Washington. d. c., Feb. 23.-Upon
developments OF the next few days the
case OF William S. Benton. who was
executed by Mexican rebels at Juarez,
seems to rest whether the senate will
take hand in the Mexican situation.
Acting Chairman Shiyely OF the for
eign relations committee. after a
conference with the President. said
II the senate discussed Mexico il
would probably be on some pending
resolutions which had been side
tracked for months. that the admin
istration might be free to deI with
the situation.
The suggestion that the rebel pro-
crastination Is occasioned by possi-
Bile plan to form a new republic OF
northern Mexico states is not new
here
1t is pointed out that an examina-
tion will be made OF the body to dis
close whether Benton was executed
by firing squad or killed by one
shot. No additional details OF the
killing were received.
1t was said there were three reso-
lutions before the senate. One by
Senator Penrose proposed that Unit
ed States troops be placed in Mexico
as a constabulary for the protection
OF Americans.
One by Fall proposes to put the
senate on record that Americans and
their property must be protected.
One by Sheppard concerns reeogni-

SOLDIERS HOME ECHOES.

One more member Of the home had
little practice with the cow-catchei
at a crossing on Saturday last.
The COW catcher passed on and so
did the old soldier. These old chaps
keep the ferryman busy at the river
Styx. Once over that famous stream,
the old coons need not fear any rail
road crossing.
This last food for the locomotive
was not given to booze; and just how,
in broad day light he managed the
circus Is not known to any one unless
Peter was locking out of the Golden
Gates ajar" at the time, expecting an
addition to the family.
The railroad commissioners are go
ing to order all crossings fenced
against old soldiers and other domes-
tic animals.
Every circus has a clown and our
circus |: no exception. The name OF
our clown is Bob forid faced son
.of County Down in the land of Erwin
Gabrah. He has a voice like lone
some coyote on the plains of Kansas:
and sings like fly up the creek"
His nosa is shaped like the bill of
pelican, and often looks as if it had
encountered the busy end of a hornet.
He would make a good "end" man in
ten cent show, but could not be
utilized as dancing master. Strang-
ers entering Bob's ward, often ask If
this is the crazy section of the hospi-
tai. He is the cynosure of all eyes.
His tendency to hector is noticeable;
but his suraveter is made when he
encounters the fair sex, gives him the
appearance of Lord Chesterfield.
Every reader of the Bible, if he
stops 10 think, can see at a glance,
that The difficulty between Cain and
Abel WIS one of commercial suprem-
acy. Abel had monopolized the mar
ket and Cain removed his rival.
The same thing is going on in Eu-
rope, lot of Gains under blood soak
ed banners. struggling for CONNER
cial supremacy in the name of relig-
ion. That's all there is to say, when
asked the cause of the war.

AS SECRETARY OF
NAVY HAS BEEN
SACRED LAW UNTO HIMSELF
1t Was He Who Abolished Every
Kind Of Drink in the
Entire Navy.
Especial Correspondence.)

Nashville, Oct. 20.-So intense ar,
are the governor and his e. B. Stahl
man organ in their devotion to prohi
bition that they regard the recen
speaking itinerary of Secretary Dan
iels through East Tennessee as the
bitterest blow to their sacred cause
And yet Secretary Daniels is probably
the most effective and devoted prohi.
bitionist. judging him by his achieve.
ments, to be found in all this land
Under his leadership North Carolina's
prohibition laws were written. AS
Secretary of the Navy he has been q
law unto himself in the matter of pro-
hibition. By stroke of his determin-
ed and resolute pen, he spread Ameri-
can prohibition as far and as wide as
the Stars and Stripes go on American
battleships. 1t was he who abolished
the use of every kind of alcoholic
drink throughout the navy. Before ii
had been the custom for the officers
and for the men to be given their
grog. Now, not ship that sails un-
der the command of an officer of the
navy is permitted to carry for any
purpose, medicinal or other, one drop
of intoxicating liquor. The order of
the secretary was sweeping and posi-
tive. II created criticism and COM
ment. but the secretary stood hyc it
and today the United States alone of
all the powers has navy that is all
sober.
Yet because the secretary came to
Tennessee and spoke for Wilson de-
mocracy he is condemned by the gov
ernor and the Nashville Banner as a
whiskeyite and foe to the cause. Be-
cause he, along with the anti-saloon
league of the state. regard prohibition
as no longer an issue. as being safe
with both parties and, as democrat,
advises the voters of the state to elect
Tom Rye, there is no good in him.
On his trip he drew great crowds
from Bristol down the way to Chat
tanooga The people met and cheered
him enthusiastically All of which
goes to show that they do their own
thinking and are not persuaded to
wrong view by the mendacious pro-
testations of political marplots.
