An instance of the abnormal conoi-

Of the profitable status of the sugar

the fact that sugar lands i'm Porto Rico

losses would follow, although il is an
open question whether or not these
losses would not be more important In
determining the issue than the inter

the continental United States
Porto Rico claims that it is Yielding
many important returns To the United

1actured goods, and that buying its

claims that il paid an additional 81

INTERPRETATIONS DANGERS

Editor FL Paso Herald.
/ see in the Times that kilograms are
being sent to president Taft asking
for armed intervention in Mexico and
that the said paper itself is repeatedly
clamoring for armed Intervention.
To my mind an armed Intervention
at this stage of the game would be
deprecable. We are not justified to
take that course. There is a revolu-
ton raging In Mexico. such s has been
the lot Of almost every country at Ger
tain stages Of its development, and
naturally the country suffers. lives are
sacrificed, traffic is interrupted. indus
tries are being crippled. commerce
stagnated. and Americans suffer in
common with the people amidst which
they live.
But, judging from newspaper re-
ports, peaceable Americans have not
been especially mOlested. on the con-
trary they have been given a wide
berth wherever they are found and
any depredatiOns committed against
them by bandits and marauders, who
take advantage Of the chaotic condi-
lions Of the country, should not be
laid at the door of either. OF the war
ring factions. they have not been suf-
ficient to call for armed intervention.
Besides armed Intervention, whatever
the motive may be viii. at this stage
OF the game, smack too much of a de-
sire OF forced acquisition of territory
War IS hell" and we should not
talk Of it SO lightly We should not
preclpitate 1t nor underestimate its
consequences. II the United States or
some other power wants to amicably
tender its good offices to straighten
out their differences, I for one believe
that the warning factions, every one
OF them, would be willing, yea eager,
to accept it.
We have our representatives in con-
gress and II is their prerOgattve and
duty to pass on such a mOmentous
question as war and ii is best for us
TO let them work out the problem
without interference from us
