The Mexican Policy.

ST PAUL, MINI, March 3O.--.To the
Editor OF The Bee: The British govern
ment will make no modification in its
paper blockade" policy, although our
president has entered his protest against
It. Those Englishmen have probably made
note of his correspondence with the vari-
Gus Mexican bandits and know that he
cannot do anything worse than write an
other letter. which might. perhaps, hurt
their feelings, but would neither cripple
nor kill anybody OF anything.
History shows that protests and re-
rnonstrances emanating from Washington
carried more weight in former times.
When Napoleon III was politely and
automatically informed that the Mexican
climate might become decidedly unhealthy
for French soldiers, he took the hint and
moved out with commemorate prompt
ness and dispatch. II the wonderful
policy OF "wstchful waiting" had been
invented fifty years ago and adhered to
ever since. Macmillan would have been
emperor of Mexico today and would prob
ably have added Central America
Panama and the canal zone to his domain
long ago. And IT, may be safely added
that none OF the present day bandit gen
erals would have gone unhung as they
now do. D. 5. HERvIN.

Ooiu. backward.
LINCOLN, March 90.-ro the Editor Of
The Bee: would like to submit TO the
citizens Of Nebraska a few remarks in
regard to the female labor law. which
was signed by the governor. and which
puts Nebraska far behind the progress
sive states OF the union in labor legisla-
ton, and even behind most OF the Euro
pean countries. The bill means to elimi-
nate all cities under 5000 from the nine
hour-a-day female labor law, which was
a great credit TO the state. and the
preservation OF womanhood. and now its
repeal comes as thunderbolt at time
when Nebraska ranks high In the legisla-
tive and financial affairs of the United
States.
This law means that the owners Of
laundries or other institutions employing
female labor can locate an office in cities
over 5000 and move their factories to the
small suburbs, and work the women as
many hours a day as they see fit. and
the women and girls will have no protec-
tion. IL is no wonder to my mind that
Miss Eaves and others entered a protest
against this said vicious bill which the
governor has signed. The people OF Ne
braska, especially the laboring people,
should insist that the democratic iegisla-
ture carry out the promise OF. their plat
form, which was in favor of an eight
hour law. FRED EISSLER.

HO[D-UP HERE
CROSSTlES PLACED ON TRACK
NORTH OF CITY SUNDAY MORN
ING ENGINEER SAW OBJ
SRUCTION IN TIME.

What seems to have been an at
tempted holdup of southbound Santa
Fe train No. 5, just north of the city
Sunday morning was averted by the
alertness of the engineer and the ap-
parent loss of nerve on the part OF
those who were evidently preparing
to relieve the passengers and eX-
press cofpany of what valuables were
possessed on board.
The attention of the engineer was
attracted to a pile of crossties on the
tracks threesmiles north of the city
near the Maurice switch. He slowed
down. and when the engine hit the
ties, they Were scattered. The en-
gineer states that as he brought the
train to stop, he saw two persons
running away from the scene, but
could give no accurate description
of the parties.
So quickly was the whole incident
gone through, that none of the pas
sengers were apprised of what had
taken place, and with very brief
stop the train proceeded on its way
arriving here on time
The special agents of the Santa Fe
were notified and came here to make
an investigation. Officials of the
company have little to say about the
matter, other than that the affair is
being investigated.
From what it is learned, it is sur
missed that whoever the persons were
they were new hands in the game OF
holdup, lost their nerve at the last
moment, and fled.
