DiscIaims Intent to Intervene

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Interven-
ton in Mexico by the United States
is not intended by any mobilization OF
troops that may be made again along
the southern border. This is the at
titude of the state department, tele-
graphed to various consular and dip
lomatic Representatives in Mexico who
had complained that intervention talk
there was fostering a dangerous anti
American sentiment.
The state department reiterated en-
phatically that this government had
10 interest in Mexico beyond the safe
ty of American lives and interests,
but from the same consular agents
come reports far from reassuring as
to the stability of the Mexican fed
eral government. No specific formid-
able uprising was recorded, but small
upheavals, regarded as symptoms of
general dissatisfaction, led 10 an ap-
prehensiOn that the malcontents may
unite, confronting the government
with a serious crisis.

REASON FOR WITHHOLD DING
NAMES or WITNESSES

Many are processing 20 see mystery
in Secretary Fishers refusal to make
public the names OF the twenty-odd
witnesses to whom he sent out his
formal written requests for attend
ance last Friday. They are unable TO
understand why he does not care TO
have the names known to everyone
Mr.. Fishers private secretary, Her
bert A. Meyer, explained Saturday
that these are withheld because the
Secretary does not want others, who
did not receive these formal notices.
to feel that they have been overlooked
or sighted Intentionally. AS matter
of fact, 1t is understood the names
Mr.. Fisher holds have been submitted
to him by Governor Frear and Prihas
Kuhio, and Mr. Fisher made it plain,
at the beginning of the first days
hearing. that he will gladly receive
any and all such evidence pertinent to
the subject OF the inquiry, no matter
from whom they may come.
He makes just two stipulations,
they must be petinent to the matter
in hand, with a direct bearing on
some phase OF the real questions at
issue. and those bringing them must
be willing to leave 1t entirely to Mr..
Fishers discretion as to whether - cir
names and the nature of their infor.
nation shall be made public.

the drift of my remarks In that re-
spect will put 1t another way. Much
of this controversy has arisen from
the fact from the encouragement that
the opponents of Governor Frear have
received The land question Ii no

trations try to handle the matter. It

Swanzy. The latter had said the the
Org Of homesteading might be all right.
provided however. the small farmer
could obtain irrigation. This. suanzy
had declared, would likely prove I'M
practicable because the expense
would be greater than the small farm-
er could bear and because the small
owner could not possess the water
sources, thus being compelled largely
to depend on the good viii Of the
few men who naturally would control
the sources
Ashford,s reply this morning was
that the government could possess
these water sources and could UNDER
take the expensive Job Of conserving
the water, just as It has done IN 50
many cases In the safes, establishing
a system that would give the govern

am very glad to see that you are able
to be here this morning; and sorry
you were not able to be with us Sat

have been supplied with copy Of the

Mr.. Ashford: have seen the news
paper reports.
Mr.. Fisher: Well, they give the sub
stance Of what occurred, think.
II has seemed desirable to me at
the outset to ascertain what really
ought to be accomplished or ought to
be attempted to be accomplished by
any Governor so that we might have
some Of the charges filed by the Dele
gate, and for that reason I have been
asking some questions of the men
whom I thought would represent one
or another view OF Importance. or one
or another interest of Importance. II
think perhaps IL you or the Delegate
either are willing To do so, that. Ill
would be q little helpful to us If we
could get your views at the outset Of
what can be accomplished and what
should be accomplished by the chief
executive OF these Islands, particular
", of course, with referencesto the two
questions that are principally raised
in the protest Of the Delegate filed
with me, namely, the question of the
disposition Of the public lands, their
development and use; and the ques-
ton Of the Development and control
Of the transportation facilities upon
which the use Of these lands largely
depends. would like, therefore, Ill
you are ready at this time, to have
you tell as what you think should be
the main purpose or character of the
homestead law, or Of any other method
OF diepoEing or the lands which belong
10 the public here and are under the
Jurisdiction Of the Governor or his ap
pointees, and which will come under
his jurisdiction and control as the

Political Data Scarce.

