The friendly spirit existing between Americans and Mexican bolder officals was illustrated this week when Mexican military officers at Nuevo Laredo sought out two Germans who had escaped from the American internment camp at Laredo and crossed into Mexico and brought them to the centre of the international bridge for delivery to American officers. "Had it not been for the courtesy of the Mexican officers and their spirit of cooperation," said Robert L. Barns, chief of the bureau of investigation, the Germans, "the men, whom I believe to be dangerous enemies of the United States, might have made their ultimate escape and continued their plotting." Editing a Newspaper Editing: a newsDaper is a pleasing business?if you can stand it. If subscribers want to bawl out anybody?the editor's the goat. If business is bad?it's because the editor wants too much money for his advertising space. If business is good?advertising hasn't anything to do with it, but conditions are right. If we print what pleases people?that is our duty and we deserve no credit. If we print what displeases? we are a grouch, and a crapehanger, and don't deserve the patronage of the public. If we print the news as it is actually?people call us over the phone and tell us to stop their paper. If we garble it?they tell us we are subsidized by the corpo rate interests. Editing a newspaper is a pleas ing business?we like it.?Bris toe (Mo.) Enterprise. Monroe Will See the Light Monroe Enquirer.
