Entered at th e poetofflee in Decatur, MEXICAN CRISIS. The senators who discussed the Mexican situation Thursday all pro-: < < edod on the theory that a real crisis had at last been rtsu hed. Senator ! Bacon, who was in a certain sense thel spokesman of the President, said: "I say, here is the president in the face of the gravest emergency which ' has confronted tire congress of the i United States since I have been al member of the senate more grave than that which confronted us when the Cuban question was here —much ! greater. That was a tempest in a tea-1 pot compared to what may be the consequences of our efforts to restore peace and order and maintain it in Mexico, as we will have to do for a generation or two generations.” The attitude of those who favored ! action and investigation was much the I same —all admitted that the situation j was serious. That being the case, it 1 is the duty of those in high place to | deal with it calmly and especially i it it their duty to avoid even the susplcion of being wiling to make political i capital. The president, and his per- 1 tonal representative. Mr. Lind, may: fail in their commendable effort to bring peace to Mexico, and to save this nation from war But they shout.* have their chance, and nothing should be said in congress or in the newspapers that might result in making the task more difficult. The country itself is perfectly calm Newspaper discussion has been conservative. gratifyingly so. The people sire thinking more of the tariff and currency lulls, the crops, and the fall trade than of Mexico- The general situation, therefore, is most favorable for wise and prudent action. It is important that this state of mind I>-.’ 1 reserved. For even if it becomes necessary to take the final step it should be done only alter the most careful consideration, and with a full realization of the consequences. One of those consequences might be permanent occupation—and surely that ought to be enough to sober even the extremest advocate of intervention. On the whole the attitude of the senate is all that could be desired. The prevailing feeling is one of hope that the president's plan may succeed, nrmed intervention being thought of only as the last resort. President Wilson is right in refusing, at the pre; - j ent time, to consider it at all. —Indianapolis News. Governor Sulzer of New York, seems io be tn had, in fact very bad. and it Is not unlikely that the evidence will prove strong enough to force ilia resignation. However it should be re-j membered that he is opposed by a I gang of men who have long control!-I ed the Empire state and who arc will-' ing to go any distance neccesaary io lick an opponent- It is therefore perhaps better that hasty judgement be withheld. The tarriff bill cannot be disposed of i * ...

There was no doubt that lightning had caused the man's death ami the body was ordered taken to the f’oe morgue where it will be kept for identification o LIP READER SHOCKEDConners* tile, Ind.. Aug. 8— Willie Laiuze went to a picture show last night and says lie will never attend another, although he lias always been fond of tlie “movies." The reason for' Willie's resolution is the fact that he ’ ■s deaf and is a "lip reader." Willie, who is 15 years old and has been brought dp carefully, said that in tlie scene, where tlie "leading lady" i appeared surrounded by a crowd oi beautiful girls who were supposed to be planning an assault on a bachelor’s' heart, the actresses used words which he thought women never said. Tc add to Willie's mortification, he said, the “minister" who to every person in the theatre was wrestling with a doctrinal problem to him, was’ ■ swearing a blue streak." The boy says lie frequently has been surprised at the inconsistence of the language of the "movies" hut seldom has beard anything offensive. Willie ' is an expert at “lip reading” and can j carry on a conversation so glibly that I strangers would hardly guess his deafness. —— o— —— COURT HOUSE NEWS.
