LIND HAS BROAD POWERS
President Of Mexico Says He VIII
Have Hands Off.

Washington.-Wit former Governor
Lind of Minnesota on his way to Mex
leo City as the personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, the eyes of
the administration were turned ex-
pectantly Tuesday to the capital of
the southern republic for the next de-
velopments.
Secretary Bryan expects Mr.. Lind to
be in Mexico City by the end of the
week. The general understanding in
official circles is that he carries broad
powers for a most delicate task.
Latin-American diplomats here are
watching the course of the Washing
ton administration with keen interest,
and while most of them sympathize
with the efforts of the United States
to raise the plane of constitutional
government in Latin America, some
are doubtful of the efficacy of the
present plan in Mexico.
The Constitutionalists here are reti-
cent about the prospective mission of
Mr.. Lind, and while privately some of
them do not like the idea of foreign
interference in Mexican politics, any
movement that has for it's aim the up
roofing of the Huerta regime meets
with their approval.

GETTING CARELESS.

For some time complaints have been
made about the disposal of garbage in
certain parts of the city. In fact a
great many people have been getting
careless over the most essential law
ever passed by the city. The city or
dinance calls for every household pro-
viding an air and water tight recep-
teal for the garbage and the disposal
of this garbage at least once week.
The penalty for failing to do this is a
heavy one. Warnings will be given
the people who have failed to provide
cans and continued violations will be
prosecuted. The city health depart
ment has determined to make clean
up in the matter.

ten Cents FOR HOGS
Rfchfield Man Receives Top Price for
POrkers.

T. j. Byrne returned Wednesday
from Portland, where he went last
week with car of hogs from the.
R1chfleld tract And what do you
suppose he did with the hogs?
Topped the market, receiving 10
cents pound straight for the car, the,
highest price on record for hogs in
the west!
The hogs were all raised here, most
OF them being late fall or winter pigs.
They averaged about 100 pounds and
were smooth and of the right weight
to bring the very top. That they were
bought at such a price is matter for
great encouragement to the people
here; they can surely raise hogs good
enough for any market, and the price
IS high enough to make it wonder
fully profitable. This made each hog
worth $19, which will certainly be a
profitable price for any farmer to sell
his stock.-Richfield Recorder.

American Faces Hard Battle.

Mexico City.-President Huerta
Tuesday night reiterated the declara-
ton of his policy of hands off" in re-
ply to question as to what would be
his attitude in case an offer of medi-
alton should be made by the United
States Through John Lind, who is
coming here as the personal represen-
tative of President Wilson to act as
adviser to the American embassy.
Il have said publicly" President
Huerta declared, "that / will not ac-
cept mediation nor Intervention of any
kind, because national dignity and
honor do not allow it. l have de-
clared also that / will not treat with
the rebels, and much less will do so
if doing so involves fragrant viola
ton of our sovereignty"
Personal friends of President Tuer-
ia and military men who appear to
enjoy his confidence, vigorously as
sert that he will not consider resign
ing or any compromise with the rebels.
The character of the conversation
among all classes concerning the sit
uation does not differ greatly from
that in official circles, and unless
there is radical change in sentiment
it is not impossible that the reception
accorded Mr.. Lind here will be excit-
ing. Already there is talk of public
demonstrations of disapproval over
his coming.
1t is assumed that the government
will take all steps to look after the
personal safety of President Wilson's
representative and of Americans in
general in the event of demonstra-

PLAYING POLITICS
Adjustment of Mckinley Post Cards
Called "Petty Partisanship."

