GOVERNOR HANNA QUITS
THE FORD PEACE PARTY

Stockholm.-On Christmas day, the
day Henry Ford hoped to bring the
boys out of the trenches a fresh
row broke out in the ranks of the
peace delegates whom Ford left to
carry out his program while he re-
turned to America.
Governor Hanna of North Dakota
today quit the party in a rage after q
clash with the Ford ~lieutenants.
When Hanna made informal calls
on Norwegian officials, who received
him because of his official position,
the Ford agents, he alleged. caused
the public to believe that these inter-
views were connected with the peace
propaganda, thus placing the COVER
nor in an embarrassing position.
Other trouble is brewing, Judge
Ben B. Lindsey, appointed by Ford to
head the committee to wind up the
peace expedition, obtained from the
Detroit man approval of his scheme
for aiding wal orphans. But the new
managers, INCLUDING CASTOR plaintiff.
Ford's New York automobile business
manager, announced today that they
will be compelled to repudiate all
meetings they do not specifically au-
thorize.
Obviously they were hitting at the
meetings Judge Lindsey was planning.
Lindsey declared today that he will
proceed with his meetings without
consulting Plaintiff. He alone among
the peace leaders now openly admits
that the game is up" so far as end
ing the wal is concerned.

TELLS WHAT TAx is.
Justice Hughes Describes a Tax, Both
Ordinary and Special.

Washington, D. c.--What is a tax?
Here is a little essay on taxation by
Justice Charles q. Hughes OF the
United States supreme court. He de-
livered 1t recently from the bench
in a small case from Missouri-fIouck
VS.. Little River Drainage District. 1t
appears to open the way for the en-
aetment of more drastic state taxation
iaws by states than have hitherto
been hold constitutional.
"a tax Is an enforced contribution
for the payment OF public expenses.
AZ is laid by some rule Of apportion-
ment according TO which the persons
or property taxed share the public
burden, and whether taxation oper-
ates upon all within the state. Or np-
onthose OF a given class Oh locality,
its essential nature is the same. The
power Of segregation for taxing il
poses has everyday illustration Id the
experiences ct local communities. ma
members of which, by reason OF their
m~erabership, or the owners of proper
tv within the bound of their political
subdivision are compelled fa bear ths

CONSISTENCY A VIRTUE
SOMETIMES LOST SIGHT OF

1t is the conclusion of the Water
town Public Opinion that such repub-
lican bosses as Barnes and Penrose
are merely talking harmony in the
party and ignoring Their own talk in
their actions.
The Waterfowl paper sees in the
calling, Of the republican national
convention at an unexpectedly early
date a direct attempt to greatly in
convenience, if not disfrandhise,
states that have provided themselves
with primary facilities for the selec-
ton of delegates to national conven-
lions.
1t correctly assumes that the old
bosses, still in control, are opposed
to a primary system and have ac-
complished the unusual in providing
an early convention for tie purpose
of discouraging that system.
Still one cannot but remember that
in 1912 all of the republicans of
South Dakota We're disfranchised by
a trick of the progressives and that
the Watertown paper excused and
glorifed the act.
What the national committee may
have done, and it is culpable from
the Watertown standpoint, was not
anywhere near as bad as the act OF
the nroeraeSiyes of 1912.
The Huronite, then as now a pro-
gressive newspaper, could not ac-
cept the infamy perpetrated by its
factional associates any more than
it can now accept the infamy proc
ticed by the republican committee in
attempting to disfranchise primary
states.
But it does not believe that Public
Opinion is consistent in its complaint.

sPAiN's EVE ON GIBRALTAR.
Possible That Spain May Enter the
War With Teutonic Allies.


The rumor that Spain MAJ enter
the war on the side of the central
powers is not without elements of
plausibility. Spain would seize Glib
raltar in an instant if she felt that
she could hold it. The subjugation of
both Gibraltar and Portugal are
tempting bats which the German
agents have probably not been back
ward in dangling before Alphonso.
The extreme unlikelihood of success
in the undertaking is doubtless the
chief factor which Restraints Spain
from jumping into the fray. Spain
has already made one mighty attempt
10 wrest Gibraltar from the British,
and the impressive lesson which she
then learned regarding its i~mpregna-
hility can hardly make the undertake
ing appear to be easy.
In lTT9 Spain began a siege of Glib
raitar which lasted for three years.
seven months and twelve days. The
strength of the besieged force at this
time was 1882 men. Communications
with Spain were cut June 81, 1879,
and Il strict blockade by the Spanish
fleet divorced the garrison from any
a~tlliation With the outside world.
Twice the besieged force was all but
reduced to starvation and twice it
was dramatically saved by succor
from British admirals. On the first
occasion Admiral Rodney arrived in
the nick of time and on the second
occason it was Admiral Darby who
brought the needed assistance. In
July, 1882, the Due de Crillon was
put in charge OF the combined naval
and land forces of Spain and France.
Preparations were made for an over
wkelming onslaught. Supposedly in
yincible batteries in great numbers
~c~a constructed. Covered boats to
disenbark 10000 troops were pre-
pared. a movement OF extraordinary
size and energy was begun only t
end in disastrous failure. Two thoBs-
and OF the besiegers were killed while
16 represented the loss to the be-.
seiged. Since that time the supremacy
OF Great Britain in Gibraltar has not
been challenged.
Great Britain has held this envied
fortress for more than two centuries.
In Ii04 it was captured by a combined
Dutch and English force fighting un
der the Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt
and Sir George Rookie. What compli-
Gated the question of ownership still
more was the fact that these troops
we're in the employ of the Archduke
Charles Of Austria. Three naIisns
thus had a possible claim for it. But
England settled the matter with great
dispatch and simplicity by selling 1t
for herself. She had no particular
right to it. She simply took 1t. And
the century or more which has elaps-
ed since has failed to reconcile either
Germany or Spain TO her continued
possession OF it. So long as Great
Britain is successful OF semi-success-
full in the present war. she need hard
" fear an attack from Spain. But
once failure sets its cap for her, once
troubles begin TO multiply on her
head, then she will have 70 look out
for the nation adjoining Gibraltar.
Spain has her eye on Gibraltar and
may be trusted to lay hands upon II
the moment the opportunity is favor

