CITY OFFICIAL
THE MEXICAN In an interview
PRESIDENCY that he is "now definitely a candidate for the office of
President of Mexico," and he adds that General Huerta is barred by the
Constitution. Undoubtedly General Huerta is disqualified so long as he re
mains at the head of the government, but the disability would be removed
if he were to resign the presidency. Technically the Constitution was ob
served in his elevation, but only through an understanding with the rival
man on horseback, General Felix Diaz.
Upon the violent taking off of
Suarez Senor Pedro Lascurain, Minister
dent by succession under the Constitution. By grace of the two military
men who had destroyed the Modero
fice until an election was held, but his
ing their orders he appointed General Huerta minister of the interior and at
once resigned the presidency, or as Senor Gamboa terms it in his reply to
""Mr. Confidential Agent" Lind, "the executive power."- Automatically the
new minister of the interior became the head of the government of interreg
num, congress under duress calling a special election. It is clear enough
that the military partnership of Diaz and Huerta was greater than the Con
stitution, which was only an instrument in their hands.
It is worth while rehearsing the
relation of these two men to the elective presidency. If the Constitution
could be so easily moulded to their
to the compact should prevent the
field as a rival to General Diaz in
General Huerta, relinquishing his post
oi the friends of law and order, would
the army at his back.
Between the lines of the interview with General Diaz in London may be
read a solicitude that his partner in the removal of President Madero may
not let a little thing like the Constitution stand in the way of an ambition
for power and its emoluments. Consider this significant passage: "When
our mission left Mexico it was with the
election would be arranged, and that I
was held." There has been no avowed
eral "Huerta moved into the executive
statement of. General Diaz :
"Even if I am ordered to proceed
go there. My action will depend upon
What "coming developments" could General Diaz have in mind but a
change in the political situation? His theme was the presidency, not the re
lations of the United States and Mexico. The "mission to Japan" has from
the first been something of a mystery, but under cover of his credentials it
seems that General Diaz was to superintend the business of purchasing muni
tion of war for President Huerta.
nothing for General Diaz to do but
The Horse Needs Real De
fenders; Abuse Due
Mainly to Vanity '
By E H. PACKARD. General Field Agent of the American Humane Educa-
, tioh Society
THE habitual crimes perpetrated against our friend, the ; horse,
throughout this country and especially in the iarge cities, if realized
by the public at large, would shock the makers and enforcers of
laws into drastic action.
THERE IS NO WORSE BLOT UPON CIVILIZATION THAN THE
WIDESPREAD INHUMAN, INCREDIBLY WASTEFUL TREATMENT OF
HORSES BY ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE.
t S kt
Nothing but the publicity exposed evidence of the camera in fact,
nothing less than a PERSISTENT PUBLICITY CRUSADE directed
at GUILTY OWNERS AND DRIVERS OF HORSES will put an
end to this shameful holdover of barbarism.
It can be proved that a VAST MAJORITY OF HORSES AEE
WICKEDLY TORMENTED. , .
These conditions are due partly to ignorance and thoughtfulness, but
MAINLY TO HUMAN LOVE OF DISPLAY AND.TO GREED. Yet,
with respect to the last named consideration, there is the very reverse of
economy in denying a horse common comforts, which mean health,
strength and willingness to wprk. Love of display robs the horse of his
fly fighting tail, gives him the tight, torturing overcheck rein; the close,
monogrammed blinders which actually do "blind" him in time and the
absurdly heavy harness. . ;-' - v

It may be. conjectured that action in the political drama in Mexico will
now be quickened But a few weeks remain before the election called by
congress. If General Huerta is to be a candidate he must soon resign and
declare his intentions. If General Diaz is concerned about his own pros

HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY? -
When the government collects $344,
424,453 in one year as the revenue
derived from the sale of intoxicating
liquors, tobacco and playing cards, is
everything well with America?
The government needs money for the
necessary expenses of government
The Internal revenue tax helps to sup
port the government , But it may be
said that in the end the millions col
lected by the government from such
sources cost the people many, -many
millions more than they bring in.
How much do you pay?
Of course you know that every time
you take a drink of liquor, smoke a
cigar or a cigarette or break the seal
of a deck of playing cards you help to
bring up the enormous internal revenue
total. Perhaps, you say, in doing so:
"I am a patriotic citizen. I am help
ing to support the government"
False reasoning. You are helping
to break down the. goyernment, not
build it up, for unless the teachings
of history are untrue the nation In
which the vices grow cannot last
No nation can be greater or stronger
than the aggregate greatness and
strength of its individual citizens. If
you weaken yourself by excessive
drinking of intoxicants, by too much
smoking, by losing your hours bending
over the gambling table, you are not
an asset, but a liability. '
There are too many such In America
and elsewhere. . -
Work makes a nation great, not
luxury or vices.
You remember the old quotation, no
doubt:
111 tares the land, to hastening Ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men de
cay. That hits the idea squarely In the
bullseye. - Wealth accumulates, per
haps in huge heaps. It buys for one
generation luxuries undreamed of by
its predecessor.
But they have to be paid for. The
price is not the gold spent for them.
It is the toil of the masses which
creates all wealth. - : y
It the hundreds of millions of In
ternal revenue were contributed only
by the members of the "upper classes,"
who are relatively few in number,
there would be less cause for alarm.
But it comes largely from the pockets
of the workers.

WOMAN HOLDS FARM FOR

OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 20. Mrs.
Joseph Biet was locked up in. the
county jail today charged with resist
ing several officers, but it was not,
the officers said, until after she had
defended her farm at Hayward against
them for three day and given five of
them sound bsatings.
Two deputy constables first visited
the farm Tuesday to levy on two hay
ricks for a $500 debt. They say Mrs.
Biet drove tnem off with a club. They
tried again the next day, and say they
were beaten again.
Then they appealed to the sheriff,
who sent three deputies. Mrs. Biet.

PULL WEEDS THIS FALL
T. Gyeiner, the well known garden
ing expert, gives the following ad vie 2
in the current issue of Farm and Fire
side: "During the latter part of the sea
son I never gather even a small bas
ket of tomatoes or a mess of Limas
without having an eye open for weeds,
and always stop long enough to pull
the weeds from among the tomato or
other plants from which I "gather the
produce. This should be done before
the seed on the weed-plant is far e-
nough advanced to have a chance to
grow; or if it has, then the weed-plant
should be removed and destroyed so
no seeds will get back on our land.
URGE SEATTLE MOTHERS TO
APPLY FOR PENSIONS
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 20. De
serted Seattle mothers ara being
urged by their friends to obtain di
vorces in order to qualify themselves
to apply for mothers' pensions, accord
ing to a report read by Miss Virginia
McMechen, secretary of the Charity
Organization Society, at a meeting
ilast night. Miss McMechen also said
that friends of divorced women who
own property and are thereby ineligi
ble for a pension were urging them to
put their property in the name of some
one else and so become legally eligible
under the new state law.
In her .report Miss- McMechen as
serted that in almost every home she
visited in the course of her duties, she
found that the payment , of a grocery
bill would do little to alleviate the dis
tress.
"Sickness, lack of thrift, laziness
many things chiefly due to ignorance
are at the bottom of the distress in
most of the homes we are called upon
to visit," she said.
