Tension over the Mexican situation was apparent in official circles. ' President Wilson and Secretary teryan in early conference discussed the message from Manuel Garza Adalpe, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, stating formally, in behalf of President Huerta, that unless John Lind, personal representative of President Wilson, en route to the Mexican Capital, bore credientals recognizing the Huerta Government, his presence In Mexico would be undesirable. Later the American Embassy at Mexico City, through Nelson O'Shaughnessy, Charge D'Affairs, was instructed to explain to the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs that the information on which his statement must have been based could not have come from the State Department here as no dal declaration of Mr. Lind's purposes in visiting Mexico has been made. Mr. Bryan also issue the following statement: * "The statement of the Mexican Foreign Office was based on misreproseatations for which this Government is not responsible. In sending Governor Lind as adviser to the Embassy, the President Is entirely within his eights, and this Department will net assume that his going will be regarded as unfriendly when the character of his mission is understood." Most of the Republicans as wen as Democrats of the two congressional Committees on Foreign Relations have indicated that they will support the efforts of President Wilson to bring about peace in Mexico. A great many Senators, however, are in ^avor of lifting the embargo on arms. May Increase Federal Deposits. Washington. ?

Washington.?Ten days ago when a member of the Finance Committee said he thought the Senate would pass the tariff bill by August 20, there were some who thought it might be possible but that date i3 less than two weeks away and but four schedules have been considered, 36 paragraphs in these having been passed over for future consideration. Now even those who suggested September 15 as the date for the final action are guided bv hones and do not scorn the views " ?-? 1 of others that it will be a later date. \Senator Johnson Passed Away. Washington.?Senator Joseph F. Johnson, of Birmingham, Ala., died at has apartment here. Senator Johnston had been in poor health and had not attended sessions of the senate for a week. He had been confined to his apartment most of the time but his trouble was not diagnosed as pneumonia until a few. days ago. Although the senator's son, Forney* Johnston, had been summoned from Birmingham it was believed that the senator was not in any immediate danger. Remarkable Spread of Temperance.

I - Admits That Prohibition Does ! i Not Prohibit?Members of j House From Dry Counties J ! Stand Neutral. > ; ttVrtTinTA T AW VATT.TTUT! I VJf JUVMVI AU. JJAA IV * ***** w 1 1 In one or two of the County papers 3 within the past two weeks has been printed an article under the head, e "44 What prohibition has done in Kan? sas," publiched in an effort to show . that the Dispensary is not for the best 1 interests of Lexington County, but in 3 the article itself is its weakness. Mr. - Dawson who is quoted in the article 1 says: "The only solution of the liquor * problem is its total suppression" and 3 he say8 further, "Does prohibition > prohibit? Of course not" Four years ago, 44 counties in the 7 State vcted on this question and of 5 this nnmber only 6 counties voted for I the Dispensary. Since then we have * had two sessions of the Legislature 3 and at neither of them has there been 1 put through a State-wide prohibition 3 bill. Why? If the representatives of me 6b counties naa Denevea tnat * State-wide prohibition was for the best I interests of the State, could they not 5 have run a bill in over the represenfcap tives of the 6 counties who had Dis" pensaries? If the people in the 38 "dry" counties had believed that State wide prohibition was for the best in1 terests of the State would they not f have sent senators and representaf tives who held the same views? We 3 are left with but one of two explana tions. Eighty-five per cent of the members of both Houses have not 3 kept their faith with the people, or, - the people have tried prohibition, found 5 it wanting, and have sent representa* tiyes who held toe same views. Which 3 is the most probable? 1 Prohibiten may have worked won3 ders in Kansas. That is a long ways * off and distance may lend enchant" ment. What about an article on 3 "What Prohibition done in Georgia" - A great many Lexington County peo* pie have been in Georgia since prohi? bition laws have been on its books. * They can tell you about the open bar" rooms and brewery in Augusta, the clubs and restaurants in Macon, the 1 barrooms and worse dives in Savannah; and in Columbus the barrooms and waterfront dens that under license were not allowed, and the same 7 story comes from every city and town s in the*state. What is their excuse? 5 They say with Dispensary states on . two sides and a license state on one 7 side they cannot control the traffic. . How much worse is it with a single l "dry" county, like Lexington sand 3 wiched in between two Dispensary . counties. If a whole State like Georgia 3 acknowledges its inability to cope with 1 the situation and compromises with a 1 system of fines at stated intervals that virtually amounts to license, on what is there to base a claim that prohibition is the best thing and can be enforced in a county like Lexington, deeply in debt, with no money to pay its current ' expenses, and certainly none to fight and control the traffic in intoxicants ' within its borders. | N.
