AFTER SETTING UP ALIBI, TWO GOVERNMENTS PREPARE TO "REST THE CASE"
(BY H. D. S.)
TENSION has slackened somewhat, locally, and
with the exercise of constant care by the author
ities, -who have matters -well in hand, there -will
he little danger of lawless outbreaks. It is realized by
most people that nothing is to be gained by attacking
innocent persons as if in some way the gnilty could
be reached throngh them. The vast majority of the
40,000 persons of Mexican descent in this city are or
derly, law abiding, industrious, and self respecting;
they contemplate no disorderly acts against Americans,
and they are entitled to eqnal guaranties with all other
citizens. Persons -who inaugurate riotous movements
are enemies to El Paso, to Americans remaining in
Mexico, and to their own government.
While peace must be conserved in El Paso and along
the border by all means, discussion of the national and
international situation will go on nevertheless. The
hurt is deep, and while surface manifestations of indig
nant protest may be less violent with the passing of
the days, tie two governments must not delude them
selves into thinking that the "incident is closed." Other
things crowding in have more or less obscured the mem
ory of other outrages in their minute details, but the
general sense of deep injury and black tragedy remains,
and the details of this latest episode are perhaps too
vivid and too near to become obscured even with time.
From careful reading of the dispatches giving the
views of high authorities of both nations, The Herald
reluctantly concludes that both governments expect to
drop the matter where it is, in the hope that no mere
stir will be made about it Neither government seems
to appreciate the broader significance of the tragedy,
or its inevitable effect on the future of international
relations, not only on this continent but in Europe.
Gen. Trevino's official reprt to the Washington
government through the Carranza ambassador is to the
effect that two bandit chiefs who were not with the
band at Santa Ysabel have been killed, and that the
band which perpetrated the outrage has altogether
escaped, "dividing into small groups, some going west,
some going south, seemingly to the mountains; if we
learn of the appearance of new bands in the mountains
our forces will locate them and pursue them."
From the wording of Gen. Trevino's dispatch it is
evident that he does not appreciate the importance of
rounding up and punishing this particular band at all
costs. Possibly the Carranza troops are all too busily
engaged in defending their own larger towns from
capture. At any rate, the end of Carrraza government
efforts to round up and punish the band that slew the
Americans has already been seen; that is the only
inference to be taken from Gen. Trevino's dispatch.
The situation at Washington is no better. It has
been officially announced that nothing more is to be
done except to rely upon the Carranza forces to punish
the assassins. The extent of the Washington govern
ment's activity has been the sending ot a few dispatches;
frcra all appearances, Washington government activities
in this matter are already at an end, although now and
then (upon prompting from seme senator) a mild ques
tion may be addressed to the de facto government of
Mexico.
Both governments are engaged chiefly in dodging
responsibility. Action to secure redress or punish bandits
is thought of only secondarily and only vaguely by
either government. Approximately 97 percent of the
published interviews and statements of high officials of
both governments has been taken up solely with po
litical apologies and with excuses for failures and non
action the other 3 percent with "watchful waiting"
on our part and high sounding promises on the part
of Mexico.
It is a puzzle why and how the congress of the
United States remains so quiet and acquiescent under
such circumstances. Some sort of hypnotic influence
seems to have been exerted by the administration over
the members of all parties in congress, with a few ex
ceptions. The congressional situation is hard to under
stand. It would seem as if pressure from the country
would be making itself felt by this time.
Many of the statements made for publication by
secretary Lansing, ambassador Arredondo, governor
Ferguson, and others, might be taken up and legiti
mately criticised in detail; but probably no good end
would be served by such a discussion, and nothing they
can say or have said can change the facts in the case,
or modify the gravity of the existing crisis.
The effect of our mistaken policy now is far reach
ing, extending away into the future, and across the seas
into all continents. We are building up an ill reputa
tion, that is bound to get us into trouble. The con
temptuous attitude of all Europe today is due very
largely to our attitude toward Mexico these five years,
which those nations have all been watching closely. In
future it will become so that an American will not be
safe from aggression anywhere in the world, and we
seem to be deliberately inviting all the armed powers
of earth to challenge our rich fat helplessness.
Candidate For Reelection
President Woodrow Wilson is a candidate for re
nomination by the Democratic party. This has been
understood in a general way for more than two years,
but the slight remaining mist of doubt has just been
cleared up by the publication of a letter written by
the president to representative A. Mitchell Palmer in
February 1913, some days before he succeeded to the
presidential power. The letter is published, presumably,
with the president's consent, since it was given out by
an intimate journalist friend. The letter was devoted
chiefly to a general discussion of the proposed constitu
tional amendment to limit a president to one term. But
it had then, and has now, direct personal application.
In the course of the letter, the following significant
paragraphs appear:
"Put the present customary limitation of two
terms into the constitution if you do not trust the
people to take care of themselves. But make it two
terms and give the president a chance to win the full
service by proving himself fit for it.
"I can approach the question from a perfectly im
personal point of view, because I shall most cheer
fully abide by the judgment of my party and the pub
lic as to whether I shall be a candidate for the presi
dency again In 1916. I absolutely pledge myself to
resort to nothing but publlo opinion to decide that
question."
Of the functions of a president, Mr. Wilson says in
the Palmer letter: ,
"He is expected by the nation to be the leader of
his party as well as the chief executive officer of the
government, and the country will take no excuses from
him. He must play the part and play it successfully,
or lose the country's confidence. He must be prime
minister, as much concerned with the guidance of
legislation a3 with the Just and orderly execution of
law: and he is the spokesman of the nation in every
thing, even the most momentous and most delicate
dealings of the government with foreign nations."
Nowhere in the letter does the president allude to
the Baltimore platform, favoring a single terra, urging
a constitutional amendment to make the president in
eligible for reelection, and pledging "the candidate of
this convention to this principle." The candidate has
never once made public reference to this particular
plank.

