PERSHING SCOUT HAS
 THRILLING ADVENTURES
(From Sundays Daily) w. H. Worthington, Mexico"


 "W. H. Worthington, Mexico"
 To the average person this sigma ture on the Head hotel register would mean little, but to friends of its own CT it is a public notice that Worthing- ton, popular mining engineer of the Southern Republic, is back on Amer ican soil after having been given up for dead.
 Until the raid on Columbus, N. M., Worthington was working group of silver claims, under lease, about 275 miles south of the border Although living in a region infested with ban dits and in danger of being murdered by them at any time, Warrington re- fused to leave Mexico when the bor- der trouble began to assume serious proportions.
 He was not aware of the raid on Columbus until several days after it had taken place, when a part of the band which participated in the out rage stopped at his house and de- manded money. Warrington replied that he had no money and was in formed that unless he could produce some he would be killed. His protes- tations that he had already given up all his money, however, carried weight and one of the leaders of the band told him that he would consult with his general as to what should be done with the American. The Mexican soon returned with the state ment that his general had decided that the American should die unless he supply them with money. A rope was placed about Worthington' necl; but, when the bandits saw that he was in earnest in his statements that he had no money about the house, they asked him if he had any in any bank. Worthington replied that he had an account with bank in Fl Paso.
 He was then ordered to draw . check for Sl 900, which he did, signing a fictitious name to it. The Mexicans seemed satisfied that the check was good, however, and again started southward
 Worthington then decided that con ditionS were getting too warm and he started for the border On his way he met the United States troops un- der General ]. J. Pcrshing, and it was only then that he heard of the out rage at Columbus. When the army officers learned that Worthington was familiar with the country into which the punitive expedition was going, they employed him as a scout. Worthington remained with the eX- petition until few weeks ago, when the crisis was avcrtcd and his services were no longer needed.
 Worthington's experiences with the expedition would fill book. He was ahead of the troops practically all of the time and his knowledge of the country is said to have proven invalu- able many times. He Is a stcadfast admircr of General Pcrshing and says that the intrepid leader at all times showed himself to be a remarkable commander and man with absolute ly no sense of fear.
 At ono time, says Warrington, the troops were within two hours of over taking Villa when they were ordered by headquarters to stop. The reason for the order, he says, he never learned.

piled to the farm loan association by the Federal farm loan board. This application blank and other necessary papers will then be referred to loan committee of the association which must appraise the property offered as security. Such application as IS ap- proved by the committee is then for warded to the Federal land bank and must be investigated and reported upon by salaricd appraiser of the bank before the loan is granted. The appraiser IS required to investigate the solvency and character of the prospective borrower as well as the value of his land When a loan is granted, the amount IS forwarded tc the borrower through the loan asso- citation.
 Each loan association must have a board of directors and secretary treasurer. The directors serve with, out pay; the secrctary-treasurers compensation is to be determined by the directors. The association must appoint an appraisal committee.
 In sections where local conditions do not make the formation of asso- ciations practicable, the farm loan board may authorize the bank to make loans through agents approved by the board. These agents arc to be banks, trust companies, mortgage companies or savings institutions chartered by the State. But such agents may not be appointed until year has elapsed without the formation of loan asso, citation.
 Government Helps With Capital.
 Where is the %50,OOO capital for each region bank coming from? By public subscription during 30 days after the stock is offered for sale and by the purchase of the unsold stock by the secretary of the treasury. The government shall not receive any dividends on its stock.
 Joint-Stock Banks.
 In addition to the system of F Federal land banks, and the national farm loan associations of borrowers, the act signed by the president on July Y permits of the establishment of joint-stock land banks and authorizes them to carry on the business of lend ing directly to the bon owers on farm mortgage security and issuing farm loan bonds. These banks must have a capital of not less than S250,0OO. They are under the supervision of the Federal farm loan board, but the gov crnment does not lend them any f. nancial assistance. The joint-stock bank is free from many of the condi- tons imposed upon the Federal land banks.

the letter.
Unless the differences that have
existed in the past be healed, and the

says the letter, 'but the voters who

AND PARTY.

