SONORA CRISIS MAY
FORCE INTERVENTION.

FORCE INTERVENTION.
How much longer will Uncle Sam
allow the filtration between the fed
erals and rebels to continue in Sonora
while American enterprises remain
idle in that state There has not been
a train over the Nacozari railroad for
nearly three weeks and like eondi-
ton prevails on the Southern Pacific
lines reaching Cananea and the coun-
try south of Nogaies Campo has
declared that the Southern Pacific can
run no more trains south from No
gales until after he has dislodged the
Madero government at Hermosillo
and Rojas last week made a similar
threat against the NaoozaIr railroad.
Unless the Mexican federal troops
adopt a more determined and active
policy it begins TO look now like the
rebels viii completely sack and dom
mate Sonora as they did the state
of Chihuahua. Certainly they will if
the federal government and federal
army continue the dilly dallying poll
cies which has characterized them
since General Pasqual Orozco started
the present trouble.
The United States government has
been patient while its citizens suf
fered in Mexico. but the belief is
growing that President Taft will not
much longer hold our troops to this
side Of the border line while destruc-
ton of American property and enter
prises continues in Mexico with the
Mexican government only promising
protection but do nothing to make
these promises good
A correspondent writing last week
from the City of Mexico says that at
Mexico's capital the condition on the
border is regarded as being to tersa
that a crisis is momentarily expected
Continuing this correspondent, who
writes to the Boston Financial News
says:
The changes in the situation in So
nora are so Kaleidoscope that it is
impossible to foretell from day to day
what may develop. Should Americans
and one Of the numerous mining
camps fall into real danger and be

MANHATTAN NEWSPAPER CLAMOR.

STaHE Mysteries IN which most of the newspapers in Manhat
Ill tan have INDUCED over the case of shooting of gambler
s# Rosenthal do little credit to metropolitan journalism
which has not had much character. anyhow, for calm and dis
passionate treatment of things. A man was shot down in a
public place; he had given information about the graft of a GER
tain police officer in connection with gambling places. He had
enemies among the keepers of gambling dens, and from this
class stepped his assassins. A suspicion arose that the graft
ing police officer compromised by the gambler victims state
ment had a hand in the assassination, but there was no evidence,
nor is there yet. But certain newspapers raised the mob cry:
"Crucify him, cruelty him. as if vague suspicion was guilt. II
is within the range of possibility that Lieutenant Becker insi-
gated the assassination of Rosenthal, and that is all. But shall
a man be hanged on a mere possibility? Shall he be branded
with guilt even before he is accused and before there is a
scintlla of proof of guilt? And isn't assassination of character
quite as bad as physical assassination?

A THIRD PARTY IN NEW JERSEY.

en1HE Progressive State convention at Asbury Park yester
III day took the consistent and courageous course. If there
was to be a new party it must have an individuality and
character wholly its own. The immediate provocation for the
movement also forbade any kind of compromise. The Progress
sie organization takes its stand upon the declaration that the
Chicago convention did not nominate a candidate and that Mr.
Taft was foisted upon the ticket by chicanery and fraud. The
Progressives likewise repudiate the Chicago platform. In this
renunciaton they burn their bridges behind them. The Re-
publican party organization knows them no more. The new
party ticket, therefore, will include national and State candi
dates nominated in Progressive primaries and there will be no
commerce with the old party managers. What has now been
accomplished in New Jersey will be witnessed in all the States
and, for national organization, at Chicago on August 3. 1t is a
momentous event in our national life, the scope of which is now
beyond human ken, and is destined to have an enormous infu-
ence in the politics and affairs of the country.

A STATE MUNICIPAL POLICE.

MONyERTNG the New York. police force into a State
" department, as urged by the World, would be a poor
way to remedy existing conditions and it would be a
gross violation of municipal home rule. A metropolitan police
was established in Manhattan years ago and it became so often
siye that public sentiment revolted and the Legislature abol-
ished the system. Nor would the World now be advocating
state control if the paper wasn't hostile to the present munich
pal government. The example of London, referred to by the
World, isn't applicable to an American city. The British
metropolis is England in miniature, it is the seat of government,
us Washington, d. G., is; it contains the residence of the
sovereign and the houses of Parliament. 1t is the seat of the
Judiciary and the garrison centre for Great Britain. New York
city is not even the capital of New York State and it possesses
no governmental character. AS well establish a State police in

swiNDLlNG THROUGH THE MAILS.

TN ROBABLY the estimate of 100000 900, the amount
stated by Postmaster-G General Hitchcock as flched from
people by 1,063 swindlers using the mails who have been
arrested at various times, is too low. And these criminals com
prise only a few of the number using the mails for fraud. Half
a billion dollars would not cover the losses to individuals by the
arts of swindlers of this class. And the cruelties inflicted upon
thousands of innocent people have been worse than the losses.
Heartless receptions have been practised on patients with in
durable diseases, and in many cases deaths have been caused by
dependence on worthless or poisonous nostrums. The punish
ment of indicted and convicted swndlers has in few cases been
adequate, judges usually imposing moderate fines instead of Jail
sentences

pERpETUATING A WARTIME MYTH.

n T is a farcical idea to plant an apple tree at Appomattox on
II the site of the one under which Lee, according to an old
tradition, surrendered to Grant and which has been carried
away by souvenir hunters. Grant himself in his Personal
Memoirs long ago put the apple tree in the mythical class. The
only foundation for the story, as he explained, was that when a
member of his staff met Lee before the negotiations the Con.
federate chief was sitting under an apple tree. The proposition
is to have Governor Wilson plant the successor to the tree upon
which SO much sentiment has been wasted. The Governor, as a
historian, might better decline to be made a party TO perpetual
ing a myth.
