An Iowa man who had just money

openly for money and they have to
fight fairly. The %fouling of oppo-

Misunderstanding as to
Father Sherman's March"

As the mists gradually clear away
from the commOtion caused by what
purported to be Father Sherman's
March TO the Sea-" it begins TO look
as though something of a misunder-
standing is partially at least, respon-
Eible for what everyone must admit
has been a most unfortunate affair.
The last issue Of the Catholic News
contains the following in regard to
It:
Those who have been aroused by
what they call Father Sherman
March to the Sea" are on the wrong
track. They seem to be labOring IN
Ger the delusion that the priest orig
mated the trip and asked the govern
Euent 10 provide a regular army es.
cOrt- Some critics say that the fact
that he sought an escort appears to
indicate that he feared violence. and
thus reflects upon Southern Chivalry
Now, the truth of the matter is that
Father Sherman of his own accord
had nothing to do with the enterprise.
II seems that the War Department re-
Gently issued an order instructing
commanders of posts and depart
ments TO have practice marches
made by officers and men. and parti-
cularlyly to study the movements of
the armies of both sides in the civil
war. Gen. Bell, chief of staff, says
the scene Of Sher>.an's operations is
especially interesting and instructive
from a tactical standpoint, and that
Il is natural that officers should make
q study Of his march TO the sea and
the various fights he had with the
Southern forces. The officers who
were TO make a study Of the march 70
the sea thought il would be a fine
thing TO have Sherman's son, priest
Who served as an army chaplain dur
Ing the war with Spain, accompany
them. That is all there is to the mat
ter. II would seem that the incident
has been tortured into a yellow jour
ual sensation.
This throws a new light on the
matter and one which the south, no
less than Father Shsrman's friends
viii be glad TO see. Let the incident
therefore be closed and let us give
those who planned the march" the
benefit OF the doubt in the misunder-
standing which the Catholic News
alleges in the above.

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA TUESDAY MORNING. MAY s. 1906

While We have lived in peace with
the sister republic to the south. and
there have been many friendly ex.
rressions between the two countries
still it Is an open secret that Mexi-
cans do not like the citizens of the
United Subsequently, with good
reason, for our people are too prone
to feel and even exhibit a certain
real or fancied superiority in al
their dealings with the Mexicans.
Besides, the two nations are alien
in race and in customs. Right. in
the United States, in its legal and
political sense, is looked upon as as
surance in Mexico. and many legal
practices there are regarded here as
so many survivals of a tyranny that
is hateful to our spirit of liberty.
The wonder is that the two nations
have not clashed more frequently than
they have, and the reason, no doubt
is due to the feeling of forbearance
which the United States entertains
towards the weaker nations Of this
hemisphere. But when Mexico seizes
American vessels and jails American
citizens. denying them the advice and
assistance Of counsel, it is time for
the department of state to ask some
questions, and that, too, sharply and
oecisively.

DRINKING Milk.

Some complain that they cannot
drink milk without being distress
ed by it. The most common rea-
son why milk is not well borne is
due to the fact that people drink it
too quickly. If a glass of it is swal-
lowed hastily it enters into the stom-
ach and then forms in one solid,
curdled mass, difficult of digestion.
If, on the other hand, the same
quantity is slipped and three min
utes at least are occupied in drink
ing it, then on reaching the stom-
ach it is so divided that when coag-
ulated, as it must be by the gastric
juice while digestion is going on,
instead of being in one hard, con-
densed mass, upon the outside of
which only the digestive fluids can
act, it is more in the form of a
sponge, and in and out of the entire
bulk the gastric juice can play free
" and perform its function.

The Seizure of
United States Vessels.

While 1t is hardly probable that
the recent seizure Of United States
fishing vessels will result in serious
trouble with the Republic Of Mexico
the opinion prevails, to a great eX-
tent, that Mexico has acted without
due justification in the matter and
that the United States should be firm
in dealing with the situation. Under
the caption: rs Mexico Hunting
TrOuble?" the Memphis Commercial
Appeal discusses the matter as fol
lows
IL there be truth in the reports con-
corning the treatment which Mexico
has accorded the crews Of the fishing
vessels which were seized by that
country. then It is high time for
washington authorities 20 interfere.
When the first seizure was made
this country took for granted that
Mexico was merely seeking a test
case, and that all proceedings would
be Formal In their nature. The sec
cnd seizure, however, followed close
" by a third, showed conclusively
that the Mexican government had de-
termined the nature and extent of its
rights in the matter for itself and
with no consideration of any claims
on the part of Americans
In Mexican eyes the vessels we're
Eoachers: the crews thieves. No ex-
plantations and no denials on the part
OF the masters Of the fishing crafts
could alter the verdict and the men
taken were treated as convicted Grim
inals from the moment of capture.
News reports insist that they were
even denied the assistance OF cOun-
sci, and according TO one report the
crew OF one vessel at least were
clsped into a filthy and vermin
loaded Jail
No doubt American fishermen from
time TO time VIII be found commit
ting depredations In Mexican waters.
indeed, it Is hare enough 70 keep the
menhaden fishermen within bounds
or the Jersey coast, but the reports
thai come from Mexico indicate that
the government down there has acted
with q hand a trifie higher than this
government can afford to tolerate.
It may vet be necessary to teach
Mexico that Dark Age methods ap-
Piled to American citizens starts al
tame which may not be extinguished
until such methods are exterminated.
