OFFICIALS SAY NO CHANGE IS
 MADE IN MEXICAN SITUATION
 BY RELEASE OF VIM. JENKINS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 6.-(P)-Altho Con- sar Agent Jenkins has been released from custody the American government has not changed its attitude ill the case in the slightest degree. Immediately following the release of Jenkins it rumored that the state de- partmen had unoffcally instructed the American en- bassy at Mexico to provide bail for the imprisoned but this rumor srenuously denied today by ary Robert Lansing who declared that the government did not order nor desire the release of Jenkins under such condition.
 It is the opinion of many, who are high i'll official crces that the release of Jenkins under bonds does not affect the probability of diplomatic break with southern neighbor. The government demanded the conditional release of the imprisoned American and |Carranza has not yet fit to reply.
 It is reported that the bond of five hundred dollars which gave Jenkins his freedom furnished by J. w. Iansen who is alleged to be an agent of Carranza s military finance department It is the opinion of that the bail furnished by Carranza with hope that he would dupe the American government into abandon ing its efforts in behalf of Jenkins and that it the nte ton of the Mexican authorities to later place the suar agent trial.

Up TO the Taxpayers

Factionalism has not only
broken down, but it has nearly
broken the taxpayers. Missis-
sippi is confronted with the
most serious problem since
Ames and his minions were
driven out. Upon the taxpayers,
who are the voters, rests the
responsibility for the solution of
the problem.
If we are to have clean, able,
honest, constructive action for
the public benefit, it must come
from the people themselves
when they occupy the voting
booths at the August primary.
If it does not come, the verdict
rendered by themselves, will be
against the taxpayers.
If sound judgment is shown in
the nomination of a governor
and legislature, Mississippi
will be put on the high road of
Iaudable endeavor, and again
shine in the galaxy of states.
The solution is therefore, crucial
