New York, March 16.-Zeferino pominquez, who at he time of the Nicaraga conference was offered the pres dency of Mexico and refused is, |said here today the United States could solve the Mexican problem by backing up Carranza financially. He explained:
 eff lean Of $100,00O,000 could be secured. the currency of the country could be put upon a sound basis by limiting the paper money to three times the gold currency. No stfong government will ever be set up in Mexico without financial support from outs de. In case the United States does not give it, some other power will. England very probably will secure the power in Mexico which might be obtained by the United States, unless Germany secures it first. Germany sees this. and will try to cut, England off from tEe oil supply of Mexico after peace is established"

AN PARCHMENT ANSWERED.

This trading n Pine Bluff may be all right 10 certain extent, but if everybody in town bought all thel" goods here the local merchants would
 have an easy time boosting prices. Outside competition is a good thing. The foregoing statement was made the other day by one of the many
 men who have been induced to think
 about the Ubiquitous tendency of mail
 order trading. He formerly bought all his merchandise out of town. but lately he is known to have easad up
 on the practice.
 His objection is common one. Be it said in rebuttal that the local
 merchants will continue to have q Ilenti;ude of competition even if
 every person in P.ne Bluff bought
 everything they need right in the city.
 The only way the merchants could boost prices would be to conspire to do so, which is out of the question and illegal.
 Besides, if all Pine Bluff needs wero bought in Pine Bluff there would be more merchants. It would be 2 greater trading center and able to serve the surrounding country bet ter. There would be greater stCcKs Il the stores and moro intense conl- petition.
 And competition dCesn't boost prices; so our friends argument seems to lack force.

THE ORIGIN OF. SHAMROCK ! WEARING.

Few. who put a sprig of shamrock ins their buttonhole on the 17th of March realize that these little green leaves more than once kept the Irish from death in dire famine times.
 In 1596 the poet Spenser declares tlyat the war had brought the miser- able nha bitants of Munster to'a point where they "flock to plot of water crosses or shamrocks as to feast. In his "View of Ireland" he describes this as the depth of ruin to which . land formerly having abundant corn and cattle had been plunged.
 The troublous times continued and the shamrock is mentioned as an article of food again and again. Fynes .Morriscn in 1898 writes that the herb is st being "snatched out of the ditches for food"
 Withers in Abuses Stript and Whipt" Q613) sings:
 And for my clcthing in mantle
 And feed or shamrocks as the Irish doe"
 Not until later was the shamrock used as the national emblem of EriE. Nathaniel Colgan, member of the Royal Irish academy says the earliest record of the wearing 60 the green is contain in the diary of Thomas Dinoly, who wrote in 1887:
 Seventeenth day of March yearly is St. Patrick, an immovable feast, when the Irish of all stations and conditions wear crosses in their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon and the vulgar superstitiously wea: shamroguas, three leaved grass which t,.ey likewse eat (they say to cause ] sweet breath.) The common people ard servants also demand their Pat rick's groat of their masters whicl they go expressly to town, thougl half a dozen miles off to spend. whsrs sometimes it amounts 10 a piece of or cobb a piece, and very few of tho zealous are found sober at night.
 A later reference to the wearing O. the shamrock appears in the works ot Dr. Caleb T!lreIkeld, a botanist 0 tue early eighteenth century. H' says:
 "The people wear the plant in thei hats in commemoraton Of St. Pat rick, believing that St Patrick use the three lobed leaf to explain tn Christian Trinity. This belief is gen erally said by antiquarians to hay arisen in the fourteenth century, al most thousand years after the tim of Ratritius,' who died in A. D. 493.

WILL NOT ADVERTISE STRIKES
United States Government Refuses TO
Spread Such Information

The United States government Will
take no part in spreading information as
to strikes and lockouts- Notice to that
effect has been given to the Mer-
chants Association by immigration Com
missioner F. c. Howe
The Department of Labor had asked
the Merchants Association to cooperate
in finding jobs for newly arrived aliens
and others. and got up blank forms and
sent them to the association. Each en-
plover in need of workmen was to ill
out the blanks. giving his name and ad-
dress. nationalities preferred and hours
OF labor.
The Merchants Association asked if a
card would be posted at Ellis Island or
distributed among employment agencies
if the card stated strike OF lockout
was in progress at the employers plant.
To this the government said no, has-
ing its refusal to help at strike-breaking
on the plea that in such cases there l.
no shortage of labor TO be met"

wages, it would only apply to employees
whose runs are from one state TO an
other.
Inasmuch as the bulk OF trainmen,
work wholly within a state, it would
result in the worst unuddle possible. \
few employees having their wages Fixed
by the United States and the rest of
them standing Just where they are now.
The claim made by the railroads that
as the Interstate Commerce Commission
has authority over freight rates, it
should also have authority over rates of
pay. is a clever and seemingly plausible
argument, put forward 10 secure public
sympathy.
Takes CogniIance OF Wages
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has always taken cogniEance of wages or
labor costs in passing upon freight rates.
One Of the leading arguments of the rail'
roads in making application for author
! ity to advance their freight rates has
been that outlays for employees have in.
creased and as consequence that they
should be permitted TO charge more for
! their services.
Elaborate statistical exhibits have in
l the railroads to the commission, which
set forth in great detail how many moro
dollars are paid out in wages and sal
aries now as compared with former
/ years. As a consequence The Interstate
Commerce Commission has always passeo
I on the question of the relation of wages
/ to freight and passenger rates, and to
I total operating costs.

VAST EARNINGS SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Reports on earnings of the Southern

receipts were in excess OF Sl3,ooo,o 600, and
for the fiscal year Sl52,co,ooo. Last
years operating revenues were Slsa,o ,ooo.-

possible for the outhern Pacific to carry

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 26.-The
following statement was issued today by
the transportation Brotherhoods,
The proposition of the railroads to re-
fer the demands of the railway broth
crhoods for an cight-hour day to the In
terstatc Commerce Commission is moth
ing but a proposition TO gain time for
the railroads and to waste time for the
men.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is not now equipped TO undertake this
task In order to undertake it the In
terstate Commerce Commission act
would have TO be radically amended by
Congress. Such an amendment would re-
quirc at least n month for passage, and
upon its passage several months would
be required before the commission could
actually begin the work thus imposed
upon it
Whatever may be the desirability of
empowering the Interstate Commerce
Commission to handle wage disputes, this
is not the time to do it. The commits
sion is ovcrburdcned with duties. A bill
has been pending before Congress, ur-
gently advocated by the railroads them
selves calling for an increase in the
membership OF the commission in order
TO enable II to handle cases already on
its docket.
Railroads Father Resolution.
A resolution is now pending in the
House, after having been passed by the
Senate, calling for an investigation by
Joint committee of Congress into the
need for railroad legislation, particularly
into the need for legislation affecting the
Interstate Commerce Commission. This
resolution was introduced at the request
of the railroads and for the express pur-
pose of heading off any railroad legisla-
ton till a comprehensive survey of the
entire situation should have been made.
Representatives of the railroads have
urged this resolution for these reasons.
Yet now the railroads, forgetting these
arguments, and frightened at the pros
pcct of being forced to yield TO the broth
crhoods, are demanding hasty and ILL.,
considered legislation, the first effect of
which would be to give them an ad-
vantage in their dispute with their en-
ploycs.
Would Result in Muddle.
The commission only has authority
over rates, etc. ON interstate traffic, and
has no control over matters that are
wholly within state.
Ii authority is conferred on the In
terstate Commerce Commission by Con-
grcss to fix or exercise any control over
