Appeal to Senator Ashurst.
The telegram sent to United States
Senator Ashurst reads:
Having appealed to Washington in
vain for some relief, the citizens at
Naco now come to you and ask you
to help us. For two months Mexican
factions have been fighting for pos.
session of Naco, Sonora, which has
been strongly fortified by almost i'm.
pregnable trenches surrounding the
town, with the international line as q
base. Mexican factions have DELHI
erately used the border towns as a
means of retreat without considering
how many American lives were sacri
feed. 1t made no difference to them
as long as they could get munitions
and supplies.
"There is no safety in the streets
day or night and very little in the
houses. We suggest you introduce a
bill providing for automatically clos
ing Mexican border ports when they
become the battle-ground for foreign
factions, obtaining immediate passage
if possible. Five have been killed and
forty-two wounded and the end is not
yet. For Gods sake, help u.s.

GOES ONLY 96 FEET IN AIR
But Deed Starts at Pin Point at Gen.
ter of Earth.

A deed has been filed to a piece of
ground beginning at pin point in the
center of the earth, extending up
through the heart of st. Paul and pro-
jecting exactly 96A feet into the blue
sky above.
The deed has been submitted for
entry in the books of M. w. Fitzger-
aid, registrar of titles, by the North.
ern Pacific Railway company. It is
intended to give to the First National
bank title to that part of the site the
bank will occupy in the new Hill build
ing at st. Paul.
The odd feature of the deed Is the
clause conveying title to everything
below surface to the center of the
earth and to a specified chunk of air
which ends abruptly 96A feet above.
The rest of the air space is specific
ally reserved by the railroad company.

agreeable occupation IN walking over the less
drequented parts of the earths surface and
stalking out claims to the minerals that he would
discover by his susceptibility to the Hertzian
alpha, beta and gamma rays for which he be-
lieves himself to have affinity. Or what would
probably be equally profitable, without as
much hard work, he might strike his pick into
the vaudeville gold mine and reap a swelling
cornucopia of prosperity by exhibiting on the
stage for the benefit of Americans ever anxious
TO pay money for novelty.

he carries becomes an active vibrant, switching

any of the precious metals are located is in

Prohibition Vote Coming.

The enabling bill has now passed both
branches of the general assembly, and II is as
sure anything in the futuAs can be that in
September next vote will be taken State
wide or local option, and the probability is that
prohibition will carry. The enabling act is very
liberal in its provisions allowing wines beer
and cider to be manufactured in tho State for
export, and there is no provision for preventing
the shipment Of these liquors any other
liquors. into the State in the event prohibition
should carry In fact, the bill is so liberal that
we do not how prohibitionists can he very
enthusiastic over il, nor how those who are
content to take their toddes at home can ser-
tousy object to it, far their convent
5encc is concerned Prohibition under the
row in Tennessee and North Carolina and the
quantity OF liquor consumed in the State would
not be considerably reduced 1t would certainly
not be appreciably reduced In this particular
section of the State, and apprehend that the
law would be little regarded as it now is in
Warwick county
But Will take up those details the
proper time. Suffice il TO say that the
ypaign Will soon be on, and hope that it will
be conducted in an orderly manner and in good
ten<"r There is occasion to fuss about it.
The matter had been discussed in every phase
of 1t during the past several years, and IL can
not be said that the prohibitionists took any
unfair advantage Statewide was made an issue
in the last State campaign and most of the
candidates for the Legislature received their in
structions in advance. The people are deter
mined to take vote Statewide, and the peo-
pie rule. We have never been in favor of
Statewide prohibition. but we were not opposed
TO the passage of the enabling bill. 1t has been
apparent for four years that the people wanted
the question submitted to Il vote and the legis-
lature had no right to deny them.

FIRE INFORMATION.

That the old horse drawn fire apparatus should
be supplanted by motor.driven apparatus was
clearly demonstrated Friday night when a fire
broke out down town, and, with streets covered
with snow, the horses had a pretty hard time
moving the apparatus at all The motor engine
had little difficulty and got to the fire in good
time
Richmond has been right in the front in the
matter of modern fire fighting apparatus, and
provision has been made in this years budget
for further Improvement 1t is another step in
the right direction
There is no more valuable department than
the fire department The city would be at

Arms and the Man In Mexico.

1t is believed by thoughtful observers of af-
fairs in Mexico that the lifting of the embargo
would possess problematical advantage for the
ends the United States seeks to advance. The
Constitutionalists have by far the largest part
OF their task before them in their march south.
The taking of Torreon, Mexico City and Saltillo
are before the separate divisions of the rebel
forces before they carry out their de-
ternined march to the south These feats
would be but the prelude to the tremendous
task of capturing the capital.
It is more than doubtful whether, with the
embargo lifted the rebels could then carry on,
this program with success or whether they
would be so materially aided to give grateful
ecognition to this country for It's aid with
practical advantage so much in doubt, and with
the unpleasant reflection that the arms thus
secured might eventually be turned against the
forces Of this country. there Is reason for
serious reflection before taking the step.
Villa is a common villain and not Mt all the
kind OF man to carry out any part Of this
countrys policy OF unseating an immorally
exalted dictator The procuring of arms for
the rebels is of more than doubtful wisdom and
the definite support Of the man Villa is even less
advisable. As for Japan---that country still has
sense enough not to dabble too deeply in the
Mexican muddle.-Baltimore American

Prepares For the Battle.

Editor. Richmond yirginian, Sir:
Now watch the side-steppers--who are always
for Temperance" but have been suffi-
GENTLY to align themselves with organized
efforts against the liauor traffic-inveigh against
the enabling act as too Wet" The fact that we
did not succeed in eliminating all the objec-
tionable features inserted in by the senate is
not sufficient cause for any man who is at heart
opposed to the licensed liquor traffic to turn
turtle, A great forward step has been taken,
and the next legislature is confidently expected
to repair the small leak in the bill and when
the prohibition provided in the enabling ac.
goes into effect the requisite additional laws
will also be simultaneously effective and we
will have dry Virginia. 1t will be necessary
to make vigorous campaign and every man
and woman who has at heart the of
prohibition should exert their every effort to so
thoroughly arouse and inform their friends and
neighbors to result in a sweeping dry ma
iority in September. The passage of the
enabling act is but the beginning of the bat
tie. Let deceive himself into thinking
the victory will be attained with little effort.
The liquor interests and their allies are cum
ming. adrot and resourcefui The dry side
of the battle needs to corral all their logical
vote. The church vote should be practically a
unit with Educate, agitate, organize.
should be the watch words And the people who
have for lang sought the emancipation of
the State from the thraldom of the licensed
liquor traffic will register such majority at
the polls will blast the hopes of the enemy
for all time.
All hail TO the Anti-Saoon league-the great
clearing house of organized temperance agencies
and its intrepid leaders. All hail TO the minis
tiers of the gospel. who have bravey and
consistently proclaimed the unrghteousness OF
the licensed liquor traffic, All hail to The vir-
