CASTRO TO THE FORE AGAIN.
Revolutionists are having such a high
old time of it in Mexico, Portugal
and other more or less disturbed coun
tries that the revolutionary spirit
is flaming forth in other places and
imong other ambitious and designing
men. that intimate acquaintance of
newspaper readers, Col. Cip Castro,
has got the fever and is threatening
to net In the sDOtheht atram. What
seems to be well authenticated informa
tion comes from Venezuela that Castro
is about to make an invasion of his
former country with the purpose of
again establishing himself at the head
of its affairs. Castro is a picturesque
character and the progress of his little
revolution will be watched with interest
all over the Western hemisphere and
to some extent, on the other side.
THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.
Facts are said to be stubborn things.
They are also elusive. So often they
are confused with opinions and opinions
are so often colored by desires that the
real facts of a given situation are ex
ceedingly hard to get. That is the dim
culty in connection with the problem
of whether this country ought to
recognize the Huerta regime in Mexico
Ambassador Wilson says that General
Huerta has the country pretty well
under his thumb. President Wilson has
advices from other sources that the
ambassador is mistaken and that Huerta
is in real authority only in a small
portion of the stricken country.
It is suggestive of conditions prior
to an election. Every man foresees
the result as agreeable to the way he
thinks it ought to be and just what
the people are thinking is not accurately
ascertained until the votes are counted
Ambassador Wilson is not an un
biased observer. He has laid down
a course of action for this government
and is so wedded to it as to be anything
but unprejudiced. It is said that he'
has influenced a considerable proportion
of the members of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate but President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan are opposed
to his recommendations and it is
unlikely that they will change their
views.
There is a strong feeling too, that
much of the alleged sentiment in favor
of some action of some sort by this
government in post haste has been
manufactured by those who want to
see the Huerta administration bolstered
up by recognition from the United
States.
FIN LEY TO LEAVE THE SOUTH
ERN?
The Norfolk Ledger-Dis patch carries
an item stating that President W. W
Finley will resign his position with the
Southern Railway Company and be
come President either of the Southern
Pacific or the Union Pacific. We do
not see the item in any of the other
papers and as yet it lacks confirmation.
Yet the resignation of President Mel-
len of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford, and the choice of Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific, to succeed Mellen, has made a
vacancy which is liable to result in
a good many changes of executives
before the railroad situation gets back
to normal again.
There is good reason to believe
that Mr. Finley would stand a good
chance for promotion to the presidency
of any of the great railroad systems.
He has made good as the head of the
Southern and along the very lines
at which some railroad presidents
signally fail, that is hi making the road
popular with the people.
It is said that whea Mr. Finley
leaves the Southern, E. H. Coapman,
who a few years ago was a division
superintendent, will succeed him. The
railroad world sees men rise with
meteoric speed and few of them have
gone upward with greater rapidity
than General Manager Coapman of
the Southern.
The Durham Herald says that it is
too early yet to take it for granted
that Mr. Justice is the only man with
nerve enough to go after the job
now held by Senator Overman. So
it is. But it Is not too early to predict
that Justice will go after it with about
as much effectiveness as anybody else.

MR.
BRYAN'S SERVICES AS A
LECTURER.
I regret the pessimistic views of The
World on Mr. Bryan's Chautauqua lec
tures. I can understand the views of
some papers which are opposed to Mr.
Bryan's talking or even breathing.
Bryan is on a vacation and should be
permitted to enjoy himself as he sees
fit. If he chooses to make a few honest
dollars let us rejoice that the money
does not come from "invisible" gov
ernment, which would gladly pay him
more than he can make from his lec
tures if he would sell his splendid tal
ents to the privileged classes instead of
devoting them to the service of the
people.
On the lecture platform Mr. Bryan
is working the progressive Democratic
principles in government,, and it is due
to him and to others like him that the
American people are being delivered
from the fetish of protection, the buga
boo of war and the infernal war spirit
Many of us look on Bryan as a school
master and teachers are never popular
with bad boys or dunces, but even the
great Theodore has imbibed some of
Bryan's ideas, which used to be called
nostrums. Now some of these ideas are
laws, notably the direct election of
Senators by the people; some are being
enacted into law. The income tax abd
the low tariff and some other good
things are to come, such as nation-wide
direct nominations, the initiative and
referendum, etc.
Let Bryan keep on talking. We can
not set a fair valuation on his services
either as Secretary of State or os lec
turer, but every honest dollar he ac
quires will please every honest man.
John J. Egan in New York World.
A FIRST CLASS FIGHTING MA
CHINE.
The Democrats in Congress will have
to be given credit for knowing their
mind for knowingjwhat they want
and going after it. They propose
to reduce the tariff and change the
currency system and they are going
to do both with the least possible
delay. Here and there a recalcitrant
is found, but as a whole the party
in Congress is singularly united. That
is a lesson which the Democrats learned
from the Republicans before the latter
themselves got so badly divided that
they lost their effectiveness as an or
ganization. The Democratic party in
Congress as now organized and con
trolled is a first-class fighting machine.
