FINANCIERs FORCE WAR.

Late news from Washington is 10 the
effect that a food Of Tight is thrown
upon the real causes Of the Mexican
revolution by testimony secretly taken
by a subcommittee Of the Senate for
eign relations committee. The testi-
mony exposes clearly the great financial
powers which are fighting under cover
to obtain control of the rich resources
Of Mexico. They, the financial hogs,
are not concerned with the conditions
and needs Of the Mexican people, nei-
Their do they care for the slaughter
Of American and Mexican lives which
is happening in the name Of liberty.
They are wrestling silently, but with
every nerve strained, 70 gain possession
of the vast transportation system Of
Mexico, and with that in their grip
they viii command the gold, copper and
oil mines Of the republic.
This deplorable condition as well as
that Of the Colorado mining trouble is
but the outgrowth Of the damnable
greed Of the already oyer-rieh class.
Such tactics BY those who have far
more Of the worlds goods than is nee
essary for the most extravagant career
imaginable are fast besmearing our
boosted free republic with shame, and
wore than that, making life cherries
and a hardship for struggling men,
women and children who make up the
masses Of the country population.

Did it ever occur to you that the

many acres Of land he cultivates? If a
farmer turns off only one beef steer

farmer cultiyates only 40 acres instead
of 50, the consumer Of food stuffs is

How to Teli the erlzzlies.

Donalds description OF the per-
forming bear that ne had seen down
the street grew perceptibly more pic
turesque when it developed that no
other member Of the family had seen
the animal, and enlarged from just
a plain bear into monsuous grizzly.
Skeptical Dorothy, from her superior
eight years, questioning some of his
details, even demanded proof that it
was a grizzly at all. The convincing
rejoinder was forthcoming that while
he had been standing right across
