THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

The platform of the republican can
didates for the city offices is printed
on another page Of today's Repub-
lican. II is a clear and explicit dec
laration of principles and policies
the principles and policies Of honest
men. several Of whom are candidates
for reelection. Those who are up
for reelection naturally speak with
modesty concerning the record they
have made, and they make it plain
that they are content to let this rec
ord speak for itself 1t is, in fact, a
record Of which they may well be
proud As to the policies Of the fu-
ture, the candidates speak with one
voice. The new candidates on the
ticket, like the candidates for re-
election, are sterling citizens. who
have earned the confidence of the
people.
The platform will, we are confident,
be received by the people Of Phoenix
with cordial approval as an admirable
and straightforward pledge of men
who mean what they say. 1t is a
platform which commends itself to
every public-spirited citizen of Phoe-
nix
Considering the exceptionally eX-
celIent personnel Of the ticket, and
considering the very sound platform
on which the candidates stand, we
guess that they will be elected by
much more than the usual republican
majority.

The Human Side of Diaz.

The American boys, Converse and
Blatt, captured and imprisoned by the
Mexican authorities some months ago
as insurrectos, have been released on
the order of President Diaz. The or
der was issued as a gracious favor to
the father of Young Converse, after
the latter had had a heart-to- heart
talk with the aged president of Mex
leo. The elder Converse. at least,
has reason to know that MexicO's
great statesman is a man of heart.
Sundry other Americans in trouble
have learned the same thing. FIRE.

mercy, and so many have heard his

No Encouragement for the Jineoes

Unless there arises such extreme
provocation as to change the temper
of congress, that body will take no
action toward authorizing the presi-
dent to employ force in protecting
Americans on this side of the line
from the flying bullets Of combatants
in Mexico So much has been made
clear by the remarks in the senate
on the resolution offered by Senator
Stone Of Missouri Senator Stone, in
speaking to his resolution, strongly
advocated the granting Of immediate
authority to the president, but the
comments of other senators disclosed
that the Missouri senator had prac-
ticaIly no support.
Senators, especially the members Of
the committee on. foreign relations, to
which the resolution was referred,
deprecated any public discussion of
the question, and rebuked Senator
Stone for taking a step which might
lead TO a rupture of the friendly re-
lations between the United States
and Mexico. II is not to be pre-
sumed that the senate was afraid to
clothe Mr. Taft with the authority
proposed by the Missouri senator. for
senators, as well as the American
people generally, have confidence in
Mr.. Tafts GOODNESS and discretion.
Senators objected because they APP
preciated the fact that the formal
granting of such authority by con-
gress would be misunderstood in
Mexico and would go a long way
toward embroiling the two countries
Within the last few weeks there
has developed at the City of Mexico
a strong party. which is unfriendly
to the United States This party is
opposed to the revolutionists on the
one hand, and on the other hand is
opposed to the government in its

CONSIDERING the Laws,

Governor Johnson of California is
still busy considering and approving
or vetoing the bills passed by the
legislature, although that body ad-
journed several weeks ago. The law
Of California gives the governor am
pie time in which to consider the
avalanche of bills passed in the clos
ing days of a session. and in this re-
spect that state is ahead Of Arizona.
The organic law Of this territory does
not permit the governor to pass upon
bills after the adjournment of the
legislature. Business in the executive
office therefore becomes greatly con-
gested in the closing hours of a leg
islative session; the governor finds
before him a large number of meas
ures which he has not time to con-
slider critically, and the inevitable re
suit is that some bad legislation goes
through and some good legislation is
defeated. 1t has to be largely a mat
ter of guesswork on the governors
part as to whether lengthy bills
which reach him on the last day Of
the session are deserving of his ap-
prevail or not Real progressiveness
has been shown by California, New
York, and some other states in Civ
ing the governor sufficient time to
consider the final measures of a leg
islature after its adjournment.

policy Of friendship for the American
government The leaders of this par
ty know that the strongest card the
Diaz government could play would be
an appeal to the patriotism Of all
Mexicans against American agrees
sion" Were President Taft TO send
our troops across the line to stop a
Mexican battle, the act would in
stantly inflame the Mexican people,
and war between the two nations
would be well nigh unavoidable; and
were congress to formally authorize
the president to take such a step, the
effect might be the same on Mexican
sentiment as if the authorized force
had been already used. The anti
American party in Mexico would i'm
mediately take advantage of the stu
alton. and General Diaz and his cabi-
net would have difficulty in with
standing the pressure of our enemies.
Cool-headed senators were acting with
"a fun knowledge of these facts when
they sent the Stone resolution to the
committee pigeonhole.
This policy of congress-with which
President Taft is in full accord-does
not imply that our government will
relax its vigilance in doing every
thing practicable short of force to
prevent a repetition of the Douglas
incident. Nor does the policy have
any relation to the law of nations on
the subject. 1t is, simply. a policy of
sincere friendship for the Mexican
people, and is the outgrowth of a
general American sentiment against
using our tremendous power arbi-
trarily against a weak neighbor.
SO far as international law is con-
cerned-which, after all. is only the
law Of might and precedent modified
by a regard for the opinion Of the
world-the United States government
would be well within its rights if it
should insist that the hostile opera
tiOns in Mexico must be carried on
at a safe distance from our border:
for every government is exercising a
recognized right when it protects the
lives and property of its own citizens.
There is. in fact, abundant precedent
for such a course as Senator Stone !
The latest instance. we
believe was furnished by the Turco- |
Grecian war Of a few years ago. |
when the great powers of Europe |
forced the combatants to confine their |
conflict to a defined zone If we
should order Mexico to "localize" her |
war we would be following European |
precedent. and would be using a word |
which is already familiar to inter- |
national law. In short. it is not a |
question of our right in the premises,
but a question of what is wise on
our part, and justice to Mexico under |
the trying circumstances in which
that nation finds itself
The jingo party in Mexico may Yet
force the two countries into ia I'M
friendly, if not dangerous, situation, |
in the event that the peace negotia-
tions with General Madero are not
speedily successful Our statesmen |
are taking a wise course in giving
the Mexican jingoes no excuse for
forcing the Diaz government.
