Martin had just alighted from

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 21.--
Bernardino Reyes is name for
the world to ponder over as the
world looks at Mexico.
Just now, the nations see in
Mexico evidences of the awakening
of the people to the fact that their
constitution promises to them
many things that the benevolent
despotism" of Diaz does not give
them; evidences that the people
are preparing to take those things.
And as the world watches the peo-
pie 1t is inevitable that the CEN
ter of vision will be General Ber-
nardo Reyes.
General Reyes is being closely
watched by Diaz and Corral, the
man whom Diaz has chosen to
succeed him as dictator. The gov
eminent doesn't dare arrest Reyes.
Reyes, himself, denies he is can
didate for the vice-presidency,
but that, of course, is polite fiC-
ition rendered the government,
which the government under
stands.
The fact is, that clubs Of "Rey-
tstas" are being formed all over
Mexico. Reyes name is being whis-
pered in conspirators' gatherings
and openly shouted at noisy meet
ings of students, who have prompt
ly been suppressed and arrested. A
dozen young military officers at
the famous Tlalpam school issued
a signed statement declaring for
Reyes. They were exiled to the
Yaqui and Maya countries. The
Reyista movement only spread the
more. The poems, although not
allowed to vote, are "agitating."
Riots have occurred. Likewise ex-
ecutions. The rurales-Mexico g
rural police-have handy way OF
shooting prisoners who attempt
to escape" 1t saved lot of trou-
BILE with many a traitor" who has
been talking against the govern
ment." rs
If Reyes gains control. will
Mexico benefit? VIII he be anoth-
er dictator, or will be give Mex.
leo a real repubiicf The answer
isn't known. It's leap in the
dark. But a large number OF
Mexico's fourteen million people
are willing to leapsinto the dark
or from the frying pan into the
fire, or take any other chance
that offers a break in the monot-
ony of benevolent despotism."
Diaz is watching the govern
ment at Washington closely in this
crisis. If Cuban history is re-
peated in Mexico it is generally
conceded the United States will
step in. All parties and factions
in Mexico are naturally opposed
to such an event. Diaz wants the
aid but not the interference OF
Washington. He has been sue
cessful thus far. In June, 1908
a premature revolutionary out
break occurred in Mexico. Col
Kosterlitsky's rurales (Koster-
litsky, by the way, was once q
commander of Russian cossacks)

or traitors" (the title depends
upon which side you're on), al

were chased clear off the Mexican

"cREATEsT PREACHER OF DAY.
SO Thinks Ono of Evanselist's Con-
vsrts-Roaoh Declares That Sunday
is Not CRATER, and Says He Ought
to know-Finaneial Campaign BE-
gins Today.

s w. l.. Roach, millionaire lumberman
and a prominent citizen Of Muscatine
yesterday told Marshalltown what he
knew Of Billy Sunday. The picture
Mr.. Roach painted differed materially
from some Of the portraits that have
been held up before the public view,
and a new conception of Sunday, the
man, was gained by many.
L "The greatest preacher ON the plat
form today" was the way Mr.. Roach
put it, in speaking Of Sunday.
Mr. Roach spoke Of Sundays SEN
sationalislns and the 'svangelist's
slang, but said they were greatly over
balanced by his many sermons in
which the best use Of the English Ian
guage was made. Mr.. Roach said that
the slangy and sensational sermons
were comparatively few. and that no
preacher, Of whom he knew, had bet
ter command Of the kings English than
Sunday. Neither did he know Of any
preacher who could preach u more ten
der or pathetic sermon. AS an Illus
stration reference was made, to Sun
days sermon on the t'wenty-third
psalm.
Sunday Not . Crater.
Mr. Roach dwelt on his own I'M
pressions Of Sunday, as he, knew him
personally, and in this connection took
occasion to disclaim the statement
often made, that Sunday Is a CRATER"
that Sunday was q CRATER, because up
49,. 40 n
never had as large an. individual con-
tribution as given him by the speaker.
MT. Roach made the ASSERTION that
those who most loudly accused Sun
day Of being q CRATER were the ones
who had not given him a cent.
Gives Personal Testimony.
Mr.. Roach launched into an old
fashioned Methodist experience meet
Ing" by giving his testimony. He told
OF his conversion under Sundays
preaching, and how his attitude to-
wards worldly things had changed.
Mr.. Roach, while not an orator, is q
decidedly pleasing speaker. His adj
dress was what might have been looked
Tor from an educated business man.
The church was completely filled by
an audience that was generally SYM
pathetic with the testimonial to sun
day. Commandant C. C. Horton, Of the
soldiers home, who is q warm, per-
sonal friend Of Mr.. Roach, and had
known him as resident Of Muscatine,
introduced the speaker both at the eve
ming meeting, and the mems meet
ings ct the east court room In the eft
ternoon.

Mr.. Roach addressed an audience Of
men that filled the east court room
Sunday afternoon, the meeting being
the regular Sunday service Of the Rail-
road, z. NJ. G. A. He spoke along the
lines Of his knowledge of Sunday and
hts work, and gave his testimony as
to what Sunday had done for him.
Former Secretary John A. Goodell,
Of, the 7. M. c. A., took occasion to
refute, absolutely and unqualifiedly, the
newspaper story emanating from Iowa
Falls, in which 1t was said that $50
would be paid for a single, Sunday con-
vert now an active worker in the
church.
Mr.. GoodelJ said he had taken the
trouble of investigating the statements
made, while in Iowa Falls recently, and
declared that the story was a myth.
He was ready to take the $50 If he
could find who offered It, but said that
the offer had never been made. Fur
thermore Mr.. Goodell declared, there
were hundreds of people nt work in the
Iowa Falls churches who were Sunday
converts.
