Trenton, June 16.-Printlng sam

the Marston place was burglarlzed.
Among his effects he had a 81 900

Uncle Ike is one Of the few ''o!d

but are loyal and faithful to the

boyhood days. In Uncle Ike is dem
onstrated the possibility Of industry

NcReyn0ldS' Removal.

There is being agitated the re-
moval Of Attorney General McRey-
nOlds from office. This movement is
credited to the Antitrust League,
which has charged, in substance,
that President Wilson had instruct
ed Attorney General McReynolds to
demand a public hearing on the
court decree before the order was
entered, but that McReynolds,
through G. Carroll Todd, had yield
ed to the opposition Of the railroad
lawyers and had waived the demand
for a public hearing.
The members Of the league, as re
ported, aver they can produce evil
dence against Mr. McReynolds OF
such damaging nature that the
President will be forced by public
opinion to retire him from Office.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Boil Weelii Damage-Drouth Acute
in Some Sections-Good Progress.

New Orleans Picayllne August 25:
IIe past week has developed sener-
ally favorable weather over tn,
greater portion Of The cotton belt,
although it has brought little reli"t
to the drOuth conditions prevailing
in the western portion. In Texas
and Oklahoma some rain has fallen,
but so far not enough to meet re-
uuirements, and as result the cot
ton crop in those States has dete-
riOrated, and it is doubtful ii even
good rams could restore the prom
iSe that existed prior to the time
the drouth became acute. Tn other
portions Of HE belt The crop is
making favorable progress, though
rain will now be welcome III some
States. Boil Wecyil damage is more
extensively complained Of than
heretofore this season, but on the
whole cotton is in satisfactory con-
litiOn outside OF the drOulh belt.
Owing to the hot, dry weather,
cotton is maturing fast all over
FeXas and picking is being pushed
rapidly. The gins are also reported
working overtime, but the mar
keting of the crop is not up to cX-
pectations, owing to the fact that
exports are proving rather disap-
pointing owing to the apparent de-
sire of foreign buyers to hold off
for easier prices.
The corn crop is doing finely all
over the South except in the drouih
areas of the Western States. A par
ticularly good crop of corn is be-
ing raised in Louisiana and in the
Mississippi valley, which will be OF
great help to farmers owing to the
high prices that now prevail and
are likely to prevail for some time
for corn and other feed.
The weather Of the past week has
been favorable for harvesting rice
and farmers have rushed matters as
much as possible, with the resul
that the cereal has been coming to
market freely Good yields are re
ported and producers are satisfied
with the prices that have been re
ceived.
In the sugar district the weather
has been ideal. o

1T Was True Week Ago but Tn

About a week ago there was pro-
duced considerable excitement over
the tearing up Of the Greenwood

against this proceeding Of The Irac-
ton Company, but the excitement

ignored deliberately. This morning
there came another report that the
Greenwood road Was being dug
up" which is mol true. Why should
any one complain? Why should
any objection be suggested or urged
against he Traction Company?
Have not the citizens OF Shreveport
by an overwhelming majority grant
cd to This company all that it want
ed? And if there is anything else
visible that this company may want
would they not give il away for the
asking? 1t is therefore sen~cless
0 raise any objection to the dig
2ing up of the Greenwood rO5a

a double track service to the Fair
grounds? AS far as We are con
cerncd this corporation may reach

the women and children Why not
What's NIe use of fllSSing over the

extend the service into the Fair

is not sufficient. LET 'rm have more

Take an old speckled hen that had

then chased out of the garden by a

Better Than Being Leader in
Society.


Louisiana Democrats: 1t is better
to have the reputation Of paying
your honest debts than of being a
leader in society. All the glory OF
social life can not compensate for
tile ignominy Of getting through on
false pretenses. The Wretchedness

sake Of display, is hunted day and

cut as great a sweep or attract as
much attention, but it will last
longer and bring them much reward

The Presidents Mcssaqs DELAYED.

President Wilson did not read his
message to Congress today on the
Mexican situation, as had been an
tlclpated. 1t has been postponed
until tomorrow. It is surmiseu that
Huerta has expressed a desire to re
consider his attitude already made
public, which in brief is his decli-
nation Of The plan suggested by
President Wilson to reach a peace
full solution of the troubles in
Mexico.
At a conference held Monday
night with President Wilson and the
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the House and the
Senate, the policy of the United
states on being outlined was heart-
ly approved.
Whatever be the reason for the
pOstponement Of the Presidents 5
message, the significant fact is that
President Wilson has secured every
advantage of a situation threaten
.ngly critical at one time.
The departure from Mexico City
Of Governor Lind has been an
nounced. AS his mission reached

States is in The order, agrceably TO

loss OF life and property among
Americans and other foreigners in

unpaid soldiers are mutinous. IN
less he finds money for them they
will put him to death and Join, the

money and money alone keeps the
Federal troops loyal to lhc admin

IF Huerta can not pay these SOL
diers and can not find enough
money to run the government, and
there seems to be no way in which
ne may, then his administration is
doomed and he himself can not es-
cape death, except by fleeing the

Mrs. owen Kildare. one OF the best OF
the suffragists' corps Of speakers, So
cial worker, author and student Of So
ciology, explained the "antis'' away at
a large meeting held In Falls Church,
Va, last night. before much the same
audience that heard Representative
Tom Heffiin's attack there upon equal
suffrage several days ago.
She accused the "antis'' OF inconsis-
tency. They deplore the use of the
coming Inauguration as a conveyance for
propaganda foreign to this solemn oc-
casion. Yet they themselves are guilty
of the same offense. They say that the
home Is woman's place. yet they are
leaving their homes to work against us
here in Washington. They say that the
American man is chivalrous and can be
trusted to best represent the interests of
women. yet they attack the plan OF the
suffragists to let girls sell literature on
the streets because they say that the
American man will insult them. Is this
consistency"
1--WE merely ask the right to help the

deavoring to oppose them. We want to
assist in the national housekeeping: we
have a fine national establishment and

have come to Washing
ton TO oppose an inevitable progression.
For their action they are more to be

sists that all things can be made good. ="

describe the conditions in Central Mexico
as verging on anarchy.
Our reasons for thus returning to the
United States" said Mr. Stantcn. was
that our trip over the Mexican Central
Railroad was terminated by rowing
bandit organizations. We had proceeded
n few miles out OF Ventura, which is
some distance south of Salt!lio, when our
train was halted by a coniagration just
ahead
1T proved to be a burning freight
train. and the minute our train halted.
We, too. were peppered with a fusillade
from the bandits. The shots were d.
rected chiefly at the engineer. but the
driver stuck to his post and backed the
train away. As the train gained mo-
mertum we were told to lie down On the
floor of the coaches and made the run
without Casualties.
THE bandits were mounted and kept
firing as long as they could keep within
range of the train. Consul Holland at
Saltillo has persistently advised Amer
