Editorial Comment
Lcttina the Mexieans Alone.

tNanS8S city journal
1t is TOO bad of course, that President
Wilson's ideals have been SO rudely
shattered by the Mexican rebels who in
sisted upon slaughtering their victims
captured at Juarez. but there was never
anv reason to believe that Garranza's
soldiers were any better than the ordi-
nary run of MeXicans. Americans nave
.huddered at the atrocities committed by
the soldiers of Huerta's army, but II ap-
pear. that the men under the revolution
ary leaders are no better. So far as ap-
pearances go. a Mexican is n Mexican
no matter to what particular political
faction he happens to belong. The ma :
ture of these men does not change with
a change of leadership or the shifting of
political issues.
The conduct OF the rebels at Juarez.
where they summarly executed score
or more of unarmed and helpless otfi-
GERS of surrendered post is only an in
eident in a long line of such atrocities
Cruelty and passion are dominant traits
in the character of these semi-bandits
and they delight in torturing the help
less enemy that falls into their hands
The scenes in Juarez are reported to
nave DeeU EtNplliIiS beyond tApItSSioii'
That they were enacted in response TO
the orders of men supposed to be officers
OF an organized force. makes them all
the more terrible. 1t is easy to conceive
Of excesses committed by bands of out
laws that swoop down upon ranches and
villages and rob, burn, torture and out
rage in the wantonness of their own de-
pravity. Men do such things even in
more civilized countries and certainly
most of Mexico is far from civilized.
But when hundreds of brutal soldiers
after a campaign of privation and ha-
tired are turned loose in 4 city with prae-
tically no restrictions upon them,
nothing can be expected but violation of
every obligation of decency and order.
When such men are ordered by their
superior officers to kill their victims. the
situation is still more deplorable.
The capture OF Juarez came at the mo-
ment when President Wilson was nege-
tiating with the rebels with view to
joining with them in ousting Huerta.
The American representative had been in
consultation with Carranza for several
days and it was reported that a basis
of cooperation had been tactly agreed
upon. IL We were not going 10 Send
American soldiers over the border to join
the rebels We were at least on the point
of supplying these rebels with an un-
limited amount of arms and ammunition.
The capture of Juarez has had the effect
of causing President Wilson to hesitate
about adopting this programme. 1t is
limited now that the government at
Washington may let the Mexican fac
tions fight it out. That is what the ma
jority of Americans have wanted all the
time. 1t was never any of our business
how the Mexicans chose their rulers and
our only concern lay in affording ade-
quate protection to American citizens
and their property in the distressed re-
public.

Harvard on Top.
Boston GIohe.l


1t was no fiuke. Luck PLAYED an unim-
portant part. Harvard's team merely
played expert football, combined with an
iron nerve and everlasting stamina. The
Harvard graduates and undergraduates
have every right to feel the most honest
pride.
BY winning decisively the crew race
last June and the football contest on
Saturday, Harvard conquered in the two
great manly college sports of this coun-
try, which is so welded to many con-
tests of brain and brawn Harvard to-
day stands at the top of American col
lege athletics. The title has been well
and rightly won.
In the game. last Saturday, Harvard
met worthy adversary, which played
up to the high standards of Yale foot
ball. The Yale players and coaches need
not offer any excuses.
The two football teams met for the
3ith annual contest Harvard and Yale
have played each other in football every
year since 1875 with four exceptions. ror
game which is so fierce to have been
played by the students of the two col
ieges this length of time reflects on the
strong sportmanlike basis on which the
mighty game rests. 1t has been an
amicable feud for more than 30 years.
The last word belongs to each individ-
ual player of the Harvard team. They
all played like men and they all did their
share The game was won by many
brilliant plays, most of which were a.
most unseen and unnoticed.

Wilson's "PoIicy."
Lewiston Sun-Dem.D

tLeAiSton Sun-Dem.)
According to one estimate, about
two hundred Americans have been re-
ported killed up To the middle of Oc-
tober and American property de-
stroyed amounting to two hundred
millions. And no redress through the
Wilscn Government
Perhaps the worst feature. the most
dangerous, is the exclamation often
repeated that if Roosevelt had been
President he'd have known what to
do. 1t is probable that under Roose-
welt the present drifting to- -chaos poll
icy would not have been adopted II
the crisis had come when Secretary
Root was trying to win the good will
of Latin America he would have found
way peaceful. businesslike, effective.
to protect Americans and to reduce the
limits of bandit-ruled territory.
The danger is that the further the
paralysis of government extends the
more intolerable the destruction of
foreign property will be carried, and
the greater the number of lives of
foreigners lost; and then the greater
the demand for leader of the Roose-
Welt type.
1t would be so easy for Roosevelt to
lay on the shelf with Bryan's dove of
peace stuffed, those pretty Progress

The Damariscotta man while driving

from the rear and seemed TO take
pleasure in pushing the cart ahead,
using his head just as an elephant does.
The horse became frightened and
jumped the fence. The driver held to

the fence the wagon was left behind,

HUDSON LIGHT SIX

TO BEGIN IN DECEMBER

II. n. Partington, local distributor
for the Hudson cars. is jubilant to-
day over the announcement OF the
Hudson six-40, popularity known as
the Hudson Light six. The good
news has just reached him from the
factory that deliveries are to begin
in December, possibly a few towards
the latter half OF the present month.
For months motorists have been on
the qui vive about this much-talked-
Of and widely interesting model. The
fact that the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany refused to give out a word Of
Information until the new car was
actually being produced tended to fan
the flame Of curiosity. Now. Mr..
Partington has printed specifications
and description of the car. with pho-
tographs, prices and full details.

SHOW YOUR
TICKETS NOW

Mileage Book and

7URPOSE IS TO
OBVIATE MISTAKES
okeL eraminers Id M

cket examiners Of the Pennsyl-
mia railroad system. according to
an order just issued, must see that
every passenger passing through the
gates at stations has a ticket, mileage
book or pass.
The examiners at the Pennsylvania
stations, as a rule, have always been
careful, but the order is general. 1t is
for the purpose of preventing people
from getting on the wrong train. In
most cases where complaints have
been made the passengers have been
to blame.
Travelling men. as rule, use mile
age books. In passing through the
gates they simply tell the examiner
that they have mileage book. Other
passengers who do not want to go
TO the trouble to dig into their pockets
for tickets, frequently tell the gate
man they have mileage. Sometimes
these patrons get on a wrong train
and then there is trouble and the gate
nah is blamed
Now it will not matter whether it
is well known railroader, a travel
ing man, whose face is familiar to the
llchel examiners, or regular pas
senger, the ticket pass or mileage
book must be exhibited. The gateman
announces the track on which the
train is standing, and at the foot Of
the steps Will be an usher to point
out the trains.
To make it as convenient as pos
sible for passengers to redeem unused
railroad tickets, the Pennsylvania
railroad has established a rule which
provides that the return portion of
an excursion ticket may be redeemed
at the ticket Office at which it was
bought If presented by the original
purchaser.
Until recently. if one wished to re-
deem any Pennsylvania railroad ticket
it. was necessary 10 forward 1t to the
general passenger agent at Philadel-
phia, with attendant delay On Au-
gusts7 the company announced that,
to make it more convenient for pas
sengers to redeem railroad tickets, it
had established a rule that a wholly
unused ticket might be redeemed by
