PRESS OPINIONS
THE PUBLIC FORGETS.
(Albuaueruue Herald.)

Addressing a business mems meet l ing in Oakland, California, last week, V. o. Lawrence, conspicuously suc- cessful California business man, said:
 eff you want to get results, you must advertise continually. The pub lie forgets."
 TO prove his point the speaker fired at his audience the question:
 "Who was President Tafts running mate in the last election?"
 The question was backed by an of- fer of prize to the man who an- swered correctly.
 Not an answer came back. Finally in desperation, a member of the audi ence said:
 Do you know yourself?"
 And MT. Lawrence admitted that he could not remember and had found it necessary to stop at the public ll-1 brary and look it up before coming to the meeting.
 The above came to the Herald Sat urday over the Associated Press wire. The operator who receives that report takes keen interest in public affairs. He is middle-aged man of more than average intelligence and information. After taking the dispatch he admit ted to the business manager of the Herald that he, the operator. didn't know who Taft's last running mate | was. He finally looked it up in the World Almanac-and the rest of the office was relieved when ne announc- ed the result.
 Do YOU know who President Taft's last running mate was?
 The chances are ten to one that you do not, unless the publication of all this in Saturdays news columns caus- ed you to refresh your memory. | If ninety-nine men out of hun dred, and all women forget so vitally l important matter of general public interest as this within few short months, how under the shining sun can Jones. grocer, expect Smith and Mrs. Smith to remember he's in the grocery business without they are told about it every day, and told so force fully that they cannot forget.
 Against this shortness of public memory is pitted the ability of the manufacturer and the merchant tC hold his merchandise at constant at
 tention The measure of his success
 in this is the measure of his whole business success.
 The public forgets. And wh! shouldn't it forget? It has enougf
 to burden its individual and collective mind with day by day. It has nc place in the brain storehouse for defeated candidate, or breakfas | focd, when there are successful can ddates constantly before it withou
 effcrt and successful breakfast food presented without any mental eHor ) whatever. Why shouldn't the publl . forget?
 The public has troubles of it's own
 it's own problems to think about an' solve Keeping the goods you sel }, and your problems and your success - before the public, is your business Q Your success depends on how wei
 you do it.

Not Often the Musician.

To write the history of opera is task arduous enough both in bulk and in research, but comparatively simple in it's method and direct in it's appll- cation. Not so the history of one of its children, the prima donna. An exhaustive treatise upon her natural history would require the colabora. ton of the psychologist, the physiol- ogist, the fnancier, the biographer, and, in less degree and in the minor ity of cases, the musician.

Tn the case of Mexico, we have already been too lenient. Placed in our position, any of the great powers would have brought Mexl- co to terms by armed force months ago. We have been lenient because we are the head of the family Of na- tions of the western hemisphere, but there comes a time when the head or the family has to take refractory member of the family across his knee, regretfully but firmly.

 ROSPERITY
THE MEXICAN SITUATION

The news that IOfmludple olAo! of American battlesnips, loaded with marines, is speeding toward the Mexl- | can coast under instructions to en- force. the ultimatum of the president of the United States has aroused pub Tie sentiment as it has not been sur red since the Spanish American war. Nobody wants war with any foreign country. and least of all with poor Mexico, but public sentiment is unan- imous that the Mexican de facto gov ecnment should be forced promptly to S4make suitable reparation for wan on ' insults to our flag and to give proper assurances of disposition to respect American representatives and Amerl- R can rights in the future Even the minority in both houses of congress is solidly with the presldent@ ana there is no doubt that the whole American people is with President Wilson.
 Following the unwarranted arrest by Mexican authorities at Tamp1co of a landing party from an American war vessel, the Mexicon de facto government failed to make the prop CT disavowal of the act and punish ment of the responsible Mexican of- fjcial that international courtesy and usage demanded and demand was thereupon made that in addition to the disavowal and the punishment of the offending official, the military authorities at Tampico be required to salute the American flag with the national salute of twenty-one guns. The de facto government of Mexico, through an under-strapper, mas agreed to express regret and dlsavow the act of the Tampico official, but General Huerta has made no move' and it now becomes necessary for President Wilson, in order to protect the dignity of the United States, to back the American demand With an armed demonstration. It will take several days for the American fleet to reach Mexican waters. On it's ar rival at Tampico the fleet will prob ably give the Mexican authorities twenty-four hours in which to sa- lute the American flag, and the form al disavowal of the guilty Mexica> official by the Huerta government will be required. Noncompliance with American demands will be fol lowed by the landing of Amerlcal marines and the seizure of the GUS toms house at Tampico, and possibl. by similar procedure at other MeXi can ports. That might easily be fol lowed by incidents that might resul in war.
 1t is altogether likely that tn Huerta government will accede t the American demand, which is en tire reasonable and justified by pre- cedents General Huerta has prob ably adopted his present attitude not for the purpose of forcing trou ble with this country, but for tn purpose of bringing about situs ton that would compel the Unite States to recognize him and his c facto government He probably not without a desire to strengthe his hold on the Mexican presidens and his popularity with the MeNica people by posing as Mexico's cham ion against the gringo.

APPEAL FOR LIBERTY

Concord. y. H.. March a1.-The
final brief on behalf OF Harry X.
Thaw. on hts petition for II wri, Of
habcls corpus and for admission to
bail pending a decision on the aues-
tion of eXtradition, was filed In the
United States district court by coun-
sci today. Z.
The document lays stress on the
claim that the statute under which
Thaw originally was committed to
the insane asylum at Battcwan. New
York. is unconstitutional and there
for II was not crime for him TO es-
cape from custody: that an insane
person cannot commit n crime and
accordingly cannot be extradited on
a charge of committing n crime; that
Thaw's sanity or insanity must be
decided before IL can be determined
that there Is Jurisdiction to extradite
him; and that he Is not a fugitive
from Justice within the meaning of
the federal constitution.
As to bail. counsel maintains that
a defendant is entitled to it in mis-
demeanor case. The brief concludes:
