ABOUT MEXICO

President Wilson has never want
ed war. In the days when his oppo-
nents attacked him and tried to goad'
him into the use Of the aymed forces
of tie United Sta es, he remained
steadfast to his determination that
the blood Of young American soldiers
should never be 81 ed except as the
last recourse in the effort to uphold
the honor of the nation.
Once, when even graver eventuali.
ties were threatened, the patience Of
President wilson's statesmanship
was rewarded by diplomatic victory
that made the shedding OF blood un.
necessary. 1t was the Presidents
previous moderation that gave such
force to the ominous ultimatum
which brought full concession to the
rights of America and humanity.
No president in tie history of the
United States has ever placed the
cause OF the people OF the United
States upon a higher plane. No
president has ever struggled more
valiantly to preserve peace with
honor. His critics have proved the
case for President Wilson. Their
unanimous approval of his present
course has not dul.ed the edge of his
desire for honorable peace.
The immovabil:ty of the president
in the face of self 'sh and partisan
criticism, coming from those who
thought more of personal advantage
than of the welfare of the nation, has
been the best security of the Ameri-
can people throrgho ut tie time the
world has been darkened by war
clouds.
In his handling of the Mexican
problem, President Wilson has been
guided by the single impulse to do
what the American people would
have him do-to exhaust all the
peaceful means at his disposal to pro-
tect the lives and property of Ameri-
cans, and, failing in that. to uphold
the honor and digrity of the nation
by the use of it's AIMED forces.
Behind the president, who las so
truly represented the charitable spirit
of the American people, behind the
president now in his grim determine
tion to use the full military and naval
strength of the nation in support
of the American troops in Mexico,
stands the Amerio an patriot.

ChicorY Cultivation.

Chicory, so extensively raised in
France, is harvested either by hand
or by plowing. AS fast as the plants
in one line are pulled the roots are
gathered in heaps after the removal
Of the leaves and are roughly cleaned.
They are then transported to the fac
tories, where they are mechanically
washed in flowing water and dumped
on a perforated conveyer that permits
them to drain while travelling toward
the root-cutters. The roots. when cut
in small pieces. are conveyed to the
malt kilns or special driers, where
they remain thirty-six hours or more.
and after cooling are bagged. The
chicory, having now become friable,
passes into q series OF crushers: after
each crushing the broken material is
passed through sifters that divide 1t
into four grades. From the crushers
the chicory goes to the roasting re-
torts and then receives a final manip-
ulation. that of tinting, which consists
in giving the grains q coating of i'm
palatable chicory dust. The last oper.
alton is that Of packing the chicory,
either by hand or by machinery.

PUT WILSON ON c. o. p. TICKET

An indication of Republican friend
liness to President Wilson is found in
the fact that all over the country in
tie Presidential primaries his name
frequently was Wi ten on the Rerub-

publican candidates. The following is
an excerpt from letter received from
OMAHA, Nebr.:
"In canvassing the vote. however,
it was noticed by myself and the
other members of the canvassing
board that in nearly every precinct
in the county tie name of Woodrow

EASY TO DETECT THE LIAR
Scientific Tests Have Shown How
Plainly a Deviator From the Truth
May Be Distinguished.

When a man Is telling a lie he
breathes differently from when he is
telling the truth. The difference was
discovered by means Of some tests
made upon his students by Professor
Benussi of Italy.
He prepared cards bearing letters
figures and diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards cor
rectly, except in certain cases when
the cards were marked with red
star. and the students receiving them
were required to describe them falsely
Each student was watched carefully
by his fellows, who, ignorant of the
nature of the card, tried to Judge from
his manner whether he was telling the
truth or not. The watchers were un-
able to judge with any certainty.
Under the direction of Professor
Benussi the time occupied in inspira-
tion and expiration was measured,
and the measurement was taken again
Immediately after he finished. 1t was
found that the utterance of a false
statement always increased and the
utterance of true statement always
diminished the quotient obtained by
dividing the time Of inspiration by the
time of expiration.
DR.. Anton Rose, commenting on
these results. remarks that the dis.
covery furnishes a certain criterion
between truth and falsehood. For
even clever liar is likely to fail in
an attempt to escape detection by
breathing irregularly, Professor Be.
nussi having discovered that men are
unable voluntarily to change their res.
piration SO as to affect the result.

LAKES SWALLOWED BY SAND
Valleys Of Northwestern Nevada Have
In the Past Absorbed Immense
Volumes Of Water.

