Mexican Trip Diary
Written Eleven Years Ago.

The Journal publishes this morning
the first installment of a diary writ
ten by F. F. Bingham on a trip made
through Mexico in the latter part Of
1903, nearly eleven years ago.
In addition to the fact that this
diary is written in the attractive style
so characteristic OF Mr.. Bingham
literary work, it is of particular in
terest now in view of the present com
plications in Mexico. Mr.. Bingham
impressions of Mexico written eleven
years ago were not influenced by any
impending trouble with the United
States and they constitute a valuable
contribution to subject Of which
Americans today are trying to learn all
that can be learned
The Journal will present an INSTALL
ment of this diary each Sunday until
it is concluded and we believe the
readers of this paper will take the
keenest delight in the articles as well
as receive much valuable information
which could hardly be secured in any
other way.

Last week Tax Assessor Bates receiv-
ed an unsigned letter from a town in
Seminole county stating that unless
he placed the property of that dis
trict back to the low figures that it
formally was assessed that he would
not receive vote in that section,
This writer evidentalIy thought that
Bates was afraid Of his position but
he reckoned not upon the Irish as
SCISSOR of Seminole, for Bates is as
sessing property to get the true
property values on the tax books
and not to get votes and this letter
ought to elect him to office if he had
no other claim upon the suffrage of
the voters.
The anonymous letter writer has no
place in politics or in civilization. He
is a relic of the dark ages, of ring
rule and Of barbarism and should be
ostraCtsed by being consigned to OBJ
Iivion where he belongs with his dark
lantern methods.

principal champion in the eight hours
Of debate and at times his remarks

Explains His Defeat.
In the course OF his concluding
argument for the amendment. Rep.
Hobson charged that his de-
feat by Oscar W. Underwood for the
United States senate could be traced
directly to his advocacy of prohibition.
He added that his defeat had been
accomplished by "a combination OF
the liquor trust. the steel trust, Wall
st, the governor Of Alabama and
Pres't Wilson"
My colleague, Mr. Helm. threw in
my face my defeat for the United
States senate" said Mr.. Hob
son. Mr.. Underwood did not fight
me alone / do not know whether he
knew it or not, but the whis6ey trust
state TO oppose me and Wall st. the
great mines and steel plants fought
me.
THAT is not all, the governor OF

CIoseneSS of Vote on HobSon'S
Proposed Prohibition Amend
ment Encourages Foes of
nTraffiC to Renew Efforts.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
closeness of the vote on Hobson's ma
tionaI prohibition amendment in the
house last night led his supporters
today to say that they will try again
with the next congress. All admit
that defeat was expected, not only by
the advocates OF the measure but by
its sponsor, but the splendid showing
they made has given them encourage
ment 10 new efforts. The vote by
which the amendment was defeated
was 1877 10 1S9. Although this was a
majority Of the votes cast, the amend
ment failed of adoption because a two
thirds vote is necessary for the adOp-
ton OF all amendments 10 the consti-
tuition Of the United States.
Had the amendment been in the
form OF a bill or a resolution propos-
ing new legislation il would have
passed, as the prohibitionists had a
majority OF eight votes on the decisive
roll call.
The fight in the senate for a sim
liar amendment pending there may be
dropped for the present as a result Of
the house action. but prohibition
leaders here declare they are gaining
ground and will not give up the strug-
gle.
How They Lined Up.

ton ia we're democrats, 6S were re-
publicans. II were progressives and
four were independents.
The defeat of the resolution came
after Ia hours of spirited debate. with
the leaders in the struggle wearied and
the galleries thinned Of their audience.
Applause from these opposing the
resolution followed announcement Of
the defeat of the measure
Party lines were broken down in
the final vote. Democrats. republic
ans and pros ressives discarded tenn
porarily all leadership and each mem
Der cast his vote in the way demanded
in his opinion by the majority of the
voters IN his particular district.
Mr.. HobsOn resisted successfully all
efforts TO amend his resolution in ma
terial way. He accepted only an
amendment inserting the words "eX-
pOrtation" in the early part of the
resolution to prevent the expectation

Halle was arrested in connection
