published interviews and of high officials of
both governments has been taken up solely with po-
itcal apologies and with for failures and
action-the other 8 percent with "watchfu waiting"

of Mexico.
It is a puzzle why and how the congress of the

such circumstances Some sort of hypnotic influence

would be making itself felt by this time.
Many of the statements made for publication by
secretary Lansing, ambassador ArredOndo governor
Ferguson, and others, might be taken up and legiti
matey criticised in DETAIL but probably good end
would be served by such discussion and nothing they
say have said change the facts in the

Candidate For Reelection

President Woodrow Wilson is candidate for re-
nomination by the Democratic party. Ihls has been
understood in general way for more than two years.
but the slight remaining mist Of doubt has Just been
cleared up by the publication OF letter written by
the president TO representative A Mitchell Palmer in
February 1918 some days before he succeeded to the
presidential power The letter is published presumably
with the presidents consent since it given out by
an intimate journalist friend The letter devoted
chiefly to general discussion Of the proposed constu
tionai amendment to limit president to term. But
it had then and now, direct personal application.
In the course of the letter, the following significant
paragraphs appear:
put the present customary limitation Of two
terms into the constitution if you do trust the
neoDe to take care themselves But make it two
terms and give president chance to win the full
service nv Droving himself fit for it
u can approach the question from perfectly i'm
personal Doint of view, because shall cheer
fully abide by Judgment Of my party and the pub
lie as TO whether shall be candidate for presi-
dencv again in 1916. I absolutely pledge myself to
resort to nothing but public opinion to decide
question"
Of the functions of president Mr.. Wilson says in
the Palmer letter:

his party as the chief executive officer the

LL"OAfBSTONE is itself again"
said A H. Gardner. Of the
- famous Arizona mining camp
six years ago a very expensive form
OF engineering was abandoned to secure
the manganese ore because the method
could not produce the metal as cheaply
as it could be brought from Servla and
Russia and placed upon the American
market. The Phelps Dodge people Are
now mining the manganese very sue
cessfuIly and shipments are going to
the steel mills in Chicago as fast as
cars can be sec. ed to make the hauls.
The nas- eanese is used in the harden
t-s.s process Of steel and the great de-
mand for steel both in industrial equip
ment and for the warning nations has
doomed the manganese again The
prosperity Of the Tombstone camp is
therefore due to the fact that European
manganese cannot be dumped upon the
American market More houses are
being built. more men are coming back
to work in the mines and Tombstone IS
due for much prosperity during tho
next year. 1t is one Of the ideal places
Of the world in which to live 1t is high

there is no winds to make it disagree

famous Huachuca water. which is piped
from the snow covered peaks OF the

or its inevitable effect on the future of international
relations not only this continent but in Europe
Cen Trevino's official report to the Washington
through the Caranza ambassador is to the
effect that two bandit chiefs who were not with the
band at Santa Ysabel have been killed, and that the
hand which perpetrated the outrage has altogether
escaped dividing into small groups some going west
some going south, seemingly to the mountains; If we
Learn the appearance of bands IN the mountains
our forces will locate them and pursue them"
From the wording of Gen. Trevino's dispatch It IS
evident that he does appreciate the Importance OF
rounding up and Furnishing this particular band at all
costs Possibly the Carranza troops all too busly
engaged in defending their own larger towns from
capture At any rate the end of Caranza government
efforts TO round up and punish the band that slew the
Americans has already been seen; that IS the only
inference be taken from Gen Trevino's dispatch
The situation at Washington is no better. It has
been officially announced that nothing more IS TO be
except rely upon the Caranza forces to punish
the assassns The extent of the Washington govern
ents activity has been the sending Of few dispatches;
from all appearances Washington government activities

EPISCOPAL MISSION WILL
CLOSE SUNDAY; SUCCESS

Dr. Philip Cooks eight days mission
at the church Of st. Clement will close
Sunday night with the evening service.
The mission has been a week Of great
good for the parish OF the church o.
St Clement. All the services were well
attended, and the interest in tnem IN
creased daily.
One of the questions answered by
Dr. Cook at the service Friday night
was; Have we any authority for the
change of our day Of worship rom the
seventh day Of the week TO the first?'
Dr. Cooks reply was:
The united voice OF Christianity
throughout the ages has chosen the
first day as a weekly reminder OF
Christ's triumph over the grave, so il
is the duty Of all to listen to the voice
Of united Christianity. The change of
the day is one Of the best possible argu-
ments for the truth Of the resurrec-
ton"

RAINS WILL PREVENT
COTTON DETERIORATION

Sundays rain and cool wave while
it did not arrive in time to save the
states cotton crop, will prevent further
deterioration for at least a week, in
the opinion of Elmer f. Brown, sec
rctary OF the Chamber OF Commerce
He visited his cotton farm near Shaw
nee yesterday
81 could see the change in cotton from
the car window" he said When
went over il looked wilted and burned
on my way back it had perked up con
siderably"
Mr.. Brown believes cotton has a
good chance to make a fair crop be
tween now and November ,, the date
on which the earliest killing frost ever
recorded in the state occurred. Forty
days are sufficient, he thinks, to mature
boil OF cotton from the blossom.
