 made visit to Arkansas,( and there in- terviewed the very distinguished states man. Returning to Alabama, Colonel Musgrove, in language peculiarly chaste and picturesque, told of his travels.
 Evidently he believed that the farmers of Alabama would overlook the fact that MT. Clarke fighting for his life, was grasping at a straw. Evidently, he for got that If the farmers of Alabama na d ever doubted Underwood they would never believe that President Wilson was also a trickster. Evidently, he forgot that the farmers of Alabama would be made acquainted with MT. Clarke, the Hobson type of progressive who was the only democrat in the Senate who fought the bill providing for the direct election of senators.
 Clarke Capsule Joke
 The farmers of Alabama are no longer to be fooled. The farmers of Walker county may have swallowed the Clarke capsule. The farmers of Arkansas have not. The farmers of Alabama will show by their ballots April 6 that they repu- diate efforts to play on their preiudices, and repudiate the activities of "progres- sives" of the Clarke type, especially those who live in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Ar kansas, to dictate the course of politics in Alabama.
 MT. Clarke may be elected. A distin- guished senator who has endeavored to save the farmers s10,00O0O0 a year through the operation of bill which, it is be- lieved, he never hoped to enact into law, is, at the present time, in deep water. He is eight votes behind. If he returns to Washington he will spend many un- pleasant moments, 1t Is possible, in ex- blaming why 1t happens that the far mers are no longer susceptible to the pc culiar wiles of artful politicians.

 The countryside spoke graphically of the years of revolution. Everywhere there were roofless and unoccupied houses, which had been the homes of the wealthy and ranchers in the days of peace In the hamlet of Ruente del India, where Carranza was received by General Chao not a house was oc- cupied. Not a window remained in any of them, and all showed signs of pre- vious battles.
 Delay first was occasioned while Carranza waited for his troop train to catch up. This done, other hours were consumed while the soldiers waited for new uniforms. leggins and hats The pilot train which preceded the troop train ran into town for the sup plies and when it returned there was a great scramble for the outfits. The brown mesa immediately became a clothing store and box cars and the abandoned houses were turned into dressing rooms.
 It was dusk when the cavalcade mounted once again and conscious of sartorial achievements, started on a trot for the city. The streets were illuminated and triumphal arches blazed with many colored incandescent bulbs.
 At the monument General Carranza was wildly cheered. He spoke in ac- knowledgement of the welcome and then repaired to the house set aside for him in the Avineda Juarez. For merly it belonged to Mexican. whose political affiliations were not liked by the rebels and his property was confisca ted. Other speakers were Syl- vestre Terrazas, secretary of the state of Chihuahua, who spoke on behalf of General Villa; Gustavo Padres, mayor of Juarez, and F'rederico Con- zales Garza, counsellor to the military commander of the Juarez garrison. General Carranza said he expected to spend several days in Juarez, probably until the battle of Torreon is decided.

Support Move to Repeal the
Adamson Act.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-That
Republican Senators will assist Pres
ident Wilson in his campaign to pre-
vent discrimination in favor of Amer
lean shipping passing through the
Panama Canal was the general belief
here to-day as result of a speech
made by Theodore e. Burton, of Ohio,
last night. Addressing the peace and
arbitration meeting of the American
Peace Society, the Senator said:
AN unfavorable impression has
been created by our attitude upon the
Panama Canal. The preference given
to our Goa stwise shipping in relieving
ii from the payment of tolls when
passing through the canal is directly
contrary to our traditional policy,
which has been one of insistence upon
the navigation of all channels"

Wilson and Sims Confer
On Repeating Act.

WASHINGTON Feb. 1O.-The Pan
anna Canal tolls question was dis
cussed at conferenc to- day between
President Wilson and Representative
Sims. of Tennessee. The latter is a
member of the House Committee on
Interoceanic Canals. 1t Is said that
plans are now being made for putting
into action the proper legislative ma
chinery for repeating the Adamson act
providing for the exemption of Amer
lean coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls. A definite announce
ment as to the procedure is expected
shortly.
Enough Senate Democrats are OPP
posed to Presiden. Wilson's plan to
repeal the tolls provision, however, to
threaten the Presidents control over
that body. The minority is generally
opposed to the Presidents view. This
situation is the basis Of the prediction
that the Democrats will caucus on the
questiaon and attempt to bind recall
citrant members by such action.