Slav People Not Yet
Ready to Consider
Negotiations for Peace
Minneapolis War Correspondent Says
That Russia is Not Vet Ready
to Treat for Peace.

Washington, D. Ca Russia uni,
fed, with strength still unbroken, and
with the n object of lighting the
present war to a finish, is the picture
drawn by Stanley Washburn of Min,
neapolis upon his arrival here yester-
day direct from fifteen months cam
paigning with the Russian army as
correspondent for the London Times,
says the Minneapolis Journals Wash
ington correspondent.
Mr.. Washburn said he believed the
war would be concluded in another
year. "Unless some unforeseen factor
enters I thing the initial preparations
for real peace in Europe viii be made
a year from now. As for the present
Russia, not for a minute would it
consider it. The whole SIav race is
solidly behind its government and
with the car, himself at the front.
Germany will be unable to make any
peace arrangements with P~etrograd
until the war has been fought to a
finish.
Says Slav Is Feared Most.
ut is Russia that Germany fears
most in this war, for it is Russia that
has been doing more to bleed Ger
many of its strength than any nation
in Europe. The German leaders real
ize that If there is one chance for
defeat, that chance lies at the hands
of the Russians, because the Russian
is stubborn.
German victories are counted by
them as nothing but colossal losses.
After the battle of Strassburg. in the
Warsaw campaign, lat German dead
were found entangled in the barbed
wire in front of one company of Rus
sian infantry. That Is Just an exam
pie of what Germany is paying for her
victories. Russia likewise is paying,
but her total strength is greater.
War Benefit to Russia.
However the war has been a great
benefit to Russia. Besides uniting
them, ii is going to result in a more
liberal government and as far as Pol
and is concerned | think there is no
question but they viii have an auto
nomous form Of government. The
rumor Russia is going to have a revo-
luton before or after this war are
absolutely unfounded. Russia is go
ing to have an evolution, bat revo-
luton, ever"
Mr.. Washburn will spend a few
days here before going to Lakewood,
N. j., for a rest. He will visit Min
neapolis in January and return to
the Russian front in the spring.

MEXICAN RAIDERS
KILL AMERICANS
PRESIDENT OF LAW AND ORDER
LEAGUE AND HIS SON SHOT
DOWN BY BANDITS.
Mexicans Crossed Border, Ransaeked
Home of Victims and Then Foully
Murdered Men In Their
Own Homes.

Brownsville, Texas.-United States
cavalrymen, Texas rangers and posses
of citizens are continuing their search
for band of a dozen Mexican ranch
raiders, who on Friday, after several
weeks of outlawry, raided the small
town of Sebastian, thirty-seven miles
north of Brownsville, and killed AL
Austin, president of the Sebastian
Law and Order league, and his son.
Charles.
Adjutant General Henry Hutchins
of Texas visited Sebastian and person
ally investigated conditions there and
will recommend to Governor Ferguson
that sufficient force of the Texas
National Guard be sent to Cameron
county to afford protection against
the outlaws.
Officers OF Cameron county, after
FIVE weeks constant work, said they
had found clew to the identity OF
some of the raiders. A young Amer
lean named Willard, who was wit
ness to the killing of Austin and his
son. was quoted as saying he recog,
nized five or six of the Mexican ban,
dts as residents Of the Sebastian
community. He gave their names to
the authorities, it was said. This in.
formation, If confirmed, would make
certain that Mexican residents on the
Texas side of the Rio Grande are at
least partly responsible for recent acts
OF outlawry charged to raiders from
the Mexican side.
Willard was forced by the Mexicans
to drive a cart in which Austin and
his son were placed, from their farm
to their home, which was ransacked.
The Austins then were killed Willard
said he recognized in one of the ban.
dts a Mexican to whom he had loaned
money, and, owing to this fact, thinks
his life was spared.
