HOW DIAZ CRUSHES

cratic party launched upon a ma
tional campaign in favor of Reyes.
That campaign was entirely peace
able and devoid of seditious acts or
utterances.
But as soon as 1t became evident
that the party would sweep the
country; as soon as Diaz saw that
the official candidate for the vice
presidency, Ramon Corral, would
be overwhelmed in case Of an eIec-
ton he proceeded to destroy the
democratic party by as ruthless
methods as have ever been en-.
pIoyed by despot.
Diaz' first move was to nip the
propaganda for Reyes that was be-
ginning in the army. A dozen army
officers who were favorable to
Reyes were severely punished. On
the other hand, numerous army Of
ficers were permitted to engage
actively in the campaign for Corral
Some students in the national
schools of Jurisprudence, mines,
medicine and the preparatory school
of Mexico City were encouraged in
forming a club to further the can

I'VE obtain final results by
crystalized methods" said Rev. G.
F. Stevens, and | think such a
club might be good thing for Spo
kane. Agitation against these er
rors in regard to marriage is what
we need and If clubs are formed
the subject is preached from the
pulpits and advise is given out
through written articles there
might be a great reform"
Rev. w. S. McFadden thinks a
Cupid Wing club might be all right
but he was more enthusiastic over
an advanced legislative law dealing
with the matrimonial law. "A
club said Rev. Mr.. McFadden
might advance some good the
cries, but would have greater con
fidence in a universal law"
A Cupid Wing club has been re
Gently organized in Trenton, n. ].
and has adopted the following plat
form:
No Opponents.
No hasty marriages.
No counting in automobiles.
No marriages between old men
and young women.
The society comes out strong
and in no uncertain terms, against
all of these things, with the posi-
BILE exception of Opponents, which
the more romantic of the young
lady members are inclined to think
may serve their purpose in the
world of love in cases where par
ents raise unreasonable objections
and interfere with the course o.
true love.
The automobile, as a piece O
mechanism for the promotion O
wedlock. receives unstinted con
domination from the club members
| who through a bunch of resolutions
issue this solemn and official warn
ing to the girls of Trenton:
Girls, beware of automobiles, au
| tomobile owners and automobile
drivers. Fascination for motoring
often inspires girls with a romantic
feeling in which condition they are
particularly susceptible to the wile'
of Cupid, but automobile marriages
seldom result happily"
But the hardest blow of all wa
saved for old men who seek t.
marry young girls of less than hal
their age. This is the neat pack
age handed the bald heads by thu
Cupid Winglets":
These old fools do not realiz'
that young girls marry them TO
their money. After marriage thes'
girls sit around praying and wait
ing for Death to relieve them of thu
burden of their old husbands. Yo'
never hear of young girl marry
ing an old tramp, or an poor oil
man. unless they are insane.
