How many men really like to wear

HuERrA MUST SALUTE THE FLAG.

| It now begins to look like
President Wilson has at last
gotten his dander up, and is 60
ing to make Huerta salute the
United States flag. He has or
dered a strong force of naval
vessels to assemble off Tampico
at once, and a number of ships
are about to start-they leave
today.
The trouble was brought about
by the arrest of some American
marines by order of a federal
Mexican colonel and marching
his prisoners through the streets
OF Tampico, they were soon re-
leased, however, and the officials
apologized. and the Mexican led
deral government promised to
have the incident investigated,
and punish the officer respon-
sible for the insult to this gov
ernment. In our opinion, this in
cident only furnishes an excuse
for Intervention on the part of
the United States. But we doubt
Huerta's giving Uncle Sam the
chance to declare war on so
trivial an excuse. He will give
the order to fire a salute to the
flag of the United States, not be-
cause be thinks his apology al
ready made is insufficient, but
because Uncle Sam is the big
gest, and will not hesitate to
jump upon him in his present
crippled condition.
The demonstration before Tam
pico will no doubt remind Huer-
ia that discretion IS the better
part Of valor, nevertheless, the
Mexican will comply with the
demands OF this government on

An IMPORTANT CALL.

AN l1SV6l ANA tAk1.
Elsewhere will be seen the
notice from County Chairman
A. J. Richbourg calling upon
the Democratic clubs of the
county to assemble Saturday,
25th, instant, for the purpose of
reorganization, electing of off,
GERS, a member OF the county
executive committee, and dele
gates to the county convention.
The delegates will be chosen on
a basis of their present club roll.
but it should be looked into to
revise said roll so that those who
have moved out of the county,
or have passed away, the secre.
taries will remove their names.
This is very important, and it
is the duty of the president of
every club to have his club call
| ed together and delegates chosen
to the county convention. It will
be remembered that two years
age the people did not regard
the election of delegates of much
consequence, they were indifer-
ent as to who represented them,
when, however, they realized

A HEARTLEss EXECUTIVE.

A HEARTLESs EXECUTIVE.
The execution of four men con-
victed of killing Herman Rosen-
thai the gambler in New York,
took place Monday. Every ef-
fort was made to get the gov.
ernor to reprieye the sentence
of these unfortunate creatures,
but he was obdurate; we have
no doubt that his position will
be commended by many, but We
shall not be among the number.
In our opinion, the execution of
the gunmen is the result OF a
political factional fight in New
York-it was the murder Of
Rosenthal that made it possible
for the election of Mitchell as
Mayor, before this event, it was
conceded on all sides, thatit was
useless to oppose the wishes OF
Tammany; when the Rosenthal
murder was committed and
Becker one of the police force
was charged and convicted for
being responsible for the crime,
a wave of Indignation swept
over the city and the party in
power was caught in the food.
Governor Glynn has demon
strated his unftness for the
great position he occupies. A
governments duty is to protect
it's citizens, it should enforce the
law with justice, and especially,
when life is at stake. those in
charge of the government should
act with the greatest caution,
but when there is a doubt, even
though it may be remote, the
man who has the staying hand
and refuses to use it, in our
opinion, will be held accountable
by God. The several gunmen
were men of bad characters,
they were gamblers, thieves and
belonged to a gang of whom it is
said, would hire themselves to
kill, but in this case, the ,evl.
dence upon which they were
convicted, came from creatures
of the same ilk-men who would
not hesitate to swear away the
lives OF their fellows to save
themselves, or for pay, but the
! jury in response to popular
clamor convicted them.
Becker who was also convicted
and who was charged with being
the man that employed the gun
men to "croaked'' Rosenthal,
was given new trial, and, we
doubt if he will ever be convict
ed when his case is again called.
He too, was convicted on the
evidence of crooks, the courts
however, decreed that he was
wrongfully convicted, and gave
him another chance, but denied
his alleged hirelings Then what
do we find? After every etfor
counsel and friends could devise

until after the second trial of
Lieutenant Becker, it was plead.
ed to get reprieve until after
the Passover, as a mark Of re.
spect to the Jewish race, as
solemnas Sunday to Christianity,
this could have been only a few
days, but it was also refused,
then, when all possible hope had
fed from the breasts of the con-
demned men, with death staring
them in the face, three of them
soIemnly declared that one of
their humber is innocent: yet,
