action on the part OF our govern
ment. The Madero revolution cost

nothing OF the trouble and anxiety.
It is not certain we would bear as
patiently with another border war

Madero avows his intention Of
using the iron hand against

should II attempt It's alleged purpose
OF deposing him and taking over the
reins OF state, That is no more than
his inastrious predecessor did when
he gained control and when he re-
sisted its surrender. suppose Madero
is attacked from these three corners
OF opposition in Mexico, from the
adherents OF Reyes, Gomez and Ia
pata, which, in the end. will embrace
practically all the ti-Maderistas.
Will he be able TO repel them? Is the
following he built up In his recent
conquest firm and faithful enough
for that? Did this young leader, ris-
ing out OF the ranks OF the anti-DiaE
party and overthrowing this old
power. win over to himself all the
old elements OF his vanquished foe,
so as to accumulate strength suffl-
Client to stand out against the COM
bined assault OF new foes?
Tho United States government
manifestly is taking no chances on
the cohesive power OF the Madero
party. Il has backed up the aggressive
action OF the Texas governor in sta
tioning a vanguard along the border
as a warning to Mexican forces. It
gives every reason 10 believe that it

Its Larger Significance.

While Omaha has been officially
designated as tho headquarters OF
the new railway mail service di-
vision comprising the states OF Ne
braska, Wyoming and Colorado, for
which congress made provision ef-
fectiye July I last, the reorganiza-
ton in progress in the department
has retarded the actual work of
inaugurating the new division,
which, however, seems now to be ap-
proximate.
II Is doubtful IL many people here
realize what the establishment Of
this new mail service division with
headquarters here means, or ap-
preciate the added prestige II will
give by accentuating Omaha as a
traffic center 1t is not so much the
local Office force that will be main
tained, nor the reporting here of
several hundred postal clerks, but
rather the Importance OF the di-
visional arrangement of the Postof-
flee department, which is constantly
growing and spreading out The
railway mail service headquarters
means recognition of Omaha as the
natural and most economical operat-
ing point for postal business I'm the
territory included within the three
states named.
The action OF the great business
army OF the government which con-
ducts the postofilce ought in this
respect to have q tremendous infiu-
ence upon the great private business
organizations that cover the entire
country that must work in territorial
subdivisions through branch houses
or agencies. II Omaha is the pre-
eminent vantage point for the post
office in the tributary territory, the
same considerations must, and
should, govern a great corporation
for example, one for the manufacture
and distribution OF automobiles, or
for the handling of agricultural i'm
plements, or for selling the thousand.
and-one industrial products that
look to the whole country for their
market. Omaha ought to be the d.
vislonal headquarters city for all the
big business institutions that supply
trade in this and surrounding states,
That Is the larger significance OF
omaha's new railway mail service
headquarters.
