MODERATION IS
A PROBABLE STEP
Fiery Fighting Republics of
Central America May Unite
Under One Man.
DIR. LUIS ANDERSON
BIG MAN in THE GAME
United States Will Net Favor
COnsummation of Plan, Is
Claim Made.

WASH1NGTON, Dec. 11.-Plans arc
afoot, it is believed for the consumma-
tion of confederation of the Central
American republics.
Proof OF this is offered 10 the minds
Of Central American diplomats here in
the sudden disappearance OF DR., Luis
Audersop~
Or. Anderson WAS here as special
representative. of Costa Rica, and WAS
the candidate of Mexico for president
of the proposed '' United States OF Cen
trail America.
Leaves at Sudden Call.
lie left on receipt of a telegram and
il was learned today that his dcstina-
an interview with Seuor Crccl, former
Mexican ambassador TO the United
States. and now here as a special envoy
of Mexico in the existing trouble in
Nicaragua.
Central American diplomats fear
there may he a conllagratlon while now
there is only blaze. In such case the
governments interested in the various
countries would interfere, with the re-
suit that chaos would cnsuc and new
organization would be necessary.
IT Is believed that Dr., Anderson hpr-
ried south in anticipation OF snch an
eventuality. He has The Endorsement
of Mexico the most powerful nesr
neigubor al Central America and holds
the confidence of ut lcgst two other
states on the isthmDs.
In the event that affairs reached a
crisis demanding consolidation, he
would be on the ground and ready TO
step into the breach.
Version OF Friends
Friends Of DR. Anderson insist that
he has gone 10 san Jose merely TO 1T,
tend meeting of the international So
ciety on Sanitation and TO visit bis
family This. others declare. Is a clever
bliud They maintain that Dr. Andcr.
son : plans were not changed until if
was learned that Zelaya s abdication
was inevitable. Then followed the hur-
ricd interview with Senior Crcel, aud
the journey.
The Mexican government is COM
mitted 10 the amalgamatiou Of the five
fiery little republics on the isthmus.
Scnor Enrique Groel has declared that
his government would like to see such
a consolidation, though qualifying the
declaration by saving that he did mot
believe the time ripe for such a trans
formation.
United States Attitude.
Although the United States has been
deliberately aud 5tudiously shying at
thc subject. il is understood that this
government would not entertain any
great enthusiasm over such a cousoli-
daiion. It would mean that Mexico
could exercise far greater influence
over such group and that the United
States would lose prestige The close
alliance of the Latin American race
would bring such a situation about,
The state department. disclaims all
knowledge of the movements Of DR..
Anderson or of his object in going TO
COSTA Rica.

W. {. T.. u. National Convention.

Omaha, Neb., extended a most
enthusiastic welcome to the hosts of
White Ribboners who poured into
her gates to hold what Miss Willard
loved to call their harvest home.
The city council had voted to spend
$500 in special illumination in honor
of the event. Electric arches bore
the word WELCOME in dazzling
brilliancy, with w. C. 7. U. above
it.
Mrs. Lillian M. Stevens, national
president of the w. C. T. u, in her
annual address said: inscribed on
the coat of arms of the great state,
Nebraska, we find the significant
word Progress and as concerns the
temperance question, her progress
is of interest to US all. The high IL
cense idea was born in Nebraska and
here the utter fallacy of such a
law as a temper rance measure has
been proved. Truly, progress has
been the watchword of the temper
ance march of our hostess state.
A brief review of Nebraska's tenn
perance gains includes the daylight
saloon bill lately enacted. a measure
regarded by the temperance people
as a little better than nothing and
by the liquor men as a great hard
ship, inasmuch as they can sell only
thirteen hours out of twenty-four,
namely from 7 a. m. to 8 q. m.
There are tWenty-six counties in
Nebraska where strong drink can
not be sold at any hour on any day
and twenty-five of these counties
have been won for prohibition in
the last two years. Forty-eight of
the county seats in Nebraska have
outlawed the saloon, and the state
capital city of Lincoln, now more
worthy of its honored name, stands
grandly among the thirteen other
state capitals which have voted out
the saloon. Best Of all, Nebraska is
to hold all that it has gained and add
thereto statewide prohibition, for
SO the temperance organizations of
the state have agreed and decreed.
Since we met in annual convention
on the mountain tops of Colorado,
victory after victory has been
achieved. To the state of T Tennessee
have come the saddest and the glad
dest days. The saddest day was
that in which a bullet pierced the
heart of her most gifted and gallant
son. Edward Ward Carmack; the

Think 1t Over.

Do you know that the population
in the United States doubles every
% years, and that land is getting
scarce, more so every day? Did you
ever stop and think what the prices
will be on land when the free land is
all gone?
Neverlin the history of the u. S.
was there such a rush for land as
there is at present. The Minnesota
lands at $50 per acre will pay for it
self in ten years of hard work with
good luck thrown in. The Florida
fruit and garden land pays for itself
with one crop and the valuation in
creases ten fold.
You do this, buy a farm in Florida
now, at the price Of S24O-S1O a
month, and get not less than 10 acres
and town lot, and you may get 20,
40, 80, 100, 800 or $40 acres for S240.

gladdest day was July 1. 1908. when
licensed saloons in Tennessee forever
closed at the stroke of twelve. The
usual alarm cry of ruin to business
interests was raised by the saloon
men, but the wisest men Of today
know how to reckon the profit and
loss connected with the liquor bust
ness.
"The prohibition states are giving
abundant evidence of the prosperity
that prohibition has brought to them.
The tax returns from one county in
Georgia show an increase for the
year of 81, 131 $3.50. Every other To-
cality that is out of liquor bondage
can make a similar report. Even
were it not so, it should be remem-
bered that there is value above all
money considerations. The Ken
tn cky w. c.. T. U. has entered upon
a straight out and out campaign
for statewide prohibition to close
the saloons, distilleries and brewer
les. Already IS out of 119 counties
in Kentucky and are entirely with
out saloons at least go per cent
of its people are living under prohi-
bition.
Governor Cromer of Alabama
made declaration at the w. C. T
u, which met in the city of Mont
gomery, that if the prohibitory law
then enacted did not prove strong
enough to stop the sale of liquor he
would call an extra session of the
legislature and have the law
strengthened. He called the extra
session and amen 1ments were adopt
ed which make it the most far-reach-
ing and stringent liquor law ever
enacted. The legislature also voted
in favor of constitutional prohibition
and they passed a most admirable
bill entitled AN Act to Educate the
the Children of Alabama on the
Evils of Intemperance.' 1t requires
that placards in large type shall be
placed in every public school upor
which shall be set forth in attractive
style statistics, epigrams and mot.
toes showing the evils of intemper
ance. 1t is made the duty of the
state superintendent to supply each
school with placards and to change
them occasionally, and the teacher
must keep the placards posted in thu
school room. One day in each schol
astic term is also set apart as Tenn
