COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
FOR GOVERNOR, 1916
HON. A. E. HITCHCOCK, of Mitchell.

President Wilson is reported to
have in view another step in his an
nounced intention of providing a
stable government for Mexico. 1t is
stated in Washington dispatches that
within q few days, the executive will
makea last attempt to get the leaders
Of the belligerent factions together
for the consideration of a peace pro-
gram. What will be done in the event
this last step fails to materialize the
long awaited tranquility in the neigh
boring republic, is not stated, but If
one were to judge by past events, and
the lack of heed given the recent for
NAL notice to the Mexican leaders, ii
will be necessary to do something
other than serving notice. 1t looks
more and more as though Mexico
will furnish q fine practice field for
increased American armies.

"a work train on p. e r. e.. division
of the North-W estern system-plunged
through the bridge which spanned Brok-
en- Neck creek, at a point three miles
west of Teton early last Friday morning
The train was west bound, having been
ordered to Wendt to repair a grade.
Heavy rains the night previous night
had sent the creek on a bender and
the great rush of water had weakened
abutments to the bridge and when the
weight of the first car loaded with grav-
ell struck it, the entire bridge gave way.
Three men. Conductor White, Road
master Barton and Brakeman Collins,
riding on the front car, saved themselves
by jumping into fifteen feet of water,
then swimming to shore. Engineer
Haswell and Fireman McCawley saw
the men jump, and quickly left the en-
CINE and in time to miss the river, but
to jump down a high embankment. They
were not a moment too soon, for their
engine lies buried in mud and water of
the creek, with the cars in a heap.

1t is officially admitted that the Slav

very heavy.
That the Germans are progressing
along the Narew river is admitted, but
only with the heaviest losses.
Today s official statement said: "We
are valiantly resisting the attacks of
the enemy upon the Narew line" Mill
tary men took that to mean that the
German advance had been halted, al
though with heavy sacrifice of lives.
The belief prevails that if the Russian

days, the main Russian armies will have
reached the new positions assigned them

BEGINNING OF THE END

Washington, Aug. 3.-When the
three South American ambassadors
and the three ranking Latin Ameri-
can ministers meet with Secretary
Lansing Thursday to hear President
Wilson's plan to ask the cooperation
of their countries for restoring peace
to Mexico, a course of action will be
outlined which all Latin Americas
will be asked to approve.
1t contemplates the restoration of
constitutional government without
the use of force if possible, but has
in view joint action of all the Ameri-
cas- if necessary.
Although all officials surround the
conference with the greatest secrecy
it is known that one of the first ele-
ments is an embargo on arms from
all Latin America to Mexico.
The president is not committed to
details of any plan but will invite
suggestions from Latin American
diplomats to open the way to a COM
mon ground.
Washington, August 3.-Announce-
ment that the United States had ask
ed cooperation of South and Central
America in an effort to settle the
Mexican question caused widespread
interest today in official and diplo-
matte circles. A conference on the
subject will be held Thursday after
noon between Secretary Lansing and
the diplomatic representatives of six
of the leading Latin-American ma
tions.
It was recalled also that President
Wilson a year ago accepted very glad
ly the good offices" extended by the
representatives here of Brazil, Ar
gentina and Chile which led to the
Mexican mediation conference at
Niagara Falls. These representatives
of the A.-B.-C. powers, with the
ministers from Bolivia, Uruguary
and Guatemala are the Pan-American
representatives invited to Thursdays

THE CoLoNEL's DECLARATION

After feeling out the situation over
the country. during his western trip
Colonel Roosevelt oun that he will
not return to the republican party but
will remain with the new party that he
has organized. The colonel must have
discovered among republican leaders
everywhere an unwillingness to accept
him as a leader. and it would be quite
impossible for the colonel to belong to
any party in which he could not be a
leader. Mr.. Roosevelt had rather be a
leader in a losing party than a follower
in an organization that was successful.
The colonel's announcement, put out at
Oyster Bay, will be generally accepted
as disposing of the report that he was
soon to announce his return to the re-
publican fold.
This will put the Roosevelt Repub.
licans" in this state up to a real choice.
Me like Governor Byrne and Congress
man Dillon, who declared that Colonel
Roosevelt in 1912 was a republican and
who helped to nominate Roosevelt men
as electors on the republican ticket,
must soon declare whether they intend
to remain with the republican party or
whether they will try to convince the
republican Masses that Colonel Roose-
welt is a republican. The chickens have
come home to roost.
Meanwhile it must jolt the real pro-
gressives of the country to see the new
party under the leadership of a man who
is all the time talking for war and
against peace. and who by so doing has
become the least progressive of our
prominent men on the biggest issue in
the world. In his trip over the country,
the colonel absolutely failed to make a
hit with his "mollycoddle" talk. The
country has outgrown twaddle of that
sort. Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

