on THE MEXICAN BORDER.

The which we may hope
is complete-of an incipient insurrection
ilp Northern Mexico gives cause for
qualification. To the United States
above all other countries it should be
cause OF relief. for at least two major
reasons peculiar to this country. One
is. of course that ii assures the con-
tinued tranquility of oUr immediate
neighbor. The other is that thus some
vicious practices along the border, on
our side OF il and almost certainly in
volving some American citizens, are de-
feated and may be punished
This latter consideration may well be
accounted the most important of all. We
can trust Mexico to keep order within
her own domain That is her affair. 1t
is cur affair to keep ourselves void of
offence toward our neighbor. Officially
we have done SO. scrupulousiy and effi-
GENTLY. But some Americans too often
regard it as smart" to engage in file
clustering Or at least to give aid and
comfort to revolutiOnists There are
those who seem instinctively TO regard
all revoluti0nistS as necessarily in the
right. when as n matter Of fact they are
generally in lhe wrong But whether
right or wrong their doings are no legiti-
mate business of ours Remembrance
OF our own resentment of hostile
Vaccinations in Canada during our
Civil War ought TO make all Americans
very chary Of encouraging or harboring
conspirators against the peace and in
tegrity Of a neighboring state.
AS for Mexico, specifically, it certain
ly would not be fitting for us to meddle
in any way with the election of next
Sunday or TO be censorious Of ner po-
litical ways and means There are those
who call President Diaz a tyrant. Per
haps he is; like she Tyrant of the Cher
soIe.e. as depicted by Byron. At any
rate he has given Mexico for the only
considerable time in all her long and
troubled history a stable, orderly, en-
lightened and progressive government,
and has made her a good neighbor TO
the United States. All that we know of
him prescribes that the attitude of this
country toward him and his government
shall be sympathetic and friendly. and

A NOVEL MILITARY TEST.

Several possible objections can be
recognized to the plan for a sham battle
between aeroplanes and war vessel Off
Atlantic City early in July. When the
government subjects new ships to trials
Of speed or holds tests of armor plate,
explosives and ordnance, 1t is accus-
toned TO avoid the publicity which
would attend the proposed combat. In
the next place, this country has not yet
constructed anything like the high
angle, Krupp gun, designed to drive off
airships. Even if the ordinary rapid
fire gun used on war vessels TO repel
torpedo boats could be trained high
enough 10 hit an aeroplane the man
who would aim the piece would need
special practice before engaging in the
contest suggested. Heretofore gunners
In the navy and In coast defence forti-
fications have fired at objects on the
same level as themselves. General Bell

enthusiastic article to George Grey Bar
nard's groups of statuary for the Harris
burg Capitol, exhibited at the Paris Salon,
and protests against the chauvinism that
has withheld from the American sculptor
what it considers his due need Of official
recognition. Quoting the praise given to
Barnard's work by a number of the lead
ing French scuptors the paper asks: Did
not the Society of French Artists owe Mr.
Barnard a gold medal in consideration of
such praise given by such men? AS a mat
ter of fact, eighteen members of the jury
at first agreed that he was entitled to the
distinction, but protest was raised against
this act of justice by clique, the so-called
Free Society," whose aim is the protec-
ton and advancement of the interests of
native French artists. Mr.. Barnard, on
being told of this, Immediately informed
the jury that he would accept no award
of any kind whatever" Has French

cia;ion in Congress as they have outside

NOT IMPRESSED.

