A CLOSE WATCH
KEPT ON MEXICO
President Must Be Assured EleC-
ton Will Be Constitutional.
HUERrA'S DECISION PLEkSES
His Withdrawal Regarded As Due
To Lind's Suggestion.
Gamboa's Election
Doubted.

Washington, Sept. President
Wilson has taken the position that
the policy of moral suasion adopted
by the United States toward Mexico
had accomplished its two cardinal pur-
poses. ito obtain assurances that
there would be a constitutional elec-
tion and that Provisional President
Huerta would not be a candidate to
succeed himself
Advices received here describing in
detail the preparations being made for
the election of October 26 and stating
also that General Huerta would not be
candidate, but would support Freder-
leo Gamboa. Mexican Minister Of For
eign Affairs, the nominee OF the Catho-
lie party. encouraged President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan to believe that
the Huerta government was carrying
! out what the United States had EN-
phasiZed in the Lind negotiations as
the essential features of a satisfactory
settlement OF the revolutionary trou-
bles.
not be Immediately possible to judge
whether the processes of the election
are actually constitutional, and Will
withhold decision for some time as to
whether the choice of that election
will be recognized by the United
States.
\ The likelihood that foreign Govern
ments will await the judgment of the
United States before extending rec
ognition is being impressed upon the
Mexican authorities, it is said. with
view to insuring free choice. How
ever, doubt as to the value of the
coming election as expressing the will
of the Mexican people was cast by
constitutional headquarters here in
the issuance of a statement saying its
supporters, extending over many
Mexican States, would not go to the
polls.
Many persons, familiar with the
purposes OF the Administration here,
predicted that the next step in the
policy of the United States would be
an effort to show indirectly to the con-
stitutionalists the necessity of par
ticipating in the election.
Administration officials let it be
known that the United States was not
concerned with the personnel of the
candidates beyond its opposition to
General Huerta's continuation in
power-a position justified in their
minds because of his irregular as
sumption of authority and overthrow
of Madero. This attitude was declar-
ed necessary to further the cause of
stable government in Latin-America.
a feeling of relief that the situation
was adjusting itself is apparent here.
From high Administration officials
came the statement that, while no
change in orders had been sent to
consuls about Americans leaving Mex
leo, the disposition of President Will
son always had been to leave the ques-
tion entirely to the discretion of the
Americans in Mexico still urging those
in the trouble zones to depart and Of

others engaged in no social activities
And this was his finding, that every
type had its failures and its sue,

more than another type which sue

not go in for evangelistic preaching
more than for ritualistic ceremonies.

the man in the pulpit who drew men.
Where men were found there was
found real personality in the
preacher. In every case among all
these varied types the human factor
in the ministry either drew or failed
to draw men," In this connection II
should be stated that Dr. Matthews

those of us who know him realize
that he is in many ways an unusual

GIRLS NEEDED
ON THE FARM
Vigorous Plea Made at the
National Congress.
WHY THE BOYS DO NOT STAY
Secretary OF Agriculture OF Ohio Says
Poor Cooking Is Sending More
Men To Hades Than
the Saloon.

Plano, Ill.-A resolution demanding
an amendment of the federal banking
laws providing for the establishment
OF rural banks which viii have funds
that may be loaned farmers for long
periods at a nominal rate of interest
was adopted today BY the resolutions
committee OF the Farmers National
Congress in session here.
The resolution was drafted by a sub
committee composed of II. e. Stock
bridge, of Georgia; Frank G. Odell, Of
Nebraska, and Mrs. Marshall Holt, Of
California.
Another resolution rebuked the
banking interests which seek to
fasten their own rural credit system
on the people The Capitalization of
banking power was also assailed The
discussions were greatly enlivened by
an address of A. p. Sendell Secretary
Of Agriculture for Ohio who declared
that the cultivation OF woman is d
bigger job today than the making of
poor ground yield
I'VE cant keep the boys on the
farm, - he said, unless we keep the
girls there.
Modern education must not take
away the cornerstone. Of motherhood.
The present price OF women's hearts
and poor cooking are sending more
men to Hades than all the saloons
Good cooking, good baking, sewing and
the other arts of our mothers are
necessary to make the home a decent
place in which to live.
Our statistics show that three
fcurths of the convicts in the Ohio
penitentiaries are men who went from
the country to the city. In the girls
reformatory there are ten girls who
came from the country to one who