The large prehistoric lake which
flooded q number Of the valleys Of
northwestern Nevada At very recent
geologic date, but has now passed
away, was named Lake Lahontan. in
honor of Baron La Hontan, one of
the early explorers Of the headwaters
of the Mississippi. The lake covered
approximately 6, 400 square, miles At its
greatest expansion. and in its deepest
part, the present site Of Pyramid lake.
It was at least $50 feet deep-that Is.
its surface stood approximately 500
feet above the present water surface
of Pyramid lake. The ancient lake
had NO outlet except the one that led
straight up, its waters being dissipat-
ed entirely by evaporation. A large
area. . few miles, north Of Winnemuc-
ca is covered with sand-dunes formed
since the disappearance Of Lake La.
hontan. The dunes are fully seventy
FIVE feet thick, and their sleeper slopes
are on the east side, thus indicating
that the whole vast field Of sand Is
slowly travelling eastward. This prog.
ress has necessitated q number Of
changes in the roads in the southern
part Of Little Humboldt valley during
recent years. In some places in this
region the telegraph poles have been
buried SO deeply that they have had to
be spliced in order to keep the wires
above the crests of the dunes. The
sand is of a light creamy-yellow color
and forms beautifully curved ridges
and waves that are covered with a
fretwork of wind ripples, and many OF
these ridges are marked in the most
curious manner by the footprints OF
animals, which form strange hero
glyphics that are sometimes difficult
to translate.

SUPREME COURT RULES WISELY

The Supreme Court Of Colorado
has ruled that referred bills cannot
be submitted to the people without
the consent Of the legislature. This,
at a glance would seem unfair and
we were of those that at one time
shared in this opinion, but investiga-
ton has convinced us to the con-
trary.
Some four years ago there were 30
initiated laws and constitutional
amendments printed on the ballot
submitted to the voter, and not one
voter in fifty in the least understood
their significance, not even major
ity Of the attorneys. Everyone vot-
ed upon them, etl er fer or against,
with tie result that the genuine
eigLt-hcur law was carried, also a
fake eight-hour law initiated by the
c. F. & l. company, that set at
naught all the virtues of the true bill
with the result Il at our legislature
had to formulate ard give us the
bill now in operation.
Let the people select competent
legislators. who can and will familiar
ize themselves with the law, and We
will not have so many ridiculous
laws upon our statute books. Here
is where the shyster and politician
fool "Some of the people all the
time"

Jacob II. Schiff of tie great bank
ing house of Kuhn Loeb & Co., of
New York City. says that Wilson
has been one of the most construc-
tive presidents the country las ever
known. His enactment of just tar
iff law, based upon revenue require
ments, and his Fed raj Reserve Bank
law, are great achievements for the
benefit of tie country. and will con-
tinue to be of greater benefit after
the European war. But his greatest
achievement is the bringing of reap

GOD HELPS THOSE
WHO HELP THEMSELVES

Certain Denver commercial organi-
zatiors have recently Engaged dn an
active campaign to secure free adver-
tising from the newspapers Of the
state Cor Colorado-ma goods, and
are sending appeals to the publishers
asking that they devote much space
in both their editor al and news col
umps to arguments that Colorado citi-
zens should patr oni.e only home In
d,rstries. 1t Is pointed out that II the
newspapers will THUS educate their
readers, the Color ado manufacturers
can give employment to more work
ers, and thus add materially to the
wealth OF the state, as well as de-
irving greater profits themselves.
ALL OF this Is undoubtedly very true,
but q sensible way to look at the mat
ter is to consider that these same
manufacturers and distributors owe, a
duty to the state that they have
never fulfilled, and that it is not fair
to demand that the newspapers thru
patriotism assume tie burden which
these most interested have shirked.
Hundreds of varieties of articles are
probably manufactured in Colorado.
yet how many citizens can name half
a dozen of them, or know by whom
they are made?
The manufacturers as a class have
systematically RETAINED from adver-
tising their Colorado-made wares, and
have pursued a policy of withholding
from the public any Information as to
their being in business, except in so
far as it has been possible to work the
newspaper for free advertising. The
newspapers of this state are patriotic
to the last degree, but no reasonable
person can expect them to pay much
attention to the recent attempts to
get them to advertise the other fell
lows business at tt cir own expense.

The Denver Commercial club is
hollering its head eff for Colorado
citizens to purcha Sc state-made goods
and under liberal conditions should
be worthy cause. But what are
the manufacturers of Denver and 9th
er cities doing to make their wares
known to the public? Can you point
to a Denver manufacturer advertising
his wares in any country paper in
the state, that the people may know
there is such an article on the mark
ct? Whenever a newspaper wishes
to enlarge its business, it publishes
its salient points to the world at
its own expense and does not resort
to donation advert,sene ents at the
expense of others. If Colorado manu-.
facturers wish to keep Colorado trade
let them advertise like other people.
