Great Britain, Germany and France
withhold Action.
WAIT FOR ELECTION RETURNS
Nations Must Unite 20 Rid Country
of Huerta should No Presi-
dent BE Elected-Diaz
FIees.

washington, Oct. 29.-Three Eu'
ropean nations, Great Britain, Ger
many and France, have agreed to
adopt no new policy toward Mexico
until the government OF the United
States can submit for their consid-
GRAFTON a definite plan for the fu-
ture treatment of the revolution
torn republic in Central America.
That a request OF the powers to
await a proposal regarding Mexico
from this government had been
made and that the three great Eu-
ropean nations had yielded, was
announced by Secretary Bryan.
President Wilson was en- route to
Washington from the south when the
announcement was made and the
secretary of state did not indicate
what would be the nature OF the
contemplated negotiations with the
foreign governments.
When the note to the powers is
70 be presented has not been deter
mined, but the belief prevails that
reasonable time will be given for
the announcement from the Huerta
government in Mexico of the result
of last Sundays election for a new
government. That this announce
ment will be that the election Of a
new president had failed because OF
the insufficiency of the vote and 1t
Is believed President Wilson and his
advisers are proceeding on the
theory that some concerted effort
must be made by all the govern
ments interested in Mexico to rid
that nation OF the domination OF
General Huerta.
Though interest in this develop
ment overshadowed all else in Off
cial circles here, the flight of Gen.
oral Felix Diaz from Vera Cruz to
refuge on the American gunboat
wheeling was much discussed and
Rear Admiral Fletcher was notified
by Secretary Bryan that political
refugees can be shielded only tenn
porariTy.
Admiral Fletcher who is in COM
mand of the American ships in Mex
acan waters. notified the Washing
ton office early in the day that Diaz,
with two Mexican companions and
m American newspaper man had
been granted the right Of asylum
ON the Wheeling after pleading that
their lives were endangered.

Panama Canal Emancipates

Latin-American States.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 28.-''The Unit
ed States will never seek another
foot OF territory by conquest, and
she must see to 1t that no other
nation does 1t on this hemisphere. I"
That flat declaration of American
policy was made here by President
Wilson. 1t was voiced when the
president, opening the Southern
Commercial congress, hailed the
completion of the Panama canal as
"the emancipator from foreign con-
troll of the Latin-American states"
"And we ought to be first" he
added, ''in assisting in their eman-
cipation. They have been driven to
hard bargains, but in the future we
will draw closer and closer to them
on terms of friendship and equality.
for that is the only bond possible
between us. Any other is not only
degrading to them, but also shows
us narrow"
Mr.. Wilson referred to Mexico in
these words:
"Our real relationship with our
neighboring republics should be a.
relationship of family of mankind
devoted to the relations from which.
human liberty springs. We have
seen material interests threaten
constitutional liberty in America, SO
we know how to sympathize. would
rather belong to a poor nation that
Is free than a rich nation which has
ceased to love freedom. Morality and
not expediency is the thing that
must guide us and we must never
condone iniquity."

MAY BUILD own
STOCK YARDS
Railroads Object to Switching Charge
Of Subsidiary.
UTILITIES COMMISSION HEARS
Kansas City Connecting Railway
Asks for Permission to Issue
One Million in Stocks
for Tracks.

Topeka, Oct. 25.-A threat that
the railroads entering Kansas City
would build their own stock yards
rather than pay a switching charge
to the Kansas City Connecting rail-
way, a proposed stock yards sub
sidiary, for handling stock in the
Kansas City stock yards, was made
in the hearing before the Kansas
utilities commission. The hearing
was on the application OF the Kan
sas City Connecting Railway for
permission to transact business as
public utility and to issue mil
lion dollars in stock for the present
tracks in the yards and to raise
funds for improving the switching
facilities.
The railroads are opposed to alb
sorbing any switching or trackage
charges. They regard the Kansas
City stock yards as simply an in
dustrial plant, and whatever serv-
ices are needed to facilitate business
within the yards should be done by
the stock yards company without
cost to the railroads.
When the stockmen who came to
for the hearing saw the
railroads were going to refuse to
absorb the extra ch"rye, they held
q meeting and adopted a resolution
opposing the grant.

HELPFUL WORK OF THE
KANSAS WELFARE LEAGUE

Editor Reflector: l presume most
of your readers are familiar with
the words welfare league" but
possibly to good many of them as
it has been with myself they did
not convey any very definite mean
ing. In order to give a more def
mite understanding / submit here
with few clippings from an adj
dress by Rev. j. T. Hanson, presi-
dent of the league:
Every boy and girl should have
the right to grow and develop into
manhood and womanhood under the
most favorable environment posi-
BILE. The unnecessary evils-that is
evils condoned or supplied by the
community should be prohibited
and thus removed from the path Of
the child, and in their place the
wholesome and constructive sup
piled. The social life of the child
today is very largely what the COM
munity makes 1t. The home has
never held so small a place in its
direct and dominant bearing on the
child. The social atmosphere and
in the life Of the youth
today is very largely Influenced II
not wholly dominated by the COM
amusement world. When
a careful study is made of the in
fluences imminent from this source
It is quite apparent what the newt
able must be.
1.-THE child Is not family prob
Iem-concern-only, but a commun-
ty-social- problem as well. So
siety has long exercised the prerog-
alive of intervening when the child
or individual has become a menace
IN the community, exercising it's
superseding that of the
parents Of the family. Would. it not
,e wiser, more kind and Christian,
Is well as more effective protec-
ion for society, if that prerogative
vas exercised by the community in
'ehalf of the child to protect it from
,oing wrong, rather than to stand
by and wait until it has
,one wrong before intervening?
"Our most serious business must
e that Of prevention rather than
ure, to prevent the crime rather
han prosecute the criminal We can
much better afford to spend a lit
lie money here, in constructive char
cter and BODYBUILDING, than the
luch larger amount now expended
4 handling and caring for the
'reckage under present conditions
his is the field entered and min
try undertaken by the public well
ire league"
Mr.. Hanson will be In Abilene
ext Sunday and the fore part OF
ext week and will fully explain
lie objects of the league and its
roposed methods of work in
,ries of public meeting. The first
III be mass meeting for men, at
me place to be announced later.
he league is not : UNCONVENTIONAL
! political organization but hopes
enlist the hearty support of all
,od citizens irrespective Of creed
! race. Mr.. Hanson would be
eased to have the attendance Of
cry man in Abilene next Sunday
8 o'clock. Announcements for
her meetings will be made as soon
arrangements can be made.
