Neutrality Our First Duty.
tNcW York sun.

tNcW York SUM-
The following deSpatcli was pub
hshcd in the newspapers. If not in
this exact form in all of them. tine
tenor of all was the same:
All doubt as to the purpose OF the
Government in sending 10000 troops
to the Mexican border has at last been
swept away. The United States has
determined that the revolution in the
republic to the south must end.
There is u pernicious tone to this
despatch not warranted by anything
that the President has said or intend
ed to say. The position of the United
States toward the insurrectionists Of
Mexico is the same as the position of
the English Government in 1S63-6i to-
ward the Confederacy during the in
surrection at that time in the United
States, when the LairdS insisted on
building two ironcladS for the South
ern Confederacy for use against the
commerce and coast OF the United
States The position Of the United
States then was that the turning loose
Of these ironclads was an act of war
on the part of the British Govern
ment. Lord John Russell recognized
the contention as sound by prevent
ing the Lairds from turning over the
irOnclads to the agent of the South
ern Confederacy. going so far as to
prevent the Lairds from selling the
ironcladS To Il French shipping firm
which in turn was to resell them To
the agent of the Southern Confcd-
eracy for delivery in French port.
That the United States army is to
be used by the President to maintain
Il falling Government is not possible
But the United States Government is
not only within its rights but within
its duty when it prevents the fitting
out of an expedition on our territory
against the life of that Government
failure to preserve this neutrality
would make the United States respOn-
sible Tor the losses inflicted upon that
Government, as was clearly demon
s.rated by the Geneva award.
President Taft is bound to preserve
neutrality along our border even at
the risk of being misunderstood by
the writers OF scare heads"

Nc small share of the popularity of

that it has been kept free from the

from q letter which the President OF
the National League club of Chicago
has sent to the Chairman of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission. with co.
pies of the circulars of the commits

Il do not know whether or not any

ball. and who hopes to keep it clean
and above suspicion. and who wishes
To prevent any possible gambling and
the scandals which would necessarily
follow IL the wake of such things, | am
sending you this stuff.
That the promoters of gambling on
baseball realize their position is shown
by the tact that they are afraid to do
any business through the United States
mails. and insist that commissions
must be sent by express, telegraph or
telephone, prepaid.
Through recent amendments of the
Interstate Commerce law the express.
telegraph and telephone companies are
un,ior the control of the Federal Gov

An Argument for Capital Punishment

The murderer Cooney Of san Fran
cisco, who listened TO the debate in the
California Legislature on the abolition
of capital punishment. and then after
the bill had passed. surrendered him
self To the authorities, furnished an
excellent argument why capital pun
iShment should not be abolished. He
had committed his murder ON the pre-
ceding day and his visit to the
Assembly Chamber showed that he
had anticipated the bills passage. II
awaits the signature or veto of Gov
ernor johnson.
The strong justification al capital
punishment lies in its deterrent effect
upon Would-be murdcrcrS. Life is
sweet. the prospect Of long years
passed in the penitentiary is always
mitigated by the hope of escape or
pardon. We believe that capital pun
ishment will be eventually abolished.
Through change of the penalty To
life Imprisonment. compassionate
jurics. who arr now constantly per-
lnitting murdcrers to go scot free.
would convict. Moderate penalties
vigorously enforced are far more pro-
tectiVc to society than extreme pen
alties seldom inflicted. In the long
run. the deterrent effect OF the mod
cratt punishment for the crime o.
murder would prove more satisfactory.
But the action of the murderer Cooncy
could not have been more ill-timcd
for the rcformcrs who would over
throw tie rule Of Il life for Il life.
