Washington, Aug. S.--The Brill

in Mexico, has been withdrawn by
his government to forestall his ex-

Carranza Is Resentful.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Brizil-
ian minister reported to the state de-
partment today that no reason had
been given for the expulsion of Senor
Ortega and that ne himself intended
TO sail Wednesday from Vera Cruz
on French liner for the United
States.
The participation of the two coun-
tries in the Pan-American confer
ence in Washington had something
to do with this development, it IL
believed here. Officials who were
hoping Carranza would join a peace
conference with his adversaries and
meet the efforts of the Pan-Amerf-
can nations to settle the factional
strife expressed disappointment.
1t was said by Carranza agents
that neither diplomat had been on
good terms with Carran2a and that
1t had been Carranza's intention to
hand the BriZilian minister his pass-
ports as soon as he reoccupied Mex
ico City. The participation of Brazil
and Guatemala in the conference.
they said, brought TO a climax Car
ranza's resentment 1t was recalled

said General CarranZa was making

City and probably proclaim himself
provisional president.
American naval commanders at
Vera Cruz have been ordered to
place warship at the disposal OF
the two diplomats if they wish il.
There are three gunboatS in that vi

Secretary Lansing announced to-
day that the Pan-American confer
ence would be resumed in New York
city Wednesday afternoon at 2
O'Clock at an hotel.
Mr. Lansing said he was consider
ing American representation in Mex

would be done. He assured, how
ever, that American diplomatic al.
fairs would be in a sort of a state
of quiescence" IN Mexico City. The
reasons for the Brazilian minister's
visit TO the United States at this
time, the secretary said. were np-
known to him.

Public sentiment generally will no
doubt approve the verdict which has
been rendered in the libel suit brought
by Boss Barnes Of New York against
eX-President Roosevelt. The right of
free speech in this country includes
the right Of newspapers and individuals
to eriticise that which is obviously
wrong and detrimental to public inter-
ests, and to deny this right. or punish
those who exercise it. is to encourage
the wrong and protect those responsible
for such conditions Courts and iuries

free discussion Of public men and ques-
ton, and criticisms that may include
the element of malice, unjust aspersion,
of actual untruthfulness, and which
therefore fall under the head of libel
or SANDER, within the legal definition
of these terms. Yet where the motive
is honest and the essential facts are
not distorted or misstated, public senti-
ment demands and the courts defend
freedom of speech in truthful state
ment of fact, or frank criticism of that
which is detrimental to public policy
and public interests, and therefore
deserving of criticism.
Mr.. Roosevelt saw what he believed
was wrong and told the public about it,
and after listening to the evidence and
arguments the jury has decided that
the ex-president did no more than was
right and proper.

liable authority, was only the forerun-
ner of shipments to follow. Australia
produces annually about 400, 900 tons of
spelter ore which has been finding its
way into the furnaces of the big zinc
shelters of Europe. On account of
the war most Of these smelters are out
of commission, and some, especially in
Belgium, have been destroyed entirely
While spelter has been soaring sky
ward and going higher and higher,
week after week, the same could not
be said truthfully regarding zinc ore.
Prices, it is true, are now higher than
ever before in all the history Of the
zinc industry, but miners have been
eontending strenuously that prices
should keep step proportionately with
the speter quotations and this lat
est action by the smelters in bring
ing in foreign zinc ore in quantity is a
most drastic reply to the American
miners demand.
The Ross Bros. mine at Linden is
praised by operators as one of the fin
est zinc producers in this district,
carrying two sheets in blanket forma-
ton, each four to ten inches in width
and showing a working face 100 feet
wide. The ore is intimately associated
with lead ore of which the company is
now holding 100000 in reserve.

THE Racine Times can see no reason
for adopting a compromise plan with
reference to charging for the tuition
at the University or Wisconsin of stu
dents who are non-resdents of the
state. 1t says:
The University should either admit
non-residents on the same basis as Wis
consin students, or else charge them
the amount which their instruction
costs. There can be no sound basis
for making the nonresident fee SIS,
500 or 1925 Either they are wanted
regardless Of expense, or they are not
wanted unless they pay the cost of
their keep.
There are good many taxpayers
who will agree with the Times on this
point. and who will go further and say
that if the University is as remarkable
as its management claims it will get
all the outsiders it wants without brib-
ing them at the expense of the tax
payers Of Wisconsin.

growers should remember that if a
hill of beans is planted between the
hills of potatoes the potatoe bugs will
shun the patch and no Paris Green or

method is to plant flax seed in each
hill of potatoes and there will be no
trouble with bugs where the seeds
grow. This seems very simple
remedy, and it is worth trying.
