In the case of the Mayo broth nra we fall to see where anyone could accuse them of having any motive In doing what they did, other than that of a desire to do something for the good of mankind through the medium of medical research. Their reputa tions and fortunes are made, and be sides they are not in a business that has to be advertised. INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE. The Intelligencer reproduces this morning two essays by graduates of thin year's class at the city high school which tied for honors in the medal contest conducted annually by the Robert E. Lee Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy. Both articles were so good the judges were unable to reach a decis ion ss to which was the better, so recommended to the chapter that both young ladles be awarded medals. Any one who will take the time to rieraue either or both of these articles will And lt both a pleasant a profit able experience. Both are chock-a block with historical facts concerning Anderson County which every resi dent should know. Younger people especially should be urged. to read these articles and become acquainted with the early history of the great county In which they *.lve.

The president's policy as to Mexico la BtlU far from success, but elsewhere lt han produced results of great Im portance. In every other LaUn-Amerl can state it has been accepted as an assurance that this country haa no de signs upon Its neighbors, and that pur power and prestige, instead of being used to the disadvantage of nearby na tions n trouble, will be exerted hope fully and generously in theig behalf. Thanks to Mr. Wilson's high pur poses and plain speech, we are com mitted to three principles as regards Central and South America that-are almost ae far-reaching aa the -Monroe Doctrine. In his dealings with Huerta, the dictator, he made lt clear that t li i -. government woul? not recognize or tolerate thone who seize power to ad vance personal interests and ambitions. In hin Mobile speech he na d that the United States does not covet a foot of soil belonging to any other nation. When he was criticised for not occu pying Mexico, he said that the people of that country are entitled to Bettie their quarrels In their own way, and 'hat. while he refused to Interfere. !>.> would not permit anybody else to do so For these precedents, supported aa they have been by the administration'/; purpose to rectify the wrong done to Colombia at the Isthmus, it bas been easl'y possible for Latin-Americans to see that the great Republic has adopt ed an entirely new code as regards the Western hemisphere. lu place of aggression and suspiolon; We now baye friendship and confidence.

Even:Mfxlcans. contemplating tho Pan-American Conference in session this week nt wsebineton. must per ceive that ii "point? flfce way to duty Aa well as destiny. * for the human wreckage cast up In thc back eddies of the war. No na tion ever took upon ltaelf, so great responsibilities, and yet the task ls being borne with little or-no evi dence of its existence, - while the dally routine of life In America nhown little or no sign of the gov ernment's great activity abroad. This Rolid achievement-of the repub lic affords much material for future study by the statesmen of the world. A Land of No Compromise. (New York World.) The unarmed men that recently pa raded the streets of Vera'Cruze shout ing: "We don't want any more revo lutions; we want work and bread!" expressed a sentiment^raere encour aging than any, otho- t'jot has heed heard in Mexico in years'. Nations do not establish domestic peace, liberty and stability except as In sorrow, if not der.pair. thev learn the value of industry safeguarded and freedom regulated by law. It is one of the mysteries of the Mexican situation that the ruling classes of tbat country are so defi cient In leadership other than the rev olutionary sort. There are many thousands of highly civilized Mexi cans, yet a cut-throat from eome re mote province exerts greater influence upon pubiic affairs than they do. Some of them take refuge In other lauds: others separate and follow riv al chieftains, and hardly one is beard wisely appealing for conciliation, or der and Justice. 