.CARRANzA
FAVORED BY
CONFEREES
Indications that Program Already
Agreed Upon and Gen. Scott
May Be Sent to Mexico
as Mediator


Washington, Aug 6.--A widely eur
rent and generally believed report says
the Pan-American conferees have
agreed on the recognitionaof Carranza
as the head Of the Mexican govern
ment, provided he will call an election
within stated time and eliminate
himself as candidate for permanent
president.
1t is understood that the conclusion
of the conferees is that Cararnza must
be recognized or he must be fought.
Some of them are said to have sug-
gested that the sooner force is used
in support of some candidate not now
in the field the better off Mexico will
be.
Secretary Lansing limited that there
might be no further meeting of the
Pan-American conferees. He is sched-
uled for an important conference with
Gen Scott, ehies OF staff of the army
These moves are interpreted as
meaning that the program Of the con-
ferees has already been arranged. 1t
is believed that Scott may be the medi-
ator in Mexico

dav say the Mexican bandits renewed

The removal from office of commits

Regardless of what else one may

act of his can reflect on his character
or his fidelity to the trust imposed

States. This leaves the rest of Mex
ico, with population of approximate
ly 13,500,OO0, with visible supply Of
ga, 900 tons, enough to last but three
months. About next July, then, the
real pinch of hunger will be felt
throughout the length and breadth
of Mexico.
"What, then, will be necessary to
relieve the consequent distress and
prevent perhaps, the death of thou
sands from starvation? In normal
times it requires 100000 tons of
crop to feed these 13,500,0O0 over a
period of eight months. With the
visible supply but $4,000 tons, this
leaves shortage of 1,125, 600 tons or
39,375,OO bushels
Huge Cost of importing.
This corn must be purchased from
the United States. The present mar
ket laid down at points along the
northern frontier is cents gold
a bushel. If we allow Il cents gold
bushel for distribution throughout
the various parts of the republic, we
have a charge of s1O5 gold per bushel
which will necessitate the expendi-
ture of $41 ,343,75O gold to prevent
a devastating famine. BY that time
the purchasing power of the Mexican
peso will have dropped to 10 cents
gold, so. due to the unconscionable,
ignorant and selfish attitude of the
military elements of all factions, Mex
ico will find herself called upon to
eXpend SAB ,4375OO pesos to pre-
vent the larger part of her popula-
tion from starving to death.
Where is this money to come
from? With a bottom scraped treas
ury and white -bled country. Mex
leo must throw herself upon the char
ity Of the world.
Not only have they taken away
the man and the farm animal from
the land and thus produced these
dire results, but many instances have
been reported where the different
military commanders have actually
permitted the horses and mules to
feed on the young and growing corn /
in such sections where it may have /
been planted. while droughts in the
north and east have completed the I
work of ruin inaugurated by these /
men. Stored grain has also been !
burned in considerable quantities by /
the vandals and the records show that /
in the face of all this, some selfish .
military leaders have actually eX- /
ported grain to enrich themselves. |
Due to the paralysis of the means
of communication throughout a larger .
part of the republic, such stores saved p.

know that no impulsive appointment
will be made, but that the eternal
fitness of things will prevail.
Look down the line of the COVER
nor's appointments so far and it will
be seen that every one of them rath-
er bids fair to bring on his head some
disapproval from the politicians. And
why? Because the governor realizes
he cannot serve two masters and that
he does not want to, and that the man
who serves the people and their in
terests bids very fair to disappoint
the politicians.
Take for instance the board of af-
fairs. There is not a better set of men
in the state or better qualified men to
hold such a position of trust. Every
one of them business men, and, to-
use the governors own language "men
who will give to the state twice as
much as they receive as compensation
for the work.
Then glance at the capitol com
mission committee of advice. Every
man on the board, men of integrity
who cannot have any axe to grind
but whose chief aim would naturally
be to see that the capital is bull
as soon as possible and as economi-
caly as possible, consistent with dur
ability and importance.
Then comes Mr. Lankford, state
bank commissioner. 1t requires no
comment from me. Mr.. Landlords
record bespeaks all that is necessary,
and in Mr. Samuels, the third mem
Der of the insurance board. we find
another high-toned gentleman.
And so on down the line. In every
instance men with push, energy, pa
triotism and ability-men whom the
governor knows to be men who will
do things for the good of the state
and its people, have been chosen.
The people of the state should re-
cognize what this means to governor
Williams. For every man appointed
by him, there are scores and some
times a hundred disappointed, all of
whom imagine they have done some
thing for the party which entitled
them to reward and that too, regard
less of their fitness
1t is no soft job to be governor.
take the history of them all, yes ev-
eryone of them almost in the union,
and their lot has been trying one.
Men who were apparently friendly to

value of their friendship when dis
One by one they slip away
and become knockers" of the worst
type, and raise more trouble than
can be counteracted with dignity. This
is the penalty, but apparently a pen
atty, which Governor Williams may
escape, for after ALL, by his unique
policy of letting ability and fitness
wholly control his actions, he sets a
precedent which | venture to predict,
will build up for him lasting and
enduring friendship and esteem which
will count for something after he
shall have left the exalted position he
now holds

BASKET BALL TEAM.

The candidates for the High School
basketball team turned out last Thurs
day for the first time this season.
Practice has been held up for several
weeks owing to the lack of a floor to
play on. Now that the new Odeon hall
has been secured for practice, regular
turnouts Will be held and the team
whipped into shape as o as posi-
BILE. Professor Wallis will coach the
candidates for positions and has an I'M
usually large bunch of material from
which to choose. The return to school
of Earl Hooker, forward of the past
two years, has boosted the chances of
the team considerably. Howard Stains
is on deck to take care OF the center
job, aud Cube" Sallee will probably
hold down offensive guard. These men
VOL have TO play good ball to keep
some of the newer men off the team
for there Is a small crowd OF first and
second year a%spirants ready to take
their job any time. Some of the most
promising new material Is Paul Evans
Roscoe Torrance. Voren Runnion. Pete
Johnson, Charley C%rowder, Paul Barn
ard and Victor Beckstead. The first
game Of the season will probably be
played Friday night, January 22nd.
The team will be severely Handicapped
on account Of starting practice so late
in the season but by hard work from
now on hopes to make a creditable
showing.
