a sheltered lake in the back ground.
Just as they started TO undress a

ing suits and in the lake. At the
close of the evenings performance

Should we he justified to inter-

years the Republic must concern
itself with the development of the
American continent. Now by in
tervention may We begin the glori-
Gus. era 50 ably outlined some. time
since, by my respected opponent,
You all heard his splendid argu-
ment for consolidated and central
lied government of North America.
The opportunity is here to start
right. Not by taking Mexico from
the Mexican, but by restoring it to
them. Not to oppress that strick-
en- people, but to protect them.
Not to establish our own rule. but
to help maintain a government of
law administered by Mexicans for
Mexico and sustained by us so long
as our help is necessary. We will
be their big brother, and earn their
love and gratitude: teaching them
that our American government car
ries the protection of its flag to the
humblest in the remotest part of the
world, and that the American. con-
tlnet Is still for Americans. Thus
by the most sacred of duties are we
bound to intervene and by these
same duties it is jnstifable.
To recapitulate.- The United
States is justified to intervene in
the affairs Of Mexico for the follow
ing reasons:
First. By virtue of the Monroe
doctrine which compels the U. S.
to protect the lives and property Of
foreign Inhabitants.
-Seeond. By the cause of human-
ity, that obligation which our do
minant position in the western hem
lsphere forces upon us to stop Mex
leo from destroying herself.
Third. The right to protect by
force of arms the lives of Ameri-
cans now living in Mexico whose
interests amount to over one billion
dollars.
Fourth. The right to restore a
legal and stable government based
on the wishes of a mai
ority of the voters the justltica
ton of which is found in the pre-
vious interventions in Cuba, Nicur-
auga, San Domingo and Costa Rica.

Urges Government Own
Hotels in National Park

A recommendation that the Govern.
ment acquire possession of all hotels
and other permanent improvements of
private nature at Crater Lake Ma
tional Park, Ore, is made in the an
nual report of Superintendent Steele,
of that institution, to Secretary of the
Interior Lane. This would be a de-
parture from the present Government
policy of leasing out such concessions
to private persons.
Crater Lake Park includes the wreck
of Mt. Mazama, at one time a giant
mountain peak. all of which above the
5000 feet level has sunk, leaving a vast
crater five and a half miles in diam
eter. which has filled with water to
depth of 1000 feet This lake has
been stocked with trout, and road
has been constructed around the crater.
There were 1895 visitors at the park
last year, gain of 1000 over the pre-
ceding year.

Growth.

If you want plenty Of thick. beautiful.
glossy. silky hair, do by all meas get
rid Of dandruff. for it will starve your
hair and ruin it If you don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to-
brush or wash it out. The onlv sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon. apply il at nishs
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most, if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop. and your
hair will be silky, fluffy. lustrous. soft.
and look and feel hundred times bet

drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
