MEXICO AND AMERICAN PATIENCE.

UNDERLYING the whole of this Mexican trouble is
~ the fact that it is the duty Of the United States
Government to compel the Mexicans Federalists and
constitutionasts alike respect the American flag,
TO safeguard the lives, liberties and properties of
Americans and to have due regard for American in
terests tangible and intangible. in Mexico. Nothing
short Of that will satisfy the American people. They
have submitted to too much already. The time has ar
rived Mexico be given 10 understand that
American and his property sacred anywhere and
that Mexico enjoys immunity from the operation Of
that policy
The Mexicans by their treatment Of Americans,
seemingly have made a studious effort 10 try pa
tence TO the breaking point Murder has been piled
upon murder outrage and insult upon in
suit And through it all government has kept
hands off trusting that there would be restor
alton Of internal tranquility in land that had known
no tranquility since the Maderos drove Porhrio Diaz
from power and opened the Pandora box that seemed
to release untold trouble upon sister republic and
IT'S people But that tranquility has not come Revo-
luton has succeeded revolution and outrage has sue
ceeded outrage The remonstrances of the American
government have failed produce the desired result
Americans safer under Huerta than they we're
under Madero and they not nearly so safe un-
der Madero as they under Diaz when he was
in his dotage The entire social fabric of Mexico seems
TO be permeated with a hatred of Americans and all
things American
The American people do not desire to intervene in
Mexico Neither do they wish to make upon that
country They rather would peaceful conditions
restored ard Mexico embarked more upon an era
Of beneficial progress The Mexicans must understand
however that there is limit to American endurance
and that they go too far in testing the for
bearanoe Of the American people Nor must the
Wilson administration forget that st. too, has respon-
sbity in the that it cannot evade and that the
American people expect it to meet
So many conflicting stories come from Mexico as to
the purposes Of Provisional President Huera that it
Is difficult to sift the truth from the untruh One Of
the latest of those stories is interesting. however in
that it may contain the germ of the solution Of Mex
icos national and international troubles. Il is that
Huerta will stand for election President this Fall
and that to pave the way for doing he will resign
as Provisional President and permit Foreign Minister
Gamboa personal and political friend, to serve as
President until after the election. It is ntimated that
John Lind. President Wilson's advisor on the Mexican
situation might recommend that Gamboa be recog-
nzed by government
A question naturally arises relative to the possible
attitude of General Felix Diaz should Huerta decide
to stand for the Presidency. Daz already has an
nounced that he expects to for the office and to
be elected II may be that II Huerta defeats him. he
may return to Mexico and start another revolution
and that the situation viii be made just as bad as it
Is at present

It is shown by a bulletin issued by the Delaware
College Experiment Station that 100000 cases of to-
matoes one-tenth Of the entire pack Of the United
States put up in Delaware last year. and that
sister State, Maryland put up 100000 cases, al
most one-half the entire pack in this country At
tention is called to the fact that Of the tomatoes
packed in Maryland we're grown in Delaware. Il may
interest Wilmington housewives TO know that notwith
standing fact that they pay well for the
they obtain in small quantities in the markets in the
tomato growing districts the farmers sell them the
Gamer for from IS to 50 ton. And at those
prices the crop looked upon Of the best-pay-

No photograph has now more popu-
lsrity in Paris than that Of Lady Sack
vile, her daughter, her two young lady
friends, and a gentleman. issuing from
the court where the Murray Scott case
was decided This may be due to Muir
ray Scott having been, for the best part
Of his life, well known at Paris as secre-
tary Of Sir Richard Wallace. director
Of the conscience and business affairs Of
Lady Wallace, and. under her will, an
inheritor of her fortune, TO the exclu-
sion Of her grandson. A few printed
lines below the Sackville photo explain
the subject, and designate Lady Sack
vile and her daughter, an extremely tall
person, so tall/that one may suppose
that she wears heels of exaggerated
height As the Princess Matternich said
Of herself "she was, when young, 'pire
que iolie,, by which she meant more
killing than is q regular beauty. There
was in her a certain softness that must
have appealed to the crustiness of Sir
Murray Scott.
In France nobody has the right 10