"Well, take care of yourself," said
Mrs. Littletail. "And don't get cold."
Uncle Wiggily promised that he
would not, and soon ,he was going
along, over the fields and through the
woods, wondering -what sort of adven
ture he would have this day.
The old rabbit gentleman had not
gone very far before he came to a
place in the woods, where some trees
grew in a round ring, closely together,
making a sort of little house. The tree
branches met together overhead, and
some snow had fallen on them, making
a sort of roof.
"Well, that's quite a nice place. I
must tell Sammie and Susie about it,"
thought Uncle Wiggily. "They could
come here to play on warm days."
Uncle Wiggily was about to pass on,
when he heard a noise in the little
wood house, and the voice was saying:
"Now, first ril dip my paws In. and
see how they come out. Then I can
Jump in myself and change my color.
How stylish I will be then! Ahem!"
"Ha! Some one trying to be stylish."
said Uncle Wiggily, putting on his
spectacles se he might see better. "I
wonder who It is?"
Over at one side of the little ring-around-the-rosy
place in the woods
the old gentleman rabbit saw another
and younger rabbit standing in front
of a Settle which was hanging over a
sorx or camp lire.
"Well, here goes for one paw," cried
the young rabbit, who wanted to be
stylish.
Into the kettle over the fire It
dipped a paw. but it pulled the paw
out very quickly, and cried:
"Oh, dear' Ouch' How it burns!"
cried the young rabbit. "But stfll one
cannot be stylish without some pain,
I suppose. Now for another paw."
Uncle Wiggily looked and saw tbat
the white rabbit now had one black
paw, and was about to dip another paw
into the hot kettle.
"Stop! Stop' What are you doing?"
cried Uncle Wiggily. "Who are youT"
T am the proud young rabbit." was
the answer, "and I am going to dye my
white for black. I am tired of being
white. So many common rabbits are

