 save to give the news. which can
 not be said always in favor of

 Alaskan papers with news"
 Now, the facts concerning the tele- graph service in the first Sunday issue of the Dispatch are that it contained just eleven dispatches in addition to it's baseball news that came with it's Associated Press report. On the oth. CT hand it contained q dispatches talk. on from Saturday evenings issue. Of The Empire. We do not object to the Dispatch's using our news. It is re- garded as ard is legitimate journal. ism for it to do so. However, if The Empires news service is good enough to furnish the Dispatch twice as many dispatches as its Associated Press re- port furnished for its first Sunday edi, ton it is too good for the Dispatch to criticise adversely.
 So far as the news and editorial quality Of The Empire is concerned. it must speak for itself. What those who make the paper could say about it or what they may think of it makes 1t no better or worse.

These people who are insisting up
on war with Mexico don't know what
they are talking about" said a veter-
an Of the civil war. They do not COM
prehend that war means hell"
one hears it frequently. but in most
cases. as the veteran said, it comes
from the thoughtless. the rash, or
from the political critic, who would
like TO cast reflections on Pres. Will
sons management of the affair. Hap
PLY the president has a cool head ana
a kind heart. He can foresee conse-
quences and would avoid them if pos
sible. consistent with honor and dig
nlty. He caught at the offer of medi-
alton from South America as a for
lCrn hope Of peace without war and a
period OF inactivity was proclaimed to
lessen the provoking causes of antag-
onism.
No, the United States does not want
war. Necessity only will compel it
to engage in bloody strife even for
the maintenance of its own honor and
dignity, and it will go to war only to
assure the restoration of law and or
der. But that must be established.
The peace and quiet of the continent
cannot contiue to be disturbed indef-
initely and the friendly offices of the
United States despised. Public welfare
demands that a settlement be reached
and that the people of Mexico be per-
mitted 10 resume their usual occupa-
tions under good government and just
laws
The American nation has no blood
or treasure To needlessiy waste. II
reeds its young men 10 do it's great
work Of peaceful progress and it needs
its money Ia make conditions of life
better for all If wasted in war the
country must suffer in proportion and
Progress must be accordingly delayed

THE POSER AND THE CAMEL.

AS affording an example OF the
rarity OF christian charity young Mr..
Rockefeller has no competitors. He
sticks TO his policy Of letting the Col
orado situation severely alone. Be
fore his Bible class next sunday he
will probably dissertate on the glorious
work Of foreign missions.
We are beginning 20 fear young Mr..
Rockefeller il a sad poser and that
his religion is a cloak in which TO
serve the Standard Oil company.
Standing before his Bible class on
Sunday morning he makes a conspicu-
Gus figure Of the rich man who is try
ing 10 get by the camel test. The pic
ture is calculated 10 deceive even the
guardian Of the gate, and but for the
background might succeed. The
background is set in Colorado and pre-
sents a scene Of bloodshed and de-
struction. the miseries of poverty and
distress.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller is not look
ing at the stage setting. He has turn
ed his back upon it, Absorbed in his
selfish egotism and grounded in his
self-suficiency he has no sense of his
responsibility. RE has turned deaf
ear TO the CRY Of distress from Colo
RADIO. He ignores the demand of the
nation for his interference. He trusts
TO his hired agents in the field and
piously washes his hands of the whole
proceeding.
Love and charity is the doctrine
young Mr. Rockefeller breaches TO his
Bible class, but Mammon is the god
he worships. We are not judging the
chances of this rich man for heaven,
but by comparison the passing Of a
camel through the eye of a needle
looks easy 10 us.
While young Mr.. Rockefeller
breaches and prays or calmly sits at
his desk counting his dividends the
bloodshed and burnings so merrily on
and the national government must add
his responsibilities TO its perplexities.

There's really nothing very alarm

At 10 diagnoses. a record of fifty
three correct ones is really rather

supposed that American residents
there were confined TO a comparative
~ few mine and plantation owners
that FIVE thousand will be brought out
by the way OF Vera Cruz is an indi-
cation of the true state of affairs
American enterprise has taken mil
lions Of capital into the country for
investment in mines. plantations rail-
roads and other lines of business.
These investments have taken with
them mining engineers. agricultural
experts, labor bosses, office men and
ether men skilled in their specialties.
including experienced miners and
farmers. and most of these have been
followed by their families and have
set up homes in different parts Of
Mexico.
The large American population thus
created attracted small dealers in
goods OF all descriptions suited TO the
needs OF both foreign and native pop
ulatiOn. agents promoters. specula-
tors and many small farmers have
been induced TO settle there by the
salubrity of the climate, the fertility
of the soil and the prospect of large
returns for their labor.
To some extent the American farm
ers. laborers and others have fra
ternized with the natives and estab-
l.shed a quasi friendly footing. but
have never been able to conquer the
antipathy of the Mexicans for the
"Gringo" and their envy of his thrift
and prosperity. 1t would have re-
quired, therefore. less than the pro-
voking cause found in the disturbed
state OF the country and the seizure Of
Vera Cruz to fan antipathy. jealousy
and envy into malice and to make the
position OF Americans in Mexico pre-
carious.
Many outrages, murders, fortunes
and despoliation, have been commit
ted by federals rebels and bandits.
as attested by reports sent out from
the country and by the condition and
stories of refugees who have reached
Galveston in a destitute state. half
clothed and half starved. Their prop
erty has been confiscated or de-
stroyed. at least abandoned to save the
lives of the owners. Eventually there
must be a settlement on the part of
the Mexican government, but it will be
small compensation for the property
lost and the suffering and distress en-
dured
