Ais Not Well on
The Rio Grande

Washington, May 9.-President Will
son today asked for 1000 fresh troops
for service on the Mexican border.
A force Of 1000 state militia and 5000
regular soldiers are being sent out as
rapidly as possible to the southern
Texas frontier This is the first time
since the Spanish-Americon war that
the president of the United States has
called on the state troops in an inter
national crisis.
Ambassador Arrendondo. Carranza's s
representative at Washington, told
Secretary Robert Lansing today that
the raids against the Big Horn coun-
try were directed from the American
side of the Mexican boundary line.
He stated that two fresh raids against
the United States towns are being
plotted in our own country.
General Obregon suddenly and un-
expectedly balked last night on the
pact made at El Paso. and demanded
that a limitation be placed on the stay
of American troops in Mexico. 1t now
appears as IL the conferences between
General Hugh l.. Scott and the Mex
ican minister of war will result in
no concessions from Mexico. and no
Willingness from the representative
of the provisional government to co
ment in the determination of the ban
dts of Mexico. and their leader. Villa
This may become the condition. un-
less the movements of the new troops
ordered out by the United States war
department convinces Obregon that
his demands are futile.
Army men at the capitol said today:
THE present situation is not at all
good, and we might as well prepare
for trouble in Mexico"
1t was just learned here that the
department of justice at Washington
has been making an extensive inves
tigation of the recent Mexican raids
in Texas, believing that some of them
were organized in the United States
Many persons believe that Obregon
has completely broken off his rela-
tions with Carranza and taken affairs
into his own hands. believing that he
is now in a stragetic position to gain
control of the Mexican government.
Washington, May 9.-Declaring that
the outbreak of the Mexicans yester-
day, resulting in a raid of the Big
Bend country southwest of Alpine,
Texas, in which four Americans were
killed and two captured, emphasizes
the danger of further attacks, Secre-
tary of War Baker authorized a call
today for additional soldiers. The
state militias of Texas. Arizona and
New Mexico were ordered out and
directed to report to Major General
Funston at once. In addition to all
the companies in the above three
states. two more regiments of regu- |
lar troops have been ordered to the |
border.
El Paso, May 9.-The Intervention
lists In El Paso. Of which there are !
great many. are jubilant over the step
taken by President Wilson in calling
out the militia in three Of the border
states. Tho general opinion here 's
that this move will ultimately result

POLITICAL eosslPs

When one clnss Of people has any
thing to say, 1t has become largely
the custom to make q political issue
out Of 1t instead of a friendly discus
sion. 70 print II In a law book instead
Of a newspaper and to argue 1t be-
fore a jury instead OF to settle It In
the higher courts OF Common Sense.
An a result, political a~gitstors. polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine are powerful in
politics and ~dissension, selnshness. IN
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public AFFAIRS, for when the low.
damp, murky atmosphere OF misun-
derstanding envelopes public thought
Il breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure cir Of
truth and the sunshine OF understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
interpreters OF industry who r In
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles OF business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No bust
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-rfght or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding.
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail. power g~ravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema.
goguos thrive upon d~issension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies In eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers Of business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people. Inter.

ers who summon evil spirits from

the question of organization ~squarely

Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves mol be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say In fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
Of people. The farmers can only &C.
quire such influence In business, in
government and In economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits of their labor through organiza'
ton and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally

INSPIRATION Of e

BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment Of the county fair. you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on q new powerOthat 10 the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and ma~gnincence OF
the sceneNthat 10 the spirit Of the
harvest. You can hear the voice OF
nature calling you back to the SOIL
that is opportunity knocking At your
door. It 10 Q good chance to spend .
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection Of nature and to sweet
On your life with its fragrance. elevate
your ideals with Its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products ~ food are At for
the gods. and a. an article Of conn
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil r teachers
and preachers a. we'll Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
IN artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth Of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and We inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor Of agricul-
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations ~favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
II Is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band Is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science but
It is also we'll to remember that there
Is q market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships In the
exhibits at q county fair.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation ia now In the midst OF
a controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and 1t is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimea
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded az
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip.
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political a~viators spying through the
Affairs of business. and political sub
marines have g n %torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of q century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart Of honest enterprise.
No mar should be permitted to CRY
out for universal peace until his rec,
ord has been searched for explosives
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given q
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity
should begin at home.
