The Washington administration considers that the Huerta govern ment was toppling, that natural re sentment was being manifested throughout Mexico after the arrest of the Mexican congress, when at the critical moment the presentation by Sir Lionel Carden of his credentials, onrepudiated by Great Britain, had the effect of morally supporting the Huerta regime. Secretary Bryan’s only comment oh the Mexican situation was to the effect that representations had been made to persuade the federal authori ties in Mexico to give the captured Maderos a fair trial. While Gen. Felix Diaz by no means is regarded with favor by the administration, it •was apparent at the state department that American officials would look with displeasure on any harm befall ing him or any other candidate in the coming election.

It is not creditable to us that the majority of our teachers are so poor ly paid. In one or two States sal aries may average fairly high but in many others they do not. In teach ing, as in other callings, poorly paid services mean poor results. That un der the circumstances teachers are so offleient and so faithful in their duties is to their credit. But it is not reasonable to expect the highest efficiency unless the remuneration is bettered. And It Is the best we should seek for our children in the way of education, and it is their right. ;'5 — ♦ ♦ ♦ President Chosen. At the meeting which waa held at the Farmen Bank and Tract Co.
