ALMOST UNIVERSALLY
APPROVED"

Congressman Kitchin, ranking
Democratic member of the ways ant
means committee, can't understand
why the president should urge the
repeal of the toll exemption clause OF
the canal act. The whole question
he says, was thoroughly considered
debated and settled in 1912 and the
American people "almost universally
approved" the exemption.
There is much virtue in almost
as much as in an if, says the Chi
cago Record-Herald. The national
Republican platform, which contain
ed a plank favoring encouragement
for the merchant marine, pointedly
refrained from advocating or indors-
ing coastwise toll exemption. That
omission excited no surprise, indig-
nation or protest in any quarter.
During the debate on the exemption
clause leading members of congress
argued against it; minority reports
condemned it; leading newspapers,
partisan and independent alike, argu-
ed against exemption on several
grounds; the governments own chos-
en- expert on isthmian transportation
problems, Professor Emory johnson.
spoke and wrote against it. Colonel
Goethals, whom everybody delights to
honor as the chief of the canal build
ers, tells the American people that
he has never seen the slightest busi-
ness reason for the exemption clause.
The New York chamber of commerce
and the Illinois Manufacturers as.
sociation have indorsed the demand
for the repeal of the clause. The
periodical of which Colonel Roose-
velt is contributing editor has in
dorsed repeal in an earnest manner
as have other progressive organs and
leaders.
Yet Kitchin naiyely wonders at the
repeal demand and says that the
American people almost universally
approved it. What is his idea of
dissent and disagreement?

HAWKINS PAID FOR HIS TEARS

Our friend Horace N. Hawkins, in
talking about military despotism in
the state under the mild and benefi-
cent rule of Ammons and Chase,
emits noise that comes from his
chest labeled, "demogogy." But why
quarrel with Hawkins? While oper-
ators and strikers and business men
are losing money, his glib tongue is
lining his pockets with gold out Of
the rich chest filled from the saw
ings of the dupes. Good fellow is our
friend Hawkins. If it be desired
butter shall not melt, his silverton-
gued mouth would be its safest reser-
voir. And he can weep and pitch
his voice to tremolo that would
draw tears from John M. Waldron if
paid enough for them. He wasn't
in on T. NJ. P's law office fifteen
years for nothing. An adept pupil,
he is equally as efficacious on one
side as the other. The corporations
should syndicate his tear ducts. Haw-
kins knows that Mother" Jones was
leading the strikers to do rash acts
while she slept and ate in one of the
best hospitals of the state and at the
states expense, whereas officers
wives stopping there had to pay $21
week for board and lodging. She
came here ostentatiously, registers
herself as being from no state to
which to go as she had no habitat.
Mother Jones has been Colorado's IS
honored guest, well housed, well fed,
and she is as pestiferous nuisance
as ever wore petticoats at that

If there is any question as to
whether the outside world is taking

celebration. And these reservations,
with the exposition still nenrly a
year off, represent only those long

VICTORIOUS VILLA TO
ATTACK MONTEREY

TORREON, Mex, April 3.-Having
completed the capture of Torreon last
night Villa begun move against
Saltillo and Monterey. Generals Ur-
bina and Herrar are already en- route
there, where the next battles will be
fought. 1t is not expected these gar
rsons will be strengthened because
of the destruction of the federal gar
rison here. The greatest quantity of
supplies, the largest military stores
and artillery Huerta had were lost
here.
The rebels are burying and burning
corpses, making the city habitahle.
The damage from shells and fire was
enormous. Villas greatest problem is
feeding the starving people here and
at Gomez Palacio and Lerdo, Supplies
are coming from Chihuahua and
Juarez. Soup kitchens have been es-
tablished. Herds of cattle are driven
in to furnish fresh beef.
Torreon fell after all the federal
soldiers had been killed, wounded,
captured or fled. Velasco and his
body guard last night fled from
Canon Delguarche, which he had de-
Tended since Tuesday. The rebel
cavalry are in pursuit. Federal re-
sistance is desperate. The fighting
has been practically incessant since
Saturday.
Prisoners say the federals would
have surrendered earlier but the Of
ficers said the rebels would torture
and execute all prisoners.
The rebel casualties are five hun
dred dead and fifteen hundred wound
ed. The federal loss is unestimated,
but is much greater. Villa said:
"You can say the federal loss is to-
tal." All captured federal volun-
teers vanished. 1t is believed they
were executed. Tie federal "regu-
lars" captured will be forced to re-
build the railroad and dig trenches.
The federals killed all wounded
rebels left on the battlefield after
the first attack on Gomez Palacio.
