COMMITTEE WOULD
DISREGARD VETO
Associated Press.
Austin, Tex., March 7. —The house
gommittee on liquor traffic held a
meeting last night and six members
of the committee prepared a favor
able report on the daylight bill and
an attempt will be made this evening
or tomorrow to pass the bill over the
governor’s veto.
Representative Bagby served notice
this morning that he would object to
the report of the committee, because
it was making a report on the gov
ernor’s veto message and not on the
bill. Mr. Bagby’s remarks were ruled
out of order, as the bill is not now
before the legislature.
The house recessed until 3 o’clock.
The Texarkana new charter bill, by
motion of Representative Hill, was
set for 10 o'clock tomorrow. The bill
does not contain the initiative, ref
erendum and recall features.
The house referred the senate con
current resolution providing for a
commission to be appointed to inves
tigate wharf and terminal facilities
of Texas ports to the committee on
appropriations after its second read
ing.

HTESDAY,
“U. S. Fought Once to Abolish Slavery;
Will It Fight Now to Maintain It?”
Of all the Americans who are
fighting across the Maxican border to
help /ree that country from Diaz des
potism, Simon Berthold, socialist,
stanas forth the most prominent.
With a handful of adventurers, poor
ly armed, he evaded the border
guards, slipped Into Mexicali one
night and captured the town. Now
Berthold says he will capture Lower
California. Recently he again slipped
past the border guards and came to
Los Angeles. Cal. While there he
wrote the following article on the
revolution espcclaly for the Light.
By Sinton Berthold.
I joined the Mexican revolution be
cause I wanted to do my little part
toward helping the world grow bet
ter. While I am an American clUsen.
my mother was a Mexican, and I
have seen a great deal of the Mexi
can people and love them. I know
that the slavery and peonage of Mex
ico is due to the system of govern
ment presided over by General Diaz,
Simon Berthold, American Socialist, Second In command of Mexican rebel
troops In Lower California. >
and I feel that no patriot Jn any age
fought for a nobler cause than the
one for which I and my comrades In
Mexicali are fighuag.
Immediately upon the breaking out
of the revolution last November 1
Joined the liberal party. I was ordered
to Lower California. Our rendezvous
was Holtville, in the Imperial valley,
about twelve miles from the line. The
guns were slow in coming and dur
ing the weeks that we waited thirty
of our. number becoming Impatient,
left us, and went to join other insur
gent groups In Sonora and Chihua
hua.
Finally, when the guns and ammu
nition arrived, but twenty of us were
left in Holtville. In the cases which
arrived by freight there were sixty
rifles and 9000 rounds of ammuni
tion. In order to avoid violating the
neutrality laws we sent all but six
of our party on ahead and did not
open the boxes until we were on
Mexican soil.
Our plan was to hold Mexicali un
til we could gather a suffioient force
to march across the mountains and
take Ensenada Some persons have
wondered why we should strike at so
comparatively unimportant and iso
lated a part of Mexico as the penin
sula of Lower California
What the revolution needs most of
all is not men or shouters, but guns.
It takes money to buy guns, and men
with money are seldom revolution
ists.
At Ensenada a perpetual stream of
money flows into the customs house.
This could be put Into guns and am
munition and Lower California made
the headquarters for the revolution
ists.

Belton, Tex., March 7.—ln a letter
to Rev. W. M. Williams, a prominent
minister of this city, Senator J W
Bailey has announced his stand on
” le prohibition issue in this state. Mr.
Bailey is In favor of the present sys

dated December 30. 1910. and in re

I consented with this explanation:
I “I must give some public expres

In his letter Mr. Bailey says* “I
cannot understand how any man can
suffer himself to be alienated from
me because I believe that our local
option method of dealing with the
liquor question Is wiser than state
wide prohibition."

Such was the plan. It met its first
setback when Sheriff Meadows of Im
perial county swore in fifty deputies,
posted them along the line, and went
to arresting and disarming Mexicans
who attempted to join us. The seri

understood when it is said that Sher

forty guns In one dayr*'
My reason for coming to Los An
geles was to see If something could
not be done to stop what I believe
to be unfair interference with our
operations on the part of American
officials.
When General Bliss commanded
that we should not be permitted to
purchase food on American soil I
thought that was as far as the Amer
ican friends of Diaz would dare to
go. But, after arriving here, I learned
that the United States government
had given permission for the trans
portation of Mexican troops over
American soil, in order that they
might reach Lower California quick
ly from the mainland, the other mat
ter seemed insignificant
But I cannot, believe that the Amer
ican people will permit this thing.
Fifty years ago Uncle Sam fought to
abolish chattel slavery. Is Uncle Fam
going to fight to maintain chattel
slavery now?
If the American government will
only keep its hands off, if it will be
as fair to one side as to the other,
if it will only grant us the r.'gifts

the people of these counties were left
to elect their officers the law would
be openly defied. He says: “In these
counties it would be necessary if the
law is to be enforced to substitute a
state constabulary for the local police
which means, of course, that the peo
ple of these counties will be deprived
of the right of •self-government, and
in that sense I do think the right of
local self-government is involved in
the contest for statewide prohibi

Women Who Suffer.
Relief for women who suffer from
the many forms of distress, pain and
irregularities due to the diseased con
dition of leucorrhea, or whites, can
be found in the following home-made
preparation, which is used as sanative
wash or douche with syringe:
Obtain a 2-ounce package of anti
septic vllane powder. 1 ounce tannic
acid and 1 ounce sulphate zinc. Mix
all together and use a teaspoonful to a
quart of warm water. Tn very short
order the ravages of disease will be
checked, the parts assume a healthy
tone and the pain, irregularities and
distress will vanish.
A sanative wash of a harmless char
acter like this should be used by every
woman who values her health and
happiness.

Associated Press.
Venice, Italy, March 7. —Breathing
out his life in a request for the last
communion, Antonio Fogazzaro,
foremost of Italian authors, whose
sensational religious novel “Il Santo”
was placed under ban by the holy see,
died today. The request for the holy
office came too late. The writer who
had repeatedly offended the Vatican,
died in its asking and the only duty
left to the attending monk was ad
ministration of extreme unction.
Fogazzaro had been ill for several
days and recently underwent an oper
ation for cancer of the liver. Yester
day he suffered a collapse so com
plete that the report was sent out
that he had died.
/ An hour before his death, Fogaz
zaro murmured to a nun who was
nursing him: "Bring me the last
communion.”
From the next room where he had
waited, a Franciscan monk entered,

box of Muslin Underwear, a few Silk Petticoats—shown from under

Albany, N. Y., March 7.—There was

on the forty-second ballot today and
no desertion from the Sheehan ranks.
MARK TWAIN ONCE SAID
“It Is Spring Fever that causes the
g neral unrest, lack of ambition and
.run-down condition which pervades
the human system In the Spring of
the year.”
The sudden change from frigid to
.torrid weather occurs within a few
weeks, especially in our northern
states.
No wonder pulmonary troubles—
pneumonia, spring fever and all such
ailments are almost universal.
If people in this vicinity only knew
the value of Vlnol, our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic (without oil) at
this season of the year we would not
be able to get enough to supply the
demand.
Vlnol tones up the digestive organs,
purifies and enriches the blood, pro
motes healthful sleep and a normal
.appetite.
Old people, delfcate children, run
down, overworked and tired women,
those suffering from bronchitis, chron
ic coughs and colds, all derive great
benefit from its use.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un
derstanding that your money will be
returned If It does not help you. A.
