Gov. COlquitt.

Ambition in moderation is not
a vice, but in excess it greatly
weakens the moral fiber. There
are indications that Gov. Col
quit wishes to go to the Senate,
and apparently he thinks he
would be more likely to get
there by playing upon local ex-
eitement than by cooperating in
the Presidents efforts to main
tain peace.
Texas is ont Of the most val
liable and interesting parts of the
United States. Not only It's
resources and its energies, but
it's progressiveness in city gov
eminent and in other ways, have
attracted widespread attention. It
is so large and so strong that it
could easily defeat Mexico alone,
but this very strength should
make it willing to take a gener-
Gus view. That the United
States is what enables Woodrow
Wilson to handle the situation,
not with b~arbarous and outworn
pride, but with modern enlight-
enment, and with an eye to the
ultimate welfare of Mexico her
self and of our nation

Models Show Proper LAUNDERING.


Two models which show how
the government sells its timber
have just been prepared in
Washington, for display at the
forest products exposition, to be
held i'm Chicago April 30 to May
9 and in New York May 20 to
30. These models represent an
acre Of western yellow pine land
in a national forest of the
southwest before and after
logging.
In tn model showing the
stand before the l|umberman
goes into it the trees range from
those only a few years old to
large, Oycrmature, stag-headed
individuals more than ready
for the ak. In the second model
the mature trees and all others
larger than a certain diameter
have been cut down and made
into logs and cOrdwoOd. In this,
as in all government sales, the
stumps are cut low to avoid
unnecessary waste, logs are ia
ken to a small diameter well up
into the tree, and such material
as is not fit for lumber is con
verified into cordwood. Together,
the models show the care which
the government requires of lum-
bermen in telling old trees so
that the young growth is not in
jured. The brush is piled in
heaps for burning after the lum-
Der has been removed, in order
that the fire menace which for
esters say usually follows lumber
ing may be done away with. TIL
models are on a scale of about
one inch to five feet, so that
trees approximately 100 feet tall
are about 20 inches high in the
models.
1t is the intention of the for.
est service to have these models
set forth certain points in re
gard to the timber sales con
Quoted by the government. They
will demonstrate, in the frs
place, that the timber on thu
national forests is for use
placards tell how It is sold t,
the highest bidder when it
wanted for commercial purposes
and how it may be given ava,
to local settlers and prOspector
for developing homesteads o
mines. The models themselve
indicate that the timber is Gu
in such a way as to eliminate a
avOidable waste of wood an,
to secure a continuance of tn
forest crop. not only for timbe
production but for the prOtectiO
Of the soil. They further Sho'
the fundamental principles al
plicable to many logging operl
tiOns, that the mature an
. Overmature trees should be r,
moved, that thriftily CROWN
young trees should be Left t
produce seed and insure a r
production of the stand, AN
that the young growth should

10000 MINERS QUIT WORK
Men Strike. Despite Order to Contrary
from Union.

Charleston, w. Va.-Ten Thousand
miners in the Kanawha coal fields quit
work in the face of an order from John
p. White, president of the United Mine
workers of America. Thomas Calrnes,
president of district No. IL, urged the
men to remain at work until negotia-
tions were officially broken Off with
the operators, but they refused to OBEY.
When negotiations between the un-
ion leaders and the operators began
several weeks ago the men made "a
demands, which later were reduced TO
seven. Further discussion of the points
at issue cut this number to three, ana
on these the operators refused to y1eld'
Further efforts were made to nave
the men reconsider their demands Tor

MINERS BATTLE
IN COLORADO
AT THE FORBES CAMP, THE
STRIKERS BURNED ALL
THE BUILDINGS.
NINE PERSONS ARE KILLED
Major Lester Shot While Wearing the
Red Cross Emblem and Caring
for a Wounded comrade.

