Iitcn4 at the pelofflc at La Grande Orrgen, second class matter, SUBSCRIPTION BATES. Dally, tingle eopy It fettly. ver week 15 Badr. ner month 5c AT LAST, AT LAST. The cont'nued Inactivity of Presi dent Taft on the actuation In Mexico ' aeema to be almost at an end. and It looki ai though President-elect wll- on will take the executive chair with a email war on hit hands. It now seems apparent that the United State la really going to hold up her head and refuse to longer have her citizens killed In the land of the ruffian. But why the delay? What good ex cuse can President Taft ever make for not pulling Mexico's ears long ago and forcing her to be decent? The American flag baa been Insulted re peatedly. American blood has often been spilled on Mexico soil by Mexi- ! FOR LENT ! cans, yet the prealdent baa refused to enter a protest that was of some moment, and has rested on some sort of cynlomacy or alleged ethical dig nity while murder continued unahat ed and property of Amorlcans Buffer ed the torch. The big battle In the city c' Mexico seems to bare acted aa an alarm to awaken the stupid war department. and bag caused President Taft to -torn over in his sleep. Just bow far this will go can only be guessed at. Sure-, Jy, In the name of falrnesa "nd nation al honor the powers at Washington will not rest again In the vRln hon that Madero and young Hlrix will sud denly become human and that Mexico will suddenly become gafe. , without Intervention of American troops. Anyone who has been through Mex ico and witnessed the native Mexican and his habits knows that soft word and nalm leaf fans will never bring pence and safety there. When Pres'dent Wilson takes the chair next month we earnestly believe the Taft program In Mexico will be cut short, unless by that time the wa department of th'a nation get on the lob as thotwrh meant business.

"SPENDING TOO MUCH". Ah, Jim Hill, some how you come from hiding long enough to say a word or two to the American people that hits the spot. Now, Jim Hays: The American people are mad In their spending tendencies." And no one dare denv the old railroader's statement. We, as a nation, are money crazy: aa a state we are money crazy: and as municipalities we are money crazy. Spend, soend. spend. That Is the present system.
