HUNDREDS ARE FLEEING
TO ESCAPE BIG FLOOD
Latest Break in Levee North
of New Orleans Threatens
Disaster to Farm Lands.

NEW ORLEANS. May 15.-Hundreds
OF persons are fleeing before the flood
torrent in the country just north OF New
Orleans on the opposite side of the Mis-
sissippi river. The cash that was forced
out Of the west levee last night is widen
ing this morning and a great territory
of fertile country will be added to
Louisiana's thousands of inundated
acres. Thousands Of persons are in the
path of the food. The danger of life
loss is small because government aid
was at the scene few hours after the
break was reported. but the damage to
towns and plantations that will be flood
ed will be tremendous.
Approximately $4,000 persons will be
affected and probably half Of this num-
ber will be without homes until the
waters find way eventually into the
Gulf of Mexico. A stretch of territory
adjacent to the Mississippi river, vary
ing in width from ten to thirty miles.
and unbroken with few exceptions
from the Arkansas state line south to
the ST. Charles-Jefferson parish, ap-
proximateIy $50 miles, probably will
be more or less inundated before this
new crevasse is closed.
Flood Soon to Reach Villages.
Dozens Of villages and hamlets along
the Texas and Pacific, including Taft
Station, will be under water before
another week passes. Roosevelt in
north Louisiana. was among the first
towns to be inundated by the Dog Tail
crevasse waters several weeks ago.
The news of the break was carried
rapidly last night by couriers. by tele-
graph and telephone to the thousands
of persons in the affected district and
throngs Of women and children, almost
panic stricken, sought refuse and safety
on the levees above and below the break
waiting the coming or rescue boats. At
daylight no lives had been reported lost.
Crowds of refugees arrived at Lucy and
Killona during the night.

Appeal for Sufferers.

An appeal has been made by the De-
partment of Agriculture to the farmers
in the highlands adjacent to the Miss.i-
sippi flood district to save all the cut
tingY and seed sweet potatoes possible
from their own crops for the benefit of
the flood sufferers. Sweet potatoes are
one Of the staple crops of the region. and
the seed potatoes in the flooded districts
have all been spoiled.
1t is thought that the upland farmers
can help out their less fortunate neigh
bors with seeds and cuttings, which will
be distributed through the agents of the
cooperative farm demonstration work.

Powers of Privilege.

GAINESVILLE. Ohio, May 15.-with his
voice husky, and looking tired, President
Taft began his third days campaign in
Ohio at Rosevlle, ten miles from here.
The President was up at $50 and made
his speech at Roseville at : o'clock to
several hundred persons. His huskiness
was marked at the beginning of the
speech. but as he warmed up to his sub
ject it was less noticeable and his ply
sician, Maj. Thomas l.. Rhoads, was con-
fident Mr. Taft will be able to get
through handily and will be in fine shape
to take up the campaign after his sched-
uled twelve hours, rest at Cleveland to-
morrow. Mr.. Tafts physical condition,
Maj. Rhoads says, is practically as good
as when he left Washington last Sunday
and the only fear at present was that
his voice might not stand the hard work
OF a dozen to fifteen speeches each day

His scheduled stops today included
Newark, Mount Vernon, Mansfield,

Says Roosevelt Has Changed.
When l was candidate four years
ago said Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Roosevelt

he has changed or l have changed since
then, and / think 1 have seen evidence
that it is he. Certainly he has changed

Il appeal from the Roosevelt of today
to the Roosevelt of 1904, who held that
only two terms were enough But the
Roosevelt who was not seeking office is
not the Roosevelt who is chasing around
the country after one.
Enforcing Antitrust Laws.
President Taft's speec hhere was like
his first one at Rosevilie in which he
discussed, with other things. the en-
forcement by his administration of the
antitrust laws.
Il enforced that law as i swore |
would when / took my oath to support
the Constitution" said the President.
AS he was leaving the platform in the
public square a little boy of three or
four held up by his father TO shake

today. In New York and Massachusetts
the great democratic papers which rep
resent the reactionary. standpat demo-
cratic element. the papers that helped
Parker in 1904. are practically all the
organs of Mr.. Taft. They are democratic
only nominally. They do the bidding of
Wall street with the democratic leaders
in Congress. They are working in every
way TO prevent my nomination. partly
because they are afraid l will win if / am
nominated. and partly because they do
not like my style anyhow"

Roosevelt. He was up at 6 O'Clock and
made his first speech at Elyria at $40
A. that hour there were several hundred
persons at the station. A few minutes

THE CRISIS IN MEXICO.

The estimate of military eX- pcrts that it will require an army of 100000 and two years time tn restore order in Mexico in case of intervention by this country will naturally influence the presi- dent and congress, if a special scs"i n is called, in going slow before taking any such drastic action as intervention.
 At tho same time, conditions in Mexico today are such that it seems almost imperative that the United States should take prompt steps for the protection of the lives and property of American citizens and other foreigners, who arc being made the victims of the rebel marauders. This is demand ed of the United States, under the provisions of the Monroe doc Urine, but it would be none the less the duty of this country were no foreign interests involved.
 There is cause for the belief that many of the atrocities being DO: pctrated by the Mexican reb- els arc for the express purpose of forcing the United States to take part, and the belief such intervention would mark the downfall of the MadcrO govern mcni. which has demonstrated it's inability to control the situation.
 American citizens generally will hope that the United SiatrS may br saved from the necessity of in t"rvcnIinn in Mexico. The entire Latln-Amrrican people are sus- piciouS of our attitude toward them and Interference by us in Mexico would go a long way to- ward running what trade rcla- lions we now have with the na- tions to the South. Furthermore, this country does not want a Mex ican problem on it's hands. But in the crisis such as that now pending, it is apparently impera- tive that the United States should do it's duty and adopt whatever course is necessary to restore or der in Mexico and protect the lives and interests of Americans and other foreigners in the cOun- try.

A NEW ACQUISITION.

As a rider to the Post-oflicc bill congress has provided that every newspaper, magaZinr or period ical using the United States mails must file with the Postmastcr- General twice a year a Sw, "ll statement setting forth the names and addresses of it's editor, man. aging editor, publisher, buSin ,sS manager, owners and StOckhold- CTS; also the names of it's bond holders, mortgages and other sc- curity-holdcrs. This information must also he published by the newspaper. magazine or pcri0di- cal in question. In addition. any editorial or news matter for which compensation iS received must be marked "advrrliSrmcnt.'
 So far as the ProSpccinr is concerned il has no information of any kind to conceal from the govGrnm"nt inr from anybody. Our books arc always open and our news and editorial columns are not for sale. But what have all these rules and regulations which congress imposes upon publishers 10 do with the post office department or with the fed rral government? If congress may compel newspapers to fur nish a statement of their stock holders and bondholders and creditors to the postmaster gen rral for the privilege of using the mails, why cannot it compel ev- pry person who uses the mails 10 make similar statement ? Why cannot it carry this inqui- sitiOn into every factory, into Gv- cry office, into every apartment into every farm house?
 If the pOstOnfice department is to natiOn-widr inquisitiOn rather than an agency for carry ing the mails, why stop with the newspapers Indeed. how long will congress stop with the news papers? How long before any citizens right t0 mail or recciv., q letter will depend upon his abil- fly tO make a statement of his private affairs which will be sat iSfactOry to a Washington bu- Teaucracy?
