•N'ot many weeks ago an. organi
sation known as Uia League
I Op the Lefenseg of French inter
ests in Mexico, made a report set
ling forth losses, since 1910, cal
culitcd at more than $2-4,uuo,ouo,
or about 45 per cent of all the
Freach Investments in that coun
try. The natural conclusion drawn
from the facta stated was very
unfavorable to Mexicaa stability
aaU safety, and Mexican civiliza
tion in general.
Beyond Question the showing
mad® was very bad. It was dis
creditable to the Mexican natio
as well as to the Judgment of tnos>e
who put so much money into Mexi
co. In large measure the unfor
tunate French investors had been
the victims of conditons which
they did not create and could not
foresee. They had every right to
count upon better government and
more national common sense.
Hut what about the example
which Europe is setting Mexico
Can It be said that the fore
most countries of the continent
which assume to lead. tiie advance
of mankind are showing them
selves far superior to Latin-Ameri
ca ia the vital matter of safety
for life and property and the en
joyment of reasonable freedom to
follow ia comfort th$ vocations of
peace? Is there any such differ
ence as Europe has always as
serted*
Possibly the thoughtful and
right-minded people of Mexico and
other Latin-American countries
will look lees, henceforth, to Eu
rope for their model® in national
affairs and conduct and more to
the United States.
If independence is to be given
the Philippines, it should be given
some time when the keeping is

It took a whole German expedi
tion to get the name of Nairobi,
B. E. A., into print—and Colonel
Roosevelt once did It single

And no doubt the outcome of
the war, when it cornea, will also
be blamed on a decree of Divine
Providence.
The aeroplane is said to be play

A little participation on the part
of Senor Villa would have made
the Inauguration of Senor Carran

Absinthe prohibition Is highly
commended by Paris physicians—
so highly that it seems strange
they left it to war to bring about.
Nor do the dispatches say any of
the salvos fired at Senor carran

the American flag.
The country still waits for the
Washington chefs to serve an

The trouble with a decisive bat

MEXICO'S ROYAL GHOST.
Legend of the Rumbling Cave of Lac
Siervai Hot Springs.
The hot springs of Las Slervas, near
Valle de Cauizos, in a remote part of
the state of Guerrero, Mexico, have
been visited by few people from the
outside world, but they are famous in
the legends and history of the Indian
tribes of that part of the republic.
According to the natives, the waters
af the springs possess great medicinal
properties. In ancient times the
springs were the favorite bathing re
volt of the noble families of the Tepa
neca, Alcolhua and other tribes that
lived in that region.
On both sides of the chief spring
there are huge rocks with hieroglyph
ics and the figures of women beauti
fully carved. Judghig from the robes
worn by the women, their stately ap
pearance and the jewels around their
necks, the figures must represent prin
cesses or ladies of very high rank.
The spring is at the entrance to a
grotto that has never been explored.
From the grotto a rumbling sound re
sembling distant thunder is to be heard
all the time. According to natives, the
rumble is caused by the ghost of King
Excatuina, who ruled over that part of
the country three or four centuries be
fore the Spaniards discovered America.
King Exrainina, the tradition says,
was as bad as man could be. He mur
dered people merely for the pleasure of
seeing them die and committed every
crime. He had his palace constructed
In another cave, which communicated
with that of the spring by a tuunel.
There Excaiuiua. lu company with
some of his favorites, had orgies that
lasted weeks and months.
When he died an earthquake destroy
ed his palace. Since that day his ghost
has been haunting the cove near the
spring, and none of the natives has
ever dared go Into the cave.—New York

FI EXCHANGE
A New Back for an Old One. How
it Can bo Done- in Alaska.
The back aches at times with a
dull, indescribable feeling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are so
lame that to stoop is agony No use
to rub or apply a plaster to the
back if the kidneys are weak. You
cannot reach the cause. AlasKan
residents would do well to profit
by the following example.
John I. Conger, prop, printing
shop, 845 N. Seventeenth St., Salem,
Oregon, says: "My back got weak
and sore and my kidneys did not
act as they should. At times I
could hardly straighten. Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief and it
took them only a short time % to
ri<* mo of kidney trouble. I public
ly endorsed them several years ago
a-d am glad to do so again."
Priec BO c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—ge
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Conger had. Foater-Milburn Co.,
