LET THE PRESIDENT
HANDLE THE ISSUE.

nv Mexican outlaws is no doubt eH-
asperating, and it has naturally
brought forth just resentment
throughout the United States. But the
feet that enemies of the present adj
ministration have mounted it as a hob-
Inv should cause every democrat 70
stop, look and listen. Are we to sup
nose that Theodore Roosevelt, res
tive at all times. and William Ran
dolnb Hearst are more patriotic than
other citizens of this country "hen
thew urge immediate intervention IN
Mexico? The able American no"
in the White House and his capable
cabinet understand the situation
thoroughly, and it may be safely as
sumcd that they will do the right
thing as they have in other issues
which have confronted the United
States during the past few years
Mir. Roosevelt calls attention to tho
fact that he ordered the invasion OF
Cuba when insurrcctionistS MAGE
unsafe for Americans to dwell II
that island. There is no parallel be-
tween the issue presented BY IUDa
and that of Mexico Cuba was and IS
under the suzeranity Of the United
States and had at that time been
wrcsted from Spain in order tnat the
island might set up housekeeping IN
it's own way. As is generally the case
after a war for independence, con-
fused conditions existed which had
to be ironel out. The United States,
after bringing order out of chaos,
left the Cubans TO govern themselves
Mexico is an independent country,
u sister republic, and this country mas
recognized the CarranZa government
In . national point Of view we have no
more to DO with the country'S inter
nal affairs than VIC have with those
OF England, France, Germany, or any
other nation. When the powers that
be guarantee they will do all in their
power to ;vcrgc murders and rem
der other satisfaction, it is but pro-
per 70 give them time to make good
their promises.
A few years ago Jews were being
il-trcatcd in Russia, as they have
been at times almost since the begin
ming of the Christian era. Subscr!p-
tons were made for their relief in
the United States and protests sent
TO the Car against the persecution
OF the Semites. He was called upon TO
arrest the perpetrators of these out
RACES and punish them. 1t will be re-
membered that Russia sent gentle
reminder that the government was
able to manage its own internal al
fairs. This was soft rebuke. Carran
"a should be given the same chance
that was accorded the Gar.
Attempts were made in the Senate
yesterday TO make breach between
that body and the administration
over Mexico. The President and his
Cabinet met and decided to continue
the administration policy and allow
Carranza to punish the murderers OF
American citizens. There was. how
ever. 4 break of Indignation and de-
mand for intervention Senator Stone
chairman Of the Foreign Relation Com
rittce, pleaded with his colleague:
TO support the President. For Gods
sake, give Carranza a chance" he
cried in y speech on the floor.

RENO SEES THE DIFFERENCE

FRANK Reno was ir town the last
OF the week and was pondering over
the advance soon to be made in the
cost of Registration of animals in
Snort holn headquarters at Chicago.
He SEN in for registration of 40
calves md was Informed that his ap-
plicauqn was listed for registration
but tnat it would be long time be-
fore AZ would get the papers as they
had RECEIVED 10000 in December and
were Werking a full force night and
day amp standing no c1ance of keep
ing upEwith the work The price Of
registrAtion is to be advanced from
three dollars to ten dollars this
month
Mr%Reno has been in the cattle
business in this valley for good
while, having bought his first short
Horn of Y. Taylor near Eagle Rock
in 1sS4It with money that he bor-
rowed from Bergman I Rogers. He
was tending the toll bridge west Of
Blackfoot at that time, and Mrs.
Reno took his place at the toll house
for the day while Frank went to
Taylor's ranch, bought the bull and
drove him to Blackfoot the same day.
He has $50 of the breed and has
made little money since then.
We asked him what the difference
would have been if he had bought a
scrub animal that day and spent his
time rearing the same kind of stun.
He replied promptly that he would
have made nothing. That 4 register
ed animal eats no more than a scrub
and is worth great deal more. That
one difference is that II a man has
> good animal he will take better

get better results on that account in

that SOW. Well, this neighbor OF
mine wanted to go down below for

DOWN ON THE FARM

Fred Fay was in from his farm
east of town, Friday, and remarked
that it was pretty dry but not so
dog-goned dry. He has an orchard at
his place and a cider mill that mills
at times and that relieves the drouth.
Fay says he doesn't like cider except
when it is sweet, and it won't stay
sweet while he develops another
thirst and the cider gradually
changes till it makes him pull face
and he quits.
Seems to us Fay might invite a
few fellows to come out with a mouth
and straw apiece!

CAN MAKE NO
FURTHER PROGRESS

The following letter was written
as comment upon our plans for
the silver contest Note that the
writer says he does not think he can
improve upon his present plans, yet
he is hungry for something better
and wants to rear from others. We
think that Is a good sign and we
predict that he will evolve plans of
his own that will be a decided i'm
provement upon the present, what
ever it is. We think that just from
the tone of his letter. Read it and
see what you think, and then write
us yourself. We want to hear from
you.
Mr.. Bales Letter
Mr. Trego.
Dear Sir:
1T seems to me that instead of
giving a prize for improvement on
management, it would have been bet
ter to have started with prize on
the best plans of management sub
mitted, and then follow UP with the
improvement scheme. l have fol-
lowed plan on my place for the last
three years and it has been very
successful 1t doubled my net in
come from the start and each year
sees an increase over the preceding
year. And honestly, don't see
where can improve on the plan.
1t would take long article to state
my plan, and suggest improvements
on 1t. Then too, believe you would
get better results, that is, you would
get more replies by having them tell
how they are running their farms at
present. would like to hear from
some of the successful farmers who
must have some definite plans about
rotation Of crops, number and kinds
Of stock kept, etc., plans for rotation
Of crops should come first and the
best methods of cultivation naturally
follow"

Twin Falls News during the first To-

but he was attending the land show
at Chicago during the election. He
was confident things would be wet,
all right, but still he felt enough
anxiety to wire to the foreman, Mr..
Reed, framing his telegram as fol-
lows: wire results of election in
Bingham, Bannock, Fremont and
Twin Falls counties"
Reed sent him this telegram:

Heber c. G. Rich was in town one
evening and we found him busy at
Dustin's pharmacy seated on stool
with his back to the soda fountain.
Heber did not seem at, all dry; on
the contrary he was running off at

shaving soap or something he was
saying:
