FIGHT ON OWN SOIL

CONFLICT MUST BE CONFINEDTO MEXICAN TERRITORY.

SAFEGUARDING AMERICAN LIFE

President Notifies Authorities thatWar Must Not Get Over the Rio

Grande.

Washington. President Taft is de-

termined that battles between Mexi-can federalists and insurrectos shallnot be fought on American soil. Heis equally determined that the livesof American ts shallnot be endangered by the forces ofPresident Diaz and those of GeneralMadero. Future combats between therebels and the forces of the Mexicangovernment must not be fought outso close to the American line as toput in jeopardy the lives and proper-ty of Americans.

Through the state department thepresident notified the Mexican gov-

ernment that it must see to it in thefuture that no such unfortunate inci-

dent as that of Thursday at AguaPrieta. near Douglas. Ariz., when twoAmericans were killed and elevenwounded, be allowed to occur.Through the war department andthrough the department of justice thepresident sent the same sort of warn-

ing to the leader of the insurrectosat Agua Prieta.

The view was expressed at theWhite House that these warnings willbe obeyed to the letter and that nomore battles will be fought in thevicinity of the boundary.

Neither the president nor any of hisadvisers whom he called into consul-tation, was inclined to regard the in-

cident at Agua Prieta as a forerunnerof anything more serious, but they didconclude that it must not be repealed.

President Taft feels that his ordersending the troops to Texas has beenentirely justified by the developmentsof the last few days. He is more cer-

tain than ever that conditions in thesouthern republic are. to say the least,alarming. He is hoping that therewill be no need for any further move-

ment to the south, but if there shouldbe he knows that 20.000 Americantroops are near the Rio Grande andthat on that river and the Mexicanborder itself "is already a force that isnot insignificant.

An attack on Juarez, just across theborder from EI Paso, seems impend-ing, and consequently, the commanderoi the Department of Texas is chargedwith the responsibility of seeing thatthe city of El Paso is not endangered.In California the city of Calexico facesthe Mexican town of Mexicali, in thevicinity of which considerable fightinghas occurred recently.

The war department received a re-

port from the commander of the De-

partment of Colorado. It said theAmerican forces offered no interfer-ence in the battle, but one UnitedStates officer, upon request of the fed-

erals, crossed the line and endeavoredto induce the remainder of the fede-

rals to cease a useless fight.

cago.

MADERO'S ARMY ON THE MOVE.

Casas Grandes to Be Invaded by theChihuahua Insurgents.

port that Madero's army i.s movingon Casas Grandes. The army ar-

rived in Madera Saturday night, andis expected in Casas Grandes Tues-

day or Thursday. It is believed theinsurrecto forces are marching over-

land upon the city they once triedto take.

author of civil war and southernstories, died Friday of a complicationof diseases at the home of his son inthis city.

Rule to Stop "Fake Speeches."Washington Representative Clark

of Florida, during debate Friday serv-

ed notice on his colleagues that therewould be no more "extension of re-

marks" or "lcae to print" undeliver-ed speeches in the CongressionalRecord, a popular outlet when debateis limited, during the sixty-secon- d con-

gress. It is understood that a rulewill soon be devised to govern thewholesale printing of speerhes in theofficial daily publication. The senateallows no speeches to be publ'eiiedthat have not been delivered.

Ambassador Hill Resigns.Washington. David Jayne Hill of

Rochester. N. Y.. ambassador of theUnited States to Germany, has re-

signed his post. The resignation hasbeen accepted by President Taft.Neither in Mr. Hill's letter of resig-nation nor in the president's letterof acceptance is any reason given forthe ambassador's action. The presi-

dent thanks Mr. Hill for his servicesat Berlin and says that he is glad toknow that he will remain there untilJuly 1. when the resignation goesinto effect.

IS H 10 STAY

Control and Publicity for PublicService Corporations.

IERDICT OF PROMINENT MAN

"Theodore N. Vail, President of Westrn Union and Telephone Compa-nies, Recognizes Rights ef the

American Public.

Public regulation of public servicecorporations has come to stay. It--night to have come and it ought tostay. That is the flat and unequivocalassertion of Theodore N. Vail, presi-fe- nt

of both the American Telephoneand Telegraph company and the West-ern Union Telegraph company. Itcame in the form of his annual re-port to the seventy thousand stock-holders of the two great corporations.Although Mr. Tail's advocacy of fullpublicity in connection with the affairsof such concerns was well understood,nobody in financial circles had antici-pated so frank an avowal of full pub-lic rights in the shaping of their gen-eral conduct. It came consequently asa surprise, not only because of itsnovelty and squareness, but also onaccount of the unqualified acquies-cence of a board of directors compris-ing such eminent and conservativefinanciers as Robert Winson, of Kid-

der. Peabody & Co.. and Henry L.Higginson of Boston, Henry p. Davi-son of J. P. Morgan & Co.; SenatorV. Murray Crane. George F. Haer.

T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., Norman W.Harris. John I. Waterbury and others.

President Yall's declaration is her-alded as the first recognition by thosein high corporate authority of the jus-tice of the demand that the publicbe regarded as virtual partnersin all matters that pertain to the com-

mon welfare. He goes directly to thepoint.

"Public control or regulation of pub-H- e

service corporations by permanentcommissions." he says, "has come andcome to stay. Control or regulation,to be effective, means publicity:it means semi-publi- c discussion andconsideration before action; it meanseverything which Is the oppo-site of and Inconsistent with effectivecompetition. Competition aggressive,effective competition means strife.Industrial warfare; it means conten-tion: it oftentimes means taking ad-vantage of or resorting to any meansthat the conscience of the contestantsor the degree of the enforcement ofthe laws will permit.

"Aggressive competition means du-plication of plant and investment. Theultimate object of such competitionIs the possession of the field whollyor partially: therefore it means eith-er ultimate combination on suchbasis and with such prices as willcover past losses, or it means loss ofreturn on investment, and eventualloss of capital. However it results,all costs of aggressive, uncontrolled"ompetition are eventually borne.directly or indirectly, by the public.Competition which is not aggressive,oresupposes action, understandings, agreements, which resultIn general uniformity or harmony ofaction, which, in fact, is not competi-tion but is combination, unstable, butfor the time effective. When thor-oughly understood it will be foundthat 'control will give more of thebenefits and public advantages, whichare expected to be obtained throughsuch ownership, and will obtainthem without the public burden ofeither the public office-holde- r or pub-lic debt or operating deficit

"When through a wise and judiciousstate control and regulation all theadvantages without any of the disad-vantages of state ownership are se-cured, state ownership is doomed."

"If Mr. Vail is right." saysHarper's Weekly, in a concise summ-

ing-up, "then it seems pretty- - plainthat we are entered upon a new era inboth economics and politics. And it ishigh time we did if evolution i.s tosupplant revolution as an efficientforce in the development of civilfca-- j

Fighting Man. I

It Is man's nature to fight. It is his i

merit to fight for what he believes tobe right. Courage and bravery arenot achieved by hiring a lawyer. Aman who is not willing to fight to thedeath for the right or for his own Isnot as good or complete a man as onewho is is willing. But opinions about ,

this are not so important as the factthat it is man's nature to fight, and (

that neither resolr ' nor legislationnor provision to get over all kinds oftrouble in any other way than fightingwill avail. Ellwood Hendricks, in At-

lantic.

1 TJPFfPHHrVjlWSPreparing for New Warden.

Governor Aldrich has not indicatedthat he has ever heard of the Placekresolution passed by the state senatedemanding that he appoint a wardenof the penitentiary, but every prepara-tion is being made at the penitentiaryfor a new warden. It is said be willcarry out his original intention of ap-

pointing Mr. Delahunty. former dep-uty warden, as soon as the senate ad-

journs. The new warden is expectedto take possession of the penitentiaryat once.

Warden Tom Smith is still incharge and the affairs of the institu-tion are apparently as smoothly con-

ducted as ever. Ernest M. Fairfieldof the state land commissioner's officehas been delegated by the state boardto invoice the property at the prison.S. M. Carlin. steward of the prison, isworking with Mr. Fairtteld as a representative of Warden Smith, who is toturn over the property of the state tohis successor. The financial accountsof Warden Smith were checked overlast week by a state accountant, andit was found that the state owed Mr.Smith SS2.S9. The warden received avoucher for the amount and the stateis now square with him.