When farmers in the States east OF
the Missouri river have learned to re
store their sour and poor fields by
scientific fertilizing, they need no
longer fear competition from abroad,
Joseph +. Wing, of Mechanlcsburg, O.,
told agriculturists. The financing of
this general soil enrichment could be
done after same plan formulated by
the American commissioners who
have made a study of the agricultural
credit systems of Europe, he asserted.
The farmers must learn the basic
principles of soil fertility Mr.. Wing
said American soils are not, east
OF the Missouri river, by nature filled
with the amount of lime that they
need, and they also are deficient in
phosphorus. When we have learned
TO satisfy the lime hunger of eastern
soil, then they will grow legumes.
When We have given them the phos-
phorus that they need then the
legumes makes meat cheaply"

TRAIN HELD Up
BY BOY BANDITS
Daring Robbery Successfully
Accomplished in Alabama.
NINE FORCED TO LINE UP.
In Most Approved style the Two
Youths Stopped the Express Train
BY Showing the Danger Signal
and Awed Engineer.

Cottondaie, Ala.-Two mere boys
were the bandits who rifed the mail
car and dynamited the express safe
on Alabama Great Southern train, No
I, near this place and escaped with
booty yariously estimated at from a
few hundred to fifty thousand dollars.
In the search for the bandits Deputy
Sheriff James Bonner, of Birmingham,
was shot and killed by a member Of
another posse from Montgomery, who
mistook Bonner for one of the robbers.
After stopping the train at Bibb-
Vile Siding at 1890 A. NJ. by means of
a block danger signal the young ban
dts. with drawn reyolyers, forced the
engineer, fireman, express messenger
and six mail clerks TO leave their
engine and cars and line up at the side
of the track. The robbers then com
PEELED one Of the trainmen to detach
the engine, express and mail cars,
whereupon the bandits boarded the
locomotive, and with one robber at
the throttle drove the front part of
the train several miles down the track,
where the express safe was blown to
bits with dynamite and the registered
mail pouches were rifled.
The robbers then threw open the
throttle of the engine, leaped to the
ground and escaped with their booty
into the swamps, while the runaway
engine and express and mail cars
dashed on down to the track through
several towns, until the steam in the
engine was exhausted and the run
away train came to stop at Engle-
wood, Ala.
Trainmen who witnessed the hold
up said they believed the robbers were
well paid for their daring.
One of the trainmen told the follow
ing story of the hold-up:
The train was stopped by means of
a danger block system, which had been
tied so that the red danger signal
faced the train. AS soon as Engineer
Daniels saw the signal he stopped the
train, only to be confronted with a
brace of revolyers in the hands of
an 1Syear-old boy. He was made to
leave the train with his fireman.
Il. Pool. the express messenger, was
eating his lunch at the time the two
robbers entered his car The messen-
ger said to them: Go away from
here or ! will throw this hot coffee on
you" As he made motion to carry
out his threat a bullet famed his cheek
so closely that he fell to the floor
under the impression that he had been
shot. Six mail clerks We're made to
leave their coach and stand on the
right of way with their hands up
Then the bandits forced the porter to
cut the two front coaches and engine
from the sleepers. The front section
pulled away from the other section
with one of the bandits at the throttle.
Conductor Cook already had gone
through the sleeper locking the doors,
arousing the passengers and advising
them to hide their yaluables. With
the throttle wide open the runaway
train passed station after station until
it stopped at Englewood, when the
engine went dead"

They are so valuable and illuminating
that a few of the replies are given
here. The Rev. DR.. W. A. Andrews of
Seattle gives the following reasons for
his full house" He says in part:
q. This church has been filled for
nearly eleven years. Most of the time
it is crowded and scores and hundreds
have been turned away. The evening
audiences number anywhere from
$500 to $500. We can only seat about
5000 The rest have to stand or be
crowded out. The audience has in it
from So to 70 per cent of men. 2. The
results accomplished are entirely due
to the operations of the Holy Spirit.
We pray much, expect much and get
much. 3. The pure, simple gospel is
preached. Sinai and Calvary are held
up to the people. The vicarious atone
ment is emphasized; the sacrifice of
Christ is presented daily; his deity
and his mediatorial work are kept be-
fore the people. The whole gospel,
and nothing but the gospel, is preach
ed. 4. We make the gospel apply to
every condition, circumstance and
point Of mans life. We deal with
his social, domestic, commercial, po-
litical and civic life, with the gospel,
and only the gospel. 5. Every serv-
ice is an evangelistic service. We
never preach the gospel or finish a
sermon without making an appeal for
immediate decisions and confessions
of Christ At every service we urge
men to accept Christ and join the
church. 6. We do not have a ser
monette after a long musical pro-
gram of questionable ecclesiastical

must be used, but that program is
kept in its minor place. The sermons
