new mexico PLANS
ANOTHER NOTE TO POWERS
OUTLINING POLICY.
THE DETAILS ARE WITHHELD
The Administration at Washington
Still Hopes for a Peaceful Settle
ment-May Ask Another
Election.

Washington, D. C.-Secluded in his
own private office in the White House,
President Wilson worked for consid-
cradle time on what promises to be
the most important state document is
sued by this government in the last
decade 1t is to be an open declara-
ton to the nations of the world of
what they can expect from the United
States in Mexico
With all of the papers prepared by
the State Department at his disposal,
the President was making up his mind
how to end the admittedly intolerable
situation south of the Rio Grande.
He has promised the various for
eign governments that a definite pol
icy will be enunciated. In making
this promise he made it clear to at
least three of them, England, France
and Germany, that the United States
would resent any outside interference
with its program.
President Wilson has under consid-
Grafton a new plan for restoring peace
in Mexico, which he will discuss with
his cabinet and make it public within
a few days.
Officials were reticent as to what IS
contemplated. AS the OnlCeu SldleS
has asked not only the European gov
ernments, but those of Latin-America
and the Orient, to withhold the form
ulation of their policy toward Mexico
until the Washington government can
make known its plans for dealing with
the situation, the solution upon which
the President and Secretary Bryan
are working is believed to be more
than any suggestion heretofore made
for the pacifcation of the southern
republic.
The inability of the Huerta govern
ment to conduct a constitutional cleo
ton, it is thought, will lead, the Amer
lean government to suggest a method
of holding the elections in which safe
guards and guarantees can be given
which will permit the constitutional
lists to participate freely. Diplomats
believe that before suggestions con-
corning any election can be carried
out the elimination of Huerta from
the situation must be accomplished.

WILSON At MOBILE
PRESIDENT ADVISES LATIN-AMER-
ICA TO VALUE LIBERTY
ABOVE ALL ELSE.
MANY DIPLOMATS PRESENT
Mr.. Wilson Told His Audience That
the United States Would Pro-
tect and Aid South Ameri-
can Countries.

Mobile, Ala-While avoiding any
mention specifically of Mexico, or any
European influence connected with
the Mexican situation, President Will
sons speech here appeared to be
freighted with significance and served
to point with further directness the
policy of the United States not only
toward Mexico, but toward all Central
and South American republics. He
spoke before a big audience at the
Southern Commercial Congress.
The President smil1ngIy took his
hearers into his confidence when he
explained he must speak with mod
Grafton and without indiscretion.''
A score of South American diplo-
mats sat just behind the President
while he spoke and many of his re-
marks were addressed in conversa-
tional tones to them. There were
those in the audience who thought the
President might take advantage of
the opportunity afforded by his speech
here to say something regarding the
Mexican crisis. He, however, spoke
only in general terms, but many O.
his sentences were pointed with a
meaning so clear as to leave little
doubt of their intent.
Material interests''-a phrase much
in use internationally of late in char
acterizing the attitude of foreign ma
lions toward Mexico-frequently was
employed by the President. The
President declared that through mo-
tives of morality and not "expedi-
ercy," the United States desired to
help the Latin-American republics to
an emancipation from the subordina-
ton which has been inevitable tc for
eign enterprise.
The Presidents speech was uttered
with a confidence which bespoke the
dominant part the United States ex-
poets to play in the future of the
American republics. Not through any
idea of material interest" he care
fully explained. but through a love OF
the principle of constitutional liberty

SENSIBLE ACTION

Tho members of the Arkansas
 House of Representatives at Little
 Rock Tuesday killed bill that would
 have reduced the passenger rate on
 all trunk linz railroads operating ill
 this state to 2 1-2 cents per mile rom the present rate of 3 cents per mlle
 The House displayed it's good sense in doing ii and incidentally put big boost in financial circles of the East
 for Arkansas, for this is one of the states that has always been looked on as antagnostic to capital and espec- tally the railroad interests.
 The railroads are in large meas ure responsible for the rapid growth ard steady development of this state. Yes, in very large measure it is due to their continued efforts to develop the agricultural and live stock ln- trests of this state and they are bringing new settlers within its bord- CTS by the thousands. Great sums of money are being spent by the rall- roads for advertising purposes and special exhibit trains are being sent into other states to send the land buy CT and the home seeker ArkanSas- ward. There has been no let up of the campaigns by the railroads in Arkansas behalf The campaigns have been enlarged each year and the results obtained are evidenced on every side.
 Let's be fair and reasonable. Place your interests on a par with that of the railroad investor. Would it be pleasant and encougasing to you to know that your efforts were not being appreciated but on the other hand you were being legislated against and efforts made to reduce your revenues? Grant that the railroads are doing an excellent business. But look at the other side of it. Their Investments call for large expenditure of mon ey. Improvements are being made daily for the good of the service and the travelling public. Costly damage suits are being successfully fought against them in every court, new roll ing stock is made necessary and in a thousand and one other ways money is being spent by the Railroads.
 Arkansas has been too aiitagonistic to capital in the past. Encourage in vestments and keep down unfair leg islation and Arkansas will soon be one of the largest states in the Union.

