ion, or pay a heavy fine. He imposed
fines of $500 on George H. Burdick,
former city editor of the New York
Tribune, and VIM. l.. Curtin, reporter,
for refusal to answer such question
before the grand Jury. Burdick and
Curtin, it was shown were respons-
ihle for the publication OF a story in
the Tribune, giving advance informa-
tion as to grand jury action of the
Littaur and Heieteneir-A Alexander
smuggling cases.
After calling them before the grand
jury the federal district attorney de-
manded that they tell where the in
formation was received Both refus-
ed on grounds that by so doing they
might incriminate themselves. On
request, President Wilson signed par
dons in advance for both men but they
still refused to answer the question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. Interest
in Mexican affairs centered in Chi
huahua City today There George G.
Carothers, special agent of the state
department, and Consul Marion Letch-
er were endeavoring to complete ar
langements for an inspection OF the
body of VIM. S. Benton by an Amer
lean army surgeon and by Chas. Per
ceval, British consul at Galveston.
Perceval remained In Ell Paso, the
guest Of General Hugh Scott, waiting
for assurances that he could visit
chihuahua without fear of death.
Secretary Bryan expected that Villa
would finally consent to the disinter-
ment Of the body and that General
Scott would Immediately send two of
4 his best surgeons with Mrs. Benton
to. view it.
The state department says today
that its reports regarding some Amer
leans held In Jail In Juarez, showed
that all were accused Of minor
/ crimes. drunkenness, robbery Or hght.
Ing. They are in no danger and this
government has no intention Of inter-
fering with the work /: of the local
authorities in dealing with them un-
der ordinary civil procedure. Gustav
Bauch, it is now certain is not in jail
there and there is practically little
doubt felt in official quarters that he
has been executed as a spy. Consul
Edwards is continuing his efforts to
obtain exact conditions. The state
department is keeping close watch on
the Texas authorities. The defiant
attitude of Governor Golquitt has on
several occasions threatened to cause
serious trouble which would involve
the national government. At the
time that Madero's forces made their
first attempt more than two years
ago, Governor Colquitt threatened te
order the Texas National Guard into
action because some stray bullets
crossed the river into El Paso. Three
times since then Colquitt has threat
ened to get off the reservation" but
each time has been curbed by direct
telegrams from the state department
In order to place the responsibility
squarely, Secretary Bryan has plain
" told the Texas executive that /
ne sends state troops into Mexico
for any purpose whatever he will ser
icusly involve this government. HI
intimated today that he expected hi
warming would effectively quench th'
renewed Texas situation" which
state department officials intimate
has each time had its inspiration il
political motives.
The state department toda,
received telegram from Cor
sui Letcher at Chihuahua Cit
saying that villa had consente
to an American army surgeon accom-
panying Mrs. Benton to that city t
view Benton's body. Villa maintaine
his original determination not to tut,

An Inherent Privilege.

The charge made in certain quarters
to the effect that those who favor q
state convention for the purpose of Sc
lecting candidates for state positions
are opposed to the primary law and
work for its repeal, has little fOunda-
tion. What is wanted is mOdifc fcation,
to make it possible to keep up party
organizations. A republican form of
government necessarily leads to party
organizations, without which the reigns
of government would soon revert into
the hands of the few, with the masses
reduced to mere cipher. Perhaps this
is what is wanted by the parties oppos-
ed to modification of the primary law
in its present shape, in order to retain
their undue advantages, made possible
by that law, although never intended
by it's Trainer. The public at large
however, has no intention to sanction
will take good care to give the law the
necessary elasticity to insure popular
government. 1t is really absurd to
hold that a given constituency has no
legal right to convene and discuss aud
agree upon candidates and policies
they desire to support, and they never
will consent to having this right taken
away. The principle of non-partisan
election law aims to insure to every
idividual voter the privilege of casting
his vote unhampered by party restic-
tions, but it does not contain the ele-
ments of a sacrifice IF an inherent pri-
vilege-the right of free speech in pub
lie meeting. 81. Eliminate the objection
able features in the present law and
the talked of repeal will quickly lose
it's force.-St. Peter Free Press.

 The great business men who organ ized and financed monopoly and those who administered 1t in actual every day transactions have year after year until now either denied its existence or justified it as necessary for the ef- fective maintenance and development of the vast business processes of the country in the modern circumstances of trade and manufacture and finance, but all the while opinion has made head against them. The average busi- ness man is convinced that the ways of liberty are also the ways of peace and the ways of success as well, and at last the masters of business on the great scale have begun to yield their preference and purpose, perhaps their Judgment also, in honorable surrender.
 What we are purposing to do, there fore, is happily not to hamper or in- terfere with business as enlightened business men prefer to do it or in any sense to put it under the ban. The antagOniSm between business and gov ernment is over. We are now about to give expression to the best business judgment of America. to what we know to be the business conscience and honor of the land The govern ment and business men are ready to meet each other halfway in common effort to square business methods with both public opinion and the law. The best informed men of the business world condemn the methods and proc esses and consequences of monopoly ss we condemn them. and the instinc- tive judgment of the vast majority of business men everywhere goes with them. We shall now be their spokes- men That is the strength of OUT po eition and the sure prophecy of what will ensue when our reasonab ble work Is done.
 When serious contest ends. when men unite in opinion and purpose, those who are to change their ways of business joining with those who ask for the change. it is possible to effect it in the way in which prudent and thoughtful and patriotic men WSbAh WISH iO SS>c- IT. lhuSui with as few. as slight, as easy and simple business readJustments as pos sible In the circumsta rces, nothing es- sential disturbed, nothing torn up by the roots, no parts rent asunder which can be left in wholesome com btnatlon. Fortunately, no measures of sweeping or novel change are neces- sary. It will be understood that our object is not to unsettle business or anywhere seriously to break its estab- hshed courses athwart. On the con trary we desire the laws we are now about to pass to be the bulwsrks and safeguards of industry against the forces that have disturbed it.
