Columbus, n. NJ, April 4. - North
of the line of the Mexico Northwestern
railroad through Arroyos and over the
trails that lead through buttes and
canyons of the Sierra Tarahumare,
American cavalrymen of the Seventh
regiment are riding night and day
seeking Francisco Villa, according to
latest reports received from field head
quarters at Colonia Dublan.
Little information concerning the
pursuit filtered over the border during
the day, and nothing definite was re-
ceived from official sources. There
the forces of Colonel Dodd had cap
tured the man who was once the
Robin Hood" of Mexico, but because
of the difficulty in communication
have been unable to make a report.
Later advices from the camp OF Gen.
eral ]. j. Pershing at the front, stated
that the track of a vehicle believed to
be the carriage carrying Villa in his
flight had been discovered.
Ride Through Heavy Gale.
Other advices said that the Ameri-
can cavalrymen were riding through
the mountains in the teeth of a heavy
gale, which now mingled with snow
and now with drizzling rain, cut
through the army blouse and sweater
into the very vitals of the men, but
that not a single man indicated a de-
sire to give up the search.
Army men here were considerably
disturbed by numerous warnings from
confidential sources that Villista adj
herents are gathering in the Chihua-
hua desert, both north and south of
Ascension and nea the motor trail
leading from Columbus to Casas
Grandes for the purpose of attempting
to cut the American line of communi-
cation.
An extra heavy guard In the event
of an attack, was placed on a truck
train, which left here for the front.
Isolated camps of soldiers guarding
the line were reached by the field tele-
graph and ordered to watch closely
for signs of hostile forces.

In recent months the laboring men
of American have had a practical

labor. American manufacturing estab-

fore received in considerable quaint
ties from the nations which are now
too busy with international conflicts
to engage in manufacture for export.
This demonstration of the value of
busy factories should not be lost upon
American laborers. 1t should require
nothing more than this to convince
them of the desirability of the enact
ment and maintenance of a protective
tariff which will establish and main
tain factories in this country for the
direct employment of labor and the
indirect employment of producers of
commodities needed by the factories
or by those who labor therein.

Democratic tariff law since its enact
ment in October, 1913.
Our imports for January amounted
to 1884, 1872, 900, or $21 100000 greater
than for January, 1913, under the Re
publican tariff law. But our customs
revenues for January, 1913, amounted
to $29,334,O00, whereas for January,
1916, they amounted to but $~15,544,000
or a difference of $13, 100000 in ia
vor of the Republican law. January,
1915, was also a war month, and our
imports were cut down to $122,372 900,
which revenue was collected in the
sum of $16,55s, 900. Here we have i'm
ports amounting to $62, 100000 less
than for the 1916 month, but the reve-
were 100000 greater, eonclus-
i've evidence that it is the enlarged
free list of the Democratic law, rather
than the curtailment of imports due
to the war, which is playing such
havoc with the customs revenues.

NOT SURE
OF HIS FACTS

A peculiar characteristic Of Presi-
dent Wilson is the positiveness and
emphasis with which he makes all his
assertions. When he makes a state
ment of fact he puts it in a form
which leaves no room for doubt as to
his own certainty of its accuracy. He
wants it understood that he has so
thoroughly studied the subject, and so
carefully informed himself as to facts
that those who get the information
from him need look no further. I'm
fortunately, he is frequently in error.
An illustration will show what is
meant.
The most important public utter
ances of the President are his mes
sages to Congress, which are, in fact,
messages to the American people, for
they are not only printed in the Con
gressional Record for distribution
throughout the United States, but
printed in every newspaper, regardless
of size or politics. 1t would be expect
ed, therefore, that what a President
says in his messages to Congress ould
be the most carefully considered and
most cautiously worded of all his ut
terances.
On December s, 1914, after the Eu-
ropean wal had been in progress for
four months, President Wilson deliv-
cred his message touching on the ques-
tion Of preparedness. He assured Con
gress that he intended to speak with
great p~lainness and directness upon
this great matter" After having de-
clared that he had studied the subject
thoroughly, he said: eff asked, Are
you ready to defend yourselves7' we
reply, Most assuredly, to the ut
most" That he was not blind to the
situation which existed across the
ocean was also shown by his state
ment: "When half the world is on
fire we shall be careful to make moral
insurance against the spread of the
~conflagration very definite and certain
and adequate indeed Answering
those who had expressed contrary
views, the President said; "Let there
be no misconception, the country has
been misinformed. We have not been
negligent of national defense"
In all these assertions, President
Wilson left no room for assumption
that others than himself might have
opinions worthy Of consideration. His
language was most emphatic and com
prehensive. The judgment of men
who had been many years in the War
Department, or who had served many
years on military committees in the
House and Senate, was declared to be
erroneous.
This p~ositiveness of assertion which
was followed only a few months later
by a direct reversal of his attitude
without any material change in the
conditions, has naturally caused the
people of the country to view with dis
trust and to accept with great reserve
any other opinions he may express or
facts for which he may vouch. 1t must
be regretted that this situation should
exist with reference to a President of
the United States.
