Every Man to His Trade.
George Schroeder, a convict,
whose baritone voice got hiin
out of Walla Walla penitentiary
after gottiug a 20 year sentence,
for lorgery, will go on tho stage
in vaudeville at a salary of $100
a week. Schroeder's voice ac-
tually secured his release from
penitentiary, according to let-
ters, documents and petitions he
has, and ho says it will keep
Mill out permanently. Schroe-
der, wh3 served a terra in San
Quentin penitentiary, forged a
$ 10 check in Spokano in August
1012, and his previous record
served to get him (ho heaviest
punishment, an indetermediate
sentence running to 20 years,
At the penitentiary he resumed
the study of music that he left
off years before on the outside.
When the German Saengerfest
was held in Walla Walla last
June, Schroeder got permission
to sing before it. Two weeks
later petitions containing tho
names of 4,000 German musi-
cians and others were handed to
the parole board, asking Schroe-
der's release. This was granted.
It is generally assumed that
every person has a natural bent
for something which is para-
mount to every other bent.
This may be true, but in tho
average every-day person we do
not always find it so. We are
especially healthful work and
mental development work. The
lact that Schroeder wns able to
study music in prison is an evi-
dence of this. Prison should
not bo an Elysiam delight, for
thero should be rigid discipline
with stern punishment for vio-
lation of the rules, even to tho
use of (ho "bat," but the reward
should be as in Schroeder's case,
opportunity to develop the best
that is in one and ordinary pun-
idiment should bo the with-
holding of permission to enjoy
the pleasure one with a strong
bent gets from following that
bent.—\Inrshall Messenger.
WORLD'S DEBT
IS INCREASING
The National debts of the
world now aggregate $42,000,-
000,000, having increased 20 per-
cent in tho last decade and
doubled in the last 40 years
The interest and other annual
charges amounted in 1012 to
$1,732,000,000, or an average
of slightly more than 4 per cent,
though in many cases, especial-
ly those of the stronger nations,
the interest rates aro materially
below tnat figure. The above
figures, compiled by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Com
meree, include the indebtedness
more apt to observe it in cases ! overy couutry aud colony of
such as this, where the bent t,ie world of which figures are
it> strong, approaching that of
genius. But the theory serves
to furnish material for argument
in favor of a worse personal in-
stead of a general herding of
convicts, the object being to find
only the germ of a paramount
bent that is not decidedly crim-
inal and develop it. In other
words take the best in a man or
woman at^jpry to build it up,
make it the prominent feature
in charactcr and endeavor to of-
ford them a living by its means.
Some semblance of this idea is
found in some prisons where
available.
The largest National debt is
that of France, $0,284,000,000;
the next largest being Russia,
$4,553,000,000; the United King-
dom, $3,480,000,000; Italy, $2,-
707,000,000; Spain, $1,815,000,-
000; British India, $1,475,000,-
000; /apan, $1,242,000; and the
United States, $1,028,000,000.
The debt of tho German Empire
is stated at $1,178,000,000, and
of tho German States, $3,736 •
000,000; that of Austria-Hun-
gary, $1,051,000,000; that of
Austria, $1,434,000,000, and of
variety of work is permitted. | Hungary, $1,268,000,000.
Savagery in Mexico.
In warning General Villa a-
gainst tho execution of Federal
prisoners, Senator Catron of
New Mexico was uot acting with 1
the authority of President Wil- j
shn, but we fancy these murder-1
ous violations of all rules of civ-
ilized warfare, so far as war can
be called civilized, will greatly
complicate the problem the Pres-
ident has set out to solve. The
assassination of President Made-
ro, which so shocked the con-
science of the President, was not
a whit more brutal than the
murder of the Federal officers in
Jaurez.
The incident gives additional
insight into Mexican conditions
and reveals the futility ofhoping
that order andjcivilizationcan be
restored in that unhappy coun-
try by the socalled Constitution-
alists, even if we should recog-
nize their belligerency and enable
them to overthrow the Iluerta
regime.
Considered from any reasona-
ble angle whatsoever', there is
not in Mexico a nucleus of char-
acter, combined with purpose, of
sufficient strength or influence to
bring about the restoration so
necessary to Mexico's wellbeing
or to establish order1 upon an en-
during basis. If there were but
two factions and one might suc-
ceed in annihilating the other
and establishing a government
it would not last. The truth is
Mexico is faction ridden and an-
archy ridden.
The reign of lawlessness,blood-
shed, predation, destruction, of-
ficial corruption, tyranny, assas-
sination has gone to such length
that there is no leadership po-
tent enough to command public
confidence. The downtrodden,
illiterate masses no longer trust
the leaders. They have been ex-
ploited and oppressed until noth-
ing resembling national spirit
is left. They tisj;hb first on one
side or the other as they can get
money or food or in order to es-
cape execution.
The small educated group is
swayed for the most part by am-
bition or jealousy, and its fac-
tions can unite upon but one
thing, and that, opposition to
intervention or mediation. They
fear that anv serious effort on
the part of the United States to
restore order and rehabilitate
Mexico's thin civilization would
result in such economic readjust-
ment that they might no longer
fleece and oppress the 15,000,-
000 miserable creatures who
have become embroiled through
the quarrels of the small ruling
class.
Not in any respect has the
situation improved since the ab-
dication of I)iaz. On the con-
trary it has become worse and
will continue to grow worsountil
the nuisance absolutely compels
intervention or war1 No mat-
ter what government may be
set up or what faction favored,
there will follow a period of re-
prisals, execution and confisca-
tion.
Our diplomacy is futile, and
our ultimata aro meaningless.
In most respects our plenipoteu-
