judiciary Committee has not act
ed. and that nothing could be
done unless that body made q
report. But the Judiciary Commit
tee declines to be the goat" any
longer and has reported without
recommendation both proposed
constitutional amendments for
, the action of the house.
Reports from Washington indi-
cate that vote will be forced in
the House at this session on the
prohibition amendment. Doubt is
expressed that the Senate, even
if the amendment is adopted by
the House will concur at this time.
1t is not believed that the suff-
rage amendment would prevail in
either house. Southern Senators
and Representative solidly oppose
any enlargement of the franchise
at present. nor is there any over
whelming woman suffrage drift
discernible in the representations
of either section of country. The
preDonderance of opinion among
the statesmen at Washington is
that the qualifications for suff-
rage should be left to the states.
1t is we'll, however. that the two
issues should be met and dispos-
ed of. SO far as Congress is con-
cerned. so that the national legis-
lators may be relieved from the
harassing and embarrassing i'm
portunities of the suffrage and
prohibition supporters. and that
their constituents may be able to
Fin them down to a definite eX-
preston of opinion on subjects

fashion

1t has been quite the fashion
for newspapers and public speak
ers in the United States to refer
contemptuously to Villa as ban
dit and cut-throat. There has
been marked tendency to magni-
fy his faults and minimize his
virtues. even among American
sympathizers with the Consiltc-
tionalist cause. Recent events
have thrown a somewhat different
light upon this one strong, COM
handing military figure in Mexi-

the friend of the United States,
and if he keeps faith with us as
tcnaciously as he has to the
memory of MaderO and as he does
to his weaker chief. Carranza, he
will deserve our respect and graf
itude.
The vtrility of Villa and his
keenness to scent any deep-laid
scheme of Huerta to inveicle him
int" an act of hostility against the
the United States are strikingly
shown i'm his reply to General
Mas, of Huerta's army. that the
federals and rebels unite to
avenge Mexico for the American
occupation of Vera Cruz. Villa
declined i'm vigorous language to
be led into any such trap and de-
clared in plain terms that Huer-
Ia and his supporters directly in
yited the intervention of the
United States.
A word from this so-called
bandit would have turned so, OuL
Constituencies troops against

word was not given. but on the
contrary Villa has publicly en-
pressed his belief that the Presi-
dent of the United States has been
"honest. sincere and patient in
his dealings with my people. and
! have every confidence in his
honesty and ability to bring about
permanent peace"
Tn view of the facts it would
seem that loyal citizens of The

a thoughtless tendency to defamc

END OF a STORMY LIFE

General Daniel f.. SlckleS had a

his 93 years of life he was con-

shattered and death seemingly
near, General Sickles was baptiz-
ed into the Roman Catholic faith
on the scene of conflict and re-
manned a devout follower of that
faith until his death. more than a
half century later.
Following the war General
SickleS was elected to Congress
and then achieved international
notoriety by the sensational
shooting of his friend Key, upon
his discovery of meretricious re-
lations between Key and Mrs.
Sickles. Later ON General Sickles

the Spanish Court and became 50

So far as has been observed

was a lot of evidence secured at
the hearing tending to show that
that city has had lot Of blinn

little or nothing developed to

PROOF OF The PUDDING

People nave been arguing for q
generation or two about the VAL
lie of a protective tariff to farm
products. the Republicans claim
ing it was necessary to have SUCH
tariff in order to get fair price
for our farm products, while the
Democrats claimed that the price
is regulated by the supply and
demand.
The Republicans had talked
this over so much that most OF
them at last came to believe that
the farmer couldn't thrive without
a protective tariff, and when the
last president they elected advo-

ed to kick him out Of office.
Well, when the Democrats came
into power the very first thing
they did was to put wheat and
wool and eggs on the free list, and
what has been the result?
;, Instead of wheat going down in
price, it went up. And it was the
same way with wool and eggs.
Yes the price of everyone of
these. articles has advanced. and
everybody now knows that the Re-
publican cry for a protective tar
if on farm products had nothing
whatever to sustain it.
Two men once argued a long
time as to which of two buildings
was the best. Being unable to set
tie the matter by argument they
finally decided to eat the buildings
and see. They did so, and now
the people have decided the much
disputed tariff question in the
same way.
With the price Of wheat, wool
and eggs all higher under free
trade than under protective tar
if the Republicans are now like
the boy that the calf kicked over
they have nothing to say.
