lombians no doubt think they did a smart thing
when they held up cablegrams'
The American people are beginning to inquire how
long Government proposes to stand being spat
upon insulted and snubbed by those pestiferous
Latin American states. They have long been in the
habit of robbing and maltreatng Americans without
rebuke or punishment and seem to have concluded
that our Government will not protect its own ct-
from their outrages it is safe to insult it directly
This has been done by Colombia in this canal al
fair, and other Government would rest under it.
The nterception of official dispatches to our Minister
to Bogota is equivalent to an act of war. The Gov
ernment of Colombia should be ordered to apologize
to Minister Beaupre, and be compelled to do it. hat
in hand. Upon refusal Panama and Colon should
be bombarded and a force landed to march on Bo-
gotta.
OF course this is act of war and must be au-
thorized by our Congress. Our domestic dema-
gogues would object and do much batherskiting
about sister republic, but healthy American SEN
timent is in no humor to listen to the semi-treason
of demagogues. Either must put an end to Latin
American bullying or take our place at the cross

Europe managed to partition Africa without much
trouble, and in times past Russia Austria and Prus

without any very long discussion. 1t would be
equally easy for those three powers to agree now
with respect to the partition of Turkey but for the
fact that the Turk better armed than the Pole was
the African is, and he is going to lie down and
be partitioned without fight

troublesome and rude, as worker he is worthless

their talent and responding generously to
the rounds of applause which followed
each well-rendered number.
Both the ballads and coon songs con-
tributed by Miss Rose Broderick were
highly appreciated by the audience, and
the young lady answered gracefully to
the many encoreS she received. Mrs. Myr-
tie Marshall was delightful in her rendi-
ton of the coon songs with which she
favored the veterans. Miss Jean Durrell
first touched the hearts of the audience
deeply with a little recitation entitled
when I Was in the Army and then in
twinkling brought down the house with
comic recitations. The singing of the
members of the quartet was splendid, in

MAIL WILL BE TAKEN
TO OIL FIELD CAMPS
Rural Free Delivery to Have an In
teresting Trial in Kern
County

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 14.-To-morrow
morning a rural free delivery will be
started from the Bakersfield postofice
to the Kern River oil fields leaving here
at $50 o'clock every morning. The route
will be about twenty-five miles in length
and will take in all the properties around
the edge of the field, leaving those in the
central part to be served as now-by the
Oil City postoffice.
The route is the first one to be estab-
lished in Kern County. and differs from
any other in the country inasmuch as it
is the first rural route to handle the busi-
ness of large corporations and of an ex-
clusively business instead of farming
community. The route will handle the
mail of a number of the largest compa-
nies in the field, and the experiment will
be watched with great interest by postal
officials.
