Live Like a Christian and Fiuht
Like a SOutERerner."


Ihe Message OF a Pastor and His
Wife TO AN Only Son.
MR. HEARST gladly publishes every item
which tends to prove that his second
War-propaganda is as successful as the first
the first having been that of 1898 when he
clamored for the War with Spain.
Consequently, he jumped at the opportunity
to give prominence in his Georgian to the fol-
lowing:
PASTOR WIRES ONLY SON TO GO CALAMITY
Second Lieutenant w w Foote, of Company
A, Monday received a telegram from his parents
Rev. and Mrs. w. r. Foote, of Washington, Ca
1t said
Congratulations Live like Christian and
fight like Southerner"
Mr.. Foote is the only son.
"Live like Christian; fight like South
erner!'
May we allow ourselves to do some indie
pendent thinking, and some free press preach
ing, on that tert?
Usually, the preacher does the preaching.
and we laymen sit mum, and take our phvsic
feeling sure that there must be spiritual re-
freshmen IN the drippings from the sanctu-
airy.
But, turn about is fair play, and we laymen
should occasionally preach to the preacher.
Taking Pastor Foote'S own text, let as SER
monte a bit.
What does the Government call the Funs
ton-Pershing invasion of Mexico?
The United States Government calls it a
"Pnajtjoe Expeditions" Funston and Perish
ing call it by the same name.
A. 9uo
informing the Government of the doings of
our troops, are addressed from Head
quarters Punitive Expedition
The very word selected by the Government
and used by its official military representa-
tives, tells the whole world that the purpose of
the invasion is to punish, chastise, scourage,
tahc 0engeance upon, REVENGE INJURY,
ETC.
Therefore, we have the highest evidence
that this invasion of an independent country
a Republic, like ours-is not self-defense,
is not to protect our own soil, and is not to
maintain our own liberties.
The President has cast aside the thin mask
ne wore IN New York, when he went there to
receive the 10 dead Amercans-hardly more
than boys-who had lost their lives in that
valn-g glorious attempt to compel the Mexicans
to salute Admiral Mayo's flag.
Our gallant marines had killed 800 Mexi-
cans, who were defending their homes and
native land from foreign attack, and many of
these victims Of Mayo's vain glorious demand
were civilians shot down in their own homes.
But when President Wilson went to New
York, to receive and to honor the nineteen
dead American lads he felt that an explana-
ton was due to the world. for our attack upon
Vera Cruz, our shooting of Mexicans who had
had nothing to do with Mayo's Tampico Incl
dent, and our high-handed seizure of the
principal port of Mexico.

RACE RIOT NARROWLY AVERT
ED FOLLOWING DEATH OF
SAILOR AND MARINE OF BAT
TLESHlP NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Norfolk, Va. April S.-Following
the killing of a sailor and marine
here tonight by George Carter, a
negro, fears of race riot led Of
ticers to round up all men on shore
leave from the battleship New Hamp-
shire. now in Hampton Roads. c. e.
Day, ordinary seaman, from the New
Hampshire, and Charles Syronstom,
marine, from the naval hospital,
were the two men whom Carter shot
and killed.
Davis and Stronstrom were with
four other shipmates who came to
the assistance of an aged white man,
who, it is claimed, was being mis-
treated by several negroes.
William Carter, one OF the negroes,
ran and the sailors gave chase. Some
one told George Carter that several
sailors were after his brother, and
securing a pistol. he went in pursuit
of them.
The chase continued for several
blocks, and when near Cumberland
and Charlotte streets, William Carter
was caught by his pursuers. His
brother arrived on the scene Just as
one of the sailors put his hand on
the fleeing negro. George Carter

Just as they reached hospital
George Carter escaped.
Shipmates of Davis and Suonstrom
made a demonstration near police
Headquarters. where several suspects
were held and the police requested
the naval authorities to order the
men back to their ships. This was

TOR TRUCKS WITH SUPPLIES.

That, if not Carranza, at least some
of his men are far from sincere in
their apparent support of the United
States in Mexico; that Carranzista
troops have stolen American motor
trucks laden with supplies essential for
our soldiers, and that serious results
may follow, are the sensational allega'
tions made in letter received by Col.

tor trucks belonging to the American
army, together with the drivers.

POCATELLO MAN TAKES LIFE

POCATELLO. IDAHO.-Owing appar-
emily to distressful mental conditions
Walter a. Staley. a well known and
old time citizen of POcatello drank
three or four ounces of a solution of
cyanide of potassium last night about
Q o'clock, and lived about ten minutes
The deadly nature of the poison made
it impossible to communicate anything
to his family or friends after it was
once taken
Domestic affairs are attributed as
the cause of his act. IT is said that
he made a will a week or two ago, in
which the bulk of his property was
left to his wife, and that following
violent quarrel with her and with his
father-'n-law. F. NJ. Cook, during
which the latter was elected from the
premises. he drank the poison. Neigh
bors were Immediately summoned, and
a physician arrived within a few min
utes, but not in time to be of any
service in saving the life of the I'M
fortunate man.

