possessed white flag. as a sign OF

the German minister and the Span

shortly before noon, and after a
brief conference with President

niaz would do likewise, until the
diplomats or their representatives
could confer with the rebels,

others to interview the rebel chief
tain and they entered an automobile
with white flag and moved
through the federal linas. They
were the target for many rifle bull

without an injury to the occupants.
Tho bombardment, which was
terrific yesterday, reached climax
this morning when Diaz shelled the
very. center of the business district
in an effort to silence the cannons
of the government from the roofs Of
office buildings. The federal sharp
shooters and men with machine guns
returned the fire and for two hours
shot fell like SO much hail and oc-
easional bursting shells tore holes
in the sides of buildings Mean
while, the FIRE from opposite direc-
tions rendered the foreign resident
quarter uninhabitable and many
apartment houses were summarily
vacated.
It was this action which induced
the diplomats, after conference
with their governments, to protest
against the continuation of such OPP
erations. which they characterized
as being unbeeoming the laws of
warfare of civilized nations. Presi-
dent Madero and his cabinet agreed
that the warfare being carried on
was barbarous and that no results
could be accomplished from such a

ALL WRONG
The Mistake is Made by Many
Newport Citizens.

Look for the cause OF back

To be cured you must know
the cause.
If it's weak kidneys
You must set the kidneys
working right.
A resident of this vicinity
shows you how.

Der of my family was taken Sc
riously ill with pneumonia in
1908 and when he recovered he
was very weak. He compliance
of a constant, dull ache in the
small Of bis back and he also had
dizzy spells. He was unable to
work and I knew that something
must be done to prevent the
trouble becoming chronic.

much for me that I concluded to

entirely removed the backache

When Rose Went Wrong.

The Memphis Commercial APP
peal calls attention to the fact
that Jack Rose, the reformed
gambler, whose testimony re-
suited in the conviction of the
New York gunner, has now
turned farmer. He recently
told his story to the reading
public. In this biographical
lsketch he admitted that he had
been a very bad man. He has
associated with criminals from
early youth. He deserves the a
buse that has been heaped upon
his head since he turned
Estates evidence. He can only
be forgiven for his crimes in the
other world.
The Commercial Appeal COM
ments: Rose belongs to the
past. He had been almost for
gotten. Other law breakers of
more consequence now occupy
the limelight.
At a dinner recently given by
the Twilight Club, Judge Lind
sey, Of Denver, Colorado, was
present. So also was Jack Rose.
One remark made by the latter
at this gathering is worthy of,
being remembered, because it
shows how different the life @
this social offender might have
been. Looking Judge Lindse'
in the eye, he stated with frank
ness, "the story of my life would
have been different if juvenile
courts had been established dur
ing my boyhood.'
when Jack Rose was but
four years of age, he suffered
with a severe case of typhoid
fever. When he recovered he
was bald, and since that time
hair has refused to make its APP
pearance upon his head.
"At school the fact that he
was a bald-headed boy was the
source of derisive taunts of his
companions. He was the butt
of ridicule. Sensitive by nature,
these taunts soon made a truant
of him, and as a truant he was
sent, when still a youth of ten
der years, to a reform school.
Thrown with companions of old
er years, associated with boys
who were we'll advanced in GRIM
inal walks of life, surrounded by
a vicious atmosphere with no

Where the Money Should Go.

A billion dollar congress is no
longer regarded as extravagant,
because the needs of this nation
as we'll as it's resources are
great and in our pride, we spend
our national wealth with an ex-
travagance and recklessness
that is almost criminal. Public
buildings, locks and dams that
are never used form two of the
avenues through which this ma
tiOn has for many years been
wasting millions.
OF course as long as the
money was to be thus wasted,
every city of consequence sought
a public building and through
the help of it's congressman was
as rule successful. Newport
is to get one and as long as 9TH
er cities were to be so favored
it was only right that we
should. The credit belongs to
Congressman Oldfeld and the
people Of this city appreciate
his efforts in our behalf, for if
public buildings were to be built
in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Tennessee and every other state,
why not in Arkansas. It has
been a game of grab and as long
as the grabbing is to be part
and parcel of our national legis-
lation, there can be no equaliz-
ing of the benefits unless all
participate.
Z The present administration is
termed by many "the rule of the
South" Thepresident was born
in Virginia, many of his cabinet
and close advisers hail from Dix
lie, the speaker of the house is a
Missourian and the chairman of
the ways and means committee
is an ALBANIAN. The leaders
of the party in power in the
Senate are nearly all from below
Mason's and Dixon's line.
What greater reform could be
attained by our triumphant and
rehabilitated Democracy than
in overturning these abuses,
this squandering of millions and
turning the channels of govern
ment aid and backing into bet
ter and more valuable improve
ments and enterprises that
would not only benefit the whole
people, but increase the produc-
tiveness of our country. In the
