Policy Till Be One Of Peace.

Washington, Aug. 27-President
Wilson laid before the world the de-
tails of the United States efforts to
bring about peace in Mexico, the facts
concerning Huerta's rejection of the
peace proposals, and the policy to be
pursued by this government.
The president announced the posi-
ton of the United States to be as fol-
lows:
No armed intervention.
Strict neutrality forbidding the ex
nortation of arms or munitions OF
war of any kind form the United
States to any part of the republic OF
Mexico.
Under no circumstances to ''be the
nartisans of either party to the con-
test that now distracts Mexico or con-
ctirute ourselves the virtual umpire
between them"
To urge all Americans to leave
Mexico at once and to assist them to
get away in every way possible.

sumes to exercise authority kno"

intention of letting go OF what he has
grabbed. The fact probably is that
he is obliged to hold on, in order to
prolong his own existence. He has
created a desperate situation and the
moment he reljnquishes power he
would be likely to snare the fate Of
his victims. If he agrees to step
down, he will need a strong escort
to protect him as he is hurried out of
the country. If the truth were
known, perhaps he wishes he were
safe on American soil. The furies
are on his trail.'

President Wilson delivered his
message to congress on Wednesday
on the Mexican situation. 1t would
seem that President Huerta would be
glad to accept the terms made by
President Wilson and no doubt he
would if he could with safety to him
self. The Columbia Record has the
following comment on the situation
and we agree with the Record:
Provisional President Huerta would
no doubt be glad to accept President
Wilson's terms if he could do so with
safety to himself, but he is in the
position of the man who got tail
hold on the bear and who could Meth
er hold on or let go mis- hold. Having
obtained power by bloodshed and
treachery, ne cannot relinquish it
without danger of being treated to
his own medicine. The desperation
of his situation is illustrated by the
summary execution Friday night of
Serapio Rendon, a member of the
Mexican Chamber of Deputies, follow
ing that of Deputy Bordes Mangel
two days before
These executions are supposed to
have been deliberately planned to
terrorize other members of congress
which convenes next month, says
the Baltimore Sun. "They do not
seem to indicate that Huerta has any

Yes, Make it Statewide.

TIE State, 23rd.
R. H. Welch, member of the Rich
land delegation, suggested yesterday
that the appropriation for the eradi-
cation of the cattle tick sought by
the Columbia Chamber of Commerce
should be made an item in the county
supply bill. Mr.. Welch said that it
seemed to him that inasmuch as some
counties would be without the tick
and not given perhaps to stock rails
ing the appropriation should not be
Statewide. He said that if it ap-
peared that Richland county had need
of an appropriation he would vote
for it.
The Chamber of Commerce resolu-
ton, passed Wednesday afternoon by
the board of directors, calls for an
appropriation of not exceeding s4O,-
900 for the whole State. Secretary
Clark was not prepared yesterday to

gestion would be accepted by the

farmer would prepare for it there is
no doubt it could be done proftaoly
Many vegetables are shipped in from
other places that could be grown pro-
ftably right here in Newberry and
then they would be so much better
than vegetables pulled before they
are ripe and shipped in from other

We notice that the board of direc-
tors of the penitentiary have decided
to let the convicts to the counties to
be worked on the public roads when
the hosiery mill closes down on the

next session will provide for the

that this government shall vigilant-

leans who can not get away and shall
! hold those responsible for their suf-
ferings and losses to a definite reck-
oning." :,
THAT can and will be made plain
beyond the possibility Of misunder-
standing" declared the president.
Negotiations for the friendly med
iation Of the United States are open
to resumption at any time upon eth
er the initiative of this government
or Of Mexico
Accompanying the presidents ad-
dress was the reply of the Huerta
government rejecting the American
proposals. 1t was written by Foreign
Minister Gamboa. 1t suggested tie
following alternative policy for the
United States:
Reception of a Mexican ambassa-
dor in Washington.
That the United States send new
ambassador to Mexico without re-
straints.
Strict observance of the neutrality
laws and so to it that no material
or monetary assistance is given to j..
the rebels"
Unconditional recognition of the
Huerta government.

duty without reservation to lay be-
fore congress all t1e facts concern
Ing the relations Of the United States
with Mexico" the president outlined
with the United States had done "as
friend and neighbor." Asserting
that this nation was glad to call it
self the friend of Mexico, and hoping
for many future occasions to show
that disinterested friendship, the
president declared that 1--WE shall yet
prove to the Mexican people that we
know how to serve them without first
thinking how we snail serve our
selves"
Describing Mexican conditions and
the events that led up to the nego--
tiations just concluded, President
Wilson, outlined how "war and disor-
der, devastation and confusion seem
to threaten to become the settled for
tune of the distracted country" AS
friends, he said, this country could
wait no longer for solution Of
things in the sister republic.
He then outlined the position this
government should take. Concluding
his address, the president predicted
that the STEADY pressure Of moral
force will before many days break
the barriers of pride and prejudice
down, and we shall triumph as Mex
ico's friends sooner than we could
triumph as her enemies"
senor Gamboa's note, which was
appended to the presidents address
as an exhibit, was not read by the
president, but was furnished to con-
gress as a printed document.

