Douglas, AriE., Oct. 12.--An impair.

and ammunition into Mexico was put
into rigid eject here and was report

both Villa and Carranza factions were

Washington, Oct. 12.-Secretary

session of the Pan-American confer
ence, which decided upon recognition
for the Carranza party as the de faeto
government In Mexico. The president
gave his approval. Secretary Lansing
said the form in which recognition
would be extended or the time had
not yet been fixed.
According to a dispatch from FL
Paso grave anxiety is felt for the well
fare of approximately 500 members
of the Mormon colonies of the Casas
Grandes district, when the news of
the recognition of Carranza becomes
generally known in the Villa army.

These colonists have already report
ed depredations by the Villa forces,
but have refused to leave their prop
critics. although repeatedly urged to
do SO by the state department. ~
NJ. Diaz Lombardo, foreign minister
OF the convention government, and
Enrique c. Llorente, the Villa agent
here, in a statement said:
Our opinion is that It is very
doubtful whether the Pan-American
conferees have acted wisely in deciar-
ing that the Carranzista faction is the
only one with the essentials Of recog-
milton as the de facto government, In
asmuch as that decision is based on
recent military successes which :an-
not be regarded as conclusive or per-
manent. The conventionist faction
has yet at its disposal powerful eIe-
ments and has the advantage of pos
sessing territory within the bound
aries of which there are no Carranza
forces.
General CarranZa telegraphed his
agency that Alberto Garcia Granados,
sentenced to death for completely in
the coup which resulted in the killing
of President Madero, had been execut-
ed Friday, after a trial in which he
had every privilege Of a defendant

Up to the Last Minute.

After the strenuous day of Thurs
day, the closing day of the Fall Festi.
val opened up a little slow, but the
Iowa Brigade Band gave their morn

about Hoo o'clock some degree of
activity began to show itself. The
exhibition hall was filed with the
usual crowd of interested people ami
all we're delighted with the various
displays.
Ben Wolf, a horse trainer living in
Oskaoosa brought two of his trained
horses, out on the west side of the
public square and put them through
a variety of fancy movements. Such
AS marching, the two steps, trotting,
cantering and other special steps.
Mr.. Wolf was in the saddle and the
horses responded to his slightest
touch in doing his Bidding. This ex
hibition took up the time until about
the noon hour. -...
At exhibition hall, the ladies hour
was made all the more enjoyable by
the serving of coffee with cream and
sugar by the hostesses, Mrs. Louise
KaIbach, chairman, Mrs. Thomas

New Things in Warfare.

The British imperial council is accused OF
writing an entire chapter in international
law. in the order promulgated to establish an
ocean-wide blockade OF German traffic This
order is unprecedented, as pointed out, but so
also Is the German submarine campaign. Other
novelties presented for the edification of the
world by the present war are the forty-two cen
timeter gun, the armored airship, the radio tele-
graph the armed motor car, and numerous other
features, prominent enough now, but unheard OF
before the conflict OF arms commenced last
August
All the nations have improved their capacity
for destruction by adapting the best results of
invention and discovery TO the arts OF war. One
surprise after another has followed, as one or
the other OF the combatants has disclosed his
preparations for the conflict. II would have
been remarkable, indeed. IL the diplomats OF tho
world had not made some innovations along
with the warriors, and therefore, the new prin-
eiples Of so-called International law, now exhi-
bited to public view for the first time should oc-
casion less astonishment than they otherwise
would.
The mistreRtment of neutrals, more than
anything else argues for the necessity Of a con-
yention that will rigldly preserve the worlds
peace. This will be the overshadowing problem
when order is once more brought about Then
an entire new international code will have to be
formulated. founded on the fundamentals OF JUS
tice for all. regardless OF comparative strength
or military resources. that will do equal justice
to little nations as well as TO big ones

Making voting CompulsorY

bill pending in the legislature at Lincoln
to impose a poll tax TO be RENTED to all voters
who take part in every election. raises the old
question OF making voting compulsory. While
the right OF the state to compel a man TO vote
or TO punish him IL he fails TO do so. is being de
bated. the more pertinent discussion will evolve
about the point Of practicability for although
every one comedies that the electoral franchise
carries with 1t the duty to help choose all public
officials. nowhere that we know OF has any de.
vice to make voting compulsory worked success
fully In practice. The queer thing in this con.
nection is that the poll tax has been resorted to
in the south, not to force participation in cleo.
tions, but to keep the negroes from voting. and
thus to disfranehise them without colliding with
the color discrimination.
Again, II Is doubtful whether compulsory vot-
ing will give us more intelligent voting. II a
man has no choice between candidates, n igno-
rant Of their relative merits or otherwise TO force
him TO make a choice would add merely an ele-
ment OF guesswork. which would probably be
offset in the totals without helping to decide
anything II holds forth, at any rate. no assur-
ance OF better government

II III. Railroad Men ar. Wise.

It is gratifying to note that The Bee is not
alone in suggesting to the railroads the danger
OF OVERRIDING things in their efforts to raise rates
all along the line. The New York Evening Post,
which could never be put by the railroads in the
"unfriendiy" class also cautions against undo
ing the present public sentiment which is plainly
disposed TO give the railroads fair deal as never
before What the Post urges is that the great
opportunity now before them ought TO be util-
lied by the railroads managers in the wisest
way" II declares further that IL they want to
avoid trouble later. while strengthening their
position and making financial provision for the
future, the railroads are under obligation to
avoid repetition OF the scandals of the past-to
prevent abuse OF capitalization, wrongs OF re-
organization or consolidation and stock ex-
change manipulation which would give dema-
gogues every chance TO throw the whole railway
situation into confusion and gloom again.
What the railroad men must remember is
that the era Of good feeling toward them can be
prolonged only by not abusing It. and that deeds
rather than words will be the final test of their
protested desire to work in harmony with pa
irons and public.
