Where's That Cheap Fuel?

Two years ago congress removed
the tax from industrial alcohol. One
year ago it SO far removed other re-
strictions that the farmer could man
ufacture alcohol in his own backyard
without maintaining federal inspeo-
tor on the premises. Spurred BY
this doubled generosity, tie IO,4SS.-
2l7 persons engaged in agricultural
pursuits have, among them, set mp
exactly ten stills. This is in approx
mately the ratio Of one to the million.
In Germany there is still to every
$50 farmers and farm workers. Vari-
GUS explanations are given Of the
fiasco. Some say we need new pat
terms Of lamps and stoves, some that
we need more thrift, some that we
need a tariff, though how tariff can
defend the farmer against the comPe-
tltion Of native petroleum. Is another
matter. Farmers are not the readiest
people in the world to avail them
selves Of such brand-new opportunities
as this, and ii may be that u the dar-
ing ten are successful, ten thousand
will follow their lead next year. Even
II they do not, it is no argument
against the wisdom of removing need
less restrictions from an important
industry.

II is an invasion of the grief OF the

blow at party concord. it is the act of
shameless hypcrite. Nor was ever

sacrifices for predatory wealth. Judge
Parker showed lis recompense in

have received a number of kilograms
today of a most encouraging nature.
he said, "one comes from members

Don't give up the fight; II is impos-

bers of the Pennsylvania, Illinois,

If Mr. Bryan is not nominated on the !
first ballot. which win not happen. hts
defeat is certain"
Gray Men Also Hopeful.
Judge Gray's friends also contend !
that Bryan's nomination on the first

the nomination is as likely to go to !

WILL ASK THAT TEXAS
OFFICERS BE PUNISHED

City of Mexico, July 2.-MeXico will
ask the United States to punish severe
" the local authorities of Del Rio.
Texas. and possibly others of the state
under whose authority they acted. The
grounds will be that the officers
knowingly failed in their duty by al
lowing persons who partook in the Las
VEGAS raid, to ride on to tha Texas
side of the river uninterrupted and to
Dring with them their wounded. Pun
ishment may also be asked for the au-
thorities and police of Del Rio for al
lowing meetings to be held there for
the purpose of fomenting and plan
ming raids, murder and robbery in
Mexico.
The latter request. however, Will be
contigent upon Investigations not yet
completed which have for their pur-
pose the ascertaining of the amount
OF knowledge which the police of Del
Rio had of the meetings.
This phase of the International side
OF the trouble on the northern Mexi-
can border was made known today by
Minister Marscal of the foreign rela-
tions department.
Bad faith toward Mexico by the
state of Texas in the recent trouble
is very strongly suspected by the
Mexican government.
'sThe action of Washington has been
the very best" said Minister Mariscal
today. Not only has the United States
government shown itself willing and
eager to assist Mexico, but il took
quick steps TO move troops to the bor-
der. evincing feeling of friendliness
which cannot be questioned, hut ad-
