CLAUeHrER OF INNocENrs.

- Now the fact develops that ;. Z
DeRackin. editor of the hrewery'S
house organ at Imperial and ostensible
and ostentatious political manager Of
the brewery interests in the valley, has
openly and repeatedly made the DE-
claration:
al am going to clean out the court
house completely at the next election
with the exception of one man"
The reason assigned for this threat
cred act of great cruelty is the alleged
fact that the several county officials
d. not give sufficient orders for print
ing to the brewery organ.
One cannot but regret that Mr.. De
Rackin has decided to remove the sew
eral county officers. A number OF
them have families to support, and
they need the salaries they draw.
Most of them are attentive to their
duties and efficient at their posts.
Probably the people of the valley
would like to re-elect some of them,
j. the brewery boss would permit, and
j. is TO be hoped some person of influ ,
ence will yet prevail on Mr.. DeRackn
&C desist from his dire threat and let
.he public have a voice in the matter

WASHINGTON VIEW OF THE
SITUATION ACROSS LINE
(ey Congressman Clyde \. Tavenner.

WASHINGTON, Aug. i4.-Why
would it not be a good policy for the
| United States government to order all
American citizens to leave Mexico 1t
| Cnce, and TO remain away until Ill
| danger is passed: the United States
government to furnish cost of trans
portation to all unable to meet It.;
permitting those Americans who re-
| fused to abandon the country tempor-
rarily to remain at their own peril?
Every patriotic American in Mexico
should be willing to return home, if by
doing SO he IS helping to save his
country from the possibilities of a
needless war, which would be a tr2 :
| mendOus expense in the lives Of
American soldiers, as we'll as money
AS long as the lives of Americans
ere protected in Mexico, war remains
| an impossibility But should Americans
he killed as a result of some sudden
outbreak of the populace, the danger
of war would be imminent AS long as
Americans remain in Mexico there can
be no positive guarantee against the
necessity for armed intervention But
if the Americans will leave Mexico, all
possibility Of the necessity for armed
Intervention is removed.
That there would be gerat hard
slip and some financial loss to Amer
leans in temporarily quitting Mexico. IS
Obvious. But such hardships and
money loss would be but a drop In the
bucket when compared with the pos
sible killing Of thousands Of American
soldiers should war ensue. Americans
who insist upon remaining in Mexico
can have little cause for complaint
against lack Of protection by this gov
eminent, because even Mexicans are
unsafe as the result of the chaotic con-
ditions existing in that unhappy repub-
lie. Even the president and vice pres
ident were murdered.
There is every evidence that many
rich Americans, who have money in.
vested in Mexico, would like to see
armed intervention, These men
would like to have American soldiers
used as policemen to guard their prop
erty. Why should the lives Of Amer
lean soldiers be sacrificed and the
peoples treasury wasted in protect
ing "the property rights" Of our citi-
zens who, having gone beyond Our
borders, have taken a chance" on the
laws and conditions beyond our con-
troll?
1t would make little difference to
these men how many lives Of American
soldiers might be snuffed out in such
al enterprise. All they desire is that
their mines and plantations be policed
so they may continue their exploita-

! ton project and their dividends may
not be ntcrfered with.
The cost Of a war with Mexico
would not be borne by these rich men,
either. but would almost wholly fall
upon the shoulders of the masses. The
only funds the United States govern
I ment has. with which to finance a war.
/ are those which have been raised By
| taxing the things the people must eat,
wear and use, in order to live OF all
moneys in the treasury 90 per cent has

pie.
! When armed troops once cross the
| Rio Grande, no man is 50 wise that he
can forelell when they will return. or
what unexpected complications may
set in before the conflict can end.
That all factions in Mexico would
unite to resist armed Intervention by
| the United States, and that armed in
| terventiOn therefore would mean war,
there is little doubt.
Officials of the war department be-
lieve that anywhere from 100000 10
500,0 900 men would be necessary to
maintain anything like peace in Mex
ico. The guerrilla warfare is the
Mexican method of fighting. Every
time the Americans would capture
city, however small it might be. suf1l-
cent troops would have to he left TO
hold it. Otherwise bands Of Mexican
fighters would return from the noun
t9lns to recapture it. The war depart
ment we'll recognizes it would be nee
essary to have sufficient troops to DO
Ice every part of Mexico at the same
time, otherwise when peace was being
enforced at one point, revolution would
break out in another. If American
troops conquer the whole Of Mexico.
evacuation would become difficult. IL
possible at all. We would then have
upon our hands a huge new territory
with a large population in continuous
revolt
That war with Mexico would lay this
country open TO attack by any other
hostile nation, should also he cOnsid-
cred
In few words, it is perfectly OBJ
vious that the United States has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain
through armed intervention in Mex
leo.
President Wilson believes that there
is no general or real sentiment in the
United States in favor of armed inter
vention and President Wilson is right.
Il is no violation of confidence to
quote the president on this. Said he
to the newspaper men recently:
There are a few people whose views
find expression in certain newspapers,
who have personal and interested rea..
sons for trying to bring on armed in
tervention. Outside Of these few,
feel confident in asserting that no such
sentiment exists"

CONTRACT LET FOR
TUNNEL WORK ON
8. D. & A. ROAD

There is no room for doubt Of the
good faith of John D. Spreckels in de-
Caring the intention to rush construc-
ton OF the San Diego and Arizona rail-
road through in time for the San Diego
exposition
There has been filed with the county
recorder of Imperial county the con-
tract between the railroad and Robert
Sherer & Company for the building
Of ten miles OF railroad from the pres-
eDt terminus in this county, carrying
the road to a point four miles west OF
Coyote Wells, this contract having
heretofore been noted in these col
umns.
But now comes the San Diego u
with story which shows that work
is to be begun on the tunnels at once,
this work being the task which really
sets the limitation on the time re-
auired for the completion Of the rail-
road. It is the most important rail-
road news given out in many a da.
Says the Union:
"Offlcials OF the San Diego and Ari-
zona railroad announced yesterday that
ar agreement had been made with the
grading contractors, Robert Sherer &
Company, for an extension Of contract
No. g. The additional contract calls
ior the grading of a little less than
seven miles of roadbed beyond the
present contract on which Rober;
Sherer & Company now are working.

place the end OF the track opposite
the Mexican federal military post in
Tecate valley. This is about six miles
from the point on the international
boundary line where the road will pass
into American territory on the way 10
imperial valley.
THE grading of this seven-mi!e
stretch will require some of the heav-
lest work yet done on the new rail
road. It will contain three tunnels ag-
aregating about -2400 feet in length
One Of these is directly on the interna-
tional boundary line, and will be an
attraction to tourists coming to or
going from San Diego. Coming west
the train will enter the tunnel in Unit
ed States territory and come out in
Mexico, after passing under the line

Of roadbed included in the contract
just awarded will facilitate the work

cate valley to the international line.
