"JOKING" AT CARRIZAL.

For 45 minutes the men fought jok- ing among themselves all the while, even when they realized we had been trapped and| had little chance of getting out alive" So Cap tain Mercy described the conduct of his troopers at Carrizal, in the most serious pre- dicament that any body of American soldiers has been in since the Spanish war.
 In tragic extremity, those men in khaki were true to the American tradition. It not that they fought bravely-any race can do that, even Mexicans. But they fought with smiles on their lips, and burst into song while the lead sprayed around them from the Mexican machine guns and enormously su- perior enemy forces charged their thin unpro- tected line. That was characteristic The American refuses to take danger seriously He may be glum enough over triAes, but when real tragedy comes he sheds 1t as duck sheds water, and he faces death with a grin.
 These men were negroes, too. In fact, nearly all the American troops that have been mixed up in serious fighting in Mexico so far have been negroes. And from the re- ports of their behavior, nobody would ever think of raising the color question. They acted just as we should have expected Ameri- cans to act.

THE JAPANESE ALIBI.

Both Germany and Japan, the two coun- tries naturally falling under suspicion, deny having anything to do with fomenting troub- le for us in Mexico Japans disclaimer is the most convincing of the two Germans have been or1tspollen in their pleasure at the possi- bility of our being involved in war with Mex ico, and dare frankly wishing us all the trouble The Japanese show no such animus.
 'Of course, any claim that the Japanese government will assist Mexicans with nuni- tions and arms is out of the question and ab- surd,'' said Baron Ishi, Japanese foreign min ster, to an American press representative. There is no prohibition against private com panies doing so, he added, but it is 'eNtremely inprobable' that they will fill any Mexican orders, because all their output is being sup piled to Russia The Mitsui Company the Japanese Krupps," has informed the Mexi- can government that 1t cannot sell Mexico any arms or ammunition.
 Let me say with all the emphasis at my conmand,' added Baron Ishi, that the Japanese nation sincerely hopes that armed conflict between the United States and Mex

AM ER|CA'S LIQUOR BILL TAXES
 DROP
|S112,o34,419 Less Spent in 1915 Than
 in~1914; Less Beer Drunk.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-The year 1915 furnished the largest decrease in the nations drink bill in twenty years. The per capita consumption was 19.S gallons for the year, the lowest since 1905 and a decrease of 2.7 gallons from 1914.
 In money the nation spent $112,- O34, ,419 less for alcoholic beverag ges last year than in 1914. The figures are from a summary compiled by the American Grocer, which makes the following comment:
 If beer, the nations favorite bev- craze, shows a decrease of more than 200, ,000,000 gallons in consumption, do- mestic spirits more than 15,000,O00 gallons and wines nearly 20,000,OOO gallons, it is strong proof of change in the use of alcoholic drink that is national.
 Ten Per Cent Less
 Here is a 10 per cent decrease, which if continued would destroy the liquor traffic in ten years. History has oft recorded the destruction of great industries in less time. Ger tainly the record is encouraging to the advocates of temperance and the extremists, their friends the prohibi- tionists.
 United States government reports, which furnish the basis for these con- clusions, contain some startling sta tistics They show that in 1915 the nation spent s1,671 ,543,324 for alco- holic liquors. The figures for 1914 are $1 ,7S3, TAB.
 The total consumption of domestic and imported spirits in the last three dOQ OSe oa1lnnS Vaar- " average of 135, ,6S5, ,61S gallons. The 1915 consumption fell S,526,529 gallons below the yearly average of three years, 1913-1915.

OLD GUARD IN SENATE

Should the Republicans capture the Sen ate the seniority rule will inevitably prevail, for the Old Guard will be in the jority and the Standpatters can name their own commit tee chairmen The small band of progressive Republicans in the Senate IS steadily declin- ing, as is evident by the defeat of Senator Clapp in the Minnesota primaries and the fight being made on Senator Poindexter in Washington by MT. Humphreys, of the House, and the fight that will be made on Senator La Toilette to defeat his renomina- ton in Wisconsin According to the senior ity rule, Senator Gallinger will be President Pro tempore and Chairman of the Committee on Rules. Senator Gallinger's aversion to everything progressive IS well known and was recently illustrated by his ability to defeat the confirmation of Rublee on the ground that he was citizen of his own State personally ob- noxious to him. Senator PenrOse will be Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Sen ator Warren of the Committee on ApprO- priations, Senator Nelson of the Committee on Banking and Currency, Senator duPont of the Committee on Military Affairs, Sena- tor Lodge of the Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, Senator Clark, of Wyoming, of the Committee on the Judiciary, Senator William Alden Smith, of Titanic fame, Chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs; Senator McCumber ot the Committee on Pensions. Senator Townsend of the Committee on Post Offices anl Post Reads. Senator Sutte:iand, of Utah, of the Committee on Public Build ings and Grounds, and Senator Smoot of the Committee on Public Lands. The only inn portant committee of which a progressive Republican will be chairman IS the Commit tee on Interstate Commerce, to which Sena- tor Cummins will succeed by reason of the defeat of Senator Clapp. Senator La Fol lette must content himself with the Commit tee on the Census, or on Civil Service and Retrenchment, or the Committee on Indian Affairs, while Senator Borah will have to take his old Committee on Education and Labor
 How do real Progressives like the idea of the absolute control of legislation by the Old Guard of the Senate acting through their committee chairmanships?
 The tariff bill, in the event of Republi- can success, can be named in advance the "Penrose-F Fordney Bill,' Fordnsy being the ranking member of the House Committee on Ways and Means-F ordney of Sugar, Trust Inter Ocean fame The Republican members of the Finance Committee will be Penrose, Gallger, Clark, of Wyoming, and La Fol lette.
 Considering the fact that the original Republican insurgency in the Senate led by Deliver, Beveridge, Dixon, Bristow and oth- CTS, was aroused by the iniquities of the Aldrich-Payne tariff legislation what have their sympathizers in the country to say about the renewal of the old fight against privilege and favoritsm in the framing of tariff bill with reactonaries who fought Deliver and the insurgent Senators in entire control of the situation?

Geo. A. Olney's popularity as a man and a citizen is not only with democrats, but with republicans as well. When MT. Olney has held public positions he has always been i'm partial in the discharge of public duty.

 The average annual per capita con sumption for the last five years was 21 95 gallons, the minimum for the period 1S.S0 gallons; maximum 22.79.

The producing mines of the state have been assessed for the year 1916 by the tax commission. The assessment this year shows an increase in the value of this class of prop erty of over ffty-fve million dollars, most of the increase being new properties not here tofore assessed. The prominent new prop critics are the Inspiration, United Verde and the New Cornelia. It is said that the produc- ing mines would have been assessed at high value this year either under the provis- ions of the last special mining tax law, or un- der the mine tax law proposed in the present legislature, The high price of copper during the last half of 1915, of course, accounts for some of the increase in the present years sessment.

The Arizona republicans are ignoring the primary election law of Arizona today in Prescott, where delegated convention is in session for the purpose of agreeing on state republican ticket in the state this fall. The republican hope in Arizona this year lies in the nomnaton of Hunt as the democratic candidate for governor.
