QUERETER0 IS KEY
TO HUERTA'S CAPITAL
United Rebel Armies Under
Villa Number Nearly lOO,-
900 for Final Assault
Mexico City, May 22.-John Sill
man, United States consul at Saltillo,
arrived here this afternoon, safely and
in good health.
Rushing Preparations.

Ell Paso, Texas, May 22.-Their cap
ture of Saltillo was only making the
Mexican rebels more active, according
to messages received here from the
front today.
Preparations were being rushed for
q general movement practically against
Mexico City itself. Queretero was the
point upon which the constitutionalists
expected to converge. 1t is considered
the northern key to the capital, how
ever, and experts said that when it
falls Mexico City will be as good as
lost by its defenders.
Defense Foolish.
The federal evacuation of San Luis
Potosi was considered almost GER
tainty. General Alberto Carrera Tor
res and General Eulalio Gutierrez were
already besieging it when General vii
la moved upon Saltillo, and when his
force, advancing southwark, Joins them,
the federals will be so heavily outnum-
bered that military men said a con
tinued defense would be foolish
Only one thing will delay Villa Is
progress southward-the Saltillo-San
Luis Potosi railroad had been almost
hopelessly wrecked, and Villa will have
to transport his troops by way of the
more indirect Saltillo- Monterey -Tampi-
co-San Luis Potosi route.
Joining Torres and Gutierrez men
at San Luis Potosi, the strengthened
Villa forces will make straight for
Queretaro at their best speed. Consti.
tutionalists on the east coast under
General Gonzales, General CabellerC
and General Jesus Carranza and other
scattered commands which have been
operating to the north and east of Mex
leo City, will hasten in the same direc
tion. With the $4,000 men he has been
leading on the west coast, General OBJ
reg1nn will also join in the march on the
capital.
These armies, united, will give Villa
nearly 100000 men for the final as
sault. Men familiar with the situa
tion in Mexico City said they believed
notwithstanding everything he could
do, President Huerta s force would bt
outnumbered fully to l.

admission from Washington that If il
did the government had no means OF
compelling it to carry the mail. How
ever, the railroads are under constrain-
ing force that is equivalent to compul
sion, for a railroad which refused 10
carry the mails would incur a public
resentment which it could i'll afford to
endure. That circumstance makes the
course of the government in this mat
ter ungenerous. 1t takes advantage of
the fear the railroads have of incur
ring public resentment to constrain
them into rendering a service at less
than it is worth, if not at an absolute
loss. 1t is doubtful If the express
companies have suffered more from
the institution and growth of the par.
Gel post than the railroads have. What
the railroads now transport for the
government they formerly transported
for the express companies, and the ex-
press companies paid them more lib
orally than the government does, so
that the growth of the parcel post sub
tracts from the revenues of the rail-
roads without subtracting anything
from, but adding to, the tonnage they
are required to haul.-Galveston News.

WE MUST HAVE THE LIGHTS.

In the local columns of The Eagle
today is statement from City Elec
trician Smith that the ornamental
lights on Main street are not to be
installed, at least for the present. The
reason is the failure of the merchants
to cooperate in the movement. The
merchants were asked to pay for the
poles, about eight dollars for each
firm, and the city to furnish free the
current for the lights. The Eagle re-
grets this very much and earnestly
hoped that the plan would go through.
We appeal to the council not to aban-
don the idea without further effort.
We believe the council can put the
matter through if they only take hold
of 1t with firm hand. Let the coun.
Gil go in a body, headed by Mayor
Harris. to each business house on
Main street, and in the opinion of The
Eagle the necessary amount can be
raised with all ease. The ornamental
lights as a supplement to the arc
lights, would be a great help, they
would make of Main street a beautiful
white way" and The Eagle would
regret to see the plan abandoned.

FLOUTlNG JUSTICE.

John A. Bensel, State Engineer OF
New York, refused to testify before
grand jury investigating charges OF
graft in road work, unless he was
promised immunity from prosecution
Why?
The only possible answer is that
Bensel is conscious of guilt and hopes,
by confessing under promise of i'm
munity, to escape punishment.
Persons suspected OF crime are per-
mitted to thus defeat the ends of jus.
tice by virtue of the rule of law that
no man shall be compelled to incrimi.
nate himself. This rule had its origin
in the revulsion of the English people
against practices when the courts
were agencies of tyranny and oppres-
sion. The reason of the rule has dis.
appeared, but the rule remains In de.
fiance of the legal maxim where rea-
son of law ceases, law itself ceases"
and that other maxim, mo man can
take advantage of his own wrong"
Why should the State of New York
be deprived of the testimony Of one
of its officers in the effort to uncover
crime? If that officer is innocent of
wrongdoing he has nothing to fear
from the most searching inquiry. If
he is himself guilty there is no valid
reason in common sense why he
should be permitted to defeat justice
The supreme purpose Of the law is
to establish justice. To permit this
New York official to stay out of the
witness chair is to exalt the supposed
right of a guilty individual to shield
himself and place It above the law and
the welfare of society.--Fort Worth
Record.

