The Law'i Delays.
TIio law's delays ar vexatious,
fOKtly, uncertain, and visually un
neresrary. Many Instances of long
drawn Ian suits are to be ascribed
to defectives Judicial machinery and
artificially stimulated mania for
litigation. Hut no law suit is often
unduly delayed except by the delib
erate design of the lawyers on one
eldo or the other, and tbs complacent
co-operation of the Judge.
The machinery of the courts rest
upon law and constitutions, which
can be changed only with difficulty,
and at beat very slowly. The law
yers and the Judges can change their
dilatory tact Its whenever they want
to. Remember that nearly always
there arc two sides lo a law suit, one
of which wants to hurry up, and tbs
other to go flow.. In ono case tho
lawyer who wants to hurry up Is the
same lawyer who In the other case
wanted to go alow. If the Judges and
tho lawyeis really wanted to speed
up tho wheels of Justice, they could
do It without waiting for the old or
consent of any constitutional amendment.
Is strange that, if that be the rase,
the attorney general should be ao
poorly Informed of the facts as to
feel under necessity of going to the
troublo of bringing suit to get an
explanation. Tho fellows who make
so much of the mote In their
brothers' eyes too often are found,
upon clone Inspection, to have a little
beam In their own crafty optica. Evi

however this little charge of Irregu

Team Work in Politic!.

of pig-skin stars In the democratic
firmament. ''A foot ball team of

llttlo chance against a team com
posed of inferior players who were
coached In team work. It Is thla that
ails the democratic party too many
Individual stars, and too little team
work." Thla demand for better team
work, we are also assured, does not
mean that any democrat shall be re
quired to forego the luxury of think
ing for himself, but unless differ
ences of opinion be threshed out and
harmonized "then disruption and dis

in thla they are not consistent. Re

It la rather coincidental that
letter from Gomes, threatening a re
volt against the Madero regime,
should come to light Just a General
Reyea is arrested at San Antonio
upon the charge of conspiring against
a country with which the United
States ia at peace.. The coincidence
tends to discount Reyes' denials of
all revolutionary plans. It will be
recalled that when the former Dias
array commander fled from Mexico
4urlng tho campaign in which Madero
was elected president, the rumor fled
with him that he had gone to prepare
for a counter revolution and his own
explanation that he fled for refuge
from "personal menace was discred
ited. .
Presumably, trouble on the border
is not permanently disposed of. if
so, the United States is not erring in
keeping troops stationed there. Until
the Madero regime has had time to
prove its ability to cope with condi
tions in Mexico, to maintain peace
with the enemy and satisfy its own
adherents, it will do no harm for tho
United States to keep Its eye on the
situation, it would be remarkable

Gompen on Socialism.
President Gompers must knaw
tho sentiment of tho American Fed
eration of Labor when be promise
the socialist that that organization
will exert Ha Influence to elect Job
Ilarrlman, tho aociallat candidate,
mayor of Los Angeles. Socialism and
organized labor are not and havo not
been synonymous term; in fact, at
tlmea sharp lines of differences have
been drawn between the socialist and
antl-soclallst factions In the highest,
as well an lowest, councils of union
ism. On the floor of the convention
of the American Federation of Labor
In Toronto a few yeara ago, tho two
factions clashed in a most acrimoni
ous contest, ths anti-socialists tri
umphing. Mr. Gompers, himself, is not pub
licly identified with the socialist
party; he has usually worked with
the democrats. Other organized labor
leaders, conspicuous on the floors of
the federation s conventions, are
known antagonists of socialism, yet
It appears from Mr. Gompers' state
ment that as a whole their moral In
fluence will go to secure the election
of the socialist for mayor In Los
Angeles.
Does thla mean that socialism Is
engulfing union labor? Not nece-
aarlly. It means, we think, the re
bound of public sentiment from the
fierce and unrelenting and unwise
warfare against union labor as an
organism which for years has cen
tered in Los Angeles. Had the fight
been conducted upon less radical
lines, appealing moro to the popular
sense of fair play, undoubtedly the
recoil would not have flared biek aa
far as it has. Reports emanating
from ordinarily reliable sources say
that many conservative buatnens men
In Los Angeles, who have never been
union advocate, are found on the
side of the socialists In this fight,
not because they have espoused the
principles of socialism, but rather be
cause they have decided to rebuke
the unreasonable demands of the
other extremlats.
This city election in Los Angeles
will be remarkable In another re
aped It will be determined, it is
believed, by tho 60,000. women, who,
under the new law, "have registered
aa voters. On the surface It Is a fight
between a "good government" candi
date on tho one band and a socialist
candidate on tho other, both men of
admittedly strong personalities and
high abilities. But personalities are
lost In the larger conflict between the
ultra antl-unlOnlsts and the other
forces, who appear to prefer what" is
called socialism to radicalism of the
opposite type. . . . '

Wirt tret. It i running It fullest ca
pacity now With twenty-five Inmates.
The member of the Women's Christian
association set out rrxre than twenty
years ago to do philanthropic work. After
many effort In, different direction they
centralised on the ear of the old people.
With a tentative K bill with which to be
gin btialneea they bave managed to enlist
helper and money and today they can
house anl caro for a family of twenty
five. Just how many mora may be able
to find a home under the root .when tne
Anna Wilson bequest are transferred
and Incorporated Into their working capi
tal remain to be seen.
That numbt rs are turned away for want
ot room make us wish for a capacity
large enough to house the needy aged.
The Wilson bequest, until the estate I
entirely settled and tha seventh ot the
residue after paying the definite bequett
Is paid, turniahe not a penny for main
tenance.
The member of the association have
sent out their bag, as' usual, for Thanks
giving donation and hope for a liberal
response. '
Only those who take pains . to observe
have an Idea what It means to make a
harmonious family out of th representa
tive of twenty-five households and that
after tho greater number of year allotted
to life have become history. The ethical
side of the problem must be worked out
with Infinite patience. It I. after all, the
Important, fundamental part of the whole

ever, in nearly all the paper !n each

speeche were'reported fully.. They were

president' word of explanation and of

millions whe could not a,to th town

From the administration' point of
view, an understanding one way or the
other now has been reached by the peo
ple who before the presidential Mill
had. perhaps, what at best wa only a
half knowledge. Mr. Taft wanted to
reach the people and he believe that he
did It. He doe not know what they

Th eeker after purely political in

of course. Just as much knowledge ot

while he wa campaigning the prealdent
