liam Allen White in the Kansas City Star.
This is not the last word on the subject of war
and rumors of war; but it is reasonably good logic.
But there is not the slightest danger in the
present instance of the United States being talked
into war with Mexico. 1t would be difficult for a
country to show greater Discrimination for fight
than this country has shown in the case of Mexico
There is much ground for the belief that Mexican
knowledge of how much averse the United States is
to war is responsible for good deal of the true
ulence that is shown by neighbor on the south.

THE CASE OF ZELAYA.

Former President Zelaya, Of Nicaragua, has been
arrested under Federal warrant in New York,
charged with murder. This seems another case in
which the possibilities of civil process are decidedly
stretched Zelava was President of Nicaragua when
the Groce and Cannon executions took place. They
took place under the FORMS at least of government
procedure The sovereignty, the state. Of Nicaragua
doubtless might with propriety have been held re-
sponsibe But now. at the end Of more than decade
to seize the former President, unotfendng tourist
in this country, and attempt to make him personally
responsible, appears quite beyond the dccencies of
international usage.
Is il proposed to try Zelaya here for murder in
Nicaragua? That is hardly more Senseless than the
notion that justice would be served by sending him
back to the Nicaragua of today, to be tried. He
would pretty certainly be executed. The Ncaraguans
would feel certain of the United States sympathy in
such course in view of the trouble we had taken to
seize and send them their prisoner.
Zelaya is doubtless undesirable. So is Castro.
So maybe, is SUN Vat Sen. So was B. Franklin at an
interesting stage of our history if we may believe

BLESSING OR PEST?

Consider the matter of l-cent postage which
dozen statesmen are trying to bring to the favorable
attention of Congress. If established it may be
blessing to many and a pest to others.
Among the benefciaries of rule which would
Permit hrstclass mail matter TO be carried for |
cent (Senator Burtons measure would permit &
whole ounce TO be carried for that sum- would be
the manufacturers of paper, ink, pens, pencils mu
cilage, sponges, and addressing machines. For the
public could write letters where it had written
only one, and human nature could not resist the
temptation to take advantage of the new benefit.
1t would be joyful thing for creditors, who
would mail bills fortn ghtly instead of monthly.
Lovers would love the innovation and the privilege
il would give to send tender missives twice day i'll
stead of once.
One-cent postage would strike blow at the MANU-
facturers of postal cards. for what hgh-browed pei
son would use postal card when communication
under cover might be had for practically the same
cost? Then, reducing the number of postal cards,
YOU strike blow at the ancient rights Of the rural
postmaster. If postal cards are abandoned for pri-
vate correspondence how is a postmaster TO know
what is going on in the village? And if he is de-
rrived of the knowledge how the other villagers
to know?
The country will be strange place to live in
when, after citizen has washed up and gone TO
the store at the close of his days work, he finds
that the postmaster cannot tell him the things worth
knowing. The citizen might we'll move to town
IL the Government is going to drive its sword into
the heart of innocent goss ?.
This thing would hurt the feelings also of the
carrier on rural free delivery route. He would
begin to think that folk didn't want him to know
what going on. He would become walking
automaton instead of the wisest of fish

Chances at Belle Fourche,

The huge irrigation project of the
Federal Government In South Dakota
is located in the beautiful valley of
Belle Fourche River adjacent to and
north of the Black Hills. All the prin-
cipal engineering works have been
completed and the main canals are
now supplying water to thousands of
acres. An intelligent and progressive
class of farmers have taken up most
of the land for which water is need
ed and there is a demand for addi-
tional farms. In a few months it is
expected that the Reclamation Serv-
ice at Washington will announce the
opening of nearly 100 new farms To-
Gated near the new town OF Newell.
With the growth of the agricultural
areas there has been a corresponding
development of all the towns in the
valley. The great increase in the val
ley's population has created a need
for the establishment of numerous in
dustries and these opportunities are
attractive.
Belle Fourche, the principal town in
the valley, has a live Commercial
Club which Is extremely active in pro-
noting manufacturing industries and
has issued a call for a glove factory,
a canning factory, wholesale produce
company, brick-making plant, and a
plant for securing wool.
Within the next S years 100000
acres of choice land will be in cult
vation, occupied by progressive and
up-to-date farmers whose farms will
average from 40 to 80 acres. This
will insure a rural population of ap.
proximately 5000 and an urban popu-
lation fully as large which will fur.
nish a good market for local manu-
facturies. Adjoining the valley is the
Black Hills mining region with the
cities of Lead and Deadwood, while
eastward ON the main line of the
Northwestern and it's branches are
numerous thriving communities.
