Does the Herald read the signs
aright? Few days ago the Herald
forecast the possibility of a heavy in-1
crease in the state tax rate when the j
plants should be given the armor plate
contracts at practically their own pri-
ces, and naturally there was no gen-
uine competition among them. It is
very probable that congress will ac-
cede to Secretary Daniels’ request for
a “full, thorough and early investiga-
tion of the cost of an armor plate fac-
tory and the cost of manufacturing
armor plate in factories owned by the
concerns dependent upon government
patronage." It is also within the realm
of probability that, convinced of Sec-
retary Daniels’ earnestness of purpose
to bring the cost of armor plate down
to somewhere near reasonable figures,
the steel trust will emulate Davy

With his forty years of experience
in politics at the national capital,
Sam G. Blythe of the Saturday Even-
ing Post staff is telling how “the game
Is played.” Blythe bas a clear, in
cisive style, nothing florid, with a vein
of philosophy running through his
writings that attracts the interest of
the reader and holds. The story now
running in the Post is under the name
“The Pride of Place.” It tells how a
fresh countryman, put into Congress
by the power of the “boss” is learning
“the game” at the big marble pile on
the hill at the head of Pennsylvania
avenue—learning it in a way that is
not altogether conducive to the man’s
moral uplift In fact Marsh is rap-
idly developing that complacency that
makes of a congressman a first class
crook. Marsh is the name of the mem-
ber. He is the tool of and completely
in the grasp of the “boss” McManus
in Marsh’s home state; though Marsh
does have ocacsional flashes of con-
science which is not yet altogether
dead within him, at this stage of the
story. It will be interesting to waten
the progress of the story and note what
Blythe develops in the character he is
portraying. In the story this week is
a senator, Paxton, an old fox. Pax-
ton is a wise old chap, that is, wise
to “the game.” Cynical, shrewd, prac-
tically without principle, there is yet
something about the old fox that
makes you like him. Not without a
certain wisdom, the truths he lets
drop in his talks with Marsh, the
greenhorn congressman (plainly the
summing up of Blythe’s own experi-
ence and deductions) are wholesome
ones, and if it were possible to place
them simultaneously before the en-
tire voting body of America, would no
doubt cause an uprising. Says Pax-
ton in one of his apostrophes: “The
‘people’ we hear so much are not the
people back home; we are the people,
you and me, the representatives and
senators who are trying to hold their
Jobs here. * * * Once In a while
the people do arise and turn over
things with the axe and the torch,
but the trouble is another crowd Is
put In that starts soon to do what the
other crowd did and the people go
back to sleep. * * * The trouble
with the people is they are too busy
getting enough to eat and wear to
bother with the way their country is
run. They substitute hopefulness for
watchfulness.” In other words the
guards go to sleep on the post. It will
be Interesting to follow the develop-
ment of this story. There has been a
great deal of good done by Blythe’s
writings In the Saturday Evening
Post. It is a popular publication, and
sometimes it muckrakes with the bus-
iest of that breed. Its pills are so
sugar coated, however, that they have
so far passed muster without being
branded, under the pure literature law
enacted by the highbinders in the
National Manufacturers’ Association.

PARAGRAPHICS.
Sam Blythe, again in the Saturday
Evening Post of this week, has an in-
stallment of “The Price of Place.”
Marsh, the congressman from the
brush, the man with big ideas of his
own importance and incidentally a
wife with social ambitions, has fallen
into the seductive clutches of a gen-
tleman from Wall stret, the "legisla-
tive representative” of a big banking
house in New York. Marsh needs
money very badly—Dorothy is in so-
ciety and must have expensive gowns
—Molly the wife is climbing higher
and her gowns come oftener and cost
mors—and the check for $6,500 is the
temptation that Marsh falls for. Just
an innocent little "pool” you know—
there "are only a few of us in on it
and the stock is bound to advance. I’ll
put you in it and if we lose you can
make good the loss.” Of course Marsh
knew he would not lose. Still he had
misgivings. Marsh, while wanting to
do right—at least he thought he did—
was not altogether a fool, and his mor-
al sense told him he was being given
a sugar coated bribe. He told himself
—and Paxton the old fox—that even
if Quicksall should ask him to do
something against which his consci-
ence would rebel, he would not do It,
even if he did accept the check, etc.,
etc. Same old story. The devil gets
hold of a man, whispers sweet, sooth-
ing things In his ear. The man lis-
tens and for the whole mess falls,
finally. Now, Blythe may be, as one
great Texas paper has Said, serv-
ing up an old chestnut, but he is, nev-
ertheless, serving up a dish that is
highly entertaining, and, if It be cook-
ed over the coals of truth, will prove
to be bigbly Illuminative to the peo-
ple of the United States, with respect
to how their public servants are de-
bauched by the Money Devil who

Former Governor John Lind ol Min-
nesota to be President's Personal
Representative There.
Washington, Aug. 5.—President Wil-
son Monday took the first steps in the
policy through which he proposes to
deal with the Mexican situation. He
formally accepted the resignation of
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, to
take effect on Oct 14, and sent to the
City of Mexico as his personal—but
not accredited to the Huerta govern-
ment—former Governor John Lind of
Minnesota, a lifelong friend of Secre-
tary Bryan. The understanding is
that when a stable government is es-
tablished in Mexico, Mr. Lind will be
formally named as ambassador.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had frequent conferences dur-
ing the day. Ambassador Wilson had
a long talk with Mr. Bryan and Chair-
man Bacon of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations committee discussed the situ-
ation with the President at the White
House.
But except for the announcement of
Mr. Lind’s mission no explanation of
the policy to be pursued by the Amer-
ican government was forthcoming.

Washington, Aug. 5.—No announce-

he has determined to wait until his
personal representative, former Gov-
ernor Lind, of Minnesota, arrives in
Mexico City, and familiarizes himsell
with the conditions there. Governor
Lind will inform inquirers that only
a government constiutionally set up
will be recognized by the United
States. This will Involve the resigna-
tion of Huerta in favor of some pro-

While Mr. Lind has no position now
