he friendly understanding between the two governments and believing the ae- ceptance of such an imposition would be equivalent to yielding by Mexico to hu- initiation. The Mexican government Is confident that the civilized world will find its conduct has been correct and temper ate that it has observed all the require ments of international law and that the refusal to yield further Is inspired only by q regard for it's honor and dignity The draft of the protocol by Mexico and refusal of the United States follows:
 with view to putting an end to the lamentahle incident which occurred al Port Tampico on April g. caused by the detention of nine marines and one officer; considering that such ma rines were immediately put al liberty by General Zaragoza. commander of Port Tampico. and that said officer pre- sented an apology to Rear Admiral Mayo. commander of the American squadron in those waters that after ward when the President of the re- public of Mexico became advised of the facts he expressed regret through the office of foreign relations for the incident and ordered that a tull in- vestigRtion be made to the end that the guilty might be punished, if any be found guilty; and finally that the action in question was due to the zeal ousness of a subaltern, which might be regarded as eXcusable if taken into con sideration that the marines when de- tained had gone ashore in uniform without permission of the military au- thorities, the port being at the mo- ment not only in a state Of war. but under attack by rebels, the charge daffaires of the United States and the minister of foreign relations of Mexico acting in their official capacity agree as follows;

 First that the Mexican government inspired by a desire of showing the good will it feels toward the people of the United States and acting in tho same manner wherein the United States has done in similar cases. binds itself that the American flag be saluted at Tampico by 21 guns from the Mex ican shore batteries or Mexican war ship in those waters.
 Second, that the cannon referred to in the preceding article shall be fired at the moment when the Amer ican flag shall he hoisted to a mast head on the Mexican shore.
 Third that the government Of the United States binds itself to salute tho Mexican flag immediately following the salute by the Mexicans to the Amer ican flag with 21 guns Of the man-of- war Dolphin or any other battleship at anchor in those waters.
 Fourth, the guns to which the pre- ceding article refer shall be fired at the moment when the Mexican flag shall be hoisted to the top of n mast of the aforesaid man. n-of-war. or of any other warshlp in those waters, and to this end both contracting parties at taeh their signature"

A strong proof of the value that
is now being placed by the bust
ness world on men who are sober
is in the number Of big corpora
tions, railways, manufactures, and
the like, that have issued orders
against the drinking of liquor.
One of the latest to take this stand
is the New York, New Haven, and
Hartford Railway. In order to be
sure that this ruling is strictly
obeyed, the railway has employed
detectives to take photographs of
the men caught drinking in sa-
looms. When confronted with the
pictures, they we're given their

About the Women.

The following, which we take
from an exchange with the credit
"Selected" attached to it, just
about tells the whole truth abou,
the matter. Lots Of criticism
comes from people who are inca
pable of just criticism, and are
perfectly ignorant of the rules Of
polite discussion. The remarks
below apply to that kind. If peo-
pie could only have the spirit, en-
ergy and decency to keep their
own backyards clean, they would
have but little time to waste in
trying to adjust people to their
views. The writer says:
[ went into church last night
as meek as meek could be; and 10,
the preacher arose and aimed his
sermon right at me! And while
he rallied at womankind [ smiled

may be dreadful, but we're good
enough for man." Oh, it's woman

BOULEVARD.

At the last regular meeting of the
Mckinley school Parent-Teacher
circle the officers of the past year
were reelected by unanimous vote OF
the members. The closing year has
been a busy one for both school and
circle, working in cooperation with
the school board in replacing play
ground equipment for the pupils; es-
tablishing electric lights in the
school; securing an interest in the
baloptican picture machine recently
purchased by the school board to be
used for educational purposes. We
heartily cooperate with our teachers
and school board and hope to con-
tinue doing so. 1t is our wish that
all the parents in this district should
take an active part in this work.
We wish also that every parent in
Thurston county could have attended
the state convention which was held
in Olympia last week for, in the ex-
change of ideas by mothers from all
parts of the state, 1t would certainly
have been very beneficial to them.

of appreciation to the teachers and
all concerned in the education of our
