that? You allowed
him to think that 70a were ashamed
of knowing him because be was giv
ing himself to a great cause? I'm
ashamed of you!"
Elizabeth arose and walked toward
the door. Her fair face was flushed,
and she held her bead proudly aloft.
"That Is what I told Andy Gaylord."
she reaffirmed distinctly. "1 told him
1 could never become the wife of a
mere mechanic; that I knew I should
shudder at the very contact of his
blackened snd greasy hands. . . I said
nil that and much more, for I thought
he would give up the idea and return
with you from the game, and and now
without glvlns me an opportunity to
talk It over further with him be has
suddenly left for Chicago." Her volca
teroke. and she fumbled for th door
knob. "Give up the idea, Beth, dear! You
don't know Andy Gaylord." protested
Tom. coming hastily tovrard her. but '
Elizabeth, hurt and sensitive from the
wounds she had herself wrought,
slipped through the door and went to
her room.
The Trescotts were very tender with
her after that, for they knew that their
only daughter had given her heart to
Tom's classmate, but the months went
by. and Elisabeth grew like her old
self, and only her mother knew that
the old wouud was unhealed beneath
her indifferent exterior.
Andrew Gaylord's name was rarely
mentioned, and then only in the most
casual way. but Elizabeth learned that
he was still pursuing the course ha had
mapped out and that his rich nncle
had recently died and left his great
wealth to an impecunious distant rela
tive, who was quite willing to keep
his hands cleau from toil.
Two years afterward Elizabeth was
visiting a school friend In Cleveland.
It was early in September, and the
following day would be the oue dedi
cated to labor. There was to be a
great street parade, and Ruth Daltoa's
father, a prominent newspaper man,
was deeply interested in the project.
"If you girls want to see 18.000 work
Ingmeu on parade, come down to the
Magnet office and you can have a win
dow all to yourselves. I know Ruth
is a little democrat How about you.
Miss Elizabeth?"
"I would like to see the parade, Mr.
Dalton," she said, coloring faintly.
It was a bright, hot Monday, and the
streets were soon tilled with a restless
crowd of onlookers. The two glrU
went down to the Magnet office In the
Daltons' automobile, aud when it drew
up nt the curb Mr. Daltou hurried
forth to meet them.
"You will have to stand on the curb
after all," he said. "The crowd is so
dense here that ic is hnnossible to see
well ,from our ground Boor windows.
If you'd rather not I'll tike you down
to an office in the Tower building."
"Let us stand here," cried Ruth, aud
as Elizabeth added her plea Mr. Dal
ton took his place beside them and
gave them some idea of tho magnitude
of the organization which was about
to pass before them. The girls became
deeply interested, and when the first
notes of the band sounded "in the dis
tance Elizabeth's heart fluttered curi
ously. She told herself that tbe next
best thing to seeing Andy Gaylord
once more would be to observe the
passing of the trades to which be bad
apprenticed himself. She would feel
iu closer touch to him after that, for
her pride had been melted in the
scorching bent of a love she could not
cast out.
Division after division jmssed. and as
Elizabeth watched thetn she admitted
that thousands of these men looked as
intelligent and carried themselves with
as much grace and dignity as many
men in her fashionable set at home.
If Andy Gaylord had choten to be
come one of them, to throw himself
into the ranks of a great urmy where
brainy leaders were needed, why
"Here come the men from the Fal
con shop In Chicago," remarked Mr.
Dalton carelessly, and Elizabeth caught
her breath as a line of men swept
down the street.
Her eager eyes scanned the faces of
the men ns they passed by In n waver
ing Hue. Then, all nt once, tbe whole
world seemed to turn upside down and
tbe faces to dance In a gray mist.
Then the mist cleared away, and tbe
faces were passing, set steadily abend,
nil save one that of the man on the
end of the line nearest the curbstone.
Andy Gaylord's brown eyes were
gazing Incredulously, wistfully, Into
