RESENTING THE GIFT.

Besides the few newspapers which
have criticised Mr.. Rockefeller's ac-
ton in giving $1,000,0OO for carry
ing on war against the hook worm
quite number of people have ap-
peared in public prints in different
parts of the south resenting this re-
Election upon our people and section.

stance, in a card says,
1t is to be hoped that our peo-
pie will not be taken by Mr.
Rockefeller'S vermifuge fund
and hook worm commission.
This habit of singing out the
South for all sorts of reforms,
remedies and enlightenments is
not for our benefit; and the
too ready acceptance of these
things upon the part of some
of our people is not to our cred
it. Mr.. Rockefeller would take
charge of both our heads and
our stomachs, and purge our
brains of ignorance and our bow
els of worms.
1t is time for self-respecting peo-
pie of the south to let rich north
erners who have more money than
anything else know that we are
tired of being singled out as special
objects to be lifted out of the depth
of ignorance and general sorryness.

Declares in Statement to Press That
Zelaya's Resignation Has Prevent

is Surprising.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Enrique Creel.
special envoy Of Mexico TO the U. S. in
Nicaraguan affairs, today gave the AS
sociated Press an authorized statement
regarding his present mission to this
country. Creel declared he had ac-
complished his task with gratifying
results. The resignation OF Zelaya and
the succession OF Madriz had ended
many difficulties and prevented an
archy he declared, and peace and pa
triotism are now finding their way on
both sides in Nicaragua. The granting
of an asylum TO Zelaya by Mexico, said
Creel, was i'm no sense an act OF un-
friendliness to the U. S.
Mexico's Course SURPRISING.
1t is an open secret that the Amer
lean state department will be intensely
surprised TO learn that Mexico had
recognized Madriz without having pre-
viously consulted the L. S. Zelaya's
influence in Honduras has been such
that the recognition of the Madriz gov
ernment by that country would seem
quite natural i'm the view of diplomats
mere Ihe intense desire of Costa Rica
for peace at any price it is said might
lead that nation to wish for settle
ment Of the disturbed state of Nicar-
aguan affairs at the earliest possible
moment and for that reason IL is be-
lieved IL would lend its influence in
giving stability to the Madriz govern
ment by recognizing its authority
should the movement be started by any
other Central American republic.
Much speculation is current in Off
cial and diplomatic circles concerning
the probable action of the Central
American republics in recognition of
the Madriz government at Managua.
Up to this morning the state depart
ment had received no official informa-
tion of such recognition by any Latin
American country.
