Ell PASO, Texas, Fen. 6--Outnum-
bered four to one, but displaying gen

err Napoleon, Coy. Rabago and his
command of 500 federals entered the
City OF Juarez at 9:25 last night ln-
molested by the insurrectos' forces,
and were received with joyful ac-
claim by the people Of the city.
The star of the insurrectos' leader,
Pasqual Orozco, who was to occupy
the City of Juarez by sunrise appears
to be on the wane. His policy of de-
lay has enabled re-enforcements to
reach Juarez, and the probability of
taking that city is now considered
much more remote than 1t was.
Other re-enforcements, in the shape
of Gen. Navarro's column, are en-
route from Chihuahua and will reach
Juarez today, and 1t is expected here
that the federals will be able to hold
tenir city, and that, knowing this,
the insurrectos will retire.

rectos are near Juarez, but this can

TAFT FOR ABSTINENCE
President Tells young People That Total Abstinence is Safer
 and Wiser Way

President Taft in a letter read in 5000 Sunday schools in the United States last Sunday sounded the key note of a total abstainers' movement. The letter is addressed to Sunday school pupils as My dear young friends" and reads:
 "The excessive use of intoxica- ting liquors is the cause of a great deal of poverty, degradation and crime of the world and one who abstains from the use of such li- quor avoids a dangerous tempta- ton. Abraham Lincoln showed that he believed this in writing out for his boy friends the pledge of total abstinence, so often quot ed.
 Each person must determine for himself the course he will take in reference to his tastes and appeti- tes, but those who exercise the self-restraint to avoid altogether the temptation of alcoholic liquor are on the safe and wiser side.

HELP FOR BOYS CORN CLUBS

Help from new source is offer ed to the boys corn contest clubs. B. C. Rhome, Jr., secretary and
 manager of the National Feeders and Breeders show at Fort Worth
 went to the Texas Corn Growers convention at Corsicana and bought 500 ears of the prize-win- ming corn, which will be given to the boys of these clubs. Good seed corn IS as necessary as good culture in making big yield, and many of the boys are not able to pay the high prices asked for premium corn. The Feeders and Breeders Show is primarily for the encour- agment of livestock raising in the Southwest, but the management recognizes the foundation of stock raising IS corn growing, and that more corn means more cattle and hogs of a better quality. The show, March 13 to Is will be attended by many of the boys of the corn clubs.

TO HOLDFARM MEETING
Government Experts Will Ad- dress Farmers at Newark 0ii
 Thursday, March 2

The Journal is in receipt of letter from L. A. Markham, Iron Mountain Agricultural Commis- sioner, stating that he and re- presentative of the U. s. Agricul- tural Department will be in New ark on Thursday morning, March 2, to address the farmers upon the value of better agricultural me thods and the importance of plant ing good seed.
 These meeting sare being held at various points along the Iron Mountain, MT. Markham having been employed by the railroad company to conduct an education al campaign throughout the state.
 That time has never been, nor will 1t ever be, when our country becomes overstocked with good seed. This applies to cotton, as well as to all other farm products.
 Neither has the time ever come when man in any calling or pro- fession reached the point where he could not learn or gather new ideas from others. The men who will be in Newark to address this meeting are men well versed in farming and they will be able to make many valuable suggestions which, if acted upon by our farm CTS, will no doubt result benefici- ally.
 The Journal hopes there will be large gathering of farmers here on this occasion, and We are sure they will be well repaid for their trouble of coming out.

THE SOCIALISTS REPLY
Says Lindsey is off the Trail and is Barking up the
 Wrong Tree

MT. .Editor.-I reply to my ar ticle on Socialism, Mir. Lindsey seems to think that he has, at one stroke of the pen, almost wiped Socialism off the earth. But as MT. Lindsey tells only what he has heard, seen and read, 1 would ask that he tell where he has heard, seen and read what he tells us. It was what l read and heard that kept me out of the Socialist party for many years, because read on- ly one side of the question.
 He says the doctrines 1 advocate are so absurd and rotten 1t almost requires one to hold his nose, but he failed to point out single word to prove his assertion, and launch ed off into something entirely off the subject.
 He asks if anybody was robbed when some tribesman caught the wild wolf and trained him, and did other animals likewise. No, certainly not; but what does that have to do with the doctrines of Socialism?
 Then he asks: Can you not see that Nature never made a farm? God never created money, houses, shoes, etc. Certainly, 1 have known these things from child hood. But what's MT. Lindsay read that has given him such an opin- ion of Socialism, or that prompts him to ask such questions?
 But to get down to the point: he says Nature has sown among the beasts and birds the rudinents of the very same principles that un- derlie our present system. To this l say, Amen! No Socialist can make more striking comparison to our present system, under which the farmer produces 85 per cent of the wealth, and retains only 16 per cent of 1t.
 Now, let us see what Nature has sown among the beasts, the birds and the fishes. It is nature for the big fish to swallow the little ones. It is nature for the King bird to be king of all birds, because he is more active and knows more about fighting. It is nature for the lion to kill and devour the weaker ani- mals. And 1t is nature for the big corporations to squeeze the life out of the smaller concerns. It is na- ture for few active men, who, like the King bird, possess superior ability, to secure possession of the

THE DUTY ON SUGAR

q The full duty >on Raw Sugar, of 1.ss6c per pound, for s6o test, is Gas shown by the table prepared by the Ways & Means Committed, equal to an ad valorem rate of 7S.S7@o. That this increases the cost of refined sugar to the ultimate consumer" early <2c per pound, is established by the fact that refiners, when ex- porting refined sugar, made from full duty paying raw sugar, name a price of 1850 per. pound less than their quotation in ~the domestic market. They are enabled to do this, because the drawback collected from the Gov ernment, when this sugar is exported, just about equals this difference. A saving of Pc per popnd to the Ameri= can people, on the amount of sugar they consumed last year, would be about s150,00o, ,0Oo.0o, and would mean that when housewife pur- chased ten pounds of sugar, for which she now pays soc, she could, under free sugar." buy the same quantity for about 40c.
 To give an idea of how this sugar tax compares with the duty on oth- CT articles. take the following exam