H1INE BLUFF PROGRESS
 PROSPERITY
NOT BY A JUG FULL

The Graphic's repeated assertion that it has the largest circulation in the city of Pine Bluff and out of the our neighbor up the street. Now, don't let's lose our temper that way. It's undignified and not even enter taining. While attempting to betlittle the Graphics circulation our irascible friend does not attempt to give the Graphic's circulation. It matters not to lis where he claims to have secured his line on the Graphic"-we know they always have lines out, as evi- denced by certain incidents that have toen brought to our notice at different times
 The Postoffice is not on the Graph ie,s complimentary list-lt is one of the two hundred dead heads" on the Commercials list. If our sworn state ment were not true, the local Postof- flee would probably have accommo- datoi the Commercial and made trouble for the Graphic before now, Did you forget that we told you we used the express office. also to dis seminate the news of the day as well as through the Postoffice?
 We took the trouble to tell you this Wednesday morning.

As an instance hen the Graphic's last rate card was sdonted, the same was in the hands of the Commercials business man. ager before they had been delivered 10 our own business office and caus- ed the discharge of an employe of che Graphic job office. That kind oi "line-work' is not classy"

He has never done any work on lines of re- search or investigation that any one knows. In short he claims to have made the greatest discovery of the age, but nothing in his prev ou: work or present evidence supports that claim.
 He did not appear to be overjoyed that he had found the greates. boon to the human race, but he seemed very anxious to make money.
 To me there was very sad side of this interview. He took me into his private office and showed me large of letters, most of them from Amer ca.

ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF
 X "CANCER GERM"

Our readers may remember the sen- sational matter which recently ap- peared regarding D.. Friedman s tuberculosis cure in the form of a syndicate letter by a newspaper cor respondent. The preceding week the newspaper: had similar sens2t onal leter by the same writer concerning an alleged discovery of the cancer germ by Dr. Odin of Paris. On ac- count of this publicity, The Journal of the American Medical Association publishes this week an extract from a letter from Dr. Edwin Walker of Evansville, Ind. Dr Walker writes:
 One of my chief rea:ons for stopCing in Paris was to investi- gate the alleged cancer cure of pr. GastOn Odin, a report of which was published i'll newspapers ,'nrougaou the United States.

WHAT DOES TT MEAN!

Senator Clyde Going, of Poinsett, one of the brainest and most bril- liant of the younger members of the Arkansas senate, made touching ap- peal to his colleagues in the senate yesterday to permit him to retire from public service in that body and go home. that he might erase from his name the estain of an indictment that was recently returned against him by a Cross county grand jury and Which grows out of charge of alleged em- bezzlement of public funds by Former Treasurer Wood Hammett, of that county, at the same time declaring that he would not bring down upon the state senate any criticism by con- tinuing to serve in that branch of the legislative body. and that he Wo1ld not return until he had shown him. self to be the man his constituents believe him to be.
 The senators promptly declined to grant his request On the other hand they adopted a resolution in which they expressed themselves as haVlh@ implicit confidence in the integrity or their laborer in the senate and that they wanted him to remain until the end of the session. The resolution was unanimously adopted
 Senator Going arose to speak. He began feebly, showing that he was deeply affected by the kindness. and loyalty of his friends, and with his voice trembling and his eyes filled with tears. he sank back into his chalr and said "I thank you. 1t was ln- deed scene that everyone thoroughly appreciated. Mir Going could not help but create sympthy. It was the man lness of a man that was expressing itself in action, not in words.
 Senator Going, insofar as tho Graphic knows, and it has watched his career with d great deal of inter- est, enjoys the respect and conil- dence of his home people-among whom he was born and reared. He is young man, ambitious and honor- able. In his public acts in the senate he has manifested desire to do what he thinks is best and he usually is conscientious and fair. If his career in the senate is to be a criterion for his guilt or innocence of the charge filed against him, it is foregona con- clusion that he will establish his in nocence of any wrong doing with ease.
 General opinion at the capital is that the charge is not well founded, that there is politics behind it and that it was brought forth at this time to check him in his ambition. It looks as if Senator Going is to be one of the selections for the lieutenant governor ship and that certain politicians have an axe to grind in other words they don't want him in the governors chair
