End Of the World War Opens Up
Great Reservoirs Of Natural
Wealth lin the Valley Of the
Amazon River.

PARA, Brazil. Aug. 1.-THE end
Ing OF the World War has given a
new impetus to the work of opening
up the great reservoirs OF natural
able woods, which lie in the valley OF
the Amazon. Several expeditions of
exploration are being organized
here. one OF the most important OF
which is under the direction OF Henry
y. Fleming OF New York, United
States Customs Receiver at Para,
who will shortly start on three
months trip devoted to exploring the
commercial possibilities OF the vast
region watered by the Amazon and
It's maze of tributaries.
The advance guard OF another i'm
portant expedition of scientists. head
ed by DR.. Hamilton Rice Of Boston
and his wife, has passed thru here on
It's way to Manaos which will be
headquarters OF the venture. A spe-
cially equipped 45-foot motor launch
will accommodate the party which
plans to navigate the Rio Negro to
its junction with the Orinoco in Ven
ezuela.
General Rondon, the well-known
Brazilian explorer who accom- panied
Colonel Roosevelt on his famous trip
down the River of Doubt. now named
the Rio Teodoro by the Brazilian
government in honor of the former
American president, has returned
here after spending almost two years
in surveying the wilds of the state
of Matto Crosse on the borders of
Bolivia. The territory explored by
him lies to the southwest of the Par
ecis Range. northeast of which lies
the Rio Teodoro. General Dondon re-
ported the discovery of three new
mountains and several new rivers. He
also reported finding much evidence
of rubber, caoutchoucipecac, cacao
and other valuable forest products
and said that he traversed large ar
cas- of gold-bearing country, especi-
ally in the region of the head waters
of the Sac Miguel river.

WILSON lN Ioao?

Henry Watterson, editor emeritus
OF the Louisville Courier-Journal, one
OF the nations leading Democrats,
who Il spending the winter at Miami,
Fla, gave the following interview to
correspondent OF the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. The correspondent
put to him the direct question: WIN
woodrow Wilson be the Democratic
candidate for president IN l020f"
"If Mr.. Wilson wants the nomina-
ton he can have IT, because the party
machinery Is wholly In his hands and
there is no one OF national character
and standing to oppose him. was the
reply.
1.-TWO pictures have just reached
me from the other side which VIII
make excellent campaign material for
the Republicans. one OF these rep
rescnts Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson stand
ing, will not say Sinking, with
King George and Queen Mary before
the camera. The other depicts Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson driving proudly
down the COrso In Rome with King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena.
For one, don't like IT, 1t offends
not only my plain American sense or
republican simplicity, but when may
call a sense Of national propriety
There can be no such thing as equal
ity betwe citizen and sovereign,
and now that the president begins TO
think. feel and act like a sovereign,
be IL out OF character and out or
place In these vain glorious exploita-
tons. lie has shown himself at
times a man of very unequal, even OF
uniirm, judgment. With such handi-
caps to carry, along with the third
term issue, do not believe that II he
agrees to offer himself In 1920 he Will
carry state outside the BOlshevist
Of the South"
Suppose you are mistaken, and
he runs and is elected?"
I'm that event goodby to the re-
publicanism OF Washington, Jackson
and Lincoln, and all hail the auto
cracies Of Bolivar, Rosa and Diaz.
North America is next door to South
America, you know. But If he runs
gain, he will not be elected The Re
publicans will have an easy thing, an
easier thing than they had last year
But, we shall see what we shall see"

FRENCH PREMIER
ASSASSIN'S MARK
Fire Shots at cIemenceau This
Morning.
WOUNDS ARE NOT SERIOUS
Was Able 10 Walk Home--Shots In
Back and Shoulder-Russian
Bolsheviki Responsible.
tA..oc,ated Press,

Paris, Feb 19.-Georges Clemen-
ccau, Frances aged but vigorous
premier was shot and slightly wound
ed this morning, az he entered his
automobile. Five shots were fired by
an assassin. IL was first reported
that the premier WAS wounded In the
head but II developed later that the
wounds are In the premicr's back
and shoulder. II Is announced Off
cially that he Is not seriously wound
ed and was able to walk TO his home.
The shooting took place at SOB as
the premier was leaving home in Rue
Franklin for the war office. The
assassin, an ordinary looking man,
dressed as a workman, who was ar
rested, is named Emile Coffin, aged
25, said to have been born in Creil
and living in the Montrouse quarter
of Paris. The police do not believe
the papers he possessed, but think
him Russian Bolsheviki.
One witness, Henry Moulin, told
the Associated Press that when he
heard the first shot he believed it
Americans celebrating. Moulin rush
ed out Of his shop and seized the pre-
mier's assailant who threw away a
revolver and held up his hands. Wait
ers from nearby restaurants helped
to hold the man. He was beaten by
the crowd. Policeman Goursat who
was wounded in the right eye, not
seriously, said Clemenceau rushed to
the assassin and grappled with him.

MORE BOND ISSUES COMING

Before the war the public debt of
the United States was less than a
billion dollars. Now the interest on
the public debt is billion dollars
and in the 6 billion dollar revenue
bill agreed on this week Congress h1s
provided for raising | billion dollars
for interest alone Before all accounts
are In the interest will be near ?
billion dollars. Yet we were in the
war but 10 months Let those In
this country who wish to mortgage
the labor of the American people to
continue the war game, ponder these
facts.
Altho this is the biggest tax bill
in history, 1t now is conceded by
Democratic and Republican leaders
An Congress that the levies are too
low. The Government will cost the
people IS billion dollars this fiscal
year, and 10 billion in 1920, Not
outstanding this tax bill will take
an average of $50 this year and $40
next year from everyone of the Ma
tons 1903 millions Of people, 1t will
raise only one-third of the amount
required for the tax spending year
ending June 80, 1910, and only 10
per cent Of expenditures for the tax
spending year ending June 80, 1920.
Where is the rest of the money
coming from? There is only one way
TO get it--bonds. Therefore, unless
the tax spending can be brought to
the limits of tax paying, there will
be bond issues not only In 1919,
but in 1920. With the war over,
why must this country continue to
spend ~ billions n month for the
next II months? Have we become
financially bug house" -Cappcr's

People Have Made This Test.

Years ago this Abilene citizen
told in public statement, the bene-
fit derived from Doan's Kidne Pills
The statement is now confirmed

like this are numerous. They doub-

demand more convincing proof? It's

A frantic appeal has been made by
some Kansas preachers to Gov. Allen
to have the president appoint a com
mission to inspect all the Turkish
harems and see If any girls are de-
tanned there unwillingly. OF course
Il is possible that the ministers ex-
pect to be appointed but that would
be unwise. They are not fitted to
make a judicial and complete inves-
tIgation of this kind. 1t seems to us
that DR. Il. l.. Garrett Of this city
should have n place on this commits

never been recognized and would

 Even before the news came that re- strictons had been placed on Argentine exports the corn market here had an up- ward slant, owing to unsettled weather l likely to hinder the domestic crop move
 ment and to increase the feeding de-
 mands. Sentiment became a great deal
 more bullish, however, after traders were
 aware of the action of the Argentine au- thorities by restraining exports. The stimulating effect was further empha- sized by announcement that all restraints l on exportation on coarse grain from the United States had been taken off. Eastern shorts were especially active buyers and
