sition ever before had been presented
to q great legislative body as the de-
mand of President Wilson that the
congress should repeal the tolls

question whether we were right or

ITO comply with the request said

terly subversive Of every consideration
of self respect that even those who In
tend to capitulate will raise the ques

their action in defensible ground be-
fore acceding to the presidents re-
quest.
1--WE owe it to our sense or consist :
ency to practice in the present case
what for so many years we nave 50
strenuously preached as general
rule.
THE national honor requires that
we should stand for our rights under
as well as apart from our treaties, ou1
1t does not require that we should dos :
gedly insist on being the sole inter :
prefer of treaties to which others are
parties and which define their rights

Vera Cduz, Mexico. May 1s-A rum :
ored concentration of Mexican federal
troops before the American lines in the
vicinity Of Vergara Station, two miles
out on the Inter-Oceanic railroad, failed
to materialize into the early morning
attack which had been predicted by
natives who entered Vera Cruz yester-
day.
The night passed without any Incl
dent at the American outposts and no
indication was given that General Ma
varrete or General Pena, contemplated
any violation Of the armistice.
From several quarters rumors were
persistently circulated yesterday con-
corning Mexican troop movements in
the vicinity of the American outposts.
The army headquarters stan was dis
inclined to take these rumors seriously
but precautions were taken to guard
against any possible night surprise.
Under the general precautionary
plans drawn up by the headquarters
staff the marines and bluejackets on
board the American fleet are held in
readiness to come ashore at an hours s
notice in case the garrison should be
attacked.

A RAILROAD RULE REVERSED.
Farmers Buying Up MiIwaukee's OIe
RIGHT Of Wav

Manning, May 1s-The decidedly un-
usual incident of farmers buying the
right of way from a railroad, reversing
the rule for the first time 80 far as
known. is being witnessed here In the
reconstruction Of the Milwaukee rail :
road thru Iowa many curves are taken
out and the greatest change any
where in the state is being made thru
this city and for a distance on either
side of the town. At present the line
runs thru the south part Of the town
and the new line runs thru the north
section. In thus abandoning a right OF
way long in use the railroad company
has a large lot Of real estate which 1t
is selling. Farmers along the line are
buying the roadbed and right Of way
and adding 1t to their abutting farms.
and a proposition is being discussed
here to have the city buy the right Of
way thru the city and turn it into a
park. with a roadway thru the city
from east to west. In this direct vicin :
ity the hailroad has over three miles
Of right Of way which it is disposins g
OF to private parties.

SHORT STICKS TO PULPIT.
Sioux City Pastor Makes No Reply te
Demand For RESIGNATION.

Sioux City. May 1S.-Rev. Wallace
NJ. Short pastor Of the First Congre-
gational church, has made no response
to the petition presented IL him last
Sunday by members Of the church ask
ing for his resignation. Church Off
GERS expected Rev. Mr.. Short to reply
to the petition last week, but the pas
tor has made no statement. Conse-
quently, the church officers have called
a special meeting Of the church mem
bership for o'clock Sunday. with the
intention of terminating the present
pastorate. 1t is thought thal Rev. Mr..
Short is waiting TO learn the attitude
of the congregation as whole be-
fore presenting his resignation.
The friction between the pastor and
members of his congregation arose
over a temperance sermon preached by
Rev Mr. Short on May 3. In that ser
mon the pastor declared that he could
not conscientiously ally himself with
the prohibition workers IN their pres
ent fight against the saloon petition
of consent.
It is the belief Of Rev. .Ir. Scott, as
expressed in the sermon, that legisla-
ton is not the proper solution of the
temperance problem. He held, rather.
that man being endowed with free
well. the control of an appetite for
strong drink should be from within.
He advocated a system of education
against the saloon rather than legis-
latiOn as the ultimate solution to the
problem.
Immediately following the sermon q
meeting of the congregation was
called and resolutions We're drawn
stating the attitude Of the pastor was
not the attitude of the church. A pc
tition was circulated later in the week
asking for the resignation of Rev. Mr..

London, May 1S.-Gloom has been
cast over the American colony in Lon

cumbed to heart disease. His death is
deeply regretted not 8oniy in the Eng

where he was almost as well known as
in London on account of his brilliant
F.; after dinner speeches.
Mr.. Griffiths was one of the most
popular American officials who ever
held office in England. The reputation
he won during his occupancy of the
American consulate in Liverpool for his
close attention to the duties of his Of
| flee as well as for his good fellowship
| was fully maintained by him, while he
| was in London.
Consul General Griffiths was the
| most sought after speaker in London
and he certainly delivered more
speeches and addresses after his ar
| rival here in 1909 than any other man
, during the same period of time. He was
a most prolific writer and he sent very
extensive reports to the state depart
ment at Washington while he still
found time to do considerable literary
| work.
i The British press today pays the
highest tribute to the late consul gen.
erals abilities.