Vile and her daughter can obtain the
Introduction of any unauthorized photos
OF other prescntments of themselves in
Paris. But manners seem to have
changed in English society.
As TO undue influence. what does the
grandson of Lady Wallace think Of her
will in favor of Sir John Murray Scott
He never sinned against her or Sir Rich
ard. He was the only child of a mar
riage that Jared on the pride of Sir
Richard The son, an officer in the French
army, also has preferred French TO Brit

French woman by birth and breeding as
a widow. reverted to her original French
status, her power to make Mr.. Murray
Scott, as he then was, a Croesus, would
have been greatly limited, and his infu-
ence. due or undue, less exercised.
There were not a few Seymours who
held that the Marquis of Hertford, who
died in 1879, in making his last will was
under influence Of Mr.. Richard Wallace
He would have acted Justly in leaving
him all the wealth derived from the
mother Of both. that Lady Hertford was
the darling Of the British Prince Regent,
and his consoler before and after Prin-
cess Charlotte's death. She had enjoyed
from youth to age three fortunes. one

the third by some wealthy notability.
But the Marquis Of Hertford had no
equitable right 10 bequeath his paternal

GOVERNOR MILLER AND
BROWNS PARDON

bkOWN'S fAhDON
From the Dover State Sentinel
Governor Miller has done we'll in the
pardonine Of Walter Brown, the young
colored man. convicted in January. 1912,
Of felonious assault upon Betty Brown,
a colored woman of about twice his age.
The use of the pardoning power as in
trusted to the governor is one easily
abused in the granting and refusing TO
pardon convicts 1t is so easy TO com
init an iniustice-to continue to punish
the innocent. and, in listening to the
pleas of friends for pardon, to be unjust
TO the state--to its laws. As we under
stand this case. it is not absolutely
certain that he was guilty ne charged ;
again, the testimony was unreliable, and
that the iury and the court at the trial
we're imposed upon. The victim OF tins
imposition was a negro That counted
against him. Then let us say It, in re-
minder that there was no negro on the
Jury that convicted him. II is no un-
ust criticism of the white men on that
iurv. 10 say that for absolute justice
10 the man here should have been, To
make it a jury of his peers. We are
simply holding to the idea that in o
trial involving the life of a human being
the accused should be given. every op-
portunity TO win verdict Of acquittal
In the failure we have noted in the pane
of the jury, this mans chances were
not fully accorded him.
Governor Miller, convinced Of som'
injustice done him. supplements thu
iury's finding, and the courts sentence
in accord with that finding, by the ex
ercise of executive clemency, and we arr
glad to commend him for It. II is .
good thing to save a human life-anC
while this man was not under sentence
of death, his life was being virtually
taken from him--a life imprisonment is
in our estimation. more to be dreade'
than death.

The Importance of eliminating
dangerous curves on roads that are

emphasized on Wednesday morning by
an accident at Bacon Hill on the

the sharp turn at the railroad bridge.

struck the fence. wrecking the ma

the passengers.
The County Commissioners have ap-
pealed to the Pennsylvania R. r. Co.
to reduce the height of the fence at
lthis point, which will materially les

While on the subject of dangerous

SCHOLARSHIPS GO BEGGING

From the Elkton Democrat.
Il is to be regretted that there were
mo applicants to the School Board for
the four scholarships in the State
Normal School due Cecil county. AT
the last session of the Legislature
100000 was appropriated to enlarge
the Normal School for training teach
ers, and why is it no one in this coun-
ty desires the advantages offered free
by the State We see by our ex-
changes that in other counties in the
State there are a number of appoint
lments to the Normal School. There
must be some reason for this state OF
affairs in Cecil county.
