GREAT MEXICAN RANcHMAN
Vast Landed Estate of Gen. Luis Ter.
razas Employs 10000 Men.

FROM the Kansas City Star.
Gen. Luis Terrazas is Mexico's wealth.
lest man. Gen. Terrazas is seyenty-nine
years old-the same age as President
Diaz. The lives OF both men have been
full OF stirring adventure 1t was in
reward for daring military service tina;
Gen. Terrazas obtained from the govern
ment large gifts of land which placed
him upon the road to the great fortune
which he now possesses.
1t Is conservatively estimated that Gen
Terrazas Is worth not less than 500 900,
OOo. His property holdings are chiefly
In the state of Chihuahua, but he also
has large investments In other parts o.
the republic.
Gen. Terrazas is the greatest land and
live stock baron in the world. il is said
lie owns nfteen ranches in the state of
Chihuahua. The ranches embrace an ag-
gregate area OF more than 100000 acres.
For many years special attention has
been given to raising horses upon these
ranches. More than 100000 head OF
horses are grazing upon the Terrazas
land.
The mule supply for most OF Mexico
comes from the Terrazas ranches These
animals now number more than 1000 600
head and are scattered over the different
properties. Gen. Terrazas's cattle hold
ngs number more than 1,OOO,O head.
Several hundred thousand head of goats
and sheep Craze upon his land. 1t is
said that the choicest grass lands in
northern Mexico are embraced in the
Terrazas estate. Streams of running
water pass through them and the grass
grows luxuriantly the greater part of the
year.
Some idea of the vastness of these
landed possessions may be had when IT
is known that more than 10000 men are
kept constantly employed looking after
the live stock. The service of 1000 men

THRONE OF GREECE
GOES BEGGING

@ALLEN from the high estate ii oc-
cupied in the days of its ancient
q glories, the throne Of Greece is now
begging for an owner.
Nobody wants Il. The present ruler
King George. makes no secret Of the fact
that he is wearied of his stay on the
thrcne, and that he is only too willing to
abdicate any time that the nation will
settle upon him a suficient allowance
to let him settle in Paris and live the
pleasure going life he loves.
AbruEzi can have it. for the military
retirement Of King George forced or vol

the sutton for the hand OF Miss Katherine
Elkins. the American girl. hasn't listened
with much enthusiasm.
He is not so far removed from the
crown OF Italy that he has not a chance
in that direction. and with that hope re-
moved he would sooner be free for jour-
neys OF exploration. an occupation OF
which he IL passionately fond.
And anyway, II he didn't care anything
about exploration or about lowering near
Miss Elkins. why should he want the

What inducement 10 there? What power
would be his that he should give up his
freedom in exchange for the scepter?
And there is the pathos Of the present
condition OF Hellas.
Once a change In ruler for Greece would
have plunged the whole world into fe-
rocious war. Once Greece represented
the last work In the worlds cultivation
IN its knowledge. in its physical beauty In
its progressiveness.
Its culture spread all over the world
The knowledge that the Greeks had was
theirs alone. and when the mighty war
like power of Rome gave that country
physical control OF the world. then 1t was
to Greece they came to get the culture
that had been denied.
The whole impulse Of the Greek nation
was directed to a mastering Of knowledge
such as no nation ever before exhibited
and Athens was concededly the center OF
the worlds intellect. The great drama

In connection with his present produc-
ton at the Lyric Theater. Mr.. Faversham
wishes to call attention to the fact that
the "Herod" of his play is not the Herod
connected with the Salome dance and the
decapitation of John the Baptist. but an
entirely different historical parsonage,
the first of the line which bore his name.
This Herod was an alien. who obtained
possession of the Jewish throne and who
married Marianne of the real Jewish
royal line. This explains his fear of
Aristobulus, Mariamnes brother, as the
natural man whom the Jewish people
might choose as sovereign in Herod's
stead.

EASY TALK ABOUT TARIFF.

Some of the Democratic neWspa-
pers of the state are preaching dis
satisfaction with the Republican at
titude on the tariff bill. We have had
occasion before to observe that the
adjustment of tariff bill is largely
a matter of giving and taking be-
tween different sections of the coun-
try and in behalf of various indus
tries and classes of producers. A
good many sections of the country
where manufactures are the chief
source Of wealth and business do not
want the tariff so reduced on their
product that the food of imported
stuff will interfere with the business
of their factories. They oppose
changes in the tariff on their goods
for the same reason that the North
Dakota producers oppose reductions
in the tariff on wheat, barley, hides,
cattle and similar products, in which
they do not want foreign COMPETE
tion that will reduce to them the
prices of their products.
1t is easy enough to say that the
tarlff on what stuffs we produce
should be maintained and that the
produces should be reduced, but it is
good deal easier to say it than it
is to get that kind of a tariff bill.
The Democrats had one experience
with revising the tariff, and we had
at one time a period of free wool,
but we. do not believe any of the
farmers of the state of North Da-
kota desire to repeat that expert
ence. The policy of protection is a
pretty well established policy of the
American government, and the only
danger lies as it seems to us, in the
granting protection to an industry
that Is not in need of it, or that uses
its protection for the sole purpose of,
getting more out of the people for
goods than they should pay. At the
same time, it is better to have an
area Of general good times and bus
mess, with tariff bill that is in some
things possibly too high than to have
An area of stagnation and adversely
with a free trade or tariff for rev.
enue bill.
Neither the Democratic no rthe
Republican party will ever get entire
ly together on the question of the
tariff, for the reason that there is
an element Of self interest entering
into the actions of all members of
congress. It is the element that leads
members of congress to protect the
resources and industries of their own
states and districts, and a member of
congress who failed to do so would
not stay in congress longer than the
first election after his failure. Fine
spun theories and criticisms are good
reading sometimes, but hard facts
count with the people themselves.
And as long as we have these condi-
lions of adversely of interests and
anxiety to- protect them, there is lit
tie to be gained by seeking to throw
dust into the eyes of the people for
purely partisan purposes.

Work on the reconstruction of the
classification yards of the Western Mary
land Railroad in Hagerstown will begin
this week. The enlargement of the
yards, which will necessitate the expend-
iture of about $4,000, was made necess-
airy by the increase in the freight bust
ness, brought about by the heavy traffic
of the Western Maryland and the Phila-
delphia and Reading road. The crews of
the latter road will run straight through
from Rutherford to Hagerstown.
The chief changes will be made in the
south yards. All of the tracks will be
rearranged and six new ones added, the
plan of the Philadelphia and Reading
yard at Rutherford being carried out in
the improvements.
An addition to the freight sheds at
South Junction will also be made. When
the new agreement between the two
roads became effective the freight sent
over the Philadelphia, Harrisburg and
Pittsburg line was not classified at Lur-
gan, but was sent through to Hagers-
town. In the last six months the bust
ness has increased to such an extent that
larger yards here became necessity.
