Intervention tif the United States ( iuvcrmiKMit to secure justice, ur at least a fair trial for fallen Pres ident Madero of Mexico, as an nounced by Secretary Knox at the Cabinet meeting today, was an unexpected development of the State Department's policy in regard to that Republic. As re cently as yesterday it was an nounced that there was no inten tion to depart from the policy of non-intervention in the Mexican troubles. It appears, however that this statement, was based upon the natural assumption that the new established .Mexican (lovernmelit would observe the amenities of civilized warfare in its treatment of prisoners of either high or low degree and when the killing of (lustavo .Madero was ground for ctuiine apprehension for the fate of the ex-President, it was felt that the lime had come to stretch forth a restraining band. Must Protect Madero. The Administration feels that it lias not in any manner depart ed from its policy of strict neu trality. Its action was purely impersonal anil probably would have followed as surely had Ccneral Diaz been captured by Madero and threatened with death without the process of law. The fact is, though 'not official!' admitted, that in an unofficial manner the State Department did Jring to -hear, influences vvhicfli saved Diaz from death when he was captured by (leneral lieltran at Vera Cruz last Fall. It is be lieved that the Mexican people themselves, after the heat of coin- Mat is over will be the "first to ex press gratitude to the I'nited States ( Jo -eminent for prevent ing the placing of such a spot 011 the reputation of their country, as would follow what practically would amount to the murder of a deposed President. It is recalled in some piarter: that the action of the Adiuinis tration in the case of Madero i precisely the revX-rsc of that tak en 4 years iigo when President Andrew Johnson refused to in tervene to prevent the shooting of the unfortuante Emperor Max imilian, who was hv a singular coincidence betrayed by the mil itary leader. (leneral Lopez, who was his main reliance. . In that case, however, it is pointed out that Maximilian was in Mexico greatlv against the will of the United States and also that he was tried by a legal tribunal in the form of a court martial. While it is hoped that the Iluerta (iovernment will be able to draw to its support all of the revolutionary leaders of the' North and the South, the Administra tion continues under the military and naval-policy of preparedness Pursuant to this, the First and Fifth ISrigades of the Army re main 'under nreparatory orders for foreign service and the three Army transports, which are due to arrive at (lalveston early next week, w ill be retained there ready to embark troops at ii moment's notice. Communication Mr. Editor: I received a few days agiva let ter from a friend,, who is a pas tor in one of our southern towns, telling me that they have there a Mat's Union Prayer Meeting which meets every Sunday after noon, and he says its influence for good is very great. Feeling as 1 do a deep interest in every thing that relates . to the real prosperity and best interest of our city I venture to suggest to our, christian men that they ar- range for such a prayer meeting of here. Since I became a resident of High P"'t 1 lluvt' observed with much gratification the pub- lie snirit of its citizens. Their interest in the general welfare of the i.conlc. their faith in the fu ture ..rowth of the citv and their readiness to cooperate in every commendable enterprise and un dertaking awakens my sincere admiration. From a business st.-mdnoint we have much to en- cotiagc the hope that High Point h.is a bright future. Put we all know that the morality and re ligion of its people constitutes the t'niin.iilt ion of a coniinunit v's real uc.-iltb : ml nroslientv. So I take it for granted that all w ho really love their town and want to pro mote its welfare are interested in everything that will strength en and develop the religious life of the citizens. I am confident that a men's union prayer meet ing w ill le a potent factor for this purpose. Such an institution would exert a splendid inllueuce and produce many happy ei'le.t-. direct and indirect. All our bless ings a a city have come and must come from Cod. and I am sine it wt'iild be pleasing to him ii "iir I n-iiK'ss men would thus recog nize it mid meet regularlv to praise him for what he has done and is doing and to ask him for future favors and blessings. Their thanksgiving he would receive and their petitions he would hear and answer. For christian citi zens to come together once a week for this purpose would as an object lessoit hav e a very ben eficial effect n t o" i''e commun ity at large, elevating Us stand ards ami ennobling ils ideals. In this intensely commercial age such influences are becoming more and more necessary. There is something heller and far more important than 111 nev making md n, .nev spending, bin men need to be reminded of it. Spirit ual things have 111.ro to do with our happiness and real we! fan than material things, our soiiF 1 , nave claims upon us as well as our bodies, and our relations and obligations to Cod are as real and far more vital than our rela tions and obligations to our fel low men; but is there out danger, great danger that men will forget all this; If they do forget, if they become absorbed with temporal and material things and oblivious to spiritual things their life here suffers immensely and at the end they will sec that they have miss ed the true end of life ami lost all. Since this is true gentlemen, would it it not be well for you to come together regularly once a week for prayer. Wotih not a union prayer meeting mean more to the real prosperity and welfare of our citv than anv club or other organization. however tiselui these may be? I trust my suggestion may commend itself to the judgment of the christian men of our citv, and that some will be prompted to lead in the . movement to or ganize such a prayer meeting. -11 might be well for others t ex press themselves in the "-Enterprise as 1 have done. .You. Mr. Editor,, would. 1 am usrc, grant this privilege for you are always ready to assist in everything con nected 'with the best interests of High Point, and have contribut ed much to its growth and de velopment. Very respectfully yours, V. C. Tyree. Wanted Every " member of Washington Street Methodist church present at the service to morrow morning. One guess at the premium with the purchase of any style shoes. The Debate In the triangular debate con cerning a suffrage amendment to our state constitution that wom en should vote, our high school bovs both won and lost. The two bovs from Keidsville. C. F. I'.rewer and Charles P.ennet, u represented the negative side against Marvin York and Clenn Muse, our boys, who upheld the affirmative, were defeated last niyht in the Auditorium, where quite a goodly number of citi zens were gathered to hear and enjoy the oratorical contest. Dr. Dred Peacock, J. Klwontl Cox, and C. C. P.arnhardt acted as judges and in a separate and in dividual vote cast they decided unanimously in favor of the aflir - Illative. Hon. YY. P. Kairail lire- sided in his inimical ami graceful manner. Although, the bovs on both sides displayed marvellour talent for simply high school pu pil, and incidentally we might add that there is no surer wav of Dotnilarizmg woman s nil rage than such debates, and seemius Iv it is only a question oi time welin all the women of all the states will have this privilege. We are sorry to add that tlu' two of our boys, Koiia Proctor and Sidncv Perrv, who went over to Winston-Salem to engage the bovs there last night, lost the con- lesl. the Winston-Salem bovs winning over them unaniinouslv. We hope our boys wil' take cour age. They deserve great credit. We notice from this morning's iianers that some high schools in the state larger than High Point lost both sides of the question last night. So we sav. hurrah for our uigii sciiooi imivs : Death of Mrs. Milton Mrs. Milton, wife of Col. D II. Milton, died at her home here about ' o'clock. A more extend ed account will be given in Mon day's taier. The burial will be here probably Monday. The sym pathy ol the entire community goes out to Col. Milton and fam ily in the sad bereavement. o REV. A. S. CALDWELL RESIGNS Rev. A. S. Caldwell, pastor of the F'irst Presbyterian church, has tendered his resignation to take effect April 1st.

The management of Roland Park regrets that the proposition could not have been held open sixty days but they will posi-1 tiveiv adhere to their advetrise-1 incut in the Enterprise, closingl the club Monday night. 1 V striking feature of this ex-1 ceptional successful lot sale is the high standard of advertising done, Not a circular or banner was ever. displayed the only ad-1 vertising medium being the Daily I Enterprise.
