hostility to Madero. II looks upon the
leader OF the present uprising as dan
gerous as Diaz. II sees no possibility
Of immediate good In the revolution,
even II Madero Is successful, wi.-.out
a change in the direction OF the re-
volt.
The leaders OF the Liberal party,
who have been In Los Angeles since
September publishing Regeneration"

making final arrangements to cross
the line and take their chances of
oath in an effort to show their people
the right way out. How they will en-

They will be bounded by agents Of
both Madero and Diaz.:
Hardships are nothing now to these
men. Ricardo Flores Magon, the pres
ident OF the revolutionary junta, with
his compatriots, Viuuareal, Sarabia
and Rivera, are the men, who. only a
few months afo being Swallowed by
Mexican detectives attached to the
Los Angeles police force, were arrest

penitentiary at Florence, Ariz., for

Magon, who, besides serving in
prison in Arizona, has been several
times in jail in Mexico City for utter

Yes, We know 1t is death, perhaps,
for US to enter Mexico at this juno
tnre- We .ayQYed our purpose long
ago to night physicany S9alnSt tbs
rulers of Mexico, and the time has
come to do It. This revolution head
ed by Francisco Madero is our oppor-
tunity. We will not, though, fight to
aid Madero, for IL he wins the COM
mon people of Mexico would be no
better off than under Diaz. Madero
Is a creature Of the clericals and no
more. The movement which he now
leads is at least secretly favored by
the church. for the church fears that
when Diaz dies, and he Is very old
now, those who are In line to seize
his scepter would be opposed to 1t.
Though Diaz. under the constitution,
has kept church and state separae, he
has ever been the friend OF the cleri-
Gals. NNow that he Is tottering to
the grave, the church seeks TO elevate
Madero.
I'VE OF the Liberal party, who have
suffered imprisonment and persecu-
ton not only In our native land but
under the Stars and Stripes, are not
going to aid in thus placing In the
palace In Mexico a man who at heart
is not our ally. We will go TO Mexico
and proclaim the truth, that the OPP
portunity is ripe for the people them
selves to rule. We will seek to direct
the revolution. The populace is I'M

Yes, that Is so, but It Is because
they believe that through the II. 81

When Madero was defeated for the
election to the presidency of Mexico
at the last election and the ANTI Re-

congress and demanded that the cleo

in his statements appealed to the Lib

many things and still does, and most
Of those under his banner are actual
Liberals, hoping against hope.
I'VE know. though, that the success
OF the revolution as at present direct

sacrifice of blood. This we tell in our
