Why Not Protest To Illinois As Well
As To Mexico?

The reader picks up his newspaper
and sees that forty American citi.
zens have been captured by bandits
in Mexico and held for ransom. He
is indignant at the outrage and a
mazed that the Mexicans should
have dared to commit it.
But is the angry reader justified in
wondering that American citizens
should be subjected to such treat,
ment in a foreign land?
A week ago more than forty Amer
lean citizens, who were engaged up
on the peaceful business of earning
a living, were captured, herded and
bound together. Twenty of them at
least were put to death ignom;ni-
ously-shot, stabbed, hanged or
drowned.
This happened in one of the great
est States of the Union.
These wholesale murders were
committed in the open. Thousands
of men, women and children either
took part in or witnessed the massa-
ere. 1t was a holiday of horror.
A week has passed and no arrest
has been made. No Indictment has
been brought against the murderers,
whose names must be known to thou
sands. No real step has been taken
by county, State or nation to bring
the guilty to justice.
If Americans are fit subjects fol
murder in the United States why
should not the bandits of Mexico con.
slider them fit subjects to seize and
hold for ransom?
How can Americans expect to be
respected outside their own country
if they permit their self-respect to
be dragged in the bloody mud Of the
Illinois coal feld?-New York Herald

We believe that. it will be so prepar-
ed. The public has a vital interest in
the running of the trains; their prop
err operation means life to a great
many people, it means a chanc OF a
return to normal to all OF US. HaV-
ing such interest and the people hav-
ing a right to have the railroads
operated the public should be pre-
pared to see that the railroads
are allowed to operate their trains
and to do every other act necessary
to their proper operation.
This government has been too
long submissive to the dictates of
the mob. Only a few days ago we
saw something of the results of the
timidity of the government. A few
people brought into a mine to oper-
ate it were set upon by five thousand
strikers who had quit their jobs, but
who assumed to themselves the right
to say that other people could not
work. Those who sought to work as
they had a right to work, on their
own terms, at such places as they
saw fit, and for such wages as ap-
pealed to them, were cowardly muir
dered, burned at the stake, drowned,
their bodies mutilated, and other hor-
rors were committed. That was the
setting up of a reign of anarchy
where law is supposed to be enthron-
ed. And as yet the people of Illinois
have been too cowardly to undertake
the prosecution of the mob. The Ia
Dor unions, who always say they
are against violence, have so far not
produced one of the men who COM
mitted the violence, O. have they
offered a syllable of evidence which
would help to convict. And they will
not. The mob never does,
A long time ago an old man of
this community told US that there
would sooner or later be civil war in
this country between the labor I'M
ions and the constituted authorities.
It has broken out in Illinois, and it
will break out all over this country
unless the people are ready to defend
their rights and to put down anarchy.
The final weapon of the labor unions
is unlawful force-and that means
anarchy.
When the politicians are men
enough to say that any two men who
c%onspire to raise wages by force OF
the strike are as criminal as two
railroads who undertake to conspire
for like purposes, we shall get rid OF
a force which threatens the very
existence of our government and the
liberties and constitutional rights OF
the people of the land. But so long
as these politicians are supinely
cowardly, SO long will the force
threaten. The time to kill a snake is
when it first sticks its head up. We
IAN never enforce our laws by tenn.
PORTING with violence nor by counte-
nancing conspiracy, it matters not by
whom fostered mol how attempted
to be enforced. Let the law arm it.

1t was Mr.. McCormfck's first
statement since he went to the Wes-

he made it plain that he was chiefly
incensed at the repeated stories that

fortunate circumstances of a fellow
man to deprive him of a vital organ.
THAT is utterly untrues" he said
And he pointed out that when the

Local Produce

The Eastern cantaloupe market Is
taking a tremendous drop. The best
brand of standard cantaloupes are
bringing only from IS cents to $1.1o
a crate to the growers. The acreage
is far in excess OF last season and the
Imperial valley growers have been
shipping to the East more than in
previous seasons All the Eastern
markets seem TO be affected the same.
1t Is hoped that the market will re-
cover before the Salt River valley
cantaloupes are on the market.
The potato market in Southern
California continues to drop. The
White Rose brand of potatoes are
bringing only $1.20 per bushel.
There is heavy demand for onions
and while the market remains the
same the future is uncertain.
The local market Is still unable to
supply the demand for tomatoes.
There Is very little demand for
string beans and squash at present.
There is a heavy demand for both
oranges and lemons at present. The
prices on them remain normal.

We're dressed in overalls and wide
brim straw hats at the time of their
disappearance.
Although the parents are hopefully
favoring the theory that the boys
started out on some Juvenile adven-
ture, they also consider the possibility
that misfortune may have overtaken
them. Both boys enjoy the water, the
parents say, and for this reason the
search was directed toward the canals
in the vicinity OF Mesa yesterday in
addition to the highways and byways.
One resident of Mesa reported that
he had heard the boys talking recent
ly of making q trip to California, but
if they entertained such ideas they
kept their plans secret.

works l1non the lower reaches of the

version for municipal and irrigation
supplies for Denver and adjoining
territor," was contained in a telegram
from Mayor Bailey of Denver, pre-
sented to the house irrigation COM
mittee today by Senators Phipps
and Nicholson of Colorado.
The telegram expressed surprise
that congress should give considera-
tion to the Swing bill in advance
IA compact by the commission
appointed by the president and the
governors of the seven Colorado
river states and urged that there
be no further activities by congress
until the future rights of those
states have been assured by inter-

Mayor Bailey requested in the tel

city an opportunity to be heard be-
fore preparing its report on the
Swing bill.

of Arizona, and other members OF
the committee. interrupted to direct
the senator's attention to testimony
given at the hearing of representa-
tives from the Imperial Valley, but
the senator said he adhered to his
declaration.
Pointing out that the Colorado riv-
er commission was considering the
ALLEGATION of the waters of the river
| the senator said in his opinion II
would be strange for the fedora
government to make appropriation
| of the waters for the benefit of one
section which might confer vestec
rights through priority of use against
another section. Members of the

power purposes, should confer M

upon a plan for the entire river basin

Senator Phipps replied that he wa
financially interested in the Nevada

asserted that his opposition to tn

Flames Threaten
Aqua Prieta; One
City Block Razed

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June 20. - The
entire town of Aqua Prieta, across
the line from this city, is threatened
by fire which broke out about mid
night in a Chinese meat market. AT
1:15 an entire block had been razed
and the buildings in the adjoining
block were breaking out in several
places with a bucket brigade fighting
valiantly to save them A change in
the wind saved the $4,000 customs
house.
At 1880 the fire was still burning,
but it was believed the bucket bri-
gade would be able to save buildings
nearby.
While there has been no effor to
determine the cause Of the fire, Aqua
Prieta police expressed the belief
this morning that it was of incendi-
airy origin. as there has been consid-
erable strife among the Chinese of
the city during the past few days
over the revolution in China. the
Celestials being divided into two
factions.