Notwithstanding the opposition of
the Ohio senators and other admirers
of the late President Mckinley, the
order OF the postmaster general elm
mating the photo of the late president
from the postal card will stand. The
Washington Star contains the follow
ing with reference to the attitude of
Congressman Smith:
Petty partisanship which does not
indicate broad-minded patriotism" is
the criticism made by Representative
Addison T. Smith of Idaho, in discuss
ing the order of Postmaster General
Burleson, directing that no more
postal cards be issued with the por-
trait of President Mckinley. Mr.
Smith says that the substitution of the
likeness of Thomas jefferson will be
resented by millions of people who
loved and esteemed President McKin-
ley in his lifetime
"As former Ohioan and a friend
and admirer of the late President Nc
Kinley," said Mr.. Smith, II do not hes
itate to say that the action of the post
master general in direction that the
photograph of Thomas jefferson be
substituted for that of the martyred
president on the millions of postal
cards to be hereafter issued does not
indicate that degree of broad-minded
patriotism which should influence
government officials in the discharge
of their duties.
THE change ordered will be quietly
resented in the minds of the great
mass of the fair-minded people of
the country, regardless of politics.
am sufficiently partisan to believe
that the appointive offices of an execu-
tive character should be filled by the
appointment of those in accord with
the policy of the administration in
power; but it is pretty small business
to displace the photograph of a presi-
dent who was SO popular with the
people in all sections of the country,
and who held the office so recently,
with the photograph of a president
who has been dead nearly 100 years.
There are thousands of people who

ent Democrats in the country who
would have approved the action of the
postmaster general had their opinion
been asked.
1T is a piece of petty partisanship

people of the country and the post

anything to the popularity of the ad-

PHOSPHATE PRODUCTION LARGE.
More than 100000 Tons Mined-Flo
ida Produced Heavy.

Phosphate rock, which is the princi-
pal source of one of the three fertil-
izing elements necessary for plant
growth, was marketed in the United
States last year to the extent of g.
973,332 long tons, valued at 11,675,774
This was a slight decrease in both
quantity and value compared with the
figures for the preceding year, but
the amount Of phosphate rock mined
was greater than in 1911, excepting
in South Carolina. In Florida the in
crease was 3 per cent, in Tennessee
it was over IL per cent, and in the
western phosphate field it was over
10 per cent.
Stocks of phosphate rock on hand
also increased in the two main produc-
ing Southern States, Florida and Ten
nessee. On the whole the industry in,
the main southern phosphate field was
active.
The production of phosphate rock in
Florida was 81 per cent of the entire
output of the United States. The out
put of this state, which at the present
time leads in the phosphate industry,
was with one exception, that of 1911,
the greatest in the history of the state.
The quantity marketed for the year
was 2,4O6,S99 long tons, valued at &c.
461, 297-a slight decline both in ton
mage and value compared with 1911.
Tennessee furnished 14.2 per cent Of
the phosphate marketed in the United
States in 1912, the total production of
the State being 423,331 long tons, val
ued at S1,64O,476. In South Carolina
l31, ago long tons was marketed, val
IL u
cline compared with 1911.
In the Western States the produce
ton of phosphate came from Idaho.
Utah, and Wyoming, and amounted to
Il,6l2 long tons, gain of 105 per
cent compared with 1911. The value
OF the product increased considerably,
the average price per ton being great
er in 1912 than in 1911.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources,
1872" by W. c. Phalen, giving, be-
sides statistics of production of phos-
phate rock for the whole country, fig.

individual states for the last five
years. Tables showing imports and
exports Of fertilizer materials are also
given, as well as the production of