The Argument Closed.

The European war was the subject
of the conversation. The two men
were seated side by side in chairs in
one of the downtown one-arm lunch
rooms. They had fought over several
of the battles. and had also proved
their ability as diplomats by disposing
of a number of the most important
questions involved in the great strug-
gle. But even then they had been I'M
able fully to settle the war. Still they
disagreed on some of the main facts.
"Oh, well, nobody is going to be
licked, one of the lunchroom diplo.
mats remarked with much emphasis.
This expression of opinion had fall
len also on the ears of third man,
seated near the two. He turned quick
ly.
Yes, but when the war is over
every country will be broke" he said.
And it is much worse to be broke
than to be licked. and / am speaking
from experience"
In the face of this expert testimony
the argument was closed.

DODGES PULLS HILL
WHERE OTHERS FAIL

At last the controversy in this city
about which is the most powerful of
all the different makes of cars has
been. settled TO the complete satisfac-
ton of many automobile owners and
prospective purchasers. On Christ
mas day, many hundreds of people
from Montrose, Colona, Olathe and
Delta witnessed what proved to be an
intensely interesting pulling contest
between all cars whose owners cared
to enter.
Immediately north of the Buckley
brick mills is very steep and crooked
road running over two hundred feet
to the pinnacle of cone shaped hill;
road that hardly anybody would sup
pose could be negotiated by an auto.
The hill is of an average grade of
28.6 per cent, starting at 1922 per cent
for 80 feet, then 16 feet of per cent,
20 feet of 1879 per cent, "a feet of
1916 per cent, 40 feet of 26.17 per cent
and finishes with sc feet of 28.67 per
cent grade. And despite that terrible
grade, a Dodge car ran up it. easily
and rapidly loaded with nine large
men, three of whom weighed more
than two hundred and all together of
whom weighed 1850 pounds.
The stunt was inaugurated by Oscar
Lampman, who proposed to the leading
auto fiends of this county and Delta
county that each and all of them who
thought they had good cars, put in
ten dollars and that the pot be given
to the winners; two-thirds to the first
and one-third to the second best Eigh-
ty-five cars appeared on the scene but
there seemed to be but few drivers
who dared try that terrible road
There is a small place on the pima
Gle where a car can be turned around,
but should anything happen to the
steering gear or any other vital part
of a machine, the consequence might
| be terrible newspaper story. Should
car pass over the narrow top of the
peak it would plunge down into the
Uncompahgre river a hundred feet be-
4 low.
1t is thought that had it not been for
the dangerous appearance of the place
to which the cars had to climb, more
cars would have entered.
The excitement shown by the people
witnessing the performance indicates
the intense interest they have in the
merits of the several makes of ma
chimes, and what they could be heard
to say about the climbing power of the
Dodge would have done the designer
good if he had been present
Mr.. Hartman ran up with the COM
peting Dodge with five passengers.
All agents of the popular cars here
and in Delta were asked to enter this
contest, but for reasons best known
to themselves would not enter, except
as above named.

interest to Salmon tract settlers. OF
account of the similarity of condition.

The point of contention is whethe
or not lands under the King Hill ditcl
are legally assessable for taxation
decision was handed down in another
case about a year ago, which was con
strued by the attorney generals office
to be applicable to the King Hill situa-

maintain that the status of King Hill
lands is distinctly different from that

through is a representative one and
will decide the question of the legality
of a taxation of practically all of the
lands in the segregation.
The decision of the district judge
merely a step, however, and the case
will be carried to the supreme court
regardless of what his decision may
be. 1t is understood that arrange

short time thereby avoiding any de-

SURVEY OF IDAHO
RIVERS Is PROPOSED

WASHINGTON authority
granted by the river and harbor bill,
now before the house Of representa-
tives, a survey of Snake river from
its mouth to Pittsburgh land ng. and
of the Clearwater river from its
mouth to Orofino has been authorized,
as requested by Representati,c s Smith
and McCracken. The survey will not
only determine a plan for improving
navigation, but also determine how the
improvement can be made to aid in
the development of water power. In
cident to this report the engineers will
be required to determine the extent to
which local intrests are ready to CO.
operate with the federal government
in making these improvements.
The committee also authorized
survey of St Marys and st. Joes rivers
in Idaho. The cost of these surveys
will be met out of a general appropri-
alton for the purpose. No improve
ment is authorized by the river and
harbor bill.
