The Times THE REVOLUTION AS VIEWED BY THE ALLIES LfcAbfc MOMvl' -NOT The financial date presented by the convict lease committee oi the Junior Chamber of Com merce tending to show that the state can well afford to do without the earnings of leased convicts is worthy of most serioils consideration. The committee contends that "the state could do away with the lease system, pass the three-mill tax, increase its expendi in the i proper; all times, there may be no untoward accident, but the jdiarnces are very much against all this good fortune who is so careless or so reckless as to be influenced only by speed mania," "Common sense teaches up that our safety lies very largely in the exercise of 'the facilities with which we are endowed, "but when we see a fellow going at a speed that Is more rapid than reason would suggest is, safe for him, then we must conclude that he is at least little short on common sense. The speed laws are goodj They should be observed for the-safety of others even if the driver cares nothing for his own life. And the driver who fails to regard and observe them and.

thereby gets into trouble is deserving 'of -very little if any sympathy."

The more deeply the financial aspect of the situation is gone into the more indication there is that if the lease system is abolished the state will suffer so little in the matter of revenue and for such short period that there will be no difficulty even on that basis, and that the wonder of Alabami-ana will be that the state ever foi a moment that the leased labor of its convicts was ever desirable from' any standpoint.

Hearst-Owned Land Embarrassing Mexican Authorities, Is Said EL PASO, Texas, June 25. (Special.) State authorities in Chihuahua City are facing an em barrassing situation growing out of agrarian police, if reports drifting to the border from the capital are true. The problem has its basis In the demands of citizens' for expropriation of a portion of the rich ranch of William R. Hearst, American publisher, which lies 200 miles northwest of El Paso. If the rumors are true, the Chihuahua officials have no desire to incur the enmity, of Mr.

Hearst and his newspapers which recently have been publishing pro-Mexican dispatches and are indirectly advocating recognition for the southern republic. For this reason, they have asked Mr. Hearst whether he will sell a portion of his ranch to satisfy the demands of nearby residents for farms and so what price he will accept, is said. In the meantime the clamor for Hearst land is increasing. iFCLOTHES TORK FROM MAX HOPKINSVILLC.
