President Diaz.
One of the Wisest Men of His
Time-His Great Work
for Mexico.

The recent decision of the National
Liberty party to adhere to Pres
ident Diaz is merely the expression
of an abiding purpose of the party
and of the Mexican people 1t is
explained that it is a feeling among
men representing large business
interests that the country will enjoy
period of freedom from political
agitation between now and next
year, when the election takes place:
that the nomination of President
Oiaz puts an end to factions and
cabals and removes the presidential
succession from the domain of con-
lecture.
Mexico is an old country. 1t an
tedates Us by more than a century.
Even in Cuba civilization was
started long before it began to take
root anywhere in the United States.
Mexico was, when Diaz took charge.
shabby and neglected part of
decaying nation, because it was
even then essentially Spanish, The
country was as a sop to satisfy
royal hopelings, left without
thrones by NapoleOns of the Old
World. Few men could have done
all that the present head OF the
republic has done. Little improve
ment had been wrought when he
took charge.
President Diaz Is 4 man OF many
virtues, one of his best qualities be-
ing a head full OF common sense.
He is a patriot to a degree, and is
said to be a most friendly and
kindly man naturally; but all the
better qualities of the heart would
not have led him TO success with
out intelligence of the highest or
der. He is a good man; but he is
more. He is a wise man-one OF the
wisest of his time.-Austin News.

"The accession of so we'll known

"In connection with the building
