WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2s.
Representative Harrison of Missis
sippi, Democrat, today opposed the
presidents request for repeal of the
free tolls exemption, stating that he
regretted to differ with the chief ex-
ecutive, but that he believed "free
tolls" is economically right and no
violation of treaty rights of Great
Britain.
Have we spent $400,O0O,00O in

achieve success in the undertaking
merely now to surrender our control
and rights ?"
Are we now to bow in humble hu-
mility to Great Britain merely be
cause it is a powerful nation, thinks,
now situated as we are, confronted by
international complications, would
reasonable contention for the sordid
consideration of assisting us to settle
a question that, although it is close
to US, yet after all is in the interest
of humanity"
After this veiled reference to the
Mexican situation and this country's
desire for Great Britain's support
there, Harrison declared:
"As much as l admire and honor
our president, l cannot reconcile my
conscience to his view and surrender
to Great Britain what to me seems to
be principle of national honor and
integrity. L prefer to vote my con-
victions, follow the platform of my
party and stand up for the integrity
and honor of my government"

Villa doesn't drink or smoke. It's
an old story that he first began life
as bandit, when rurale, mount
ed policeman, outraged his sister, and
was killed by Villa, who had to flee
for his life. A mysterious American
girl has been his consort for several
years; she is black-eyed, black haired
and beautiful. Villa is bad man as
far as the costums Of civilization go.
There can be no doubt of it. But he
is strong man, who controls not on
ly other men, but himself. When he
is bad, it isn't through weakness, and
that may be a point in his favor. In
the latter months he has begun to pay
more attention to the business side of
his revolution. Whenever he goes to
a town, he establishes an office. He
receives his callers in business-like
fashion, dressed in business clothes,
listens impatiently when story is
too long and then gives his decision
like a shot. And he has never been
known to change, whether he was
right or wrong. Is Villa killer ?

We. have not sought to use COM
