With Other Editois
Mexico’s Future Brightening.
\«-\cr bet ore bn- Mexico seemed nearer
to a solution of her great problem- of
government than on thi- anniver-.tr>- ot
her odepemVnee day. This is taking the
extreme •|itinii-tn* view of Mex:c«’- in-
ternal conditions veil as oi her rela-
tioi - wi:a tins country. but the plain
sitpi- imlieate that a great light i- break-
•ng over the distraught country. While a
commission made up of leading Mexican-
and repre-entativi-s of thi- country is eon -
errn g in New London in an honest and
lupelul effort to settle Mexico’- mo-t so-
nuii- extern;'.! trouble a- well as our own
1 ir-t Unit Carranza is i--utng decrees
locking toward the re-e-tabli-hment of
con-titiitnmal government within the coun-
try.
It i- probable s«»n:...ling more than a
coincidence that Carranza should i—ue1
decrees calling for the election of a c>n-
-titutional congre— on the day following
a long discus-ion of thi- very subject by
the joint commission but the two cir-
cumstances are rightly joined. Our dif-
ficulties are the direct re-alt of the ab-
solve of eou-titiun»nal government in
Mexico. There will be no .-county for the
border until Mexico again becomes a real
republic. If Carranza’s timely procla-
mations are in response to prompting or
advice from hi- commissioners here sc
much the better for Carranza.
The tir-t chief i- living well advised
and shows a disposition u> heed edvv
If he makes the most of his opportuni-
ties he will render his eoiintrv a great
service for he has it within '-is power
bring order out of chaos. Anarchy must
have burned itself out :n Mexico 1 v t!..-
tinie. All that the revoluti ns have hoped
to accomplish may lie realized it C.u
rnnzu keeps faith with his own pe 'pie and
with this country. For the moment h
seems inclined to do so. lie has done
much better than was expected or even
hoped at one time and for that he de-
serve- credit. Most people on this side
of the border will readily forgive him if
be live- up to hi- promises. < ertainly
they have only the best wishes for the
country that is today celebrating its in-
dependence. The celebration might seem
a mockery in view of Mexico’s history-
distant and recent but independence does
not come with a declaration. It is a
matter of evolution and tin* republic to the
-outli i- working toward real independence
—Brooklyn Kagle.
The President’s Loss.
The sympathy of the country will go
out to President Wilson in the h>— of ln-
>ister. Mrs. ilowe. No man in our public
lite for year- has been so lieset with
great and |>erplexing publ; • problems a-
tlit* president and in* man ha- been le—
• inclined to permit lu> private grief- and
•responsibilities to interfere with the per-
I form.nice ot In— public duties. But any
! addition in the load he is carrying and
mu—t carry 1- a matter ot deep concern
to the people whom be is serving through
laborious and harassed days. — Brook-
lyn Kagle.
For a Military Road in Texas.
Tlit* lit" (irande Military Highway Asso-
ciation has hen tor sumo linn* engaged in
the w..rk of arousing interest in a road
irom HI I’a-o to Brownsville along the Hio
11r.itide and close ctiougs to that stream
to fucilit ttc the movement of troops and
• applies tor the protection of the nation-
al boundary.
A bill which was favorably reported to
the Sixty third congress tor the survey ot
such a road tailed to pa--. At thta time
the war department took the position that
the road was not necessary trom a milita-
ry -tnadpoint. But it was admitted that
tiic busine.-s of the treasury and immigra-
tion departments along the Bio (irande
wen! I i»c facilitated by the construction
ot the road.
The value of this pro|H>sed highway
from a military point ot view ha- ti**ui
materially changed by events of the past
lew months. The presence of vast bodies
of troop- in the Bio (irande Valley the
difficulty of puickly moving them fr «iu
point to point as necessity may rc«pnre.
the distance of railroads trom the i»o r
at many points the increased u— ot mo

hv those who taxor iiie constru* ‘

Abo the threatened lying m * of a1! r d
transportation which wail long remain
fresh in memory is forceful cxide.ve that
the road should he constructed. With such:
in line * . communication independent ot j
the r lines and with the completion ot
the i crcoastal canal from New Orleans
to Brownsville there i- no power without
or within this country which could prevent
supplies reaching our soldiers along the
Mexican border.
The im{H>rtancc of -udi a road t«* this
state and to other counties through which
it wauld pa— g"Cs without saying. Amt
Texas and those counties should arrange
plans whereby they may co-operate with
the federal government in it- construction.
Much good roads legislation will be ob-
ligatory on the next ses-d* »i ot oar state
lawmakers. The citizen- ot the Rio Gran-
de Valley should see to it that sm--i.il r<»n- j
sideration i- given mrti-nre- looking to the
construction of this highway.— Houston'
