NOT AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR.
Vnclc Samuel is not likely to sen 1
any troop.* across the borders to Can-
anea. Mexico to protect the Americans
Mid to be in danger there. Those dif-
fienltfcs are labor troubles and arc
largely such as are incident to large
bodies of laborers of different national-
ities being employed in the one place.
The moat authentic Information from
the point of disturbance leads to the
belief that strike conditions are re-
enon.'lble for the trouble which has
assumed the proportions of a rac«
riot but to what extent this conflict
between Am< r.cans and Mexicans has
been carried is not nscertalnr.ble for
reports arc very conflicting. That
Americans troops are on the American
side of the herder ready to cross upon
the orders of the president is no doubt
true but that taev have been ordered
to cross or will be so ordered is most
unlikely. The sensational reports of
scores of Americans killed are not com
firmed. and there is no positive evi-
denc< that more than five or six
Americans have gone to bod with their
boots on. To cross the line with
American troops might lead to a seri-
bus national complication for Mexico
would justly resent such action par-
ticularly as she has already given out
that she needs no foreign assistance
in maintaining peace in her own terri-
tory. That the American government
will take an? steps likely to be con-
strurd into «n aet of unfriendliness on
the part of Mexico is not a reasonable
expectation The relations of the two
governments are too cordial for that
conclusion to be accepted. When the
natter is all settled and quiet reigns
there it will be seen that comparative-
ly little American life has been sacri-
ficed and that the affair was not of
sufficient imi>ortance to give it inter-
national character.
This city enters upon the first
week in .June with better business do-
ing than any of the Junes of the past
have witnessed.
Galveston goes on the even tenor
of her way. piling up the clean wnlte
sand on th. unsightliness of the lots
out of which the houses have been
raised to grade in the filling opera-
tions. and covreing not only the un-
sightliness but the debris and prepar-
ing the way for the cleanest town
that ever sat on the sands of the
Great Southern Gulf. Galveston is
making good slowly but she is malt-
ing good and in a few year? will be
al! the better for being so nearly de-
stroyed between the winds and the
waters. There is enough left to make
a big seaport.
The gentleman who are out for of-
fice arc beginning to announce them-
selves. and the election will tell the
tale of who is the favorite in the pri-
maries.
To be or not to be that is the ques-
tion among the rotton growers who
are waiting the movements of Mr.
Weevil and wondering at what stage
of the crop if any he is going to
put in an appearance. Goodly sections
of the country report a splendid pros-
pect for the crop and no sign of the
boll weevil yet. while in other sec-
tions the advance guard has put in an
appearance. The probability is that
the crop will suffer less from the
pest this year than last.
In th; city election there is no poli-
tics and so little in the county that
there i: no use in banking on it. What
is needed is measures and men who
will carry out these measures.
The final act in that bomb throwing
attempt cn the life of Alphonso ends
with the capture of the miscreant his
(hooting dead the guard who captured
alm and his own suicide when he
found capture Inevitable Thus end-
?th the first chapter will there be
mother atempt? Alphonso thinks
'.hat there will be. He has grit and
to has Ena. but it is tough on a young
carried couple
AN INCREASING LIGHT
It Is not the prolvnce of the news-
paper to knock neither is It necessary
to knock it for every little thing that
docs not accord with Individual opin-
ion. The province of the newspaper
is to give news; to free Itself from
dirty personalisms to give the news;
to stand for the progress and decency
of the city to give the news; to tell
the truth to give the news; to freely
foster aft movements tor the public
benefit to give the news- to be de-
ent to give the news; to give all the
to give It In a tearfable and
attractive form to give it impartially
uud with such regard to a public
•enae of what Is proper ax will not
affcad a reasonably good taste. This
is wAt The Light is doing every
day in the week every week In the
year and in doing it has the cordial
support of the people etfd city of San
Antonio. There a:e those whose love
of sensationalism leads them to ap-
prove and patronite the Indecent. For
the countenance and support of this
class of community The Light is not
a candidate. To give the news all
the news suppressing no material
facts yet not giving prominence to
the vulgar or obscene side of things
and not obtruding personalities that
are uncalled for or offensive but giv-
ing to the readers of The Light a
daily view of things as’they happen
in this city and in the state and be-
yond its borders in so truthful a man-
ner as to command the acceptance of
them as truth with such editorial
comment on these as seems wisest
and best to the editor —this is the
one aim of The Light. That it shares
the common imperfections of all hu-
man institutions it very well knows
but that it is earnestly trying to meet
high demands of a real news-
paper and meet it seven days of the
week is not only well known in this
city but that knowledge has given it
a hold or. the business and brains of
this city that is growing stronger ev-
ery month of its existence. To de-
serve In increasing measure that con.
fldence is just what The Light is hus-
tling for and it is delivering the
goods.