amount to the demand that in one
class of cases this principle, which
many advanced penologists indorse,
must be given up at the popular de-
mand. On Judge Lindsey's side it is
declared that out of eighty-six cases
there were fifty-three convictions, and
that of the remaining thirty-three cas-
es the greater part were dismissed by
the district attorney for lack of evil
dence.
Ills critics complain that only four
men have been sent to the peniten-
tiary, and that of those sent to Jail
many were released on parole. 1t is
likely that there are two sides TO the
case; there is far from being an agree
ment as to the ideal way of treating
first offenders, and the temptation is
to allow indignation at the character
of the offenses to disturb calm judg-
ment OF the case of the offender and
the chances of retaining him to the
side of virtue
1t has been reported from Denver
that women on both sides of the equal
suffrage question are in favor of re-
calling Judge Lindsey. The Washing
ton Post remarks that in view of the
fact that he has always been a cham
pion of womens rights, and that he
is typical radical of the new school.
an idol of the Masses" and the found
er of new juvenile court system, the
report that there are many of the pros
against him is scarcely understand
able" The Buffalo Enquirer takes
this view of the case:
"The public will be very slow to be-
lieve the faults of Judge Lindsey's ad-
ministration, whatever they may be,
lie in that direction. The public will,
instead, be inclined to credit the allie
CATION of the judge that this movement
is another and the most cunning of
the attempts to get him. Judge Lind
sey has won the undying enmity of
forces none too good to organize an
endeavor under the leadership of wo-
men to bring about his downfall. From
other developments in Colorado poll
tics some of the women of that State
are not too wise to be fooled into par
ucipation in such an effort and others
are not too good to be hired to take
part in It,"
For some reason there has been a
conspicuous lack of discussion of the
subject in the Denver papers, which
seem disposed to let Judge Lindsey
and his enemies fight Il out without
giving them any publicity that can be
avoided.--Literary Digest.

NEW YORK's OPPORTUNITY

The anti-Tammany element of New
York has nominated John Purroy
Mitchell as it's candidate for mayor
Mr.. Mitchel's selection as head of the
fusion ticket, backed by independent
Democrats, progressive Republicans
and Progressives, came at the close of
prolonged meeting of 107, assembled
for the purpose of selecting ticket.
For time it seemed doubtful wheth-
er Mr.. Mitchell, Charles S. Whitman
or George McAneny would be chosen.
Mr.. Mitchell is Democrat. Mr.. Whit
man has for some time been the Re-
publican incumbent of the district at
torneys office. Mr.. McAneny is pres
ident of the borough of Manhattan.
Any of these three would have made
an excellent candidate, with the odds,
perhaps, in favor of Mitchell.
The fusion nominee is anti-Tam-
many to the heart. He was recently
appointed collector of the port of New
York by President Wilson, who desir-
ed to put in that important office a
man who would be more than a politi-
cal henchman of Barnes or Murphy.
Mr.. Mitchell is young man. II am not
politician" he describes himself; 81
am lawyer" And he is a good law
ger. Only little past "a, he has al
ready served as acting mayor of New
YORK. In that capacity he demon
strated his ability. He first came in
to public attention through his man
agement of the Ahearn inquiry during
the latter part of the Mcclellan ad-
ministration From Investigator he
stepped into the office of commission
er of accounts, and then into the Of
flee of president of the board of aid
ermen, being elected as fusion can
didate in opposition to the Gaynor
ticket.
1t was as president of the board that
Mr.. Mitchell succeeded, temporarily, to
the mayors chair. His record prior to
becoming head of the aldermen was
such as to invite the hearty wrath of
Tammany, and SO it was little Won
der that he was deprived by the board
thoroughly subservient to Murphy. of
much opportunity to serve the city
But he did good deal, nevertheless,
and the future gives promise of more.
Mr. Mitchell ought to make better
mayor than Mr. Gaynor has proved to
be for the very reason that he is not
Tammany man. The ticket named car
rles the denomination of Whitman as
district attorney and w. A. Prender-
CAST as controller, and the nomina-
ton of McAneny as president of the
board of aldermen. Here is the city's
pportunity-indeed, the state's-to be
rid OF the fungus of Murphyism. Gov
ernor Sulzer is engaged in desperate
political conflict with Tammany. He
has the legislature and the. admins
tration of the city of New York
against him. With Mr.. Mitchell and
Mr.. Whitman in charge in New York
there would be better chance for the
peoples victory in the battle of hon
asty against political corruption.-|

AFTER JUDGE LINDSEY.

