The revolution in Moxioo and all tho various revolts
are but parts of ono groat revolution, is a fight for tho
land a restoration of property enjoyed for generations
by the- people.
The spoliation of the peons began with Oortez, wheiij
tho Spanish orown gave tho conqueror a provineo. It litis
been going on over since. The landed aristooraoy, ore-;
ated by the Spanish laud grants, have slowly annexed till!
the open ranges, tho communal fields about towns, the vil
lage commons and tho small, farms.
Under Diaz the absorption was accelerated. In ISIKi
the big haciendados united to secure tho passage of a land
law which confiscated all property not secured by legal
title. As the owners of small holdings were mostly illit
erate and the family had possessed the property for cen
turies, groat tracts of land were annexed by the hacien
dados. " Tho owners and tenants of this property, evicted by
the federal troops, were forced into slavery on the great
estates. "Barbarous Moxioo." as depicted by .John Ken
neth Turner, described conditions. Public schools wore
abolished and the peons deliberately debauched, degraded
and enslaved. Still the land hunger, instinctive with the
race, smouldered and has broken out again and again in
revolt. ,

lowing among the people, because he has not commit ted j1'1'1 IUA "kvmifj
himself to the laud program.
Villa, however, has been literally fulfilling the prom-1
ises of Zapata and Madero. lie has confiscated the great
estates and divided them among the peons. To every adult j
male in Chihuahjia lie gave 62V1 aercs,to bcinalioiiab!e
for ten years all confiscated from the Terrazas estate.!
The Spanish grandees are shown no mercy they are the
original cause of nuserv in Mexico.
Zapata has joined AMlla, though he renounces Carranza.

dreams of the poons in restoring lands owned by them for
countless generations, to the people.

To the Kdlter:
Dear Sir:
In your Issue of 6th lust. In your
wrlto-up of the prlre winners In the
musical contest at the Page Theater,
ou speak of lone Illco au among the
lower grades ns having received a
prize In "conducting." I wish to cor
rect this In her behalf ny thanking
tho "generous" public who almost
unanimously voted her tho "special"
prize as tho best" In conducting In
tho eighth grade at the opera houso
that evening. I bog also to state she
was appraised at her school room thu
following da that the "judgot" had
ulso awarded her "second" prlzo lu
conducting. However, at tlio actual
delivering (if tho prize ner name
was omitted entlroly except tho
"special" prize. Now her name
comes out as "among the lower
grades" wlilih Is a little more than
who likes lu this matter. Kindly pub
lish this note and oblige tier father
c w. men.

IT inust be a source of gratification to have filled for
ncarlv four vears one of the three highest executive
offices in the state with such universal satisfaction that no
opposition appears, not only in his own. but in any polit
ical party, to a second term. Such is the case of Thomas
13. Kay, state treasurer, and member of the executive
board of control of Oregon.
There can be no stronger indorsement of Mr. Kay's
administration than the fact that no out can be found to
contest the nomination with him in the republican party,
and no one who will accept nomination at the bauds of
the democratic and progressive parties to contest the elec
tion with him. At the present time it looks as though Mr.
Kay's re-election would be unanimous.
All has not been harmony' on the board, according to
frequent news items. There have been clashes between
the governor and the treasurer but these differences of
opinion are a good thing. People would be suspicious if
there was too much harmony. Besides, the disagreements
have boon magnified out of all nronortion in the desire of
certain partisan newspapers to create political capital.
Suffice it to say that every citizen is satisfied that each
member of the board is honest and acts according to his
best .judgment.
Mr. Kay has made an excellent official even his pol
itical enemies admit it. As a member of tho various
boards, he has been a conservative business manager, car
rying out progressive policies, lie does not got into tins
limelight much, but he can alwavs be found upon the job
and is universally recognized as a careful custodian of the
public treasury.
Mr. Kiy, who spent his boyhood at Ashland, won a
warm spot in the hearts of the people of Jackson county
when, as member and representative of the state highway
board, he encouraged bonding lor permanent roads by the
promise of state co-operation a promise now being ful
filled. Mr. Kay's many friends in southern Oregon congratu
late him upon his success and also congratulate the people
of Oregon upon securing such an efficient servant.
