Going Into
Mexico
u. S. Punitive Expedition to Hunt Down
Bandit Chief.

Under cover or nlgnC Marcn
baud OF 1900 Mexicans, led by Fran
cisco Villa. came across the border
toto New Mexico and raided the town
OF Columbus. Before the less than
400 U. S. cavalrymen camped there
could offer adequate resistance, the
raiders murdered eleven American
citizens including one woman. a
doctor. hotel proprietor, merchant
and druggist. Spies are said to
have shown the bandits to the homes
ofthe Americans marked for slaugh-
ter. Eight U. S. soldiers were killed
and one fatally wounded in the fight.
Ing before the raiders withdrew.
The Mexicans were pursued across
the border about five miles by three
troops of cavalry under Major Tomp-
kfns, who, however, not being rein
forced, was obliged to withdraw when
Villas force made a stand. Colonel
Stocum, in command OF the U. S.
troops at Columbus, reported q
Mexicans killed 10 the town and
camp and so more In the flight back
across the border. One American
soldier was killed in the pursuit.
Colonel Slocum reported the affair
to General Frederick Funston Ia chief
command On the border. who, in turn
reported TO the war department ask
ing for more cavalry and authority to
send force into Mexico to capture
or destroy Villa. The president
granted both requests and it was
stated March 10th that American
columns were expected TO be moving
iato Mexico before the night of the
1lth. At this juncture the question
of violation of Mexican soil and
sovereignty was raised by General
Carranza, chief OF the constitutional
lists who, as president of Mexico,
through his representative at Wash
ington and In manifesto, declared
he would not consent TO American
troops entering Mexico in search Of
= bandits unless equal privileges were
given to him to send his troops into
the United States when necessary To
run down bandits operating on the
border. ~
On the 18th General Funsten had
not yet gotten his punitive expedition
In motion across the border owing to
necessity Of awaiting infantry rein
forcements for patrol duty in place of
the cavalry needed to run down Villa.
He said the expedition would go for
ward Just as soon as a sufficient mum.
Der of men with an adequate commits
sary, could be organized. "The task
ahead OF u.s." he said. "will be Ions
and arduous one"
In the meantime reports from
Mexican sources stated that villa
was scattering his band and going IN
TO hiding ia the hills.
On the 18th President Wilson, b,
Secretary of State Lansing, granted
Carranza reciprocal rights to pursu
bandits coming from Mexico int
American territory.
It was reported from the borde
March Is, that the main column O
the United States punitive expedition
would not be ready to cross iut
Mexico and take up the pursuit o
Villa until Thursday or Friday.
was also reported that between fiv
and eight thousand Carranza troop
were being concentrated at Cabullon
to Join in the pursuit Of Villa.

stream of lewdness, lasciviousness, obscenitv
and filth.
Now, the amazing thing is, that after I had
reprinted their own abominable Latin, as a
necessary part of my book, the horror that
was expressed by those Federal officers who
made themselves the willing instruments of
the pope, was dlrected-not against the priest
hood, which Systematically debauches women,
with this polluting language, but against the
man who had lifted the cover, and exposed to
the people the hideous practices of the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy.
Like that section Of the Northern press
which IS Mortified at Southern lynching-
but ignores the hellsh crime against women
which lynch law punishes-the indignation Of
the law in this case, has been directed for five
years, not against the men who commit the
crime every day of their double lives, but
against the man who exposed it, for the pur-
pose OF checking its ravages.
ASSUMED ALL RESPONSIBILITY FROM THE
FIRST.
Something has been said by near Catholic
dallles in this State, about my having at
tempted to shirk responsibility for those
articles.
The official record shows I never did. At
the commitment examination, on the demur-
rer before Judge Foster, on the first trial be-
fore Judge Lambdin, and on the final trial, I
assumed fully and Internationally, the re-
sponsibility.
Lawyers know that it was necessary for me
to have done this, before [ could demur to
the former Indictment covering this very same
matter, when Judge Foster sent the case out
Of court, because, on the face of the indict-
ment, the defendant had not violated the law.

church had been printing for the last hundred
years or more, and which had been going
through the mails during my whole life.
This Latin is a part Of the unspeakably
vile language which the Roman Catholic
priests who are not allowed to marry, use to
married Catholic women, and unmarried
Catholic girls, in the secrecy and seclusion
and confidence of the confessional box, when
this unmarried priest and that Catholic
woman are the only two who are present. and

If that Latin is translated literally in Eng

comparison, the flthest stuff that ever was
poured by a man, into the ears, into the mind,
into the heart, into the soul of frail, i'm
pressionable infammable and fallible woman.
There isn't human being that can possibly
associate those questions with the legitimate
functions Of religion.

