especially invited to attend and will
be given a fair division of time
81 made answer through the press
that it would please me much to join
in such discussions as soon as | could
obtain release from duties at Washing
ton that imperatively demanded my
personal presence then. Notwith-
standing my inability to be present
and for perfectly justifable reasons,
it pleased candidate Kirby, as he ira
versed the country in Northwestern
Arkansas, to say that he had insisted
upon my presence, but that for rea-
sons of my own had declined to meet
him in joint debate; that the things
he said about me were things that he
had right to say, since he had af-
forded me the opportunity to be pres
ent and controvert them if | thought
could do so successfully. He fairly
increased his reputation for oratorical
courage, and this delusion stimulated
him to an energy of expressions that
he has been unable to exhibit since.
The insincerity of his declarations
have since been made manifest.
"On the first of January, | returned
to Little Rock. | addressed a polite
note to Judge Kirby calling his at
tention to the offer he had previously
made at the bottom of the poster an
nouncing his speaking dates in Ben
ton County, and asked him to desig-
nate time when conference might
be held with him or his representative
with a view of agreeing on a list of
appointments. After delay of two
days, he informed me that he must
decline a joint discussion. He ad-
vanced as his reasons therefor the
fact that he had made certain charges
against me that | had admitted, and
| that therefore there was nothing to
discuss. He also added that had re
fused to speak to him on one occasion
and that for these reasons he must
| penaliZe me by denying me an OPP
portunity to accept an offer that he
had previously urged upon me. | do
not believe the candidate was sincere
in making these things as the basis
of his refusal, In the first place.
my statement concerning the Argenta
Railway Company was printed before
he left Little Rock to fill his engage
ments in Benton County. He knew
then all that he ever knew about my
alleged admissions concerning this
transaction. He also knew that the
little incident to which he refers as my
refusal to speak to him. occurred some
days or weeks before he deliberately
printed at the bottom of his circular
a statement that | was invited to be
present and participate in a Joint dis
cussion with him If these things
were influential with him as motive
for declining a joint discussion, they
should have operated to prevent his
having made the tender in the first
instance, because in point of time they
preceded the publication of his chal-
lenge to me. Candid men who seek
for the real motives of people will be
inclined to conclude that candidate
Kirby never intended to engage in

ARE CLOUDS GATHERING?
self to save


 What is going to happen when the armsladen steamer Autilla arrives outside the harbor of Tampico which Huerta declares is blocladed? What is brewing in the coustutonalist camp where rumor has 1t that harmony among the leaders has taken flight? Are storm clouds gathering spite of the brilliant rays which the sun light of mediation is casting upon the scene? Is it the calm before the storm?
 The further mediation goes the longer the road grows. At least this seems to be the case
 Later an armistice was made a condition and Car ranza promptly refused But the United States seems to see the need of their inclusion after going ahead without them up this time Evidently Che president appreciates that with Huerta alone is but to swap places with him.
 The New York papers published last Friday what was claimed to be the tentative plan of the mediators This was Huertas retirement provisional government by commissioners named by the medators to carry out land reforms and Constitutonalist election for which Huerta would be eligible as a candidate The United States would at once withdraw from Vera Cruz
 Of course any government to which the United states agrees in advance it must at once recognize. But what would this accomplish with Villa within a month of Mexico City? It is absurd to suppose he or carranaa would consent to the plan agreed upon the paciheation of Mexico S stn a dream
 All that is left of the Huerta government is terror Those who are suspected fayoring him. disappear Aceordngto newspaper correspondents the best on earth no one there dares speak above whisper of public affairs and every one is held under suspicion Unless the recent supply of munitions while Villa is de- ned such aid changes the face of things the atters army win soon be at the ciy's gates
 To demand that he stop now that he accept anything less than complete victory is like whisting against the wind According to the wireless which has replaced the grapevine" Carranza also Is preparing to announce his provisional government of which he will be president He prefers to do this himself rather than leave it to mediation
 1t is safe to say that his cabinet win not include Huerta follower nor even non-committal In fact the lines are SO sharply drawn that middle ground is left and when the medators try And 1t they are hunting a myth stiH mediation may succeed and gentle ways for once prevail in Mexico. Also the millennium may come and with this administration may learn worldly wisdom. or Che difference between philanthropy and statesmanship.

The fashionable summer resorts are not anticipating a banner season
 this year. The proprietor of large and well known hotel on the New Eng land coast who was in town the other day to engage his help for the season spoke rather dismally of the outlook for the summer business He said that up to the first of May he had received fewer than 400 requests for the rel serve of accommodations at his hotel during the season. In good years, he stated the number of such requests frequently exceeded 1000 Proprie. tors of many other summer hotels and beach attractions have been heard re- gently to speak o tthe outlook in terms of deep pessimism
