Just a Reminder. Public announcement is made that two or three gentlemen over on the North Side are laying1 plans to "Smash the Busse machine." This announcement emphasizes the truth that, in addition to the people who have no foresig-tat, there are some also who have no hindsight. Not otherwise can we account for such a flourish of trumpets over a campaign against "the Busse machine at this late day. The blow which "smashed the Busse machine" was delivered by The Inter Ocean on Xov. 1, 1909.

It was Iabered "Who Stole This $45,984 From the City Treasury and GaTe It to McGovern The smashing- was continued daily lor three mouths and the last fragments were finally pulverized on Jan. 29, 1910. TheVeafter The Inter Ocean frequently reminded the people of Chicago of the notably just before the elections of November, 1910, and of April, 1911, with results which may be observed daily, except Sundays and legal holidays, in the county building and the city hall. We hare no desire to trumpet vain-g-loriously our own praises nor to publish a political manual of dates. But when gentlemen talk, in this year 1911, of "smashing- the Busse machine" we find it necessary to offer a gentle reminder of the pertinent facts.

Lower California the Land of Mystery. The story of a horseback trip through Lower California to Americans a land of mystery in spite of its nearness is told in the May issue of the National Geographic Magazine by E. W.Nelson. Lower California, we are told, has an Irregular coast line of over 2,000 miles, is bOO miles long and varies from 30 to 100 miles in width. It is mainly a mountainous, desert region, thinly peopled "and presenting many sharply contrasting For instance, one rinds low, sun-scorched plains, where death by thirst awaits the unwary traveler, close to the bases of towering granite peaks, belted with waving pine forests and capped in winter by gleaming snow, and in the midst of vast, desolate plateaus of lava one conies on valleys with verdure-bordered streams.

Still another contrast in conditions is afforded by the east and west coasts. The latter is bathed by cool waters and abundant fogs, while the eastern shore is "laved by the waves of a warm inland sea and sparkles under almost continuous; sunshine." The north and south routes in Lower California are three one along each coast and the third along the central mountain ridge which forms thebac't" bone of the peninsula. These date back for centuries, to the time of the; Jesuit missionaries, and are for the most part merely pony trails. The wagon roads lie geperally from east to west, leading from the coast to mining camps, and arc all very short. Mr.

Nelson and his party traveled for ten months through the peninsula, some times following the trails, sometimes striking off with their guides on aroute of their own. They found, among other things, the "most extraordinary desert flora in the world" a fantastic riot of extraordinary forms. The onlv larcre frame animals on the peninsula are the antelope, mountain sheep, mule deer and mountain lions. The antelopes are very scarce, but the deer are numerous. As In similar arid areas in the United States, the plains abound with small desert life, such as rabbits, pocket mice and kangaroo rats.

The population of Lower California is small. The most populous part is to the south, where the rains; are more rtgular than in the north. There are a few small towns along the coast and limited number of villages, ranches and miners camps in the interior. These cover the population. ctu4ucr iqc uescr tin tue luaur urBrncu and ruined ranch houses passed by the expedition sufficiently indicated.

But the stern desert conditions have finally triumphed over thestrength and en- tTinstAHm of the at.i1 ljTa A foiar nwvl .1 -J fc rainy seasons migni oring visions oi success, but the succeeding rainless years climatic difficulties Mr. Nelson Bays: The peninsula suffers from long periods of drought, during which no rainfall guf- ficleot to start vegetation occurs ever large areas from period of three to five years. These dry periods may bo sue-' eeeded by torreatUt rains, -which sweep tha country-and roll great floods down the usually dry water courses to the tea. During the long ralnlessr periods the smaller desert herbage crumbles and is blown sway, leaving the ground the larger woody ana nesny plants as bare as though swept, and the larger plants become more or less dormant. With the heavy reins which follow the bare earth la covered as if by magic with an abun-' dance of small flowering herbage and the larger plants burst forth Into flower and foliage.

The principal industries re pearl fish-lug on the east coast which is in the hftnds of two or three concessionaires at Xt Paz, the capital of tha northern half of the peninsula and a few silver and copper mines. There is some agriculture and cattle raising, but only fn certain favored The natives arc- of the Mexican-Indian type and the to judge by the illustrations of the article, is of the familiar Latin-American style. r-j 'The towns are small, Santa Rosalia, on the gulf coast, where a French company has' one of the largest copper producing mines In the world, being apparently the largest. It has 8,000 inhabitants. La Pai, however, is the oldest and most attractive.

It is at the head of La Paz bay, which opens into the Gulf of the chief commer; ctal port of the peninsula and has 6,000 souls. A Colonel Roosevelt Urges General Otis to Calm. 1 Some weeks ago air. Roosevelt published an essay on the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building and the murder of a score of its inmates. This article pleased neither Mr.

Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor and defender of the men accused of the crime, nor General Otis, editor of the Times, whose property was destroyed and whose assistants were murdered. Both published comments on Mr. Roosevelt's essay. In the current Outlook Mr; Roosevelt comments on- his commentators, whose articles he finds to "offer an instructive contrast to which he is "glad to call attention." Mr. Roosevelt finds that Mr.

Gompers' article "is a fair and honorable statement of a position with which I only in part disagree, couched- in language which warrants respectful and careful attention." Mr. Roosevelt's opinion of General Otis' is expressed in such phrases as these: General Otis It guilty of conduct which cannot be too severely denounced when the offender is a violent opponent of organized labor and a consistent enemy of every movement for so-, cial and economic betterment. The attitude of General Otis In bis paper afford a curious instance of the anarcby cf soul which comes to the man who in conscienceless fashion deifies property at the expense of human rights. It may be quite true that the Los Angtles Times has again and again shown itself to be an enemy of good citizenship, of honest and decent government, etc. Evidently Mr.

Roosevelt thinks it is true, though he hastens to add that "that has nothing to do with the question," and to affirm that his own attitude would have been the same "if the paper dynamited had been a Socialist paper in Milwaukee instead of a capitalist newspaper in Los Angeles." That is, Mr. Roosevelt's attitude would have been as calm and "fair" as he' finds that of Mr. Gompers to be, and wholly free from, the excitement and resentment which he reprobates in General Otis. Well, it is easy for a man 3,000 miles from the scene of a crime, a man whose property has not been destroyed by it, and whose helpers and friends have not been murdered in it, to preserve an attitude of philosophic detachment toward that crime and the criminals, as does Mr. Roosevelt, or toward the crime if not toward the criminals, as does Mr.

Gompers, It is easy for a man so situated to discuss the affair abstractly, with plenty of "ifs" and "whethers and other qualifying particles of speech, and so illustrate admirably the beauties of philosophic calm. But it is not easy for the man who has seen half a million dollars of his property destroyed by that crime and the lives of a score of his helpers and friends snuffed out to abstain alto gether from little strong language- about it Nor Is it easy for a man who has been repeatedly the target of the assassin to sii down! and calmly discuss how much of right there may be, after all4on the side of his would-be murderers. It jis hardly possible for even the most regenerate human nature to do this. What Mr. Roosevelt's reproofs to General Otis really come to may be summarized somewhat in this fashion: If your building is destroyed by criminals, don't get excited.

Be calm and judicial, as I am. Ifyour friends are murdered, don't abuse the murderers. Be calm and philosophical, as I am. If blown up, be-j discriminating and hopeful. Be as cairn as Mr.

Gompers, 3,000 miles away. Really, when such advice is wafted across the continent from such a source, we must admit that General Otis will prove more than human if he takes it. Another International Marriage. In spite of the solemn warnings afforded by the post-marriage careers of Count Boni de Castellane and divers other foreigners who have married United States citizens, another American has contracted an internstional alliance. We refer toUeutenant Byron Dement Rogers of the United States Navy, who was united in the bonds of matrimony in New York Wednesday to Miss Mary Alice Lang, daughter of Sir Robert Hamilton Lang, K.

C-, M. G.j of "The Grove," Dedham, Essex, England. Let us hope that this American will have a happier lot than the others who have gone before him in the same path and whose woes even yet resound from time to time and from shore to shore, through the able assistance of foreign correspondents and a good cable service! But will the precedents thus be shattered into bits? Can it be that we shall not soon be reading a cable telling how this American's honeymoon was rudely disturbed by his spouse's demand for enough money to pay Off the gambling debts contracted at Monte Carlo and other European resorts? Is it possible that the customary announcement of an urgent demand for funds sufficient to restore certain tumble-down estates will not soon be made ia the nuptial chamber and daly laid before the public of two continents by an enterprising press? Can it be that there will be nothing in the dispatches about the treatment to which this last' trusting American has been subjected treatment going on occasions even to the length of threats of physical chastisement and duress? Is it possible that the latest international alliance will pursue a course so smooth and untroubled that there will never float over the water the'story of how. the foreigner, is neglecting the American for tae company of people regarded as more fascinating? i This entire change of the program of international 'marriages may indeed be made. It may be that the foreigner and the American will live together in jeace THE INTER OCEAN, FRIDAY JIORNING, JUNE lGf 1911.

and harmony and happiness. We trust that It may be so. But a strict regard for truth compel us to remark that If this is indeed the case, it 'will be a plain reversal of the precedents set by Boni de Castellane, Prince de Sagan, not to mention the rest, as well a grievous blow at the enterprising foreign correspondent and the cable company's daily tolls." An international marriage where the American is not made to put up liberally for the' pre-nuptial diversions of the foreign person, where the" Ameri can not expected to support a lot of questionable friends of the consort, and where there is no brutal mistreatment that makes excellent reading- why, the thing seems almost incredible. However, the fact that the foreigner in this case Is a lady, and hence the bride instead of the' bridegroom, suggests that there is really a fairer prospect for the wonder to come to pass than is usually the case. A Little Sermon to College Graduates.

