Power Lies With Women.

Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, presi-
dent of the Kentucky w. C. T. u, de-
clared women have the power to force
adoption of national prohibition and
national woman suffrage.
Dangers and difficulties of an unas-
simulated immigrant population are
around about us in this country" she
said. Unless a strong, new moral ell
ement is speedily introduced our ship of
state may be wrecked on these shoals.
But that new moral element Is at
hand. If the women who are now en-
franchised will combine and agree not
to vote for any political candidate who
will not declare for the enfranchise-
ment of women and for the prohibition
of the liquor traffic. they can force the
introduction of these reforms into the
political platforms next year.

The Left Hand.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
If-after various reports-we are to
believe that 1t II in the left arm, and
not in the right that Kreisler is
wounded, this Is no cause for con-
graduation from his audiences. The
violinists left hand has the beau role"
When Charles Reade was pleading
vigorously for the restoration of the
left hand to equal honor. he liked the
public to guess what two marvellous
things were done by trained left hand
greater than anything boasted by the
right. 1t turned out that one was the
work of the famous left hand of q
pugilist famous in that day, Tom Say
ers, and the other was the lingering Of
q great violinist. But the pianist
Thalberg also put in his left" to the
amaxement Of the concert room.

Dispatch States Decisive De-
feat Was Administered to
ViIIaistas at Rodriguez.
STRUGGLE is CONTINUED
BY FACTIONS IN MEXICO
Gen. Villa Sends Emphatic Denial
of Friction Between Him and
Provisional President.

Further details of the fighting be-
tween Carranza and Villa troops near
Tampico, reported last night in Vera
Cruz dispatches, were received today
in official dispatches to the Carranza
agency here.
The following message was received:
Gen. Pablo Gonzales yesterday ad-
ministered a decisive defeat to the Viii
laistas at Rodriguez, a few hours ride
from San Luis Potosi. Several hundred
were killed and wounded. He now is
pursuing the enemy toward San Luis
Potosi.
Gen. Obregon reports that he has
dislodged the Zapatistas and Villaistas
from their strongest positions at Pu-
ebla and expects to announce the cap
ture of this city almost hourly
Vera Cruz Force Depleted.
Vera Cruz itself is almost entirely
depleted of soldiers. although a week
ago there were thousands in camp
here. They are marching west from
Apizaco on their way to Mexico city
and hopes are high here that Carranza
will re-establish his government in the
national capital in a period of no more
than six weeks, and that at the close
of three months he will be in entire
control of the republic and peace will
be permanently established. Reports
of desertionS at Tepic on the west
coast are absolutely false
Gen. Villa, in a telegram dated last
night from "the headquarters of the
division of the north to his agency
here, denies that he has questioned the
amnesty proclamations of Provisional
President Gutierrez. II obey and re-
spect the orders of President Cutter
rez," Villa wires. Il am his subordi-
nate"
Statements Denounced as False.
His wire message follows:
II beg to inform You that the state
ments circulated in the United States
relative to strained relations between
President Gutierrez and myself are
absolutely false, and there exists be-
tween US the greatest degree of cor
diality, and our personal and official
relations are intimate and excellent.
This gossip is utter nonsense, as
obey and respect all orders of Presi-
dent Gutierrez, being his subordinate
Please, therefore, deny in the most abb
solute terms these false and mfschtev-
Gus rumors.
Operations of Carranza Forces.
The Carranza agency here made pub
lie last night a statement summarize
ing reports of the operations of Car
rama forces in northern Mexico. 1t
said:
Monterey reports that Gen. Antonio
L villareal, at the head of his troops,
has left Monterey to engage the enemy,
and that the constitutionalist garrisons
at Laredo and Matamoras have con-
tributed troops to hold Monterey while
villareal is in the field.
LAREDO wires that Gen. Maclovic
Herrera, commanding $4,000 men, rout-
ed villista force under the command
of Maxine Garcia, who was himself
badly wounded. This battle lasted for
two days and Herrera Is following up
his victory with a march on Torreon.
The same source reports that Gen.
Pablo Gonzales has sent detachment
of 5000 troops from Tampico to take
part in the operations against Torreon.
The railroad between Monterey and
Saltillo and Monterey and Tampico is
intact"

HOLDS LIQUOR TRAFFIC
CAUSES SOCIAL POVERTY
Harry C. Mccain, Addressing
Temperance Convention, Says
Hope Lies in College Men.

Topeka. Kan. January l.-Trafic in
liquor was held to be the one great
cause of social poverty and economic
waste by Harry G. Mccain, extension
secretary of the Methodist Temperance
Society, in an address today before the
convention of the intercollegiate Tenn
perance Association. A great force for
improving social conditions. Mr.. Nc
Cain said, lies in an organization Of
college men to work in the interests
of prohibition.
TT is futile to talk of the ameliora-
tion Of social suffering while the liquor
institution is at work corrupting the
very foundation Of our social life" he
said.
The chief need of the present pro-
hibition movement is not agitation, not
organization, not legislation, but an
infusion Of honest, courageous college
men and women"
