The Republican
Responsibility

The republican party, always the
PARTY OF courage, oil pioneering, Of
initiative in graphing with those
problems involving the extension OF
nne power and prestige and world
wide honor OF the United States;
the party, as pointed out by ex-Presi-
dent TAFT, which has regarded the
Constitution as an instrument whose
CHIEF glory is that
Its simple comprehensive terms
/ include in the National powers
these faculties needed to dis
charge its duties and work out
Its destiny as n Of the great
families Of Nations"
rhe republican party; which II II had
a Roosevelt as president sitting
around the Peace table. would have
tathered a treaty much more sweep
ing and courageous than the present
one. SO far as Americas entry into
world affairs in concerned; the re-
publican party at this time must not
forget its traditional policies and its
present responsibility,
The enemy is signing a treaty
which has been evolved after months
of herculean and unprecedented la
Dor by the leading statesmen Of the
world. 1t is not a perfect treaty.
No perfect treaty can be devised by
imperfect man nor imperfect human
nations, This treaty includes an ar
rangement, an experiment, In the
preservation Of peace and the pre-
ventipn OF war, SO far as humanity
possible. Neither men Q nations
have changed in the twinkling Of
an eye. In the working out of the
League Of Nations plan actual condiT
lions and actual human nature have
been recognized, 1t is not founded
upon the theory that henceforth in
dividuals and countries are to be
angelic. Out OF International chaos
the peace councillors have found a
niece of solid common ground on
which ia take a new start. Take
this ground from under their feet
and the alternative is again chaos,
every fellow for himself and the
devil take the hindmost.
The Republican party in control or
the United states Senate and House
Of Representatives, is to receive IN
due course from the President this
treaty and this covenant Of aALeaBue
Of Nations for consideration and &C
ton; for acceptance. or for modifiea-
ton and reservation. It will receive
this treaty from an egotistical execu-
tive, who has with seant courtesy in
dicated his low opinion Of the states
manahip OF the Congress and who.
has c~onspicuously neglected the de-
florence due from one branch Of the gov
eminent to another; who has been
wrapped up in his self-complar
cency and cynical assumption Of SUI
neriority that he has deliberately jeo-
pardized the success Of his own states

100000 Pesos Of
Creels Discovered in
Mexican Treasury

Mexico, City. -When representatives
Of the famous Creel family Of Chi

quests for information regarding the
Whereabouts OF mining, railway and
other valuable stock valued at close
to 2,00Q,Q00 pesos, they were aston

it only had been discovered a few
months ago,
According to published accounts,
workman while cleaning out d spare
room In the building used by the fed
leral district government, found a score
Of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither the
governor Of the federal district Gem
eral Alfredo RfecedR, nor the district
court, after guarded Investigations,
could determine who owned tine
treasure, so 1t was turned over in
trust to the national treasury
The theory is that, during the first
revolution troubles which resulted in
the downfall Of Rortfirio DiaE, the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to q
private residence pf The Ereels here
and that, when the zapatistas flRst
entered Mexico City. they were plac-

The Creei representative stated
that = large sum OF metallic currency
and a valuable collection Of jeyels
also were being sought, but OF these

EXCHANGE OF COURTESIES.

The Eagle is not now nor has it ever,
under the present management, been
too grouchy, close OF stingy to extend
the usual courtesies to shows, theatles,
churches, etc. But to extend the usual
courtesles does not mean to surrenuer
the display advertising space o1 the
paper to shows or theatres, OF amy
snlng else. 1t means courteous nlen-
ton, OF ecognltlon-eXcnange one Tor
the other, but not to the detrlment OF
either party concerned. In otner words,
{. manager of theatre may recognize
a newspaper man and his family, ana
pass them in at his shows, without
oetrimept to his business. But the
manager could not recognize passes Is
sued by the newspaper to outsiders,
because it would be to the detllment
OF the manager-lt would be knocking
I'm out OF money he might otherwise
get.
The newspapers may make personal
mention of the manager, his shows,
and visiting troupes in recognition OF
coultesies, and even run illustrations
when display advertising to justify
same is given the paper, but the paper
cannot sacrifice it's display space with
out suffering financial loss.
The Eagle is generous when it comes
to extending courtesies and it never
fol gets favors, when occasions arise
for justifiable defense, attacks, by
either public sentiment, unjustiflable
personal attacks, or otherwise. But
courtesies do not and will not sway
the paper from the right; it will al
ways be ope nto speak out in condemn
ing the wrong.
