Mexico is this month cel?nfat ting

numerous revolutions, disastrous war

France bringing in its train F"encn
occupation for time and a puppet
emperor. But. with a ~ vt it's back
sets, the country has made some pro-
gress. both materially and pol.:-
cally.
Under the long and practically
despotic rule of Daz. who by cour
tesy. is called a president. instera
of king or emperor, there has been
order and prosperity. Whether or
not human liberty, and representa-
tive institutions have gained or lost
under this rule is matter for hon
est difference OF opinion. Yet it must
be admitted that internal tranquil
ity is great advantage. and unqueS-
tionabiy American civilization has
had an ameliorating influence on The
country.
AS nation enjoying to the fun
est the blessings Of political indie
pendence we cannot but symapthize
with Mexico and every other nation
that is striving after the same boon.
and the wish OF all for Mexico is that
the next hundred years may bring ii
a wholesome absence of turmoil and
tyranny. and steady growth upward
as free nation. While Diaz, as we
said above. has been practically a
dictator. he seems 10 have been HON

st. Paul, Minn.-Alfred G. Ray,
chief special agent of the Great North
ern railway, Tuesday shot and killed
Charles P. Welsh, a former subor-
dinate in the Great Northern of1co
building at, st. Paul after Welsh had
fred five shots at Ray.
Welsh was about As years old and
had been dismissed by Ray about two
months ago for shooting a man at Du-
iuth. Since that time Welsh had been
expressing vindictive feelings to Ray.
Welsh met Special Officer John
Lane of the Great Northern railway
at the headquarters building and be-
gan to re7ile Ray, saying he would
"get" him.
Lane told Welsh to keep quiet, as
he would not allow Welsh to speak
digrespectfully of his superior officer,
whereupon Welsh turned his wrathful
utterances against Lane.
Before Ray appeared at his office
Welsh walked in and inquired Of
Chief Clerk Hess If there was any
mail. On being told there was moth
ing for him, Welsh said he would re-
turn in a day OF two. Shortly aftc-'-
ward Ray entered his Office and Welsh
returned. AS soon as he opened the
door he drew a revolver from his
pocket apd began to fire at Ray. At
the fifth shot Ray succeeded in get
ting his weapon into action and with
one shot killed Welsh.

that there are parts of it which may
be amenable to change.
His plan for getting at the inequali.

by individual schedules. He thinks
that by this means the statute may
be adjusted properly without causing
uneasiness in the business world.

COOK AFTER POLE RECORDS

Goes in Search Of Papers and Instru.

Exonerate Him.

Copenhagen, Denmark.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, discredited in the eyes
of the world by the findings of the
University of Copenhagen in regard to
the explorers claim of having reached
the north pole, again is on his way to
the top of the world.
From Goodhayn, Greenland, there
came letter which establishes ap.
parently beyond doubt that the Brook
lyn surgeon is making his way north.
ward in the effort to find records and
instruments he is said to have left
in the frozen north.
By these records and instruments
Doctor Cook hopes to establish his
contention that he was at the north
pole year ahead of Commander Rob-
ert E. Peary.
1t is stated in the letter that the
Brooklyn man has expressed himself
as confident Of being able to convince
the world he is entitled to full credit
as the original discoverer of the pole
and to force the scientists at the
University of Copenhagen to reverse
their adverse decision.
In this respect the writer Of the
letter asserts that among the resi-.
dents of Greenland there exists the
belief that every claim made by Doc
tor Cook in connection with his dash
northward is based upon fact and
that the explorer will be enabled so
to prove.

Goodhaven harbor, says the letter, and
from the captain and crew was OBJ

port that Doctor Cook had started a
second dash northward with the OBJ

expects will set him right before the
