-a gAGE EVENING TELEGRAPH BY TELEGRAPH PRINTING CO. Entered second clawi matter nl the poftt office nt Alton, 111., under the net of Congress, March 3, SATURDAY, JULY 1. With Mexico Almost Ortflln. That war with Mexico can not ibc avoided genms certain. Only rom- plete buck down by the I'nltnd Ftntes, II flppparn, will flnvo this (Otintry from drawn Into hostilities, but If wnr Is started, It should not bo (ialntl us of thfi tlmo that It may bo declared.

Wflr him re.nlly'benn going on for some time between (he. 1'nitcd States and Mexico. It became war when the United Invaded that country under thn pretext of chasing bandits. It (leve.lopeH now that the Mexicans will Insist thoy never gave ponnlsslon for thn troops to outer, therefore thi? entry constituted an Invasion. The shooting of American recently nt Oarriza' was really the first battle, nnd It will bo followed by many more, If the United Mates stands firm In Ha present attitude.

The Democratic campaign is to lie deprived of the slogan of "Wilson Kept the Country Out of War." The Mexicans, according to Mexican newspapers, have a contempt for President Wlldon. They do not believe that he Is doing anything but playing po'ltlcs. and they do not believe that he will wage war on them. Some expressions of opinion of that kind In Mexican papers probably around' President Wi'son to imiKu a speech 'Friday night at New York when he declared he would go to war when all other means of adjusting had failed. A HlRn of ibfl Times.

As an indication of where the fight on liquor Is going, all the candidates for the Republican 'nomination for Governor in Illinois have gone on re- ford In their Breeches and their platform utterances as being In favor of no Interfernce with any program the antl-sa'oon pnoplei In Illinois may have In mind for the extension of dry rule. The attitude of Walter O. Lowden is typical of what Is being done In that direction. Mr. has declared that he would not, If elected governor of Illinois, exert the Influence one way or the other in anti-liquor legislation and he declares If the legis'ature decided to pass a county option law he will not use any Influence either with members of the Legislature or with any committees of that body, for or against it and.

that If such a bill Is passed, Legislature he will sign the courity option law. A few years ago such a statement made by candidate for Governor would have precipitated on nlm a torrent, of and opposition that OLLOWING IS A LIST OF TEACHERS.

President of thn mi ted Rfaton down to tho ladips, was mad P. the sulijpct of forvpnt 'eulogy. Tho old spopclips worn vp.ry spread p.aglc Hffali-R.

Our political syHtotn was glorlflnd ns the consum- mBtp flowor of wisdom, while Kurope was passed ovo-r with contonipt as stccpp.d In Ignorance.

Discriminating people to tlilnk tlipso bumptious, for a young nation whose political Ideas were still experimental. But when one tlilnks how the Kuropnan System of govnrnmpnt has broken down, how unfit for modern civlllza- on govcrnmRiH by kings has proved. as if our former vilage ora- ors had the right of It otter all. The rule of kings Is an anachron- sm. Inevitably sooner or later It to war.

The common people by the glitter of royalty, give lives and treasure, while ings make no such personal sacrl- ce. Where democracy rules, war ever starts. The Fathers right after all In leir eulogy 1 of American Ideals. Vhntp.vpr faults our political system is. at least established a govern- cnt In which the man who suffers IB most from war has some say bout the fighting.

liquor Interests regard It as a matter of course and they are not raising any opposition that la apparent to the candidates who are pledging a policy of none-lnterference with the will of TABLOID TALES AND LITTLE LOCALS. According to P. S. Snedoker tho iiedeker'Brothers' apple orchard, cated In Macoupln county near lalnvlew will produce twenty-five er cent more apples this year than Bt. He expects a crop of from 12 i lii thousand barrels.

The last ail did some damage, probably 400 arrels. A total of 8,300 barrels as produced last 'year. Ben Davis arlety is grown prlclpally. The Snedeker farm Is located on a ertile plateau of 20,000 acres and he water drains four ways. Only 0 acres of wheat were sown this ear due to fear of-the Hcsulan fly hlle acres having been sown good results last season.

Dr. nedoker says the price of apples be Influenced by tho war as Germany at normal times takes two million Repub- can. Grant Cunningham, of south of Hardln, -captured -14 ground hogs ast, week. ma.k.lng^h.e^jias,.caught Another significant feature Is that the same candidate has declared himself In favor of extension of woman suffrage to glvn womnn the right to vote for all officers In the state of Illinois. The liquor Interests In the state of Illinois scorn to be up against tho proposition of winning any fights they mny have to win In tho Legislature and they wl'l find no arbitrary governor In the chair, no matter who Is elected, to veto legislation Intend ed to extend the dry rule.
