war. And in Cuba we INTERVIEWED
to help people struggling for
their liberties. We did not use our
ships and army to Uphold the
tyranny OF Spain.
Yet we are told by the President
OF the United States that "the Mex
lean insurrection wiz be stamped
out" ut any cost. Since when has
the government taken sides against
an oppnesed people struggling for
liberty?
Did President Taft's affab:e hob
nobbing with President Diaz last
autumn open a new chapter in
American history What is the
reason for this unauthorized de-
claration of war against the strug-
Cling Mexican people and This I'M
warranted and Mnaccountab1e use
OF the military establishment Of our
republic against a peaceful neigh
bort
Is it because Henry w. Taft,
brother OF the President, is a direc-
tor in the Pierson and Son, an Eng
lish corporation-the largest single
financial interest in Mexico.
Ii it because ]. P. Morgan 4 Co.,
or Kuhn, Loeb & Co., or Speyer
& Co., are the fiscal agents for the
bonds issued by the Diaz govern
ment, and heavy holders bf secur-
titles and concessions obtained from
the dictator Diaz7
Is it because Attorney General
Wickeraham was until lately q di-
rector in the American-Hawaiian
company, the corporation holding
contracts for the transportation of
raw sugar from Hawaii via the
Teheuntepec railway, one OF the
properties OF the Pierson company?
Is it to he found in any former

Taft and Attorney General Wick

WHY WAR?

What reason has he for making
a warike demonstration which is
sounding an alarm in every quarter
OF the world7 What canon OF in
ternational law can be invoked to
justly rushing formidable army,
equipped for battle, to the very
boundary line OF country at peace
with our government? What pre-
cedent OF intervention can he offer
as an excuse for meddiing in the
internal affairs Of Mexico at this
timer Can he forecast the COM
plications with foreign powers
which may resutP
Congress should require the Pres
ident to give a strict accounting OF
this extraordinary use OF the army
and navy.
The whole affair seems incred-
ible. It is unprecedented. In a
time OF profound peace the Prea-
dent hurts the army and the navy

A quarter OF the standing army is
put in the field with equipment,
ammunition and supplies as for
active war. The start was made

The constitution vests in the Con-

Never in our history have We

Our troubles with Spain are fresh

hauasted every resource OF states

intervention. Their wisdom and

iNSURGENT AT BRIDGE.
HE MAKES THE TRUMP SPADES
 WITH POWERFUL HAND.
Then Tells the Mortified Assemblage What He Really Thinks of the Game, and Departs to
 Play Poker.

What! You make it spades on the original lead, and with a hand like that!"
 Yes" he replied, q made it spades because l didn't know what else to do. But as long as you have mentioned the matter, l may as well tell you that I don't know thing about this game, and. what is more, I don't care. I was asked here tonight to fill in, and be- cause it was assumed that if l didn't know I would probably lose my money. l am aware that by thus stopping in the middle of game 1 am breaking it up and am guilty of rudeness. But don't care a hang. l am glad of it, consider the game of bridge a pure waste of time and the people who spend their time in playing it not worthy of any consideration what ever."
 At this point he was suddenly inter- rupted by his wife, young and beau tiful woman, who had been sitting at the next table and who threw her arms about him in passion of sobs.
 ilN44i1s oIlt SACltltl4ltQ ClCp- beg of you. He doesn't mean it." she went on to the others-who had all stopped playing. He is not well. It is only passing delusion. He is tired. He has been working so hard. Say that you do not mean it!" she whispered, looking up at him anxious ly.
 In reply her husband looked stern ly around him.
 q am resolved" he said, that for once in my life I will tell the truth and be honest with myself Bridge playing, in my opinion, is a senseless occupation. It is pursued by those people who are not intelligent enough to find legitimate things to oecupy their minds, and who, possessed with a repulsiye greed, enjoy themselves by entertaining the hope that they may be able to win money from those whom they are pleased to call their friends. With these few remarks l will leave you to your own devices" ;"
 "Henri." muttered the young wife, still clinging to him, this is terrible. l am afraid for you. Where are you going?"
 And he smiled back bravely, while the others, too intent to be further in terrupted by one whom they already considered a madman, resumed their seats.
 Have no fear, darling" he said. T am going down to the club to play poker with the boys-where I have a chance for my money"-Life.

Country With onlx One Bank

There are no public banking insti. tutions in the Dominican Republic. and but one private bank with agen- cles in the more important towns which buys and sells drafts makes loans, and is the repository of the government funds.
 Buying and selling drafts is an i'm portant source of revenue to this bank and also to many private indi- viduals.
 Money is easily placed at almost any time at 112 per cent. a month, and sometimes at and 21a per cent. with 1irst-class real estate or personal security. Longtime loans of large amounts are placed at 12 per cent. per annum. Municipalities, borrowing money for improvements and other purposes, pay 1 per cent. a month
 There are very few depositors in the local bank. Most of the well-to- do people, both among the merchants and farmers, never think of deposit ing their money, but have small pri- vate safes or secrete their holdings in some other manner.-Moody's Maga- zine.

PECULIAR MISTAKE IN ORDER
Twenty Wagons Drive Up With Young Grove When Horticuiturist Misreads Order for
 Oranges.

Madrid.-A very amusing incident is reported from Almeria. A woman wrote to a fruit grower ordering him to dispatch by the first train thou sand "naranjas oranges" The letter was badly written, and in- stead of "naranjas" the grower read "naranjos," meaning orange trees" The woman was surprised by the arr rival at her house of twenty wagons loaded with orange trees, young onea ready for planting.
 This incident will occasion a very interesting lawsuit, because the wom- an refuses payment, alleging the fault Is not hers if the fruit grower cannot read. He maintains the woman should pay, because the fault Is not his If she can not write properly. The dispute Is the cause of much hilaritys Both sides have engaged well-knowl counsel.

ECZEMA iTCHED so l
 COULDN'T STAND IT."

T suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. l kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about month, then I went to a doc tor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get bet ter. The itching stopped for about three days, but when it started again was even worse than before. The ec- zema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. l went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but it didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house, so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so l got me box of Cutieura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put the Cuticura Ointment on The first day I put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about week, then cOulu S66 tile StdU COIu0 Oll. l hSpL the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured.
 My brother got his face burned with gunpowder, and he used Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment The peo- pie all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned. It was simply awful to look at before the Cuticura Rem edies (Soap and OintmenD cured it." (Signed) Miss Elizabeth Gehrki, For rest City, Ark, Oct. 16, 1910.