GREAT HAZARD IN ART.
Many Artists of Skill Who Scarcely
Make a Living.

In art, as in most other profess
sions, the "plums'' fall into the hands
of the few. The Sargent or Herk-
omer may make his $4,000 in twelve
months by his brushes; Mr.. "Dauber, "
who started mis- career with equal
promise, may barely earn the check
that pays his frame-maker's bill.
Jean Francois Millet lived and
died peasant, though he could wear
the ribbon of the Legion Of Honor.
1t was the proudest day of his life
when he received $3.50 for the can
gelus," which genration later was
sold for S116,130 at, the Secretan SALE
John Crome was glad to pocket dol
lar apiece for pictures, any one Of
which would be snapped up today for
hundreds of dollars. George Morland
parted with many masterpieces for
the price of an evening carouse; and
Rembrandt's canvases are valued to-
day at twenty million dollars-yet he
left nothing to his heirs beyond MS
clothes and his paint brushes.
And who will say that these magi-
clans of the palette we're less sh ful
than the Orchardsons and Alma
Tademas of later years, whose can
vases with the paint scarcely dry on
them we're exchanged for $4,000 or
$4,000 each; tnan Frank Holl, who
painted 100000 worth of portraits in
a single year; of Landseer, whose es-
tate was sworn at $SOO,OOO?
Today the painting of pictures, for
nineteen artists out of twenty, is a
costly hobby, which leaves little mar
gin for even such modest luxury as
marmalade. For every score of can
vases that are fit to adorn the walls
of Burlington house there is barely
one purchaser, and he has keen
eye to bargain.
Take two typical cases known to
the writer. Both men are highly
trained artists, whose acadamy pic
lures are seldom branded with the ia
tai or" One of these men confess
ed that he had barely $500 to show
as the net result of two thousand
hours of industry last year. The 9TH
er, who had a canvas 'on the line"
before. he saw his twenty-first birth
day, was glad to sell his latest pic
ture, the fruits of six months work
for less than it's frame cos.
The picture buyer of today has
very decided views as to what he
wants. Give him a bright landscape,
seascape or garden scene, with plen-
ty of color and he is willing to pay
for this own price. Problem pic
lures, historical canvases, he won't
look at.
But, sold or unsold the pictures
are equally costly to produce. There
may be little change out of the dollar
for one days paints and models
alone. Many a canvas, on which
months of work has been lavlshed,
and which may go-if at all-in ex-
change for a s25 note, has cost from
$3.50 to $3.50 for materials.
One able artist told the writer: i
pay just under $500 year for my
studio. I years models, costumes
etc., costs me quite another $500; l
pay from S35 to $50 for frame. One
way or another, I spend S1,25O in the
twelve months, and thus earn net
income at which many clerks would
turn up their noses
And this man is one of the lucky
ones, outside the pale of the special
ly favored few.

telegrams to the embassy and all con-
sular representatives, quoting ex-
tracts from President Wilson's ad-
dress to congress today, in which he
reviewed the futile peace negotiations
with the Huerta government and the
policy the United States would pur-
sue hereafter towards Mexico.
| In these messages the eonsuls were
instructed to render every aid pos
sible to departing Americans, furnish
ing transportation and any other pc
cuniary assistance to the needy. They
were informed that sufficient num-
Der of ships would be provided to
carry away those in the seacoast
towns.
Help to Foreigners.
/ Foreign governments will be noti-
fed of the action Of the United States
so that they may give advices, but the
American consuls will help all for
! eig1ers in any emergency.
Within a day or two an announce
ment is expected of the mobilization
of large numbers of American troops
along the Southern frontier to en-
force neutrality in the traffic of. arms
and munition of war. President Will
son was in touch with Assistant Sec
retary Breckenridge of the war de-
partment tonight, but the nature Of
his communication was not revealed.
1t is believed the president not
only is preparing to strengthen the
border patrol, but desires to have the
strictest vigilance by troops already
watching the international boundary.
Secretary Garrison of the war depart
ment, it was announced tonight, will
I.be in New York next Wednesday to
confer with Francis Burton Harrison,
but it was said at the White House
that his return to- the East from his
Western inspection trip was not
prompted by any prospective troop
movement.
Another Note.
First results of the presidents
optimism were apparent tonight when
Secretary Bryan announced the re-
ceipt of a message from John LIND,
now at Vera Cruz, saying the Senor
Gamboa, Mexican minister of for
eign affairs, had sent new note. Sec
retary Bryan described the situation
as Encouraging" and commented on
the fact that he had for several days
used the word unchanged
The president was Informed OF the
late Developments, but offered no
comment. He was particularly pleas
ed tonight with his reception in con-
gress. Not only from the. applause
that greeted him as he began his ad-
dress and at it's conclusion, but
through personal congratulations,
President Wilson was assured that ne
had behind him the undivided sup
port of congress, irrespective of po-
litical party.
The president had an informal talk
with Senator Root Republican
leader, in the speakers room just be-
fore he was escorted to the house
rostrum and learned that the New
York senator soon would make a
speech in support of the administra-
tons policy.