The political enemies of Judge Ben
Lindsey in Denver have been knocked
out many times, but it seems that they
have habit of retiring to their train
ing-camp for a short while, and then
coming back for another fight. In his
book, 1.-THE Beast and the Jungle the
famous juvenile judge tells of about
fifty-seven forms of attack resorted to
by his foes, but at the time his story
was written he could not foresee all
that might happen in the future, and
consequently there is new chapter
which has not been seen between cloth
covers. DR.. Mary Elizabeth Bates,
leader of the Woman's Protective
League, a Denver anti-womarl-suf
frage organization, is leading the lat
est fight against Judge Lindsey on
the ground that he has shown too
much mercy to men accused of COM
hitting offenses against girls. DR..
Bates says: 81 am determined to ed
ucate the women of this State out of
their folly in blindly following Judge
Lindsey" She is assisted in her cam
paign by other members of the Wo-
mans Protective League and by e. K.
Whitehead. Lindsey says the people
who seek to have him recalled are
the tools of corrupt business inter-
ests which have been fighting him
ever since he entered politics. Here
is statement he makes to the Asso-
ciated Press:
I'm twelve years, because of such
outrages as that now attempted, l
have had to run at regular elections
six times and be appointed three
times. Why were not these charges
brought forward? Yet they were not
at single one of the nine times in
twelve years that they forced me to
run the gauntlet.
Long ago l counted the cost of the
war in which 1 willingly enlisted, and
l do not complain, not even if | fall
in the fight. But it is we'll for the
people to know what the fight is real
ly about-where the enemy turks, and
where and how he strikes-for those
of us who fall must be supplanted by
others who some day will win the war. !
The use of this incident and the weak
lings back of it by the Sinking tools
of privilege to ridicule the recall, the |
initiative, and the referendum and
fought for that this might be a peo-
pies government rather than their
government, is only one of the side
lights of this struggle that may be
merely mentioned in passing. If they
can fight fair, it will be a glorious
vindication of all we stand for. |
shall meet the issue gladly"
The Springfield Republican thinks
that the raising of the question of
whether Judge Lindsey has been too
lenient with men who prey on girls
Introduces source of prejudice that
is likely to make it hard to get a |
fair hearing for judge" The Mas
sachusetts paper moralizes thus:
but it must be remembered that |
Judge Lindsey has always been re-
garded as the representative of an
other humanitarian principle which
might easily clash-the principle Of |
endeayoring to save young offenders.

Admits, However, It
Would Have Preven-
ted 1907 Panic.
BANKS DISLIKE 1T
Predicts Many of Them
Would Take Out State
Charters.

Washington, ID. Crank A. Van
derlip, president of the National CITY
Bank of New York, known as the
Rockefeller bank, told the Senate
banking committe today that he en-
dorsed many Of the important fea-
lures of the administration currency
bill. However, he criticised adverse
~ certain points, notably the inde-
pendence OF the reserve banks, the
character OF the note issue plan and
the section compelling all national
banks to become members OF the pro-
posed system.
A repetition of the panic >of 1907
from such causes as brought Il
about, would be impossible under the
proposed system, he said. He de-
clared the call loan market would be
greatly minimized under the plan
and hundreds of millions of dollars
now used for cali loans on stock ex-
change collateral would enter COM
mercial channels.
The reserve system would be su-
perior to the present system he said.
He advocated single government
bank instead of the proposed regional
reserve banks, as the administration
bill linked the twelve regional banks
"by forced loans" He declared that
plan obnoxious" 800. X VS. &
Vanderlip also objected to the
methods of selecting the boards OF
directors of the reserve banks, the
control of which, he saids would be
thrown almost entirely into the
hands of the small banks. He de-
clared that few banks favored the
bill in the present form. and that
many national banks would tlrop
their charters rather than submit to
the regulations and pronfbfti0Ifs Of
the bill. He critized the political
control which the bill. would estnb-
lish over the banking system. 4
