SECRET OF NEWSPAPERS POWER

An Independent and ably edited
newspaper that commands a great cir
culation is probably the most potent
influence for good in the United
States today.
The power for the better things in
public affairs and policies, for in
stance, welded by such a newspaper
as The Chicago Record-Herald can
scarcely be exaggerated, and much of
that strength comes in the case of
this leading Chicago daily from the
fact that it is absolutely independent,
fearless and fair. 1t is not the mouth
piece of any interest except that Of
the public. Here is the true secret
of the power of the press. No news
paper has very much real power over
men and events unless it is known to
be standing s~teadfastly and sanely
for the public good-for the welfare
Of the community and nation-for pub
lie honesty and a square deal, what
ever happens.
The Chiago Record-Herand cham
pions the cause of the good, the clean,
the beneficial in every matter of city,
state or national moment. 1t is the
knowledge on the part of it's readers
that 1t cares not whom it hits or
what enemies it makes, so long as it
is battling for the public good, which
! gives to The Record Herald most of
the wide influence it yields. This pub
licspirited editorial policy also per.
meates its news and critical columns
The most complete and impartial ne.
ports Of the doings of both great politi.
cal parties to be found anywhere,
year in and year out, will be found in
The Chicago Record-H Herald.

Great interest has been aroused in
the northwestern part of South Da-

inasmuch as the raising of stock still
is the principal industry of this Sec

clubs of that part of the state have
joined in the clamor for a reduction.
Dawes E. Brisbine, an attorney and
president of the Isabel Commercial
Club, has been in Washington the last
three weeks endeavoring to have the
rates lowered, especially on sheep,
but, as vet, the department has taken
no definite steps. However, 1t has
been assured that there will be a ma
terial reduction and, in all probability,
the homesteaders will be greatly bene-
fitted thereby, as the interior depart
ment has shown a disposition to favor
the small stockman and the actual
settler. The department has under
consideration a reduction which would
allow every man to Craze the first 100
head of stock free.

NATIONAL FORESTS ABLAZE.
Destructive Fires in California Re
ported to Service Bureau.

Forest service officials here. who have
been pleased over the fact that the fire
loss in the national forests SO far this
year had been unusually light, were
somewhat cast down today at telegraphic
reports which just reached them from
California Headquarters telling of severe
fires now burning on national forests in
that state. The present fire situation in
the southern part Of the state. the tele-
gram says, is worse than In 1910 the
year of greatest disaster to the forests.
Capt James b. Adams. acting forester.
says the news was not surprising, even
though all of the national forests had
recently reported the practical closing of
the fire season. In California there is a
longer summer dry season than in any
other part of the west. he said. and the
cumulative effect of the drought, coupled
with usual winds, storms and lightning.
has made the situation unparalleled in
the history of national forest admins

MEXICAN L|BERALSSEEK
TOPOSTPONE ELECTION
Action May Be Taken in Con.
gress ShortIy-Carranza
Possible Candidate.

MEXICO CITY, September 27-That
the liberals in congress intend to make
an effort to bring about a postponemen,
OF the elections is the indication in po-
litical circles here
At caucus of leaders of the liberals
it is said to have been decided to frame
bill for presentation in the near future
alleging that the condition of the coun-
try will prevent the holding of fair cleo
tions. and proposing a postponement until
some time during the coming year-prob-
ably July.
Believed Liberals Could Win.
On the showing made short time ago
when division of the liberals and Catho-
lies took place on the question of ac-
cepting the resignation as a member OF
the house of Senior Tamarz SO that he
might accept the appointment of min
lister of public instruction, the liberals
if they stand together on the proposed
measure, will find little difficulty, it is
generally believed, in carrying through
"a measure for postponement.
On the division of the house on the
question OF TamariZ's resignation the
vote was approximately five to one in
favor of the liberals. The old liberal
element which existed under Madero
counts now upon the Madero followers
in congress, who, there appears little
doubt, will line up with the opposition
to the Catholic element.
Carranza May Be Candidate.
VERA CRUZ, September "a news
paper dispatch received here says that
the rebels in Hermosillo are planning to
accept President Huerta's promise of a
free and open election and enter a
ticket with Gen. Venustiano Carranza as
candidate for president and Ignacio
Pesquiera for vice president. Cen Car
rama is one Of the chief rebel leaders
and Pesquiera his trusted lieutenant.
Advices that the third division of the
United States Navy will arrive in Next
can waters November 4 have revived the
hopes of officers and men now on duty
here that they soon will be relieved II
is believed that Rear Admiral Fletcher
will remain in command, however owing
to his close touch with the situation.
