MExIcO'S ATTITUDE
 UNJUSTIFIEO.
Schenectady Gazette)

Mexico has taken offence at the note of the United States in regard to the safety of Americans and de- clines to hold itself responsible for ] whatever Orozco, the revolutionist leader, may do. The latter is answer able to Mexican tribunals, it asserts, and it further complains that the Un- ited States had no right to address him directly.
 It is foolish attitude for the Mad ero government to take. This is matter that does not concern Ameri- can citizens alone. There are other foreigners in Mexico who have been endangered since the present revoll.- tion began and it is not only the United States, but other nations, that are involved.
 Mexico knows, or should know, that had it not been for the Monroe doc Urine some of these other countries would probably have taken steps ill regard to the matter before. They have relied upon the United States, more or less, to adjust it.. It also knows that the Monroe doctrine is a safeguard against European aggres- sion in this continent. It proved to be such in the case of Mexico at the time of our civil war, when Louis Napoleon was forced to abandon his plans for conquering it.
 It sems to be the case that the Lat in-American republics are quite. con- tent to accept the protection which this declaration affords them, but at the same time they are unwilling to recognize the position in which it places the United States in regard to their affairs. Practically, this coun- try is in the position of having oblig- ated itself to see that they treat the citizens and interests of other coun- tries as they should, in return for their being unmoleSted.
 It is a trying state of affairs that confronts the United States. It has given ample evidence of it's friendship for the Madero administration. It desires nothing more than the assur- adce that foreigners of all national ities in Mexico will be protected. It will be satisfied, ultimately, with nothing less and it is becoming ap- parent that, however much war may be deplored-and there is no Senti- ment here in behalf of intervention unless it is absolutely necessary-it will afford them protection by means of it's own troops if such a course is necessary.

LESSONS OF THE SEA.
 (Dichnn Pnuinyy

If a statement by one of the surviy- ors of the Titanic disaster is trde, that liner was sent plunging to death by the orders of the general officers of the White Star line, no punishment could be too severe for the man re- It may be hoped though that while the statement may not be wholly false, it is an exaggeration of fact which however reprehenSible will not likely be repeated soon.
 Owners of transatlantic lines ha -e for many years been catering to the growing demand for greater speed. The faster the liner the greater it's list of wealthy patrons. The Titanic was the last word in luxurious ship building and it was believed that she would lower the record.
 If she should do so, her reputation would be established and the other vessels of the White Star line would baSk in a reflected glory and the Su- premacy which the Cunard line had so long enjoyed would pass to the White Star. The prize was worth striving for, but if it could have been won it would not have been worth the awful price paid for it.
 The general officers of the line through sending the Titanic over that shortest but dangerous course, aware of the presence of floating ice fields, could not have meant that all pre- cautions should be sacrificed to speed. They are sufficiently culpable without that.
 But this tragedy, the worst on rec- ord since men began to go down to the sea in ships" will have a sober ing effect upon the speed-mad public and the ship owners. Travellers, for a time at least, will not risk shorten ing their lives in order that trans Atlantic journey may be shortened by a few hours. Oceanic transportation companies must conclude by this time that this sort of advertising of their lines is too costly and ombinationS in restraint of speed are likely to he formed. The laws of England and America will also likely enforce sucn ombinations.
 Whether or not the disaster will check the growth of ships in size re- mains to be seen. The larger the yes sel, it has been urged the safer-the greater the opportunities for precau- tion. Builders as well as the public had come to believe that ocean going had been robbed of all it's dangers. That was perhaps true as against storms and all accidents of the sea except collisions.
 buI OHe udHSeT grew WltH IHe lengths of the ships. At full speed the Titanic could not have avoided disaster if the iceberg had been sighted two miles away. The earlier and smaller vessels of a generation ago could have avoided it on the brief notice given by the lookout of the Titanic, who saw death at dis tance of only half mile.
 One other result of the tragedy may be an abandonment of the northern route, dangerous at all seasons of the year and especially so during the spring and early summer months.
 If all the lessons taught by the sinking of the Titanic are needed, the hundreds who went down with her have not died in vain.

