A TERRIFIC
BATTLE ON
The BORDER
MEXICAN PATRIOTS HORRIBLY
SCRATCHED BY A BARBED
WIRE FENCE THROUGH WHICH
THEY HRROICALLY FOUGHT
THEIR WAY TO THE AMERICAN
SIDE AND SAFETY.

Andrade. Calf, Feb. 22-Highly
elated at their success in displacing
the federal garrison without loss on
their side, an insurgent force OF
about % men, many Of them Ameri-
cans, today held revelry in Algodones,
across the Mexican line from An
drade.
The insurgents made their first ap-
pearance before Algodones last night.
They rode in on an Inter-C California
railroad train which they had cap
tured near Packard, Mexico. Before
the train came to a full stop, the in
surgents leaped to the ground and
fired one volley as the Mexican off,
cials rushed pell NELL across the
boundary line.
Cecizila Cara, chief of the rurales,
was instantly killed and Thomas Be-
lendez, chief of the Mexican custom
house was wounded in the leg. With
the exception of scratches from an
unfriendly barbed wire fence, through
which they plunged, the other feder-
alists escaped injury, No insurgents
were hurt.
Insurrectos picked up all guns in
sight, set fire to the Mexican custom
house, burned it down and also fred
the residence of the inspectors.

title of "repeaters" that is cases
where more than one came from the
same house. This class was legion.
Two calls from one house for the
same mail were extremely numerous,
three quite common, and in frequent
cases four and even five. 1t was
really these classes which swelled
the call and made it look so impor-
tant So taking in all these classes,
the call was estimated at averaging
three thousand AS soon as the pub
tic became aware that there was a
desire to close the windows, the call
voluntarily fell off one-half, and by
the time the ministers had fairly
started their campaign, it is estimat-
ed that the call was averaging about
700 AS stated, the order from the
department provided that the public
be allowed to call for one hour at
the general delivery windows for
emergency" mail. Our postmaster
construed this to mean that if a citi-
zen came to the window, made the
statement that he was expecting a
letter from a certain place, that was
Of vital Importance, and was willing
to wait till it could be hunted from
the carriers mail, same would be de-
livered. The effect of this order was
problematic and we were much sur
prised to find that only 3S took ad-
vantage of this on the first morning.
Since then it has gradually dwindled
till it now averages about twenty.
In other words, out Of a call
of 5000 habitual Sunday callers
only an average of between 3S
and 20 consider their Sunday mail
of enough Importance to make a
slight effort to obtain it. AS to the
success from the postoffice stand
point there is absolutely no question.
The much-feared tie-up of mail on
Monday morning has not material
ized. From the standpoint of the
business man there is absolutely no
complaint. Both of our representa-
tive bodies stand ready to endorse
the move as being a success beyond
their expectations, and it speaks well
that not a single complaint has been
received from representative busi-
ness man"
If Colorado Springs finds the SER
vice satisfactory after such careful
trial, surely Salem will not be back
ward in granting this delayed right tC
her carriers and clerks. 1t is natur-
\ ally the part of the ministers to take
the initiative in such a worthy step
and doubtless the ministers of Salem
will proceed to make good"

VICTORIA IS

GOVERNMENT

DAYS WITHOUT OFFICIALS TO
SIGN CONTRACTS OR PAY
BILLS-SHOULD SAVE VACA-
TION STAKE.
[UNITHD PRESS LnAHnD w1Rn.l

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 22.-As it
will require at least 80 days to revise
the voters list, Victoria will be with
out officials to sign contracts or
pay bills during this time as a result
of Supreme Judge Gregory's de-
cision unseating the mayor, 1t was
supposed that the same decision car
ried an order unseating the alder
men, but examination today reveals
the fact that no action was taken
on similar petition against them.
The aldermen met with the city's le-
gal department last night, and, after
learning that each will incur pen
atty of $50 for each time he sits as
an official, in addition to a fine Of
$500, when, knowing he is dis
qualified, they decided to take no
chances, In consequence they, as a
body approached the legislature to-
day. and asked that their past acts
be made legal,
Judge Gregorys decision was
based on the allegation that the
election Of the officials was not le-
gal, because the voters list had not
been compiled according to law.

THE OREGON
SOCIETY OF
ENGINEERS

The Oregon Society of Engineers
held its first annual meeting Febru-
airy in the commercial club rooms
at Portland
The following officers were elected ::
Pres. D. G. Henny, vice president; ;
%. s. Coldwell, w. R. King, and W. H,
Corbett, treasurer; F. A. Naramore,
secretary; G. L. Bliven.
The society enrolled at the start a
larger active membership than any
other engineering society on the Pa
cific coast.
The aims of the society, as set
forth in the constitution, are to ad-
vance the science and practice of en-
gineering and architecture to main
tain high professional standard
among its members, and to Oragnize
engineering opinions in matters of
public interest.
An invitation is extended to all en-
gineers in the state to become men,
bers; the initiation fee being sus-
pended until March 9th to enable all
to join upon an equal basis.
The question of permanent quar-
ters, which are expected to include a
lecture room, reading room, etc, is to
be considered in the near future.

