Private wires reported
 |some little damage in the Corpus |Chrsti section, with beneficial Showers in parts of South Texas, but |the weather map did not suggest any general breaking in thc drouth. This, |with reports that another tropical
 Estorm had appeared near the Ba-
 lhamas, caused some covering right Fafter the opening, with October sell ping up to 14.2Sc and December to F14.44c, but the rally was checked by |realizing and the market was some

 The. covering movement carried Oc- [tober up to 14.3Sc and December to |14.5Oc during the middle of the morn ling, with the general list selling about |4@13 points net higher, but prices

NO. 13 NOT A CTTRE-AIJ.

Amendment No. 13 is not cure-all for political evils. It simply provides an instrument by which the people can, at will, prevent bad legislation or enact good, by uniting their votes directly for or against measures at the ballot box. They do not have to ask Ii 1t is Democratic or Socialistic or Republican, the only question they have to decide is, "do I think this is a good or bad law" and then vote ac- cording to their judgment. This lets voters of different political parties vote together on measures they ap- prove or disapprove, and at the same time permit each one to vote his own party ticket on everything else.
 And voters will not have to vote by "guess work" on these "peoples meas ures" they find on their ballot, for they are printed in full in at least one newspaper in every county in the state for four months before election, their attention is called to them by the cir culation of the petitions to put them on the ballot, with the result that they are given plenty of time and oppor- tunity to study them, and are thus prepared to vote intelligently on all measures introduced under the pro- visions of amendment No. 13.

PACIFIC MAIL co.
 RESUMES SERVICE

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 19.-The sailing of the steamship Ecuador to- day marks the resumption of the Pa cific Mail Steamship company's ser vice between San Francisco and the Orient, which was abandoned year ago when the company sold its fle4t at a big profit. The company has bought three ships from the Royal Dutch India Mail company with which to resume the service. If this initial experiment to revive the Pa cific business is successful an en- tirely new fleet will be put in ser- vice, and the three vessels already acquired will be released for the Gen. tral American trade.
 When the Pacific Mail Steamship company gave up the Pacific service a year ago it created something of a sensation, because one of the req sons alleged for it's action was that it would be impossible to operate under the American flag if the La Toilette seaman's act was enforced. An official of the company now says that the rise in freight rates has off set the extra expense eltalled by the operation of the act.

GERMAN ARMIES ARE STRONG
Colonel Churchill Favors All Possible
Aid to Russia.

London, Aug. 24.-On the presenta-
tion of the motion for adjournment of
the house of commons for the sum-
mer vacation Colonel Winston Chur-
chill, formerly first lord of the ad-
miralty, initiated debate on the con
duct of the war He said there was
no certainty of a speedy ending Of the
conflict
German armies were more numer-
Gus and better equipped than ever,
but what reserves they had was an
other matter, he said.
The long Eastern frontier, Colonel
Churchill argued, was the most vulner-
able and the inexhaustible armies that
Russia is able to bring into operation
should be utilized fully.
Therefore he urged the chancellor
Of the exchequer to permit no financial
consideration to stand in the way OF
providing Russia TO her utmost needs
with munitions and equipment upon
which, he said, everything now de-
pened

STATE STARTS MOVE
FOR BUDGET SYSTEM

St. Paul, Aug. 24.-Governor Burn
quist took the first step toward estab-
fishing a budget system for state de-
partments. A request was sent by
the executive to Andrew K. Fritz, state
public examiner, asking that budget
forms be prepared without delay for
the use of departments In submitting
to the next legislature estimates or
maintenance, operation and other ex-
penses for the next biennial period
Later developments in budget max
ing will be incorporated in the Min
nesota form, the governor said, mas
much as the examiner is expected to
gain through the experience of other
states and the more progressive cities.
The system will be devised to show
in detail the exact needs OF each state
department for the guidance of leg
islators In voting new appropriations.

RINdED BY BELLIGERENTS

Country Virtually Surrounded by Sol
diers Of Nations Now lovolved and
Great Injury Would Result Should
Decision Be Made to Join Struggle
Berlin, Aug Roumania has not
decided whether she will enter the
war. in the opinion of a person char
acterized by the Overseas News
agency as "a distinguished diplomatist
who is specially conversant with
Ropmanian affairs" On being asked
by the News agency as to the present
situation. he said:
'Roumania's attitude is due to her
geographical situation.
The country is virtually surround.
ed by belligerents. Roumanian states.
men therefore are guided by the de-
sire to spare their country the injury
which would be unavoidable if it
were to become theater of war
Since the beginning of the present
confiagration the entente powers. par
ticularly Russia. have been extremely
active in Roumania
THE country is flooded with Rus
sian agents and spies of all descrip-
tion. The entente uses money lavish
ly TO bribe politicians and influence
the press
This agitation reached its height
at the beginning of the last Russian
offensive.
AT the same time the entente an
nounced that an offensive campaign
would be inaugurated on the Mace
donjan front, a move purely for po.
litical purposes Now the sudden and
successful Bulgarian advance has
brought enick change in the ei'ua-
tion and the Russian offensive also
apparently Is siaekening
AT present Roumania is still unde-
cided. She probably will not give up
her adroit policy of neutrality which
up to the present has given her an
enormous gain in power, unless she
believes that the really decisive turn
in the war has been reached Mean
while trade relations between Rou-
mania and the central powers con
tinue to be normal and active"
