NO FOOD OR SHELTR
THERE FOR NEGROES
By C. B. MARSHALL.
' The Contest Manager had a con
versation with two of the contestants
yesterday at different hours. One
was regretting the lack of interest
shown by her friends and complaining
of the fact that she did rot seem to
be getting a good start. The bther
was bubbling oyer with' fhe success
she was having. All of nor friends
had either given her a subscription or
a promise. . ,. v
What was the difference? Both had
the same number of friends and each
was as popular as the other. Here is
the difference: the second young lady
had become enthused and you know
enthusiasm is catching. When she
went into the presence of her friends
they were won over immediately. The'
other started , out in a half-hearted
way and her friends found that they
could put f her off-easily, which they
f course did. ' , -'".

Indiana Town Has Not Had Colored
Resident For Years.
Brownstown, Ind, March 18. By
its action yesterday, when four ne
groes who had come here to work for
a contractor left for their homes in
Kentucy, this place retains its repu
tation as being no place for-a, colored
man. The colored men had been
here for two days and had found it
impossible to. get anything to eat or a
place to sleep. No one 'would furnish
them mealsor . would supply them
with beds. They slept in a shed oh a
vacant .lot vjust outside the town
limits, and all they could get to eat
was what a woman" furnished them
through charity. She refused to take
pay for what she gave them, and'ad
vised them to leave because of the
intolerant spirit of the whites. There
has not been a colored resident here
for thirty years. The people do not
offer violence -they simply refuse to
give food and shelter to colored peo

Washington, March 23. Announc
ing tiat they will not lay down their

peace J are under way, the revolution
ary party of Mexico, through Dr.
Vasquez Gomez, their representative
in Washington, issues a statement
outlining the attitude of the revolu
tionists toward peace overtures and
reforms in the republic. The .state-
. . ..
ment says:
"The revolutionary party, which is
constituted of the be6t nen of the
country, cannot accept as a guarantee
only the promise of a government that
has for more than 30 years been
promising and has never fulfilled a
single one of its promises. -
"The revolutionists think, and with
reason, that immediately following the
laying down of their arms, many of
the leaders would die mysteriously,
no reforms would be granted, and the
oppression wouid be greater ' than.
ever. .
fFor'thls reason the revolutionists
will not accept as a guarantee Mr. Li-
, .....
mantour, or any other individual, be
cause one man cannot and must not
serve as a guarantee for -a political
party fighting for the liberty of a peo
ple, and much less when such- a man
has been, and is, the right hand of
the oppressing government. The re
volutionists do not desire the com
plete elimination of the opposing par
ty, Because every : one knows that it
is necessary to have opposite parties
in a nation,' in -order to maintain poli
tical equilibrium and righteous ad
ministration.
"The revolutionary party must be
represented in the government of the
States, in the Congress and in the ca
binet. It is well known that up to the
present not a single member of the
cabinet or a representative of the peo
ple have ever made the least protest
in regard to the great political abuses,
the uniust imprisonments and the
numberless political assassinations.
"For all these reasons the revolu
tionists will not lay down their arms
until the time when these reforms that
guarantee the lives of the people, the
administration of justice and political
liberty shall be in effect."

TROOPS ARE PREPARED
Washington, March 23. The so-
called Mexican situation has cleared
considerably here. The attitude of
the United States government has
been made plain and there need no
longer be any doubt, it was stated by
administration o facials as to what
policy the President has in view.
Mr. Taft has announced that he
will do everything possible to main
tain the friendly relations that so
long have existed between this coun
try and Mexico. Any rupture of these
relations must come as the result of
some overt act on Mexico soil. The
United States has no desire to inter
fere in the internal affairs of the
southern republic, and President Taft
will not recommend any such inter
ference to Congress unless the cir
cumstances become such. as to per
mit no other possible course.
The American troops' were sent to
Texas and prepared for any emer
gency on the strength of; reports
which indicated that conditions In
Mexico were approaxjhlngsuchjjhaps
as at any time might threaten Am
erican lives and property. '
These reports were of such a "na
ture that President Taft felt he could
not fail to heed them. He acted
quickly and hoped that by acting
quickly the threat of danger would ..
be stayed. He believes that to a
large , extent this has been -accom
plished. He believes that the prer
ence of the army in Texas withiii
striking distance of the Mexican
border, has had a sobering influence
and that Americans and American
property will be respected. . (
So long as American engaged In.
lawful pursuits are not molested and
so long as American . property rights
are protected, ' Mexico need not be
alarmed by the reports of an Ameri
can invasion which have been spread
in various quarters by irresponsible
persons. There will be no move to
ward the Mexican border unless out
rages occurs. Even in the event of
such an outbreak President Taft
would not think of acting without
the consent of Congress.
The President felt that it was his
duty -as Commander in , Chief of the
Army and Navy to prepare for an
emergency, so that If Congress should
be called upon to act its orders could
be carried out with the greatest pos
sible speed. "
How long the troops will remain In
Texas will depend entirely upon de
velopments in Mexico. The United
States government has determined to
give President Diaz every possible
chance to restore order in his repub
lic. President Taft has determined
that this government shall fulfill its
international obligations in stopping
the smuggling of arms asd ammuni
tion across k the border when it is
known that they are to be used for
purposes of war. The enforcement of
the neutrality laws called for tne pres
ence of many additional troops and
was one of the causes for the recent
army movements. Having carried out
its obligations In this respect, the
United States would feel free to act
further if the necessity might arise.
President Taft is hopeful that this
necessity will not arise. But so long
as there is a possibility of danger he
will keep an adequate force near at
hand.

Mount, Was In the city-today.
