Already reports have come of the forming of mobs In Mexico City, with anti-American demonstrations; Knowing that siich mobs are responsible, and almost; uncontrollable, they nro naturally regarded as an ominous develop ment In which gravo danger lurks; in fact, in former times of disturbance, even since tho presont revolution of Mexico began, similar mobs have wreaked vengeance and wrought all sorts of destruction, not only on foreigners, but on Mexicans who have lncurrod their dls- pleasuse. , Because the vast majority of tho Mexican peoplo arts Ignorant and illiterate, the Impres- lon is common that these mobs are composed of the lowest class of Mexicans, as mobs In this country are usually made up chiefly of tho dregs of society. Accounts of the Mexican mobs, however, refer to them as students and clorks, which means that the rioters, or at least many of thorn, belong to the educated and In telligent classes. It means that they are tho oung men studying law and medicine In tho schools and universities or engaged in mercan tile and professional pursuits. More than that, it moans that thoy are representative of tho Mexican peoplo In that thoy coine from the bet ter class families in all parts of Mexico. Tho mobs in Mexico are a manifestation of tho Latin blood InfUeod into Mexico by the Spaniards, and they reflect, tho unstable character of the very element in Mexico that ought to be the strongth and njnew of the nation. As we go along we will probably hoar further of anti-American mobs, not only in Mex ico City, but also in the various provincial cap itals, and it will bo well to remember tho osson ttal differences between Mexican mobs and the mobs wo are accustomed to, Nebraska's wheat gooa right on growing re gardless of war distractions.

Colorado manages to maintain its place be fore the public despite the overshadowing im portance of the Mexican situation, but Colorado Is payihg a large)- price than.lt can afford for tho publicity. It Is no longer possible to. con ceal tho fact that tho state has suffered tremen dous loss and Injury from the prolonged reign of .anarchy In Its mining qamps, Its loss In physical property has been enormous, its loss in Wan life appalling, but beside thesoita.loss. of prost!geandTeputatlon before tho world wlllv for ,a tlmo. we fear, prove Jrreparabje, For Colorado's miners and mine owners have boon tugging at each other's throats for a decade and more, with sldo battlos with statu troops. While the movement of mutual rela tions between employe and employer has been, galnlug ground In many states, in Colorado It has been reduced almost to an unknown quan tity,, at least so far as tho mining Interests are concerned." Some politicians of the cheaper a rlfity jmve taken advantage of conditions for their own temporary benefit. Agitators, con scienceless promoters and brow-beating bullion have preyed on it, while, manifestly, tho state has been unable to cope with conditions. It has done, Nothing ao.yot of a conspicuous character io rqaiue oraor ana eucci a reconciliation. ko matter wnero mo niame lor this fauura may rest, tho failure stands forth to the dis credit of Colorado, and Colorado Is feeling the eevoro effects of It In a way It cannot afford. Surely the time has come, when private individ uals, can go out and setie soldiers sent, to quell, mob law, for more vigorous measures than havo yet been omployod, unless a state of anarchy is to continue indefinitely, Our Priend, Brasil The seloction of Brazil to safeguard our in terestg in Mexico pending the disturbance will, we beliove, be approved even In Europe as de cidedly diplomatic. Brazil, In the first place, enjoys wholesome, relations with all the powers; In tho second, place, has been in agreement with the United States in refusing formal recognition to.Huerta; and, in the th'rd place, stands aa the most, formidable Latln-Amerloan republic. The selection should also tend to strengthen the ties between the members of the Pan-American union, many of which have their own grievances against revolution-wrought Mexico, All things considered, it seems that wo could not have made a more fortunate soloctlou. While this Is the first time the United States has ever asked such an office of a South Amer lean government, the circumstances seem fully to warrant the precedent Europe several ot whose principal powora recognlzod the Huorta regime when we declined to do so-and have felt free to criticize our course from the first though not to the:extont of outward unfriendli ness can have no ground for complaint In tho choice wo have made, if Germany, which per baps, more than any other nation is striving tor a iiriuor commercial rooting in Brasll, per celvts in our action a tactful move toward close business relations, it will still be restrained by other logical considerations from expressing ad verse criticism, we aro sure. As the largest S,outh American country la area and population, as well as the most pro gressive, Brazil Is naturally inviting to the cul tlvation ot the most cordial relationship and while our selection In this case is not primarily due to such consideration, we may hope for the probable, effects of a closer friendship. v Did you over-know it to 'fall?

