ACTION ON RECIPROCITY.

SO far the Democrats have made
good use Of their controlling power in
the national House. The doubts
raised by the speech of Mr.. Clark
when he took the chair and INDUCED in
the customary perfervid oratory have
been erased by prompt and business

ure The expected movement for the
purpose Of enlargtng the general free
list is developing, but it is not inter-
ferlng with the progress Of the reel
procity bill
The opposition to the reciprocity bill
has slmmered down for the most part
to the utterly unimpressionable stand
patters. who do not care what the peo-
pie want and to the so-called insur-
gents representing the cereal belt.
The standpatter is clearly behind the
times and the defender Of special in
terests must reckon with the popular
demand for legislation affording relief
to the majority Of the people.

A CRITICAL SITUATION.

The Mexican situation, so far as the
United States is concerned, is critical
now. Both the Federals and Insurrec-
tos have ignored the warning of Pres
ident Taft not to fire across the bor-
der into American territory. During
the battle at Aqua Prieta yesterday
many bullets found their way into
Douglas, just across the line, and a
number Of Americans were wounded
President Taft has done everything
within his power to prevent injury to
American lives and property without
success, and it is now up TO Congress
TO say whether the circumstances are
sufficiently grave to warrant inter-
vention and its consequences.
The question Of Intervention is a
serious one. and Congress no doubt
wiz act carefully in the matter and
avoid sending American troops into
Mexico If possible. Intervention would
meet with the disapproval Of both the
Federals and Rebels. both Of whom
would vigorously oppose any such in
vasion. But the greatest danger Of all
would be TO Americans and American
property m Mexico, which so far have
received fair treatment from both the
Mexican soldiers and Insurrectos.
Intervention would put Americans
in the southern republic in a very dan
gerous position, and much American
blood would be sacrificed before our
troops could restore order. Then, too.
an invasion Of Mexican soil would be
likely to dissipate all the good feeling
that years Of careful diplomacy has
created between the United States
and the Latin-American countries.
