Border Well Guarded
The border is unusually well guarded
on the American side, Gordon of sol
diers extending from Brownsville to
Eagle Pass.
Detachments are located at Browns
vile and Fort Ringgold. while four
companies of infantry are stationed at
Laredo.
In view of the rumors regarding the
mobilization of an armed force of 200
insurrectionists at Minera, Tex, Mar
shal Brewster wired the war depart
ment at washington today and received
reply that the United States military
forces at Fort Mcintosh would be placed
under orders to cooperate with him.
AS a result he requested that COM
pany of troops be sent to Minera- and
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon Company
A Of the Nineteenth infantry. under
command Of Captain Heaton, departed
by train for that point.
The party near Minera has dwindled,
according to oficial reports received by
the Mexican authorities, from 200 to 10
men, who have worked their way into
Mexico.
Treason in Mexican Army
Incoming passengers on trains from
Mexico have varied stories to tell re-
garding the outbreaks. One passenger
today told a story that there was trea-
son within the ranks of the Mexican
army and that 19 officers had been
shot by order of the Mexican authori-
ties
Reports from the interior indicate
that the Mexican authorities are siren
uously endeavoring to protect Ameri-
cans. and that in many instances the
police as well as the soldiers who are
engaged in the guarding of property of
Americans have been ordered to shoot
down any one attempting to modest

striking illustration OF Too Much of
GOOD Thing.

From the Louisville C1urier-Joir1al.
Publicity is a good thing but Il is not
desirable in all human enterprises. Some
years ago a minister in Southeastern
Pennsylvania broke down under the strain
Of his clerical duties and decided TO go
70 farming He bought a rundown farm
OF fifteen acres and started dairy BUSH
ness. He was so successful that the agri-
cultural papers began TO print articles
about his model dairy farm" The
United States Department Of Agriculture
heard about II and sent a man 70 Penn
sylvania 20 look II over. Then the de-
partment wrote up a history Of the min
listers enterprise and published II as a
bulletin
All this was highly gratifying. no doubt,
TO the minister. but the papers kept on
discussing his farm. until hundreds or
people became possessed OF desire 10
see 1t. Visitors came in such numbers
that II took up all the preachers time
in showing them over the place. They
trampled down his shrubbery. broke down
his gates, damaged his vegetable crops,
and kept the cows in such a continual
state of excitement that the dairy prod
ucts fell OF 10 a remarkable degree. The
preacher simply could not stand 1t. so he
/ sold the model farm and bought a larger
one In more remote locality.
The new farm is being conducted on
/ the same lines as the old one, but its
owner does not want any more publicity.

The Hotspur who perpeTated the out

The Hindoo Problem.

The immigration problem involved in
the coming 10 this country of great num-
bers of Hindoos has not yet become
grave. but it promises 10 become so, If
the mutterings from the Pacific Coast
may be taken as an indication. Indeed
it is always srom the Pacific Coast that
We hear complaints about undesirable
immigration, for il is 10 the Pacific Coast
ports that the Oriental immigrant comes
First of all, it was the fear that the
whole Pacific slope would be overrun
with Chinese; then came. after the
Russo-Japanese war, the influx of Japa-
nese, and no sooner did we succeed in
checking this sort of immigration by
treaty and agreement than here we have
the problem of Hindoo immigration.
In the first place, it must be admitted
that a decided use has been found for
most of the Oriental immigrants that
have found their way in through the
Pacific ports. In the fruit-growing and
packing industries they have proved In
valuable. and in the salmon-canning fac
tories it is said that the Japanese have
almost entirely displaced the white labor.
The work of building and repairing the
railroads in the far West is almost en-
tirely in the hands of the japanese and
Chinese. owing to the low rate OF wages
maid with which however the foreign
laborers are entirely satisfied.
The Hlndoos, however, can beat both
the Chinese and the Japanese at their
own game on our soil. A Hindoc laborer
can live comfortably on So month. his
diet consisting largely of rice and fish.
He has few v:re-. INDUCES in no luxu-
ries. and man for man can outwork
both the Chinese and the japanese, being
content TO work without counting the
hours, and knowing nothing and caring

The Chief Justiceship.

The report is gaining currency in we'll
informed circles OF the administration
that President Taft has about decided TO
appoint Justice and ex-GOv. Hughes Chief
Justice TO fill the vacancy on the Supreme
bench created by the death of Chief JUS
tice Fuller. Action is expected by the
President on his return from Panama.
The country no doubt. would applaud
the elevation of Justice Hughes to the
highest place which any jurist In the
world can reach. In the very nature Of
the Supreme Court, that tribunal must as
sumo and exercise powers which are
semi political. Il is so vital a part Of the
Federal government that II cannot es-
cape eoloring more or less the develop
ment Of American politics and the trend
OF American national life.
Il Is vital. therefore, that this high
tribunal should be in sympathy with the
soundest and most advanced ideals of the
American people. 1t is essential also
that the court should have the respect
and the confidence of the people as an
agency for the Interpretation OF the Con-
stitution and the shaping OF legislation
under the provisions of our organic law.
Justice Hughes has both the under
standing Of popular ideals and the esteem
and trust OF the public, which every JUS
tice needs 10 make his services as valu-
able as they ought 10 be.

From the New Yofk Press.


Wilbur Wright. at the Asbury Park

These daredevils ought to be hurt a
little now and then. 1t teaches them a
lesson. Otherwise they have too much
faith in their luck. Their faith becomes
as ridiculous as that OF Hiram BucktOss.

No Ofense Meant.

The visit Of the American battle ships
to English and French ports without
touching at German stations has annoyed
that nation, which sees in the episode
a deliberate slight.
We cannot subscribe 10 such version.
Certainly no insult was intended Ad-
mlral Won Reventlow's statement, that
"the lack In respect Of courtesy requires
to be registered" seems altogether out
Of place. But in vain we search the
columns of the press of this country for
a plausible reason for the omission of
this international courtesy. Still. the
cause is plain.
The North Sea is one of the most treach-
erous bodies of water in the world. Choppy,
short waves, submerged reefs. a steadily
receding sea. and the danger thus laid
bare to leviathans OF the present day,
and to those who are not absolutely sure
Of the.~ charts and their channels. make

sneered at by wiseacres. il is far better
TO avoid unnecessary danger than Ia
court IT. especially at this time of the
year in northern climes. We should
all know the saying that an ounce OF
prevention is worth a pound OF cure.
No doubt the Emperor understands our
