This is not saying the students were right, but, in the interest of neutrality, no man of learning who essays to guide the minds of young men should be so . warped in his views as to prejudice students one way or another. If the ' professor entertained any decided an- | tipathy for = certain belligerents abroad, he should have taken a trans- port to foreign shores and fought for the cause he thought was right,—not start a battle in his own class room. American boys are naturally fair- minded. The one !great danger of ruining this trait is to employ bigot- ed teachers in the history classes of our schools. Before the present col- ossal struggle in ‘Burope, which has in great measure taken our minds off internal problems, the Civil war was the one big stumbling block in the teaching of history. Text books written by historians | favoring one side or the ‘other, and in mést cases ground out to meet the demands of a certain section, were ruthlessly thrown in the way of young pupils with the result that in- passes. ened the Americans, running them from their isolated ranches. The In- dians in their wild enthusiasm have declared war on the United States,’ Germany and Mekico. TAILORS OF TOOLEY STREET. Former President Taft since leav- ing his somewhat sumptuous chafr in the White House has endeared him- self to the people of America as per- haps no other ex-president has done, —at least in recent vears. His genial smile has permeated even into the camp of his political enemies and turned ali the cohorts into friends. For the former president has shown himself a kindly philosopher: of the first magnitude. Last night 'at a banquet in Phila- delphia heralding the opening of a peace conference. in Independence hall, the ex-president expounded ‘a few theories on peace Which savor of great practicability. Recognizing the utter impossibility of any peace League staying the blood-thirsty as- saults now in vogue by armies grap- pled in deadly combat, Professor Taft suggested the working out of a gold- en medium, which might prevent a recurrence of another great war. He sees that no band of men, however Worthy their motives, can set them- tense hatred was endangered between /peoples of two great sections of our: country.: Some ‘able philosopher once marked that no true history could be Te- tlenul or international crisis. The Derspective of time ‘must enter into thel equastion to eradicate any person- al feelings. The great re-union of the Blue and Gray on the battlefield of Gettysburg in' 1913, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the batle of G7ttysburg. was oné great step in ce- menting the bonds of friendship be- sented in cold, uncolored langun.ge For the aforementioned reasons the in touching on the present day war in his history class. Fifty years from now this subject may be treated 'in American class rooms without danger of the students arising .en’'masse'and smiting the proteuar a mighty smote. JOUR SECOND INVASION OF MEXICO. Saturday next, ;n expeditionary’ force of marines 'and blue-jackets from the Pacific fleet .will “peacefully: invade” Mexico from the west coast.’ Renegade Yaqui Indians having. gone on the war-path and threatened the lives of American colonists in’ the beautiful Yaqui Valley, at . the foot-hills of the Sierras, Admiral Howard, commander-in-chief of the Pagcific fleet, has been ordered by the Navy Department to quell the dis- turbance ) Seemingly, this isa ‘radical change omes the question:— day.

