BAKER AND BANDITTI.
It was a certainty that when Secretary of War Baker
blindfolded himself the other day and staggered into revolu
tionary history, his blundering head would’ be bumped by one
or more of the heroic statues about which this republic has
thrown the mantle of love and reverence, and we’ve been wait
ing a few hours to enjoy the spectacle of a sore knot on his
cranium. It’s there.
What possessed the man when he foolishly and falsely un
dertook to compare the rebellious ignoramuses of Mexico with '
the tattered continentals of General Washington’s army of re- "
volutionaries is past the guesswork of intelligent-men. For not
in character, knowledge, aim or circumstance can a true paral- >
lei he drawn. And il is an outrage* upon history and an affront $
to tin* love of freedom for him to endeavor to convince the Am- I
erica.n people that the crimes in Mexico had their counter part •;
in the American revolution. There is a law that is designed to ;i
protect the memory of the decent dead. Mi-. Baker’s remarks %
constitute an attack upon General Washington and’ all of the \
patriots around him. >
Does Baker really want us to think of the heroic Washing- j:
ton and the double-crossing Carranza in the same sentence? i|
Who out of tlie whole Mexican outfit can compare with Benja- ji
min Franklin, i’atrick Henry, .John Hancock, John Adams, Jef :•
ferson, Hamilton and the remainder of that mighty company :•
who laid this republic’s foundations? :j:
It F an absurdity, the device of an unthinking man too j;
eager to < xmse the inexcusable vacillations of a doughty ad j
ministration in dealing with Mexican affairs. Our forefathers 1
wen* not banditti.

REDDER S STORY.
! I •niiaii Kidder is a leading American citizen of long stand
ing with a patriolie love for the square deal. What he says is
worth hearing. Ilis charge that emissaries from the White
11 • mpted to inveigle to the support of President Wilson
the c iman blooded element, which he heretofore has con j
d< nined and affronted, must he accepted as a truthful deserip !
lion of a piece of subterranean chicanery whose exposure is
valuable to the country.
’! he directness of Kidder’s statement is convincing. He
charges that Henry Abies of, New York, representing Senator
Stoii", chairman of the foreign relations committee of the
! nited Stati > senate, called upon him to arrange a conference
with ihe aim ol bringing to Mr, \\ iIson’s support the German
American vote, bidder declined to attend a conference.
Thereupon Senator Stone himself called' Mr. bidder by
telephone and asked as a personal favor that a conference be
held at llie place Abies had suggested—in a Third avenue beer
on den! bidder felt that ho had to attend under the circum
stances. In that beer garden he saw the “spectacle of the
chairman ot the foreign relations committee of the senate gum
-hoeing in a small room of a Third avenue beer garden and bar
b ring for the votes which the president from the platform of
Shadow Pawn and in his speech of acceptance had repudiated.’’
i he conference continued until 3 o’clock in the morning.
Ten days lab r 1 nited States Postmaster General Albert
i’.urleson appeared in New York and arranged, through the edi
tor of the Fatherland, another conference. This bidder refused
to attend. Vicieck did attend it, auu again there was presented j

' )f tin* Slone conference Kidder writes that lie (Stone) “used
all his well know n powers to convince us that the apparent '
anti German policies of the Wilson administration were only
for public consumption, and that privately they were ready to
work hand in glove with the German American leaders.”
It may be important to add to this chapter of hypocrisy
the pretty well established charge that Secretary of State Bryan
assured the Gel man ambassador, when the president was firing ^
indienant notes at Germany, that he really didn’t mean, what he
said that they were “only for public consumption!”
No one can doubt Kidder's story, if he takes into consider •
ation all of the facts that have gone before. Meantime the pro !l
sideiit is behind bis favorite screen, adorned with beautiful 1
sayings of his own machining, susceptible of as many construe- f
tions as a gipsy’s weather forecast. I

I here are times w hen it pays not to have as much money as 1
the other fellow. England has just cast accounts on British t
owned property in enemy countries and enemy-owned property ]
in the United Kingdom. It is found there is a balance of £25,- 1
000,000 in favor of the United Kingdom. That is, the British- t
owned property in enemy countries is £115,000,000, while enemy -
holdings of property in Great Britain amount to £140,000,000.
Now, just start your confiscation of property, says John Bull, 1
and see who gets the worst of it. *

The gasoline pump, officials sayT, has been sucking in the
pockets of consumers as well as in caverns beneath the side
walks. Cheating has taken $500,000 a year out of Illinois alone.
Eighty per cent of dealers are pumping short gallons. ‘‘The
motoiing public is being subjected to regular and continuous
shortages,” says the report. At that, the percentage of hon

Tin- Great Northern railroad is planning to electrify its -
line between Spokane ami Tacoma, using Lake Chelan as a
• source <>i supply for the enormous power required. This is
perhaps the greatest enterprise of its kind yet undertaken. The
Milwaukee railroad has tried the experiment with eminent suc
cess. Greater tonnage is being carried'at less cost and at higher
speed.

The campaign is italicizing the statement sometimes made
that women’s political views are governed largely by their
feelings, and not by their heads. They are after all much like
