MEXICO'S REBEL JUNTA
is HEADED BY WOMAN
Senorita Andrea NHaneal Gonzalez Il LrreconcilabLe
- Foe Of President Diaz.

President Diaz in his administration
of affairs in the Republic of Mexico is
what Mr.. Dooley would call "hard
working and painstaking' executive.
But there is black-eyed senorita,
an exile from his domains, who lives
In st. Louis and spends her time plan
ming the downfall of the white-haired
soldier-president who. she says, is a
"despot worse than the czar." This
senoritas name is Andrea Villarreal
Gonzalez, and just now she is the
virtual head of the Mexican revolu.
tionary junta. n.
The term revolutionist means more
than creed south Of the United
States. It indicates profession.
1t was written many years ago that
in every country inhabited by the
Latin-American there should be two
parties. One party must be composed
of those who stand behind the govern
ment and are ready to spill their
blood for the ruler. The other faction
puts in it's life scowling at the admin
istration and waiting for a chance to
spill the executives blood
Behind this desire are two inspira-
tons. One is romance, trait strong
! In the Latin character, and which
fires the revolutionist's brain with Wis
ions of becoming great hero and
leaving the name of Savior of his
country" or "Liberator'' to go thunder
ing down the ages. The other is love
of military display, and all the stage
effects which go with warfare, If not
the love of fighting itself.

ParmeIia Loved Him Well, but What

They sat in the parlor.

Any girl who knows how to take adj
vantage of the cleaning can save her

The windows were up and the May
breezes swept into the room, bearing
upon their wings the odors of dande-
lions and catnip to heighten the ro-
nance of the situation.
They sat opposite each other-Par-
melia and Charles - and he had to
stretch his arm to the uttermost to
take and hold her hand. After an
hour or so she observed him wipe the
beads of perspiration from his heated
brow, and she softly murmured:
Charlie, dear, aren't you afraid
your arm will get paralyzed holding
it out so long,"
He replied that he wasn't, and that
he would hold it out thus for a year
for her sake. The numbskull never
took the hint to move up closer.
There was another period of silence.

He ought to have been kicked for
not taking the hint, but Parmelia was
not good kicker. She simply sighed
and settled back in her chair. She
was feeling utterly discouraged when
she suddenly remembered something

revolutionists has some show of stand
ing in the limelight, for new presi-
dents in that part of the world can
hold office long enough to get their
chairs warm. They do not seem to
understand the art of organizing their
support, and one day the ruler wakes
up to hear his former constituents
hurrahing for his erstwhile secretary
of something or other who is awaiting
him at the palace door with large
knife
But in South America, notably Ven
ezuela, where the little iron man, Cas-
tro, keeps order with big club, the
revoltmaker is not SO successful, while
In Mexico he doesn't succeed at all.
Watched by innumerable spies and al
ways in some scrape or other, he is
finally forced to quit the country, a
revolutionist still, and he hurls his
defiance across the border. While
these facts about the revolutionist are
set forth in the masculine gender, 1t
is merely for convenience sake, for
this is a story about a woman rebel
who is just as much to be reckoned
with as her brothers in the cause
Senoria Andrea became leader pro
tenn. after President Diaz's long arm
had reached across the border and
shut the prison doors upon her fellow
''Liberales" who operated the junta
unmolested in st. Louis for several
years. Her brother, Antonio Villar-
real, who is secretary of the junta;
Ricardo Flores Magon, president of
the "Liberales;" Juan Sarabia, the
vice president, and Enrique Flores
Magon were the moving spirits in the
work of raising funds and sympathy
for the cause, while Andrea wrote
seething articles for revolutionary
paper which she distributed from San
Antonio, Tex.
Finally the Diaz government got
tired of being called names and re-
membered that Villarreal, the Wagons
and Sarabia were wanted In Mexico
for libel. The four were arrested in
st. Louis, gave bail, but jumped their
bonds and fed. This was year and
a half ago.
Villarreal and Ricardo Magon have
just been captured at Los Angeles,
Cal, whence they will be extradited
to St. Louis and eventually to Mexico

pousef oH pOlltcdl temperance questions also the church people differ. I do not know that in the time of Christ there was any regulation of the liquor traffic by la .. IT Is probable that then there was only free trade. Therefore, it may be said that the Christian church has no doctrine on the subject. Whether Christ if living now, would advocate free trade or dispensary or prohibition or some oeher method of controlling the liquor traffic. is matter of inference and opinion. Dispensaries may be very loose ly constructed or they may be so strict ly framed and operated that they would permit the sale of only one glass of wine to one man in on day, or in one week The machinery by which they are con- ducted has much to do with their ef- fectiveness. Prohibition laws also may be of many sorts or kinds. They may provide many exceptions to the prohibit ton of the sale O. liquor. or they may be so tight and strict as not to per init man to buy spoonful of wine for use by his wife when sick. The condi- ton. temper and habits of the people may properly be considered in determining whether dispensaly law or a prohibition law should be adopted, and whether the provisions of any dispensary law or pro- hibitior law that may be proposed are wise and proper. Who would settle the question as to whether a proposed law snould De adOpleu Dy the cnurcn as q sort of doctrine? In congregational or democratic churches, like the Baptist, the people might claim that they ought to be heard. But under the practice of Dr. Lawrence. if I understand his practice. the whole question would be settled by the pastor. He would give out his own
