MEXICO is now searching for a
candidate for the newly, created Of
fee of vice president Of the repub-
lic.- While it has been generally
felt in the United States that the
vice presidency is an unimportant
post-often used as a sort of shelf
on which to lay undesirable
political aspirants-yet the ex-
perience of the country since the
assassination of President Mckinley
has proved that idea to be, a sad
mistake, showing that the choice
of a candidate for the vice presi-
dency should be as carefully made
as for that of president. In Mex
leo it is not likely that such a
mistake will be made. for all realize
that, on account of the advancing
years of the present incumbent OF
the presidential chair, the man
selected as vice president, whoever
he may be, may and in all prob
ability will be the next president
of the republic, and that probably
at no very distant date. Therefore
the choice is a subject of the most
careful consideration.

President Roosevelt issued his neu-
trality proclamation setting forth what
acts were forbidden to neutrals by in
ternational law.
On Friday came reports of the bonn
bardment Of Port Arthur by the Japs.
and the destruction or capture OF more
Russian war ships. and the Chinese
were reported to be organizing a large
army for the destruction of the Siberian
railroad.
The Russian fleet from Vladivostock

Iided with one Of their own torpedoes
