Kexicaa View of Intervention.
Receipt of the full text of the mes
sage read by President Madero to the
Mexican congress at the opening of
tta session the first ef this month
gives us the Mexican view of Amer
ican intervention, the' necessity 'for
which, it ia needless to say, la vigor
ously scouted. This is what Presi
dent Madero says upon this subject:
' The . armed agitation that exists In
some parts of the republic has given
rlee to rumors as to the possibility of
Intervention In Mexico by the felted
Stales. Those rumors, fomented In the
United Etates by certain unscrupulous
Journals, have not sufficed to occasion
differences between tha two govern
ments, nor has the Washington govern
ment allowed itself to bo Influenced by
the Ignoble propaganda. The great and
respectable American dallies, the most
prominent American statesmen, the
shiest American thinkers, as well as all
Americans having legitimate Interests
Mexico, know well that the word 'Inter
ventton" la only an euphemism for war,
sselng that the Mexican people, what
ever political defecta may characterise
or be attributed to them, prise the Inde
pendence and honor of their country
more than life itself The government
of tha United States has been the first.
by Its own acts, to discourage the In'
sensate Idee, of Intervention and hat
Siren repeated proofs to ths government
of Mexico of Its high spirit of justice
and Its sinosra respect for the rights ef
this country as a sovereign nation.
potent proof of this spirit is to be found
In the recent action of the American con
gress, la empowering the president

source of supply of arms and anununl'
tlon to Individuals who rise In rebellion
sgalnat the governments of the other
nations of this continent, and the eon'
sequent proclamation of ths president of
the United States, prohibiting armed
rebels In Mexico being supplied with war
material In tha neighboring republic.
The preeldent of the American union hat
been actuated In this Instance, as stated
in an official note addressed to our for
eign relations department, by his earn cat
deal re that tha Mexican nation may at an
sarly date enloy once more the bleaalngt
of peace and prosperity.
It Is to be noted that President
Madero ascribe the demand for In
terveatlop to "certain unscrupulous
Journals." and rightly Infers that the
president, and Indeed all thoughtful
Americans, regard Intervention as
only a last resort. At tha same time,
our friend across the Mexican border
should realise the urgency of pre
serving order and maintaining the
authority of their own government.
W In this country are no more eager
for Intervention than Is the Mexican
president, and still w would not
shirk our duty to Intervene If It be

way to restore "the blessings of

These dollar and two-dollar popu

Contest Over tba Owen BUL
A strong opposition la to be hurled
against Senator Owen's bill for a na
tional bureau of health when It comes
up for general debate In the senate
next week. Senator Works of Cal
Ifornla, as commander-in-chief of ths
opposing army, will, It I announced,
be ready to lead them Into a deter
mined assault upon the common en
amy. . ,.'.'-
The opposition claims that the bill
seeks to set up a new department of
the government upon the prescription
of one school or system of healing to
the exclusion of all other; that it
contemplates a monopoly In the dl
rectlon of public health for tbs so-
called "regular" school of medicine.
It would not be surprising to find
these preliminary charge supported
by the formal complaint of a combine
In restraint of trade, though no doubt
such a position would be approached
with a degree of delicacy.
It will bot do to assume, as wss
the original claim, that Christian 8ci
enlist are alone In their. opposition
to thl btlL Osteopaths aad eclectics
are also opposing It. At least Sen
ator Works has bad read Into ths
Congressional Record strong resolu
tions from the faculty and students
of both the Pacific College of Oste
opathy and the California Eclectic
Medical college protesting against the
measure. The opposition, it would
seem, . therefore, has conducted its
campaign with more than ordinary
skill. On the other side It Is strenu
ously denied that this bill does con
template exclusive powers and rights
for any one particular system of
healing, and that It is aa It purports
to. be, solely tor the benefit of the
public health.

