The final vote in the house on the
passage of the Initiative and Refer
endum bill does not represent the real
sentiments of the members. Only seven
votes were recorded against the bill Oh
this vote. The acid test, however, was
on Browns amendment, which would
in effect abridge the right Of petition
guaranteed by the constitution Of the
United States. It may be nuisance to
have someone ask his neighbor to sign
a petition, but annoyances are almost
inseparable from the enjoyment Of free
government. In a despotism, with one
man to do the thinking and. ruling,
there would be no annoyances of this
kind, but in a republic, annoyances are
part Of the cost Of freedom. If the
Brown amendment had carried, it
would have been the signal for an
onslaught on the bill, which would have
emerged in poor shape. It is fortunate
for the cause Of direct Legislation that
the bill as presented by the COM
mittee on elections was endorsed. But
four democratic members Of them
Representative Vasaly of this dis
trict-voted against the dangerous
Brown amendment. Representative
Bouck voted for the amendment. The
house should stand firm on the bill,
and not allow its emasculation by the
senate. Better in this case no bill at
all than an unavoidable one, which
would disgust the people and be an
obstacle to direct legislation.

LUCK..

Some people say 1t wasn't luck that made
'em rich and proud.
They claim twas wisdom, work and pluck
that raised 'em from the. crowd!
don't deny that there's pile Of truth in
hat they say.
And yit it always makes me smile to hear
EN- talk that way.
For instance. there was Henry Wood
taught school here years ago.
His teachin wasn't any good. We had to
tell him so.
He tried to get another school, but couldn't
anywhere;
Directors thought he was fool and said
so plain and fair.
So, havin' nothin' else to do,
He wrote silly book or two,
Most mushy stuff I ever read,
But have lately heard it said
That Henry was a millionaire.
And there was John Tate's oldest son, 4
lazy, worthless chap. t..
When there was hard work to be done he
never helped his pap.
The old man drove him off at last-just
told him plain and fiat
That all the monlcN:i. was past. What
happened after that?
They say he's saltin' money down
And keeps six servants up in town.
He sells some kind of medicine
He guarantees to keep 'em thin
When women think they're gettin' fat.
Take them two fellers-was it pluck with
which they were endowed,
Or was it just bit Of luck that made 'em
rich and proud?
Take notice that I don't deny that work
and wisdom win,
But when you say that ends it, why-ex-
cuse me If grin.

broadly.

FOREIGNERS ARE IN PERIL
American Ambassador Is Furnishing
Protection.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Alarmed by
reports from Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson that the combatants in
Mexico City were turning their guns
in such direction as to increase the
danger to Americans and other for
eign residents the state department
hurriedly dispatched instructions to
Mr.. Wilson to warn all noncombatants
to keep out of the fighting zone.
Mr.. Wilson reported further. that
large numbers of Americans and
other foreigners, terrorized because
of the rain of bullets in the residen-
tial section, had sought protection at
the embassy and in that neighbor-
hood of the city. The ambassador
said he found places of refuge for
hundreds. The department empha-
sized to him the necessity of afford
ing refugees every comfort and pro-
lection within his power.

MADERO AND DIAz WILL
RESUME ENGAGEMENT
Seven.Hour Battle Takes Place
in the Very Heart Of
Mexico City.

Mexico City. Feb. 12.-The federals
and rebels fought a seven-hour battle
in the heart Of the city. When dark
ness put an end to the fighting Meth
er side appeared to have gained any
marked. advantage.
Estimates of the casualties run as
high as 1000, although accurate infor-
nation cannot be obtained at this
time. The dead certainly will be
counted by the hundreds.
Foreign residents for the most part
cans suffered from stray bullets. They
are Lloyd Osborne the author, who
was shot in the thigh; DR.. R. H. Nc
Crosson of Lincoln, Neb., and Mark
Johnson, negro, of Madison, Ill.
Artillery played the chief part in
the fighting, but rifle fire was kept
up continuously, through more or less
ineffectively. President Madero and
his ministers expressed satisfaction
with the work.
General Felix DiaZ, in his arsenal
stronghold, appeared as d1f1ant as at
any time since he was released from
prison by the mutinous soldiers and
promises a repetition of the terrific
bombardment, the fierceness of which
is attested by the many partially de-
stroyed structures within a radius of
half a mile.
+ The greatest loss of life resulted in
the charge of rurales, who, with dar-
ing amounting to foolhardiness, moved
against a rebel battery which moved
down men and horses almost to ex-
tinction.
Tries to Prevent Fighting.
The execution done in the prolonged
engagement was sufficient in the belief
of Senior de Ia Barra and the diplo-
matte representatives to warrant a
further attempt to prevent another
battle within the city.
Senor de la Barra sent message to
President Madero saying:
I'm the name of humanity and as
a Mexican who is free of all political
and revolutionary parties l wish to
offer my services in any way possible
to effect peace without further blood.
she'd"
Madero replied, thanking him, but
declaring that no terms other than an
unconditional surrender could be made
with Diaz.
That the president is determined to
make this finish fight is evident,
though not more so than Diaz, who
realizes that there will be no clemency
In case of surrender.
Almost within stones throw OF each
other these two fighting forces, each
armed with more than twenty can
non, are tearing at each others
throat and they expect to continue the
struggle regardless Of the incidental
loss of life. -:
The diplomats notified their nations.
when fighting appeared inevitable, to
take care Of themselves i'm the best
way possible Madero had refused or
had neglected to answer the note in
which he was. asked ii. he, would be
able to give protection to the foreign
residents and Diaz, in replying to a
similar, request, had frankly acknowl
edged his inability to do 50.