About thirty or forty thousand young men and young women are now leaving college to make their way in the world. These college graduates are hearing, of course, much about the "problems" they are about to encounter, and in what spirit and with what aims they should endeavor to solve' those "problems." They are especially admonished to "live up to their ideals." They are more especially admonished to "live for others." What of it? The real problem of the college graduate is to reconcile the counsels of ideal perfection "which he has been pursuing in his academic years with the many imperfections of a very human world as it is. His first, impressions are almost certain, to be that the human world is-all wrong. He is never likely to amount to much if such are not his first impressions. Fort una iely most "young men and women have more native sense than their academic Instructors and our habitual udrisers credit them with.

Therefore they refrain, as a rule, from expressing violently these first impres sions. Thus, silently observing the world, they arrive in due time at a compre hension of the truth that life is necessarily a series of compromises between the idealities of perfection and the realities of imperfection. They dis cover that the average man has quite enough to do in keeping his own doorsteps clean, and they recognize the wisdom of being sure of success in that effort before undertaking to reform others. They also discover the solid truth of the rather rough saying: He who would love his fellow men Must not expect too much of them. This is a very old world and men have lived upon it a long time, has taken thousands of years, with their innumerable crimes, failures and disasters, to attain even the average of decency It now enjoys.

There isn't the slightest possibility of making human nature over in fifteen minutes, no matter what the clamor, the agitations or the majorities that may be applied In the effort. In many instances fifteen generations have not been enough really to "abolish" what looks like a very evident "evil." Most important of all for them to remember is that all real "reforms" must begin with the individual in the strictest sense of the word. Real and abiding reforms are not effected by the panacea- of the day. They are effected usually by increasing the number of men and women who are resolved personally, and at no matter what cost, to abstain from an evil practice. After a while they so increase that the practice simply disappears or becomes so infrequent that it is no longer just "sin and may be effectively repressed as "crime." Having solved the problem of what life really is, the college graduate will not lose his ideals, but rather live up to them personally and be content with that, knowing that one man in the right with.

God ia always a majority. Mrs. Raymond Robins Will March. From London comes great news: Mrs. Raymond Robins, will march as one of the leaders in the suffragettes' five-mile coronation procession.

We feel. sure that we voice the general sentiment of Chicago when we wish Mrs. Robins the greatest success as a suffragette coronation marcher. May she do us proud! As she marches at the head of that imposing procession from Victoria embankment to Albert hall let her remember the countless Chicagoans that are hanging breathless on her progress and step her level best. Michigan avenue looks to her to show Pall Mall just what our local art looks like in brief, to convince it that London has nothing on Chicago when it comes to a first-class, esthetic style of march-ingl And not only Michigan avenue! State street, Milwaukee avenue and Halsted street all these thoroughfares where the people of Chicago take their dally promenades look to Mrs.

Robins, now that she has attained this singular distinction as a marcher, to see to it that they are rightly represented in the marching line. It is a great honor joined with a great responsibility that has coma to Mrs. Robins. The reputation of her home city hangs, in a way, on.th.e style of her performance. As Mrs.

Robins goes, so goes Chicago at least, that will be the opinion of foreign observers. However, we trust, we feel, that she will be equal to the occasion that when she has finished her march London, will heave a sigh of mingled admiration and regret (and give the "glad hand," to use a colloquial phrase, to Chicago. So march on, Mrs. Robins, with the proud confidence that the city whose reputation as the home of marchers, suffragette and otherwise, is committed to your care, is backing you to make all other suffragette marchers from all other-lands look cheap. In the poet's 'S' Thou, too, march oa.

They sailed away full of praise for American sport, American crowds, American hospitality, American American polo, American girls and everything American so far as they could judge by New York.

It appears that President Taft, King George V. and the Governor General of Canada are to be presented with suits of clothing from the first bale of Texas cotton of the season. They may come from the same bale, but will hardly be cut from the same pattern.

We afa not aware that any direct charge had been made In Iowa touching "trickery" or "bribery" In senatorial choosing. Why all this repeated and cumulative protesting against the idea that such a thing could be possible In Iowa? Must virtue wear such a constant outward sigo? Must honesty be heralded every morning?
