The Herald's
THE HERALD is'depeneiae for its Hesico news service (leased wire day and
night) upon the very thoroughly organized service of the Associated Press
both as to Mexico news and Washington news. The Herald also enjoys
the cooperative service of the local news bureau of the A. P. but the basis of the
thorough local news service is as always the energetic work of a trained and
eiperiesced force of local news gatherers who do not need to be teM what is news
or to submit to censorship oBtsifle the office.
To keep the record straight it may be worth noting that the editor of The
Herald has not been visited by any committee; that no protest by local authorities
has been brought to the editor upon any matter connected with the handling of
the news of the day or anything else; and that the policy of The Herald is
directed by the men who own the paper and will continue to be so directed.
Therefore the great public which is dependent solely upon The Herald for
full fair impartial legitimate and uncolored news may take fresh assurance
that the news service of The Herald has not been impaired and will not be im-
' paired by any attempted interference from outside The Herald organization.
On the other hand the public does not need to be reminded that no person
or group of persons in El Paso have greater material interests at stake in El Paso
than have the owners of The Herald who needless to say require no reminder
by others of the responsibilities assumed in publishing a daily newspaper.
Editions will continue to be issued as the news develops and as the news may
justify extraordinary service to the public.
Nine editions daily are absolutely required in order to catch the various mails
and deliveries. These editions (beyond the three regular city editions) are given
to the El Paso public only when the news situation demands it and additional
ones are issued as circumstances justify.
When there are no important new developments no extra editions will be
issued locally; otherwise the public may rest assured that every important item of
news will be given out by The Herald first most fully most accurately and with-
out bias suppression or distortion to serve any special interest.

Health reports from the southern states show that the stock family friend of
the "good old times" malaria is on the decline. The decline is due health officers
say to a general intelligence as to the responsibility of the anopheles mosquito
and his consequent merciless assassination.

A Boston clergyman once said that one of the most effective sermons for
temperance was delivered by John L. Sullivan when he met defeat in the ring.
He held up his hand and exclaimed "Gentlemen booze done it."
A Negro elevator boy in a New York apartment house discovered a fire at 3
in the morning ran his elevator up awoke everybody and saved everybody. He
carried 18 families down and worked so fast and so continuously emptying his
building that he fell to the ground exhausted when the last load was down.
Another case of very simple adequate heroism and at 3 in the" morning too when
seeing and knowing and doing just the right thing comes harder than at later or
earlier hours of the 24.
o
Admirable Domestic Order
EL PASO and Juarez equally have reason to congratulate themselves upon
the perfect domestic order being maintained during this time of considerable
tension. The action of the Juarez authorities in closing the port at night
and closing the resorts is a most commendable precaution against accident; the
troops in Juarez are holding themselves in fine restraint and public order in Juarez
is perfect. There has net been the least disposition to molest any visiter and no
hostile feeling even incipient is to be discerned.
Watchfulness prevails on both sides but that is really more for the purpose of
preventing any possible outbreak by irresponsible and unorganized bodies than
for any reason based upon official international relations as such.
The Spanish-Amerkans in El Paso numbering with refugees at least 25000
have conducted themselves with splendid self restraint. Among some of the more
ignorant fear seems to prevail that there would be some danger to them in case
of a dash. Nothing could be further from truth. These people are just as safe
here as they would be in Canada.
And even if that most unfortunate possibility an armed clash should occur
the Spanish-Americans residing here so long as they themselves remained orderly
and neutral would have the same protection as the Americans and would have
absolutely nothing to fear.
El Paso expects all persons within her borders to keep the peace ana remain
neutral and quiet now and in case of any extraordinary contingency arising. EI
Paso in such event would count as her friends all who declined to contribute in
any way to disorder; and to those who kept the peace the same protection would
be extended regardless of nationality or race.
It rests very largely with the people right here on this border on both sides
of the river whether we shall continue in amity and good neighborly relations
or allow hostility and bitterness to upset good judgment and destroy friendship.
Certain it is that if any wrong is to be committed against the peace of these
communities it will have to start with others than the Americans waose sole
desire is now as ever for peace so long as that peace can be honorably maintained.

A scientific theory describes Venus as a timeless planet. This bright and
lovely star turns always the same face to the sun and rotates in a circle and
therefore has neither seasons nor day and night. How can there be any changes
to mark the lapse of time?

It would be a pity not to hear from CoL Roosevelt every so often but the last
word from him that he has shot the rarest bird on the continent a curucui with
heterodactylss feet is very reassuring. Roosevelt is Roosevelt and himself always.
No other president we have ever had has been so enthusiastic an expresident.
The amount of fan he gets and the smoke he makes are remarkable.

LITTLE
INTERVIEWS
J(T BELIEVE that It hi an utter Im
possibility to try a criminal
case under present conditions"
said district attorney W. W. Brldsers.
The Jurors are wholly enable to fix
their minds on the case and as far
as weighing the evidence. I don't be-
lieve they would hear halt of It.
Everyone Is more or less under m sort
of suspense and I really could not ex-
pect a man to sit on a case and give
bis undivided attention to the evi-
dence. In the cases we have tried I
could see the jurors straighten np
every time they heard the cry of "ex-
tra. They would seem to forget all
.about the case on trial showing: a dis-
position rather to want to get the ex-
tra and see what the war news was.
I do not believe thftt cases can be
tried under tbese circumstances and I.
think that the best and only thine to
do is to adjourn. I believe it would
be useless to attempt to try a case.
Adjournment of the district court Is
being seriously considered. I believe
that the court will be adjourned. In
these Van Horn cases we brought
about T5 Van Horn witnesses from
Van Horn. Of course that is an item
of expense to be considered but as it
is It seetns to be useless to try any
cases."
"I hear a good deal of talk about
men sending their families out of the
city until the Mexican situation clears
up" said J. B. Kllpatrick. "While
the situation may be fraught with pos-
sibilities the' city and county officials
have it well in hand. The military
authorities at Fort Bliss are prepared
to handle the situation. I do not
think that there is the slightest dan
ger to any families. They will be
safer in El Paso than they will be
somewhere else. Even In the event
there is a clash the families will not
be in danger. El Paso is in good shape
from every point of view and El
Pasoans are ready to meet any con-
dition." "Indications are very favorable for
the excursion to Silver City of EI
Paso fans in order to witness Copper
league teams m action on the dia-
mond." said Frank L. Caplinger. dean
of El Paso baseball fans. A number
of automobile owners have already
signified their intention of Joining and
boosting the movement should it be
made with" any show of force. Besides
being a dandy recreation it would be
one of the greatest booster excursions
that has left El' Paso since the famous
Keynote excursion through Arizona
and New Mexico in 11Z. Silver City
according ' to reports is more than
anxious for the EJ Pasoans to come
up They have even gone so far as to
issue an informal Invitation to a num-
ber of local fans. If the excursion by
rail Instead of the automobile tour to
Silver City materializes there will be
at least 250 or 300 fans who will be
only too glad to avail themselves of
the opportunity of witnessing pro-
fessional baseball. The caliber of
ball which the Copper league clubs
are playing at present is well known
in El Paso."
