The Border Trouble ROM all appearances, Mexico is not going to have any more trouble on elec tion day, next Sunday, than -we have in the United States on any general election day, hut just the same preparations are being made for it if it comes. Diaz is never caught napping. A Mexican border official probably sized up the present trouble just about right when he said that it all comes from a lot of discontents on the border, who woruld like to start some excitement to get a chance to pillage and rob. There are probably a few political fanatics among the discon tents who are really serious in their loyalty to Madero and opposition to Diaz for president, who would not hesitate to'use arms to vent their feelings, but these are few and can well be taken care of. The Mexican government discovered the plans of these trouble makers in ample time to take everyj precaution and if there is any disturbance of any character, it will be of short duration. There is hardly any likelihood of trouble, however. Mexican officials and troops have arrested a number of political leaders in. sev eral points in the republic; have in several instances seized rifles and ammunition which had been smuggled into the country; have broken up a number of "opposi- N tion" meetings; have forced many of the unusually active "opposition" leaders out of the country; have jailed Madero, the opposition candidate for president; have been actively moving soldiers from point to point, and have carefully dis tribute rurales all along the Sonora-Arizona line; also that Naco, Sonora, officials got frightened ana sought refuge and protection under Arizona officials until Mexi can troops could reach them. All these things have happened; that they should be chronicled in the news papers, nobody of serious mind will contend to the contrary. A newspaper's first runction is to print the truth; when it chronicles movements such as are enumer ated above, it is doing its duty" to its readers, and a paper which refuses to do so is not fulfilling its duty to the people who depend, even in a small way,, on it for information. The Douglas International is not in the wrong when it declares its right and duty to print such news as develops, especially when the news is known to many in the community anyhow. The Mexican officials themselves have made all the news that the border papers have printed so far; when they sought protection in Arizona, under Arizona guards, from fancied assassins and robbers, they created a situation that forced the newspapers to give the news; when they sent troops and rurales to guard duty there and when they increased the military at Cananea after manyf arrests had been made and ammunition had been captured, they once more created the news. It is the duty of a newspaper to give this news. The Herald has faithfully chronicled all these events, many of them at con siderable expense and trouble, and has covered the situation more fully than any other paper. Editorially The Herald has expressed its belief daily that there was no cause for alarm. It expresses this belief again; Americans in Sonora express the same belief, but the Mexican officials are evidently not so confident. They are making too much news by their activities. o ; It seems that the Chicago judge only turned loose his legal grip on the beef trust to take a better hold; he dismissed the faulty indictments and called a new graund jury to draw others that will stick.

Parliament in London was sent and an American Depravity In Cuba BULL fighting and cock fighting have nothing to do with sport, except that they result in prohibition of sport. So, the future of Cuba in that regard appears very unfortunate in view of a recent development. A bill granting a 30 year concession for bull fighting, cock fighting, horse racing and general gambling was granted "Wednesday by the Cuban house of representa tives. And the worst of it is that the reservation, located at Buena Vista, a suburb of Havana, will be operated by an American company. Think of it! Americans 'promoting such "amusements" for the depravity of already unfortunate people. It is true that if bull fighting were an Anglo-Saxon sport, instead of a Latin one, we might have the institution today in America. For, after aD, man is not so different. It is the institution which is to blame, not always the man. For many years bull fighting has been prohibited in the Argentine republic. Originallyi it was quite as firmly rooted there as in Mexico. But the Argentine of today is interested in all varieties of sport, baseball, cricket and golf. He has for gotten the bull fight of his ancestors, the Spanish, and considers the bull fight the most depraving of things. Why? Because he is an athlete, and believes in English fair play. If Vie protectorate of Cuba hy the United States has brought no better things than bull fighting, cock fighting and a national lottery it is time to protectorate a little all over again. It is alleged that the lottery concession was granted under American military rule. No matter, whether or not, it was granted! It is not the Cuban's fault that he has bull fights any more than it is the Mexican's. Bull fights are not like baseball leagues.

The correspondents after a long pe riod of inaction have dug un another Mexican revolution. As usual, arms and WHY NOT EL PASO? From the Sonora (Cananea) News. Both Bisbee and Douglas have run excursions to Cananea recently on ac count of baseball games. El Paso is next, and we would like to see that city send down a nice little crowd the next time the Texas boys come here for a series of games. The El Paso chamber of commerce is advocating the running of trade excur sions into their city, but do not think that it Js necessary to run excursions out of El Paso. What they are after is business. The El Paso Herald advo cates the running of excursions as is the custom between Bisbee, Douglas and Cananea, and thinks that it would be advisable for the Pass City bovs to come out to the biggest copper camp on earth. They are right. Anv ex cursion run out of El Paso would ad vertise the town and would be an in ducement for the rest of the cities to reciprocate by sending excursionists to the Pass city. El Paso cannot expect to have everybody flocking to that city without at least sending some of their fans to the Arizona cities and Cananea when their ball team cones west. Get busy. El Paso, and sent, a lively bunch to Cananea next time y.ur team comes' here, which is June 25 and 26, according to the schedule. the Great Eastern" set out for mid ocean to recover the cable of the pre vious yeaj. After eighteen days of heroic effort the broken end was re covered, a new cable spliced to it, and on September 8 the second cable was completed The speed with which words could be transmitted across the cables was at first from three to eight a minute. This was finally increased to fifteen. Since that time there have been great strides in this direction. In 1S74 the duplex system was applied In creasing the speed 50 per cent. Now it is not an extraordinary feat to send 200 words a minute. Cables Proposed In lTOo. To Salva, a Spaniard, belongs the I answer received in thirteen and one-half seconds. Manufactured In England. Cables are manufactured prlncipally in England where factories are able to turn out from 20 to 30 miles a day. The cores of the newest cables are cqmposed Of 13 copper wires, with 12 slighter ones wound round them forming a core one quarter of an inch in diameter. This is surrounded with a skin of gutta percha and other nonconducting material in creasing the diameter to three-quarters of an inch. After a casing of hemp and canvas tape there Is an armour shield of steel wires with every Interstice filled with an asphaltlc composition. The cables are stored until needed in groat tanks filled with sea water in lengths of from two to 200 miles. The shore ends of cables are often as large as a man's leg. Many Ships U5ed In Work. More than 50 ships are devoted ex clusively to the work of laying and re pairing cables. The repairs are fre quently very expensive undertakings. The point of trouble can be located by a peculiarly delicate dynamometer which is operated on the principle of measuring the resistance offered per lineal mile of cable. Often the calcu lations are so accurate that a ship will anchor within a thousand feet of the point where the trouble lies. But oc casionally great difficulty is encoun tered. In 1900, 'for example, $300,000 was expended in a fruitless effort to re pair one of the Atlantic cables. The life of the average cable Is from 20 to 30 years. Tomorrow Ice and Refrigeration.
