OF ToRREoN.
Uprisings are Now Reported General
in Southern TamauIipas and Other
sections-Many Battles are Report
ed Throughout Republic.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 10. = Advance
squads of the Mexican rebel army
have been repulsed by federal troops
in the territory north of Torreon.
Nevertheless, sharp skirmishes be-
tween outposts continue. All this is
preliminary to what probably will be
the most decisive battle of the cam
paign in the north.
Fifteen thousand men are engaged
on both sides. The rebels under
Orozco aim at Torreon, whence they
hope by winning victory to strike
straight for the Mexican capital.
FederaIs Draw First Blood.
The government claims it drew first
blood yesterday, killing ninety insur-
gents and losing only seven men,
aside from several wounded.
In telegraph office improvised on
the desert fifty miles north of Tor
reon. General Huerta, COMMANDER of
the federal army of Northern Mex
leo, transmitted today by telegraph
to an Associated Press representative
here news of military developments
in the last twenty -four hours.
The wire had been set up direct to
the federal camp, being routed from
Ell Paso via Laredo, Tex, Monterey
and Torreon, roundabout circuit
eastward of more than one thousand
miles. This was made necessary by
the seizure of all telegraphic lines
directly south of here by the rebels.
General Huerta seemed enthusias-
tic over prospects of the battle to
come. , =,
General Huerta's Report.
Yesterday, Thursday, GeneraI Ra-
bago completely routed 1000 rebels
at Zaratoza and Tlahualilo, both near
Torreon,' wired Huerta.
THE rebels lost ninety dead and
many wounded. Our loss was seven
dead and few wounded. The reb-
els were driven back in hasty flight
and are pursued by cavalry under
General Villa.
"On ednesday we heard that de-
tachment of LOCO rebels was advanc-
ing on us, and we organized col
umn which went by railroad under
General Rabago. To cut off retreat
we sent overland cavalry from forces
of Villa.
"They arrived about o'clock on
Thursday morning and Immediately at
tackled the rebels. AS the fight grew
more intense, General Rabago ar
rived and fanked the rebels. He
had with him artillery and machine
guns. The fight lasted six hours. We
completely routed the enemy.
"a telegram has just been brought
to me from General Trucy Aubert at
Cuarlo Cienegas, which says the
rebel chief Salazar was completely
routed and is running away in the
direction of Sierra Mojada," Huerta
said. :.
Couriers from the advance guard
arrived at this juncture, according
to General EUerta, and informed him
that the federal outposts were in
possession of the Mexican Central
railroad up to within twelve miles
Bermejillo.
No communication was had here
with the rebel front early today, but
the liberal official conceded they met
stubborn resistance in the initial
skirmishing.
Today is the first anniversary of
the surrender of Juarez to Madero,
and equally important developments
in the Mexican history are said to be
expected.

~FA~"N-'N~NN
Each of us walks alone and
must balance himself through life. Many mil
lions walk but few steps and fall back into the
infinite whence they came. Other millions walk
half or three-quarters of the way-a small per-
centage finish the full natural span of normal
life.
If you are old enough to have finished half
the journey you know that this is good pic
ture of life as it is.
Hesitating, balancing, leaning to this side and
to that side, you go along the span that leads
from birth to death.
This is picture about which all the writers
have written, all the poets have sung, all the
philosophers have specuIated, and all the law
makers have legisated.
We have all got to take the journey, walk the
span, whether we like it or not
We are not asked when we come here
whether we want to come. And it is not left to
us to say when shall go. We come without
knowing why, we go without knowing why
and we travel our journey balanced on thread
stretched between the finger and thumb of
Destiny.
We are not, however, mere machines wound
up and set in motion Something is left to our
own decision. We get an Inheritance from
fathers and mothers through thousands of gen
erat0ns, and it is true that we can have onIv
what they give us.
But we have above everything, and in addi
ton to everything, WILL POWER, the power
of thought based on observation and guided nv
conscience.
We can use our inheritance of character and
temperament as the sculptor uses the block of
marble, and we can carve that inheritance as
we will and at least make of it the best that If
can produce.

human beings taken in childhood and in old

Nothing could be more typical of Woodrow Will
sons purpose and policy in regard to all matters of
public concern than his tenacious interest the
affairs of New Jersey. He is standing by the cause
OF honest and liberal government in that State
stanchly and as definitely today he did in the
outset Of his administration as Governor The fact
that he is to enter upon larger and more con-
spicuous labors in no wise lessons his will to
plete the task that lies Immediately about him. He
turns to the duty of the moment, duty which one
who was more of a politician and less of public
servant might be disposed to forget evade, with
as much vigor and frmness though it were the
crowning responsibility of his career.
Mr. wilson's election to the Presidency brought
mingled regret and rejoicing to the old unsaddled
bosses in New Jersey. They were disappointed

but they we're also heartened by the belief that when
he assumed his national duties Mr.. Wilson would
cease to be practically actively concerned in the
conduct of State politics. 1t seems. indeed, that
there are certain men who have been impatiently
counting the days when he would move to Washing
ton and. as they hoped. leave the home field clear
to them.
But that is not Governor Wilson's way of doing
things He made it clear Immediately after the cleo
tion that for several months to his primary
interest would be in finishing the constructive pro-
gram which he had begun in behalf of the people of
New Jersey. He is determined that his work as
Governor as leader Of the forwardlooking forces in
his State shall be completed He is unwilling to
leave any job half done
More than that he is determined to maintain.

THE OVICLEAGUE OF AMERICA

The public has vital cause to be interested in
any movement that brings earnest men together for
counsel and cooperation in behalf of good citizen
ship That is the purpose of the Civic League of
America, which will hold it's seventh national
ference in Atlanta on Thursday and Friday of the
current week. These meetings should, and doubtless
will enlist the cordial sympathy and support of the
people of this community we'll that of the
delegates from other cities and States.
The League was organized some seven years ago
in response to widely felt need for more aggres-
sive and, especially, coherent campaign to
assure efficiency and uprightness in the affairs Of
government municipal State and national Its dis
tinctve feature is the fact that it stresses the duty
of the individual citizen. 1t proceeds upon the idea
that if the source of government, which is the peo
pe can be quickened and rightly directed then the
results of government will be what they should be-
1t is proverb that the people generally get the sort
of government they want, at least the sort to
which their own conduct and ideals entitle them.
The Civic League aims to stipulate and to upft
the purpose of average citizen in order that all
citizens may seek better government and seek it
more earnestly
The League is national in its scope and is with
out partisan or sectarian bias Its convention in
Atlanta will be watched with hearty interest
In our opinion, Colonel Goethals is entitled to
all the honors that coming to him.

This is not a proverb handed down for moral

oughly practical remarks from series daily lee
lures by Prof Jones at the poultry show The fact
that the farmers of Georgia not realizing their

scientific methods. Every farm has its chickens
but not enough farms have the kind OF chickens

stance when reflects that part of the country

reversed and we shall become exporters instead of
importers, when the ideas which being advanced
and the methods which are being demonstrated at

acceptance among the farmers of the State. Prof.

A SANE CHRISTMAS.

Through singular twist of custom, it happens
in most parts of the south that July the Fourth is
celebrated on December twenty-hfth.
In other sections the use of dangerous fireworks
is limited to independence Day, but in many south

deporable practice; so that it is midwinter rather
than in midsummer that our own people should re-
fleet upon the reasonable claims of those who so

country at large in respect to Independence Day. it
should be made to accomplish for the south in re-

explosives the list of deaths and injuries which was
once so appallingy high has steadily diminished
like crusade should be directed against this
same peril at Christmas time, and equally crafty
