WATCH YOUR STEP
 BY THE CONDUCTOR
exico

I'm beginnin' to get cold feet on this Mexico business.
 Wasn't MT. Taft a wise one to pass up tn chance of mixin' in it? I'm afraid Messrs. Wilson an Bryan has monkey doodled so long them Mexi- cans think us nuts is scared of 'em.
 Now, Mir Wilson is a awful good man. He never went huntin' in all his life, cause he didn't want to kill no animals. He can't stand tn sight O blood. Danny Lynch says he won't let 'em use fly swatters in tn white house. He makes 'em catch the flies an put 'em out tn screen doors. He's that tender hearted
 An so Woody an Bill ain't gonna shake hands with no Mexican that sticks a knife in any other Mexican. They say it's all right if you chloro- form a man or hold his head under till he's drowned, or you can indict him an worry him to death. but you must mt draw blood on him.
 Poor old papa Huerta! Wilson cut him dead right from tn start. Then comes along all these other big butch CTS an he is up against it for sure. He's looking for a Mexican big enough to lick all them high blunders. but he won't let 'em use a gun or a carvin'

CANNOT ABANDON PREPARA-
 TONS

It is a fact well recognized by the
 president and the heads of other de-
 partments of the government that while hope for a peaceful adjustment of the Mexican trouble is increased by the favorable progress being made in connection with the move for media tion by the South American republics. that preparations for the return of the more serious outlook cannot be abandoned. Something more assuring must be disclosed before any luII can take place in the programme of getting ready for the worst. This is one cause for the need of giving prompt attention to the early determination of just what can be expected from this offer of good offices from Brazil, Argentina and Chilli. To have it's best effect 1t must show prompt results that any more serious conditions may be avert CT, should success follow the tender
 Until some definite outcome is as sured precautionary measures must be taken Wisdom demands it the same as it did the replacing of the embargo on arms along the Mexican border un- til it can be fully determined what the relations of this country and the en- tire constitutionalist party are going to be. The crisis has opened to se- were criticism the act of lifting it since the unfriendliness of the rebel leaders following the course which this coun- try pursued would simply have meant that what munitions of war were dis tributed to them would be turned against our troops. The rebels are well supplied, thanks to our action and our reliance upon their doing the right thing, but the impossibi1ity of regain ing the advantages given them should they decide to resist this country, could not be recalled, and shows the fallacy of relying upon chance rather than preparations. The need of guard ing against the unexpected is always present.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Optimists.

Our confidence in the constant im- provement of the world is not a mat ter of faith. We do not need to shut our eyes. cross our fingers and repeat a creed. Our assurance is based upon knowledge. An understanding of his tory, of the conditions of society in former times compared to this time, and of the steady growth of liberty and civil rights, forms the foundation of our conclusion.
 Further ground for our hopefulness consists in our realization that it is in mems power to improve the world they live in. We are finding out that hu- man welfare grows, not only by provi- dence or superhuman laws, but also by our own efforts. By organized ex- ertion we have overturned tyrannies, abolished slavery, removed plaques, and rendered life in the twentieth cen- tury hundred times more agreeable than 1t was in the eighteenth. What we nave done we can continue to do. We can go on improving our state, we can produce wealth less wasteful1y and distribute profits more fairly, we can raise the condition of the workingnan, Hberate woman, give children better training, curb swollen fortunes and wealth combinations. We no longer look to kings and nobles to do those things for us. Hence our optimism.
 But optimism is not only logical affair. It is a state of mind a tenn peramental product. Wherever you find wealth, vigor and work you find optimism. Pessimism is a secretion of morbid mind, of weakness, anae- mia or idleness.
 We are optin1ists because we are better fed, housed and clothed, have more books and newspapers, have the remedy for social wrongs in our own hands in the agency of democracy, and in short have a faith and joy in life and it's possibilities not based upon tradition or authority. but upon facts, upon instincts, and upon the con- sciousness of our strength.
 That is why this great people front the future with morning faces" and refuse to melt in fear at the alarms of the calamity howlers.

 While many defects have existed since the amendment to the military laws of the country since 1898 these have been gradually eliminated until by this new law better and more stable war footing is quickly obtain able. It is by no means 8 measure proposed to meeting the existing emer- gency, but one which has long been recognized as necessary whenever a call might be issued for the state troops. It simplifes and strengthens the federal power in case of war.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

4 copy of the Meriden Journal dated Monday, April 20. reached The Repub- lican editorial rooms in the mail re- ceived Sunday, April 26. And still there are people who want the government to operate the railroads.-Waterbur Republican.
 The kaiser would eat sausages on Sunday evening, but the butcher who sold them to the kaiser's cook was ar rested and fined for the violation of the Sunday law. Which may indicate that in spite of his medals the kaiser hasn't the pull of an ordinary Amer ican alderman.-Hartford Times.
 While MT. Bryan and the South American gentlemen are talking the men who are trained in war are busy and should no longer be hampered by theorists It looks more and more as a big job forced upon him. The time for half measures Is past-Meriden Record.
 Congressman Bryan F. Mahan is sending out circulars containing copies of the speech of House Leader Under wood against repeal of the free tolls act. The congressman hopes perusa1 of the speech will cause Connecticut voters to agree with Underwood The congressman IS III tfIoi' IL IS He, not his constituents. who needs to think the matter over.-Hartford Post.
 It is a great pity-and the tragedy of it spells the comedy-that the people of Mexico should be fed by their censored newspapers with such ridicu lously mendacious reports as that Eng land, France and Germany have de- clared war on the United States and that American soil has been invaded by Mexican armies. The newspapers of Mexico City have not yet been all lowed to print the news of the capture of Torreon by Villa At this rate they may announce within a week that the federal, Gen. Velasco, has captured New Orleans and is threatening Wash ington. Gen Huerta Is a master jour- nalist, but our common troubles may be prolonged by his methods.-Spring- field Republican.