A much larger volume of water than Is now consumed could very profit ably be used on our streets, especially thoes of the busy downtown districts. If present arrangements do not call for adequate sprinkling, then they should be changed to that they will. In any event It Is high time more attention were given to the dust problem, which Is a serious one where traffic Is dense and building rapid. As a matter of pride, to say noth ing of comfort, we should Insist on Im provement In this respeci, WJih most people, mud Is preferabje to dust, yet there Is no necessity Tor, putting up" with mud In well-paved streets, nor why w should have to enduro the dust. Water Is plentiful, even though It may come a little high under certain munfcipal re gulallons. It Is the only solvent for tho dust problem and we are too much of 'a. metropolis to put up longer with In- adequacy, " W J. Lamentation. NORTH rtuVTTn. Neb.. April 22.-To tho IJdltor of The Beet In our Bee of April 20 under tho head Affairs at South Omaha I read the communication of Rev. Oeorga Ionltls, Catholic pastor of tho wthuanlan church, to Eire and Police board of South Omaha. ' It shows up tha conditions In their true light I presume. The Idea of twenty saloons. In about 150 acres, and In It Is a cemetery of about fifty acres. It says the licenses for these saloons amount to 1M.C00 a year, then asks the 'question who pays them the packing house employes, who cannot turn around without humping Into a sa loon, which Is permitted to be open Sun days and all hours of the day and night, and It Is signed by about 250 residents In that section of South Omaha, Now, Mr. Editor, If you have not read that petition, read it, and see the deplor able condition they are In, and you will Join me In saying, behold their lament able condition. It Is awful. Yet they want to keep five saloons In their dis trict and have the other fifteen abolished. Do those people not know their peoplo will get as much liquor from the five that are left? Now who Is responsible for their la mentable condition? Am I or the citi xens of South Omaha? It would not take much of a Judge to decide that point, would It? They say they are not pro hibitionists. They want enuugh saloons to run to make W per cent of their crimi nals. Ye, thsj' say the saloons are open on Sunday. Now If they have a law that prohibits saloons from bclnB open on Sunday, and thoy aro, open on Sunday, it Is a crime. And If they do not prose cute them for doing so they aro as much criminals ns those that violate their Sun day law, If not so, why not so? Mr. Editor. I do not Know, ir you aro a believer In the Christ, and what Ho said and done, or not. As for mo I do not be lieve a man can have the mind of Christ In him and help to promote the liquor business that Is responsible for W per cent of the crimes that are committed. CYRUS STEBB1NB. Spring Lake FrU. BOtlTH OMAHA. April 13. -To the Editor of The Beet Three -years ago a wtt in An rdntleman.from central tlllhols visited me and. whlla at tay place he Wandered aown tnrougn wnm Pork and was delighted wfth"it to a high' degree and said It was tho finest natural park he had seen for many years. ntri hln idea was that the park ought to be left practically as It was with the exception that cement walks ought to bo mads through at least a part ot It. Ths same gentleman visited mo again a few days ago and nearly tho first thing he said to me was, "What a py yp"r i harllv cu uo for that roadway involving the destruction of so many fine trees," He saw ne wougm tho beauty of the park had been alnlost the htilldlnir of the road way and swlmmlntf pool. My old fogy Idea of a park of natural timoer is, t place where one can go and get away from tho noise and turmoil of the city life. Until that roadway was made th.if. th,. rutrU with the avowed , In tention, so I have been informed, of still further cutting out of nne trees tor mora roadways It was an ldsal place for one to go to be free from the noise and dust of tha city. The new roadway will bring us the .iii.i. anil will add the noise and smells of automobiles as well as the dingers from them. My own old gy.wea w tni . v.rv iirlnui mlitake was made In cut ting that roadway through the park not alone In the destruction oi many tower ing trees but In ths danger that has been added by making a roadway through for the travel of automobiles. When the weather la warm scores of -nail children m.nv limes hundred! of them awnrm to that park and somo day some Idiot will come tearing tnrougn mere wn m ...n.nv.n. nnit kill or injure some chil dren and then the city ought to be held liable for the death or injury of any per son In that park for that roadway ought never to have been permitted for It waa unnecessary. Trees have been cut out of that park that cannot As replaced in i.. u.. r h vnureit child In South Omaha, The great grandchildren of the youngest child of South Omaha will never sea as large trees mere nsam as nave been out down In the last few years, What a pity that some cf the torn old oaks were cut down. Why would It not v,n hotter to IcaVe those big oak tres even It they had been Injured by storms, for thoy would serve as an ob ject lesson to tha future generations of what storms can do to me migiuy mw v. i hona that no more roadway will be out In that park and no more trees cut down, for the quiet and solitude r h n.rk hfli already been practically destroyed by so much cutting of trees and cutting of banks, that should havo been left as they were. U seems to me that It would have been tar oeuer u i money srent had been used In building cement walks, cement stairs and cement seats.- , f. a. au STORIES IN HGUBEB.

