Join the Proeressives.

Columbus, O., Feb. 2S.-Open war
on monopoly was advocated by United
States Senator Borah of Idaho in an
address here before the Republicans
of Ohio at get together" luncheon
on Thursday. The time has come for
remedies, not palliatives," in dealing
with industrial monopoles, he said,

of the Republican party.
At the same time he assailed the
attitude on this issue Of such leaders
OF the Progressive party as former

olies were the proper thing and all
they need Is little regulation"

TAFT UPHOLDS WILSON
SAYS INTERVENTION MEANS
UNLESS LOSS OF LIFE.
Former President Expresses His Views
on Mexico Problem in Ad-
dress at Capital.

Washington March 2. - Former
Mexican problem Friday. In speech
before the National Geographic So
ciety he warned the administration
against intervention. The cost in
money and lives, he said, would be
enormous and the results of doubtful
benefit.
THE situation is in such a condi
tion," Mr.. Taft said, that it would be
improper for me to comment on it, ex-
cept to say this: That those who
lightly look forward to Intervention
are either utterly regardless of the
loss of life and the expenditure of i'm
mense treasure, or else they don't un-
derstand what armed Intervention on
the part of this government in Mexico
will mean.
Those of us who have had expert
ence in the transquiIizing of tropical
country with people not very differ
ent from the Mexicans, who take
naturally to guerrilla warfare and
would rather fight and run than work,
know the difficulties that an army
would have to meet to accomplish the
only purpose that we would have in
going in-the bringing about of law
and order
at would involve the garrisoning
with a sufficient force Of every town.
1t would involve the organization Of
columns to chase the guerrillas into
their mountain Businesses and across
trackless desert plains and the subju-
cation of 100000 of people
81 don't know when we would get
through, don't know how many lives
1t would involve, | don't know how
much it would cost, but l do know it
would be a drag upon us, and then
when we got the thing done the future
would still be charge and burden
on our government and on our
treasury"
Professor Taft afterward was the
guest Of President Wilson at luncheon
at the White House. Mr.. Taft's calls
at the White House have been fire.

De PALMA WINS RACE
VICTOR OF VANDERBILT CONTEST
AT SANTA MONICA, CAL, MAKES
75.5 MILES AN HOUR.
OLDFIELD is CLOSE SECOND
Daring Driver Perils Mechaniclan and
Himself When He PIows Ahead Of
Italian at death Curve"-Crowd
Gives Him an Ovation.

Santa Monica Race Course, Cal,
Feb. 28.-The Vanderbilt cup automo-
bile classic was won by Ralph de
Palma on Thursday when he sent his
Mercedes car 294.035 miles in hours
81 minutes and Al seconds. This Is
an average of 75.5 miles an hour. Bar
ney Oldtield, driving a Mercer car,
was second in hours 55 minutes and
l second.
At the beginning of the thirtieth lap
De Palma was 80 seconds behind Old
field, but the latter started 85 seconds
ahead of De Palma and would have to
gain 60 seconds in the remaining five
laps to defeat the winner of the last
Vanderbilt cup race.
Oldfield went into the lead at the
end of the twenty-third lap, with De
Palma close second. The crowd
went wild when the announcement
was made that George Joermann, pilot
of the Touraine, an entry that was be-
lieved without a possible chance of
running more than a few laps, was the
surprise of the classic. At the end of
his nineteenth lap Joermann was
driving a clever race and holding
tight grip on fifth place. When Old
field had completed rs laps he was still
in the lead, followed in order by De
Palma, Carlson, Cooper, Joermann and
Janette.
AS Oldfield passed De Palma he en-
acted a piece of the most daring driv-
ing ever witnessed on any Vanderbilt
cup race course. The two machines
had passed the grand stand with only
few seconds separating them. AS they
approached death curve" a right
angle turn, Oldtield put on all power
and overlook De Palma With death
for himself and his mechanician GER
tainty If he sent his car one inch out
of the path, Oldfield dashed onto the
curve and swung around De Palma's
Mercedes.
He kept the lead on the straight
away and passed the grand stand 100
feet ahead of De Palma. The shouting
of the crowd was thunderous.
Car No. l ives sent away by Starter
Wagner at 1905 o'clock.
Spencer Wishart, in No. 2, made the
first lap at 80 miles an hour, although
soft spot developed by the recent
rains caused the cars to skid danger
ously at one of the turns.
The distance is 294.035 miles, or 36
laps Of the S.401-mile course, which
ought to be covered by the winners in
less than four hours, it is said.

