Like a dog with his pet bone, The two letters following explain: the attitude of the leaders of the fed erals and constitutionalists in Mexico tow&rd Ajn^rtcan intervention, or rather toward American demands for honorable treatment: Gen. Maas Asks Aiti of Rebels.. ^jf'To General Francisco Villa: l?% "I have received Instructions to no tify the revolutionary chiefs that Am erican intervention in Mexico is ah accomplished fact The United States of the North cor&mitted a grave of fense against Mexico by disembarking troops in Vera Cruz April 21 and by taking similar action at Salina Cruz two days later. This act aldne con stitutes the initiation of war and this is the supreme moment to call on the patriotism of all Mexicans to present a united front and forget our differ ences in the intense love of the coun try of which we are posBesed. We can consider the enemy only as a for eigner who in the most unjust and ig noble manner has stepped upon the holy soil of our fatherland. "It is well known that the North Americans, following the hypocritical and undignified conduct which they have used in all cases of intervention, have declared they will not fight against the revolutionists, but only against the government, but it is clear that this conduct is for no other pur pose than to keep us divided and make easier their conquests. As Mexican patriots we should not per mit foreign hations to mix in our in ternal affairs. "We, therefore, call upon our broth ers to rally to the common cause for the defense of the national integrity. You could not more nobly yield yoiir present position than for the purpose of rallying to the cause of the whole of Mexico that we may all march to gether against the invading Yankees. I have such faith in your patriotism that I do not dcjubt that the forces of your command will rally to fight the invasion of the Americans. I re iterate to you assurances of my dis tlnguished consideration, SWiSf "J. Maas, "GeneraWn-Chief of the Division of the Bravo, SaltilloV Villa Declines to Join Forces. Villa sent the following reply: "In answer to your letter of April 28 in which, in accordance with your instructions, you invite me to march with you against the foreign invasion of our country, I would say that I understand your actions fully and also the present diabolical machinations. I know that as an accomplice you took part in the infidelity and treason of February 1913 (Madero's death.) This is perfectly well understood and you should know that we cannot pardon it and also know that it will be the cause of your ruin. "I therefore give you this answer only because your official request and my answer are historical documents and I owe to posterity an explanation of my conduct. "I know the cientificos, by various processes, have up to this time sought to bring about North American inter vention in Mexico. It is known with out doubt that the coming of the Am ericans was desired and provoked by you. The manner in which you have excited internal troubles, and then called on all Mexicans to help fight the external troubled, is clear to all the world. "General Huerta and you did not show much wisdom when, you were converted into instruments of thie cien tlflcos and brought about the assassin ation of President Madera, Vice Pres ident Pino Suarez and some other lib eral democrats because you did not realize that the blood of the heroes who started the democratic movement in 1910 would cause a civil war which would lead to your ruin. "Now you desire- to' provoke a for eign war to save yourselves from the disaster coming from the civil con flict. You show even less wisdom when you pile up mountains of mach inations and lies which will crumble about your ears. "You have sought to make this union between yourselves and the con Stituttonalists who are under arms and With the pretext of a foreign war you seek to arm many Mexicans whose sympathies are not with you, but whose patriotism you. expect to ex ploit, without reflecting that you are about to arm a people who In justice would chastise your crimes. These same people, when they discover you are an assassin of democracy, /you seek to win over by starting a war against a foreign nation to serve your personalr/nterests and those of your party.

The total quantity of faanufactur ed fuel In the form of briquets, egg ettes, coalettes, \boulets, ahd like pro ducts, according to E.

The slackened demand tot briqueted fuel Is believed to be due' to the ex treme mildness of the winter of 1912 13 and of November and: December, 1913. The briquets whlct^ appear to meet with favor in the ealtera states are of the boulet type, pillow or egg shaped, and about the Bize of anthra cite nut. They are practically smoke less and make an ideal £pel for the open grate or kitchen range, holding their shape until entirely consumed and then falling, when stirred, into a pulverulent, cllnkerless ash.

This critic calls Mr. Bryan "our most gift ed orator," and states, with perfect truth, that "his personal honor is un tarnished by the breath of scandal." It is certainly untarnished so far as the Wall Street Journal is concerned. But personal honesty is no guaran tee of efliclency. Mr. Bryan lacks ac curate knowledge, administrative ca pacity, and experience in the conduct of foreign relations—all Indispensable in the high office he holds. So far as his oratory is concerned, he cannot discharge the duties Of secretary of state with his mouth. If honesty were all, his possible successors "nrould be numbered In millions.

There were introduced into the last session of our legislature 902 bills, but In the contemporaneous session, Min nesota considered 2,226 Iowa, 1,264 Nebraska, 1,346 Kansas, 1773 Wis consin, 1,759 Illinois, 1,608., and ao throughout the union.^V jjJII In South Dakota in tie f&fe't session the legislature worked upon 45 days, so that eight bills per day upon the average, was passed through both houses, while twice as many more wesre considered and rejedsted. it, goes without saying that such amass of business could, not be given ade quate consideration and if that be true in South Dakpta what of Kansas or Nebraska which undertake almost twice as much in the same .time. It is a serious evil, resulting in con tempt for law and undermining pop ular government. i/.\ In the laconic interrogatory'ot "Old Man Chandler," what's the remedy? Governor Hoch would abolish the leg islature and he is not without a fol lowing. Many believe that his pro posal strikes at popular government destroys that local representation which is fundatmental In American institutions and is not to be seriously considered. Must not the remedy be in educat ing publio sentiment through school and press and forum, to understand that to propose an unnecessary law is a public offense to enact such a law 1b a crime against society, and that the legislator who best serves his con stituency is he who proposes the few. est bills and who kills' the most of them. Public sentiment alone can remedy the evil.
