The Evacuation of Vera Cruz.

Inc Evacuation Oh vera SIuZ.
The evacuation of Vera Cruz
was ordered by President Wilson
on Sept. Is. The American SOL
diers and marines under General
Funston who have held MeXico's
principal seaport since it was
seized by the fleet April q last
will embark for home as soon as
the transports can go after them
and shortly afterward all of the
war fleet except a few light draft
vessels will be withdrawn.
This is the concluding chapter
of the second armed conflict be-
tween the United States and
Mexico, in which a score of
Americans lost their lives. nearly
hundred were wounded and up
wards of 800 Mexicans were kill
ed or wounded.
Plans for the evacuation of
Vera Cruz were completed Sept.
q by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Garrison. The latter sent
word to Gen. Funston that as
soon as the State Department
could adjust certain questions
which had arisen over the pay
ment of funds collected at the
custom house and American re-
fuges be cared for, a date would
be fixed for the departure of the
troops.
Secretary Garrison expressed
the opinion that the troops prob
ably would be able to get away
within a fortnight or so. The
secretary made it clear that the
American government would not
undertake to care for any of the
refugees in Vera Cruz except
Americans and the 800 nuns and
priests there, and that Washing
ton would assume responsibility
only for the Americans. Church
organizations of other countries,
it is presumed, will pay for the
transportation of the others, un-
less foreign governments request
relief. Gen. Funston estimates
that besides the 300 so-called re-
ligious refugees, there are 1000
others who desire to leave before
the evacuation begins.
Conditions throughout Mexico
are regaining rapidly their nor
NAL appearance according to con-
sular dispatches. State Depart
ment officials had report from
Chihuahua saying the reports
that Gen. Villa had arrested Gen.
Obregon were untrue. The two
men engaged in a heated argu-
ment over the best method of
settling the difficulties in Sonora,
but afterwards came to a def
mite understanding.

The truth is an almighty in
strument and he who tells it bare
faced and unadorned with lit
tie diplomacy is usually termed
a knocker. Many times in using
this two edged sword it is vitality
essential that it be garnished
with bit of indirectness that
the full impact soak in slowly.

Russia Promises a Reunited Poland. ::

Poland, a country of twenty
five million inhabitants, wa S
stricken from the map in 1895,
and like big pie it was cut into
three slices, and a slice each ap-
propriated to Russia, Prussia and
Austria. That was the crime of
the century, and now Russia
promises that down-trodden peo-
pie a reunited country. That
may be expected to be one of the
great results of the present Fran
co-Russo-Anglican war upon Ger
many and Austria.

The Man Who Voluntarily Sells Cotton
at Present Prices is Traitor.

ut Present Prices Is traitor.
This then is the situation: not
over 10 or Is per cent of the
worlds spindles are likely to
stop; even this decrease in con-
sumption in Europe will be par
TALLY made good by the increas-
ed consumption of American
mills; and as soon as the war is
over, as DR.. Carver points out,
these countries which have not
been able to get cotton will be
clamoring for it."
And yet, there are foolish
American farmers in every State
simply giving away their cotton
at ridiculous prices before the
cotton exchanges open, and be-
fore the financial world has time
to catch its breath and find out
whether it is really hurt or only
scared.
Perhaps some of these farmers
are compelled to sell, and we may
excuse them. but for the others
there is just one thing to say.
That thing is that every man who
sells bale of cotton at present
fictitious prices, unless compell-
ed to do so by necessity, is not
only playing the fool so far as
his own interests are concerned,
but is a traitor to his fellow farm
ers.
If he himself only were getting
hurt, we might let him alone,
but he is depressing prices for
everybody else in the South.
Four or five thousand farmers
scattered over the South by &C
cepting the ridiculous prices re-
Gently offered, or else by insist
ing on giving away their cotton
to somebody when there was no
market at all, these few irrespon-
sible cotton growers have come
mighty near establishing an eight
cent level for prices that it will
take energetic action from Vir-
ginia to Texas to overcome.
1t is our belief that if the cot
ton exchanges could have remain
ed open, prices would have grad
ually adjusted themselves to low
er levels, but that the abused
New York cotton gamblers
would never have brought prices
so low as farmers have done by
the South-wide bear" move
ment they have themselves in
stituted. Progressive Farmer.

IRELAND HCME RULE
BILL IS NOW A LAW
House Of Commons Decides
Long Fight by a Majority
of " Votes.

London.-Home rule for ireland be-
came assured when the house of com
mons, by majority of n. passed the
Irish home rule bill for Its third and
last reading. The vote was 351 to
274, and the measure becomes law In
a month whether 1t is sanctioned by
the house of lords or not
A senate of 40 members, house OF
commons of 164 members.
Irish parliament cannot legislate on
peace or war, navy, army, foreign re-
lations, coinage or legal tender.
The Irish parliament takes over the
constabulary at the end of six years
and may demand the control OF old
age pensions and national insurance,
giving one years notice.
The imperial government is to col
lect the taxes and pay these to the
Irish government with certain addi-
tional sums. The Irish parliament
may, under certain conditions, add to
the taxes.
Ireland runs her postoffice.
The number OF Irish members in the
imperial parliament Is reduced to AZ.
Religion is strictly safeguarded.
The imperial government retains an
absolute veto power.
The passing Of the home rule bill
has, not led to the breaking of a single
head In Ireland. The predictions made
by certain unionists that Its final
adoption by the house of commons
would be followed by fierce outbursts
In Ulster and sanguinary conflicts be-
tween the orangemen and the nation
alists have proved to be untrue thus
far.
A curious feature Of the situation is
that the unionist leaders are now de-
claring that the Ulster volunteers are
preserving peace In Ulster.

Senator Brady has spent consider

was met by the Idaho Senator but his
arguments We're so logical and convin

very bitter debate. His speech in

NO REASON FOR
THIRD PARTY
Candidate for Senator Tosses the
Harpoon Into the Third
Party Idea.

Pocatello, Ida.-Tuesday nigh
Frank R. Gooding, speaking in the
interests of his candidacy for the
United States senate, said among
other things:
II see no reason for third party
in Idaho this year, with such men
as Senator Borah at the head of the
Republican party, and the man Who
votes for the third party in Idaho
is voting for the Democratic party"
In view of the fact that the former
governor was thought to be flirting
with the Progressiv element for the
past year, his statement came as a
surprise.
He spoke at some length on tariff
issues and made an exceptionally
able talk along that line.
