exciting contests.

AT WIRE MILL ARE
ASSUMING DEFINITE SHAPE

Activities at the plant of the American
Steel and Wire company at Fairfield are
assuming definite shape with the advent
of the month of June. During the past
few days something like a dozen of the
heads of the vari0as departments who
were here when work was stopped on the
plant have arrived and others are ex-
pected daily. Efforts are being made.
1t is understood to put all the old officials

with applications for positions. more than
500 people, 1t is said, having offered their
services. 1t will be some time before
anything like this number will be put to
work, because the contractor and the
officials of the mill are organizing the
forces a strictly systematic basis The
various crews of workmen will be filled
out only as the necessity arises, and
while the plant is now a scene of inspir-
ing activity, it is only matter of a short
time until the number will be largely
augmented.
The work now engaging the principal
attention of the officials is in the nature
of construction and the setting up of
machinery.

Wireless Station At Auburn
Communicates With SdDdnndh
By CLYDE w. ENNIS

Auburn, June Especial al)-Communi-
cation was established here this morning
by the local wireless station with Savan-
nah and the station at Pensacola. Later
In the day message was sent to New
York and relayed to Orange. N. j., to
Thomas Edison felicitating him the first
wireless station ever established in a
souther inland town.
The wireless station was presented TO
Auburn by Miller Reese Hutchinson, a
former Auburn man and now chief engi-
neer for the Edison company and the
personal representative of Thomas Ed-
son. The wireless station is designed to
promote the study Of late electrical dis
coveries and to touch more upon the
iilustrious dead who fell on the field of
honor. The pride of oxford and of
Cambridge are its illustrious sons;
poets, statesmen and philosophers. Com
pared with their long career, 60 years
may be but a brief span, but fellow
alumni we have a goodly heritage In
the memories of our old institution full
of charm for retrospect, full of inspira-
tion for tomorrow
Briefly, then, may we not ask, what
Is Auburn? Now the life history of a
man, of an Institution, all that which
goes to condition it and make it and
evolve 1t, that is a lengthy story, and
today we cannot be long. We shall not
attempt historical, pedagogical, or psy-
Geological analyses of the institution,
but there are some great outstanding
salient facts that we might profit to
pass In rapid review; might take "A
view of facts long known to us all but
that may have been obscured by the
contests of the bare world.
Auburn Is a geographical point In
1872 when the college was founded by
the state of Alabama in conformity with
the act of Congress in 1862, the legisla-
ture found 1T necessary to secure local
habitation for the institution, and
among all the competitors making bids,
the loveliest village of the plain made
the most generous offer, and denomin-
alton decided it's magnificent building to
the state OF Alabama as long as it Is
used for the purpose of education. And
so, the great institution has had it's be-
ing here on this spot. And like Prince
ton and old oxford and old Cambridge,
the geographical name of the village
has come to designate the institution
to be our great trade mark. And the
rolling, hazy hills, and the clear sky
and the brilliant stars and sunsets, the
bicycle path, the streets, the campus,
where we have all courted and lost or
won, the genius loci, as the Latins
called 1t, the spirit of the place have all
formed the basis of that institution
that we call Auburn. An ideal place in
a way without distractions. without dis
sipations.

high sounding phrase, is fit for legal
documents and grave legislation. but

Second, it takes buildings for a. col

SETTER FARMING SPREADING.

The better farming idea is spreading
rapidly in North Dakota. This year
many more counties in the state will
cooperate with Secretary Cooper and
will inaugurate the system within
their borders. One of the good
features about the plan is the interest
that is being taken by the boys, and
the work that is being done especially
for them. In Minot recently there was
a short course in agriculture at which
sixty-five farmer boys attended. They
were taught practical methods Of
farming and took a deep and intel
ligent interest in the work.
The better farming plan has proved
one of the most practical ways Of
improving farm methods that has yet
been devised. 1t was tried out for the
first time in the history Of agriculture,
in North Dakota last year.
One Of the best things about It Is
that the farmer can get practical ad-
vice at the moment when he needs it
most. There are many questions that
come up on the farm about which the
farmer would like advice on the spot.
He cannot wait to write to the agri-
cultural college I'M often times he
makes a guess at the solution, fire.
quently with disastrous results.
In The matter Of seed selection and
in testing seeds alone, the better
farming experts have proved their
worth. Reports state that their ad-
vice is being widely sought this year
in the matter Of testing seed grain
for germination-which is one of the
biggest problems of the farmers in
many sections Of North Dakota this
year.

MONROE DOCTRINE AND MEXICO

The Chicago Inter-Ocean has the
following editorial discussion Of the
situation in Mexico and Uncle Sans
duty there under the Monroe doctrine:
Robert j. Kerr. a Chicago LAWYER,
was a witness of the recent fighting in
the Mexican capital. In Mr.. Kerr's
opinion the onduc OF both factions
justified armed Intervention by the
United States.
He specifies particularly the release
ny the Diazists Of the criminals in the
Belem prison, and the absolute dis
regard" by the Maderists "for the for
cign residents in so disposing their
artillery "as to draw fire" upon their
residences without a word of warn
ing 10 them. Says Mr.. Kerr:
Each of these facts furnished COM
plete justification for American
troops to guard the embassy. estab-
hsh a neutral zone and conserve the
lives OF u citizens. Instead Of in
citing the massacre Of Americans I
believe such a o would have caus-
ed the war to cease"
That Is necessarily a matter Of opin-
ION. MI. Kerr, having been in q very
difficult n dangerous situation.
where ven the bravest man would
feel the need of his %country's protec-
ton, looks at it way. Men lust
as well informed about Mexico and
Mexicans as Mr.. Kerr look at it the
other way.
President Taft and his advisers had
to consider not only the immediate
danger or our people in the Mexican
capital. They had to consider all the
possible consequences to them and to
all other Americans in Mexico Of even
the attempt to send an armed force
for the protection of those Immediate
iy in danger,
1t was not a case of sending a patrol
wagon from around the corner to stop
9 gun fight. The troops could not have
been gotten there in ten minutes. or
ten days. And what might happen
while they were getting there to these
and to all Americans in Mexico? That
was what Mr.. Taft had to think of.
There is reason to believe that
Madero hoped to save himself by pro-
Yoking intervention. 1t is an old trick
OF politicians in trouble at home to
start a foreign war and thus rally to
their aid all factions to ''repei the in
vader." National feeling is q factor
that must be reckoned with, no mat
ter how 1t may be misled.
Mr.. Kerr's opinions are less ques-
tio1able as to accuracy when he
speaks OF the Monroe doctrine and its
relations to such situations as that in
Mexico. In U Judgment there is no
disputing such statements as these:
we have assumed an undertaking
under the Monroe doctrine that may
not be lightly disregarded. The en-
of that doctrine implies POI
lice power in the United States. This
country is looked to under 1t to ex-
ercise an adequate protectorship over
not only our own interests but those
OF other powers"
This is true. We have said with
the Monroa doctrine to al the world.
