.ExnIains BasebalI's PonuIaritv

Nothing equals baseball as a popular
sport. Baseball stimulates the mind
and invigorates, instead of exhausts,
the body. It can be played in any
field, at almost no cost. Expense is
the handicap which keeps tennis and
golf out Of the running as great popu-
lar sports. "A baseball game may be
played in two hours--an advantage
which will ever make it more popular
than cricket as an international game.

Its Revolutionary Proclivity.

| business, 3eXdclly as a real SSIdCe
scheme is promoted in America. The
duty Of the United States is to tscru-
tinize each revolution by itself and
to judge whether it be or be not
morally justifiable. :, 81
That duty the United States has
now assumed. When Mr.. Wilson took
steps to inform himself Of the facts
regarding the Huerta coup d etat,
with view to passing a moral judg-
mont upon the rightfulness Of the
de facto government in Mexico City,
he took, it seems to me the most
far-reaching and fateful step which
the Monroe doctrine has inspired in
all the process OF its evolution.
I'm the case of Mexico, Judgment
was easy. The coup d etat that ov-
erthrew Madero in February, 1913,
was in no way a revolution. 1t was a
barracks plot, conspiracy of a few
army officers financed by Cientificos
living in exile and a few Spanish re-
dictionaries. It was attended by cir
cumstances of treachery so execrable,
Of villainy SO fantastic of cruelty so
barbarious, that the story is one
which the mind has difficulty in ac-
cepting, as credible. L
THE chief actor, Huerta, an ape
like Indian, aged, one-eyed, subsist-
ing on brandy, when the moment of
his triumph was fully come, rose
from breakfasting with the presidents
brother, beckoned file Of soldiers,
arrested him, had him carried away
to be shot to death and body thrown
into hole; went to the palace, em-
braced the president whose chief
commander he had become through
protestations Of faithfulness to death,
and signalled in guards to arrest him.
BY promise Of safe-conduct out of
the country, the treacherous general
secured the signatures of President
Madero and Vice President Pine SUI
arez to deeds of resignation; hastily
gathered less than a quorum of con-
gressmen in chamber filled with
soldiers and commanded by artillery;
had himself acknowledged as presi-
dent; carried Madero and Pine Suar-
ez out into the night and had them
shot to death behind the prison.
HideousIy ViIIainous Character.
Perhaps this is enough to suggest
that there could be no question of
recognizing Huerta as the head of
lawful government-once it had been
resolved to scrutinize revolutions.
But indeed it would surely have been
imposs ible for tragic romance to have
imagined a character so hideously
villainous as Victoriano Huerta, or a
career so completely justifying the re-
fusal to recognize him.
''Other powers made no scruple of
giving the assassin and usurper i'm
mediate recognition. Very well; the
United States is not follower of
other powers. It is, it has been from
the beginning Of its history, the mo-
raj leader o. the world. It is the

CAL REVIEW OF MEXICAN
AFFAIRS.
4 William Bayard Hale, President Will
sons unofficial Investigator of affairs
in Mexico, has contributed to the
current number of The Worlds
Work an article unfolding the presi-
dents Mexican policy and pointing,
out an important developme nt in
the character Of American diplomacy.
This, he explains, is an dnterpreta-
tion of the Monroe doctrine, that es-
tablishes the .suzerainty Of the United
States only as an effective source of
moral Inspiration over the nations of
Central American and the. West In