will see how stylish I am, and how dif

like I will let you dye vourself black,
though it hurts. See. I hare here a
kettle full of black dip. Have a dip?"
"No. thank you." said Uncle Wiggily.
"To be white, as I was born, is good
enough for me. And. if you take my
advlee. you will not try to change
your color."
"Oh. no. I must be black and stylish,"
said the young proud labbit "Even
though it hurts me," and the poor,
foolish creature was going to dip an
other paw in the black dye when, all
of a sudden, there was a barking

or come around to see me Thurs. or
FrL I begun to get realy alarmed and
was afraid he nad became desprate
and done himself a mischief. "How
would I feel." thought I was I to pick
up the paper some P. M. and see the
news of his having taken his life by
his own band and I would always feel
like a raurdress." When this idea
come into my head I was nearly fran
tic and made up my mind that I would
locate him at once lor fear I wouldn't
be on time. So I called up a girl's
house and asked her point blank if
she knew his whereabouts. "Who
wants to know." she said. At first I
was attempted to tell her it was none
of her business but another of my
resolutions is to be democratic under
all circumstances so I told her my
real name. "He is here right now,"
said she. "But he says he has not
got time to talk to you." "Let him
tell me that himself." I said keeping
well in check. But she hung up the
phone. Tom there' Of course he
wasn't and I knew it or he would of
insisted on knowing who I was and
then wild horses couldn't have kept

I sent him this note:

cided that things have gone far enough
between you and I. Try to make the
best of It and if you should want to
see me one last time I will not deny
you. Any way call me up tomorrow

But he has not called up and I am
afraid. O that I didn't have a consci

I will not hardly dare look at a pa

fear that my picture will be in it and
notoriety is certainly the last thing I
am looking for.
Comeing home on the car last night
the car was crowded and a young man
quite a good looker got out of his seat

and he begin at once to presume on
his small act of curtsey. "I sit down

at a glance that he was trying to flirt
As luck would have it. there was a
policeman on the car. "Here." I said
to- him. -This young man Is a masher."
The young coward that had got so
fresh tried to sneak out on the plat
form and into the trailer. But I
pointed him out and the policeman
grabbed him and gave him the balling
of his life. Then the policeman come
and took my name and address and
promised me that the young cur would
leave me alone the rest ot the way. But
the papers got wind of It some way
and I had not been at home an hour

begging me and begging me to lelS
them have my picture and patting ma
to all the trouble of sending over to
Feldman's whose got the only decent
picture of me that I have had taken
since I was a little girl because I am
not the kind of girl that wastes all
their money getting pictures taken
and then they go and don't print the
picture. I have called them up three
times today trying to get that repor
ter on the wire1 but they keep telling
me he isn't In and won t be in untu
evening Just as if he was a watchman
and worked nights. I will keep calling
them up till they are sick and tired
of hearing from me and I will never
buy another of their papers as long as
I live. And I will Insist of them giv
ing me my picture back. Who knows
but they might take it into their head
to run it any night. I would make
them pay dear for it If they did.
Tramps and
nr al o. xsirs.
They do say that tramps have a s.gn
language all their own, that if you
give one to eat at your kitchen do jr.
you may expect frequent visitors later
on. for all such read the favorable sign
on the nearest railway watering tank,
or somewhere else, I know not where.
What is a tramp, but a man down
and out? One never to rise, and one
needing only a helping hand.
What does mercv demand'
I have searched the scriptures an . I J
cannot find it said. "Feed the hungry, '1
but do not feel tramps." I
I questioned my heart, but I founa
it an untrustworthy mentor ana then
I remembered that the scrlDture says;
"The eyes of a wise man are in his j
head." and so I turned to my m.nd, and
this was the answer.
"What if the tramp be a sweet moth
er's son whom misfortu" e h-is over
taken, would you refuse hin 'ond be
nansA hs. nlcs rather than steal
"Can von distinguish between the J
deaervincr and the undeserving
"No. Then feed all. and majhar you 1
will entertain an a.uaci mh. ..,.-

days when the world is crying. "Hyl
God, mercy!"