STUDENTS LEAVE FOR HOMES AZ
TER TWO DEATHS IN DAY.
Miss ona Reno, Heroic Young Nurse,
Dies After Taking Care Of
Many Patients.

Champaign, ILL.,, Feb 27.-Despite
statements by the state board of health
and local authorities that the scarlet
fever situation at the University of
Illinois was well in hand, 300 students
fed to their homes Wednesday, many
obeying the requests Of anxious par
ents.
Although no new cases were re-
ported in the student body, two deaths
carried panic to the university, Cham
paign and Urbana. Miss Ona Reno, a
young nurse in the Julia Z. Burnham
Training school, died martyr to her
work. Mrs. Henry L. Lingren of Ur-
bana, bride of six months, was the
other victim.
Warned that service in the isolation
was not mandatory and also was
dangerous, Miss Reno responded by
declaring that she wanted to volunteer
She was assigned to the care Of 8. H.
Cater, a student from Princeton, who
died last week.
Champaign physicians passed reso-
lutions reciting the heroic sacrifice of
the young woman.
E. A. Hardt, representing the state
board of health, said the board had
not even considered the idea of quar-
antining the twin cities, the situation
being well in hand. Dean Clark, chair
man of the university health commit
tee, issued a statement advising stu
dents to go to classes and not to go
home.

Defiance From Rebel chieftain Gre
ates Grave Crisis in Mexican
Affairs.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Juarez, Mexico.-Gen. Venustiano
Carranza, supreme chief of the Mex
lean constitutionalists, has thrown
down the gauntlet to the United States.
The rebel chieftain refused to allow
the American expedition to start for
Chihuahua to examine the body of
William Benton, a British subject put
to death in Juarez.
Col. Fidel Avila, military commander
here, declined to permit the investi-
eating committee to board the regular
passenger train which was waiting He
said he acted upon orders from Car
rama.
Whether the incident means delay
or the permanent prohibition of the
mission could not be learned. The
mystery thrown around the occurrence
led to many rumors of an apparently
exaggerated nature.
The defiance of the United States
by Carranza has created a new and
grave crisis in Mexican affairs.
The commissioners, with their lug
gage were at the train in Juarez when
they were informed that they were
not to go.
None of the commissioners would
talk about the latest turn in affairs.
Maj. Davidson said that the subject
was one which he could not discuss

WHAT AN OHIOAN
HAS TO SAY ABOUT CONDITIONS
IN WESTERN CANADA.

w. E. Lewis formerly lived near
Dayton, Ohio. He went to Saskatche-
wan seven years ago with $1,SOO in
money, carload of household effects
and farm implements, including four
horses and three COWS. OF course, the
first year he only got feed from the
crops, but the second year had 100
acres in wheat which made over $500
bushels. He has not had a failure in
crop, and at present has % head Of
horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs,
and owns 1,120 acres of land, all un-
der cultivation. He has been offered
$S5 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose of his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
900 to the good; but, as he says.
Where could go to invest my money
and get as good returns" He con-
tinues In his letter to the immigration
department, August, 1912:
I'VE have equally as good If not
better prospects for crops this year as
we had three years ago, when our
wheat ranged from 80 to 4S bushels
per acre. never believed such crops
could be raised until / saw them my
self. had Is acres that year that
made so bushels to the acre. Our
harvest will be ready by the 18TH.
We have this season in crop 400 acres
of wheat, 125 Of oats, 80 of flax and
run three binders with four men to
do the stocking. We certainly like
this country and the winters, although
the winters are cold at times, but we
do not suffer as one would think.
What we have accomplished here can
be duplicated in almost any CT the
new districts. s."-Advertisement.
