MILITIA FOR MEXICO
SEVERAL STATES SAID TO BE IN.
sTRUcTED TO MOBILIZE
For American Intervention in Mexico
Chaos Reigns in Neiehbor
Republic.

New York-A Washington dispatch
says so complete are the plans for
Intervention in Mexico by the United
States that militia authorities in every
state have been instructed as to how
and where their troops shall be mob
ilized. On the authority Of an officer
who has seen these plans the state
ment is made that sites for three great
camps-one at Mobile, Ala, another
at San Antonio and the third at San
Diego, Cal, have been selected.
1t is proposed that one army, en-
barking from Mobile, shall invade Mex.
leo from the eastern coast. A second
army, embarking from San Diego, will
invade Mexico from the west coast.
From San Antonio the third army will
move south across the Rio Grande.
1t is proposed to consolidate the
troops of Ohio and Kentucky into one
di"isiol, instead of permitting them
to remain a division and one brigade
as at present organized. The regi
ment of Ohio troops will be permitted
to remain at home.

Lesson Of the Past.

"My dead argument is the lesson Of
history, the story of the initiative and
referendum and it's part in the over
throw of the republics Of antiquity, of
the fathers of our federal constitution,
who read Alright these pages of the
past, and, in guiding the ship of state,
avoided the dangers of a pure democ-
racy and an absolute monarchy-the
Scylla and Charbydis, on which gov
ernments so organized have been en-
quilted in the waves of despotism.
"My quick argument is the lesson
of today, the story of the initiative
and referendum in the golden West,
of the modern St. Simon preaching
the gospel of political regeneration.
And concurrently with this movement,
and maybe to some extent because of
it, there is a marked growth in eco
nomic socialism and philosophic an
archism doctrine as old as human dis
content.
when Solon, the wise law-giver,
was alive, Athenian society was divid-
ed into four classes. This dlstinctlon
was made in accordance with their in
come, their financial ability to own
and maintain a horse, etc. AS usual,
the fourth class was the most numer-
Gus and included those who earned
their living, manual labor-artisans,
mechanics and day laborers. But
such were the high ideals of Athenian
justice that in all matters appertain-
ing to the welfare of the state all
classes were equal, and, in the great
meeting place, called the Eclesia,
every citizen of Athens, through the
referendum, could by direct vote des,
ignate his choice of officials, distribu.

transactions, peace or war.

EXCELLENT FOR SKIN
Mrs. O'Brien Could Not Well Do

Mrs. O'Brien Could Not Well Do
Without 1t.
So varied are the uses of Resinol
that one instinctively turns to 1t when
anything happens. Read what Mrs.
John D. O'Brien, of Laurinburg, N. c.,
says:-
Il use Resinol Soap and Ointment
regularly, and find they meet your
every claim, and could not we'll do
without them. Resinol Ointment is
our household remedy for all ailments
of the skin, and its results are always
satisfactory. We think Resinol Soap
excellent and prefer it to all others"
Not only is Resinol Soap highly eff
! fective in removing skin affections,
but Resinol Ointment has no equal in
relieving eczema, scalds and burns,
letter, ringworm, barber's itch, milk
crust, pimples, rash, chaps, chilblains,
chatting, itching, blackheads, boils, etc
Dealers everywhere sell the Resinol
preparations; the oinment in two

soap at twenty-five cents a cake. Free

FEAR GENERAL FLOOD
DANGER LuRKs IN THE VICINITY
OF MANY OHIO TOWNS.
Rivers of the State Are on the Rise
and If Rains and Thaw Continue
Damage Will Be Widespread.

Kenton.-Thawing weather and the
rain of the last few days have made
themselves felt here by the worst
food known in years. The Scioto
river is far over it's banks and the
south end of the city is covered with
water. Houses are entirely sur
rounded and streets have been con-
verted from thoroughfares into
streams.
Hundreds of acres of farm land
along the river are under water and
fences and many other small or loose
objects are being swept down the
river. The Ohio Central railroad
yards are a small lake.
The flood is causing much distress
in the river district, where many res
idents find themselves imprisoned in
their own homes

DissensIon Was Disaster.

"If the text of a law was obscure,
or the Judge in doubt, the matter went
to the Eclesia for solution. Every
case in the different courts of the re-
public was appealable to this assem-
bly,. l imagine that my friend from
Cuyahoga, Mr.. Crosser, would desig-
nate such system as the ne plus
ultra of governmental wisdom, and
yet what happened? The Athenians,
cultured and intelligent as they were,
soon lost sight of the finer sense of
justice and equality; the landed class,
as in every age since, sought to divide
the masses. TIE fourth estate coveted
the wealth Of the few; human pas
sions broke loose in the assembly and
anger and tumult prevented wise de-
cisions.

deliberation, Solon instituted the SEN
