cRITIcIsING THE HOME PAPER.

The local paper is always willing to
aid in the building up of it's own town,
always doing it's share, is~ever ready
to assist in any enterprise, but can
do so to better advantage with the
combined efforts of the townspeople.
Any encouragement offered the home
paper is generally appreciated and it
more than doubly pays the assistance
it received. In every town there are a
few persons who are ready at the drop
of a hat to find fault with the home
paper, regardless Of what good it has
done for them In many instances the
editor is censured for things that are
of no more value than a misplaced let
ter in a word. There are times when, if
the editor would publish something
that should be known to his readers,
there might be reason for some of
these "kickers" to howl and have
the papers marked refused" when
placed in the postof1ice.
It is of little use for the editor to
waste his lungs and sprafn his spine
in trying to boost his own town when
citizens all stand around with their
hands in their pockets and wait indif-
ferently for something to turn up. SO
it is of little use for anybody to con-
tinually pick flaws from their home
paper. Any editor of a newspaper that
can please all his readers is deserv-
ing of the best seat in the heavenly

him the dominant power in Central
America.
Say u. s. Too Hasty.
Up to tonight no comments on the
situation have been made by the Mexi-
co City press but it is reported that
in forthcoming editorials most of the
papers will take the view that the
United States was too hasty. The
Daily Record, the only afternoon Eng
lish daily here editorially says:
1.-The Record holds on brief for the
president of Nicaragua and if Ze'aya
is guilty of the things charged against
him by Secretary Knox, according to
press dispatches. this afternoon it is
easy to understand the evaporation
of the Washington government. The
retirement. however. of Zelaya will
not materially lessen the load which
the United States evidently has I'M
dertaken to carry in Central America
so long as Estrada Cabrera is per-
mitted to remain at the head of af-
fairs in Guatemala"
Among private citizens of the Mex
lean nation there is apparent att1-
tude of criticism of Secretary Knox
because of the LANGUAGE used in his
letter to the Nicaraguan charge
d'affaires in Washington.

members of congress elected with him.
He has no official knowledge of the
kind of legislation. the people want

tons to congress.
This supersedes the mandate given
him in the platform of the convention

have changed their minds in few
weeks. Who can blame him for COM
ing to this conclusion? The people
cannot expect President Taft to do
what they have asked him unless they
give him al congress that will help to
do it lawfully If they want lawless;
reform, he is the wrong shop for it.
If his administration shall be a COM
plete failure, and if the Wild Man
from Africa shall come galumphing
back to bestride a narrow nation like a
colossal cowboy, it will not be Taft's
fault 1t will be the fault Of a people
that does not know what it wants or
will not take the trouble to get it.

ment it is fittest for, whether of law
or of the big stick and the short and
ugly word.

1T PRECIPITATE
Minister Castro, Ncaraguan Repre-
sentative to Mexico, Sees Dictator of
Central America Made Ne Presi-
dent to Succeed Zelaya-knox's
Language Is Critized.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 2.-That MeXi-
co does not expect to be drawn in
the Nicaragua controversy, but will
maintain a neutral attitude, was the
statement made by Senior Mariscal,
minister of foreign relations tonight.
The action of the United States in
severing relations with Nicaragua was
not resented by Mexico, said the for
eign minister, although it came most
unexpectedly at a time when his gov
eminent was awaiting reply to it's
suggested plan for peace. He said:
1--WE do not resent the action of
the United States. Why should we?
We have absolutely no interests in
Central America excepting in Guate-
mala, where there are forty thousand
Mexicans. We are still waiting for
a reply from the United States gov
eminent to our suggestion for an
amicable settlement of the trouble.
"We made the suggestion spontan-
eously because we had not been, as
on several previous occasions, ap
preached by the United States on the
subject of Intervention in Central
America. In view of such advances in
the past we did not consider it dis
courteous to offer these suggestions
in the interests of humanity. What
these suggestions were I am still not
at liberty TO state.
Sensation in Mexico City.
The news of the breach between
Nicaragua and athe United States came
as a surprise and created a great
sensation here today. The situation
was the chief topic of conversation
on the streets and in restaurants and
clubs.
Francisco Castro Nicaraguan minis
ter to Mexico and close friend of
Zelaya, in speaking of the action of
the United States said
II believe it is unjust because the
main cause apparently is the execution
of the two Americans and this action
of my government was sperfectly in
accordance with laws of the country
and was executed by command of 9
military jury and not by direct order
from the president of the republic, as
it seems the purpose of the press tt
establish Once President Zelaya has
disappeared from the Central Ameri-
can scene, it is probable that Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala NAV have
strong mower or control in politics of
that re~ion."

POPULAR GOVERNMENT ON TRIAL

no isolated and impressive episode,
but a long course Of history. Pops
ular government is on trial in a way in
the present so-called factional division
in the republican party.
In two successive elections of presi-
dent the majority of the people have
indicated their demand for certain re-
forms in government. These reforms
can be brought about only by legis-
lation. The power of presidents over
legislation is extremely limited. The
reforms apparently demanded by the
