Wilson Call Another Bluff.
It la an Interesting development that has com
to light In connection with the Mexican situation In
the attempt made by European money sharks to
precipitate a crista between the American govern-
ment and Mexico These financial intereata hecom-
ng somewhat alarmed concerning the fund th-y
ha placed In Mexico concluded that It would BS
pious idea to force the hand rnf the United States
lo compel the recognition of the Huerta govern-
ment or American Intervention under the shadow
of the Monroe doctrine -that President Wilaon
would he made to believe that If the United Slates
did not act promptly In the matter European gov-
ernments would. In the furtherance of theae de-
sign diplomatic representatives of European gov-
ernment in Mexico City were Induced to mske rrp-
r ts illations in their respective government that
the Dm I tad mate should be compelled to act on
ws or the other and then the report was put ui
that European force was being brought to bear on
the United states lo compel early action.
Just what has happened at Washington along
these linen has not been made public and there may
have come nome Intimations that If tranquility
not soon restored tn Mexico European nations with
arg. interests there would feel Impelled to Inter-
er for the protection of those interests. If the
United States did not first take some action looking
'o the restoration nf tranquility But thars has
seen a complete failure In the plana nf thoae who
'onaplnd lo force the hand of the Arrertcan govern-
ment. It Is true that Ambassador Wilson has been
'jummnned from Mexico City to report to the presi-
dent conditions that actually exist but that fact I
either an evidence of alarm on the part of the
American government or of Intention to change or
modify Its policy toward Mexico. It merely repre-
sent the determination of President Wilaon to get
the actual facts as to conditions In Mexico--to get
from the ambassador orally a report that could nut
aafely be transmitted by wire and there la nothing
the least bit ominous In the situation.
It Is given out from Washington aasml officially
however thai there la to be no recognition of th-
Huerta administration no armed interference with
Mexico and Rurnpe Is sdmonlahed that the Monroe
doctrine a allll In full force and effect. All of
which la a dignified and proper anawer to thoae who
have attempted to precipitate a crisis between the
two nations.
Rearing these facta In mind. It la certain that
the policy of non-interference with Mexico Is going
to he adhered to until there are developments In
Mexico which Justify contrary action. If there should
b a hoatlle development from Mexican sources
requiring vigorous sctlon there Is no doubt but lhat
It would speedily follow If on the other hand.
Mexico should ask the aaalatance of the American
love in In the holding f a constitutional elec-
tion and the atralgh'tenlng out of the existing en-
laaglemeats It la probable the request would be
promptly compiled with. Rut it ia certain there
is going to be no hostile Interference unleea future
sMwailopmenta require It. The people of the l ulled
Sutra and the American government have no desire
to take any advantage of our neighbor during the
Uass they are in su much trouble or at any future
Urns
The sensible thing fur Mexico to du In the pre-
Miss aoulrt be to cease fighting agree lo abide thv

contained In Ihe following extract from th l.a
Vegaa IN M ) tssmrvrral:

