ASSURES A WELCOME
TO FOREIGN CAPITAL
Gen. Carranza Says Mexico Will Be
Open to All Honest
Investors.
Anticipates Early Peace and Recog-
milton Of His Government by
the United States.

VERA CRUZ, May 5.-Promises that
Mexico. after peace has been secured,
which he expects will be soon, Will be
thrown open to all honest foreign in
vestors and especially that American
capital will be welcomed, has been
made by Gen. Carranza in an author
lied interview. Gen. Carranza said he
wished to overcome what he believed
was growing feeling in the United
States. that the consttutionalists are
opposed to foreigners. He also an
nounced that he intended to restore
railroad traffic to Mexico City as soon
the military operations against
Francisco Villa had ended.
Seated in his headquarters in the
lighthouse overlooking Vera Cruz bay
the first chief of the constitutionalists
talked at length OF the present and
future conditions Of Mexico.
Denies Antagonist.
The impression seems to prevail in
the United States" said Gen. Carranza
that the constitutionalists are antag-
onistic toward foreigners. This is UNI
true. On the contrary, we propose to
throw Mexico open to all honest for
eign capital as generously. but more
judiciously than was done under Presi
dent Diaz
Recent events, such as the defeat O.
Gen. Villa at important points, renew
my confidence that the war will sooI
be ended. Then Mexico will start he1
reconstruction and Will need legitimat,
foreign help. The resumption of in
dustry will attract American capital
which will be welcome and protected.
II will do everything in my power t.
promote American friendship. Amerf
cans would be optimistic over the con
ditions in Mexico If they could see thu
situation from this end. The constitu
tionalists have 10000 soldiers, and viii

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
NO BREAK WITH AUSTRIA.

If dispatches reaching Washington
Thursday night, forecasting the con
tents of the reply of Austria to the
second Ancona note, are trustworthy
the danger of a diplomatic break be.
tween the United States and the vi
enna government in all probability is
averted.
Austria, it is reported, accepts the
principles OF international law for
which the United States contends and
admits that the submarine commander
who sank the Ancona committed
cupable act, announcing that he has
been punished for not taking into CON
sideration certain conditions that ex-
listed at the time the Ancona was
sunk While a number of milior
points of difference in regard to the
incident may yet develop, it will be
seen that the two governments are in
accord on the main issues involved
and other questions arising should
readily be subject to settlement
through the channels of diplomacy.
In this connection we call your at
tention to the fact that the Daily Ex-
press printed a United Press dispatch
from Berlin last Tuesday, correctly
forecasting the nature of the second
Austrian note. On Wednesday, the
morning papers printed reports u the
most alarming kind, stating that Aus
tria would refuse to grant the Amer
icsn demands and that break in dip
lriauc relations was almost newt
able. Nothing tending to confirm
this supposed news was contained in 4
the United Press dispatches Wednes-
day and Thursday when the morning
papers still bristled with scarry head
lines, the Washington bureau of the
United Press noted that the prolong-
alton of President Wilson's absence
from the capital indicated the lack
Of any alarming developments in the
case.
1t will be noted. therefore, that the l
United Press dispatches, printed by
your own local paper and over five
hundred other afternoon papers, gave !
you the correct news concerning this t
important matter and gave it to you I

ter. Even though man might be an
average clean citizen, in many cases
he was made TO appear as a moral
monstrosity. In the campaign that

Replying to the query of an ex.
change as to why the private charac
ter of man should not be open to

Emporia Gazette, edited by a man who
is militant reformer and oae of the
most gifted writer's in the country, has
the following to say:
THAT is a question we have been
looking for During the twenty years
of the present ownership of the Ga
zette it has not attacked the private
character Of any candidate for public
office. The fight on candidates has
been made always on the public rec
ords of the candidates.
"And the reason is this: No one |
knows the exact truth about any act
of another mans private life. No one
knows exactly what any other mans
private character is. It's largely
guess. To say that he did such and
such a thing, and to prove it by cvi-
Dental facts really proves nothing.
Each heart knoweth its own bitter
ness Each human being has his
side" to the story of his personal
wrong doings. Each episode depends
largely upon the ones proceeding it,
and all are woven into the woof of
life To Judge a mans life as a whole
is impossible. To judge one or two
episodes is unjust. AS matter of
fact, when it is known that this can

Speaking to the Republican State
committee the other day, John Fields
advised his fellow political workers to
learn a lesson from the Socialists who
were at the same time planning their
coming campaign. The advice which
Mr.. Fields gave might also be applied
by Democrats. It is a fact that as
practical politicians the Socialists
have the whole bunch beat. The
growth of their party is due more to
the systematic methods of organiza-
ton and propaganda which they
practice than to the merits of their
principles.
