THE VOLUNTEERS

And see their banners shine.

With mailed hand at Mexico.
The Volunteers An. where are they
Who babe the hostile surges stay
When the black forts Of Monterey
Frowned on their dauntless line?
When, undismayed amid the shock
OF war, like Cerro Gordo's rock.
They stood, or rushed more -madly on
Than trOpic tempest DER San Juan.
On AngOstura's crowded field
Their shattered columns ScOTned 10 yield,
And wildly yet defiance pealed
Their flashing batteries threats.
And echoed then the rifles crack,
As deadly when the track
on flying foe OF yore its voice
Babe Orleans dark-eyed girls rejoice
Blent with the roar Of guns and bombs.
How grandly from the dim past comes
The roll Of their victorious drums,
Their bugles Joyous notes
" htn over MeXlcos PROUD towers,
And the fair valleys storied bowers.
Fit recOmpenSe OF toll and scars
In triumph waved their flag Of stars.
All comrades Of your own tried troop.
W nose nOHoF he eT 10 me might SIOOp,
OF lion heart and eagle swOOp,
But YOU alone remain:
On all the rest has fallen the hush
OF death: the men whose battle rush
Was wild as sun loOsed torrents flow
On Orizaba's crest Of snow.
The Volunteers! The Volunteers!
God send us peace through all our years,
But If the cloud Of war appears,
Well see them once again
From broad OhiOS peaceful side,
From where the Maumee pours its tide,
From storm dashed Erie'S wintry shore
Shall spring the volunteers once more.

PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE.

President Wilson's war message to
congress may be accepted as the mes
sage of united people. The president
is now. as he always should be, the
spokesman of the nation. Not Presi-
dent Wilson, but the nation acting
through President Wilson, viii con-
duct the affair with Huerta.
There was nothing new in the
presidents message, nothing OF which
the nation was not already cognizant.
The conclusion drawn from the facts
was inevitable, and had already been
drawn by the people. The president,
in his Enthusiastically terse and I'M
derstandable way, presented the log
ic of a deplorable situation which he
himself and the people have with
persistent optimism striven to endure
in hope of betterment. The decision
TO act has been made only when fur
Their inaction has become incon-
ceivable.
Never was a nation more earnestly
in accord with its leader Many sac
rifices of national pride have been
made in the effort to avoid the step
which has become inevitable. The
nation has been patient as Mr.. VIII
son has been patient, almost beyond
the bounds of endurance. The change
has come with the sudden realization
that patience will not serve the ends
of a peace loving people, and that
force must be used to beget peace
and TO protect the honor and welfare
of the United States from the assault
of an irresponsible UPstart.
With President Wilson the nation
hopes that the issue will not come to
actual warfare. and il understands
clearly that if fighting is unavoidable
will he the h1ir-
the people of Mexico. The warships in
Mexican waters will represent the pO-
lice power of a great people bent up
on abating a nuisance. If the work
cannot be done without occupation of
Mexican territory il will not be for
gotten that beyond the abating of
the nuisance the United Estates has

market that has raised the price more

the plan proposed was thought Of too
late to execute.
The Western Sugar company, that por-
ton OF the trust controlling the beet sugar
product has stored millions Of pounds OF
sugar in Council Bluffs warehouses each
winter This sugar has been shipped
from Colorado. Utah and Nebraska TO
evRde the payment of taxes there. For

Council Bluffs warehouses there has
never been any tax levied on the sugar
here, and II has thus practically escaped
all taxation. Hundreds Of thousands OF
bags have been received each year the
shipments beginning early in the fall and
remaining In storage here until demanded
by the markets the following spring and
summer. The smallest amount stored
here in any year for the last five was
about 10000 pounds
The plan formed yesterday contemplated
suit for back taxes covering the last
five years and selling under attachment
proceedings all of the sugar that remained
In storage. II was defeated by the dis
covery that all OF the sugar had been
taken from local warehouses and shipped.
4 great deal OF the sugar has been
shipped out within the last few weeks
and the last within a few days.
For tho first time in the history OF stor-
age business, the sugar manipulators will
have to pay taxes on the storage stocks.

Jobbers yesterday quoted 1S.l5 per 100

general that II would reach $40 by Mon
day Nearly all retailers have very light
