DEATH TO AMERICANS!

The childish talk of Senor AZcona,
confidential secretary to President
Madero, that If the United States
troops cross the border of Mexico, all
Americans in Mexico will Immediately
he assassinated, is too absurd for no.
tico. Doubtless, however, some Amer
leans would be killed on such an
by reason of that threat. 1t Is quite
true. we suppose, that a good deal or
the unrest in Mexico Is because Amer
leans have invested great deal Of
money there, in mines, and are MAX
ing some money out of their invest
mcnts. The ignorant and stupid Mex
leans. who would never have thought
Of such mining operations as the Amer
leans carry on, grind their teeth IN rage
when they see the Americans making
money out of what they consider to be
their natural wealth and heritage. But,
since they themselves could not extract
that wealth and would not make use
of that heritage, AS they have not done
in the four hundred years which they
have allowed those natural resources
to lie idle, they really have no Just
cause of complaint The justice or in
Justice Of the complaint, however, cuts
no figure with ignorant greed, and
doubtless with such declarations as Sec
rotary Azcona makes. there would be
sufficient warrant in the minds Of ig.
norant fanatics 10 Justify them IN as
sassinating Americans where they had
the opportunity, and robbing them with
supposed impunity.
The United States has no desire in
the least to intervene in Mexican af-
fairs; this has been made abundantly
manifest from the first. SO that a
threat of this kind is not only bar
barous bravado, but is an international
insult. and it would be we'll for the
Government of the United States, if
President Madero's confidential secre.
tary has, in fact. uttered such senti-
ments as these, and docs not desclaim
them, to demand what is meant. If
anything of that kind is policy which
J. Icolucnl -hdNeTo ndS III view, inc
United States should lose no time in
developing the fact; if it is not the
Madcro policy, then the disclaimer
should be immediate and emphatic.
But, while having no desire what
ever to intervene in Mexican affairs,
the United States is fully justified in
protecting its own border, and in
warning all concerned that they must
not shoot across the huc and imperil,
wound, or kill Americans in their
own homes on American soil This
is clearly our right. II is clear,
ly our right TO have neutral
zone established In which fighting
shall not he permitted, and if this neu.
tral zone is disregarded, then it is our
right TO protect our own citizens even
to the extent of crossing the line and
arresting those guilty Of the offcuse
of invading United States territory
with their death-dealing bullets. If
Mexico should construct such protective
measures as these to be intervention
in Mexican affairs and should slaugh.
ter Americans on account Of il. then it
would be all the worse for Mexico.

TO START PARCELS POST.

The recommendation of Postmaster
General Hitchcock, approved by Presi.
dent Taft, for the experimental and
limited Introduction of the parcels post
as an adjunct of our mail service. has
been put III the form OF bill which is
now pending in Congress. This pre-.
liminarv trial is designed 10 cover only
the rural delivery routes, and il is made
TO continue for but two years, pending
more thorough investigation OF rhc
proposition to extend the parcels post
service throughout the whole country.
The provision Of the bill covering this
point reads as follows:
That on each aud all rural mail do
livery routes II the United states until
june 80, 1914. the postmaster 3t the
starting points Of such route shall re-
ceiNe and deliver 10 the carrier car
ricrs OF said route all articles. parcels or
packages not prohibited TO the mails by
law and failing under the definition OF
fourth class matter and not weighing in
excess Of II pounds, Tor transport alton
and delivery on said routes only; and Tho
carrier shall receive AZ intermediate e
points on all rural routes such mail mat p
ter Of ibe fourth Clsss for delivery on
-
shall b. paid on all articles, parcels, or
packages entitled 10 transportation Un-
der the provisions Of this act as mat =
trg of the fourth class on rural mail de-
livery routes only at The following rates
ono cent Tor each two ounces OF loss. :
cents for moro than TWO ounces. but not
more than Tour ounces. : cents for more
than four ounces but not more than
eight ounces. cents Tor more than eight
ounces. but not more than twoll G
ounces; cents tor more usn twelve
ounces. but not more than y pound: =
cents per pound foT each additional
pound OF fraction thereof up 60 auJ In .
Guiding total or eleven pounds.
II is probable that this provision will
be Incorporated in the bill. and the ex.
pertinent tried. IL is wise to limit this
experiment in the way proposed, both
as TO the services covered and AS 10 the
time in which the experiment. shall be
made. The main thing is 70 get the ser
vice started, aud 10 give the people of
the United States An opportunity TO
see whether they wish 20 be put in
limited degree in as favorable po.
sition with respect TO their own postal
service as they already put foreigners
in the use of the United States mails.

ride the bear on prospecting trips. One
day the prospector was riding up an
arroyo when he ran plumb into band
OF six full grown and untamed silver

all showed fight
The prospector dismounted from his
ia me bear, unslung his trusty rifle. and
after a terrific battle six bears, one
after another, bit the dust. Then he
mounted his own bear and proceeded
on his way, but he hadn't ridden more
than mile when he noticed De