Clark's Popular Subscription Foul
When it comes to the real skill and
science of politics. Champ Clark and
his booster bare It on the Wilson
and even oa the Hanroa crowd just
little. That is reflected in a guu-
si way In the Clark victories In
Nebraska and Illinois, but It Is evl-
ut In more detsll of the 'campaign
.nanagement also. For inctance.
Governor Harmon and Governor Wil
son leave the people In the dark as
the source of their financial bsck-
, while Champ. Clark and his
friends come booming out into the
open with a popular subscription
fend, showing to those who bare to
be shown that here is Indeed aa hon
est man, who Is making his race
only because ths people desire It sad
only because the people ire putting
up for It la email contributions.

Hopeful Signs.
Railroad gross earnings expanded
in the first week of April S.7 per
cent The country's foreign export
trade waa the largest for March In
the history of that month and ex
ceeded that for March, 1911, by more
than $43,000,000. The demand for
Investment securities continues to
Improve and was so strong a week or
two ago as to encourage the elty of
New York to offer for sale $65,000,'
000 in new bonds.
These) are a few of the hopeful
signs for the year, but only a few.
There are plenty of otbera In the
Industrial and agricultural worlds.
The business sky tends rapidly to
clear and the outlook for a year of
Improvement Is regarded by the most
conservative Judges aa very fair. In
deed. In addition to these indica
tions of prosperity, the country
confronted with excellent crop con
ditions In mose sections. To be sure,
some of the wheat states are showing
up with less than normal prospects,
but there hi a chance for Improve
ment even in places here and, on the
other band, the wheat conditions In
most of the leading states are very
good.
The demand for labor for construc
tion work 1 exiiected to be "trong.
The railroads running west from Chi'
cago are said to be contemplating
the employment of 100,000 men
which Is an answer to some of the
exaggerated cries of all laborers and
no harvest.
This Is a big country, with big
blessings and big adversities. The
fearful floods of the south have
scarcely abated until Ihey are for
gotten, and In the Immediate wake
come tbe tornadoes with death and
destruction, and they will pas on to
be forgotten In their turn. '

Why have not the friends of Taft put

th Idea advanced by Roosevelt and his
crasy followers? If people can be taught
by Roosevelt and his populist follower!
that they know more than Judges and
lawyers who have devoted their lives
to th study of law In all of its Intri
cacies, why not teach them that they
can do their own doctoring, set their own
broken limb better than doctors who
nave made It a life study can do; that
they can cur themselves of typhoid

Why not teach people that they know

conflict in g reports which shroud the last
moments of the dying Titanic In a somber
pall wh,ch In all likelihood will never be
lifted, there stands forth ons inspiring
isct upon which all those who witnessed
the curtain fall over the scene of death
seem to be In agreement, and this is that
th heroic band of the doomed ship met
their fate bravely, with music upon their
lips. There Is sublimity about these men
grouped around! their leader la th shat
tered salon of th sinking liner, with all
hop for themselves abandoned, playing
for th encouragement of pasengere and
crew the gay tunes to which so lately
women In silks and diamonds had been
dancing, and at the end .swinging Into
the strsins of that comforting hymn
which knows In Its universal appeal no

LESSON OF THE DISASTER.
Detroit Free Press.
Ton may brag that you've conquered th
wind and the wave, :'
Tou may laugh at the rolling sea,
Tou may boapt of your men who are
strong snd brave.
Tou may sing of their gallantry.
Tou may point to ths wonders that man
has wrought
And prate of your human skill.
But the biggest thing of man's hand and
thought . v
Is only an atom still. 1
Tou may boast of the structures- of
steel you build,
Tou may elng of your mighty ships:
Tou may praise the work of man's labor
skilled
With conceit on your amlllng Hps
Tou may point to tha marvels that man
has done
And ths strength of his mighty will.
But the man-mad splendors you look
upon
Are fleeting and fragile still.
For ths things that are built to last are
God s,
Th sun and th sky and rain. - - -
Th mountain rang where the toller
piods.
The wind and the raainc main.
But man must die and his works must
lace,
Let htm build them how ha will. .
For the mightiest thing that man hag
maoe
Is far from eternal still. '