Monta J. Moore retires as gracefully
as he can from the gubernatorial con-
test in which he sees himself foreor-
dained to defeat his principal plat-
form plank being the creation of a cor-
poration smashing commission to be
provided for in an amended state con-
stitution There is no more use for
such a commission in this state than
ther is for the overwhelming demo-
cratic majority which prevents the
needed reforms In the government of
this state. There Is enough corpora
tion killing machinery in use in Texas
now to curse business for a genera-
tion. and it would seem from Monta’s
action that the state Is growing tirod
of that condition.
That tempest In a teanot down at
Cananea has blown itself out. and the
sensational papers that padded the re-
ports and announced that 40 Ameri-
cans were killed can now fill space
by denying their own reports. Con-
sul Galbraith seems to have been rat-
tled in representing matters at Wash-
ington. and his lack of good Judgment
was followed by the sensational press.
It was a strike in the first place and
the situation was intensified by the
race feeling between the Americans
and the Mexicans which finally led
to a conflict between them. The lat-
est reports are that six Americans
were killed and thirty-five Mexicans
The anti-trust cases at Fort Worth
will be fought by the packers on the
ground of misjoinder that is the Join-
ing. of causes or parties in a suit of
iaw that should not be so joined. If
this objection is overruled then the
packers will fall back on the uncon-
stitutionallty of the law a plea which
in Texas seldom fails to win out. The
Texas constitution is more feeble than
that of the habitue of Carlsbad or the
Hot Springs Arkansas.
MORE REPUBLICAN FOOLISHNESS
There are a few republicans in
Texas outside of the professional of-
ficeholders and office seekers who are
I Interested in the fight between Lyon
i and Green for the leadership of the
party in Tekas. but their name Is not
legion. This fight has been carried
on to the disadvantage of republican
i influence and effort in this state long
; enough and it is time that the party
I stepped upon both leaders hard and
' put them down and out. Not that
| they are not loyal republicans but
because they are dividing the party
feeding and keeping alive a factional
i feeling and preventing any concerted
effort in the state for the increase
of republican strength in Texas.
These are sufficient reasons without
going any further. What under the
canopy is the use of even thinking
of putting out a state ticket when
weak as the party is through its own
I inaction in the i>ast and the stigma
: that rests upon it in Texas as an of-
fice-seeking trust it is faced on the
1 eve of the opening of the state cam-
*— ‘ —— - - - ——
pelgn with a factional fight for the
leadership? Lyon and Green have
both been in charge of the affairs of
the state republican party and what
have either of them d<me to Increase
the numbers of the voters at the (tolls
the carrying of any of the legislative
or congressional or senatorial or judi-
cial districts or the strengthening of
the republican forces in any way?
Galveston has about made good as to
her population. That is. she has re-
covered the losses of the groat flood
of 19o0 and Is able to show about the
seme population now as just before
that awful destruction fell upon the
city. This is evidenced in the cen-
sus of children of school age Just re-
turned. which places the city almost
in the same population column that
she was six years ago.
If there Is any real reason why the
meats of the American packers should
not be subject to the same inspections
for American consumers as for Euro-
pean customers that reason has not
been evoked in any consideration in-
vestigation or discussion on the mat-
ter. The I’nited States' stomach
needs as wholesome food as that of
the European and don't you forget it
1EXAS PRESS PICKINGS
New Orleans Harlequin: It has re-
mained tor a little afternoon news-
]>aper to exploit a scandal in its na-
ture oi such a character that no news-
paper could overlook it. and a scandal
overlooked by every other paper in
this city. Truly these newspapers ap-
pear to believe that they have the
l>ower to make and unmake all news.
