Heed Mexico's Plea.

Very few people in the United States except
the Jingoes-and they are never conspicuous by
their presence in the forefront of fighting line
desire war, and that is what intervention would
amount to, with Mexico. The temper of the
American people is decidedly against
At the same time, however, the long continu-
ance of internal hostilities in the neighborng re-
public with the consequent loss of life to citizens
of this country and the destruction of their prop
erty is decidedly resented by this country. SO
far, though, all efforts on the part of our govern
ment depending on moral suason to aid IN re-
storing peace in Mexico have failed. And all our
efforts expended in aiding faction by stop
ping shipments of arms and ammunition to the
other just because that other happened not to be
in possession of the City of Mexico and therefore
termed "insurrectionist," have been futile.
The present government" of Mexico was
born of murder and assassination and depends for
it's sustenance upon the land barons monopo-
lists of that country. The "insurrectionists" are
composed mainly of poems in revolt against the
actual enslavement of themselves and their wives
and children.
Our own great civil war is being enacted over
again in the sister republic to the south. The
principles that behind the those I'M
DERIVING the other. And our government so far
has extended aid and consolation to the Mexican
slave owners and handicapped as far as it dares
the just efforts of the enslaved poems.
This mornings press dispatches carry mess
age from the revolving poems which if answered
favorably and justly by our government would
result in speedy settlement of the Mexican stu
alton. The "constitutonalists' as the rebels
term themselves, ask that the United States life
it's embargo against the shipment of arms to
their forces. ''If you do this" they say, 1--WE will
promise speedy termination of internal hosti-

peace by removing the cause for revolt.

Haven't you something that's in line?
Got any river they say isn't crossable?
Got any mountains that can't be cut through?
We specialize in the wholly impossible,
Doing thing nobody ever could do,'
Take a good look at the whole husky of us,
Engineers, doctors and steam-shOvel men;
Taken together you'll find quite few of

Slavers or Enslaved?

The details of the Diggs- Caminett case now
coming out in the trial at San Francisco suggest
one of the two judgments on these two men.
Either they are the black hearted white slavers
their two girl accusers claim or they are repre-
sentatives of that fairly large class of men who
easily fall victims to the wiles of pretty and
scrupuous women and generally pay blackmail
for the rest of their natural lives.
The loyalty of the wives of the two defendants
suggests that at least in their minds the latter is
the case. Nor would that be a surprising or i'm
possible conclusion despite the youth of the &C
cusing girls. One has only to glance about at the
crowds on Main street sidewalks at night to see
many youthful girlish countenance smeared
with paint and denoting wisdom in the wrong
ways of the world, brazony inviting the weak
and unwary of the other branch Of the species.

Disposing of Thaw.

The sensation hungering public probably will
hope in case Harry Thaw must be returned to the
United States that his return will be by the way
he came-through the state of New Hampshire.
Should this be done there is good chance that
Thaw could be released in that state under habeas
corpus proceedings pending the question of
whether he could be extradited from New Hamp-
shire to New York.
Should he be returned to this country from
Canada through New York state his will
very quickly disappear headliner from the
press of the nation. All necessity of trials deter
mining his eXtraditon would be out of the ques-
ton. Once in New York, state the authorities,
would simply return him to Matteawan. And
that is where he belongs unless justice is to be
Knocked.

In Wyoming" which the Francis
Sayles players are presenting at the
Murray theater this. week, is the
brightest. snappiest and most life-hke
production of a western play ever
seen in this city. The play is replete
with intensely interesting and dra-

The stage settings are unusual and
the first act gives one the breadth of

the play will nil the Murray during
