But no provision had been made for smoking rooms for tho ladles. The men could get along by defiantly smoking on the exhibition floors, which most of them did. But the ladles could not thus defy convention. "And so the 'Spectator toils! me that the ladies crowded Into the little re? tlrlng rooms," the spectator's husband writes., "and jthe air, was blue with smoke of everything from Manila cigars to needle else cigarettes. Oh, yes, JOts of ladies smoke cigars nowadays. There were o jnany smokers that standing room only ' became the rule at certain hours of the day, and women who were not accustomed to My Lady Nicotine usually left the toilet rooms strangling. The ruts seemed to be that the younger the woman wan. the mora rostlv her gown, the more and oftener she smoked, i Many of these feminine smokera pledged themselves to demand from the mani. agemeilt of the next dog show a proper smoking room for the ladles."

Dr. Morton is one of the-defendants In government milt against the pro moters of certain Canadian wining prop erties. As a mining expert he has ad mitted he is a very good doctor. Mr, Wise grinned a wide, toothful grin projected upon a flaming red back ground. Mr. Choate's teeth clicked also against aflamlng red background.' He demanded that the court take the grin away from the district attorney. "I have a right to laugh, said Mr, Wise, exemplifiinr- his , belief. Mr. Choate became, sad and condescending. He evidently pitied Mr. Wise from tho very bottom of his hesrt. ' "Perhaps," grieved Mr. Choate, "when you get to be 6 years old and are forced to go upon the stand, and be sub jected to the strain to which you have subjected this witness, you will not be so unrestrainedly merry." . From theJohnstown Democrat.' .; Concerning this man Madero there hatv been as many views, apparently. as there have been pien expressing views. Ho has been termed a llberator.l a tyrant, a leader, a ratrlot - and traitor. Probably ths only way of Judg-J ng the truth of the matter Is to catch I ths angle from which the various lan-1 suagq hurlers view the Mexican sltua-l Hon, This much Is certain.- Under thel vi&t regime Mexico a natural oonnrtunl- ties wers parceled out to the favored I few with a lavish hand. . It was easy! ror tne Dig interests to ret a concea. slon of almost any kind desired, Under I iibb raexico oecama a land in which I mo owner or tne great estate was ruler. Tho- peona wers virtually, vassals and went with ths soli. Under Olai Mexi. co's mineral wealth was exploited and the special interest profited and -the country lost. Madero's revolution : was directed. In part, against ths great Mexican land lords. Madoro, while not by any means a liioya-ueorae. nevertheless vu an, who caught a faint glimpse of th great truths , the English statesman tin a ma clearly grasped. On of the Mexican presidents first moves was to provide for a land tax a tax that hit ths great Madero estates oulta as hard as it hit any otners. , The tax on- land favored by Madura arouseaihe Mexican land-hold nr class. And the land barons began to scheme to Dnng about tn fall of. the admin- istaation. it Is to be noted that the- men most active against Madero were the men who had stood closeat to Diaz, the men Who had lone- renresented ana. clat Interests In Mexico. The class that fought the Mexican nresldent waa tha ciass, as rar as thlat coUntrv was con. cerncd, that fomented trouble, lit Cuba and then exploited It as it exploited tha r-niiinpwes. The fall of Madero throuch betraval y those whom he had trusted was un doubtedly haatened by the threatening attitude which from the first had been assumed by the United (States. - That aiutuua rrom tha time Taft mobilised a nuge ngntina xarca unon tha Mlcn (border had been a standing encourage- aieni to me malcontents and a bid for thevery end which has overtaken the mauiTQ regime. . tnai trio revolutionary.: movements in Mexico UUrina- tha last twn vaara were aided and abetted by Wall street Interests .there can be no reasonable doubt. And the occasion for this secret nosiiuiy to Madero la not far ta aak. Madero from the day of his triumph was a menace to tne exploiters Who had seisea upon tne resources of his coun try and these exploiters clearly reo. nixed the meaning of the reforms to which he was frankly committed, They knew that If he wero left to carry for ward his program tt would spoil their gran ana compel mem to rety anon legitimate effort for their profits. Thfs tney could not contemplate with equa nimity and they began casting about tnem ror a means to thwsrt him tn his great undertaking. Revolution proved th readleat means of embarrassing Madero. Behind all the revolutionary movements, which nave racked Mexico since the election of Madero lurked these Interests; and Washington has clearly lent its sym pathy to the efrorta which have , been mde-to drive Madero frem powar.-- That la now accomplished and Wash ington scarcely conceals Its satisfac tion. Ambassador Wilson seems to have twen.adyised to make haste, in recognising tha Dlas revolutionaries and to treat th lawfully constituted author ities with disdain. Not a moment was lost in making it apparent that Madero waa down and out as far as we were concerned and that his cause was with out sympatny in American officialdom. It does not matter that a new revolution may b treading awlftly on th heels of the one now momentarily successful; tt does not matter that Madero'a downfall wan accomplished hy as robl a betrayal as history records; It does not matter that the mass of the Mexican peflpie themselves have given no stgn regarding their hopes and their wishes; it mat ters only that Washington happily frnda a stumbling block removed from the path of the "lnteresta" and that oppor tunity is thus offered to treat with forces undoubtedly Inimical to the re forms which Madero was seeking to enforce and extend.
