POLICY OF U. S. NOT CHANGED.
Attack on Americans or Foreigners
Would Cause Intervention.


Would Cause Intervention.
Washington, Feb. 4.-The killing of
Francisco l. Madero and Pine Suarez,
deposed president and vice president
of Mexico, after Provisional President
General Huerta had assured American
Ambassador Wilson of the safety of
his prisoners from just such attacks,
created painful impression in ad-
ministration circles here.
Probably the immediate result will
be to hasten the military and naval
preparations in order to have the SOL
diers and sailors and marines ready
to answer call for instant embarka-
tion If further developments in Mexico
should demand their employment.
The one danger to be apprehended,
which almost certainly would result
in the launching of an army of inva-
sion, would be the commission of
some act or acts in Mexico that would
endanger the lives of foreign citizens
and Americans, for, having assured
the diplomatic representatives in
Washington of the disposition and
ability of this government to protect
their fellow-citizens In Mexico in the
same degree as Americans, the gov
ernment has assumed an obligation
that cannot be ignored Therefore
any attack upon the Americans or
foreigners by the tacit consent of the
Huerta government. or even the ex-
hibition towards them of mob violence
clearly beyond the ability of the pro-
visional government to prevent, prob.
ably would be the signal for active in
tervention.

Captain Stiggins. of II. M. s. Doubt
full, was extremely fond of potatoes
served up whole, and this fact led to
an amusing incident the other day.
The captain, 1t appears, whilst at
his dinner. rang his bell for the cabin
boy sentry as he wished to send him
with written message to the ships
carpenter.
At the moment of the sentrys entry
the captains mouth chanced to be fun
OF good things. and he was then pre-
vented from giving his orders with
that organ, SO he pointed to the note
on the sidebord with his fork. on the
end of which was a beautiful fioury
potato.
The gallant marine, while inwardly
wondering at his shippers great liber-
ality. quickly marched up to the table.

no desire to enter controversy with
those who are in love with auto ser
vice or those who make and sell the
autos, for they know more about thai
business than we do. But we are con-
WINGED that the present horse market
warrants careful observance by Maine
farmers and horse breeders. When a
good pair of work horses, five years
old. are easily worth from $500 to $500
and good outstanding and nifty" per-
forming drivers are of corresponding
value, we cannot understand what far
mers are thinking of to allow all these
thousands of all grades of horsetiesh
brought into our State, every year, and
sold.
What is the matter with the horse
raising game any way? Because some
pessmist, fifteen years ago, predicted
the end of the horse in the power ye-
hicle, have all farmers for all time got
to round up and listen to the echo of
his fool prophesy? Horses We're never
worth as much at any place or period
in history as in the "effete East" of
the United States today-unless it be
that single occasion recorded by
Shakespeare: "A horse, horse, my
kingdom for a horse,'
The same authority also said: They
sell the pasture now to buy the horse.
Compared with today they sell the
farm now to buy the buzz buggy; but
the horse goes on living as king of
beasts in the love, admiration and f.
nancial desire of men.
If some of our Maine farmers would
talk less automobile and more colt
raising they would prove Mr.. Hanks
conviction right or wrong. Until they
90 we shall go on believing he is right.
