"President Will Be supported in His
Effort to Pring About Peace in the
Southern Republic By All Senators
(and Representatives.
i Washington. ? 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.

m
f Date of Passage of Tariff Far Off.
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.

the temperance movement in the British

We are in receipt of a letter fron

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.
