WAR WITH MEXICO?

| The news dispatches from Washing
ton and Beverly indicate that the ma
| tional administration believes itself
confronted by the possible necessity
of extensive armed intervention by this
country in Mexico for the purpose Of
restoring peace there. The public has
been somewhat startled thereat. 1T
| had thought that danger past.
The turbulent condition of affairs in
Mexico is a matter of common knowl-
edge. The country is being harried by
bands of revolutionists and bandits,
and the Madero government has thus
far been unable to suppress them.
Possibly Americans who have remained
in Mexico are in danger, but long ago
they were warned to obtain safety by
returning to the United States. In this
situation the American people as
whole can see no reason for war with
Mexico, with SIS inevitable sacrifice Of
lives and money-for armed interven-
ton of sufficient extent to restore or
der would probably be resisted by the
Mexican people and that would mean
war in effect if not in name. The pub
lie realizes moreover, that pressure IS
being brought to bear upon the Presi-
dent by financial interests whose heavy
Mexican investments are imperiled.
And neither in that can it see a good
reason for such intervention as seems
to be contemplated.
The Americans on this side of the
Mexican border must be protected.
Those in the interior of Mexico VINO
are non-combatants must be assured
the immunities of non-combatants.
But if this country is drawn into war
with Mexico, the cause must be more
compelling than any that has yet ap-
peared. or it will be in opposition TO
the wishes of the people of the United
States. And they would surely find the
means to make their resentment eff

EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAAEERON

| Two good friends had quarreIed.
One, who is of a passionate DISPOSE
ton, completely lost her self control
! and said many unkind things.
When the thundercIoud of misun-
Outstanding finally passed over and
the sunshine of reconciliation began
to struggle out again, the quick tenn
pered woman told her friend she was
sorry for her bitter words, and then
added cheerfully, And now you'll for
give me and forget all that L said.
won't you?"
Whereupon the other woman an
swered. Forgive you? Yes, indeed,
I'll do that with all my heart, but 1
can not promise to forget because that
is beyond my power"
The first woman called that an un-
gracious and relentless attitude.
Do you?
1 don't. To me it was simply a
truthful answer. Perhaps it might
have been kinder for the woman to
say that she'd forget all about it and
things would be just as they were be-
fore, but it probably wouldn't have
been true. In one of his essays Stew
enson says, ct hate questioners and
questions; there are so few that can
be spoken to without a lie. DO you
forgive me?' Madam and sweetheart,
so far as L have gone in life L have
never yet been able to discover what
forgiveness means. rs it still the same
between us?' Why how can it be?
1t is eternal1y different, and yet you
are still the friend of my heart" 1t
seems to me he should have added
that other question, will you forget
all that 1 have said or done?" for
surely no other question that we fool
ishly and hopefully ask each other is
quite so impossible to answer without
a lie or a very cruel truth.
The woman called her friend relent-
less. That was not fair. 1t is not the
person who can not forget that is re-
Ientless; it is life itself and the laws
of life that are inflexibIe.
1 may no more promise my friend
that will forget anything than 1 may
promise her that a deep cut in my
flesh will heal and not leave any scar.
I may promise that L will put sooth-
ing medicine in the cut and bind it
up and keep it from irritation, and do
all I can to make it heal without a
scar, but I can not surely promise
what will be the result.
Hearts and souls are quite as sensi-
tive as bodies. We would not easily
allow ourselves in a flash of temper
to scar our friends body; why, then,
be so careless with his heart.
Why? Because we think that such
scars can be easily obliterated; be-
cause we think we can say, please
forget" and let that end it.
But we can not.
And the next time you lift the
avelin of an unforgetable word to
east into your friends heart, sup
pose you remember that. Suppose
you stop just one moment before you
speak, and say this sentence over to
Yourself: "Of the unspoken word 1

THE STATE FAIR.

Everybody who was connected in any
way with the creation of the state falr
in all of its stages is entitled to the
heartiest congratulations of the peo-
pie of Topeka and Shawnee county
and all of the visitors at the fair for
giving them and Kansas the greatest
AGRICULTURAL exposition that the state
has ever seen. There was not de-
partment of the fair, even to its many
and varied amusement features which
were of the highest class, that was
NOT on a r.ar with the departments of the
1ons-established and state-supported
fairs in the western section OF the
country. with the possible exception of
the horse exhibition. But this is readi-
w and reasonably explained. Owners of
valuable show horses in other sections
of the country could scarcely be blamed
for cancelIing their entries at the elev-
enth hour because of the terrible horse
endemic that is ravaging through the
state. That the race horse men did not
do likewise is something of a mystery
and the races this year like every
other feature of the fair were superior
TO ANYTHING in that line that had been
seen here. Best of all each and every
exhibitor at the fair went away pleased
with the treatment he had received,
with the crowds that were in attend
ance and with the prospective bust
ness that was assured him.
All this is evidence that the Topeka
state Fair is now an established fact
and that its development along most
lines and in all details Is
certain with each succeeding year. This
means much to Topeka, Shawnee coun-
ty and Kansas, and the officials of the
fair association should receive all pos |
sible encouragement from now on in |
their preparations for the fair of next |
year which will be begun Immediately. |

DEEP LAND-DIVING.

''The most hazardous occupation
known to man." says a recent bulletin
issued by the Bureau of Mines, sis that
of life-saver in the bureau Continu-
ing, according to the Survey, the bull
letin's statements are substantially as
follows:
It is popularity supposed that deep
sea diving has the highest morality
rate among all the dangerous cailfngs,
but it is not to be compared with res
cue work. In the first year of this service
two out of the twenty-four expert
enced miners employed by the bureau
in this desperate work have given their
lives while attempting to save others.
Seven others have fallen unconscious
in the poisonous vapors of the mines
and have been rescued only after the
most heroic efforts.
The mortality rate among Bureau of
Mines rescuers is on this basis eighty
in one thousand men.
With such a fearful record before
them. it might be thought that miners
would hesitate about engaging in such
a business, but this is not the case.
Miners are as brave a body of men
as can be found in any industry, and
those who have been trained in rescue
work by the Bueau of Mines and have
sought employment as Hfe-savers are
imbued with the spirit that they are
engaged in a great work, which prom
ises to materially reduce the death
rate in American mines.
That the life-savers have made a
good beginning is shown in the rec
ords Of the Bureau of Mines. In the
period of one year forty entombed
miners have been rescued directly
through the efforts of the bureaus
men, and perhaps as many more by in
dividual miners who were trained in
rescue work by the Bureau of Mines
Best of all, the federal rescuers have
stopped the death roll among volun-
teer tfe-savers at disasters. In the
past it is said that a rescuer has given
up his life for every man saved. Forty
volunteer rescuers were killed at Han
ma. Wyo., two years ego, trying to save
fourteen entombed men, At the Cher
~ mine fire in Illinois twelve vol
