United States Will Not Seek

This Country

Houston. Tex Jan. 15.-1n all
probability the fate of General Ber-
nardo Reyes. under arrest in Mexico
on charges Of melting rebellion. will
be left alone to Mexico without
American interference. Although
Reyes faces charges in the United
States of violating the neutrality laws,
the United States will not seek to
prosecute because of the belief Mexico
has more grave charges to press.
This action Of hands off on the part
Of the United States became known
following the capture of Reyes in
Mexico, when Lock Mcdaniel of Hous-
ton. United States district attorney for
this district. wired the attorney gen.
eral at Washington for instructions
looking to the extradition of the aged
Mexican prisoner to the United States
for trial on the neutrality law charges.
Reyes had been arrested in Texas on
charges of violating the neutrality
laws by melting rebellion in Mexico.
He was released on bond. but later
disappeared. Hisw hereabouts were
unknown until he surrendered in
Mexico.
The Mexican law is severe against
insurrectionists, tho maximum penal
ty being death or life imprisonment.
Ten years in prison would be equival-
ent to life Imprisonment for the

FOR PARCELS POST

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Rec0mmends 1t In His Report.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The estab-
lishment Of parcel post delivery along
rural mail routes should not be de-
layed any longer in the opinion Of p.
v. Degraw, fourth assistant postmas-
ter general, as expressed in his annual
report submitted today to Postmaster
General Hitchcock.
Every consideration Of practica-
bility. business expediency and good
administration" he says, "favors the
plan. as being q probable source OF
large revenue and great public accom-
modation.'' =
Mr.. Degraw basis his recommends
tion for parcels post on the ground
that the expenditure for rural service
is increasing much more rapidly than
the receipts; and the parcels post, he
says. would provide much additional
revenue. During the past year the
rural mail receipts were $7,570,000.
while the expenditures were $37,i3O.-
900. For the present year there has
been appropriated $42.790,0O0 while
1t u not expected that there will be
any appreciable increase in receipts.
This loss will become greater each
established to help.
There are at present more than L.
100000 miles Of rural mail routes and
the average mileage per day for each
carrier Is 24.19 miles. During the
past year SIT routes were added, max.
ing the present total 1855.
More than 100000 letters and
parcels were received at the dead let
ter ofiice during the year. the daily
receipts averaging 44.b0o pieces, an
increase over the previous year of
eight per cent. -

The old story of the man seeking
the office" does not hold good in the
case Of Roosevelt. where 1t is the OPP
posite, the office seeks the man. The
cry for Roosevelt has attracted wide
attention throughout the nation. Ne
braska has already taken steps and
will have the colonel as their candi-
date. Oregon has movement with
the same end in view and it Is stated
by Oliver H. Hickey of Portland that
q petition could be circulated and
1000 signatures could be secured in
a moments notice endorsing Colonel
Roosevelt.
North Dakota has not been tagging
in this particular and the state press
has readily seen the value of one man
in which they could pin their faith.
The Grand Forks Evening Times was
quick to grasp the pulse. Of the people
Of this state and was among the first
to voice the sentiments Of the people
in behalf Of Roosevelt. The Fargo
Forum also was quick in apprehending
the power In the hands Of this one
man as the leader Of the nation, and
likewise the World is glad to take up
the banner and help lead on to what
now in the horizon looks to be tri-
umphant victory.

Of which show Overwhelming favor

Taft has been the one consideration
Of the people of one wing Of the Re-
publican party and LaFollette seems
| uppermost as representative OF the
other. but the people have a right to
express themselves in this country,
and so long as Colonel Roosevelt does
not say specifically and in terms that
he will not accept the Republican
presidential nomination If 1t comes to
him. SO long have the people right
to vote upon his candidacy.
The candidacy of Roosevelt is not
the sentiment of group of politicians,
some Of whom are ar ious to defeat
Taft and others to overwhelm LaFol-
lette. but is deep-seated conviction
on the part Of the people Of both
wings of the party that Roosevelt is
inevitable as the party leader. The
rank and file has right to speak and
Roosevelt has a right to hear 1t be-
fore he speaks.
Logical as Roosevelt's candidacy
may seem. should he decline to accept
the division seems probable and the
people who have advanced him to the
front by popular voice must fall back
into the same line as they were before
the colonel was advanced as the leader
Of the party.
Twenty years of unbroken executive
service seven and half of which he
was president Of the United States,
during which time he has served the
people with satisfaction enough to de-

been mentioned as suitable to occupy
the highest Office Of the nation.