Congress does not seem to have been
properly impressed by the rape OF the
great seal of the commonwealth OF OK
lahoma, engineered by Governor Charles
n. Haskell. Its faith in the ability of
enabling acts TO establish conditions I'M
der which the capitals of newly organ
lied states can be safely anchored In
designated spots for certain periods was
not shaken by Governor Haskells re-
moyal of Oklahoma s seat Of govern
ment overnight from Guthrie to Okla
homa City. in spite of the fact that the
act of Congress admitting the forty-sixth
state expressly provided that the capital
should stay in Guthrie until 1913, and
that no election should be held before
that year to select permanent capital.
Haskell, defying writs, state sheriffs
and United States marshals and direct
ing the automobile flight with the
states seal, has neither dazed nor in
timidated Congress.
In the law passed last Saturday ar
ranging for the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico similar conditions
are imposed as TO the retention of the
seat of government at each present ter
ritorial capital The probationary term
is. in fact, made much longer. Santa
Fe is to be the capital of New Mexico
and Fh9nix. Inc capital of Arizona until
1925. No election TO establish perma-
nent capital is to be held until after
that date. Does Congress think that
the conditions will be respected by the
people of the new states if real estate
syndicates get up schemes to establish
two different seats of government and
don't care to wait until 1925 before un-
loading their realty investment? Down
in Oklahoma ena bling acts are not sup
posed to stand in the way of real estate
speculations. Governor Haskell, the
capital mover. has set himself up as a
bigger man than Congress and the fed
eral courts He may or may not find
occasion to revise that selfcOmplacent
measurement. Meanwhile Congress
seems to be confidently taking chances
that neither Arizona nor New Mexico
will be HaSkelliZed.

LAW 4lfONG THE NATIONS.

Justice Browns address to the grad
uating class of the Yale Law School on
Monday was admirably in accord with
the best interna tional peacemaking sen
timent of the time in its pregnant sug-
gestion of the Importance of the jurist's
functions in averting war and In con-
firming peace among the powers. His
suggestion was practically that of an in
version of Ciceros hackneyed phrase so
as TO make it read Silent afntd inter
Icgcs. At least. he urges, law should be
It practical and actual force for the
avoidance of the appeal to arms.
Hitherto the law has played that part
too seldom and too slightly, if at all.
The world has seenspeace imposed for
time by the will of an all but universal
ecclesiasticism and by the major force
of a wOrld-embracing empire. 1t has also
seen war avoided and quarrels settled
through arbitration. But there has been
little application of law in the sense In
which it prevails in the domestic affairs
of states and between individuals. In
deed there has been an inclination to
possibility of such a thing as interna-
tional law. Vattel and Grotius and their
compeers have been regarded as dealing
chiefly in benevolent distractions Not
until comparatively late years has the
practicability of anything like specific
and effective international code been rec
ogniZed. But now such recognition is
generally given.
1t is one of the chief values of a per-
manent international court Of justice
such as that which Secretary Knox has
proposed, over mere temporary tribunals
of arbitration, that it makes directly and
strongly for the development of CO.
herent system of international jurispru-
dence and practice. The organization of
such societies as the American Society
of International Law also contributes
toward the same end And in such
things is the best promise of the peace
of the world. For it is the province Of
law not merely to dispose amicably Of
quarrels and disputes which actually
arise, but also so to order and direct the
relations of sovereign states among
themselves as to ameli0rate them and to
guide them in ways of justice and,
therefore, of peace.
New-York tribune., 1910-06-22

So fully has the value of wireless
telegraphy to merchant ships been de-
monstrated that compulsion might seem
unnecessary to secure Its general use.
On a few ocean-going vessels, however,
this means of signalling for aid In emer-
gencies has not yet been made avail
able. Their owners can hardly complain
of the law just passed by Congress re-
quiring its adoption where fifty or more
Messengers are likely to be in peril at
sea. AS the enactment does not go INTO
effect for a year from July i, 1t cannot
be considered arbitrary.

Another step in the interesting proc
esses of international interchange of uni
versity students was marked yesterday
in the sailing from Liverpool of a party
of British students from Cambridge. Ed
inburgh, London, Durham and other uni
versities for an extended tour of work
and study in North America Their
time will be divided between Canada
and the United States and will be given
to diverse occupations, including work
on farms at Winnipeg, observation OF
the workings of one of our Junior Re
pubIics," investigation of industrial and
corporate conditions at Pittsburg and
study at Yale and Harvard. Such tour
can scarcely fail to be of practical pront'
both to the travelling students and to
the lands in which they travel, in giving
them a more just and accurate concep-
ton of conditions In other countries
