The Appeal to Reason, the Socialist
party organ, contents itself by saying
that the Mcnamara brothers. were not
Socialists. Yet that paper aroused
sentiment in their favor by abusing
and vtllifying officers of the law and
all who aided in ferreting out their
hellish crime and brought them to
the bar of justice. The Appeal to Rea-
son is welcome to the solace it can
squeeze out of the part 1t took In ar
raging wrong against right in this
Mcnamara case.-Union Republican.

Galloway. Chief OF the Bureau of

the work.
AS an instance he cites the fact
that the average yield OF cotton on
demonstration farms was more than
s5 per cent greater than the average
yield OF the whole States. Even
this" he adds, does no. represen,
the full benefit Of the work, because
the cotton raised under demonstra-

percentage of lint than that grown
by ordinary methods"
Again. the average yield OF corn
on the demonstration farms, he points
out, showed an increase OF more than
80 per cent over the average produe-
ton under ordinary methods.
Cooperative administration. he
says brought about widespread inter-
est and greatly increased practice I'm
maintaining soil fertility by the use
of legumes, a greatly increased ten.

make cotton the cash crop: nearly
twice as large sales OF improved farm
machinery In the South during the

The most noteworthy feature of
the demonstration work In boil wee-

The Democratic House seized on
this fact to prepare and rush through
a resolution denouncing Russia and
demanding that the treaty with Rus
sia should be at once abrogated. The
language Of the resolution was so in
temperate that President Taft has
sent message to the Senate asking
that. the resolution of the Houso
should be amended and couched in
proper and dignified language This
the Senate has done.
The Report of the Tariff Board.
The President will on tomorrow
send to Congress the report Of the
Tariff Board showing the difference
in the cost of labor and production
in the wool industry in this country
and in foreign countries where wages
and the plane of living are lower than
here, and will ask Congress to lower
the tariff on wool and woolen goods
in accordance with the facts officially
gathered. The country will watch
to see how the Democratic House
acts on these official facts.
President Makes Recommendations.
The President sent to Congress the
report of the Tariff Board on Seized
ule K of the tariff bill and with it a
message recommending that the rates
on wool and woolens be reduced. The
report shows that the existing duties
on the fine qualities of wool and
wooden goods are in excess of the
cost of production here and abroad.
The President calls attention to these
points urging that the revision of the
schedule be proceeded with at once.
He praises the report of the Tariff
Board and says it is complete and
exhaustive report, and points out
that the report of the Board is unani-
nous. The President does not recon-
mend any definite rates Of duty, but
recommends that the proposed re-
vision adhere to the policy of protec-
ton based upon the difference in cost
of production at home and abroad.

The Man From Mexico Gets There on Snow Shoes, Travelling Over Snow
 Twenty to Fifty Feet Deep.
Ed Edwardsburg, Idaho,

To HE OASIS.
 arrived here two weeks ago af- ter ninety mile trip afoot, over two mountain ranges and in snow from one foot to fifty feet deep, thirty miles of which distance 1 travelled on snow shoes. How is that for man who has lived nine years in sunny Mexico? l came all the way from Meadows, on the railway, with four different mail carriers. Some of the carriers car ried the sacks on toboggans drawn by six large St. Bernard dogs. Another used a horse which pulled the mail on a 10 foot runner, The horse wore snow shoes and travel led twelve miles over snow from ten to twenty feet in depth. We made two miles an hour. 1 can hear yet the mail carriers urging on their dogs with the cry: "Mush on, you brave dogs, mush on." The dogs are wonderful in their strength and intelligence. For two days we could not see the sign of a trail, but Jack, the leader dog, would put his nose into the snow and go on without hesitating in the least. 1 walked, rolled and widowed in snow for six days, making ninety miles. And eatl ate everything in sight except what they kept for the dogs.
 am busy erecting a 40 ton plant consistingof Tremaine stea m mills, concentrating tables, cyanide tanks, etc. have also to look after large mine which looks very promising. In here we have no snow, but the mountains above are all white with the "feecy." And there are pine trees that are 300 feet tall, two to three feet in diameter. l have charge also of a sawmill.
 This is one of the widest and richest virgin mineral regions left unexplored in the United States.
 l have just received a letter from Cumaripa which states thai there were there 400 Yaquis who had taken all my wheat, water melons, tomatoes, cabbages, corr elc., and my mules. although they did not molest my wife and baby They slaughtered 102 beeves anC made great feast in the plaza front of the church. There are only seven families left in Cuma- ripa. l am very greatly worried as l have had no letter from my wife in fourteen days.

AN HISTORICAL CoRRECTIoN-
Resdsr of "The Oasis" Presents sA Few Facts With Regard to Military
 and Naval Authority.
UREs, Mexico, May 10, l91r.

hES, meAICO, Mdy IU, ISA Ee- To THE OAsIs:-
 have noticed that your histOv6- cal statements are accurate usually. and therefore l was surprised some- what to notice in your editoTiaE comment on the article you repro duced from the Albuquerque Jour- nal that you failed to nole the bn- accuracies of statement contained in that article. In the first place the Journal contrasts the action Of Captain Vivian of the British gnn- boat Shearwater with that of GeneE. al Carter, U. 5. A. Does the writer not know that the commander oi g. warship has rights of action MUk possessed by commander of lam6 forces? At any time a warship.~ enters a foreign port it places an, armed force upon foreign territory, the line being well out from the shore line; and this happens every day Tn every part of the world. Similar action by a land foTCs would constitute an act of WAT. Furthermore, in time of dire Aeees- sity, every commander oian AmeE- ican warship is authorized to laDGy forces to protect the lives and pF0p~ erty of American citizens in s. foreign land and this has been done in every part of the Worlds sometimes at the request of tho American consul, sometimes On the initiative of the officer in command, and without communicating wit h, the powers that be in WasbiNgt~M.
 And now a brief word regal ding the Journals statement aboNS ,he
 battle of Manila. Upon the etwensy-
 first of April, 1898, Commodore
 Dewey received by cable from
 Washington orders to attacks tho squadron of Admiral Montin,. aes-
 troy it, and hold Manila if possible.
 Those orders were sent by Theodore l Roosevelt, then assistant seeresas P
 of the navy. Dewey did not saiEs until ordered out of pors b9 the
 authorities, to avoid violation of the law of neutrality. two days T later, Dewey obeyed his orders to the letter. When he arrived st
 Manila there was neither a BrRishs
 nor German fleet in the harbCr.
 Those fleets arrived some days,
 afterward. Dewey's dispute with Admiral Von Diedrichs was oeea-- stoned by the insistence Os ,he. American commander upon lhe.
 right of blockade: the right to stop. , and investigate not only mercha ns- men but war vessels. Upon thaG occasion Dewey had at least lhe- moral support of the British a1- miral, with a promise of physRali support if necessary.
