FREE LIST BILL PASSES
Efforts of Republicans to Amend
Repeatedly Fail.

Washington.-Nine hours Of continu-
GUS pounding at the hands of the Re-
publican minority of the house of repre-
sentatives failed to make a single
change in the first Democratic tariff
bill, that placing on the free list agri-
cultural implements, meats and many
other articles. The bill passed the
house Monday by a vote of 236 to 100.
the Democrats voting solidly and mus
tering 'twenty-four Republicans with
them.
This came after the Democrats had
voted down or ruled out of order mora
than 100 amendments and had demon
strated again that the Democratic ma
jority was a compact. and smoothly
working machine for the enactment OF
legislation.
Minority Leader Mann threw amend
ment after amendment into the debate,
ranging all the way from free rice to
free lead and pig iron, but those that
were not ruled out of order were voted
down by an almost solid Democratic
vote.

WILL RESIGN WHEN
PEACE IS RESTORED
PRESIDENT DIAZ RESERVES RIGHT
TO SET DATE.
Manifesto to the People--Declares He
Would Quit at No Time under
Compulsion.

Mexico City.-Gen. Porfrio Diaz Sun
day issued a manifesto to the people of
Mexico declaring his intention to resign
the presidency as soon as peace is re-
stored. In this manner the president
has virtually acceded to the demand OF
Francisco /. Madero, Jr, the rebel leader,
that he make announcement of such III
t~ention.
As to when peace is actually restored
Gen. Diaz reserves the right to be the
Judge. In the words of the manifesto, it
will be "when, according to the dictates
of my conscience, I an sure that my
resignation will not be followed by an
archy."
The president declared that his deter
mination not to %relinquish the presi-
dency at this time was not due to vanity
or love of power, because, as he pointed
,ut, power at this time had no attraction,
accompanied as it is by tremendous re-
s%ponsibilities and worries. He. said he
was prompted solely by a desire to con
serve the best interests of his country,
The president made it clear that he
does. not propose to abandon the presi
dency while his country is at war and
that he would not do SO at any tims
under %compulsion.

CONGRESS- MUST
PROTECT BORDER
SOLDIERS ARE POWERLESS TO
PROTECT AMERICANS.
Taft Has Gone the Limit-Troops Will
Make Attempt to Keep Americans
From Danger Zone.

Washington.-Unless congress takes
q hand in the situation, the United
States forces OH the Mexican border
are powerless to protect Americans
within range of bullets falling in and
around Ell Paso from Mexican rifles.
"All we can d." said Maj.-Gen. Wood,
chief of staff of the army, SIS to keep
cur people out of the danger zone as
far as possible and protest to the bel
ligerents against firing in IL direction.
Without authority from congress the
army cannot cross the border, no matter
what happens"
Administration officials are watching
the constantly changing situation with
deep and anxious interest. News that
hostilities had been resumed was re.
ceived at the White House with obvious
surprise and disappointment. The an.
nouncement that President Diaz would
resign upon the restoration Of peace
followed Immediately by the recall OF
the revelutionist vanguard on a march
for the City of Mexico had given ground
for hope that the worst was over ant
peace was at last in sight.
The presidents attitude as to inter
vsntion is just what it was after thu
troops were sent to Texas. Without &C
tiJn of congress there can be no inter
vention.
Though the state department receives
practically no advices, the war depart
ment is keeping in close touch with E
Paso through the army officers.
However, nothing can be added t
the introductions which were give
when it became known that anothe
battle was imminent. The only order
were that Americans were to be KEEP
as far as possible away from the firin
line.

TAFT AND GIBBONS
talk FOR PEACE
BRITISH ARBITRATION GIVEN IN.
DORSEMENT AT BALTIMORE
Cardinal Declares Proposed Treaty viii
Go Far Towards Maintenance
of Peace.

