MEXICAN TROOPS
CROSS LINE
United States Enters Into Formal
Agreement With Mexico.
TO CATCH BANDITS
American Government Expects Hear.
~ 'o-Operation OF Carranza For
ces i'm Hunt for villa.

Washington, March 13.-The Uni
ted States Government entered into
formal agreement with the de facto
Government Of Mexico to-day under
which American troops will cross tho
border to hunt down villa and his
bandits with the expectation of hear
ty cooperation from the Carranza
forces.
Secretary Lansing made public the
text or a note, accepting General
Carranza's proposal for a recinroc.I
arrangement between the two gov
ernments and announcing that tba
United States held this apraauen+
to he now in force and binding unon
/ both parties. General Funston will
/ carry out his task under this agree-
ment.
Official announcement was await
/ ed tonight that the American for
ces had crossed the border. Plans
orr the troop movements have pone
ahead without regard othe diplo.
matte exchanges. Mr. Lansing also
made public a statement issued in
the name Of President Wilson. re-
iteratlng that every step being taken
by the Administration was based in
deliberate intention to preclude tba
possibility of armed Intervention In
MEXICO. The statement follows:
In order to remove any appre-
hension that may exist either in the
United States or in Mexico, the Pres
ident has authorized me to give in
his name the public assurance that
the military operations now in con-
temptation by this government will
be scrupulously confined to the OBJ
ject already announced and that in
no circumstances will they be suf-
fered to infringe in any degree upon
the sovereignty of Mexico or develop
into Intervention of any kind in the
internal affairs of our sister Repub-
liic.
ON the contrary, what is now
being done, is deliberately intended
TO preclude the possibility OF inter-
vention"
. The note to Carranza defines the
: terms fthe agreement beyond the
possibility of misconstruction. In
brief it provides that where condi-
. tions arise on the Mexican side Of
the border similar to those at CO.
lumbus which led to the orders to
General Funston, to enter Mexico.
the same privilege privilege will be
accorded to the Mexican de facto
Government without the necessity
of further exchange OF views. 1t
is clearly stated, however, that the
bandits to be pursued on American
soil by Mexican troops must have
come from the American side. com
mitted depredations on the Mexican
side and fled back again to United
! States territory. There is no such
= instance on record in recent years.

GO | TON DROPS $40 4
 BALE AT NEW ORLEANS
THIS WAS FROM THE HIGHEST POINT REACHED BY STAPLE
 THIS YEAR.

New Orleans, Dec. 11.-In one of the most exciting sessions and widest slumps ever noted on the exchange here, the price of cotton today was sent 131 to 161 points, or $8 a bale, on the weakest months under Satur. days close, owing to effects of the government forecast of the size of the 1916 cotton cro2. The estimate of 1l,511,000 bales as the toIal produc- ton was considerably above general expectations, and the January posi- tion sold down to 1865, which was 394 points below the highest price of the season, made two weeks ago. or a loss of about $20 a bale compared to the high figures.
 Offerings came largely from disar pointed holders of long contracts, who expected an estimate of not exceed ing ll,300,000 bales, and few on the floor were prepared for the govern ment's figures. shorts also were heavy sellers, but after half an hour of wild trading they commenced tax. ing profits largely, and their buying steadied the tone and caused a mate rial reaction, the market closing at a net loss for the day of 72 to S9 points

Politics in Air

The call for the first democra-
tic county assembly OF the year,
the one preliminary to selecting
Delegates for the national con-
ventiOn at ST. Louis in June. is
published III this issue OF News
Champion. There are to be nine
delegates from this county to the
stat" assembly which meets in
Colorado Springs on May Is.
Date Of the county meeting is on
May l3.
OF course. political prognosti-
cations begin to charge the air
"a these assemblies OF both dem
ocratir and republican parties
approach
One Of the outstanding facts
OF the situation hcreis the strong
sentiment developing in favor OF
don. John +. Pearson. present
state senator from GunniSOn and
Delta counties, as the dem mOcrntic
nominee for lieutenant governor
this fall Mr.. Pearson. from his
service in both branches of the
legislature and his experience in
public affairs and standing in
the state, would make a strong
candidate. On Tuesday OF this
week the Denver Post SAYS OF
him: "For lieutenant governor
John Pearson OF GunnisOn seems
to have clear field"
Judge Clifford II. Stone, who is
the present county chairman of
the democratic party, has signi-
fled the intention OF resigning
the position as chairman. the
same to take effect at the second
assembly OF the party in July.
Judge Stone will undoubtedly be
a candidate for reelection TO the
Office OF county Judge, place to
which his splendid handling of
the duties OF the position for
four years entities him, and nee
essarily the democrats will be
Obliged to look around for other
likely timber as county chair
man.
From the following, which ap-
peared in the Marble Booster of

the same boat. "Information
comes to the Booster that II. e.

republican county chairman, will
not be n candidate for reelection
to that post, business affairs

other term. Republicans over
this way have not heard who is

Govt Good Roads

News-Champion is inclined TO
oppose on principle anything
that savors OF paternalism in
government. II all tends toward
the Prussian ideal OF an oligarchy
OF men, who, because they hap
pen to have been born to wealth
or position or the chance OF a
better education, think they are
entitled to govern the rest of us
for our own good. Government
control Ofeverything, from forest
reserves TO railroads all bears a
little on this order. You have
your choice between calling ii
benevolent despotism or social
ism.
Nevertheless, there are some
things being distributed by gov
ernment largess OF which we are
not likely To get our share unless
We get into the game. For in
stance the famous, or infamous.
Rivers and liarbors bill. which
sometimes carries as high as a
hundred million for alleged i'm
prOvement TO Cow creek or Po-
dunk harbor, etc. This time it
will carry about forty millions,
but, Tor fifty years, every cent OF
this inter nal Improvement fund,
and that is all il amounts to
in the end, is distributed among
seaboard states. An interior
state like Colorado never gets a
smell, and ii we ask for anything
we get-forest reserves-to be
made SELF supporting.
OF late, our congressman have
been trying to grab slice by
furnishing a federal building for
every town that has symptoms OF
growing into city some day.
However, for most Colorado
towns and cities, federal build
ing is nice looking pile, but of
very little value except to harbor
a nest of tax eating clerks and
federal employees.
1t begins to look as though the
only way TO get slice OF this
"pOrk" is tD unite on demand
for federal aid in road building.
Every community needs good
roads. The better the roads. the
cheaper becomes transportation
to market OF all products of that
community. the easier tra yelling.
and social intercourse is aided.
We are all convinced that we
want good roads. but they come
