nothing in Mexico; some of them had
not been there for years, being resi-
dents of this country; but they were
taken there without any charges. of
any nature or character whatever haV-
ing been brought against them.
Manuel Sarabia, one of the men
who have been imprisoned here for
months, was kidnapped from Arizona by
the Mexican officials, who were aided
in their conspiracy by officials In Ari-
zona.
Another reason is that Captain Fur
long of the Furlong detective agency OF
st. Louis swore on the stand that he
arrested us without a warrant and
that he was employed by the Mexican
government to do it.
"W. F. Zwickley of Los Angeles
makes an affidavit that Furlong told
him that he was not so much interest
ed in our case and the charges for
which we We're being tried as he was
in getting us over into Arizona; that
all he and the Mexican government
wanted is to get the defendants down
into Arizona, and then they will see
that they get them across the line.
Nov, Mr.. President, we lay these
facts before you concisely, in the hope
and belief that, having been called to
your attention, they will be sufficient
to insure us a trial by jury in Arizona.
We are willing to go to Arizona for
trial if you will only say openly and
in the public press that you will see
to it that we have trial in Arizona
upon this charge. Will you make this
statement to us by letter over your
signature?
"Thanking you in advance, we are
yours very truly.

Letter to Roosevelt
The letter to President Roosevelt
follows:
los ANGELES, May 2S. 1908
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Washing
ton, D. c.:
"Dear Sir--On the 23d of August last
we We're arrested in Los Angeles
charged with having resisted an Of
ficer This case was dismissed and we
were then charged with libel and
sought to be extradited to Missouri.
and this case was dismissed. We were
then charged with murder and larceny
in Mexico and this charge was dis
missed. There was absolutely nothing
in any of the charges, and the prose-
cution knew there was nothing in
them. The aim of the prosecution was
to get us to Mexico, where We would
be killed because we were opposed to
the tyranny of President Diaz and his
associates. We were then charged with
having conspired to violate the neu-
trality law in the United States.
"If we have done anything in viola
tion of the laws of this country we
are willing to be punished for our ac-
tions we are willing to stand trial be-
fore a jury in this country and are
confident that any jury will find that
we are not guilty. What we fear, how
ever, is that if we are taken to Arizo-
ma to be tried we will not be tried
there but spirited over the line into
Mexico, where we will be shot.
"Our reasons for this anticipation
have very good grounds Among them
is the fact that many men who are In
sympathy with us and who lived in
this country for many years prior to
the first day of September, 19O6-the
time alleged in the complaint against
us, in which we are charged with Vio-
lating the neutrality law-were spirited
over the line and are now in Mexico.

history: That

I
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again,
The eternal years of God hers:
While error wounded, writhes in pain
And dies among his worshipers!
The money power" seems fatally
blinded by its temporary successes,
maddened by its selfish ambitions. and
dreams itself omnipotent; 1t believes
that all pulpits and the press can be
silenced to its will, the frank and file"
made to vote for it's candidates and
measures, colleges, universities and
school boards taught to echo it's creed.
In fact, as in the late struggle at San
Francisco, the blame should fall, one
would think, on the refusal of the
wealthy railroad corporations to grant
the reasonable request of . the over
worked and underpaid toilers for q
small increase of the daily wage. In
stead of that easy and immediate end
of the struggle, the public verdict, no
doubt manipulated by the corporation,
was in the main against the really in
nocent party But the end is not yet!
Alas, 1t is too true that the present
social and business standard is that,
in large measure, of the Ohio couplet of
an earlier day: to get

Eat AN You Can. Mother,

An old man whose hair and beard were
cut in a chaste, rural design appeared In
one Of the table d'hote restaurants the
other day. He had his wife with him.
That was more than the old lady could
say of her hearing. She was almost stone
deaf, which gave: everybody a chance to,
find out what splendid lungs her husband
had.
The meal was luncheon. The price
which the old man was asked after be
had ordered two meals was rs cents.
"Seventy-fye centsp he exclaimed.
sYou don't mean apieceg

He thought it over a minute or two.
Then he looked at his wife aslif consider
ing whether he should try to get tbs
dreaded news past the old lady's tym-
panun. Evidently he gave It up. But he
did what he could. When the first course
came on. he leaned over and shouted In
her ear:

The grade is the most important fac
tor to be considered In the location OF
roads. The smoother the road surface
the less the grade should be. Whether
the road be constructed of earth, stone
or gravel, steep grades should always
be avoided II possible. They become
covered at times with coatngs Of ice
or slippery soil, making them very diff.
cult to ascend with loaded vehicles, al
well as dangerous to deseend. They
allow water to rush down at such a
rate as to wash great gaps alongside
