Torreon Enterprise; The agent
 who has been conducting the nefa-
 rious business of Kidnapping chil dren in Mexico and carrying them to Yucatan, professed surprise and
 indignation when he was arrested and explained that it was necessary for the planters of Yucatan to have acclimated laborers. People of mature age sent to the plantations sickened and died, but by catching them young and in large quantities such of the children as survived grew up accustomed to the climate and furnished a supply of much needed laborers. As one Mexican paper expresses it, he planted chil- dren as the proprietor of a nursery would plant trees, and if they lived the fruit of their labors ultim- ately well repaid all the trouble and expense attached to the opera tion. The children. of course, were sent into a system of peonage, which virtually amounted to llfe's slavery to the planters.