Grandstand for the Fair.The senate In committee of the

whole, voted to appropriate $100,000for a steel grandstand at the statefair grounds. The senate committeeon finance recommended the itemafter the house bad killed a separateappropriation bill for the same pur-pose. Placek of Saunders opposed theitem and said he was willing to givemillions for education, but not onecent for horse racing. Oilis of Valleychairman of the finance committee,made a strong speech in favor of theappropriation and was assisted byBanning of Cass in his efforts to con-vince the senate that money spent forthat puriwse would be productive ofTreat revenues to the state fair andwould assist that organization in tak-ing its place at the top of the list ofstate fairs and in advertising Nebras-ka throughout the country as the lead-ing agricultural and stock-growin- g

state. It was shown that the statefair has lived upon its own resources,never having received from the statemore than $118,000, while other west-ern states are liberally aiding statefairs in the building of necessarybnildings. Placek's motion not to con-

cur in the amendment of the senatecommittee was defeated by a vote ofnineteen to nine.

Wants Data on Summer Tilling.The experiments conducted on the

Experimental Substation at NorthPlatte during the last seven years, andreported in Bulletin 11$. indicate thatthe growing of winter wheat on sum-mer tilled land is profitable. Thismethod promises so much that it willhelp greatly to solve the question ofprofitable crop production in westernNebraska. In order to collect the re-

sults of their experience and givethese results to all who are summertilling or may summer till this season,it is desired to secure the names ofall the farmers in central and .westernNebraska who have summer tilled forwinter wheat or for other crops. Let-ters from men who have summertilled, giving their method, cropsraised, yield, etc.. and also the namesof men who have summer tilled orcontemplate summer tilling will bevery much appreciated. Anyone in-

terested may write to W. P. Snyder.Superintendent Experimental Substa-tion. North Platte, Neb.

Died Slowly and by Degrees.Like the "old cat." the legislature

died slowly and by degrees. The lasttwist of the ropes unwound Mondayafterno m. the senate adjourning Binedi at 2 and the Iioiisp at Sr4fi. Itwag wth sa(lnPSS and ye't wJth (lcas.ure that the small group of senatorsand representatives heard the last rapt)r he gavel announcing the close of amemorable legislative body.

It was with more than sadness thatGovernor Aldrich looked upon theheap of bills placed upon his desk' forapproval or veto. He pulled off hiscoat and went to work, but said hewould not announce anything for aday or two. A portion of his time wastaken -- rp with hearings on protests orrequests to sign bills. His office waslined with callers waiting patiently totell him what to do.

North Platte Will Probably Get It.It is expected that the hospital for

indigent sufferers from tuberculosis,for which an appropriation of $40,000has been made, will be located atNorth Platte.

A bill to restore the army canteenhas been introduced by Representa-tive Bartholdt of Missouri.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw PawPills will be sent free to anyone on re-quest. Address Professor Munyon, 53d AJefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you arein need of medical advice, do not fail towrite Profosor Munyon. Your communi-cation will be treated in strict confidence,and your case will be diagnosed as care-fully as though you bad a personal inter-view.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlikeall other laxatives or cathartics. Theycoax the liver into activity by gentlemethods. They do r.ot scour, they donot gripe, they do not weaken, but theydo start all the secretions of the liverand stomach in a way that soon putsthese organs in a healthy condition andcorrects constipation. In my opinionconstipation is responsible for most ail-

ments. There are 26 feet of humasbowels, which is really a sewer pipe.When this pipe becomes clogged thewhole system becomes poisoned, caus-ing biliousness, indigestion and impureblood, which often produce rheumatismand kidney ailments. No woman whosuffers with constipation or any liverailment can expect to have a clearcomplexion or enjoy good health. IfI had my way I would prohibit the saleof nine-tenth- s of the cathartics that arenow being sold for the reason that theysoon destroy the lining of the stomach,setting up serious forms of indigestion,and so paralyse the bowels that they re-

fuse to act unless forced by strongpurgatives.

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonieto the stomach, liver and nerves. Theyinvigorate instead of weaken; they en-

rich the blood Instead of Impoverishit; they enable the stomach to get allthe nourishment from food that is putinto it.

These pills contain no calomel, nodope; they are soothing, healing andstimulating. They school the bowelsto act without physic.
