THE people should have a care not
to become excited over sensa
tional stories concerning af
fairs In Mexico. Sensational stories
will be printed. They will be sent by I
hair-trigger correspondents from all J
sections of the world. They will be I
specially prolific in those Sunday j
newspapers that uce the Hearst ser-1
vice, because Hearst has declared war
on the President, and any thing that
his newspapers can do to injure Wil
son and Bryan will be done.
However, the fact Is the President |
and his Cabinet have the situationj
well in hand. They have the unquali-1
fled backing of both the Senate and the \
House of Representatives, in spite of I
the few there who make speeches to|
create copy for the papers that are,
fighting the administration, and in
spite of those who naturally are car
ried along by the war spirit that al
ways springs into view upon the slight-;
est pretext in this and all other coun
tries. They possess the good will and
the confident admiration of the Na
tions of the world. And. above all.
behind them stand squarely and firm
ly a tremendous majority of the one
hundred million Americans who con
stitute the Republic of the United
States. These have an abiding faith
in the patriotism, good faith and in
tegrity of purpose of their President
and his advisers and their capacity to j
meet any situation that might arise. |
People can well afford, therefore, to j
take it for granted that the Interests!
of the United States are going to be j
cared for in a big and broad way such I
as will redound to the credit and glory 1,
of their country. They can well af-:
ford doubly to discount both hair-trig
ger stories and mendacious attacks. ,
I
With war in Colorado and active
preparations for war continuing in Ul- 1
ster the boasted Anglo-Saxon civili- 1
zation has not so much on the Latins
as some would like it to have.

"JUDGE BURKE'S BLUNT LOGIC."
IF ANYTHING further were required
to show that the opponents of the
free tolls repeal bill are working
to create opposition to the administra
tion rather than to secure free tolls
it was provided by Judge Thomas 1
Burke's speech before the Senate in
teroceanic canal committee, and the '
Seattle Times' approval of his "blunt '
logic."
Here ,"s what the Seattle Times calls f
"Judge Burke's Blunt Logic:' '
"Shall we keep faith with the peo- !
pie of the United States, the bearers
of the burden required to construct j
and safeguard the canal? Shall we s
keep the pledge to them that, by means .
of this great waterway, they should
have genuine competition in the trans- g
portation of the products of their toil f
and industry on farm and in factory
from ocean to ocean?
"To lure a people on to assume a ,
burden of $400,000,000 on the promise v
that it would bring relief to them in (1
marketing the products of their skill t;
and labor and then, after the work j,
was completed and their sacrifices had j
been made, to put it out of their pow
er to reap the advantages promised t]
would be the most shameful and stu-l.f,
pemlous confidence game ever played ({
upon the people of this or any other
country." f(
Certainly, one possessing Judge
Burke's attainments would never ex- n
pect informed Senators to take him b
seriously.
It required three questions by Sen
ator Simmons and answers by Henry fi
White, who opened the negotiations n
for the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and was a
connected with the American foreign |
office all through the Panama canal ne
gotiations, and who qualified as be- t<
ing fully acquainted with the whole a

subject, to cause the record to make
Judge Burke appear foolish:
"When were the negotiations for tho
Hay-Pauncefote treaty begun?"
"In 1S9S."
"When was the canal work start
ed r
"In 1904."
"When was the free tolls question
first seriously considered?"
"During the Congressional Session
that began in December, 1911."
So far as the promise that cheaper
freight rates would result from the can
al is concerned, the record shows that
$130,000,000 worth of freight was
shipped by water to the Atlantic side
of the isthmus last year, transferred
to the Pacific by rail and rcshipped in
oc^an vessels, because it could be
handled in that manner at less cost
than It could be handled by the rail
roads. Surely it will not be urged In
seriousness that transportation cost
will not be further reduced?notwith
standing a few cents a ton toll?when
one freight charge shall supercede
three and two handlings of cargo be ob
viated by the passage of vessels
through the canal.
Judge Burke's speech was evident
ly delivered for publication in the Se
attle Times and for its editorial treat
ment for the benefit of Will Humph
rey's constituents.
When employers begin hiring a pri
vate army and strikers begin buying
rifles it is a sure sign that the State is
not doing its full duty.
LONDON" PAPERS SUPPORT WIL
SON.
THE newspapers of London are
practically unanimous in their
support of President Wilson and
the United States in the present Mex
ican embroilment.
The London Standard says the Pres
ident's action "provides hope of even
tual peace and resumption of trade."
Further, "the Standard learns the ac
tion of the United States has the full
acquiescence of the British govern
ment and that any international com
plications are extremely unlikely."
The Times says: "The crisis has
come in a form which, as sincere
friends of the American people, we
could well have wished different. Their
justification for forcible interference
In Mexican affairs is far stronger than
the particular pretext upon which the
President decided to abandon his pol
cy of watchful waiting. It is ques
:ionable, however, how far the aspir
itions the President voices in his mes
sage can be realized."
The Daily Mail says: "There can be
10 mistaking the British attitude. It
s only one of admiration for the toler
mce and self-control with which Presi
lent Wilson has employed all the re
iources of diplomacy to avert the cris
s of intervention, and they may be sure
if the good will of the whole English
peaking world in facing an unsought
or task."
The Daily News says: "It Is only
air to President Wilson to recognize
hat he restored to direct action only
rhen the maladroit impudence of the *
ictator left him no alternative. But
he fact that it has unwillingly been
laced in his hands does not lessen the
anger of the new question."
The Daily Telegraph contends that
he logical consequence of a success
ul war against Mexico, the assump
ion of the burden of government by
he United States, would benefit all
jreign interests in Mexico.
The Daily Graphic says: "The war is
ot an accident but a thing predistined
y irresistible causes."
Secretary of the interior Lane re
uses to permit the Mexican excite
lent to cause him to forget Alaska;
nd he won't let the others forget it.
At least, Juneau will know what It is
) be ruled by rovaly. We are to have .
Queen and court for one night.
