Mexico has progressed and prospered
wonderfully during the tenure of office
by President Diaz, and while the same
political freedom does not prevail i'm
that country which is characteristic of
American politics, il is just possible
that Mexico is all the better for it.
Mexico, i'm other words. is still i'm
state of transition. both politically and
industrially, and it win be good many
years before the people Of that coun-
try are educated to the same apprecia-
ton OF the principles of self govern
ment which prevails in this nation.
President Diaz may be something OF a
dictator, but generally speaking he is a
mild and benevolent dictator. having
high ideals and commendable ambitions
for his country. and bending all his en-
ergies for the accomplishment of these
ideals and ambitions. 1t has required
strong hand to bring Mexico out of
the disorder and chaos which were
prevalent when Diaz assumed control
and il is greatly TO his credit that he
has accomplished so much, and with so
little friction. He has made enemies,
of course for no man could fill so
difficult a position without making en-
emies. But SO long as Diaz is willing
and able TO retain his present position
IT will probably be better for Mexico
to keep him i'm office.
The real test of Mexican stability and
power of self government will come
when Diaz dies. or is forced To step
aside on account of the feebleness OF
growing years. And as DiaZ is now
past so this test cannot possibly be
long deferred.

Chicago, June 22.-Attorneys rep
resenting the Pottawattomie Indians
are pressing their claims to rights on
Chicago's lake front, worth millions of
dollars. The made land extending in
to Lake Michigan along Chicagos
water front, has constituted local
problem of vital interest for many
months. Shipping interests claim the
land, as does also the city of Chicago.
Now, with third claimant in the
field, the situation becomes even more
complex.
one plan which has been suggested
for a settlement OF this question is
that it be left to Chief of Engineers,
u. $. A., Col. William IL. Bixby. Col
onel BiXby has only just succeeded to
that position, following Gen. William
ID. Marshall, who was placed on the
retired list. Colonel BiXby has been a
member of the engineer corps for 81
years.
The report on the lakes to- the gulf
deep waterway by a board of which
Colonel Bixby was chairman was made
last year, and is still fresh in the
minds OF many Colonel BiXby also
was connected with the adoption of
regulations for the use of water power
at the 500 to prevent reduction of
levels in Lake Superior and connect
ing channels and consequent inter-
ference with navigation. He was one
of the officials designated for inspec-
ton and appraisal of the destruction
resulting from the Charleston earth
quake i'm 1856.
Since 1907 Colonel BiXby has been
division engineer of the western divi-
sion and lighthouse engineer of the
upper Mississippi river and its tribu-
taries. He was president of board
of engineers appointed to survey the
Mississippi from ST. Louis to the gull
and determine the practicability of a
14-foot channel and its extension to
| Chicago. In 1909, as special advisory
engineer. he accompanied the congress
sional deep waterways commission, in
vestigatng the waterways and i'm
provements i'm Europe.
Born i'm Charlestown, Mass, Decem-
Der 81, 1S49, Colonel Bixby, at the age
of II, entered the Massachusetts insti-
tute of technology. A year later his
fathers death compelled him to take
up mercantile work for two years, fol-
lowing which he received appointment
to West Point. He was graduated al
the head of his class i'm 1878.
After two years on duty with the
battalion engineers of New York har-
Dor, he returned to West Point as an
instructor in engineering. In 1879 h'
was sent to France to take n special
course of instruction. After its com
pletion in 1880 he was assigned &c
make special investigation of the use
of iron in European Notifications.
Between 1882, when he returned t.
the United States, and the time of his

The Kalamazoo Press, which has
been supporting Kelley for governor,
in a recent issue quotes the lieutenant
governors remarks at Mt. Pleasant, in
which Patrick Henry tries to free him
self from the burden which he feels
close and intimate association with the
present administration has put upon
him.
Following the quotation there APP
pears this comment:
THUS the lieutenant governor cuts
loose from the governor. PROBABLY
WITH THE GOVERNORS FULL
KNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT. Mr..
Kelley evidently realized that in some
countries he is weak, because of the
anti-Warner feeling"
Now please remember that this ut
terance is from a Kelley organ impos-
sble as that seems upon first glance.
Could this latest move of Kelley's and
its real purpose be more palpably re-
vealed than in this remarkable ad-
mission by a Kelley newspaper.
Consider it. Kelley repudiates War
ner. but with Warmers full knowl-
edge and CONSENT" How lovely and
how truly genuine a reputation is
thisl Was ever anything done politi-
cally since Michigan left the sister
hood of the Northwest Territory so pail
pably and so obviously for political
effect?
And how much evidence will the
people of the state at large put i'm any
declaration of Kelleys refusal longer to
defend the Warner Kelley administra-
ton which is made only after full
and complete understanding with Gov
Warner?
1t is unfortunate that the lieutenant
governor did not discover earlier in the
campaign the strength of the feeling
throughout the state for a complete
cange in the control of public affairs
at Lansing Then he might have es-
capped the embarrassment of having
now to explain why for the past five
months upon the banquet circuit he
has busily engaged himself i'm constant
defense of the administration of which
he freely admitted himself a part.
The Kelley Reputation of Warner
was a political blunder which the COM
ment of the Kelley newspapers serves
but to make more glaringly apparent