It may be due to the abrupt fleparture from the cabinet of Peace. At any rate, force will be re- sorted to if necessary to protect the | lives and ‘property rights of Ameri- can citizens in' Mexico. It takes no stretch of memory to recall the days previous fo April' 19, 1914, when the American marines and sailors landed at Vera Cruz. In those, by-gone days lives of American citizens were want- only destroyed in Mexico, ' property ‘was confiscated, and the state depart- ment evaded every issue. American refugees who. landed at New' . Orleans, after running the gauntlet of death in Mexico, were vociferous * in . their denunciation of the “grape-juice” policy. Many |of them claimed English citizens = in Mexico were given better treatment than the ‘“gringoes,”” as the natives there call Americans From lack of protecdon these Americang were be- ginning to wonder if the American flag had any significance What a great change of mind must come over the American citizens in the Yaqui Valley today, when they learn their government is sending them the wateh- dogs of the navy for protec- tion. Admiral Howard has been given free rein in the disposition of his duty. And yet his mission will not be one of conquest,—merely an expe- dition for protection purposes. He will not occupy Mexican soil. * Governor Maytorena, of the town of Esparanza, has been urged by the American consul at Guaymas to give refuge to the American colonists in the Yaqui. This part of Mexico is un- der control of Villa's forces. In the | event of failure to comply with request, Admiral Howard has orderedto resort to arms for the pro- tectibn' of Americans. He will ar- rive in-Tabari Bay on Saturday ready ‘ritory occupied by their ' tlons of anarchy or ) following ' | definite policy. the | beei | selves up in favor of peace’ at any price and at the same time claim to represent the sentiment of the entire nation. Neither can' the so-called arm chair warriors or jingoes advo- cate their principles as representa- tive of the great American people. To this end, Professor Taft likened ‘the men who will atténd the confer-" ence to the tailors of Tooley, straet, who rmistook themselves for the peo- ple of England. He gave to under- stand that those /who attend the Philadelphia conference do not rep- resent anybody but themselves. There is much to be said regarding ' Mr. Taft’s simile, but this one fact stands out above all others,—if the Ameri- can people were looking for a goodl tailor from Tooley street they could'go a long way and not get a better fit for the clothes of their opinion, than those cut to order by Tailor#Taft. If the American people wanted .anyone to represent them as a nation in any conference, the name of William Howard Taft would be among the first’ suggested. & DEVILISH DEATH DEALING. Germany and England have now vowed unscrupulous retaliation - on each other for aerial attacks on ter- non-com- (Instead of adopting resolu- the methods used by outlaws and pirates, the two. nations should come to some agreement for the ultimate restriction’ of such raids. If the aeroplane and Zeppelin, balloon are .to have . their places fixed in modern warfare, their attack should ‘be governed by some They should not' be allowed to float over the earth and at will drop death-dealing missiles on innocent heads, The last two aerial attacks perpe- trated by German and French ma- chines were absolutely of no benefit to either side, so far as military value is concerned. In last night's raid on the eastern coast of Great Britain, Zeppelins killed sixteen persons be- sides destroying numerous buildings by ' fire. French aeroplanes at the same time hovered over German ter- ritory and dropped explosives on the town of Karlsruhe, in Baden, killing twelve persons. These are the methods of modern ‘warfare, Spectacular they are, but inhuman. = If aeroplanes met their Kind, and Zeppelins fought Zeppelins, their maneuverings would conform more to war ethics,—granting there is such a thing. Or, if the deadly bombs cast from Zeppelins and heav- ier-than-air craft were dropped on enemy fortifications there would be some sense to the scheme. At best the aeroplane was enlisted in the ser- vices of the armies to act in - its natural domain,—that is,—recon- noitering. These flying machines have their true work in searching for troops of the enemy. When an aviator deliberately, or acting under orders, flies over neu- tral territory and rains a fusillade of bombs 6n innocent men, women and children, he is stepping outside the rules. of warfare. Non-combatants are supposed té be protected, even at a bull fight. If a football player stepped off the gridiron in the midst of a game and beat spectators over their heads with his noseguard, he would soon be given his just deserts. It is time someone took care of these m?niaca_l aviators. batants, After distributing ammunition men in the trenches, an officer who wanted to know if all were supplied, said:—"“All those who are without for any emerflnw e §000 Yaqui arms hold up your hands.” Moral, It can’t be done.

Editor Herald:— Kindly give me space in your col- umns to protest against the “wading pool,” in the - alley-way near ° my building. I read in your paper, not so very long ago, that the board of health was investigating the keeping of chickens in the second district. A few chickens can do little harm; but imagine how detritmental to health is the pool of stagnant water in the alley. I have to contend with it 12 months in the year. The city of Ber- lin or Plainville would not permit such a nuisance. Children from tae whole neighborhood 'come right in front of my door to play in the dir- ty water. Not only that, but when the water dries up, the flies and insects swarm about the place. They look like a black cloud when something stirs them up. If you would spare/ enough room to request that some- thing be done for the health of the | children by the elimination of tae stagnant water you will grant me a great favor. VALENTINE BOLLERER.

Bryan’s vague but fanatical emo- tionalism would be laughable were it not forced on the country at a time of serious crisis, and did it not tend to give support to the opponents of this country, with whom we are in discussion at this moment. When, however, he revives the hyphen in American citizenship and appeals di- rectly for the support of “‘German- | Americans” he is going a bit too far. The president, editors throughout the country and men of high ideals, sith as Mayor Blankenburg of this cuy, have been bending every endeavor to thé elimination of hyphenated citizen- ship in this country. Just as they are making their best efforts and ef- fects along comes Bryan with an ap- peal not to Americans, but separating a group of them and calling them German_-Americans, to whose preju- dices he addresses himself.
