an said no communication Of any kind
had been had with Huerta recently,
and the only communication since
John Lind left Mexico City for Vera
Cruz had been messages relative to
the whereabouts and safety of Amer
leans and other foreigners and few
dispatches of an utterly routine char
acter. The secretary was asked
whether he would entertain any pro-
posal from Huerta which would deal
with Huerta's position or with any
move Huerta might desire to make
in restoring order. He said that this
government maintained its original
position that elimination of Huerta as
a factor in Mexican affairs was the
chief requisite to the creation there
of an organized government.

Mrs. Drummond received in 1908, but

and South American allies" to force
peace in Mexico was the suggestion

Il have felt all along that the dssire
on the part Of many people that the
federal government should intervene
in Mexico sprung, not out OF the mind
or the heart, but out OF the pocket
book" said Kent.
81 believe it is more than dreadful
to expect that those in Washington or
out Of Washington who are making
the loudest clamor for somebody to
intervene and get killed In Mexico,
would volunteer to act as the front
edge of the entering wedge.
Intervention in Mexico by the
United States single-handed and alone
would, in the minds OF the people OF
Mexico, be interpreted as an act die
tated by selfish national interest &c
be followed as in the past. by taking
over Mexican territory.
! in one sense it might be a good
thing for Mexico because 1t woult
bring union among Mexicans wher;
now there is strife. But the act o
resisting aggression would surely re
suit in the sacrifice OF many Ameri
can lives as innocent and as valuable
as the lives OF those of Americans whe
! have expatriated themselves for pro
| fit. This Is not a thing to be lightly
contemplated.
I'VE can never justify it under the
doctrine of altrslism or as being par
of the white mans burden.
| sWar resolves itself into the plain
simple proposition OF killing and beins
killed. / see no reason why we shouls
enter Mexico at any such cost o
blood and treasure and see ever!
reason why we should not sacrifice
our young men to peculiarly ill-au
vised method of interfering with ou

evident fact that the Ogonian editor of him. has
concluded he has laid enough eggs to entte him to do
incubatng stunt He wants to sit set whichever it is
and the desire has reached such acute stage that like
the mOthery yincined hen he isn't particular what he
tackles to incubate This is shown by the avdity with
which he tackles the china egg just does his eahered
prototype when the incubating fever strikes her.
Some caustic comment might be made to this lido
syncrasy on the editors part but far be it from o

think of our fellow editor abOng under the fever of sed

too sentimental for rbad comment and yet not serious

Those who object to school savings
banks, it is safe to say, have not looked
thoroughly into the workings of these
splendid agencies of thrift
One objection raised sometimes is
that poor children are mortified by the
smallness of their savings as compared
with those of the children OF the we'll

it is the children of the poor wac are
the largest patrons of the school banks.
Every individual has some hard
knocks coming to him in the course of
his life. The sooner the child learns
to save money the better will be his
chances for success when he begins to
work for living. The younger he
learns the lesson of thrift, the better
his start.
