The plan is for the secretary Of war,
in making the contracts, to require
from the parties to the agreement q pro

cent a year on the value Of the site,

government the right to use the plant

that such a provision would solve one

CARRANZA AND VILLA.

Whatever may be the final out
come, Carranza at the present time
is far greater menace to this coun-
try than Villa is or ever was. The
spirit in which lie met the American
request for cooperation in the pun
ishment of briandage was anything
but friendly The fact that Carran-
"a is indebted to this country for his
present position as head of the de-
facto government of Mexico does. not
seem to count for much with the
crafty old .schemer. He knows that
Villas attacks upon AMERICANS and
American border towns are for the
sole purpose of bringing about inter
vention on the part Of the United
States; yet, with full knowledge of
that fact, he may side with Villa
and make it impossible to avoid a
war between this country and Mexico
Carranza may think that by resist
ing the entrance of Americans into
Mexico it would make him a popular
hero. and that all of the Mexican
factions would unite with him in an
endeavor to drive out the invad ers.
A condition like that would call for
an American army of at least 100000
men.

SENATOR SHIVELY DIES
LAWMAKER FROM INDIANA SUC-
cUMBs At WASHINGTON.
Veteran Statesman Had Been Ell for
Several Months-Family at Bed
side at End.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Benjamin F. Shively Of Indiana died
at hospital here after an illness Of
many months.
Senator Shive1y died at Providence
hospital. His wife, several of his chit
dren and his secretary, Maj. B.. e.
Long, Jr., were at the bedside.
Senator Shively had been i'll since
the middle of last summer. A COM
p1ication of diseases caused his death.
He appeared on the floor of the SEN
ate to be sworn in last fall, but since
that time has been confined to. his
bed.
The senator's death was announced,
in the senate and the senate immedi-~
ately adjourned as a mark of respect.
Senator Kern introduced a resolu~
ton expressing the senates sorrow at
the death of the senator. 1t was unani-
mously adopted. Twelve senators were
named to accompany the body of Sena-
tor Shively to South Bend, Ind, where
the burial will take place.
Senator Shively. born on farm in
St. Joseph county, Indiana, on March
20, 1857, the son of Rev. Joel Shively,
a preacher-farmer, had been prominent
in the political history of that state
since 1884, when he was first elected
to congress. He was sent to Washing
ton then for the unexpired term of
Mai. William H. Calkins, who resigned
to accept the Republican nomination
for governor. He was reelected in
1886, 1888 and 1890, and declined to be
a candidate in 1892.
When he left the house, after these
four terms, Mr. Shively returned to
the practice of law at South Bend, and
became one of the leading lawyers OF
Indiana.
The Democrats paid Mr.. Shively the
honor of giving him their partys CON-
plimentary vote for United States SEN
ator in 1903 and again in 1905, and
elected him to the office on January IA,
1909. He won over John Worth Kern.
who later also became United States
senator, on the twentieth ballot in the
Democratic caucus. He was re-elec ted
in 1914, by the direct vote of the peo-
pie, the first senator to receive his
election in this way in Indiana.
In 1889, Senator Shively married
Miss Laura jerks, daughter of George
A. jerks of Pennsylvania, who was So
licitor general in the first administra-
ton of Grover Cleveland. He is sur
vived by his widow and three children,
George jerks, John Joel and Mary.

The German submarine controversy
"a week ago. so disturbing, has sud
denly faded out of public interest
with the temperance of the Mexican
question. 1t is but natural that we
should be more concerned over the
murder of Americans on American
soil than the less Of life on ships
armed for purposes OF war,and owned
by foreign warning nations. 1t is
disputed point whether Americans
have the right to deliberately take
such chances, but no question arises
as to the rights Of Americans to live
unmolested en- American soil. Mex
leo should pay the penalty for the
outrages it has committed upon our
people, and Americans generally will
stand by the President in any step
he may take in Furnishing the wrong
doors.

The declaration of war by Germany
against Portugal does not materially
effect present conditions in Europe.
The importance Of the move is COM
paratively insignificant. Portugal has
from the beginning of the war been
regarded as allied territory It took
no active part because Of its impo-
tence It has no sea power and little
military strength. England has been
its political guardian for two hun
dred years and by treaty at present,
guarantees its independence as SOW
erign state.
Some German trading vessels hap
pened to be informed in Portuguese
ports and at Eng1and's request they
were siezed. This hostile act called
for the declaration of war. That is
probably all there will be to the war
between Germany and Portugal But
should Germany win in the European
conflict Portugal would be shorn of
it's South African possessions.

MOTIVE.

If your purpose is high, and your
aim is pure,
And you toll with patience, and
wait and pray,
I tell you that work will endure-en-
dure-
And it matters not what men may
say.
A swarm of insects may dim the
skies
Till the sun seems Swallowed and
overcast;
But clouds that are only the wings
of flies
Must yield to the power of light at
last.
Nothing noble can be downtrod,
And nothing worthy long hidden
from sight.
Back of this Universe stands God,
And He moves all things by the
lever Of Right.
It takes true motive to make true
art,
Art without motive lives but for a
day
And where there is purpose, and feel
ing, and heart,
1t cannot perish though worlds de-
cay.
Keep your courage, and work and
wait,
O toilers who toll with an aim SUI

The eyes of the years shall dlscrlm-
