Editor Tribune: Your editorial en-

been called to my attention.
do not wish to enter into discus

make a short statement with refer

national committeeman from Florida,
since they have been called into ques-

as to how he should vote on this mat

come up at the meeting, but if / had
been present in person / should have
voted for the resolution. More than
a year ago, after the president flo the
United States had publicly indorsed

In November last the legislature OF

senators in opposing the Anthony

do not know where you obtained
the figures you use in your statement

Christian Temperance Union. the
State Teachers Association, and
other organizations composed largely
or wholly of women, have endorsed
the amendment and I have nowhere
heard of or seen any notice of any op-
position among Florida women. The
end of your sentence from which /

Guiding portion of the sentence is as
follows: as proposed by the national

not proposed by the national wom-

which the national woman's party,
better known as the militant suffra-

A National Union of Women Citizens
At the golden Jubilee of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage As
sociation to be held In St. Louis
March 24-29, there will be projected
one of the greatest enterprises ever
undertaken by the national associa-
ton. This is nothing less than a ma
tional union of women citizens COM
prehensive of the interests of the
women voters of the country as we'll
as the non-voters.
Hitherto the National American
Woman Suffrage Association has
functioned as body of women seek
ing the ballot. With the entrance of
New York into complete voting power
in 1917, with the addition of three
full suffrage states in 1913, and the
granting of presidential suffrage to
the women of three states in 1919
making seven in all where women
have presidential suffrage, the ma
tional realizes that it must look for
ward to rapidly increasing force OF
women who are using not seeking the
ballot. A reconstructed organization
is therefore demanded by the present
strength of the voting women of the
United States.
The creation of a national union OF
women voters is to mark an epoch in
the cause of political freedom. 1t is
to point the way to the uses women
viii make of that freedom after they
are enfranchised.
The name and the plan OF work are
to be presented for discussion and
acceptance at the convention In st.
Louis. One of the working plans sug-
gested is that of two houses. one to be
made up of representatives from the
voting states, and the other to be
made up of representatives from the
|non-voting states. A suggestion COMES
that the former might be known as
the house of voters, the latter as the
house of delegates.
Fifty years ago in January the Am
erican Equal Rights Association was
found to be too loosely strung to hold
the seething demands of the women
of the country who had been newly
awakened to their need of the ballot
by the events following the civil war.
History has repeated itself. In 1913
women of the country have renewed
impetus to work for the enfranchise-
ment of all women because of the
events in the great war.

suffrage convention in America In

A Combination Of Government

with five more selected by the en-
ployes; equal division of any sur
plus left after paying fixed charges
and operating costs, between the pub
lie and the employees; an automatic
reduction Of rates when the employees

periences have demonstrated. The
Mexican Government today is spend
ing two thirds of it's national income
on the pursuit and punishment of
bandits. 1t has an army of over
so, 900 men engaged in this work
and troops are ever on the heels of
these bands. The whole business is
in process of being wound UP at this
time. Zapata and many other ban
dts chiefs have been tracked to their
lairs and killed. Other small bands
are breaking up. The Mexican gov
ernment today is making showing
in this tremendous task of pafica-
ton which compares favorably with
the effort of any government which
has ever been confronted with con-
ditions at all similar.
Mexico has never repudiated any
of her international obligations anc
will meet every debt which is due.
She has the resources to discharge
every obligation without making any
serious drain on her national wealth
and as fast as these assets become
available with the revival of industry
she will meet her obligations. Ir
the oil regions there has not been
one instance of confiscation, nor art
the companies paying royalties. In
1918 they produced 64,Oco, coo bar
rels of oil out of a potentia capacity
of their wells of over $50 million
barrels. Their own published bal
ance sheets show their prosperity
and profits.
The very intense press propaganda
of these days, when the principal
bandits are being killed, captured, or
are surrendering to the Government
forces or disbanding, and when the
pacification of the country is in
sight, is interpreted in my country
as the last effort of expatriates,
members of the old regime of Mexico
and their powerful confederates and
politicians in Europe and this coun-
try, to precipitate armed interven
tion; as they feel, that when tn
complete pacification, the rehabilita-
tion Of the industries now in sus-
pense, the intcnsifica,ion Oh cc-mer
cial relations and the generaA d.
velopment of the wonderful resource
! of the country are accomplished
facts their dream of the return OF
an obsolete despotic system of gov
ernment, and the embodiment Of Of
two nations in armed conflict, will
be a thing of the past"

