The ag it there: s just the slightest trace | | of a “reasonable ubt.” Governori Whitman .is to be com- mended for the manner in which he has acted. He has proven he did not take the role of prosecutor with him to the Governor’'s chair. The Becker case has dragged long enough, and it is well it will soon be settled, one way or the other. When a man commits a murder and the evidence admits of no ‘“reasonable 4oubt,” he should be summarily con- victed, sentenced and executed. Am- erican court procedure in late years has been spun out like " an endless skein until death from old age is like- ly to. umndertake some of our con- victed murderers. INTERVENTION, ' Conditions in Mexico City have come to such a pass that intervention by the United States seems a foregone conclusion. The deeds being perpe- trated by:Mexicans in their own ‘capi- tal city have been' compared to-the uprising of the Boxers at Pekin, fif- teen“s"eau ago. . G 1t is ‘expected that as: soon as the negotiations with Germany hdve been settled, President Wilson and Secre- tary of State Lansing will consider plans for putting a stop, ‘to ‘Mexican atrocities. A relief expedition must be sent to Mexico City. Delay means making matters worse. According to Tellable sdurces, the lives of all Am- ericans in that country are in jeop- ardy. 5 Mexico Clty is without food, Com- m\mlt;u.uon with the- outside world has been cut off by the beseigers. Zapatistas have stirred the hungry People to such rash acts that unim- aginable horrors will be enacted un- less speedy action is taken. Ameri- can Red Cross relief has been spurned by those in control of the situation. The Ameriocan flag has been desecrat- ed.. Men; women and children, of for- eign allegiance have been humiliated. One measure of relief would be the opening of the railroad from Mexico City to Vera Cruz.

With .21l the spectacular submarine raids on ocean liners there has not been ona “thriller” of this kind put on the film, 3 Usually, the moving plcture men are the first ones on the scene of action. They have been everywhere with their little revolving cameras and _ have snapped some interesting pantomime, . But when the -real reel material is floating at large on the high seas they have failed to get it. Here is their chance. On July 6, next Tuesday, thereé s gothg to be a grand sinking in the war-zohe. The White Star liner Adriatic is to be sunk by a German submarine. ' The name of the submarine, or letter, rather, has not yet been announced. It will probably bé the U-—some- thing. - The warning has already been given.. The stage is set. The name of the drama, a nautical one, is ‘“The Dive.” The villlan enters “up-stage’ from a.trap door, coming up from a swim. He will greet the hero, or is it heroine, under the proscenium arch of heayen, and with a timely warning, and -a fiendish grin, -stab the victim amidships. It will be a great show. The princi- pal comedian has been having lots of practice of late and is in fine fettle. Too bad there, will be no audience. For . this purpose the ‘“movie” man should go out and get a snapshot of the drama for presentation to those of us who have grown wegry of the farcical stuff being handed out on the screen these days and nights. Only five Americans have shipped on the Adriatic which left New York last Tuesday and is scheduled to meake its appearance in the ‘‘war zone” early on the morning of July | 6. This ship, which is one of the fastest ‘afloat, carries four humdred and twenty passengers, may of whom are men high up ‘in the service of Great Britain. She carries a cargo of war material, - munition, and a large consignment of automobiles. Just like the advance notice given the Lusitania's fate, rumors were Current yesterday in shipping circtes that the Adriatic is to be sent to the bottom. The Germans contend they cannot let her go. She is too big a prize. If the owners of this vessel have afy sense,of humor they will wire- less the captain of the Adriatic to change his course and make ' the Jjourney ‘to ‘Liverpool by a different ; route.. This wpuld, of course,’ spoil a ‘perfectly good sinking' scene for some “mm?” man, but then it would | be such. a good joke on the German commander of the U-——something. | Even the commander of the submar- | iné would have to laugh. He couldn’t help himself. \ FACTS AND FANCIES, John Bull is waking up to the fact that the man who wen't fight mus® work.;—Binghamton Press.
