RECREATION
1 Whllo aom do not work enough Uf
vet the proper amount of physical si-
erdee there are ' other who wear
themselves out by too close applies
tlon to their labors A certain amount
of rest Is needed by every one Men
tal labor will tire the body as well as
the mind There Is manual labor that
requires dose mental application
Iwhllo there Is some that requires no
appreciable mental strain Every one
should do some work of some kind
vAnd every one Is In need of soma rest
or recreation other than sleep Idle-
ness is far from being a rest though
there aro Instances when perfect
Idleness may be required Change of
occupation brings a desired rest If
your work Is manual labor seek men-
tal recreation muslo reading an en-
tertainment or a social hour If your
work Is chiefly mental take some phys-
ical exercise Make use of a work
bench ride walk or work In a garden
If It comes In your reach follow the
example of Oladstone or Lincoln and
swing an ax but with discretion
Everyone who can should cultivate a
habit of walking One gets the fresh
air and a variety of things seen re-
fresh thr mind The observing person
cannot Araik many blocks or far on a
countr road without gaining some
good thought Whatever your occupa-
tion choose that for recreation which
calls Into action a different set of
muscles and a different field for
thought “Change Is the sauce that

The tide of Immigration Is rising
and the officials at New York cay
April and May are likely to be record
breakers In this respect More than
5000 aliens arrived at Ellis Island the
other day and still they come The
circumstances will lead to fresh sug-
gestions as to the desirability of re-
stricting Immigration But It cannot
be denied that the facts point to
strong belief abroad In general pros-
perity here Immigration falls off
quickly when commercial and indus-
trial depression exists

Chicago fears a chicken famine be-

the post office department earned a

this was due to Improved business con-

more economical management

fl REVOLT
BIO FUND FOR INVESTIGATION
Amendment to Sundry Civil Bill
Adopted by Strict Partisan Veto
Washington— Chairman Tawney of
tho house appropriation committee
Tuesday succeeded In framing an
amendment to the sundry civil bill
providing the president with a fund of
$250000 for the purpose of obtaining
information concerning prices of man-
ufactured articles at home and
abroad that stood the test of confor-
mity with the rules of the house
By a strict party vots of 110 tn 8$
the amendment was adopted Previ-
ously the house by a vote of 84 to
100 rejected the Fitzgerald amend-
ment reducing the amount to 175000
The provisions to accomplish this
general purpose had beon ruled out
of order by Mr Mann of Illinois la
the chair The first proposed by Mr
Tawney called for a mass of Informa-
tion beyond any direct requirement of
the tariff law while In his second
amendment there was a provision
that tho president should make an
investigation of such prices for the
purpose of making recommendations
to congress Both were out of order
because they provided for doing
things not specifically authorized by
law
Preceding the decision ruling out
the first amendment In which Mr
Tawney accused the democrats of de-
siring to be in ignorance of the facts
about the tariff a brief debate oc-

AMERICAN FORCE IN NICARAGUA
WATCHING BOTH EIDEE
SITUATION IS COMPLEX
Popular Elsotlon Will la Forssd If
Result la Not Satisfactory to
Psopls— Madrls Net Rseog-
nlxsd as President
Washington D C— Tbe United
States It was officially announced
will not recede from its intention of
retaining control of Nicaraguan af-
fairs whether or not tb Madrls forca
captures Blueflelds
Th navy department has continued
Its force of a hundred men ana ma-
chine guns from the Paducah at and
near the custom bouse at Blueflelda-
Thla force la to be an international
police force and is to remain Indefi-
nitely In fact until a political condi-
tion has beeu established In Nicara-
gua which will be entirely aatlatU't:i:'y
to the secretary of state and president
This amounts in theory and la fact
to an occupation of the soil of Nica-
ragua which has been made neces-
sary the officials bold but the utter
indefensibility of the acts both of
Madrlz and Zelaya Madrls is not reo-
ognlzed as the president of Nicara-
gua by the United States’’ The situ-
ation at Blueflelds is complex but is
eutlrely soluble by tbe safeguards
which tbe state department has
thrown around existing and all possi-
Ve conditions
Jf the Estradlsts are defeated and
ate driven back into the city tne
Uulted States sailors will not perm't
them to be slaughtered in the streets
If tho Madrlz forces gain the victory
and enter the city they will be sub-
ject In the first place to whatever po-
lice regulations may be established by
Commander Gilmer who Is in charge
of the forces of the Paducah and of
the Dubuque
A summary of the situation ac-
cording to the few revelations made
by tbe diplomatic officials on account
of the delicacy of the crisis Is that the
United States will repudiate tbe pres-
idency of Madrlz
In other words if the Madrlz fac-
tion defeats the Estradlsts finally the
armed forces of the United States will
insist on a popular electiou This
election as in the case of Panama
where warring factions were suspect-
ed of inlending to defraud each other
will be held under federal auspices
in this way only cau the United
States secure the presence in the pres-
idential chair of a Nicaraguan as a
chief magistrate with whom the Unit-
ed Sates can negotiate a treaty for
an agreement of peace protection
Such an agreement officials hold is
impossible unless the Uulted States
1b given such authority as It held in
Cuba where all the phases of inter-
vention occupation and retention of
power for a given time made the Cu-
ban problem and the San Domingo
problem entirely successful
The officiuls of the administration
who have charge of straightening out
the triangle tangle in Nicaragua are
positive that the state department bat
never authorized any person to say tor
it that the VeniiB had a right to sail
from Now Orleans or that the vessel
constituted or could constitute a
blockade of Blueflelds
' As this contention has been made
by tne Madrlz government's official
organ It seems more and more obvi-
ous thut in the final audit ot the af-
fairs of Nicaragua Madrlz will not be
its president
If the Estradlsts are driven Into
Blueflelds the armed forces of the
United states will exert their author-
ity even to the extent of the United
States Mag nt the custom house
