HueFta's eOntsn ned refusal to abdicate in the face oi fo midahle foreign opposition is per picking to the loreign mind.
 The fact of the matter is that Mex ico has never been q republic. uDring the long tenCre Of office of Poririo D.az the nation was almost as a5s3- lute a monarchy as Russia. Diaz ruled with an iron hand upon which there was no glove. His elections were as farsicaI as the one of last October. But he had the faculty of sCentias out the men most dangerous to him and they were either "ccmp!imented with a foreign embassy CT given choice apartments in that Bssile ot Mexico, Beiem prison. On the occa- sion of the release of the prisoners from the g,Comy fortress last Febru. ary by Felix Diaz, there were many politicos who emerged from uar. ter-century of oblivion. But tne elder Eiaz failed to recognize the progress of the world He failed to take into consideration the fact that many wealthy Mexicans were sending their sens to the universities of the United States and Great Britain, where they absorbed other than the medieval ideas of the schools of Castle and Leon.
 Then came Francisco Nalero. He failed from inanition and poor com se.lors. He violated his promises and rovided his brothers. and therewerz m7nvs of them, with offices which were more or less coveted by the gen erals who had helped him war with Dia-.

NATIONAL RAILWAYS
ANNUAL REPORT
Pamphlet Report Shows profit and Loss Account Decrease s3ea,ooo Expenditures On Improve
 ments Heavy

The complete pamphlet report of the National Railways of Mexico for the fiscal year ended June 90 last has been made public and contains large amount of interesting matter regarding conditions in Mexico and the affairs of the company. Security Folders and the public can certainly find no fault with the document Luis Elguero, chairman Of the board, in his remarks to the shareholders, express es regret that the condition of the
 financial markets in this country and E-rope and the continuance of polit- ical disturbances in Mexico, made it practically impossible for the man. agement to sell bonds at satisfactory prices. Reference is made in detail to the short-term financing that it was necessary to do during the fiscal period.
 In giving essential details of the sale of short term notes ard the se- curities pledged as collateral. it is state1 that the bankers who pur- chased the notes were given an op- ton on the bonds, in tue nope that they would be able to exeIctse it and thus make unnecessary further shorI term financing by the company. At tention is drawn to the fact that a. the fiscal period advanced conditions in Mexico became very much worse and the investments market in Europe and in the United States did not im- prove appreciably, In this connec- ton, Mir. Elguero says: With peace again restored in Mexico, for the success of your company is entirely thereon, and a further im- provement in the investfent markets abroad, it is believed that the bankers will exercise the options granted to them, thereby enabling the, company to avcid resorting to any more short term loans.

GOOD BUT DILATORY.

The editor Of The Capital Journal
cheerfully admits that the newspapers
are rather too prom to criticise legisla-
tors and legislatures. It is so easy,
and there Is such a shining mark that
the temptation to take a shot at 1t is
irresistible. The present legislature
Is composed OF most excellent gentle
men, men of brains, business men,
honest, conscientious and capable.
That is one reason they become so
much the better mark to shoot at.
Still, putting away the gun, and just
taking look at the target, It is evil
dent that, for some cause, the legisla-
ture has been slow to act, so slow that
in the remaining seven days bills ap-
proprlating $9,OOO,OOO must be acted
upon, 1t is possible that these bills
have been considered and examined by
the individual members, but It is not
probable that all the members are
fully informed on them, any more than
the general public Is, and that only in
the debates following the reports of
the committees can the full effects of
the bills be disclosed 1t is probable
the legislature will rush things from
this on, and will clean up the calendar
with credit to themselves-an some
left to the state.

Only Solution of Trouble.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Ohicials here

ed in the Mexican capital until Presi-
dent Taft orders Intervention. High
army officers declare, however, that
the United States would not be pre-
pared to adequately intervene within
two weeks.
president Taft" said an official here
today, will ask congress for permis-
sion to intervene in the following con-
tingencies:
"If anarchy continues to spread; if
the demands of ambassadors for cessa-
ton of hostilities continue to be ig-
nored; if any other powers threaten
to intervene; if the Madero govern
ment falls; If the rules of civilized
warfare are ignored; if communication
between Washington and Mexico City
are severed and If anti-forelgn riots
cause death.
AT least three of these contingent
cies already have arisen and 1t now
probably will be necessary for Presi-
dent Taft to submit these matters to
congress as any proposed Intervention
would really constitute an armed in
vasion."

REPORT ON 0. A. c.

The ways and means committee Of
the senate and the house have submit
ted a favorable report after a trip to

the purpose Of investigating conditions

The report says
"The committee found that the mon

1911 for buildings, equipment and i'm
provement has been judiciously and
effectively expended. The new build

mirably suited to the purpose for
which they were authorized. In the
equipment of the buildings and in the
direction Of the work Of the institu-
tion we found reflected policy Of

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

r HE MEXICAN problem, which 1t
was expected would be one Of the
big things Woodrow Wilson would
have to deal with almost 80 soon as he
became president, bids fair to force
action by President Taft. The events
of the past few days are hurrying
things, and demanding action on the
part of our easy-going old Uncle Sam
nel. If 1t were only the killing Of
few Americans, we might put up with
it, but we are in a peculiar situation
due TO the Monroe doctrine which we
insist on maintaining. This forces us
to take steps to protect Europeans now
in Mexico, when we would not other
wise interfere. Under the Monroe doc
trine, which asserts that no European
power can bring its armies to this
continent, we are compelled to protect
their citizens. Should we be compell-
ed TO intervene, to send an army into
Mexico 1t would, no doubt mean war.
The Mexican8 who can agree on moth
ing else, would certainly become unan-
imous in their resistance to our in

EIGHT HOUR BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE

The bill of Senator Smith, of Coos
county, providing for an eight-hour
day Of labor on all state contracts
was passed by the house yesterday
without amendment. 1t had been de-
feated in the house once before.
Heltzel and Hughes of Marion, made
an Intellectual attempt to amend with a
clause that would permit certain class
es of laborers to work more than eight

bill was unfair to employers, and was
drawn in favor of labor unions, which,
they asserted, formed the greatest
trust in the country.

further promised to write him letter
