ASHURST FLAYS ADMINISTRATION
 AS EDWARDS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

While 1t had been reported in press dispatches that Senator Henry F. Ashurst had viciously attacked the ad- ministration for its inaction during the border troubles for the past five years, confirmation of his attitude has been withheld until it was officially given from Washington, and from the Congressional Record" of December B which has been received in this city any doubt, over what the democratic senator from Arizona has openly pro- claimed, is indisputable.
 Here is the official report of the proceedings in the senate covering that feature of the Mexican situation which Senator Ashurst so courage ously fathered:
 MT. Ashurst. Mir. President, 1 offer a concurrent resolution and ask that it be read at the desk"
 The Presiding Officer. The secre- tary will read the resolution"
 Resolved by the Senate (the
 House of Representative concur
 ring), That the secretary of war
 be, and he is hereby authorized
 and directed to employ the mili-
 tary forces of the United States
 in protecting. the lives of Amer
 ican citizens in the United States
 but whose safety, nevertheless, is
 imperiled by the threats and ob-
 viously hostile attitude toward
 citizens of the United States on
 the part of the armed Mexican
 bandits, murderous outlaws, and
 the various beligerent factions
 now assembling in Mexico adja-
 cent to the international boundary
 line separating the United States
 and the Republic of Mexico.
 MT. Ashurst: When my colleague and 1 entered the senate on April 2, 1912, one of the first official acts was to urge that sufficient number of troops be kept on the border to pro tect American citizens, and we have never ceased our activity in that re- gard. It seems beyond the do- main of possibility to impress the war department that American citi- zens have been and are now in peril from raids of outlaws and murderous bandits. It has become tire some for us to visit the war depart ment and to be told that same old story that the request will have con- sideration, and then see the officials of the war department motor out to play golf or tennis instead of consid- ering these questions. * It is a regret for me to say this, because these men belong to my own party, but the truth can no longer be with held"
 No man in America can rise
 and expect to have an audience
 of intelligent people agree with
 him when he says the depart
 ments have made a creditable
 record in handling the Mexican
 situation. All people except
 babes in the cradle know that we
 have been weak, vacillating, neg
 hgent and cOwardly in regard to
 our duty toward Mexico, and I
 FOR ONE SENATOR WILL STAND IT NO LONGER"

When Bear Cat Went Dry.

The efforts of the producers of mo-
ton pictures to create entertainment
for the millions of people who patron
ize the picture houses has become a
serious problem. By reason of the
great number of pictures that have
already been made it is difficult
matter to find subjects that are not
hackneyed or worn out. When a pic
ture does come along that is novel it
immediately jumps into popularity.
This is the experience of "When Bear
cat Went Dry" the six reel super
feature that comes to the Kenworthy
Theatre on Thursday. The author has
gone to the mountains of eastern Ken
lucky to get his characters. He has
made use of the primitive mode of liv-
ing to give the picture the background
of, simplicity that since time began
has furnished the big drama of the
world. The fights, feuds, and love
romances of these people have been
cleverly intermingled to create a pic
ture drama that holds the attention of
an audience like the grip of a wise.
This picture has a half dozen fights
that are no child affairs, but are the
tests of strength and endurance be-
tween athletes
