| to set forth the facts in the case and
! ask for cooperation. What the prest-
dent did was to agitate the mind o.
the country by infammatory cores
Ipondence, making it appear that Call
| fornia was in a state of rebellion call
| ing for the hand of the only truly
strong and good man in the world to
bring her into the course Of patriotic
obligation and duty. California was
pilloried before the world in order that
man eXhilirated by vanity and cor
ceit, and wishing to go out of Office
with bang, should in the presence Of
the world and with due applause from
with the big stick and so reduce her
! to submission.
The final action of the California
Legislature was not in any wise aided
by the presidents excited and explos-
i've utterances. On the other hand
the adjustment was made exceedingly
difficult because those who really
carry the responsibilities of legislatio
were compelled in the face Of difficulty
and under the nominal reproach of ca.
ecutive enforcement to do what they
would have done to their own motto
without being badgered and bullied
from Washington.
It is not pleasant to say these things,
none the less it is due to the simple
| ity of history and to the dignity or
California that the truth shall not
be utterly lost in the Juror Of a melo-
dramatic grand stand play.

outside the City of Mexico they are
now filling in low place for a gar
den, and they are carrying the earth
IN baskets.
The men are not large, but a little
fellow picks up a trunk weighing 250
pounds and carries it from a railroad
station TO a hotel a mile or more dis
tant; in fact, he sometimes sets it
down at a house in the country five
miles away. His backbone seems to
be made of chilled steel and his mus
Gle is the tOughened fiber inherited
from long ages of toll.
And yet with all this dreadful labor
and depressing poverty, the Americans
who are here assure you that the pc
ons are happy class of people. They
seem SO fully persuaded of this fact
that | rather wonder that they do not
turn poems themselves. If a people
can be so happy in straw hats, cotton
pants and bare feet, and big load Of
freight on their backs, what is the
use of all this terrific scramble of civ
ilization and this running the world
over for knowledge or pleasure? 1t is
really strange how little We think
necessary to make the other man
happy.
Americans also assure US that the
poems are lazy. 1t is amusing when
looking out of a Pullman car window
at a procession Of leather-colored
Mexicans staggering under their
loads to have the man who is leaning
back on the cushioned seat tell you
that they are lazy, very lazy and to
assure you that better wages and bet
ter fare would be a positive detri-
ment to them. Give them a dollar
and they would quit work" is a com
mon remark. The missionary is about
the only man who expresses sympathy
for the peon The commercial spirit
is not careful or prayerful for the vel
fare of the class nearest the ground.
But there are signs of improvement.
Mexico is on the move. The surging
waves which roll across the industrial
life of America have sent a little
thrill through the sister republic. in
lower Mexico and in other outlying
districts there is still a contract sys-
tenn which means semi-slavery, for it
holds the man and his household by
perpetual debt instead of personal
ownership. But the backbone of the
evil is broken, and, while the hacien-
da may be the center of a semislave
community, yet the larger cities are
under the influence Of industrial free
dom DR.. Butler, who has been here
"a years. tells me that during his
time wages have doubled. In Mexico
city common laborers receive 81 a day,
Mexican money, which is so cents in
our money. Mechanics are paid 81 a
day. Household servants, or maids,
are paid five pesOs-dollars-
month, and given IS cents, or nine
cents in our money, per day to buy
their food The servant problem has
not reached the republic. 1t may come
with a higher civilization. And so
may strikes, boycotting, blacklisting,
fnfunctions and other fine. touches OF
human progress.

CHAPTER LII.
BY Lantern Light.

When Barbara had finished her
needlewOrk, the wonder which had
for some time been obtruding itself
upon her-what had become of Eve
became prominent and awake a fear
in her lest she should have run off
into the wood to Martin. She did
not wish to think that Eve would do
such a thing, but. if she were not in
the house, and neither her step nor
her voice announced her presence,
where was she? Eve was never able
to amuse herself, by herself, for long.
She must be with someone-with a
maid if no one else were available.
She had no resources in herself. If
she we're with Jasper, it did not mat
ter; but Barbara hardly thought Eve
wa with him.
She laid aside her needlework.
looked into her sisters room, with
out expecting to see Eve there. then
descended and sought Jane, to in
quire whether her father had given
signs of being awake by knocking
Jane. however. was not in the pantry
nor in the kitchen. Jane had not
been seen for some time. Then Bar.
bara very softly stole through the
hall and tapped at her fathers door
No answer. She opened it and looked
in. The room was quite dark. She
stood still and listened She did not
hear her father breathe. In some
surprise, but hardly yet in alarm
she went for candle. and returned