ARIZONA ON THE MAP.
(Tucson Citizen. ]


 People are Arizona's paramount need. Unless the state is brought to their attention they will go else where. Some Arizonians imagine that because of the matchless climate of this state and it's other attractions that the outside world will be com pelled to come here for one reason or another. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even for the sick there are many refuges in many other parts of the country. Arizona must advertise and compete even with other less favored states in or der to get the share of the tide of population that is moving westward and southward. An excellent oppor- tunity to bring Arizona to the atten- tion of the automobile public is presented in the proposed illustrated road map of the state. A similar book about California has done won ders for that state and it is just the sort of thing Arizona needs. Bisbee, Douglas, and other towns are through their chamber of commerce and public spirited citizens appropriations for this book and Tue son cannot afford to lag behind There is really more of interest around this city to see than around any other in Arizona, and these points should find place in this illustrated road map.

Public Opinion

cated by events since his authority was vacated, his idea is not neces- sarily correct. He could not hold his own against the growing forces of
 liberalism, radicalism, or whatever it was that sprang into prominence in his country. He seemed to have all ideally iron-handed control of Mexico, and yet he went down under the blows which mere civilian with q book, Madero, delivered against his forces. The next more iron-handed sort of regime to his mind would be a bloody one, for which the American people would hardly stand. It may be that Diazs mistake was in not contenting himself with a merely strong government, in not employing the mediate velvet glove over the iron fist. The old president was not man of much tact, else he could have embraced such men as Madero in his administration

DEMOCRATS AND INTERESTS.
(St Louis Republic.)

Friends of Champ Clark will be first to applaud Governor Harmon's indignant characterization of the kind of party warfare which leads one democrat, without proof, to accuse a fellow member of the party of be longing to the interests" In the case of a democrat this charge is peculiarly infamous, if false, for, as MT. Harmon says: it involves mat ters of right and wrong with us and not of mere economics" He con tinued:
 The intimation that I ever was or could be, actively or passively, guilty of this offence, I resent as a slander without excuse or mitigation. I would rather be charged with theft, be- of trust reposed by any countryman and would admit of restitution.
 Republicans not only accept ser vice of the interests as economically justiiable and sound, but their poli- tial philosophy openly indorses it and it is recognised by all the convention alities of their social relations.
 A democrat who is attached to the interests ceases to be a democrat and becomes a traitor and in fact a criminal. In every case of that kind proof must exist. To make the charge on hearsay or suspicion is cowardly and libelous.
 Few democrats in high station have been bolder or more successful antagonists of the interests than Judson Harmon. Such men will be sorely needed in the Champ Clark ad- ministration and no true democrat will seek their destruction now.

SUPPORTS BILL FOR

Senator Ashurst Urged to Do Every Thing to Aid the

Ashurst a. gainst expected opposition in commit tee to the bill which he introduced a few days ago for an appropriation of $150,000 to be used in developing oil, artesian water or gas in Pima county was sent today to Senator Ashurst by the Chamber of Commerce.
 The senator was asked in the com munication to look up the records of oil history in California and to ascertain what constitutes valid To- cation of oil claims and what work is necessary to hold them for the loca- tor; and secondly to investigate in the California records the withdrawal from entry of all supposed oil lands after the development of oil by priv ate capital when the state geologist and the national geological survey had previously declared that the same ground was not oil land.
 We want to avoid the endless con troversies and law suits in which California has been involved" the letter states. Our people say that they are afraid of what the govern ment will do after oil is discovered here"
 The letter further states that Cali fornia and Texas oil operators are an xious that oil shall not be developed in Arizona because of the fact that Arizona industries must have fuel, the operators find that this state is a good field into which to export and sell the product of the Texas and California wells.
 It is proposed that if the govern ment will allow this appropriation for developing oil in Pima county, some method can be devised for repaying the national treasury the amount ap-