Hutchinson, clergyman Of this city,
and now field secretary of the Rocky
Mountain District Of the Lords Day
Alliance, had occasion to inquire in
to our condition regarding Sunday
work and was much surprised to find
conditions as above described. He
spoke of the matter to the Minister
ial Association of our city, which at
once became interested and appoint
ed committee to meet with a COM
mittee from Branch 304 with a view
to doing something to relieve the
situation. The result of this meet
ing was the launching of movement
to absolutely close the carriers win
dows, a move thought by many to be
extremely radical and impossible of
accomplishment The ministerial
committee entered into the matter
with great zest and on a certain Sun
day in May, the ministers and priests
of practically every denomination,
called their congregations attention
to conditions at the postofiice and re-
quested the church-going people
(who it was estimated formed over
half the calD to refrain from calling
at the postofice.
Petitions we're then circulated at
the churches and throughout the city,
some of our representative merchants
even placing them on their counters.
Then began the campaign of bringing
the matter before the commercial
bodies, labor unions fraternal So
cieties, women's clubs, etc, with the
result that the movement met with
endorsement everywhere. TIL circu-
lators of the petitions found no diff
culties in getting the desired num-
ber of signers.
After these were obtained, the pc
titions were sent into the depart
ment, with the result that the car
riers' windows were ordered closed
at once and provisions made to keep
the general delivery windows open
for one hour, allowing the general
public to call during that hour for
emergency" mail out of the carriers
boxes, This was put in effect last
July and has proven a success in
every sense, as perhaps the following
will show
Under the old system it is conser-
vatlvely estimated that an average of
three thousand persons called at the
carriers window every Sunday morn
ing. OF course, as the investigation
brought out, many of these were
children who merely called because
they we're allowed to do so, misses
and youths who came simply to be in
the Sunday promenade and a class
who earned among the carriers the

Now that the first steps have been
taken toward securing the dlscontin-
uance OF the Sunday mail service to
the end that the carriers and clerks
may have day Of rest, perhaps the
following extracts from a letter by a
resident Of Colorado Springs may be
Of particular interest, especially as
Colorado Springs was the first place
to put the plan into operation:
Some idea OF what the closing Of
the carriers windows meant to us
may be gathered from the fact that
never in the history OF the office had
the carriers had a full day off from
duty except during their vacation
period; never a day when they could
plan trip to the beautiful canyons
and mountains at our very door and
which are famed the world over;
never a day when they could seek a
complete change from the monoto-
nous early rising and hastily swal-
lowed breakfast; never a day when
they could absolutely worship as they
saw fit; never a day when they could
say, This is a day of rest, a day to
recuperate some Of the waste energy
Of last week and prepare for the COM
ing weeks grind" What this means
can never be known to anyone ex-
cept the man who has put in years
of steady grinding in the treadmill of
postofiice work.
There we're many who thought that
Colorado Springs, owing to local
conditions, was one of the least desir-
able cities in the country to inaugur-
ate this movement, but the fact that
II has proven success in every
sense would make II appear that with
little effort and presentation Of
facts to the public, few cities would
find great difficulty in having the
windows closed.
To answer the oft-repeated Ques-
tlon as to how we proceeded to ac-
compllsh the desired results, perhaps
q short review would be In place.

case is now before the Supreme
Court of the United States. In
this case a monopolistic corpor-

cape a tax on it's franchise has
appealed to the federal court.
The tax was authorized by a

it on the ground that it believes
that the clause in the Federal

AS TO RESTRICTIONS,
CHECKS AND BAL
ANCES

Because democracy will not
put property above person, the
interests that defend property
in persons are those that OPP
pose democracy. The whole
theory of restrictions and
checks and balances upon the
popular will belongs to the age
of chain armor and stage coach
es, and the divine right of kings
and other relics of feudalism.
1t is much safer and entails less
suffering for the majority to
learn by making mistakes than
to be tutored and robbed by an
exploiting minority. The only
check that should be laid upon
the popular will is the results of
it's actions. "A. M. Simons, in

CRY OF "GOOD MEN IN
OFFICE" DOES NOT
MEET ISSUE

The Boston Common is an eX-
cellent editorial antidote to the
notion, still prevalent in the East
but well out of the fight in the
West, that all we need to make
government good is to elect
good men to office, This plan
has been pretty well tried out"
in the West, and with no good
results other than a sort OF
"whitened sepulcher" effect; and
experience with it in the East,
however good it may seem there,
doesn't look so good at this dis
tance.
Wherefore we say that the
Boston Common is a good anti
dote in the East; it is not fooled
by the plutocratic slogan of
good men in Office" " Good
men don't necessarily mean good
measures, it warns its readers,
for many good men stand for
very bad measures"
So The Common advocates Di-
rect Legislation, and that it does
it vigorously this quotation
shows:
When the people can vote
measures up or down on
their merits it won't matter
so much whether the men
in the representative assem-
blies are good, bad or aver
age-there can be no betrayal
Of the public welfare without
the people knowing it. And
they can quickly correct
their own mistakes"

AN ARGUMENT THAT
SLOPS OVER TOO
MUCH

That judges would degenerate
into mouthpieces of the mob if
subjected to popular recall, is
an argument which proves too
much for the purpose. If that
is the moral makeup of our
judges, they would degenerate
into Office boys of corporations
without the recall; and of the
two, mouthpieces of the mob are
preferable on the bench to cor
poration Office boys.
And what is this mob that
would recall crooked judges?
Isn't it the same lot of folks who
decoriously vote on election day?
And wouldn't they vote as
thoughtfully and decoriously on
the recall of a judge as on the
election of a President? But
when Mr.. Taft wants votes, he
doesn't speak of the citizenship
of the country as a mob, no mat
ter what he may think. By the
way, what does he think on that
point? Are the voters on cleo
tion day a mob in his mind, and
is he only playing the game and
concealing his contempt when
he addresses them coaxingly?-