SPANS CABINET
QUITS IN ANGER
Controversy Over Cornrnuta-
ton of Sentence of Rioter
the Cause

Madrid. Jan. 15.-The Spanish cab
met OF which Jose Canalejas Mendes
was premier resigned Sunday.
The cabinet resigned as the result
OF divergence Of views with King AL
fonso as to the advisability Of COM
muting the death sentence of one of
the rioters. who murdered judge and
wounded several court officials in the
town of Cullera. province of Valencia.
last September. The general strike at
that time in Valencia and other prov
inces involved a plot to assassinate
General Weyler, and the king was
compelled to suspend the constitution
al guarantees.
The trial of the strikers concerned
In the Cullera murder has engrossed
public attention to the exclusion of all
else for some time past, thanks to the
skilful campaign of the Radicals, who
seized upon the affair as a weapon to
attack the government, in the same
way as they utilized the refusal to re-
prieve Francisco Ferrer. director Of
the modern school, who was executed
In 1903. to bring about the downfall
of the Maura cabinet
Realizing that it was a sordid crime
and that the accused men were inn
possible OBJ ects of sympathy the
Radicals raised false issue, accus-
ing the government Of all sorts Of
tortures and cruelties towards the
prisoners. Consequently the agitation
spread with great rapidity and caused
grave concern to Premier Canaleias.
The rioters were first tried before a
military court last month and six OF
them were sentenced to death.
The case then went to the supreme
council of war and marine for revi-
sion, and the council condemned all
seven prisoners to DEATH Numerous
petitions in favor Of a reprieve have
been received since the first trial and
1t was evident that the whole nation
strongly desired that the men should
not suffer the death penalty. Premier
Canaeljas advised the king to exercise
the prisoners but held that the
seventh. Chato Chuqueta, should be
made an example of the interests of
law and order.
The agitation had by this time
reached formidable proportions the
Barcelona Radicals issuing a decree
calling for general strike of Chu-
oueta was executed Monday, the date
fixed for his death. The premier in
exclusion Of Chuqueta from a repri eve
was political blunder and learning
that the king was of the same opinion.
he sent with his colleag gues to the
palace. where the king declared that
he favored reprieve for Chuqueta.
Premier Canalejas said he referred
to his majesty's judgment and would
prepare decree to that effect with
out delay. but considering as he did
that the ministry had made mistake
1t was his duty to hand in his resip-
nation. King Alfonso urged him to
reconsider his determination but he
remained firm.

SOLVING GOOD
ROADS PR0BLE EN-
Texas Proposes to Work
Convicts Divested of
Prison Stripes

Houston. Tex, Jan. 15-Governor
Colquitt has submitted plan to two
Texas counties for the employment Of
between 800 and 500 convicts on good
roads work. The plan anticipates di-
vesting the convicts of their stripes
and placing them on their honor not
to attempt to escape. Thus no guards
would be used and the convicts would
appear as ordinary road laborers
working out their sentences without
the stigma of stripes or the humilia-
ton of working at the point of shot
gun.
Recently two Texas counties voted
large bond issues for the improve
ment of its roads and bridges To the
commissioners OF these counties Gov
ernor Colquitt submitted his plan.
Bridge carpenters. blacksmiths, quar-
rymen and other trades could be sup
piled at a cost Of so cents per day and
their maintenance. Half of the so
cents would go to the families Of the
prisoners and the other half to relief
found under the prison system. The
convicts would be placed entirely up
on their honor and to all intents and
purposes given their freedom with the
exception Of requiring them to work
as indicated during the remainder of
their terms.
