The Mexican Intervention Scare

Recent reports concerning Mexican incarceration originated in the highest official quarters, and there is pretty good reason to believe the President gave some rather stiff intimations to the press, as good many ofthe reports originated from Beverly. Things have been pretty bad in Mexico for long time, but the best official information is that conditions have improved some what, and the complaints form Ameri. cans have diminished Just now all who know the Mexican situation scout the idea that intervention is desirable, and atheconly justification for talk of
 his nature at this time is being traced 'o the exigiences of American national politics.

4 FARM ER'S WAY

When q farmer sees a rat In his corn or oat bin he sticks his pitch fork Into the rat-the rat squeals !" Now the farmer has no special dislike for any individual rat-all rats look alike to him. But just the same he pins the rat every time one heaves m sight with a pitchfork-nor Is the farmer surprised when the rat squeals or tries to bite.
 There is a mighty good text for a sermon in the above statements and in the various walks of life one Is bound 70 encounter rats of some kind or degree, for there are rodents and rodents. and they do not always turn up in oat or corn bins. Those trea- tures travel to the very ends of the world. and their nature Is not to create anything fo themselves but to officer upon what rightfully belongs 10 others.
 The trouble with many being they aIt lOo lhlucE htdA to0 to dPp4y tAiu pitchfork. while others draw back at the snap or attempt to bite. All such should take few lessons from the farmer. who applies the pItchfork first and does his thinking faterward.
 As we have stated there are rats and rats. and one can always tell them from their action They are ieeches upon society they pilfer and do not create. their greatest attempt at labor is to undermine structures. they gnaw at the very vitals. they work In the dark. their time of action being the dark hours Of the night when grave yards yawn, and all good honest creatures are sleeping the sleep of tho just. and so stealthy do they perform their undermining task the noise of the struture when 1t comes a tumbling down being the first ink ling one has of what has taken place.
 The farmer understands how to handle such creatures and he Is ai- ways prepared to pin the rat down when he has located 1t. and after years and wears Of dealing with such

REPUBLICAN, FORECAST.

Mir. Taft had a popular plurality of 1.26S, So4 in the elections If 1908.
 This plurality will have to be over come if a democratic president is elected this fall It means change of .uorc than G0Ooo0 votes.
 The democrats had 162 votes in the electoral college of 1908 They must have 266 votes in the next electoral college in order to win.
 The stereotyped reply to these sts- tistics will be that Mir Bryan was a weak candidate. This is true. In comparison with democratic oportun- itv. MT. Bryan was indeed a weak candidate. but Mir Bryan boiled G. 4e9 1O4 votes. This was 1,3oO.0O0 more than Judge Parker boiled in 1901. Ii was s52.1S6 more than the Cleveland vote in 1892. It has been exceeded only by the vote for Mir. Bryan him. self in 1896.
 Democrats who talk as if the next election would be q walkover do not realize the size of tho republican ma jorities that must be overcome. Roose- velts popular plurality in 1904 was 2,5I5.515 McKinleys popular plurali- ty in 1900 was s49.79O and In 1896 it was 6ot.354 In 1892. the great demo- cratic landslide year Cleveland's pop ular plurality was only 3sO.si0, and yet he had a popular plurality of only 9s,017 to overcome from tbe previous election.
 In four successive presidential elec- tions the republican candidate for president has boiled moro than 7.o0o,- 0Oo votes Mir. Taft was by no means strong candidate in 1908. yet he boiled more votes than Roosevelt re- ccived in 1904. and the brute force of these recurrent republican majorities constitute a tremendous handicap upon any democratic candidate.
 1T the democrats think the nex, election Is as good as won they are sadly mistaken. They have a fight on their hands whether or not MT. Taft is renominatsd