4 The press and the people OF A
merica," he says, t'haye not yet awak
ened by the fact that the first year
of the Wilson presidency has given
the United States new character
among the powers of the world. Be
fore Mr.. Wilson had been in office a
week he had given the Monroe doc
trine an Interpretation the implica-
;tion Of which go far beyond anything
voiced by jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, Quincy Adams, Polk, Webster
Grant or Olney. Before Mr.. Wilson
had been in office year the powers
Of other continents had yielded to
the principle Of our domination in
the western hemisphere It is not fan,
tastical therefore to speak of our
moral empire of America
"sOur Moral Empire in America is
the title Of the article. The maya
zine editors point out that Dr.. Hale
desires to make it clear that he
writes simply as private student Of
affairs. Nevertheless, they assert that
no one except the president himself
is entitled to speak with greater au-
:thority upon the. problems Of Latin
America.
Fears We'd Stay There.
Discussing the possibility Of inter
vention in Mexico (the article was
written before the fleet was ordered
to Tampico), DR.. Hale says: An
American army would have no ply
steal difficulty in getting back out Of
Mexico; nobody would use it up be
fore 1t got away, the difficulty would
be that greed and a false sense of ma.
tiona1 honor would do their utmost to
keep us there permanently in occu-
patton. : ss b,
We do not want Mexico, he declar-
es, especially we do not want her be
cause we do want the good will OF
the rest of Latin America. 1T would
be a fools act, indeed, to barter the
confidence of hemisphere for all we
could gain by annexing Mexico
If armed intervention should be
forced upon US, he continues, Il pre-
dict that our forces will be order
ed home Just as soon as constitution
al order has been restored, and that,
so far as the power and influence
OF President Wilson can bring it to
pass, nothing in the nature Of an in
demnity, either in money or land, will
be asked or will be accepted. But no.
body can predict how far the influ-

A tile FACTORY

IOWA MEN VERY ANXIOUS TO
TAKE OVER RADIATOR
FACTORY.
THE COMING LYCEUM COURSE
SEASON TICKETS WILL COST
ONE DOLLAR.-NEW FIRE
ALARM SYSTEM.

The regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club Friday evening of last
week was quite largely attended. Sew
eral matters of Importance were dis
cussed.
]. N. McGibbon reported that Mr..
Sears, of Iowa, had spent day in the
city the week previous relative to es-
tablishing cement tile factory at this
point. The test of the sand in this
vicinity proved that 1t was admirably
adapted for the purpose of tile max
ing. The gentleman and his asseci-
ates are anxious to take over the
building recently vacated by the Radi-
ator Company and xsart the manu-
facture of tile. Local capital is de-
sired to help promote the company.
The Herald understands that if the
deal with Mr.. Sears does not mater
ialize that local businessmen are apt
to take hold of the enterprise.
A. F. Strebel reported that he had
received some information relative to
the cost of creosote block paving.
The cost runs from $3.50 to $2.75 per
square yard in large centers of popu-
lation, but it would very likely be
higher here. 1t was reported that the
City of Staples had recently complet-
ed the paving of two blocks at an ap-
proximate cost of $4,000, the abut-
ting property footing the bill. 1t was
not deemed advisable to force the,
matter at present and the committee
was discharged.
C. E. Johnson, Jack Smith and John
Schircliffe were elected members of
the club.
The coming lyceum course was dis
cussed, and it was decided to sell the
tickets at the same price as last year,
$1.00 for the series of five entertain
ments, with 10 cents extra for reser-
vations for each entertainment. The
general admission for each of the
numbers, save the International Oper-
attic Co., will be IS cents. It will cost
SO cents to hear the singers, with 10
cents extra for reservations in each
case.
The first entertainment will be CIV
en- the later part OF October. A tick
ct committee consisting Of B. F. Du-
Dubois, H. F. Henneman, II. L. Lamb,
and ]. B. Schoenhoff were appointed
and given authority to make all ar
rangements. Next weeks Herald will
have something to say about each in
dividual number of the series.
The filtration plant was discussed
quite fully and the City Council were
strongly urged to install the plant if
the investigation being made demon
strated that the plant was feasible.
The Council were urged to replace
the present fire alarm syS-em with the
latest improved Rotary Automatic
System, at a cost of $50. Next weeks
Herald will discuss this apparatus
somewhat at length as it was devised
and patented by local electrician.