The Argus-Leader, radi ally anti
Roosevelt, says:
Last week, Colonel Roosevelt
voted in the primary as a pro-
gressive and this week he is a
candidate for the republican pres
idcntial nomination. One would
think that in picking out a can
didate, the republicans would do
well to confne themselves to their
own party"
1t doesn't particularly matter, so
far as The Saturday News is able to
discern, whether II man bears the
party label or whether he does not
the main point is with reference to
the ideals and the principles for
which he stands.
The Saturday News is not disposed
to believe that Colonel Roosevelt
would command greater support
throughout the country than some
other man whom the republicans
might name as their standard-bearer,
but it is disposed to think that any
party can well afford to accept as a
titular leader any man who better
represents the predominating senti-
ment of the rank and file of its mem
bership than any other man.
The "old guard" within the repub-
lican ranks has been d%ictatorial and
Needless OF the changing conditions
demanding a more advanced position
with regard to many of the public
questions of the hour. If the "old
guard" had been more responsive to
the development of modern thought
along political lines it would not to-
day be ~floundering in the slough of
%despond" in search of a candidate
who is able to restore the party to
power-any reasonable and sensible
man within the party would answer
the purpose.
Today, however, republican thought
centers around only two men as at all
likely to be able to place the repub-
lican banner on the fiag-pole OF the
old ship of state. One of these two
men is Roosevelt; the other is
Hughes.
II the "old guard" persists in jump
ing on Roosevelt with both feet, as
it did in 1912 at Chicago, Mr.. Wilson
will be continued in power, notwith-
standing his vacillation with respect
to the great questions which confront
the American people.
1t is possible that Roosevelt him
self could not be elected to the presi.
dency again, but ii is obvious that
unless Roosevelt supports the repub-
lican nominee in 1916 there will be
no republican at the head of national
affairs for the next four years.
MI. Roosevelt has been before the
country for a generation. During all
these years we have heard him de
nounced from hades to breakfast and
back again, but he has acquitted him
self as a great and patriotic American
in every position that he has held
during the past ~thirty-fye years,
Roosevelt is the most ~forceful Am
erican that has been in public life
since the days of the soulful Lincoln.
He has been compelled to fight his
way through every phase Of political
activity. He is still fighting. He will
die with his political boots 0 n

1T CAN'T BE OTHERWISE.

Discussing the socialistic trend to-
wards ~confiscation, the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader says:
Socialism stands for the con
fiscatiou of the wealth Of the ma
ton. The socialist movements
have never denied in any nation
al platform that they do not in
tend to contiscate all the means
of production and distribution
And the socialist party leaders in
late papers that boldly proclaim
that confiscation is the only way
to the cooperative commonwealth
The Appeal to Reason, the social
list organ Of widest circulation,
in an editorial said: We unfurl
the banner of confscation. All
the wealth now in possession OF
the capitalist class represents
robbery. We propose TO restore
this wealth to its rightful owners,
and we don't are who knows it.
We are for con~fiscation.' And
this paper is circulated in every
part Of this nation by the social
list leaders and workers"
The Saturday News holds no brief
for the socialists, but it fails to com
prehend how conditions could be 9th
erwise than c~onfiscatory in the event
of socialistic success at the polls.
To pay cash for the properties held
by the great financial interests Of the
country would be out of the question
there would be no cash in the treas
ury adequate to the needs for such
purpose.
The issuance of interest-bearine
bonds to purchase these vast holdings
would result in a condition against
which the socialists have vigorously
protested-an a~ristocracy of wealth
with the idle rich living in luxury
in %perpetuity at the Expense of la
bor," for, at its base, socialism con.
tends there shall be nothing to eat
for him who, able to do so, refuses tc
work.
Confiscation, therefore, is an essen.
tial phase of socialism. The leading
socialists Of the world recognize tina
it must come in one form or another
if socialism ever becomes effective.
Even should bonds be issued in ex,
change for individual property hold
ings, as a noted socialist whom We
once heard lecture said, they would
be gradually contiscated through a
graduated income tax. "We'd get ii
all back" he declared, in substance
"by taxing it to DEATH"
So, if Brother Day of the Argus.
Leader, doesn't want his vast news
paper holdings c~onfiscated through
socialism, there is but n thing for
him to do about it-and that is to
see that socialism doesn't get the APP.
portunity to experiment on him.

RICHARD FRANKLIN PETTIGREW

"Unkind words" says the Argus
Leader, were said in a Sioux Falls
newspaper, during the recent city
campaign, of former Senator Petit
grew"
The Argus-Leader proceeds to say
that Mr.. Pettigrew has lived in Sioux
Falls for thirty-five years, and that
during all Of these years his name
has been well up at the head Of those
who have sought TO upbuild the com
munity.
I'VE may not always agree with
him. continues the paper, but we
respect him as a live wire and freely
grant his loyalty and devotion to
Sioux Falls"
The editor of The Saturday News
has known Mr.. Pettigrew for many
years. This editorial writer, for
some reason or another, has never
been able to endorse some of the pub
lie things for which MI. Pettigrew has
stood. This opposition to Mr.. Petit
grew dates back to 1884.
But, notwithstanding our inability
to think along the lines of Mr.. Pet
tigrew's thoughts, we have alWaNs
regarded the Sioux Falls mar as a
public spirited citizen.
When, in 1896, he spcctacularly
broke away from the republican par
ty, we thought then, and we have
had no ease to change our view on
that score, that Mr.. Pettigrew, hold
ing the opinions which he held with
regard to free silver, could not con-
sistently do otherwise than withdraw
from the republican fold.
Mr.. Pettigrew may be visionary,
possibly, now and then, he may have
veered towards p~arentalism, or even
socialism, in the matter of govern
mental affairs, but he has always been
both enterprising and patriotic.
