reviewing the situation for some time.

failed to heed his suggestion OF two

now be resorted to.
The presidents most probable course
will be 10 urge General Carranza. for
the first time, to confer with other fac

peace. Should Carranza again refuse,
this plan 1t is said, contemplates efforts

BRITISH SEND ANOTHER NOTE
Still Insist On Their Right To Run
the Universe.

Washigton.-In announcing the re-
ceipt from Great Britain of a reply
TO the American note OF March 30
which protested against the British or
der in council and French decree OF
similar contents, Secretary Lansing
stated that the dispatch Of a new note
TO the allies on the subject. which has
been under consideration for s>veral
weeks, would now be delayed until the
latest communication from London was
thoroughly studied.
With the sending Of the note last
week to Germany on submarine war
fare, the general impression given In
official quarters was that the protest
to Great Britain would go forward
within another week. The arrival OF
a new note from Sir Edward Grey ar
gulng at length in defense Of the So
called blockade under the order in
council has given the lawyers of the
state department additional phases OF
the case for examination.

Give Them the Limit

We have naught but admiration and respect for
Judge A. B. Anderson of that Indianapolis federal
district who conducted the Terre Haute election
trials
He proved to be one of the federal judges who pro-
NOTES public respect for courts which has been at
very low stage in this country and we judge by his
Hrmness and fearlessness that he fully realizes the
importance to the nation of these Because of
the conduct and character of Judge Anderson it is
safe and justifiable to make comment on these
cases which comment, otherwise, might be decidedly
out of place as well as premature.
1t is doubtful if there has occurred in all of past
history an expose OF political corruption approach
ing this Terre Haute case in brazenness and vena-
ity. Boldly by use of money, bludgeon and brutal
exercise of official power, the election conduct
ed and concluded for the profit and advantage OF
tenderloin and public officialdom. So shameful
the violation of public laws and private rights, so
fearless the depravty that the affair hardly less
of comedy than crime.
The life of our form of government depends upon
honest elections. Failing to this, we justify
the of the anarchist the nhilist and all others
whose creed is opposition to law and ORDER and this
Terre Haute affair organized, deliberate
spiracy to assassnate government by of and for the
people.
The parties to it were vilest of the vile and their
crime the most dangerous of all crimes Indiana
hangs one man who premeditatedly Stays another.
These conspirators struck at the very life of the
dred dollars fine and ridiculolisly short term in
prison
We write of this case thus, in order to conclude
with the suggestion that conviction in these cases
warrants sentence for all that the law allows. The
law should allow much heavier punishment, but let
them have the limit, whatever it isl

CORPORATION INSTEAD OF
TOWN TO BEAR BURDEN

A hearing was begun this after
noon before Messrs. Simmons and
Shaughnessy of the public service
commission of Nevada on demand by
the commissioners and district at
torney Of Nye county that the Water
company Of Tonopah construct fire
protection system for Tonopah. Sucn
plant as is demanded would cost
the company $4,000 and the revenue
gained by the installation of hy-
drants would be only about $50 per
month with depreciation and main
tenance to be at the expense of the
company. The peculiar, not to say
unreasonable. demand that is made
of the corporation, instead of upon
the town itself, is causing great in-
terest to be taken in the case.
