A few years ago the United States astonished the world by precipitating a war with Spain in order to insure ihn Uiw.,.,Cq nf fiin ( 'nlum iiiHiirL'pnts in their battle for free dom from the Spanish yoke. The oppression 0,1 the nail breed Cuban was more than sentimental tree. America could stand, so we marshalled our forces, attacked the haughty but inoffensive Spaniard in two hemispheres, stole, by power of might, his territory, and In the sacred name of liberty replaced Spanish rulei-s with American governors. Todav. however, we see me ihltiuhu iumy ami 'j - being gathered together with the announced intention ot putting an end to rebellion in Mexico against the arbitrary -ruin nf TiiiiK. Yftf. tha hiHiuFC2its of Mexico arc fighting for freedom just as the Cubans fought a few years itgo against Spain and the rule of Diaz, military despot, is probably every bit as arbitrary and tyrannical as that of Spain's ever was. Those who could not see how the United States was justified even in the name of liberty in making vvar upon a friendly nation because a coiony was in reuumuu, mm a still harder puzzle to solye in discovering a reason why this siunntTnitod States this time interferes in behalf of the tyrant arid oppressor, and ward upon those struggling for liberty. Citizens, of the United .States are plainly puzzled. There must be a reason for all this expensive panoply of war be sides that vouchsafed by President; Taft. What business of ours is it who wins in Mexico? Why should we interfere in what does not concern usl As a foreign power, it is not part of our duty to participate in the quarrels that the people of Latin America amuse themselves with. It is true that we must protect Mexico from foreign ag gression and therefore must protect foreigners in Mexico. But so far, none of these interests are in jeopardy and there is not the slightest danger of foreign aggression. 'Neither arc American in! crests endangered, nor has the Diaz administration as yet proven itself inadequate to suppress the insurgents. Probably the real reason lor tiie garnering oijouccs s urn WRITE-UP IS PROMISED Sunset Magazine to Make Specialty of Medford District In August Sun setGreat Increase in Circulation Will Be Provided to Meet Demand. The Rogue River Vnlley is to he given special recognition in the June issue of the Sunset magazine. Its great resources and matchless scen ery are to bo illustrated in four col ors, and supported by an article pre pared by Mr. Walter V. Woehlkc, one of Amoriea's foremost publicity writt en, who will shortly visit Medforo for tho purpose of gathering data foi it. Mr. Woehlkc has u National re putation, and has contributed iimnj articles of great merit to the Satur day Evening Post and other Easten magazines. The four color illustrat ed miction of Sunset magazine is i new departure established foil) mouths ago, the first article entitled "The Last Call of the West" apnar ing in the November issue. This w.i also written by Mr. Woehlkc and Medford is signally fortunate in be ing selected in this way. The colore write ups represent the highest nr in modern magazine publicity work and Medford is the first city in tin United Slntes, outside of San Fran cisco and Los Angeles, to get thi class of notice. Tho other numberi of Sunset described various Califor nia districts in n collective mnnu.ii' Mr. Mallboouf has been in corrcs poudence with tho Sunset magazim people for several months in rognu to tho matters, and received th cheering news yesterday that hi hopes would ho realized in the Jinx magazine. that the death of Diaz, now admittedly near, will be the signal for a' popular uprising that will endanger the life of every foreigner as well as the safety of every investment -made bv foreigners in Mexico. Sll6uld such tin outbreak fallowed by by ioreurnci occur, it will mean an jVmerican occupation annexation. Either this or European invasion. : If we believe what is told us, Mexico roally ought to bo a part of the United States. Any kind of a change it is said would bo an improvement for the Mexicans them selves. They could not be worse off than left to them selves, for th'e h'alf breed Spanish-Indian has never de veloped a capacity for self government-and the only stable government" Mexico has ever known has been the ruthless military tyranny of a mercenary despot. Mexico feels' she has been exploited under Diaz but wait until Morgan & Co., get a whack at her under tho stars and stripes then she will fully realize tho benefits ot benevolent assimilation. And then perhaps, we will all Realize what the mobilization of military forces tit the threshold of Mexico really means. 30,000 REACHED r BY LOCAL CLUB That Many Prices of Mall Matter Will BeScnf Out This Month Great Strides Arc Made In Publicity Work By Club.

Dr. Rickert Over GRAND JURY TO MEET MARCH 19 Ten Prisoners Now Confirmed in County Jail Awaiting Action of Grand Jurv Five Others Will Be Up Before Unquestionlal Body. Ten prisoners are now confined in the county jail awniting the action of the grand jury which convenes on Mareh 10, and five.per.sons, either ut liberty or on bail or else beyond the reach of the Jackson county officla awaiting n disposition of their cases before the same tribunal. The cases on tho calendar are those of the state ngainst Joseph H. Watson; "John Dee" Watson; John Williams and John Smith, burglnry. committed at Ashlnfid; Alfred Far mer, alleged "wltte. slaver," commit ted from justice of the pence; Glen O. Taylor'u court in Medford; K. A. Nerinj; nnd J. N. Canon, arrested foi committing u burglary on a track walker's cabin in the Sisikiyou mountains nnd committed from tin justice court )in "talilnnM; William Uillis, S. II.. Moore, W. D. Moorr nnd Jerusha Moore, ,lioId under $1,500 bonds each to keen jhe peace in the justice court in Woodville; J. E. Cut bert, alleged board bill beat, com nitted in Ashland; ; Ram Cherry, held indor $1,000 bonds to await the ac ion of the grand jury on n charge if larceny from a building, nnd com nitled fi'oinm Ashland; nnd Bert Cummings, charged with lurccny. Tho case of William Ellison Me- Guffic, held by the justice court in Ashland for, obtaining money under false pretenses will in nil probability bo scratched fro inlhe calendar, th prisonor having been turned over to the authorities of San Jose, Cal., by the local officers to answer to a charge of larceny in tho California city giving the authorities there prior claim on him. His offense hero con sisted of pnssing checks drawn on a mythical bnnk nccotint. Ho was wanted in the south for the alleged theft of a quantity of gold and plat inum from the office of a chemist in which he was employed. The case ngainst Bert Cummings, will probnbly result in tho paroling of the youthful prisoner. His crimo is bcliovcd by tho authorities to have been the result of a sudden impulse and as his former employers in tho city here will allow the boy to re turn to work, it is believed that tho court will cither allow a suspended sentence or place tho prisoner under bonds.
