THE INCUBATOR BABY.

TIE Incubator baby is still in the
lime light and has got its foster
mother and one ]. N. Gently who's
a product of Neosho county into
what seems to be rather a serious
predicament. The acting governor
of Missouri has honored the
requisition of Governor Stubbs for
Mrs. Stella Barclay and ]. N.
Gentry and the prisoners have been
brought to Topeka, where they will
be tried under the charge of
kidnapping and Gentry is further
charged with assault with intent to
kill,
These two parties made raid on
the home of this baby when the
mother was absent and carried it
away and reached Kansas CITY
before they were arrested. The
baby was guarded by young man
but Gentry knocked him down with
revolver and the baby was carried
off. This is lhe baby that was in
the incubator at St Louis during
the faii and attracted great
deal of attention. 1t was after
wards ad pied by Mrs. Barclay,
but was finally turned over to the
mother, Mrs. Bleakley, by the
courts.
This kidnapping business is a
pretty serious offence and deserves
severe punishment. Our former
friend Gentry with the two charges
hanging over him is not in a very
enviable position.

FLOOD IN MEXICO.

The great foods in northern
Mexico last week did untold dam
ages. Instead Of growing smaller
the damages reported grow larger
on investigation.
The property loss is now estimated
al $50, 900, 900 and the loss of life
at 400 while thousands of peopl-
are homeless and are being fed and
cared for by the government and
public charity.
Monterey, a large city in the
northeas: part of the republic, is
the center of devastation.
1t is a modern up to date city,
situated in valley, and got the full
force of the food, Eighteen blocks
of he city were destroyed.
The houses of the poorer classes
were generally of adobe and when
the water struck them they crum :
bled down into pile of dirt.
The water has receded and the
work of disentangling has begun.

Great Company OF Clowns

There Is a great band OF cOmsdlans
with the Barnum and Bailey greatest
shJW on earth this season. Aside
from those famous in America, there
are a score or more from EurOpean
arenas, and from start to tinlsh the
great performance is tempered with
delightful comedy. One of the things
that has made the Barnum and
Bailey circus famous for fifty-fout
years has been i is clowns. Never
have they resorted to time-w worn
dew ;es to earn laugh. They are
this season, as they ALWAYS have been,
the origiPators Of their profession.
The audience is kept in constant good
humor, the children are delighted
and their elGers relish the three hour,
of clever nonsense. Many new pante-
mines, travesties and grotesq1
stunts have been Introduced into the
performance and every one who visits
the great arena leaves on better
terms with himself and the world for
having laughed uutil his sides palned
him. Chanute, Saturday, Sept 18th.

AMERICA AS AN ISSUE.

On two Sides of the Globe at
this moment the United States is
figuring rather prominently in the
thoughts of the populace.
Irritation at the influence which we
are gaining in Mexico appears to be
a large factor In the candidacy of
Gen. Bernardo Reyes for vice
president of that country in the
election which is to take place in
1910. And, unless the reports
from the other side of the Rio
Grande are exaggerated, that
candidacy stands chance to cause
something like miniature civil
war. Says one of the newspapers
of the City of Mexico: alt goes
against the grain for the average
Mexican, who naturally possesses
his share of the ir firmities of human
nature, to find the railways so
largely handled by men of alien
race, speech and habits, usually
speaking tie language OF the
country indifferently, if at all, and
apt to be somewhat unpliabe in
manner. 1t is as if the Mexican Of
the Interior could not leave his
native canton to visit the capital OF
the republic without passing
through the Caudlne Forks OF
Anglo Saxondom. The Mexi-
cans who feel that way-and,
naturally, there must be many of
them-are opposing Diaz's pro-
American candidate for vice
president, Ramon Corral, the
present incumbent, and are support
ing Gen. Reyes who is the governor
of Nuevo Leon, state on the,
United States border, and who is.
opposed to the further expansion of
American iafuence in Mexico.
Over in New Zealand the
opposite spirit prevails as regards
the Omitted States. William u.
Stead, an ardent British admirer of
America, IN a talk with Sir Robert
Stout, the ex-premier of that
colony, who is now its chief Justice,
asked the latter what would his
people do if, in the war which
many Englishmen look for, Eng
land should be defeated by
Germany, and Sir Robert answed
emphatically: eff Britain were to
lose command of the sea and
Germany were to tske her place,
then New Zealanders would not
hesitate a moment as to their
policy. They could not defead
their own independence against a
German fleet which had wrested the
trident from Britannia. But never
will they submit to foreign
domination. Our course is clear |
If Britain goes under, Greater
Britain goes over at once to the
United States of America. 4
similar sentiment was expressed in
New Zealand and Australia last !
year, during the visit of the
American fleet on Its tour round the
globe, though it was Japan instead
of Germany which figured then in

the role OF possible enem!.
ireater Britain, of course, COM
prises more than the entire Aus
tralasia. 1t includes Canada and
all the rest of England's colonies.
While Canada, except the Pacil
end of it, has not been expressing
any warm affection for the United
States in recent year, it would
undoubtedly turn TO us for aid if
assailed by any powerful European
nation. And, in defense of the
Monroe policy, we would furnish
that support.
1t is gratifying to the United
States to know that it has the regard
of the big colonies of the Pacific,
though the contingency which would
imEel them to ask for the extension
of an American protectorate over
them is SO remote that it need not
receive serious consideration. AS
the United States looks at the
situation, Englaud's German periF'
is a piece of hysteria which will
soon vanish. The American issue
which Mexico has before it is more
tangible, though it is not likely to
cause much embarrassment to us.
Over 500, 900, 900 of American
capital is invested in Mexican rail-
ways, mines, mills, mercantile
houses, and other kinds of property.
This amount is increasing steadily.
Gen. Diaz, as an alert statesman,
early began to make overtures to
Americans to invest money in hio
country. In Jay its resources
are being developed, and it has
attained measure Of prosperity
which was unknown In the past
Two-thirds of all of Mexico's
foreign trade is with the United
States. All the American capital
which enters Mexico is welcomed
by Gen. Diaz and Finance Minis.er
Limantour. Vice President Corral,
is also friendly TO this kind of an
"Amerlcan invasion" But strong
element of the Mexican populace
take the view that the nation which
owns a large part of the industries
of their country will ultimately gain
a political Proprietorship. A few
decades ago a similar feeling of
opposition revealed itself among
many Americans regarding the eI'
tent of British investments here. In
the United States then, as in Mexico
now, this prejudice was exploited
by demagogues for their own selfish
purposes. Il was one Of the in
fluenees which made "twisting the
lions tail" popular pastime.
hears anything of this feel
ing now. British investments ia the
United States are larger in the
aggregate now than they ever were
IN the past, but in the immense
and expansion OF
American activities they have shruak
when compared with
he vast increase in the volume of
imerlcan investments. Though not

degree, the home outlays of money
