As Others See Us"

hS VlucIS Ut US The Arkansas Legislature has just closed session which for tunately, was limited by law, says the Commercial Appeal.
 The work the legislature failed to do and the work it badly did are the chief characteristics of the session.
 A statewide prohibition bill was passed and this given out to the people as the beginning and the end of all reform.
 Statewide prohibition is now the fashion Time will show the wisdom of the act.
 The Legislature took a mixture of creed in its politics and pass ed bill for inspection of secta- rian hospitals, convents, orphan ages. homes for the aged, poor and the mentally incapacitated.
 The Legislature devoted about three weeks off and on to a race horse bill. After the bill was bitterly contested and passed. at the minute of the eleventh hour. was apparently approved. disap- proved. then approved and again disapproved and vetoed by the governor.
 The governor said in a mess age that he would probably see his political doom in vetoing the bill. and now Arkansas will have a law suit as to whether the governor did or did not veto the bill, and whether the law per hitting racing is law or not a law.
 If the governor had announc- ed the moment the bill was in- troduced that he was against it. it would have not taken five min utes of the Legislature time. but he wiggled around, forward. backwards and sideways. and permitted the Legislature to consume his time and do much about a question that he could have disposed of himself in one word.
 The governor did not seal his doom by vetoing the bill. He made himself an eligible starter in all races that are to be run before the people and decided for the most part by ear-splitting Reclamation.
 The Arkansas Legislature ought to have provided ample funds for it's university, it's pub- lie schools and its agricultural schools and farm demonstration work. It ought to have passed certain laws that were asked for which would give a chance for the development of the marvel ous resources of the State.
 It ought to have framed an act that would permit the con- struction of roads which one could travel on every month in the year. It ought to have reform ed it's board of health and given it power and means to preach the gospel of sanitary living and eating to the people.
 Then it ought to have raised revenues sufficiently by a tax rate to meet these expenses, and finally, Arkansas ought to have reformed it's state and county convict system, and de- cimated its army of free-grabb- ,pr ofEoo holJo~c

READY TO PROCEED
ON AGREED PLAN

Washington, Aug. 10.-With a
definite program for the pacifcation
of Mexico agreed upon, administra-
ton officials today were ready for the
resumption of the Pan-American con-
ference in New York today. At that
time the plan will be taken up for
formal ratification.
There is considerable speculation
here regarding the nature of the
plans. Secretary Lansing, however,
declined to disclose them.
A feeling of optimism prevailed in
official circles today over the outlook
for restoration of peace in Mexico.
This was based upon the belief that a
majority of the Mexican people are
worn and tired of the revolution and
would welcome a movement to end
the strife.

CARR ANzISTS
VERY ACTIVE ON
AMERICAN SIDE
COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE
TO UNITED STATES AUTHORI-
TIES AT NoGALEs, ARIZONA,
AND INVESTIGATION STARTED
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Douglas, Ariz., Aug. 10.-Accord-
ing to advices today from Nogales,
Ariz., complaints have been made to
the United States authorities there of
activity of agents of the Carranza
government who are said to be max
ing their headquarters on the Amer
lean side of the international boun-
dairy across from NogAles, Sonora.
The complaints assert that the Car
rama agents have been trying to
stir up trouble among the forces of
Governor Jose Maytorena, who are
defending the Sonora town against
the Carranza troops under General P.
Elias.
As a result of the complaints, the
dispatch says the United States army
officers have set a closer watch on the
border line.
Hunger demonstrations have oe-
Cured again among the populace of
Hermosillo, capital of Sonora, and
similar movements are said to be ex-
pected at Guaymas. Most of the
suffering is in the smaller towns and
country districts where the men are
away fighting.

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE
FORMED BY RANCHERS

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 1o.--A vigil
ance committee has been formed
among the rsnchers on the American
side of the border in the San Rafael
Valley, 25 miles east of here to main
tain a day and night guard over their
stock against raids by Mexican sol
diers. During the last week, it is
said 500 head of cattle and horses
have been driven across the line into
Mexican territory. The ranchers have
also made an appeal for protection to
the United States cavalry troops
along the border.
The forces under General Gales in
vesting Nogales are camped at San
Ia Cruz, Il miles from San Rafael.
The continuance of the attack on No
gales may be delayed another week
because of the difficulty in repairing
railroad bridges.

VILLA AND GEN. SCOTT
HOLD A. CONFERENCE

Ell Paso, Texas, Aug. 10.-General
Villa crossed the international border
today and entered into conference
with Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of
the United States army, at the home
Of J. F. William. General Scott is a
guest of Williams.
After the conference with Villa,
General Scott issued this statement:
General Villa assured me during
our interview the proposed meeting
of mining men will be postponed in
definitely. The foreign merchandise
seized in Chihuahua last week will
be restored. Violations Of the law,
however, will be prosecuted. MY mis-
sion here is now accomplished"
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1915-08-11

the Villa contingents of the former
army of occupation rallied and street
fighting assumed with the invading
Carranza forces.
At five o'clock the firing, which had
been continual rattle for the two
previous hours, ceased, and in its
place was heard the changing of bells.
Officers and stores, which had been in
the line of fire, were opened and the
occupants emerged to learn that the
city had been captured by Captain
Manuel Sanchez and twenty men of
Carranza's army. It is estimated that
$500 Zapata soldiers fed before this
force, believing it to be much larger.
Captain Sanchez installed himself
in the national palace, the Red Cross
ambulance and cars gathered up the
dead and wounded numbering eleven,
all of whom were civilians, the fight
ing having taken place in the main
streets of the business section. The
city had settled down to the first
breathing spell of the day, when the
Zapata troops, learning that they had
been routed by small force returned.
Sanchez thereupon evacuated the pal
ace which was taken possession by
General Castillo, who occupied it dur
ing the night. When morning broke,
left the palace because of q rumored
report of hostils forces and General
Albania, claiming to be a Villa fol-
lowers, occupied the government Of
fee. Towards noon, heavy firing on
several streets leading to the national
and municipal palaces announced a
second approach of Carranza men.
This firing lasted all forenoon and
we'll into the afternoon and when it
ceased the inhabitants were in doubt
as TO whether the forces Of Villa,
Zapata or Carranza held the capital.
Again Red Cross ambulances made
their rounds and gathered up their
toll of dead and wounded civilians.
The soldiers of all factions escaped.
The American Red Cross headquar-
tiers has been surrounded by crowds
of miserable hungry people piteously
begging for food which the Red Cross
has been unable to give.

Lime and tuberculosis

Or. Roberts Bartholow, former profea-
scr OF jefferson Medical College, PhIIa.
delphIa, says in his MaterIa MedIca (1se5l
on pages 2f5 and 216. "CIInIcaI expert
ence has shown that II (referInn to a cal.
clum sait) possesses the lll-defined prop
erty known as Alternative, removes certain
tixle or norblfie paaterIaIs and secures
their secretion blythe organs OF elInlna-
tlon.s The testimony which has lately
been published In respect to lts curative
powers in consumption Is certainly very
striking"
He does not refer to testimony regard
ing Eckman's Alternative, since the fnedi-
cal profession never publicly recommends
proprietary remedies. However, many
cases of consumption seem to have
yielded to this remedy.
This success may be due largely to the
fact that in Eckmans Alternative a cal
cium Qime) salt is so combined with
other valuable ingredients as to be easily
assfmtlated by the average person. It con-
tains neither opiates, narcotics nor habit
forming drugs, so is safe. At your drug