They have no consciousness' of any
implied control with every one of
their subscribers. The reason for the
concealment of this last scandal seems
to be much the same as that which in-
duced them to conceal another piece
of news not so very long ago—count-
ing room reason.
What is a newspaper? Is it a gos-
sip sheet a scandal scatterer a pub-
lisher of private affairs a busybody
in other men-and-women's matters or
is it n paper that prints the proceed-
ings of all (fublic bodies all public oc-
cutrences local state or national cur-
rent events items of public interest
with the usual trade and market and
court ana other reports suppressing
for the sake of decency and a proper
regard for the proprieties as much of
the salacious as possible? The news-
’ paper and the yellow journal are not
members of the same family. One is
I a legitimate disseminator of what it is
rhe business of the public to know.
' The other is the Invader of private
life and should be outlawed by a re-
spectable public. The dally paper of
today wants a good deal of yellow
taken out of it. No respectable news-
paper contracts with its readers to
promulgate scandals.

Cuero Record: A writer In the
Yoakum Times makes the plain state-
ment that the existence of Yoakum
Is due to Cuero’s mistakes. Cuero
: does not need to make any more such
mistakes and needs the Texas rail-
way. Anyway Yoakum has two good
newspapers and does not need a Cuero
champion.
Cuero is not blind to the causes that
have conspired to place so formidable
j a rival as Yoakum on her right flank
and wisely concludes that she had bet-
ter place herself in the path of pro-
gress. Those two cities will both
build more rapidly by uniting in every
effort that is feasible for increased
means of communication rather than
by rivalries that cat out the heart
of united endeavor.
• • •
Cuero Record: It will not he long
until something will be making a
noise like a gasoline motor car in the
country between Yoakum and Vic-
toria.
That motor car will be a great thing
for the country through which ft pass
; es. and that is one of rhe richest tn
the whole land of the Ixine Star. Be-
I tween rural free delivery for malls
and the trolley and the gasoline motor
the farmers all over the United States
are getting Into close touch with their
market cities. In the truck farming
sections especially this counts for a
i whole lot.

Houston Post: The Post's position
is and always has been that the gover-
nor should perform every obligation
which the constitution Imposes upon
him. The Post is not an advocate of
lawlessness in the least degree. It
has on other occasions expressed the
opinion that matters of mere
police regulation might be better
transferred by the legislature to local
lawmaking bodies but it has never ad-
vocated a disregard of law and if
Judge Brooks has raised such an is-
sue with the Post as Judge Finley
asserts he has done so without war-
rant and has been guilty of additional
injustice.
This utterance of the Post is called
out by a platform statement of Judge
Brooks to the effect that the Post
considered it not the province of the
governor to concern himself over the
Sunday and gambling laws of the
state. To this the Post replies effec-
tively. and there are others who thing
that the police regulations rather be-
long to the municipality than to the
state legislature. So long as the laws
are there obey them. Wisdom says
put as few laws on the statute book
as possibly

40 GUARDS FIGHT
400 STRIKERS
FIFTEEN OF FORMER SHOT IN
BATTLE WITH MINERS AT
PLUM RUN OHIO.
STRIKERS ANGRY WITH LEADERS
Their Benefits Have Not Been Paid.
They Leave Meetings With
Bitter Feelings.
Associated Press.
Cleveland O. June 4.—A special to
the Leader from Steubenville Ohio
says:
Fifteen guards were shot about mid-
night last night In a f.ght at the Plum
Run mine between 40 guards and 400
coal mine strikers. It is not known
how many of the guards were killed.
The guards who were not wounded
in the fight are in the mine ana are
afraid to come out to remove or attend
to those who were shot.
Sheriff Voorhis. of Jefferson county
is tn communication wit(j the state
house and may persuade Governor
Patterson to call out the militia to
prevent further bloodshed.
H. E. Willard general manager and
secretary of the United States Coal
company which owns and operates
the Plum Run mine has been commu-
nicated with at his home in Cleve-
land.
The miners as usual held numer-
ous meetings throughout tne county
yesterday and most of these were
stormy the leaders urging the men to
remain firm. The latter have been in
an angry mood for a week because
their strike benefits have not been
paid. As a result they (eft these meet-
ings. with a bitter feeling against the
strike breakers and the guards.