A MESSAGE ON MEXICO TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
FROM HON. IGNACIO BONILLAS, THE AMBAS-
SADOR FROM MEXICO TO THE UNITED
STATE
CITES AMERICAN EXPERIENCES

"Mexico today has stable govern
gentleman has held down a fine
tricts in which few bandits are at
large. Mexico is in the aftermath
of civil war and the conditions in
these few areas are such as have fol-
owed such struggles in all lands.
In your own south it was many
years after Appomatox before con-
ditions were restored to normal and
your central government was occu-
pied long time in the work of paci-
fication, in few of the more re-
mote districts. Yet because the
James boys, the Apache Kid, Geroni-
mo and other bandits in the south
people he mentioned over there, are
ter the Civil war, no one would have
urged that the American government
was unstable. T"
"In addition to the after effects of
the civil strife there are parts of
Mexico in which conditions today are
much alike they were in your own
West not so many years ago. Your
army was kept busy for two gener-
ations by the Indians and bandits of
the West. Within my own memory
the border districts of Mexico were
raided almost constantly by Indians
escaping from reservations on your
own side of the border. Coopera-
ton of the two governments (Treaty
of 1892 in the matter of pursuit of
bandits and cattle thieves
across the International line resulted
in the suppression of most of those
disorders in the early eighties, cul-
minating in the capture of the
Apache Geronimo and his band of
Chiricahua Indians by the forces of
General Miles in 1886.
We are now trying to arrange for
renewal of the former system.
Foreigners in Mexico today are ac-
corded every protection. In the few
disturbed areas they are occasional
ly made the victims of bandits but
in every case the government is de-
voting the utmost energy to the pur-
suit and punishment of thecriminals
In such areas the foreigner under
goes a risk that he assumes when he
enters such an area and his peril
is no greater than the danger to
Mexicans.

settled country country OF noun

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Funda
mental national principles of the
Argentine government will prevent
any overwhelming swarm of German
emigration to that country, accord
ing to DIR. Romulo S. Naon, Argen-
tine minister to the United States.
Naon's opinion was set forth in an
interview with the New York cor
respondent of "La. Prensa," of
Buenos Aires, just before the South
American diplomat sailed for home.
81 place little credence in the re-
port that the German government
will encourage emigration and settle
ment in Argentine of some five
million Germans" said Naon. "The
policy of Germany in the matter OF
emigration was always opposed to
propaganda aiming at encouraging
nationals to leave the country and
settle aboard. l don't think such a
policy will be modified in moments
like the present. Today, more
than ever before, Germany needs
the cooperation and the assistance
of all her children for the recon-
struction of her economic and flnan-
cial capacity.
"But even admitting that the Ger
man government or private German
corporations cherish such plan, l
think its execution is equally I'M
possible, because fundamental rea-
sons of national Argentine policy are
opposed to it. Argentina cannot
admit colonizations favored by
foreign governments because this
would be highly detrimental to the
formation of national sentiment
which needs to be fomented- eenA"'s

JOE MCDONALD is
HERE CALLED BY
MURDER OF UNCLE
A Suspect In Jail But
Thought To Be LOCO"
And Not Implicated.

Yesterday Mr.. Joseph Mcdonald,
of Los Angeles arrived on the delay
ed train, summoned by the murder
of his uncle, the late Mike Doyle.
Arrangements for the funeral have
been held until arrival of Mr.. Nc
Donald. Announcement of the
obsequies will be made this morn
ing.
Mr.. Mcdonald is known we'll in

plo ficient. After several years ne

here, which he accepted, and filed
,reditably number of years. Then
the Los Angeles post office drew
him from Phohim from Phoenix, and
the gentleman has held down fine
post in that great office nearly II
not quite decade.
In this connection it may be men
toned that there has been ap-
pretended and lodged in Jail sus-
nect named Arnoldo Suarez, Of whom
mentioned was made in these
columns as being implicated in the
murder of Mr.. Doyle, and held for
investigation. The man has adj
mitted the murder, but his answers
to questions shake the faith Of many
in his sanity; and it is believed by
such persons that he makes admls-
sions and statements through auto
snopestion, while in fact he knows
nothing of the murder or who COM
mitted it.
In support of that theory it is
stated that in answer to questions
with which he was piled Suarez SAID
that the revolver with which he had
fired the fatal shot he had left with
a woman in a tent on the Sonora
side of the line. Investigation yes
