I^i I Mean and contemptible as I was the method by which HuerI ta and Diaz rid themselves of I Madero, to whose clemency I Diaz owed his life, the miserable affair is not a casus belli. The lamentable massacre of the Servian rulers a few years ago was not made the occasion by neighboring powers for armed intervention. There is a difference in the present case, it is true, in that the United States, which formerly had appealed successfully to Madero for clemency toward Diaz, had likewise aske'the same favor of Huerta and TJiaz toward Madero, if a air trial for the latter was not, , indeed, demanded, and the a* lerciless murder was, therefore, a slap at this nation: but one it seems, for which intervention would not be the proper punishment. There is chaos in Mexico. The Huerta government is a de facto, not a de jure, one. Madero, when killed, was the legal President, for he was President by vote of the people, and the resignation which was forced from him did not thereby gain legality. He was not a rebel. There is no way today to tell who is who in Mexico. The IIuerta-Diaz coalition is not recognized in all the states. Who knows but that tomorrow it will be Huerta who falls before the bullets of Diaz's (assassins, or that the next day Diaz himself will be the victim? Where does responsibility begin in the City of Mexico and where does it end? A government which is enthroned by the treason of a Praetorian Guard is no government at all. But in many of the states there is order. In other cities law abides. Intervention does not become jjLeither advisable or excusable so long as American citizens are not molested. For the destruction of American property damages may be demanded and obtained. It may be that Huerta and Diaz are anxious to have the United States interfere, hoping thus to bring all Mexico to their standard in a war for the national defense, believing that even in defeat they would have about them so well drilled a corps of veterans that upon the restoration of peace they could maintain themselves indefinitely in power. Santa Anna was q^iite that foolish. It is probi-)le, however, that the men *%\o now are so powerful in the i#.pital will wilt under common jealousies. There is a strong man somewhere, yet undiscovered, a Little Corsican waiting ^ for his chance. Until he is found there will be no peace in Mexico, intervention or no intervention.?News and Courier. READ WITH INTEREST. Rome Considers Wilson's Address a Frank Enunciation. Rome, March 5.?President Wilson's address, although not touching on international affairs, on questions directly affecting Europe, was read here with great interest. It is considered by the newspapers generally as a frank enunciation of a policy the carrying out of which may prove a useful lesson for the old world. Early Vegetables Pay Best. By starting our plants in hotbeds we have early vegetables for the market at a time when the demand is greatest, and when we can dispose of them at the highest price. On the other hand, those waiting until later in the season, when the ground becomes warm and the weather mild, find that they will have more vegetables than are needed for their own table use. They are able to sell this surplus at a very small, or more probably at no profit at all. if labor is figured at its just value. There is almost an unlimited demand for early vegetables, while there is only a dull market, if any at all, for summer vegetables.?J. G. Hardison, in The Progressive Farmer. 1 I l 11 V i\i ?\*J Rock Hill Special to Columbia State, March 4: The voters of Rock Hill today approved the bond issue of $75,000 for school purposes.

LEONARD T. BAKER, Secretary. Other Side of White Slave Problem. John D. Rockefeller of New York is giving his time, money and best effort to save and rescue women in the underworld and to prevent others from going the downward path. All over the country individuals and societies are working to accomplish the same purpose. Judge Webb, of North Carolina, called in some women, charged with violations of the law last week in Charlotte, and after closing the doors of the court room, talked to them and made a most earnest plea for them to give up their present mode of life. All these appeals for social purity are made to the unfortunate women, as though they were to blame for it all. Even the author of the book of Proverbs, being a man, places all the blame on the fallen women, who, with much fair speech and kattering lips, persuade men, even strong men, to visit their house, which is "the way to hell 9? $100 Reward, $100 The readers of this p?|T will be pleased to learn that tin re In at [imk! oiio <1 r- aded disease that dolniof has I n able to euro In all Its alanes, and that is Catarrh.

The committee is confident of success in its campaign to enroll as active members at least half of the 4,500 white teachers of the state, and assemble at Columbia the largest and most impressive educational convention ever held in South Carolina. President Burts has prepared a program every topic of which is of immediate and vital interest. The discussions of problems directly affecting you as a teacher and the general educational policies of the state will be led by men of prominence in the promotion of education. Identify yourself with this association, whose roll is representative of the earnest and progressive teaching force of the state; come to the convention, if possible, and avail yourself of its opportunities both to receive and to confer benefit. If you believe reform is needed and can be effected in the present conditions of certification, appointment, tenure of position, salary and other matters concerning you personally and professionally, and if you are interested in the greater questions of vocational training, consolidation of schools, compulsory attendance and child labor laws, and other problems relating to the promotion of social welfare through greater efficiency in education, you will become a working member of that body of teachers to which the state justly looks for the service of investigation and enlightenment, and the formulation of definite plans for the solution of educational problems. If you are not already a member, enroll today. The county enrolling the highest percentage of its teachers will be awarded a banner. The state board of education recommends that trustees grant two days' vacation, with pay, to teachers attending the association. The railroads will sell tickets at 3* cents a mile for the round trip, plus 25 cents. The city of Columbia, through the co-operation of the chamber of commerce and its numerous educational institutions, is preparing to give the association a cordial T.-< :ui THE LANCASTER NEWS, M going down to the chambers of death." ??? For the continuance of this tf|T I7Vfa social evil the men are more to blame than the women.
