Like many other thinking men, in
congress and out of it, I have my own
ideas as to what should be done, but
my pride of opinion does not carry
me so far as to oppose everything
elese if can not get just what want
believe there is sufficient ability
and craftsmanship in this congress
to solve the problem that is before us,
and I will support any plan that
meets the approval Of the majority.
I have been an advocate of a rural
credits system and have introduced a
bill along this line. I believe that
the problem fthe South of today
would be solved If we had system by
which farmers could borrow money
direct from the government on their
farm lands, on long time, and at low
rates of interest. If we had that law
today the farmer who has cotton
could borrow money-not on his cot
ton but on his land-and he could
store his cotton and grow other crops
until cotton again became profitable.
The mechanic in the city or town
who finds himself thrown out of en-
ployment because of the business de-
preston could under such law buN
little farm and make a living for
himself and his family while he was
paying for his home. Farm land,
managed and titled by an ambitious
man, would be as good security for
government loan as a government
bond itself.
1 think we might pass such a law
as this and get it in operation within
short time, and that it would be the
salvation fthe South, and there will
probably come times when it would
be the salvation of the farmers OF
other sections of the country.
But if it be impossible to work out
a rural credits bill now and put 1t in
operation, then do something elese.
Give us emergency legislation OF
some kind, for there can be no deny
ing the fact that the people OF the
South today need help as badly as any
peopIe ever needed . it. And I am not
vet ready to believe that congress will
adjourn without giving it.
I can not conclude these remarks,
Mr.. speaker, without giving express
sion to a thought that weighs very
heavily upon me, and that is that the
farmers of the South are themselves
very largely to blame for the plight
they are in today. OF course they had
nothing to do with bringing on the
war in Europe and thus cutting of the
market for their cotton, but they have
been to blame for attempting to gro"
nothing but cotton. BY doing TINS
they have put themselves at the mercy
of people and conditions over wnich
they could have no control. Inc
climate of the South is ideal; its SOIL
is the most fertile in the world. The
people of the South can grow success
fully any crop that is grown any
where in the United States. The peo-
where in the nited States. The peo-
pie of the South can make all their
foodstuffs at home. And if they had
been doing this, and making cotton

PEACE IN SIGHT
FOR MEXICO
Messages Say that Carranza Has
Agreed to Resign. Villa
May Leave Country.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Peace in
Mexico, after weeks of dissension
among the generals of the victorious
constitutionalist army, at last seemed
in sight today, according to messages
from United States government agents
in the southern republic.
Soon after American Consul Silli-
man telegraphed from Mexico City
early in the day that hostilities be-
tween the forces of the Agusascalient-
es convention and those loyal to Gen.
Carranza had ceased, came message
from Leon Canova, special agent of
the American government at Aguas-
calientes, stating that Carranza had
telegraphed his intention of resigning.
Secretary Bryan made public Can
ova's message, which was dated p.
m. yesterday but did not comment on
it. Although the dispatch was ! de-
,layed in reaching here, no word Of a
similar nature has come from other
sources in Mexico.
Both May Leave.
Previous messages, however, had
described the efforts of the various
generals to reach compromise and
officials tonight thought it not unlike
ly that in the interests of domestic
peace, both Gen. Carranza and Gen.
Villa would leave Mexico while the
national government was being reor-
ganized.
1t was suggested in some quarters
that Eulalio Gutierrez, the new pro-
visional president, might name iVllaI
to foreign military mission, per-
haps as an observer in the European
war. Carranza, it is believed, might
also leave the country.
The White House today made pub
lie a message received by President
Wilson from Provisional President
Gutierrez setting forth the latter's
aim for reconstruction in Mexico. The
message made no reference to recog-
milton but was interpreted as a bid
for it.
Has Not Yet Arisen.
Secretary Bryan said in reply to in
uuiries later, that the question Of rec
ognition had mot arisen"
Since press dispatches and tele-
grams to the constitutional headquar-
ters made no mention of the success
full outcome of the peace conferences
there was a disposition in some quar-
ters to await further advices from
Carranza before accepting the infor-
nation given to Special Agent Canova
by the Mexican generals at the Aguas-
calientes convention.
Secretary Bryan tonight made the
following announcement:
"a dispatch from American Consul
Silliman dated this forenoon in Mex
leo City, received by the state depart
ment tonight, reports the negotia-
tons as still pending. We do not
know, therefore, whether this con-
flicts with the report we received
from Aguascalientes this afternoon or
whether Canova, who is there, has
later information"
1t was pointed out that as Carranza
is in Cordoba, Consul Silliman may
not be in as good a position to learn
the latest developments in the situa-
ton as Canova, who is detailed with
Gutierrez at Aguascalientes.

Equal Application.

The argument In favor OF elaboration
In amending our written Constitution has
equal application to the function which
the Supreme Court performs In its con-
struction. Those against whom the SUI
preme Court decides have had their day
in court. The Judgment after a full hear
ing has been considered and by men
whose tenure and emoluments as Judges
are beyond impairment or dimnution by
Congress or the Executive. The defeated
may feel incensed, may assert the injss-
tice OF the conclusion, but the fairness OF
hearing and the Independence OF the court
necessarily modify their militant attitude.
Judges are men and are liable at times