With the Maine and Vermont cleo
tions passed into history practically all
the valuable political straws in the shape
of state elections are behind us, and We
shall be compelled to grope our way in
the dark till the vote on November 5
settles it all. 1t is true that Arkan-
sas voted ON the same day as did
Maine, but the result there was with
out national significance, the Democrats
sweeping up the state in the usual de-
cisive fashion; and it is true that
Georgia will vote early next month, but
nothing politically startling can be ex-
pected from this southern state.
Practically all our data is at hand
in the shape of the Vermont and
Maine figures. In Vermont, where
the Progressiyes made fight with
their own ticket, the old-time Repub-
lican plurality was cut to about 5000,
while in Maine, where the Progress
sives united with the regular Repub-
licans, the Democrats We're defeated by
a narrow margin. When the Repub-
lcans unite and carry Maine in Septem-
Der by less than 1000 plurality, it is
left to the imagination to speculate how
large the Democratic plurality may be
in November with the two factions of
the Republican party at each others
throat.
The Maine election is different from
of almost any other state. There was
no Bull Moose state ticket, but there
will be one in practically all the rest
of the states, and wherever the third
party ticket is presented the chances
of Democratic success on the state and
national tickets are greatly heightened
In each state the tangle is peculiar and
shaped by local conditions and by parti-
san expediency, but in general the Dem.
acratic party is the beneficiary of the
division among the Republicans.-Boston

THE AMERICAN MINE.
Colorado, the Most Diverse River in the
United States.

For some 1000 miles the great Colo
RADIO river sweeps diagonally across the
country from the high mountain plateau
of Wyoming and Colorado to the farth-
est southwest corner Of the United
States. The basin drained of the Colo
RADIO and it's tributaries is about 300,-
900 square miles in area, and much Of
il is Of high industrial and scenic in.
terest
The Colorado basin comprises two dis
tinct portions. The lower third is but
little above the level Of the sea, though
here and there in it ranges Of mountains
rise to elevations of 1000 to 5000 feet
This part of the valley is bounded on
the north by line of cliffs which pre-
sent bold and in many places, verti-
cal step of hundreds or thousands of
feet to the tableland above. The upper
two-thirds of the basin stands from
1000 to 5000 feet above sea level and
is bordered on the east, west, and north
by ranges Of snow-elad mountains, which
attain attitudes ranging from 5000 to
$4,000 feet. Through this plateau the
Colorado and its tributaries have cut
narrow gorges or canyons in which they
INV ut dlhiDSt iHdNttSslble utplHs. AT
points where lateral streams enter, the
canyons are broken by narrow trans
verse valleys. The whole upper basin
of the Colorado Is traversed by laby-
rinth of these canyons, many of which
are dry during the greater portion of
the year and carry water only during
the melting of snow and the brief pc
RODS of the autumnal and spring rains.
In the lower portion the river strong
ly resembles the Nile, having annual
floods which distribute silt over the ad-
joining lands and render them as fer
tile as those in the historic valley of
North Africa. The Colorado and its
tributaries are not only of value for
but, descending in steep chan
nels, they present abundant opportuni-
ties for the development of water pow
er. Power has been developed at a
few points, but the resources of the
Colorado basin are in this respect yet
untouched.

A Republican View of Democrats.

Well Well! There are to be three
Democrats in the state Senate, accord
ing to the latest returns. They are
Dodds from Grand Isle, Roy from Gale
donia and Pollard from Windsor. We
do not apprehend any serious results
from that, as somehow the Democrats
who do get into the Vermont state SEN
ate are always remarkably good men.
Take the Senate of 1908, for instance,
it had two Democrats and there were
none better than Kennedy of Chittenden
and Wright of Grand Isle. They were
strictly attentive to business and laid
aside partisanship whenever the good
of the state demanded it. We honest
ly believe that little Democratic leav-
en- injected in every Vermont Senate
wouldn't be bad idea.--Morrisville
News and Citizen.
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-09-13

| 1t looks as if Vermont were going to
be left severely alone by the national
campaigners from now to November cleo
ltion. What's Vermont's four votes
worth anyway? Apparently little. How
ever the situation in the electoral col
Ilege may so frame itself that four votes
would be very powerful. But the cam
paigners cannot be blamed for directing
most of their energy to the big states
with tremendous first influence in the
electoral college.

Massachusetts, as well as Vermont

careless about protecting town records
and so Massachusetts enacted law en-

that the towns place their records in

1t would be more than one mans work
