The Ugly San Ignscio Affair.

Another invasion Of the United
States by Mexicans, three regulars
killed and six wounded. This time
there was no raid on defenceless set
tiers. but an organized attack upon n
troop Of the Fourteenth Cavalry by
moonlight near San I~gnaclo. the Mex
leans stealing around to the rear Of
the camp before opening fire. The
Mexicans exchanged shots with the
American cavalrymen for half an
hour and lost six or eight If their
number.
Bandits" IL a convenient term FOR
the aggressOrs. but II Is wearing thin.
Such tactics ms the Mexicans en-
ployed and such fighting as they did
are not characteristic of horse thieves
and cattle raisers. In this case the
frontier was we'll guarded on the
American side. The attack began on
one troop and another rode TO Its re-
lief, so that the invaders found them
selves engaged with n stronger force
Of American regulars. The Mexirans
were we'll supplied with ammunition,
Judging from the cartridge belts Of
those who were killed. and again
there Is a pursuit across the border.
However, 1t Is not In Chihuahua or
in Coahuila that the American de-
tachment will chase the bandits"
but In the State of Nuevo Leon.
The affair illustrates the difficulty
Of guarding the boundary line along
It's extended and sinuOus length.
And there are other things II throws
light on the Mexican side is seeth-
ing with hatred Of the "%gringos," and
the Carranzistas either do not or
cannot prevent invasions OF American
territory. Unfortunately. there is no
hope Of any change for the better.
II may even he said that except In
frontier towns OF some size there is
no Mexican patrol Of any kind.
The plain truth Is that at least
100000 men r needed to police the
country on both sides Of the Rio
Grande. As General PERsHING's
force cannot be withdrawn and the
Mexican Government will neither re-
cede from Its demand for the evacua-
ton Of its territory nor distribute
Its soldiers along the Rio Grande for
police duty. tho danger Of armed in
tervpntion, owing to Mr.. WILSON'S
spineless policy, daily increases.

BULL MOOSE OBITUARY..
The Progressive Party's Inception.
Ideals and Demise.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: 1t
would lie rank ingratltude should the
American people witness the disin-
tegratlon If the Progressive party
without shedding a few tears. Life
will not be quite the same in this
republic with the Bull Moose laid to
rest and the onward Christian soldiers
who brought him into politics, and
kept him there for foul long, beauti-
full years. coming back into the old
parties minus their bandannas and
hymn books.
The Progressive party from It's
birth to its demise has been too good
TO he true. Born as II was OF right
eous indignation and fervent hero
worship, It began its picturesque
career with It's head In the clouds and
It's feet on the beatitudcs. 1t has
been from the cradle to the grave an
amusing combination of Don Quixote
and Sancho Panza, n dual personality
hat was doomed of necessity to n
short life.
Third party movements IN this
country have always possessed two
elements without either of which
they would not have come into ex-
istencs. They sprang from a protest
and centre around a personality. The
reason why the ProgrcssiveS ~ all
the third parties in American history,
gathered the largest following and
made the most noise lies in the fact
that the protest the party made at It's
inception was founded upon Justice
and the personality about which IL
Vn1tIaI ,.na V,nsyNaffa f1vnaftAt nnh
possessed Of genius for leadership.
But it's protest Is no longer peril
nent, reform having come OF the Re-
publican party; and It's leader ener-
Reticnlly asserts that he is out Of
politics. Under such conditions W
IL the Bull Moosers were wholly COM
posed Of n lunatic fringe they would
be forced To d~lsintcErate as a political
party. And there is no good reason
why the most ardent Progressive
should despair of the republic a
the party whose cradle he rocked has
passed away In It's infancy. II came,
II saw. and. in n way, II conquered.
II purged the older parties Of many
glaring faults and defects that with
out its sudden rise 10 considerable
power would have persisted for AN
Indefinite period. The mark of It's
humaritarlanism is IN the platforms
lust adopted 10y the Republican md
democratic parties. The Progressive
party. despite its rainbow chasing
and other worllliness. has not wasted
it's sweetness upon the desert air. II
has accomplished n number Of thing,
that were well worth doing, and IT.
