public.
Why do you discriminate against Mexico?
II tho same situation existed In Canada,
or Jalnaica, would you risk war with Great
Britain by meddling with something that did
not concern you!
Under the most tremendous difficulties
General Carranza is endeavorng to do for
his country, what General Bolivar did for
South America, and what General Washing
ton did for the United States. Why should
you be taking sides with the Spanish land
kings aud Spanish priests, who have main
tanned for nearly 400 years foreign DONNA
ton over the native people of Mexico
Cardinal Gibbons has been corresponding
with Archbishop Mora, with view, as he
himself says. oil armed Intervention from this
side Of the border with the internal affairs
of Mexico. The purpose is, Of course, to re-
establish the hateful yoke Of the Spaniards
and of the foreign church, which is the in
satiable blood sucker of every country to
which it attaches itself
Tt was Mora who financed Huerta, when
that savage betrayed and murdered his mas
ter the Constitutional President of the Mex
lean Republic.
Our Civil War lasted four years, and out
side nations did not influence either side. The
Mexican Civil War. precipitated by Generals
Felix Diaz and Huerta, might have ended
long ago, had it not been for the aid which
the reactionaries, the Spanlards, the land
owners, the concessionaires, etc, have received
from this side of the border.
You must be aware of the fact that Yucca
tan is owned by less than $50 Spanish mil
ionaires, and that these foreigners-in blood,
at least-own the 10000 Mexican slaves who
work their hemp producing plantations.
General Carranza had perfect right to
levy tax upon the Yucatan millionaire slave
owners; he had perfect right to enforce the
collection of the tax by blockadlng the port
of Progresso.
Under what principle of the law Of nations,
did our Government interfere and compel the
opening Of this forei On port?
You would not have tried that with any of
the great powers, and you know it.
What excuse, then, can be made for your
treatment of General Carranza in this mat
ter? You invaded Mexico, and seized one of
her ports, causing the loss OF the lives Of
score of our gallant young men, and Of hun
dreds of MeXicans, and you did this because
a Mexican official had arrested some Ameri-
can marines who had no business whatever on
Mexican soil, without Mexican leave. Our
marines were released, a prompt and full
apology was rendered; you refused it, with
the consequent loss of life which ensued.
What are your feelings, when you compare
that incident with the inaction of your De-
partment, when Germany sunk the VIM.
Fry, and destroyed with loss of American
life, the GulAight?
The law of nations is not supposed to be
made for the strong alone like all other just
laws, it is supposed to be made, at least in
part, for the protection of the weak.
When Our own Republic was weak, we APP
pealed often and earnestly to the noble prin-
Piles of international principles with
which the greatest thinkers and greatest law
givers sought to temper the barbarity of war

YOur Uncle e. E.. w. Writes to
WAllla1a2 Jenkins Bryan About
Mexico anl Germany.
HON. VIM. J. Bryan, Seer
Washington. D G.

Dear Sir: Some months ago. this Govern
ment went to the expense of bringing away
from Tampico, number of Roman Catholic
monks and nuns, including some members Of
the Jesuit Order, who had been living in Mex
ico although forbidden to do so by the Mex
lean law Of 1851
In expeling the Roman Catholic orders,
and forbdding monasteries and clustered
nunneres, the Mexican Republic was doing
no more than the italian Government did
after the defeat of Pope Plus TX, in 1870;
nothing more than the French Republic did
some years ago and nothing more than
Portugal has done within the last four OF five
years.
Will you kindly tell me why it was that
this Government considered it a duty to bear
the expense of transporting these Mexican
citizens from Tampico to this country, when
the Roman Catholic church is the wealthiest
on earth. and should have borne the expenses
of those members of its religious orders?
Some weeks ago, it was reported in the
newspapers that our Government had remOn-
strated with General Carranza. and had vir-
tually threatened him. because of his alleged
mistreatment of the Roman Catholic priests
and nuns in Mexico.
Under what principle of international law
does our Government justify it's course? No
such remonstrance was made to the French
Republic, when it suppressed the Roman
Catholic religious orders and expelled the
monks and nuns.
Our Government did not consider it had
the right to demonstrate with Portugal when

lined the building Improvements be-
ing made on the grounds. A new
building is being erected for school
exhibits. An addition is being made
to the woman's building. The hog
house is being doubled in size. Mr..
Riddle stated that new refrigerating
plant is being installed in the dairy
building, and he predicted that visitors
will behold the finest display of dairy
products ever seen in the west. Two
milking contests, divided into classes
A and B, will be held, with $50 cash
prizes in each, in addition to the spe-
cial premiums.
Track Program Attracts.
J. S. Harrington, S. ]. Vanhyning

racing committee, held meeting Fri

are assured of the presence on the local
track of the best horses from Baker

Boise and Caldwell. With the fairs at
Baker, Ontario and Caldwell arranged
for succeeding weeks, it is planned to
have the Oregon horses follow the

pear many Idaho racing steeds which
do not invade the Oregon tracks.

Is the Idaho press detective,
states marshal, a politicians weapon,
a campaign manager, or an upright
vender of news? If certain assertions
alleged to have been made by Sena-
tor Borah are true it is not much else
but a goat. If the senator had any
certain paper in mind when he said
newspapers were to blame for the
nomination of o. V. Allen, he should
have given the name of that paper. If
he had done this he would have ex-
emplified the position which his re-
ported words demand the newspapers
shall take. The report of his saying
that the newspapers wanted to nomin-
ate Allen in order to have a club to
use against the direct primary is hard
to believe. If the newspapers be as
cold-blooded and INSCRIPTIONS as this
they are certainly stupid lot-for the
direct primary produces no trifling
amount of revenue for them.-Glenn's