'Until somebody or something can reaqh the element and awoken In lt a patriotism that will foreign revenges ; and make sacrifices for the common ; good, the best that Mexico caa hope, for-is a dictatorship. At It Again. (Woree., jr Gazette.) Bx-Gov,. Foss, Massachusetts' politl cai Jumnlog-Jach, now renounces thc Democratic party uniter whose stand ard he called victoriously to port on Beacon bill foi three terms, and wilt seek the Republican nomination for governor on thc sole issue of nation wide prohibition. The "Old doy" baa selected for a platform an Issue that ls. to aay the least, gaining In popularity and were his name now on the ballot he might Increase to some 'extent the 20,000 votes be polled the year he ran for a fourth term. But Mr. Foss will find a republican scrimmage a different nropoBition from u state election, both before and after the votes Sre counted. Keeping Government Alive. (Omaha Bee.) Importance that naturally attaches to . serloun communications between j our government and the nattons of I the world is enhanced at the moment, because the United States ls Just now the one great agency through which the function of government ls kept ?alive In the world. The nations at war have Intrusted their interests to Uncle 8am at all point? where the war Interferes with regular communi cation. This, la effect, means that tbs external business of thc greatest governments Is being transacted by the United States. In addition to this tremendous undertaking In Ute dip lomatic field, tba United State* has voluntarily assumed the lead, In the work of succor aad relief feeding ?and clothing the destitute and caring Exploding a Myth. . (New York World.) What the German ambassador at Washington first gave currency to in the matter of Germany's shipment of munitions to Spain In the Spanish American war has frequently been re peated since without correction. It ls again put forward by a correspondent In the Times as follow?: "They (the (lennans), have for years furnished war material? to all coun tries In time of peace. . They, refused to furnish arms and ammunition to Spam during , tb? Spanish-American war. This ls definitely proved'by the American Ambassador White in hts autobiography. Mr. White represented this country In Berlin during the Span ish -Ameracan war." NO such proof ls to be found in Mr. White's autobiography. As ambassa dor. Mr. White heard that a ship was j leaving port with munitions for Spain. In An excess of zeal which did no cred it to hts knowledge either of German i or international law. he protested, and waa told later that the ship in ques tion carried no munitions. Ambassador White waa then advised by the American state department on two points : That German sale? of mu nitions to Spain would be wholly In ac cord with Internation*! law as assert'' ed by the United States; nevertheless, that lt this waa contrary to German law lt might be well to have the Tact known. Mr. White thereupon mad? a quiet Inquiry and fonnd that German law did not forbid such sales to a belligerent nation. That was tho end of the matter. The American government stood then where it st?nde today on tho subject, tton as the American government then snd Germany stood Uv ft* same peet ana now. ********************** * V ? WIT AND HUMOR. ? ? * ********************** * Planning Ahead. A farmer ilved on a lonely place and eventually a railroad waa run through the district. There wa3 one train a day and it stopped at the farm er's station on signal. * The farmer one day set the signal and the train draw up. But he did not climb aboard. "Well, got on-" shouted tho conduc tor. "Get on. can't ye?" "Excuse me." said the farmer. " I don't want to get on. I only want to say that you are to stop here at thia time tomorrow, as my wife is going to town to do some shopping." A Change of Face. A well-known western senator re cently visited a, barber shop, where the barber, .failing to recognize his patron was very talkative. He ventured on all the timely topics of the day nd although the senator did not apparently enter into the spirit of tlie conversation very keenly, the tonsorial artist's enthusiasm was not visibly dampened. Finally he asked. "Have you ever been in here b* - fore?" "Once." said the senator. "Strenge that I don't recall your face." "It altered greatly in healing." Guess Again! Shronk stopped his motorcar at s desolate crossroads and yelled to a farmer who lay on a cart of fertili ser: '"Hey, Cornsilk ls this tho way to Croydon?" The fermer ralaing himself from the fertilizer in astonishment. "By heck, stranger, how did you know my name was Cornsilk?" he asked. i. "I guessed it," said the motorist. "Then, by beck," said the farmer, as he drove off. "guess your way to Croy don." Arriving at Conclusions. A group of workmen were passing the dinner bour in a political argu ment. An interesting deadlock bsd been reached when one of the men turned to a mate who had remained silent during the whole of the de bat*. " 'Ere, Bill," he said, "you're pretty good at a argyment. Wot's your opinion?" "I ain't goln' to say." said Bill. "I thrashed the matters ont before with Bob J'ones." "Ah," said the other, "and what did you arrive at?" "Ah," said Bill. "Bob. he arrived at ike hospital, and I arrived at the po lice station." The Widow's Offering. A merchant, who had been traveling some months was, on his return.
