WORLD WIDE SENTIMENT
APPROVES POLICY Of WILSON
IN ATTEMPT RESTORE DISTRACTED LAND
AMERICA IS ALTRUISTIC
And Will Not Intervene With Force
Until All Peaceful Measures
Are Exhausted

Washington, Aug. 26.-President
Wilson has made it plain that unless
there is a change in the attitude of
the government of Provisional Pres
ident Huerta he will carry out his
intention to personally read to Con-
gress today a special message outlin-
ing the policy of the United States
toward Mexico. He discussed the
message last night at the White
House with the entire membership
Of the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee and the House foreign af-
fairs committee.
The message is couched in very
kind terms, because the president
feels that the world generally ought
to recognize that the situation in
Mexico is abnormal, being controlled
by small group of men. That cir
cumstance, the president believes,
ought not to obscure the real feeling
of the United States towards Mexi-
cans, which is one of a generous
friendship. The president does not
wish in any public utterance to use
words of harshness or hostility.
When President Wilson delivers
his address to Congress he will be
the spokesman not only for the Unit
ed States but for practically the en-
tire civilized world. Nearly all of
the European nations are supporting
the policy of the president, also
{ Japan, and even the South America
can republics.

ONE OF THE BOYS
OUT IN THE WOODS
Turpentine Operator Advances an
Opinion on the Cause of Naval
Stores Troubles

The following letter to the Tampa
reproductions:
Fort Green, Fla, Aug. p.
Editor Times: | read quotations
of the naval stores market daily in
your noble paper. Will say We have
no market for the stuff, and it looks
like it Will be some time before We
will. as Shorter cried broke and
claimed he was the only one that
had transportation. That is all talk
| don't think there's anything to
this talk. The idea of the market
demanding spirits and rosin and
can't get it because there are people
holding it and will not put it on the
market
The trouble is the factors are to
blame as they are connected with
this so-called transportation COM
pany that is holding other peoples
When it gets down to the bottom as
low as they think they can possibly
carry it they will buy it all in and
transport it to foreign ports, where
it is so badly needed and will make
thousands Of dollars for themselves
and bankrupt all the operators. They
are not trying to sell anything; they
do not want to sell it now as they
want to buy it themselves when it
gets down low enough. | think they
are a crowd now that needs the law
after them as much as Shorter and
his crowd ever did. | hope it will
come to the attention of all good
people and that they may prosecute
them and put them out of business
as they will put all the operators Out
1 of business but those that are con
nected with them. The operators
should send a man to all foreign
markets and Investigate this matter
and let the people there know they
can buy what stuff they need and
/ find out the names of the firms there
that handle it. An Operator.

Lie SLd1u WIZ -WOuIu Speak III SUCH d
way that the jury would be i'm
pressed.
McWeeny as chief of police would
be just such a man. "A jury would
surely believe the chief of Chicago's
big police force And so the PROPOSE
ton was put up to the chief.
But Andy found himself against a
stone wall. McWeeny, who yester-
day bitterly styled himself as the
messenger boy of the administra-
tion," finally rebelled.
He had been the goat long enough.
He had stood for Lawrence sending
out Paddy LAWN to crush the men
during the newspaper strike. He
had done practically everything that
the H.-H bunch demanded. He had
been made ridiculous in the eyes of
his friends. He had become large,
portly man wearing gold star His
policemen travelling their beats had
more independence. But he kicked
over the traces at last. He refused
to go on the stand.
Lawrence was wrathy. This was
less majestic. And the Lawrence
steam roller began slowly revolving
over the form of McWeeny. 1t didn't
take very long.
A weapon with which to strike at
McWeeny was handy in the person
at Funkhouser. The Second Deputy
was encouraged to go out and chase.
And whenever he found place open
it naturally reflected on the chief.
An unwilling aid to Lawrence was
the Committee of Fifteen. Their re-
port was a wallop to the chief.
Backed by the Republican papers
they kept up constant fire at the
head of the police department.
Then came Funkhouser's expose of
vice conditions in Chicago handed to
the mayor over McWeeny's head.

GIRL APPEARS REAL PERSON ON
TRIAL IN BEILIS CASE

Kiev, Russia, Oct. Though
Mendel Bells, the Jew, is charged
with ritual murder" in the killing of
Yushinsky, the prisoner at the bar of
justice would seem to be Vera Cheb-
eryak.
Her convicted brother, Rudzinsky,
who was accused by the former po-
lice head, Krasskovsky, of being i'm
plicated in the murder, has been
brought from Siberia to testify.
Two secret service officers cor
roborated Krasskovsky's- testimony
that he obtained statements from
convicted counterfeiters declaring
that Rudzinsky and Latischeff, an
other brother of the Cheberyak -wo-
man, admitted numbering Yushinsky.
The officers swore that Krasskovsky,
disguised as a convict, mingled with
counterfeiters in prison and obtain
ed their statements.
The brothers of Vera Cheberyak
were members of her gang" accused
of many robberies, and it has been
alleged that they killed Yushinsky be-
cause he learned of their operations,
through Eugene Cheberyak, his
playmate, who has since died.

down to Luther, Cromwell, the leaders
of the American colonists, and until
the present day, it is difficult to name
a man who has caused progress who
would not be classed with the trouble
makers by most of those with whom
he comes into contact
The friends of these trouble makers,
those who have backed them, have
been regarded as cranks or trouble
makers by their neighbors, the SNUG
men.
The SNUG man usually regards the
trouble makers OF the past as great
men. He has no kick against prog
ress and usually thinks he is an advo-
cate of it. His trouble is that he has
not the sand to take part in an af-
fair where he is likely to get his
white collar mussed He likes to lead
a cOntented life, quiet, and away from
turmoil. Anything that resembles
conflict, even though it be in defend
ing a friend, CRATES on his nerves.
His policy is. Don't get excited"

THE SNUG MAN.