Valley Forge, Pa, Feb. 24.-Mrs.
William C. Boyett has been appointed
one of the captains in the "Whirlwind
Campaign" for the Patriots Hall at
Valley Forge. This building is partly
built and contains the Valley Forge
Museum of American History. Its
collections include every period of
American history, but its chief treas
ure is Washington Marquee, the
greatest relic Of Washington outside
Mount Vernon. IT, cjsS f,ec is the

vanis has marfei its ste at Valley
Forge-s@here it sheltere iVashington

campment there. The tent has follow
ed the fortunes of the Nation, for it
was seized at Arlington House in 1861,
as it was the property of Mrs. Robert
Z. Lee. the daughter of Washington
adopted son. During President Nc
Kinley's administration it was return
ed to the family, and Miss Mary Curtis
Lee sold it for $4,000. and it was
brought from the National Museum
to Valley Forge. To protect this price
less treasure an effort is being made
to raise $4,000 for the completion of
Patriots Hall. Our State is expected I
to raise $1,000 for this patriotic pur-
pose, and Mrs. William c. Boyett is
engaged in this laudable work. She
is well known for her patriotism.

'SULzER STILL AFTER
GOVERNORSH|P
Tests Validity Of impeachment Court
and Demands Salary for Full
Time as Governor.

Albany, n. Y, Feb 24.-Willian
Sulzer yesterday instituted legal pro
ceedings before Justice Alden Chester
of the Supreme Court with the pur
pose of regaining the GovernorshiT
from which he was removed last DC
tober.
An order was issued by the court
commanding Comptroller Sohmer to
appear and show cause why a writ OF
mandamus compelling him to pay the
former Governor his full salary as the
occupant of that office should not be
issued, Mr.. Sulzer previously had
made written demand on Mr.. Sob
mer for his salary.
When Attorney General Carmody
notified Justice Chester that he would
oppose the granting of the writ the
court said he intended to refuse 1t as
a matter OF law, holding that the court
of impeachment had passed on the
contentious of Mr.. Sulzer.
To Take Case to Supreme Court.
An agreement then was made be-
tween the Attorney General and Col.
Alexander S. Bacon, counsel for Sui
ger, to facilitate the determination by
the State courts OF the questions In.
volved. The appellate division will
be asked to affirm Justice Chester's
proposed order denying the granting
of the writ and then the case will be
carried to the Court of Appeals, where
a similar request will be made. Thus
Mr.. Sulzer will be able to file his case
in the Supreme Court OF the United
States with little delay. it is believed
Doubt is expressed, however, II final
decision can be obtained from the
Supreme Court before the term of
Governor Glynn, successor to Mr.. Sal.
zer shall have expired on December
81, 1914.
The contentious raised by Mr.. Sui.
ger were passed on fully by the court
of Impeachment. Chief among them
are that the Assembly action in i'm
peaching him was Illegal; that the
court of impeachment was illegally or.
that six members OF the
court had ne right to sit, and that the
acts with which he was sharged were
committed before he took office.

ANNOUNCED ENTs
FOR CONGRESS-:
HON. RUFUS HARDY, Corsieana.
THE SOUTHERN STATES COTTON
CORPORATION.

The Eagle warned the farmers
when the Southern States Cotton Cor
poration first appeared on the scene,
to be careful. We stated that their
scheme to make cotton bring 10 cents,
anyhow when it was only worth 10,
looked like fellow trying to lift him
self over the fence by his bootstraps.
Certain farmers who sold their cotton
through the concern are now suing to
have it thrown into bankruptcy. The
farmers will learn after awhile that
the price of cotton is regulated by
supply and demand. That they have
the fixing of the price OF cotton in
their own hands and can make it high
or low according to the amount they
produce. This thing of holding cot
ton in warehouses is the merest folly
and will produce the greatest con-
fusion and uncertainty in prices of
any scheme that could possibly be adj
vanced. To hold cotton from one year
over to the next absolutely places the
cotton farmer in the hands and at the
mercy of the spinner. II the cotton
is made and stored, the spinner knows
1t as well as anybody else and he also
knows that the farmer needs the
money worse than he needs the cot
ton and that sooner or later he'll get
It. You say the farmer can borrow
money on his cotton. Sure he can,
but when he does he is only forging
another hammer to knock the price.
That money that he borrows has got
to be repaid and it will come due at
a time (under the holding plan) when
there are two crops on hand. The
banker says, II must have my money"
The spinner says, There is large
surplus on hand and | can only pay
a certain price," With these two
forces knocking, the farmer h forced
to sell at whatever price he can get.
The logical thing to do is to sell
every bale, and not hold a pound.
Drain the country dry and let the
spinners know there is not bale to
be had Tor love or money Right then
they'll begin to get on the anxious
seat for cotton to keep their spindles
going and fill their orders for goods.
II the acreage is so reduced that a
short crop is foregone conclusion,
they'll pay fancy price to get it.
On the other hand, If the cotton is
held over and there are two crops on
hand at one time, the farmers are at
the mercy of Tiberius.