ing hot down there Yes. and you are turning

In El Paso might well become summertime booster
for the Meadow City. Whoop her up boys for
the l.aa Vegas climate."
It may h true that La Vega possesses a de-
lightful summer climate but how In the world did
the Democrat man acquire the Idea that It I swear-
ing hot In Kl Paso that moaqultoee are abundant
and It Is necessary to kick the cover off and cuss
the weather bureau? It Is an assumption so com-
pletely at variance with the fact that It seem al-
most criminally libelous The Democrat man must
have had some other Texas city In mind when per-
petrating this libel. H must have been thinking of
Dallas nestling on the banka of the fragrant
Trinity where they fry egga on the pavement aleep
under electric fans the sis of windmills and where
mosquitoes when full grown sre sbnut the Blse of
sparrow-hawk. Certain It Is thaft hi few remarks
on th uhjct are not applicable to El Paao th
Queen City of the Southwest and the Queen of sum-
mer resorts
It is true that e have had some few warm days
in Kl Paso during the past week or two days that
brought a healthy florid glow to the El Paao coun-
tenance but when the evening shallow gathered
a the orb nf day went to roost In th West the
cooling breasa have quickly scattered the caloric
from the atmosphere wooed the sleepy one to grate-
ful and refreshing slumber and earned him to "pull
klver" with a vengeance before morning. And were
the long summer day we have in El Paso twice as
torrid aa they have been for a few days this summer
those delightful hreeaes which steal down from tho
mountains and sweep up the Mo Qrande valley wl'.h
Invigorating volume and cadence would be suffic-
ient recompense.
And those horrid insects of carnivorous Instinct
referred lo by the Las Vegaa scribe are almoat total
strangers In this beautiful and rapidly growing city.
The songs that they sing In their native lairs are no!
for Kl Past and the bills they present ar not recog-
nised here. There are hardly enough left In th
entire Rio Grande valley to propagate the apeclos.
fttlxene- of El Paao who have gone to other ummr
resorts are hurrying home realising that they have
missed much to make life worth living while IS ay
were gone and while we appreciate the Imitation
of our Ix Vegaa friend we feel It would be but
a work of aupererrogatlon to seek abroad for the
thing we hsve so abundant at home.
Rtyromentativo Burgoo' Suggootion.
The Houston coat print the following editorial
review of a recent suggestion anent legislative Im-
provement made by Representative Itlchard Bur-
gas the able and talented representative from El
Paso county In the atate leglslstur:
"Representative Burgea nf El Paso comes for-
ward with a practical remedy for one of the admit-
ted evlla of our legislative procedure. It Is for the
reference of all bills Immediately upon engrossment
lo the Legislative Bureau of the State Library "for
correction of errors In form spelling grammar anJ
rhetoric and to the end that palpable omissions or
in. onslstsncles may be corrected and the attention
of the author of the bill Invited to apparent con-
flict with the constitution snd with Isws not sought
to be amended or repealed by the bill."
"Surely Ihla eentlble ausgestlon will be adopted
when presented to the legislature. The work of
every legislature la full of errors and crudities The
controversy now raging In the state over the pro-
posed constitutional amendments might have been
averted If the Joint resolutions had been -objected
to such scrutiny as Mr Burgea suggests. We recall
once thst a special session of the legislature wa
necessary to cur a serious srror In the election law

times Much of the hostile criticism which falls to
the lot of ovary leglslstur might be avoided If all
measures were subjected lo the proper errullay. Is
th end that the legislative intent may be fully
and accurately expresssd.

ciary. If the amendment le ad-opted tha lajhrttur

"Th third amendment on the ballot propose
amendment to Bscs. 41 and 12 nf Art. Ill of thw
constitution which define and limit th power
of the legl. 1st ura it proposed to (mend Sec. 41
so a to permit the legislature to authorise the UBl-
verelty to borrow money. In th shap of a bond t-
me Itlth which to purchase additional land and
erect neceaaary building for a complete and first-
class nivaralty. It I propoaed to pay th Interest
on these bond from the money now being received
by the university aa Interest on bond held by the
permanent university fund and on land note and on
lands leased which belong tn th university The
adoption of the amendment will not Impose a single
cent of tax upon the people of Texas for the pur-
chase of such grounds and the erection Bf needed
building. Sec. 14 of Art VII of the constitution
prohibits th legislature from appropriating money
nut nf the general revenue raised by taxation for
the erection of buildings for ths university. It the
buildings of the university were to burn there would
be no way by which they could be rebuilt except
from the Interest money which It derives from
bonds land notes and land leases and the univer-
sity would have to suspend and go out nf business
The amount of bonds that could be Issued under
this prevision would be limited tn about 11100.000.
ss that Is th amount to which the Income of the
university would pay Interest and sinking fund upon.
A. M M. snd Other Institutions.
"Another claajse provides that the legislature
may authorise an issue nf bonds for the erection of
buildings for ths Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege and necessary building for other public Insti-
tutions. An Issue of bonds under this provision
would of course be limited to the necessary build-
ing. The public building nf the atate are calling
for the appropriation of $. 000 000 In round figures
for building which if granted by. the legislature
would hav to be paid out of thl year' tax rate
and the tax rate accordingly Increased for that pur-
pose. If the amendments to Sees. 41 and It are
adopted It would not necessarily mean the Issuance
of bonds by the legislature but If they were Issued
to supply ready monsy for needed public buildings
for the asylums orphans' home. deaf dumb and
blind Institution the Interest and sinking fund on
the amount needed would not require an Increase t
taxes.
"It la proposed In thl amendment to authorize
the Issuance of bonds for the penitentiary tor fhc
completlon of the penitentiary system and the pur-
chase of additional lands upon which to work con-
victs. The regular session of the legislature author-
ised an Issue of 11.000.000 bonds for this purchsae
snd they are now being printed and will be sold o
the state school fund snd when purchased by the
tat school fund th atate guarantee th payment
of the Interest and principal The adoption of this
amendment would simply allow the legislature to
guarantee the payment of Interest and principal on
bonds authorised to be Issued and with such guar-
antee theee bond would sell at a premium of ISc on
the dollar. The penitentiary system therefore would
get the benefit of $1.00. COO premium on lt.BB0.000
of bonds which will be lost If the amendment la not
adopted
"Under Sec. 62 as t't now exist It require a
two-third vote to sdopt a proposition to levy pre-
cinct or coi nty taxes and Issue bonds for good roads.
The ament men: propones to change this so that
a majority o iroperty taxpayers may adopt such
s proposition. The only other change proposed In
the amendment to Sec .2 la the addition of tha last
paragraph which will authorise the people of coun-
ties or subdivisions of oountiss to form warehoui
districts and vote a lax on fnemaelve to Issue bonds
which would psy the Interest and sinking fund on
same and establish fireproof warehouses in which
ths farmeri can store their cotton and other pro
ducts and hold the same at a amall coat to them-
selves for warehousing and firs insurance. A war -house
receipt Issued under such conditions will bo
ss good as a bond and better than bank stock as
collateral upon wlilch the farmer can borruw money
at a low rate of Intereat. ami hold their cotton and
not lie forced to sell aame on a declining market.
"The purposes of the amendments are good an I
they are entitled to fair conslduratloa by ths voters
for the reasons above elated. To summarise them
"The smendment to Bsc. 7 of Art. V will be'
ter our judicial system.
"The addltloa of Sac. I to Art. XVI will autho -lx

