When ! say 1 think the system of
tram ways, or street railroads, in the
City of Mexico is the most perfect sys-
tenn Of transportation 1 have seen in
the republic-I probably owe the
jackass, or burro, system an apology.
This meek, long-suffering over-burd-
ened, unfed, and m~uch-abused animal
is utilized on all occasions and for all
purposes. At any time of day and on
all roads leading from the country to
the city may be seen in countless num-
bers this jack rabbit family, with every
variety of marketing, including fruit,
milk, poultry in cOops. lumber, char.
coal, tied in bundles of weeds or long
grass, building stone, brick, burned
and unburned, and, In fact, everything
that is movable 10 piled on these for
lorn, friendless animals and carried to
and from the country. 1t is said before
the in~troductions of railroads that as
many as 50.000 were in use In and
around the City of Mexico alone, and
the same system Of transportation pre-
walls throughout the republic.
The most amusing thing / have seen
In the natives is the ingenuity they
display in packing these burros with
anything they want to transport.
Lumber that is too long to balance
they attach to each side of the donkey
and let n end drag on the ground,
and In that way haul it fifty miles or
more from tho mountains to tire city,
or the mines, as the case may be.
There IL another class of Transports
ton in Mexico, which should not be
overlooked, as 1t enters largely into
competition with all others, viz, that
by which the heads and backs of men
and women are used. 1t Is surprising
to see what heavy burdens are carried
on both sexes, to and from the coun-
try. the women, generally with a pa
poose on the back, and frequently with
one or two more children a shade
larger following close behind her, and
she behind q man.. who Is driving a
herd of burr0s, all alike loaded to their
fullest capacity, and making slow rail-
road time. There is another class
known as eergadoers, licensed by the
cities. They are intrusted with hand
ling all valuable packages. moving
household goods, carrying messages,
transferring people on their backs
across the streets that are often over
flowed IN the rainy season, etc.. etc.
They are. In short. a kind OF confidel,
tial transportation company, and the
only one l have ever heard of In Mexico.
As there are few navigable lakes o r
rivers of importance in the interior of
Mexico, transportation by water cuts
but little figure, of course Still the
native Indian continues to utilizs what
there Is. The famous Lake Tezcuco,
upon which Cortez launched his little
6eet In his attack upon the City Of
Hexico in 1920. and into which the
drainage Of the city is emptied, still
affords navigation for small craft not
drawing more than two feet OF water
and Is accessible to the city through
canals which are utilized by the In
dams for transporting passengers and
every variety Of marketing, Of which
they raise large quantities along the
canals and on the sardars of the lake.

What n. r. Has to Say win Reference
to Sam Dnalrs Speech.

Ed. News HERALD FL have Just read
your New York Independents quotation
Of Sam small's Prohibition speech, in
which he takes the ground that the Pro-
hibition party now holds the balance of
power in many localities and perhaps in
few States, and urges Prohibitionists to
use this power by joining in with other
parties to elect Prohibitionists to Office.
Although there is no word OF editorial
comment from you l take It that you
have quoted this passage approvingly.
Writing from the standpoint Of the Pro-
hibition party, recognize the fact that
before prohibition can come the thou
sands Of honest men in the Republican
party who want the overthrow OF the
saloon and the handful OF men eually
honest who now vote the Prohibition
ticket must come together.
The mountain must come to Mahomet
honest, or Mahomet must 20 to the
mountain. But I want To ask, and !
want you to answer me. How can the
vote OF Proh;bitionist for the Republi-
can party result in any good to the cause
Of Prohibition?
If we vote for your candidate we vote
for man who has accepted nomination
upon your platform. When he does
that he loses his identity and merges
himself in the party and becomes
for the time being and for all official
acts the exponent of the doctrines and
policy Of the party. You have no bet
ter temperance man to offer us as Repre-
sentative than you have given us in the
few years past. Indeed we do not ask
any better, but we want them free. Be.
fore you offer them to us you tie them
to the policy Of taxation in such way
that our vote, II cast for them, must be
construed as vote in favor Of tax. For
the sake Of the argument allow for the
the moment that man can be honestly
and conscientiously approved to the
taxation Of the traffic, and tell us how
such a man can consistently vote for
candidate SO committed to the policy Of
taxation.
argue with Bro. Small. 1t is better
the saloon should go than that the Pro.
hibition party should come. But I am
not ready to admit that there is any
probability of its going through the
agency Of party whose avowed policy
is to preserve it as source of revenue.
John Sherman, in his review Of the
Presidents message, says he is in favor
of taking off the revenue by the general
government 80 as to make it a bounteous
source OF revenue to the States.
