Leaving Kershaw, the Wilson
survey" soon got away above or

J. c. Broom. 80 years old, who
lives five miles east OF Kershaw. and
in Kershaw county, says new line is
about one-fourth mile north Of what
his father, Wesley Broom. deceas-
ed. always claimed as the line.
Never heard anyone say line was so
far north, and the general impression
was new line" was at wrong place.
His land was bounced on north by

When we got within three miles OF

DESPISED THISTLE
Is Good for Feed. Western
farmers find that weed pests
can be sold and bring good
prices.

The weeds of the prairies, which the
farmers of western Kansas have been
trying for years to stamp OUT burn
out, exterminate one way or another,
are now proving to be valuable
enough to ship, and many western
Kansas farmers this year found
spending money for christmas through
the sale of the once worthless and
pestiferouS Russin thistle, sweet clover

The SOAP weed grows wild all

hauling it to the nearest railway sta

PROSPECT HILL.

The migration bill now before
Congress may quietly be dropped.
as it is generally known that the
President is opposed to it in its
present shape. The literacy test
seems to be the bug bear in the
bill, while it seems to the rank
and file that that should recon-
mend it.
Before the passage of the cur
rency bill peoples opinions were
of a pessimistic turn, now since
it has become a law, they are
decidedly optomistic. The ele-
ments of wisdom are thus found
to be in the people, for wise men
change their minds-fools never.
Sunday we attended church in
Cheyenne Wells. We found the
Parson, Rev. Scott, in good spir-
its and spoke tiuently of the bet
ter way and the. way to attain it.
The congregation was in a re-
ceptive mood and all spent a
profitable hour at worship.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elem Wyant,
Grant Edwards and Lon Rirn
were guests at Prospect Hill on
Monday. Mrs. Wyant and the
writers wife did the visiting,
while the rest of US pulled a
pump that had been out of CON-
mission. 1t was a pleasant day
all around and we discussed
everything even to Mexico, con-
sidering it better to bear those
ills we have than to fly to others
we know not Of.

United States intervening in
Mexico. The nation-and for
that matter. the world acqui-
esces in the Presidents policy Of
'watchful waiting" The Con-
,stitutionalists are slowly pushing
their lines nearer and nearer to
the city of Mexico. The days of
the murderous usurpers are num-
bered. The story of the final
catastrophe may fill the papers at
any time. And yet not single
soldier in blue has crossed the
Rio Grande. We are permitting
Mexicans to determine the desti-
ny of Mexico.
A few months ago powerful in
terests on both sides Of the At
lantic were intent on forcing this
country's hand. They clamored
for Intervention and their clamors
were echoed in a portion of the
American press. The President
was denounced as a mollycoddle
who was careless of the nations
''honor, and unscrupulous press
agents famed popular passion
with stories of mythical out
RACES" perpetrated on American
residents in Mexico. called at
tention to this propaganda at the
time and indicated the authors as
clearly as possible. l predicted
that the President would not
stampede" and he has fully
verified the prophesy. Through
the storm of abuse and villifica-
ton he serenely held his course,
and now the whole world ap-
plauds his sagacity and courage.
A NEW DIPLOMACY.
Of course, he did net play the
game according to the rules.
That's what amazed the Euro
pean diplomats. They could not
understand this Princeton school
masters system. Some of their
countrymen made the same COM
plant concerning the military
tactics of the young Napoleon
during the immortal Italian cam
paign. Napoleon's tactics led to
victory and Wilson'S policy will
lead to something bigger and
finr than any triumph ever
achieved on tented fie'd-.the en-
forcement of a great nations
will without the firing of a shot
or the sacrifice of a soldier.
We were discussing these
things the other night at the Ma
tional Press Club-that mecca of
the Washington correspondent
and one of the newspaper boys
told the story of one of the inter-
esting developments of the Mex
ican situation.
1T may be, as you say" said
he that Wilson does not play
this diplomatic game according
to the rules: but he do PLAY
THE GAME" Don't forget
that for a moment.
LAS an example observe how
he stood our esteemed John Bull.
on his head. When Porfrro Diaz
was about to get his political
ghost and quit Mexico, he gave a
practical lesson of the immensely
valuable oil.fields of Mexico to S.
Pearson & Co., limited, of Lon
don.
Nov, Pearson is the Rookie
feller of England. and has to use
his Mexican oil monopoly to pro-
vide John Bulls fuel oil. About
that time Winston Churchill, the
financial admiralty, announced

vessel was decidedly passe, and
must be superseded by the up
to- the. minute oil.burning dread
naughts. This was a swat on
the solar plexus for your Uncle
Kaiser Wilhelm while he could
build oil burning battle ships he
did not have the oil to keep them
going.
MADERO TURNS DOWN
PEARSON.
UNFORTUNATELY for Churchill's
plans. Madero who succeeded
Diaz, was an inquisitive cuss.
He had distinguished attorneys
examine the grant to Pearson
and they reported it was illegal,
and recommended its cancella-
ton. Madero was about to act
on this suggestion. but before he
could do 80 he was bribed to be-
tray and assasinate him. The
tquestion now was who put up the
money for this piece of DEVILS
work, 1 will leave it to your i'm
agination.
ITO assist you in reaching a.
just conclusion and to point out
that Huerta endeavored to force
the Mexican government to con-
firm the Pearson grant and when
the members refused, put them
into Jail and caused a number to
be executed. And then dissolved
Congress and ordered a new
election. With the assistance of
the Army he returned a Con-
gress which would do anything
he suggested.
"Then Woodrow, the school
master. who knows not the rules
of the diplomatic game, sat in
and asked for them, then he de-
Lvered his famous Mobile speech,
in which he told the world that
this country did not look with
favor on any of these concessions
in Latin-America. After that
he concluded that the land con-
cessions made by Huerta would
not be recognized by the United
States. About that time the
German Ambassador to Mexico
developed a great friendship for
John Lind, the personal repre-
sentative. He was so fond of
him that he used to travel all the
way from the City of Mexico to
Vera Cruz to have an opportuni-
ty to whisper a few words in his
ear.
John Bull is not as dense as
some people would have you be-
lieve. He knows when he is up
against it. and he was up against
it for fair in Mexico. So he
dropped out of the game as grace
fully as possible and sent word
to Uncle Sam that his boy,
Woodrow, might have the entire
Mexican jackpot, and his John
Bull's) blessing,
And now to the kernel of my
story: If Woodrow, the school,
master, had not spoiled this lit
tie game, :; Pearson would have
supplied Huerta with all the
funds he needed and the murder
er of Madero could not have been
driven from power unless Uncle
Sam sent an Army across the
Rio Grande. incidentally, Eng
land would have had a monopoly
of the greatest oil fields in the
world and Kaiser Wilhelm would
have an incurable attack Of in
somnia. AS it is, Huerta is slow

that the old coal burning type of
