There seems to be no opposi.
ton to the candidacy of DR.. c.
M. Jones for mayor another term.
The fact that there has been
more public improvements dur
ing the present administration
than ever before in the entire
history of the city is a big factor
as to why he should be reelected.
So far no opposition to the doc
tors candidacy has been heard of,
and we are glad Of it. There is
a lotof unfinished business to be
looked after, and he is just the
man to do it. Again, we say, il
is a good idea to make his selec-
tion unanimous. His admins
tration should be endorsed with
another term.

1t seems to be very generally
believed that there will be a
tariff put on foreign zinc ores,
but that the tariff will not be
heavy enough to be of very much
benefit to the producers of this
district. A great effort is going
to be made to have the tariff big
enough to assure a price of not
less than forty dollars per ton
for the product of this district.
If this is done, the southwest
district will be the busiest place
in the whole country, and a big
impetus to the mining industry
will be the result.

other trades represented at the hear.

against the continuance of high pro

on the members of the committee the
burden of decision. The result of

BY ME- xCO AND
UNITED STATES
Joint Intervention in Central
America Imminent.
in INTEREST OF PEACE

Last Pact Between WarIke Republics
Was an Agreement to Refrain From
Hostilties and Submit All Quar-
rels to Arbitration--Duty of United
States and Mexico to See Terms
Enforced.
Washington, March 15.-The possi-
bility of joint intervention by America
and Mexico in the interest of peace in
Central America is believed to be now
under serious consideration. The
question at issue is the exact extent
of the obligation imposed upon the
two larger republics under the terms
of the last Central American peace
pact. America and Mexico were not
parties to this agreement, although
they were largely instrumental In
bringing it about. The five Central
American republics agreed to refrain
from hostilities and submit any quar-
rels between themselves to arbitra'
tiun. Such agreements have been
made before, but they never have had
any very great binding force. To
remedy that fault In preceding agree
ments in the case of the last conven-
ton 1t was made the duty of America
and Mexico to see that its terms were
lived up to. 1t will be under that
stipulation, If at all, therefore, that
intervention will be based.
A natural outcome of the with
drawal of American Secretary of Le-
CATION Gregory from Managua would
be the retirement from Washington of
Senior Espinosa, the Nicaraguan min
lister to this capital. But OF course he
would rot be likely to act on his own
