What is the difference between the
murder Of American men, women and
children on the high seas and the murder
of American citizens in Mexico? Long
before the Lusitania horror Americans
who had gone to Mexico and built rail-
roads and developed mines, thus adding
to the trade and prosperity of both coun-
tries, were murdered without protest
from Washington, while the Lusitania
outrage was made the subject of diplo-
matte correspondence with Germany
which still continues without practical
results. Not only was no attempt made
by the government to protect Americans
in Mexico, but they were told by the
officials at Washington that they had no
business there; that they only went there
to make money and must take their own
risks. Congress has asked in vain for
information concerning the recognition
of Carranza as President of Mexico. All
the transactions of the Wilson admins
t ration with Mexico are as a sealed book
to Congress and the public. The Presi-
dent has had his personal ENJOYS in Mex
leo, but what their mission was and VIVA
they accomplished is known only to him
self. The Chicago Tribune says: Our
Government has suppressed everything
relating to Mexico that it could suppress,
1t has not wanted the facts to be
known" And of the Presidents Mexi-
can policy the Tribune says: 'Tt has
eliminated the United States from the
group of self-respecting powerful ma
tions;" has made the United States a
weakling and the citizens of the United
States unprotected prey"
Of the recent murders in Mexico The
Independent says it IS not merely ques-
ton of Furnishing the murderers. The
ssue is, shall the United States protect
its citizens7 And further: ''This Is a
primary duty of government. The citi-
zen of nation is entitled to the protec-
ton of his government unless he is en-
that by its very nature relieves his gov
eminent from the responsibility Of pro-
tecting him. The responsibility is one
which the government may not ignore
without dishonor And in conclusion
The Independent voices the sentiment OF
all patriotic Americans when it says
that the United States must protect its
citizens in Mexico, and if the Mexican
government cannot do it this govern
ment must do it.

1t is not often that the history of a
community OF 100000 people can be
measured by the span of one mans life.
When Robert T Van Horn, then young
man of thirty, came to Kansas City in
1854 he found frontier trading post of
fewer than 500 inhabitants. A block of
stores and warehouses huddled under
the steep bluffs along the river front.
A miry clay road wound over the hills to
Westport. That was all there was to
Kansas City when Colonel Van Horn
first saw it. American Press.
In 1858 there was railroad from St.
Louis to Kansas City, and it was the only
railroad at that time west of the Missis-
sippi river. We do not recall its exact
name, but it had Pacific as part of it and
no doubt it's promoters had planned for
transcontinental road. The writer was
making trip by steamer from st. Louis
to Fort Leavenworth and remembers
touching at dusk at Kansas City, but all
that was seen of the then town was the
twinkling lights from scattered buildings
on a hillside.

clean, high class entertainment. Why it
was not more literally patronized we
cannot understand. Had the entertain
ment been of less merit realization of
what is due deserving local institution
would have filled the Colonial to the
doors on both nights. The free concerts
on schoolhouse common are enjoyed alike
by residents and summer visitors, but
more than that the band is musical
training school the year around and, sup
pie mented ty the Boys Band, is doing a
good work. When one hears the band
practicing night after night and realizes
that it has to pay rent and buy music,
instruments and uniforms, and then
thinks of the little patronage it receives,
the wonder is that il is able to keep up
its organization and proficiency. We
believe that if the band will repeat their
minstrel show next summer they will
have a real benefit, and no one will ques-
ton but that they deserve it.

news item on another page concern
ing the shipping at the port of New York
lays particular stress on the fact that
there was not a brig in sight, and had
not been far many moons. That was
only to be expected, as the building Of
brlgs-the full rugged and the jackass
briggs, so-called-was given up a great
m any years ago, and we had instead the
hermaphrodite brig, or brigantine, a very
handy rig. The last craft of that rig to
visit this port was the Jennie Hubert,

boyhood Wasmuch interested in shipping,

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE.

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectiyely removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
moval have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the
test of forty years. Insist on having
Hoods, for nothing else acts like it.
There is no real substitute. Get it
today. Sold by all druggists.

An article in the North American Re
view for January on "the Chicago &
Alton Case" says of the Interstate
Commerce Commission:
In the judgment of many thinking
people, they have injured the business of
the country, instead of promoting it,
and by their cramping over-regulation of
railroads have alarmed investors, fright
ened away capital, and prevented the
construction of thousands of miles of
road, which the country already needs,
and will need still more urgently in the
near future. In the judgment of COM
petent observers, they have also forced
into bankruptcy dozens of railroads
which were not mismanaged, and which
might have met all their obligations if
the Commission had allowed them to
make their rates high enough to cover
increased taxes, increased wages, and the
largely advanced cost of materials and
equipment. Eighty-two corporations are
now in the hands Of receivers, and even
Mr.. Prouty will hardly contend that they

"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred
turned,
Nor hell fury like woman scorned"
Thus writes an old-time poet. Today
this spirit is illustrated by the men who,
disappointed in their political ambitions,
or by a change of administration de-
prived Of office, turn against the party
in whose principles and policy they have
professed to believe, and which has
furthered their ambitions and placed
them in office. The leaders of the late
Progressive party, from its head down,
were men of this stamp, a obtained
their following by protesting to be what
they were not-men Of superior virtue
and apostles of reform. Lincoln's words
with regard to fooling the peoples
familiar that they need not be quoted
apply here. A great many people were
badly fooled three years ago, but they
cannot be fooled today.

understanding that if the appointment

chafed at the element of conservatism

Protests against fool legislation multi
ply. A recent issue of the Christian
Science Monitor devotes wide column
and half to a scathing "leader" on
proposed legislation in New Jersey by
which the consent of the medical profess
sion must be obtained before marriage
can be solemn;zed. The Monitor has no
great love for the medico's, and the art
Gle, which abounds in classical and his
torical illusions, is mainly directed at
that profession. That is, however, aside
from the main issue, the increase OF
fool legislation. If it continues, forging
link after link in chain to fetter Amer
lean citizenship, we may see reversal
of emigration-Americ seeking in
Europe the fir edom denied them at

A recent Civic League lecture in Boze-

morous was at bottom very practical.
One thing the lecturer said amused his
hearers very much. He said that even
experts in the same line differ, The
poultry experts at Bozeman and Wash
ington (5tate) do not agree. He asked
the Bozeman expert why hen laid an
egg, and the reply was, because it would
break if she threw it; and when he went
home to Washington be asked their ex-
pert the same question and was told it
was because it would choke her if it
came up tha other way.