Baltimore.-President Taft in his
speech at the opening of the Third
National Peace Conference Wednesday,
declared the United States would keep
hands off and not seek to extend its
domain or to acquire foreign territory.
The president made no mention specitical-
ly of Mexico, but by what he said it
seemed that the troubled situation there
and the suspicion in the South American
republics as to the intention OF this
nation, in regard to its southern neigh
bors, had inspired him.
The president had been speaking of the
recurrence of internal disturbances In
countries not so well able as the United
States to maintain order and peace, and
had said that it was incumbent on the
great nations of this hemisphere to ex.
ercise their kindly and peaceful infiu-
ence as much as possible"
I'VE have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what RESPONSE.
bilities they entail, the burdens and
losses and horrors, and we would have
none of them. We have a magnificent
domain of our own in which we are at
tempting to work ont and show to the
world success in popular government,
and we need no more territory in which
to show this.
"But we nave attained great pros
perity and great power. We have be-
come a powerful member of the COM
munity of nations in which we live, and
there is therefore thrust upon us neces-
sarily "a care and responsibility for the
peace of the world in our neighborhood
and a burden of helping those nations
that cannot help themselves, il we may
do that peacefully and effectively"
The president spoke to several thou
SAND persons in the Lyric Theater. Car
dinal Gibbons, Secretary of Wal Dickin
son, Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Andrew
Carnegie and more than a dozen Other
men prominent in the movement fol
world peace sat on the platform will
the president. Cardinal Gibbons ant
Hamilton Holt, president of the confer
ence, who spoke before the president
voiced the opinion that the negotiation
of the proposed arbitration treaty be
tween the United States and Grea'
Britain would mark the greatest step to
ward universal peace that the world hat
ever seen.

Farmers, Attention.

No matter if corn is cheap now, it
may be high next year-higher,
relatively, than cotton.
Therefore, plant some corn.
Will you have good pasture this
sumner for your stock! 1t is easy
to provide for this now.
Of course, you have a good gar
den. No Southern farmer should
ever have to buy a vegetable. b.
Have you planted potatoes?
Have you arranged so that you
will have chickens the year around =?
OF course, it is easy to borrow
money for cotton growing. Do not
borrow too much. 1t is harder to
paw back than to borrow.
And by the way, is your drink
ing water supply free from typhoid
germs?

LEGISLATURE FAILS TO ELECT
Took Ninety-Two Ballots-Deadlock
Lasted 1913 Days.

Denver, Col.-The joint assembly of
the Colorado legislature dissolved sine
die at 1915 o'clock Saturday night
without electing a United States senator
to succeed the late Senator Charles j.
Hughes. The Legislature, which has a
large Democratic majority, has been
deadlocked for 1913 days on Robert M.
Speer, mayor of Denver, and former Gov.
Alva Adams, both Democrats. Ninety
two ballots, in all, had been taken.
The action of the joint assembly in
dissolving without an election means
that Colorado for the next two years
will have only one senator-he a Repub
lican from a Democratic state-in the
national senate.

If the daily newspaper would remedy its

Publish the truth only, all the truth
is necessary, neither abridged nor exag-

that is secondarily useful or legitimate

FORETELlS EARTH'S DOOM
May Take a Billion Years, Says Prof.
Arrehenius.

Moline, nl.-That the earth will be-

was the prophecy made by DIR. Svante
A~rrehenius of Stockholm, in a lecture at
Augustana College.
DR.. Arrehenius, who won the Nobel
prize in chemistry in 1908 because of his
electrolitic disassociate theory, is re-
garded as the worlds greatest cosmog-
onist. DR.. Arrehenius declared that two
causes are operating to bring about the
extinction of life on the earth. Loss in
heat generated by the sun is one of the
dangers that threatens, while diminu-
ton of carbonic acid in the atmosphere
is the other menace.
However, DIR. Arrehenius explained
that the sun will probably continue to
give out the same amount of heat for
at least a billion more years.
