( Special.! To what extent Ameri

ihe conduct of the government es

The uew regime will have received
a fair test of its capacity before the

an election of a president of Mexico
in July in which General Obregon
and General Gonzales are the lead

After a . seven-year trial of a

with impunity at our threshold,
there is urgent need, according to
the republican view, of building a
national reputation for protecting
Americans wherever they may be.
English Are Protected.
To be an Englishman is to be pro

able care. and. prudence to keep the1
stairways therein, which the public
is tacitly-invited to use, safe for that

any presumption of negligence on

The defendant claims that the young
