$4,000, is now being heard In the mi

| The story told by Mre Holman would
\ rival the most weird creation of the nov
elist; she recited experiences alleged to
| have happened which would equal the
most lurid meodrama. There were times
when Mrs. Holman showed great emo
! ton, at one time breaking down during
! her testimony and for the moment givinc
way to tears. 4 number of letters were
! offered in evidence which Mrs. Holman
had written to Professor Brenton and
Or Waterman while she was confined in
the retreat.
| In these letters Mrs Holman professed
to show deep repentance for the wrong
doing she had admitted; she begged the
forgiveness of Professor Rrenton. and
over and over again announced her in
tentions Of rebuilding her life on new
foundation, Mrs. Holman In her test-

purpose of obtaining release. 1t was the
only way advanced to her for securing

charged with conspiracy to imprison
Mrs. Holman, who was then Mrs Rren-
ton, in an insane retreat in Brattleboro,
and with forcing her to write admissions
which We're used against her in the di-
vorce case which was brought by her
against Professor Brenton on the ground
of cruelty. The divorce case was tried in
the superior court a little over year
ago before Judge Marcus II. Holcomb and
a decree was granted Professor Brenton
on his cross complaint in which he man,

SEC. McADOO CONFERS
WITH COTTON GROWERS

Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary
McAdoo emphatically disapproved Of
proposals for the valorizat!on of
crops because of the European war
at today's conference of cotton and
tobacco growers. He went to the con-
ference to get down to practical
basis.
ANY issue of currency by state
banks is surely unnecessary, said
Secretary McAdoo, and it is waste
of time to talk about it. Enough ma
tional bank currency is authorized by
present law to handle the cotton and
all the other crops in the country.
The secretary of .the treasury has
wide discretion in the issue of tliis
currency. 1t is intended that all cur
rency issued shall be safe. tell you.
that you can not do any
thing worse than to initiate the cur
rency to point where you will
wreck the credit of the country"
Secretary McAdoo added that the
plan was impracticable
and that the valoriZation OF cotton
would mean a demand for the valori-
cation of every other product affect
ed by the European war.

CARDINALS SOON TO
BALLOT FOR POPE

Rome. Aug 25.-Owing to their
feebleness several of the cardinals
who will attend the conclave to Sc
lect successor to Pope Plus X. will
be given rooms in the Vatican near
the Syslian chambers where the bal
loting will be held twice daily. 9th
er cardinals have been notified that
they may attend mass in their rooms
thus avoiding the fatigue of going
every morning to the Pauline chapel.
The fifth congregation of cardin-
ais was held today in the consistory
hall. The meeting was short owing
to the diplomatic reign which it fol-
lows. The diplomats were headed by
Prince Schoenburg Harlenstein. the
Austrian ambassador. who is the
dean of the corps. Other countries
engaged war were represented by the
ministers to the Holy See from Prus-
sia, Bavaria. Russia and Belgium.

ALAS, HEARST!
POOR MR.. HEARST

Strange and bcwildering are the
changes OF policy decided upon by
William Randolph Hearst. Indeed.
1t is difficult to know from day to
day Just where this nimblc thinker
stands on the Mexican situation. For
months and months. after the inccp-
tion of the revolt against fIucrta.
Hearst. in his many newspapers,
dubbed General Francisco Villa as a
bandit" and villain. blood-thirs.
ty and gory-handcd."
Horrible stories were circulated of
alleged dcprcdations said to have
been committed by this rebel. Sud-
denly, like bolt from the blue.
Hearst, on July 30th in signed edi-
torials, declared that it was his opin-
ion that Carranza would make n poor
president and that the only man who
could save Mexico was none other
than the maligned villa.
Thus did he change from n posi-
ton in which he assailcd Villa to one
in which he demanded his occupan-
cy of the national palace. Hearst
even went so far as to demand that
the President of the United States
should deliberately interfere with
Mcxico's internal affairs in order to
bring about Villas presidency.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Hearst, very
little attention was paid to his m-
dicrous change of front. Since then
Mr.. Hearst has undergone another
change of heart. Now he calls villa
n bandit and a "trouble-seeker"
In his New York morning paper of
August 18th, his correspondent in
Mexico attacks Villa in a determined
manner. Thus do we see that
Hcarst's changes of policy are indeed
strange and bewildering.

THE LAND PROBLEM IN MEXICO

What appears to be the only SEN
sible way to remedy the land problem
in Mexico is to return to the "cSi-
dos"-thc name by which the COM
muna. land system of the early Mexi-
can Indians was known.
The Mexican constitution of 1857
aimed to give the people the right to
return to the land. 1t provided IA
sane, practicable system. Thus, the
land surrounding villages was held
as common property, allowing all
who were willing workers to apply
their labor power to the soil. with
out any restrictions whatever All
the land n man was able to till wa.
placed at his disposal.
The "cgidos' proved highly salts
factory. But gradually, during the
regime of Porfirio Diaz. the "egi-
dos were swept to oblivion. BY var
ious tricks and subterfugcs, the poor
were driven from the land. with the
result that menacing system of
landlOrdism grew into existence
Soon Mexico had small land-own-
ing class that literally held the mass
es in slavery. As result. fcudal-
ism became rampant. The tillers of
the soil became poems. actually
slaves.
Then came the revolt. The poems.
refused free access to the land, took
up arms under brave leaders. and as
result the feudal barons have been
driven from the country.
p Now that the constitutionalists
are in control, it is probable that
around each village, land tracts shall
be thrown open for the people to
work upon.
The land will belong to the people
and not to any individual The peo-
pie will o%n the means whereby the
may live, and the individ-
ual may live. and the individual will
live by obtaining his bread by the
sweat of his brow. He will till as
much of the soil as his strength will
enable him, and the harvcsts will be
his. Thus. the communal land sys-
TEN will remedy a trying situation.