H. D. Camp. "It s a wonder. I am having twe
made for my ranch. Mr Bailey is catching eight
hundred pounds of grasshoppers a day with one ma-
chine. He Is having three more made. Suppose i
hundred such machines were at work In this valley
That would mean four car loads of hoppers a day
Buch a massacre would have an Immediate effect M
the pest In this valley. If the grasshopper pest
remains with us. the time will come when one ol
these catchers will be aa necessary a machine fot
the farmer as a hay baler of a mower or any other
farm implement. The working principle of the ma-
chine la simple. It Is a smooth tin surface slightly
curved about' sixteen feet long and three feet high.
It ia dragged over (he field on skids. The hopplrs
fly agalnat the tin. It Is Slick and they fall to the
bottbn and here pass through a crack into a box
underneath. Mr Bailey I drying his catch for
chicken feed In time dried grasshopper may i.- ?
come a staple in this section of the country with
its regular market quotation. If so. some day you

"Why yes." said D. W. Itlckhart. as he neatly
executed one of Bob Krakauer'n lust bugs "I have
observed the slashed aklrt and 1 hsve noted With ad-
miration the calf parade though the fabric through
wHIch 1 viewed the exhibition la not so open aa
mosquito netting. But why all this talk aboat It?
Tha live stock In the parade are healthy pretty
animal and everybody likes to see them except the
envious angular female whose branches are ths
same six? from ankle to knee. I'll wager the beer
that If the mayor and aldermen had as shapely
limbs aa the underwearleas and slash-skirt maids
they would be going around lo mosquito netti.ig
pants slashed open from the thigh to the bottom
and tied open with pink ribbon bows. My only ob-
jection to the underwearleas and slaahed-sklrt girl
Is that she might demoralise too proverbial modesty
erf our police force. 1 would not for the world have
anything happen to 'blur the blush of modeaty'
which mantles their cheek when Madame Prude
Is forced to disclose the top of her half hose whea

"It strikes me." any a local banker "that the
city could handle with good profit to Itself th H
entire county bond Issue of 1110000 As 1 under-
atand It the county bonda will mature ui forty yean
while the city bonds for which It big sinking fund
waa created will mature to thirty years. But that
make n. . difference. The city could take the forty
year bonds hold them for five or ten year and then
all them on a strosg market for a pramlum. In
th meantime th county would by holding th
hoods ten years clean up ITiO0 more than it would
receive from the bank for lntrt on the 1210. OOv
th bpnd pay th . it. only I 1-2 per cent os
dally balances while the county will pay per ceat
OS the bond. Bhould th city decide tn carry thv
bond for thirty yaar It would mak a net profit of
1211.110 ova and abov what u would receive in
Intereat for dally bank balance and the bonds eould
lhan be easily hypothlcated for their face value
