WEST TEXAS EDITOR TIRED IF PEOPLE.
 CALLING LIAR

DALLAS. Texas-A west Texas; sdi- tor got tired of being called liar because of an occasional typographi- cal error or slight disarrangement of the facts ir publishing a common place news item. In his wrath he announced the fact in boldfaee' type as follows:
 "A lot of people in this town fall out with the editor and brand him as a liar when the ordinary human mis- takes of life show up in a newspaper You have little charity and fellow feelin' For every man in your town but the editor You claim that you want the facts, and d-H if I don't give 7em to you. Read the next issue of this sheet and you11 see some facts with the Dark off. I'll admit that I have been liar, an editorial liar. even since I have been editing this sheet, but I have never printed a lie in these columns except to save somebody's feelings from be- ing hurt. Pm not afraid of any of you and I'll be dad blamed if I don't print the plain truth from now on, or until you get oup of the habit of call ing me a liar every time I make one little unavoidable typographical error.

In this Manner America
Hopes to Solve Unset
tied Problems.
H. P. FLETCHER GOES
AS u. S. AMBASSADOR
His Presence May Lend
Moral Effect in Restoring
Order There.

Washington, Jan. 30.--Full diplo-
resumed Immediately in an effort by
the United States to solve through
formal channels the troublesome ques-
tons pending with the Carranza de
facto government and for its moral CT
feet in aiding Carranza to restore
order and set up constitutional govern
ment. 1t was announced after todays
cabinet meeting that Henry p.
Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador to
Mexico months ago, would leave for
his post in few days accompanied by
his embassy staff.
There has been no American am
bassador at Mexico City since Henry
Lane Wilson was recalled after the
killing OF Madero and Huerta's as
sumption of power and formal diplo-
matte intercourse has not existed since
Huerta handed Charge Nelson
O'Shaughnessy his passports April %,
1914, upon the landing of American
Marines at Vera Cruz. The Brazilian
minister cared for the interests of the
United States for a long time; yari-
GUS unofficial agents have been sent to
Mexico upon special missions; and
since the recognition of the de facto
government subordi-
nate officials have been in charge of
the embassy.
Ambassador Fletcher will carry
with him complete instructions on
questions now pending which Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing DEE
sire taken up with the CarranZa
government. These include strong pro-
test already made against provisions
of the proposed new Mexican consti-
tuition discriminating against foreign
ers and their interests.
Mr.. Fletcher will go by steamer from
New York to Vera Cruz and from there
to Queretaro. He is expected to arrive
at his post In a few days after the,
last American soldier has crossed the
border into the United States.

LAYER Of GOLDEN EGGS
In This Case the Hen Is the
United States Steel
Corporation.

New York, Jan. SO.-All previous
prosperity" records in the history of
the United States Steel corporation
were surpassed today when the direc-
tors declared an extra dividend Of IL
per cent on the common stock, to-
scther with the regular quarterly dis
bursement of IA per cent for the
fourth quarter of 1916 and issued a
statement of earnings for the same
period exceeding by far all similar eX-
hibits Of past years, as well as more
than fulfilling the most optimistic
forecasts.
The earnings for the quarter
amounting to s105. 96S347 brought the
years total earnings to s333,625, os6,
which more than doubled those of
1907, which, showing earnings amount
ing to $160964674. stood as the record
year until the close Of 1916.
The total earnings for the quarter
covered in today's statement compare
with the total of sS5,S17,067 for the
third quarter of 1916, q sum which
then constituted a record. Similarly,
new high figures were established in
net income, $96,321.61O for the fina,
quarter as compared with $40, 202, AUS
during the third period; and a surplus
of $69,251,532 in the final quarter as
against $5l,S59,450 during the third
period
The total 1916 earnings compare
with S140 25D,066 in 1915 and arc larger
by more than $50 per cent than those

PRESSING REVENUE BILL LAY
Administration Measure to
Offset Deficit May Pass
House Today.

Washington, Jan. Gothic admins
tration revenue bill, designed to raise
about $250,ooo,000 by increasing the
inheritance tax and Il new tax on cx-
cess profits and asking authorization
for an additional bend issue Of $780,
100000. was taken up in the house to-
day with Il prospect of passing by to-
morrow night.
Discussion of the measure developed
into an old time tariff debate. The
Republicans accredited the prospective
treasury deficit to Democratic mis-
urged as a substitute for the admins
tration bin as Il measure to raise the
necessary revenue through higher
customs duties.
Democratic leaders replied that the
shortage was due almost entirely to
the Mexican emergency and the I'M
usual preparedness expenditures and
argued that lcvieS on excess profits
and inheritanccs would place the bur
den where it belongs and would be
least felt.
Majority Leader Kitchin has charge
OF the bill ana the Republican attack
was led by Representative Fordcy,
ranking minority member OF the ways
and means committee.

ness" Mr.. kitchin told the Republic
ans, until the people think the .Japs