sLANDERING AMERICANS

There is a man living in Philadelphia
who is called DR.. C.. F. Hexamer and he
delivered himself of some remarks at the
Sunday gathering of the German-Ameri-
can alliance at San Francisco saying much
worse things about the United States and
its people than even Colonel Roosevelt
has said.
He remarked, meaning the United
| States, that a nation was hypocritical that
prayed for peace on Sundays aud supplied
| England with arms and ammunition all
the rest of the week.
That, of course, was ar untruth, for the
nation has not prayed for peace and has
not sold arms and ammunition to Eng
land. Some few individuals may have
done one OF both, but a hundred million
people have not.
But, if they had, would that be any of
DR.. Hexamer's business? What right has
he to SANDER a country in which he has
taken asylum country that has done
far better for him than his native country
would have done, else he would not be
here?
The nation puts up with the %utterances
of Roosevelt, at times exceedingly intern
perate, because he has earned leniency
by having once been its president, or the
people think he has, which answers his
purpose as well.
The Doctor has conveniently forgotten
to mention the many ship loads of guns
and ammunition Germany sold to Spain
during wrr with the United States, and
delivered the same at her door.
DR.. Hexamer said he had become
%nauseated by the lick spittle policy of the
United States. The avenue of relief for
his disorder is open. He can take a gun
and 20 into the German ranks and there
do a great deal more for the cause nearest
his heart than by talking Unexpectedly in
San Francisco about his national associ-
ates. And he might take the colonel witt
him.-The Huronite.

Washington has evolved a plan for
the restoration of order in Mexico
that promises to bring about the de-
sired result through pan-American
intervention in a peaceful way. If
the south and central American re-
publics join with the United States
in bringing Mexican factionists to
terms, it will be vastly better than
for the United States to incur the
risk of opposition from the latin re-
publics by undertaking the task
alone. Mexico would yield more
readily to a united demand than to q
single demand.

Authentic Account Discovered
Reveals Part 1t Played in
Testing of Royal Babes

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, Dec. 3.-At last something
very definite has been learned about
the historic Na-ha stone which, at
present, is on the property of John
Scott. The Rev. stephen Desha has
discovered the old Hawaiian paper
that tells the history of the stone and
he has given out short translation
of the screed. : 1t is not written
translation, but merely verbal
synopsis of the old and interesting
story.
The Na-ha stone turns out not to be
a sacrifice stone at all. 1t was used
in connection with certain ceremonies
connected with the birth of child of
high degree among certain lines of
chiefs of old Hawaii. The stone was
originally located in the Waialu riv-
err, Kauai, and was brought to the is
land of Hawaii by high chief, Maka-
liinuikuakawaiea (k). The stone was
landed from a double canoe at Waia-
kea and from there transported to
its present resting place shortly after
wards.
The stone was supposedly endowed
with great powers and when children
of royal blood were delivered it was
on the Na-ha stone that the kahuna
deposited the newly born infant.
Should the infant cry aloud it was
declared to be of the true Na-ha blood.
When Kamehameha the Great was
20 years Of age he came from Kohala
to Hilo in company with Kalaniwa-
hine, prophecies In a canoe. The
party landed at Waiakea and were
met by Ululani tw), a Hilo chiefess.
Ululani inquired as to the cause OF
the visit Of Kanehamei1a and Kalani-
wahine and the king replied: 81 come
to visit the Na-ha stone" The Hilo
chiefess Immediately retorted: "You
are not entitled to visit the stone. You
are of another branch and not of the
Na-ha"
Kamehameha then declared that he
had come to conquer the Na-ha
pohaku. His words were: Il came to
visit the Na-ha pohaku and try to
conquer it. / will succeed in making
friends with the Na-ha branch of the
alii"

to move you, but I win try
Kamehameha then strove with all
his might to move the stone but for
a time could not He strained and
pushed until his eyes were bloodshot
and his face was crimson but could
not bulge the big rock. Then the pro-
phetess exclaimed, "E Kalani e, if you
succeed in moving Na-ha pohaku, you
will move the whole group of islands.
If you change the foundations of
Na-ha pohaku, you will conquer the
whole group. You will prosper, your
people will prosper and !. too, will
benefit"
Kamehameha then grunted and,
making one final, great effort, rolled
the stone from its resting place. The
moving of the stone caused a shock
like an earthquake and the land in the
vicinity rocked and swayed.
From the fact that he had moved
the stone came the idea that he could
conquer the whole group of Hawaiian
Islands. Turning to the people Ka.
mehameha declared, Il have moved
the Na-ha pohaku and have changed
its foundations. will conquer the
whole group. !"
The paper goes on to say that when
ever Kamehameha the Great was
about to begin battle he. would al.
ways refer to the Na-ha stone and
would repeat his statement about
shifting,it He would, before starting
in to fight exclaim: II will be victori.
Gus today; the gods are with me.
A written translation of the old
document now in the possession of
Senator Desha, will bAr made at once
and the paper will then be turned over
to the committee from the Board OF
Trade which is in charge of the mat
ter.