[ may serve a good purpose, if give to
you, IN the plainest, simplest way, some of
the leading facts in my five year combat in
the Federal Courts, with the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy.
Ii, in doing SO, repetitions of what has
already been said, should occur, you must
make allowances for the peculiar nature Of
the case, and excuse me.
SIX years ago, after confidential talk of
an advisory nature with one of the most
prominent clergymen of my own church (the
Baptlst), | published in the Magazine, pros
pectus of series of articles, in which pro-
posed to demonstrate, that the Roman Cath
ollc Hierarchy constituted the deadliest
menace to American institutions, and to
Christian civilization.
Upon the appearance of this prospectus I
was notified, from New York, under the di-
rect inspiration of Cardinal Gibbons and the
present Cardinal John Farley, that, if I
should publish such series of articles as was
outlined IN the prospectus, [ would be boy
cotted by the American News Company, and
destroyed, If it was in the power Of the Ro-
man church to effect my ruin.
In great excitement, the Business Manager,
the late Jas. Lanier, brought me the letter
while [ was at work on the first chapter of
that series which now make up the book which
bears the name, 'The Roman Catholic HER
archy."
My reply to the threat of these arrogant
Roman cardinals would hardly be fit to
print, but the substance of it you may guess
at, from what followed.
We began the series, in exact accordance
with the promise made in the prospectus, and
the Roman cardinals Immediately applied

 The need for public library in Juneau Is ob- vious The general use that has been made of the institution since It's opening has demonstrated that much beyond question In fact 1t has been shown clearly that the community cannot afford to be without it.
 In view of these facts. the library management is not asking too much of the citizens of the city when it requests them to attend the meeting of the City Council next week to make known their views on the subiec, to those who have charge of the expenditure of the municipal funds
 However. in this connection it must be remenl- bered that there are also other things that are m portant to Juneau The Council and the School Board are seriously considering ways and means for provd ing adequate school room and facilities for the proper education of the youth of Juneau.

(Valdez Prospector)
 The Prospector is opposed to James wickersham as Delegate to Congress for several reasons;
 First we are opposed to Wickersham as Congress- man for Alaska because he is Identified with no party and can accomplish no good in Congress as an inde' pendent.
 Secondly. we are opposed to Wickersham because he poses as a Republican in Washington and as an Independent in Alaska
 Thirdly, we are opposed to Wickersham because he Is not sincere In his dealings with the people He talks publicly for Alaska and privately for Wicker sham. He has patted the government commissions m Alaska on the back and promised them to help them In Congress while privately he has backed unscrupu ous agitaors In starting papers both In Valdez and Anchorage hamper the commission and beltte their work. He has persistenty fought both the Road Com mission and the Engineering Commission In private and thus hindered appropriations and effecient ser vice
 Fourthly we are opposed to Judge Wickersham as Delegate to represent Alaska because he has abso lutely no influence in Congress. other Congressman withdrawing from him account of his straddling proclivtes instead of coming out scuarey on the is sues of the day
 Fifthy. we are opposed to wickersham because of the evil effects his previous candidaces have had upon the Territory He has torn all parties assunder and caused endless strife in nearly every city in Alas ka His efforts have always been to disorganize and tear down.
 For these reasons we are against James Wicker sham as Alaskas representative in the coming Con- gress. AS priVate cltlzeh we nave no "oIu 'O 9H' against him. but delegate he Is lacking the many qualifications which so to make successful Congress- man. or one from which the Territory derive any material benefit.
 If wickersham desires the support of the business men of Alaska, he should be forced to come out square ly as a Democrat or a Republican. By so doing he will ally himself with one of the dominant parties and accomplish much good for the Territory As an independent be can do nothing but draw his salary With the coming national issues he have no voice or no part and this is for the ultimate good of Alaska.
 Any man who has kept up with the political game knows that the day of the straddler has passed. A man is gauged by his party power and by that alone As an Independent he plays the game alone
 Wickersham has never come out square and above board on any issue before the of Alaska and untn he does we can see no reason why he should expect either Democratic Republican papers to en- thuse over him. or to i'll their columns with paudits for work he has never accomplished