One of the great temptations today
is to be a Snug man, to carry to
the extreme the old saying Never
trouble trouble till trouble troubles
you" The SNUG man is sort OF
Epicurean in that he avoids all trouble
and would not have his spirit disturb
ed. Now to avoid trouble is a good
thing, most OF the time. but there are
plenty of times when the surest way
out is to wade right through.
The men whose backs have borne
the burden of progress and whose
breasts have borne the brunt of the
attacks by the conversatives have
been trouble makers. Their constft-
uents regarded them as such. From

WIDER Uses FOR PARCEL POST.

The continued success of the parcel
post system is to bring about another
change which will mean increased
convenience to the public The weight
limit of parcel post packages in the
first and second zones will be increas-
ed from 20 to so pounds, books will
be admitted to the service and rates
will be reduced in the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth zones.
The parcel post system is being
made to meet the needs and demands
of the people. The admission of books
seems to be the result of a general
demand from those who could see no
reason why they were excepted. The
lower prices and the admission of
heavier packages will benefit MANY
and probably will not hinder the sue
cess of the system.
Many small town merchants who
at first feared the parcel post. and
others who saw no good in it, have
now begun to use it to their advant
age. The farmers have not yet real
lied it full uses. such as marketing
their produce. AS people become
more and more accustomed to the par
eel post, its uses will become greater
and the service more extensive.

CAN THEY BE TRUSTED!

More than 1000 voters in st. Louis
have already signed the petition of the
women suffragists. Five per cent of
all qualified voters in the state will
be necessary for its submission to be
voted upon as a constitutional amend
ment.
Those who are against suffrage
should begin TO fight the movement
more strenuously now. For, they say,
it was largely through the efforts of
the women of Macon, that the town
has just gone dry.
After that, would you think it safe
TO trust them with a ballot in their
own hands?

RED CROSS SEALS.

Three thousand Red Cross seals
must be sent out from Columbia on
letters every day until Christmas
Week. If the sale drops below this
average, it means that Columbia will
fall below the record made last year
That was remarkable record. but it
has now lost its significance. A new
fight is on.
The sale has been going on all of
this week. Four women's organiza-
tiOns, the Rebecca Lodge, Eastern
Star Lodge, p E. O. Chapter and the
y. W. c. A, have divided the city
into districts and are making a thor
ough canvass. The women from the
churches are selling the stamps at the
postofice. This is a better plan of
campaign than those of previous
years. 1t shows that the work is be-
ing taken seriously.
The leaders are doing their share.
1t is up to Columbia people to do their
part; that is, send the stamps out on
their letters. The cost to individuals
is insignificant, but with everyone's
support, Columbia can take a leading
part in carrying on the anti-tubercu-
losis fight in this state.

they are, doing unto others as they
were done by.
Should you chance to remind them
of their last years resolution, they
will shrug their shoulders and say,
oh! l got mine and lived through it.
l even look back on it with pleasure
now. It's my time to have the upper
hand"
And in many ways, they are right.
One of the things which an upperclass-
man enjoys telling about most is how
they got me-" And they can always
remember it, too. A good padding is
something that you can never forget.
We were one of those who learned
as a freshman that you can't get away
with it. We succeeded in fooling the
sophs for two weeks and not wearing
a cap. One day the truth became
known. That night at supper at the
Commons, everyone looked over at us
like the populace of Rome must have
looked at the early Christians when
they were being thrown to the lions.
We fingered over the meal, but every
one tarried also. When we arose to
leave, there was a general exodus.
When we were caught at the foot of
the steps and tried to say something,
the crowd howled Ito the pole" and
moved that way like fallen leaves
struck by gust of wind.
When we reached the goose-necked
pole, they yelled up, up" Under the
force of gentle persuasion, we went
up with the agility of a creased pole
climber. After we gave our yes, yes,
yes" high school yell. rendered a vocal
selection, ending with nine rahs for
the sophomores, we were told to catch
a bug in our mouth, come down and
run the gauntlet.
Oh! That line If piece OF meat
can feel as it sees the mouth of
sausage mill opening to receive it, it
must have sensations similar to ours
when we looked down that double row
of paddles. Catch him at the end"
was the cry, and we resolved to fool
them by not running when we got
through. But by the time we had re-
ceived several dozen "swats," we had
changed our mind. Did you ever have
your foot go to sleep? Well, just in
tensify that about a thousand times
and you can imagine padding. Only
the intermittent beats of the paddles
make the sensations surge like alter
mating electric currents.
And we sure did fly when we got
through. We have always felt differ
ent toward a chased rabbit since that
night. When the dogs" finally caught
us, it was the pond, and nothing else
would satisfy them. At the edge of
the water. we felt even more like
rabbit except that it was like the clos
ing moments OF a roundup.
One plunge, which we did not feel.
and then it was home and dry clothes
for us. incidentally the aid of mir
ror to inspect the damage done. Then
into bed to spend whole night Sleep
ing upon our stomach. All, That was
some experience And we were lust
proud enough in the morning at
breakfast to sit down in our chair !
with bump to show that they had |
not bothered us any.
The whole system is pretty good un-
written law, isn't it? If the pre-medic |
oretends to be farmer and goes to
he barnwarming, it is fine to remind
lin of his perfidity. Discipline must
'e preserved. And top-heavy fresh
nen must be brought low.
However, we would advise some of