Claimed That Increased Traffic Is

Cause of Rapid Wea:- Of Highways.
Tarring of highways scored a vic
tory in the !u;crray ora! road con
gress at Paris, which listened to q
| long communication from one of its
members, DR.. Guglielminetti, known
in automobile circles as DR.. Tar, .
and a majority approved his views
which are the result of many years
of observation. Another paper was
read by NJ. Moreau, also an expert
who advocated a sort Of mortar coat
ing which might be a substitute for
tar where economy is a prime consid
GRAFTON. This coating, or hydraulic
binding, as he calls it, may be made
of cement or lime added to the road
material as it is being rolled and
compressed into shape. An expert
ment made four years ago with an
ordinary flint and limestone basis has
entirely succeeded. This road coat
ing costs only a halfpenny per square
metre which is just one-third Of the
average price of tar. The road on
which it has been tried is much fire.

ordinary amount of wear, with very
little dust
Many other papers were read to the
congress which were rather dry to
the general public, but in which auto
mobilists take a tremendous inter
+o+ f,Oy,o +bO
mobile Club of France undertook to
vindicate the cause Of the mOtor-car,
and several speakers showed that the
accusation against automobiles of
wearing out roads faster than other
vehicles is false. If certain roads now
need repairs more frequently it is
because the traffic has simply in.
| creased five or ten fold The damage
to roads has, moreover, been consid-
erably exaggerated. According to M.
IRenardier, chief road engineer at
Orleans, only 1000 out of $4,000 ma
tional highways have shown greater
wear and need more frequent repairs
since the advent of automobiles.
AS to the ideal road material, the
congress wisely abstained from Civ,
ing its preference to one system over
an Ter. The question is one in
which local conditions and climatic
changes play a conspicuous part.
The members of the congress, how
ever by an exchange of views and
inspecting the various samples at the
road exhibit in the gardens of the
Tuiler.es, were nevertheless, en-.
abled to carry home with them valua-
bic data for the Improvement of the
roads in their respective countries,
much to the satisfaction of automo,
bilists aud tourists There is one
question which all the members
would like to have seen solved, and
that was the dust problem. Provis-
ionally, for the want of something
better, tar, as already stated. secured
a majority in its favor but, as it is
not applicable in all cases, and does
not adhere to every road surface.
there are still hopes that in time
something superior will be found.

BOOST FOR CENTRALlZERS
Commerce Commission Puts Product
Above the Locals.
TossEs THEM A BIG BOUQUET
says Their Business is Perfectly Lee
ultimate and Product Perfectly
whoIesome-scheduIe Of
New Rates.

When the full decision OF the Interstate
Commerce commission in the creamery
cases was received Monday morning by the
big creameries OF Omaha IL was found to
be much more emphatic in its declarations
in favor OF such plants as are operated In
Omaha than the creamery men dared hope,
not only giving them better railroad rates
but such a boost for their product that the
manufacturers can scarcely believe a fed
ersl tribunal would go so far out Of the
way to tell what It believed to be the truth
about the butter made by the so-called
centrsllzers.'
II is remembered that much Of the testi-
mony introduced by the railroads was
purely an attack on the creameries such
as are operated in Omaha. A member OF
the Nebraska Railway commission secured
a man from the Department Of Agriculture
to testify against the creameries of Omaha
and Lincoln and the Interstate Commerce
commission completely "squelches' this
mans testimony, saying:
THE product of the ccntralizer. as pre-
.vlously stated, is perfectly wholesome and
Is superior to much of the butter manufac-
tured by local creameries and on the farm. ="
Further reviewing the testimony intro
duced to show that the creameries such as
are operated in Omaha should be discour-
aged and the small local creameries en-
couraged, the Interstate Commerce commits
sion declares that the situation is quite the
reverse and calls the local creamery a
monopoly OF the best type. while saying
the centralizers, which reach out 500 miles
from their plants for cream. are really the
ones which make competition possible and
he most keen.
DoBbted It's Applicability.
'rwban the Testimony aOainst the rom
tralizers was offered it was difficult to see
how It had much bearing upon the question
Of rates before the commission" says the
report. THE centralizer is engaged in a
perfectly legitimate business enterprise by
methods which may be and usually are
legitimate. The centralizer affords to hun
dreds of thousands of farmers the only
satisfactory means of disposing of their
milk.
"a blow at the centralizer is a blow at
every farmer who produces butterfat in
thousands of square miles of the territory
covered by this proceeding"
The decision Is followed by an order OF
the commission which establishes a new
schedule of rates on cream for interstate
business In all states east of Colorado, west
OF Detroit and Port Huron. The scale is
slightly higher than the rates established
by the Nebraska commission. The inter
Itate commission makes three separate sets
or rates on cream shipped in ten, eight and
tive-gallon cans. The following table
shows the rates established by the
commission on ten-gallon cans and
the rates of the Nebraska COM
mission for various distances, the full
schedule being on distances from twenty
five to 500 miles, climbing up ON a five
and ten-mile basis:
