DRoUTH IN ILLINOIS, TOO.
Railroads Fear Added Cost for Oper-
ating Expenses.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.-The long con-
tinued drouth in central Illinois cost
the railroads heavily, and will add
enormously to operating expenses for
the year. Claims from farmers for
damage caused by fire, due to sparks
from locomotives, are more numerous
than in any previous year in the his
tory of the roads. Even equipment of
the roads is in danger. A spark from
an engine set fire to the roof of a car
of flour on the Wabash near Raymond
last week. Despite the constant patrol
of the tracks by section men, the
grass along the right of way is ignited
and the fire spreads to fences and
thence to fields of grain adjoining.
The absence of rain has also forced
the roads to haul water a long dis
lance, involving heavy expense. The
Chicago & Alton had five trains in
operation, making a round trip each
day, hauling water to TANKS to furnish
supply for locomotives. The long
stretch of hot weather also vastly in
creased the consumption of ice. The
supply stored last winter by the Alton,
the normal amount, has become ex-
hausted and the company is now re-
plenishing its supply from Wisconsin,
another heavy item Of expense with
out any returns.

take such action.
There has been a succession of empty ul-
timatums delivered with irresolution and in
decision, and received with Indifference and
derision, until the very word 'ultimatum"
has become joke, and the foreign policy Of the
United States may be said in truth to have
added to the gayety Of nations
Now at last the Administration at Wash
ington has announced that it will take action in
Mexico, and every sincere citizen who be-
lieves this declaration will desire to see it take
the right action.
In order that the Administration and the
nation may take the right action it is essential
that President Wilson should remember that
his particular position is that of President of
the United States. He is not dictator in ex-
celsis of the Western Hemisphere, nor inter-
meddler in ordinary in the internal affairs of
all Latin-American countries.
As President of the United States, his par
ticular function is to look after the interests
of the citizens of the United States, and not to
decide the governmental problems and cleo
toral complications of the citizens of Mexico.
The United States surely should inter
vene in Mexico, but it should intervene to pro-
tect the lives and rights and legitimate inter
ests of it's own citizens, and should only inter
fere in the internal affairs of Mexico in so far
as those affairs affect the lives and rights and
legitimate interests of the citizens of the
United States.
The necessity for some sort of definite &C
ton by the Government of the United States
is fully recognized
Every civilized government assumes to
protect the lives and legitimate interests of it's
citizens, not only when its citizens are in their
own country, bat also when they are engaged
in proper pursuits in other countries.
The fact that the Democratic platform
specially and specifically declared that
The constitutional rights Of American citizens
should protect them on our borders and go With them
throughout the aord and eucry american citizen residing
haoing property in any foreign country is entitled
and be giOcn the full protection of the United States
Government both for himself and his PROPERLY
adds nothing to the obvious and imperative
obligations of our Government.
Every civilized and self-respecting gov
eminent everywhere guarantees to its every
citizen this much protection, with or without
specific declarations to that effect
For some three years a state of anarchy
has prevailed in Mexico. Conditions of semi
savagery have existed there This situation
has been gloriied by the name of Revolution,
but it is not revolution-it is riot robbery and
rapine.
Bandit bands roam the country, murder
ing and marauding The animating spirit of
this anarchy is not patriotism but plumber

eminent, and this state of anarchy has still
continued.