The liberal party of Sweden was sharply defeated In the recent election for members of tho Rlgsdak on tha Issues raised between King Gustav and former i-remier Btaaf. The. election was precipitated by the action of tha king in addressing a meeting ot cltlsens who petitioned for Increased military defensive meas ures against possible encroachment of Russia. In his address tho king approved the object of.,th peti tioners and commended their seal in behai'f olt na tional preservation. Ths ministry of Premier Btaaf, challenged tho right of the king to take sides on a question of public policy. Tho king responded by de fending Ills constitutional privilege or-advising his sub jects on matters affecting national welfare. As a result of the- rupture ths ministry . returned and an election became necessary to test public sentiment on the Issue raised by the king,, and his ministers. The returns show that theJIBeral 'party Med, by tho' falling" from first to third -place in -party strength,. while the conservatives, who supported the king, gain? sixteen seat and th'e socialists eleven. The result" must be very gratifying to King Gust&v, who has been tinder the care, fit physicians during the entlr campaign.

Expansion of secular education Is the main Issue put to the fore by the ministry, which hns placarded the country with a recent speech of the minister ot education lauding the exclusion of religious teaching and relig ious teachers from the schools. There Is also in volved the question, of banishing from France th' remaining religious orders, some B,WX) congregations, which were not Involved directly In tho law of 1901, and the confiscation of their property. It Is gen erally expected that the nrurder of Editor Calllaux will have some bearing on the returns. The latter represented the strongest element ifupportlng the three-year . military system, which If a factor In tha campaign. The present chamber h&s nine separate party divisions In a total of 691 members, ranking in numerical- strength In this order: Radical social ists, ltSi radicals (left), 113: progressive republicans, se'vonty-slx; socialists, seventy-four; democrats (left), seventy-throe! republican socialists, thirty-two : lib erals, thirty-two; Independents, twenty-flve', right, nineteen. Capltallalng; TVnr Scares, More than any other nation In Europe Germany works a war scare as an effective asset In swelling army and navy appropriations. Tho Krirpps used It as a means of boosting gun foundry buslneas. It was the unseen force which -enabled the kaiser to levy on the rich for J6O,O00,O0O for extraordinary mjlltary expenses, and a repetition is being utilised now to swell the appropriation sheet. The latest war scare has to do with Russian military strength along the border, though some observers assert Austria is re sponsible for Russian exaggerations. It Is not ma terial, however, whether the scare Is true or false, It serves the purpose of the militarist. Qormanys Army and Navy leagues take It serlousljr and are working for increased means tQ ingnien me oear awiiy. The emperor applauds the energetla seal of his officers and Is credited with having authorised the Navy leaguo to hold' a lottery which will produco something like $100,000.

OBcnlna Doors of Opportunity, Necessity Is beginning to shake me props which have restricted the selection of Drltleh army and navy officers to tho sons of .the arlstlcracy. Two conditions are breaking down the naval doors hitherto open only to tho well-to-do the steady growth of the r.avy and the decreasing birth rate In the homes of wealth. These hard facts compel tho naVal authorities to look elsewhere for material to man the ships, and Inducements are being held out to the sons'of work Ingmen and of small tradesmen to enter the service. The Ulster explosion brought home to the democ racy of Ore at Britain the slumbering truth of aris tocracy's control of the army. The task of demo cratising the army Is a difficult one, hedged as it Is by social power and wealth. That it must be under taken Is essential If the army is to regain a high place In. public confidence. People and Events d.

Such opportuni ties should never be passed with out notice by a man who has any . desire to own a home or make a profitable investment. The cay has long passed when there was any doubt as to the future increase in value of Omaha Real Estate. Those who had foresight a few years ago have observed with sat isfaction the rapid rise in value of their holdings. Yet, prices for available property are consistently low. This year will, undoubtedly, however, mark a big rise in values and the man who recognizes this and takes ad vantage of it is making the winning bid for big profits on his money. The history of the growth of every large city in this country today is intermingled with the history of the making of many large fortunes, by men who realized what the opportunities of a growing city meant The Bee's Real Estate Columns today are worth looking over.
