NO REASON FOR MYSTERY.

The renewed disturbances in Mexico, and the damage done to American interests, with the alleg- ed threatening attitude of the peo- pie toward Americans in some parts of the republic are causing considerable apprehension with no little mysterious talk in certain quarters about an alleged necessity for and a probability of American intervention. All who indulge in that kind of talk are wasting their breath; and surely they have large sized misconception of the extent and powerof an American adminis- tration.
 An intervetion by force of arms would be an act of war; and the warmaking power rests in Congress entirely. Congress will not act in such case unless backed by the entire American people. And those of us who are in Mexico, or have interests there, will take this intimation that the American peo- pie at large do not care one way or another whether their fellow citizens who have invested in Mex leo need protection or not. At least they do not care enough about it to go to war to guarantee such protection. The protection that will be accorded will be that which China has secured for her

own people, through diplom, atic channels, after the damage has been done. (China has been granted an indemnity of $3, 100000 for three hundred Chinese lives
 In case of losses the United States will secure their citizens in Mexico ample indemnity; but to preyent such losses there will be no act of war, such as would be an armed intervention. Consequently there is neither cause nor foundation for the mystery that is made in some quarters of the alleged intention of the government at Washington to interfere in Mexican affairs.

 But it is early in the game yet, and there may be expected many strange and unaccountable devel- Opments.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

The present week has brought the announcement that former Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt is an avowed and open candidate for the republican nomination for Presl- dent, as against the incumbent, William H. Taft, and an active propaganda in the interest of the Rough Rider has been commenced. The Taft forces have commenced organization, and there is every prospect of one of the liveliest poli- tical scraps ever witnessed in Ari- zona. Colonel Roosevelt is very popular in the new state, and has hosts of warm and devoted admirers who will rally to his standard with the utmost enthusiasm; and if the Taft men secure delegation from Arizona to the national republican convention they will have to be up and doing all sorts of stunts. A great deal is being said and done against President Taft among Arizonans on account of his atti. tude toward the Arizona constitu- tion; but why that should make prejudice against him is not plain ly apparent to the traditional man up tree," for did not Presi- dent Roosevelt present and push with all the power of his admins tration the objectionable proposi- tion for joint-statehood with New Mexico, which the people of Ari- zona voted down so overwhelming ly? Why should republicans in Arizona who opposed and fought so successfully that measure hold for MT. Roosevelt who urged it against them with all his power. turn now and rend President Taft on account of his opposition to the recall of the judiciary, which posi-
 tion is supported by many of them? |? If prejudice on account of an atti- tude on an issue that has been settled is to count it would be just as reasonable to oppose the nomi.

ABOUT the easiest and best solu- tion of the land problem in Mexico would be heavy land tax which would compel subdivision and sale to actual cultivators of the great estates. The small farmer culti- vating intensively can pay a tax which would bankrupt a great landholder.

LAND DISTRIBUTION DEcREED.

Advices from the City of Mexico convey the information that the government has agreed upon a plan for beginning distribution of lands in accordance with the promise in the plan of San Luis Potosi The beginning is to be made with the unappropriated national lands, and later the ques- ton of taking over and subdividing some of the great estates will be taken into consideration. It is estimated that there are available about one million hectares of such lands. They are distributed throughout the states of Coahuila, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Durango, Guerrero, San Luis Potosi, Sonora, Tabasco, Vera Cruz, Yucatan, Za- catecas, and the Territories of Topic and Lower California.
 The plan contemplates sale of the lands to inhabitants of the dis tricts where they are located, and it embraces also provision similar to the homestead laws of the United States, by which title will be given the actual settler after five years residence and cultiva- tion, the area to be given not to exceed fifty hectares to an indi- vidual. The prices set upon the lands to be sold will be four pesos per heetare in all the states named with these exceptions: In the state of Guerrero the price per hectare will be five pesos, in Ia basco seven, in Vera Cruz twelve, and in Lower California two pesos.
 The available lands thus pro- vided are to be subdivided and offered for sale or location in the shortest possible time. It is be- lieved they will give opportunity or land to meet the most immedi- ate and pressing demands, while working out plans for acquisition and subdivision of lands that are under private ownership. Appli- cations for lands may be filed with the department of fomento, or through commissioners who will be sent out, or through local authorities.
