There are SO many conflicting re-
ports from Gen. Villa that it is really
impossible to tell what he is going to
do. Not long ago came the story that
he had decided to disband his army
and flee into the United States; but
since then a dispatch has it that he
intends to give the Carranza troops a
final battle in the Sierra mountains
AS to how many Of the stories are
facts and how many are inventions OF
space writer's, there is no telling.

The possession Of credit is abso-

any man. There are things probably
that are more worth while; but they
cannot exist without credit. The man
who violates his credit hurts himself
more than he hurts the individual

TAFT PO|NTS0UT
UNW|SE MOVES
Former President Says That
Some Of Nations Steps
Must Be Retraced
BUSINESS HALTS
IN IT'S PROGRESS
People Must Return to Rule
By Justice, Equity and
Moderation, He Says

Bloomington Ind, Jan. 2l.-Dcclar.
ing that the country was hating in
business and progress and learning the
unwise steps that had been taken and
needed to be retraced, William H.
Taft, former president, said here today
that the people should go back to the
line of justice, equity and moderation.
Professor Taft was the guest Of In
diana university and delivered the
principal address at the founders day
exercises, which celebrated the ninety
fifth anniversary OF the university.
Eve need not go back to TIE coldi-
lions that led to the great reforms and
we shall not do So said NJ. Taft.
Corporations have been driven out OF
politics, and while of course, corrup-
ton is not ever absent, the danger OF
plutocracy has disappeared
Part of the costs Of the original
disease is the incidental damage from
the inevitable excess OF remedies. Tie
persons who suffer most are the least
able to bear suffering-the wage earn
ers, whose comfort and living are de-
pendent on constant employment
The former president defended the
railroads, saying that the close and
absolute supervision over the manage
ment and the restriction on the rates,
together with the increase of main.
tenance "of wages through the power
of trades unions have ground the rail
roads between the upper and lower
millstones and prevented fair return
on their capital
Mr.. Taft declared that the selection
OF candidates at a general primary
has not tended to the elimination OF
corruption of machine rule or the Sc
lection of better representatives of
party. He admitted that there were
abuses under the convention system
but even at that it is more preferable
in many ways than a general primary
he said. He also criticized the in
itiative, referendum and recall. espec.
tally deploring the idea of the recall
OF judges.