Denver, Col-Colorado's seven
months industrial conflict has claim
ed another toll of nine lives. This
was the verified record, divided as fol-
lows:
At Forbes, seven mine guards and
one striker dead, with two other strik-
ers believed to have been killed
At Walsenburg, one officer of the
militia hospital corps killed. one off,
Ger and two enlisted men wounded.
The Forbes camp was a scene of
desolation, virtually all the mine
buildings having been destroyed by
fire. Here it was the work of only
few fleeing hours. 1t was about $3.50
a. m. when the strikers opened their
attack in force. With the women and
children of the camp barricaded in the
mine slope, the guards responded
spiritedly.
After the firing had ceased the
camps assailants disappeared as mys-
teriously as they came, some toward
Trinidad and others over the hills In
the direction of Berwind and Tai
basco.
Fighting at Walsenburg between
strikers, militia and mine guards, last
ed five hours. Major p. P. Lester or
the hospital corps met his death, shot
through the left breast while dressing
the wounds of comrade within 16O
yards of the strikers position. Firing
ceased shortly after three O'Clock.
With two troops of United States
cavalry in the Fremont county fields
and citizen volunteers and militia on
guard in Boulder county, state officials
prepared for sudden outbreaks in Las
Animas and Huerfano counties, where
federal troops were not expected to
arrive before a day or two. The militia
detachment relieved by federal sol
diers in Fremont county was Fastening
to Colonel Verdeckberg's assistance

.HUERTA WILL RESIGN
DICTATOR WILLING TO QUIT If
He IS PLACED ABOARD A
FOREIGN wARsHIP.
FOREIGN MINISTER is OUT
Growing Undereurrent OF Feeling
Throughout Mexico Against the
Huerta Government.

Vera Cruz.-Persistent reports con-
tinae to circulate here that General
Huerta intends to retire from the pro
visional presidency Of Mexico ON con-
dition that he be assured a safe-con-
duct to a port and be placed on board
foreign warship.
II is declared in some Mexican cir
cles. in this city, that General Huerta
was ready to resign week ago, but
was prevented by internal dissensions
in his cabinet
The resignation of Jose Lopez Por-
tiIlo Rojas, the foreign minister cou-
pied with reports that there is a grow
ing undercurrent of feeling in Mexico
City against the Huerta government, IS
interpreted here as foreshadowing a
change in the situation in the federal
capital.
Close observers here of the govern
ment's situation believe Senior Por-
tillo's resignation may clear the way
eventually for the appointment OF a
foreign minister, who, under the Mexl-
can constitution, could succeed Gen
eral Huerta as president. In these
circles it is pointed out that while
yenustiano Carranza declined to treat
with General Huerta, he might con-
sent to enter into negotiations with
his successor and thus facilitate media
ton.
Continued rebel successes IN the
north. and attacks on Tampico, may
in some opinions, bring about change
of policy.
The interior was reported quiet
People arriving here from the capltal
said the populace was beginning 10
learn that General Huerta was decelV-
ing them all the time by issuing raise
reports of federal successes over Con-
stitutionalists.
News of the peaceful way in which
Americans are occupying Vera Cruz
it is said, has spread to the capital
and has convinced the people there
that the American invasion OF the
port is not for conquest or aggres-
sion.

ROCK AND DIRT IN CULEBRA
But the Engineers Are Gaining on the
Treacherous Slides.

Panama.-Rock and dirt are still
naaving down the Curaracha slide into
the Culebra cut, but the engineers
who have been fighting the PREACHER
Gus slides in this vicinity are at last
gaining upon nature. Fears that the
opening of the canal, set for January,
1915, would have to be postponed IN
definitely have been growing less each
day, for the dredges and steam shoyels
have been taking out the dirt and
rock much faster than it slid into the
canal.
The Culebra slide, just to the south
Of the Cucaracha trouble, is entirely
at rest, and it is hoped it will remain
so; but the canal engineers will watch
this treacherous hillside with some
anxiety as the rainy season approach
es. Breaks are already showing far
back from the canal prism, and these
may indicate a movement which might
any day precipitate tons OF crushed
rock and dirt into the canal for the
tireless dredges and steam shovels to
remove.
