SIRE TO MAKE TROUBLE.

Because of the killing of Gen.
Orosco and four other Mexicans of
more or less prominence, the people
along the Mexican line are arming
and assembling in fear Of serious
trouble
But we greatly fear that the-real
menace is not to Americans on this
side of the line. but to those who still
linger in anarchy-ridden Mexico, when
the news becomes generally known.
Orosco was very popular and, un-
fortunately, with the lower classes of
Mexico who will not hesitate to seek
revenge upon the first man or woman
of American citizenship that crosses
their paths.
1t is no doubt necessary to put
down the bandit raids into United
States territory with an iron hand,
still it is to be regretted that a posse
of % Americans could not capture
! five Mexicans without killing them in,
what Will surely appear to their
/ friends, ruthless manner.
The posse was within the law, as it
appears the outlaws began the fight;
i nevertheless, their act has sadly
jeopardized the safety of hundreds of
4 their fellow cOuntrymen.
Rather than to attempt to suppress
\ the tidings. it would seem much
wiser policy for this government to
provide the various Mexican leaders
with a full and frank statement of the
facts as they are, requesting that they
put before the Mexican people in the
proper light, than TO permit eXagger-
ated accounts, which viii enraSe the
peon class to a condition of frenzy.
TO 20 forth Americans in Mexico
will be. we believe. in greater per-
sonal danger. when the news of the
killing of these men reaches the mass
es via the grape vine route, than at
any time since Diaz left the Mexican

LoAFING IN COLLEGE.

A@NtM i VI " VI III -
1t is always refreshing when an
educator tells a home truth about
education. Dean Ballet Of the School
of Pedagogy in New York university
did il when he said 20 a conference
at Oakland. Cal. that college life
means four years Of lOafing.
Pursuant of a hay ideal of general
culture commonly leads to idleness
because the end is indefinite. The
same youth who saunters through an
arts course. specializing in glee club
and athletics, Will work hard in pro-
fessional school later because the
end is definite; and IN the process
he incidentally acquires more real
culture than before.
If there is a more practical sugges-
ton than that OF Dean Ballet we fail
TO remember it, 1t is 10 turn the
last two years OF college into pro-
fessional training. This would bring
our system nearer that OF the Ger
man universities, which get their
students two years younger than 0Ur

PROSPERITY RISING

The south is finding that il isn't so
badly off after all. Putting cotton on
the contraband list. the thing that
was feared more than anything else,
has had little effect so far, and in fact
has been followed by slight rise in
price instead Of a ruinous decline.
Many factors tend to encourage the
south. The people realize now how
far their fears of last year fell short
of realization. The cotton growers
lost money because Of the low prices
but they sold almost as much cotton
abroad in . months as in either of
the two years previous. 1t seems like
~ that still more of the cotton win
De needed both at home and abroad
this year. The demand for it as ma
teriaI for explosives is constantly in
creasing. Moreover. England is ex-
pected to do everything possible to
strengthen the cotton market. in order
to counteract the anti British senti-
ment developed in the south by her
embargo.
Not the least helpful factor has been
the action of the secretary or the
treasury in announcing the placing of
$50. geo in gold at the disposal of
the cotton belt banks, without inter-
est, TO be used in making cotton loans
at rate not to exceed six per cent.
That sum isn't so big, as crop values
go; but it is big enough to have a
powerful psychological effect. and will
doubtless be followed by other de-
posts for the same purpose if they
are needed.
The result is likely To be a steady
growth OF the business Improvement
that has already begun in the south,
aided by the grain crops and thriving
manufacturers. And when the south
becomes prosperous, the whole coun-
try will be

THE APPLES OF INDIANA.

(LOSdnSpOfC PharOS-R epOrter) }.
Do you know that your state ranks
seventh in the production OF apples ?
Do you know that Indiana is one OF
the important horticultural states
Do you know that the possibilities for
profitable fruit growing in Indiana
have not been more than one-four-
teenth developed? Do you know
tEat there are thousands of acres in
IL LLAMA that can not proftably be
planted to general farm crops, but
which is excellent orchard land2
These questions are propounded by
The Fruit Grower which is conduct
ing a campaign for the development
of the fruit lands in Indiana, these
lands being set down as among the
best in the whole American domain.
Every person who has kept his eyes
open the last few days has been as
tOnished at the magnificent apples
which have been coming into the mar
ket from the Cass county orchards
Maiden Blush, Bell Flower, Pippins of
various kinds, as yellow and rosy and
buNom as was ever garnered from the
trees Of any orchard in the great
Hoosier state or any other state. The
weather this year has been particu-
larly favorable 10 the development Of
fruit of all kinds. and the scientific
use of sprays by the fruit grower has
destroyed many of the fruit pests
which have attacked the trees since
the feathered scavengers have been
driven out and destroyed, but in many
cases old orchard trees that were sup
posed TO have forever ceased their
pTOductiveness have surprised the ma
tives by bringing forth fruit in their
old age that is as beautiful and lus-
cious as the best efforts of their days
OF youth.
