Last year the teachers, unmindful
Of their own comfort and the extra

in earlier life had been denied educa-

highly gratifying.
Fifteen were enrolled and progress
was made. This winter the night
school was reopened with larger en-
rollment. The zest Of these men dis

Mexican Issue Sharply Outlined.

Colonel Roosevelt patty remarked at St. Louis
a few days ago, peace still RACES undated along
the Mexican border" As the conditions there will
largely figure in the approaching campaign, the
democrats undertaking to defend the policy of the
president it is Of than usual interest to fol-
low the daily drift Of events. Attention has al
ready been called to the insolent attitude Of the
Carranzaistas towards Americans, and the grow
ing apprehension at Washington that more vigor-
Gus measures will have to be adopted in order to
secure quiet and good order along the border II
Carranza is not actually connvng at these irrita-
tions he certainly is not making much Of an effort
to check them.
Mr.. Wilson Is directly responsible for Car
ranza His refusal to recognize Huerta, no mat
ter for what reason, amounted in effect to an in
reference in the affairs. Of country with whom
we were at peace. The demonstration at Vera
Cruz which eliminated with the withdrawal Of
Huerta from the country, was direct nterfer-
ence with the progress OF the Mexican revolution
distinctly aimed at the head Of the Mexican gov
eminent. Its pretext was never followed up, and
so far as justification is concerned. the incident
is still open. After this maneuver, Mr.. Wilson
continued an intrigue with adherents Of Carranza,
finally recognizing him as de facto president Of
the republic. All this time our president was
calling on Americans to keep hands off, and to
allow the Mexicans to settle their affairs in their
own way. So far as the legality Of the situation
Is involved, Huerta succeeded to the presidency
of Mexico in conformity with the constitution of
that country, and was de jure as well as de facto
ito president. To cali him murderer does not alter
this. Carranza, on the other hand, is the repre-
sentative OF cabai with no rights under the con-
stitution, despite his claim based on having been
chosen "6rst chief at council Of leaders, where
the proceedings were had by delegates overawed
by military force commanded by the outlaw,
Villa, If Huertas claim rested on crime, how
much clearer is Carranza's'
Columbus, Glenn Springs and other massacres
and raids along the border are but incidents
illustrating the inability or indifference Of Car
ranza as to the restoration Of order and stable
government in his country. The whole present
aspect Of the case is due to the miserable
meddling Of President Wilson and his pretense
Of applying altruistic principles to situation that
called for decisive action. Appeals in the name
Of liberty will hardly satisfy Americans who re-
sent the murders and unnamed outrages COM
mitted by Mexicans against American men and
women on both sides Of the border.
The republican partys pledge to protect
Americans everywhere is worth its face value.

Arthur D. Brandeis.

People Of Omaha will feel deep sense of
personal loss in the death of Arthur D., Brandeis.
who was known to so many Of the older residents
because Of his long career as successful business
man in this city, and to the younger generation
for the reason that he was prominently connected
with the growth Of the city in the last few years.
Mr. Brandeis was the last OF remarkable group
Of real builders, J. L. Brandeis & Sons, the latter
being Arthur, Emil and Hugo. This firm began
business in small way, but the energy Of its
members, their foresight and capacity built it
steadily to magnificent proportions Nor were
they busy alone in the affairs Of their mercantile
business. In all public enterprises they were not
only active but generous. The Brandeis monu-
ment stands in stately structures for business, in
beautiful theaters, a magnificent hotel and finally
in the hearts Of friends who were drawn to them
because Of the qualities that attract and hold
friends. Omaha lost heavily as each Of the four,
Jonas L, Brandeis and his three sons were borne
to the grave.