Eight dead and three others dying
is the record of a motorcycle accident
in Cincinnati The littlest machine
is not always the least dangerous.
The motorcycle apparently is getting
to be a close second for the automobile
in hastening folks from this world into
the next.
WARM WEATHER NOW,
HARVESTS LATER.
BIG
This is exceeding warm weather, but
there would be little reason to be sorry
for it were it not for the fact that
excessive heat means so much sickness
and so many deaths in the large cities.
Heat at this time of year means
for the farms, rapidly growing and
maturing crops and they are needed
to feed andclothe the multitude. Pros
pects are getting brighter alt the time
and it is said that one of the reasons
the Secretary of the Treasury issued
his order turning government money
into the South and West was his belief,
based on reports from the two sections
named, that large harvests are now
practically assured.
HAVE NO TIME TO WEEP.
There's a new woman writer whose
work is coming somewhat into vogue
at present. She writes a lot of common
sense, practical kind of stuff and that
is what the generality of folks most
appreciate nowadays. In a recent
article she takes as her text the old
saying: "Men must work and women
must weep."
This view of women belonged to
another age. It makes woman a help
less being instead of the active, helpful
being she ordinarily is now. Miss
or Mrs. Wooley, has thus taken a
subject which opens up a big field of
thought, for the activities of the woman
who works instead of weeps are nura
erous and varied. But she makes the
most of a fins subject. "Women used
to weep a great deal more than they do
now," she says, "but as a matter of
fact the old saying ought to be changed
to read, 'Men must work and women
must work also if the children are to
be brought up decently.' " The woman
who spends her time either in weeping
or laughing is not the woman of to
day. Mother works as hard as father
and generally harder to make the family
buckle and tongue meet. Her work
is almost as often outside of as in the
home. Woman measure a nearly
up to her duty as man and a little
nearer.
A CABINET OF LIVE ONES.
There is one characteristic of the
member of President Wilton's cabinet.
They are men of action. Perhaps now
and then they make mistakes. But
no reasonable parson expects perfection
in a public servant. Theodore Roose-
relt has said a lot of thing that won't
island close scrutiny but he was right
J when he said that the only person
I who never makes a mistake U the
:k to the
official advisers. They are as a rule,
live wires. There's our own Josephus.
The New York Sun, an independent
newspaper with strong Republican lean
ings, says that the Secretary of the Navy
is one of the ablest and most capable
of the men who have held this office.
Postmaster-General Burleson is also
a man of initiative and effectiveness.
Attorney -General Mc Reynolds appears
to have made a serious error of judg
ment in permitting the postponement
of the Diggs-Caminetti white slave
cases in San Francisco, but in the
enforcement of the anti-trust laws
and in the general work of his depart
ment he has been diligent and resource
ful. Secretary of War Garrison won
general praise for the promptness and
energy with which he toot hold of
and handled the flood situation in
Ohio and Indiana some months ago,
and his foresight and habits of thor
oughness had a good deal to do with the
successful handling of the great re
union of the Blue and the Gray at
Gettysburg early last month. Mr.
Bryan, as a Secretary of State, is a big
man in a big place and despite his
temporary Incursions into the Chau
tauqua field he has made and is making
a consummate success in handling
our foreign relations.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
whose activities really suggested this
article, is fully abreast of the great
men with whom he is immediately
associated. He has applied progressive
ideas to the financial affairs of the
nation and while the opposition to his
way of running the Tresury Department
has been very decided and vigorous
in some quarters, he has made it clear
that he knows what he is doing, at
the same time giving the impression
that he is honestly and discerningly
trying to accomplish the greatest good
for the greatest number. His recent
decision to deposit twenty-five to
fifty millions of dollars in the banks
of the West and South to facilitate
the movement of the crops will be wel
comed in the two sections of the
country affected. His decision involves
something: that has never been done
by the government before, namily
the acceptance of primef commercial
paper as security for deposits, but this
administration, from the President
down, is not afraid of breaking prece
dents. Secretary of Commerce Redfield
Secretary of the Interior Lane, Secre
tary of Agriculture Houston and Sec
retary of Labor Wilson all have given
evidence of being public officials of the
best type men who believe and show
by their deeds that they so believe
that public office is a public trust
and not a private snap.
The firmness of the Administration
in regard to the recognition of Mexico
is having a helpful effect. It certainly
cannot be said that the Huerta govern
ment is being kept in suspense. All
parties in Interest know what they have
to expect at the hands of the President.
New Bern will have to have a
stricter enforcement of its traffic or
dinances or some serious accidents are
sure to happen. It is said that even
the timehonored rule of vehicles
passing to the right is frequently
violated here.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has gone into
bankruptcy. This is a financial trans
action. Morally the woman has been
bankrupt for some years and the fact
that she can be assured of large houses
in New York City to witness her
dancing is by no means a favorable
commentary on the taste of the people
of that city.
