THE oRIENTs PRESIDENT.
A. E. StilwelI Who Is Making Mexico
known to Hundreds of Americans.

Quite aside from the benefit that will
come to Mexico from the building OF
his great railway that is to connect the
Pacific ocean by the shortest route with
the very center of the United States,
Arthur E. Stilwell is doing a work for
Mexico that is of untold and never end
ing good, says Modern MeSicoa
During the last six years Mr.. Stilwell
has taken to Mexico no less than eleven
special tratnr EXCURSIONS of Capitalists
and prominent men of the United States
and England. Primarily, of course, his
object has been to interest them in the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient road, and
in this he has been very successful:
On the other hand, Mr.. StiIwell has
not limited his trips to the section ira
versed by his road. His object has been
to show Mexico to his guests, He has
taken them to the capital; entertained
them well en- route; banqueted them IN
the shadow of historic Chapultepec;
presented them to the great man at the
head Of the nation, and, in word. CIV
en- them every opportunity to re and
learn for themselves of the great re-
sources of Mexico, and the opportuni-
ties that exist here for the intelligent
employment of capital. l-
The benefit to Mexico that has come
from this effort would be hard to esti-
mate in a material way. The Orient Pill
grims today number about 500; they
have all seen Mexico under the most re-,
vorable circumstances, and have had
exceptional opportunities for securing
exact information; that they We're IA
vorably impressed has been the case
almost without exception.
The value, We say. therefore, of this
number of men, prominent in business,
finance and the professions, scattered
over the country, spreading pleasant
Impressions about Mexico, talking of the
undeveloped wealth OK the Republic,
praising its delightful climate and its
orderly government; the value of this
advertising of this endless chain of in
formation about the country is almost
fIevond calculation. 1t is something
that cannot be measured by. dollars and
cents; the good words of these friends
of Mexico could not be had for price.
These are facts that may not all be
thought out by each individual, but that
thew are appreciated in a general way
is shown by the cordial reception that
President StilweH and each recurring
party of pilgrims are extended in Mex
leo by fellow-Americans and Mexfcans
alike. -
Mr.. Stilwelps commanding personality
and his business methods are equally
admired in Mexico, and his great sue
cess in financing his cherished project
of a great international railroad from
the heart of the American republic to
the Pacific, is a contamination that has
called forth sincere congratulation.

McDeniel Rides Three winners.

Los Angeles. Jan. Jockey Nc
Daniel is coming back strong at Ascot.
With three mounts he scored three
winners. He landed two of the three
winning favorites and brought his
other mount, third choice in the bet
ting, through with plenty of daylight
behind him. Jockey Kohler came in
for a round of Kisses for his ride on
DR.. Logan in the first race. Coming
into the stretch he went to the bat on
Logan and was pulling away from
Cazador the favorite. when he sud
denly ceased whipping and let his
mount stop. Those in the stand could
see nothing but a deliberate throwing
of the race to Cazador. This win
makes the sixth in succession for
Cazador.

AUTOMOBILES TO BE CHEAPER.
English Papers Predict a Falling OFF
in Price of Certain Machines.

London, Jan. IL onion financial Pa-
pers contain aceonnts of the almost
fabulous profits reap1d by one or two
prominent automobile constructing
firms in England during the past year.
Both the Daimler and Humber. comDan-
les seem to have plunged into a perfect
hurricane Of success. The former, in
addition to paying a dividend of 2211
per cent for ordinary shares and 3612
per cent on preferred shares, carries
forward balance of 100000 and puts
on the side $4,000 for development and
experimental work. The Humber com
'pany, after several years of depression,
changing hands at two shiIlings apiece,
quoted at % shillings. A net profit of
S106,000 on the years trading is shown,
and all manner of ancient debts have
been wiped out. In addition, a per
cent dividend has been declared.

certain companies excused their prices

events, shortly become much cheaper.
One reason is that makers are becom-
ing overstocked. 1t is common know

featuring a large scale has a con-

other is that the number of makers of
such cars is now so large that COM

SOME OF THE SAME KIND
OF PINHEADS ARE HERE.

Twenty-one Republican members of
the lower house of the Utah legisla-
ture voted against resolution to in
vite w. ]. Bryan to address them.
Fourteen Republicans and eight Dem
ocrats voted in favor of the resolu-
uon. so 1t was adopted by majority
of one.
That is TO say, nearly half of the
members voting and considerably
more than half of the Republican ma
jority in the house were smnn enough
to refuse n courtesy which Mr.. Bryan's
prominence as an American citizen
called for, and they refused it because
he is not of their political faith. Pea
nut and pin-head inevitably suggest
themselves as figures of speech when
the quality of brain involved in such
a vote is considered. but the terms
would be a reflections on n wholesome
article of diet and an indispensable
factor in domestic economy. The fig
ure would be unfair to the peanut
and the pin-head.
1t is entirely unlikely Mr.. Bryan
cares whether he addresses the legis-
lature or not, but It is unfair to the
state to have an impression go out
that the dissenters in the house rep
resents public sentiment here. Doubt

izens, and the leader of great poll

honored by the Republican president

He is not only great in his public life,
but he exemplifies all that is best in
private life and the honor, if any
there be in the legislative invitation.
