RULES WITH A ROD
Picturesque Career Of Porfiro
Diaz, President Of Mexico.
Originally 4 RevoIutIonIst, for Thirty
Years This Remarkable Man Has
Governed the Republic With
Autocratic Power.

City OF Mexico.-President POrhro
Diaz. who has been inaugurated pres
ident OF Mexico for the eighth time,
for years has been forming about him
q system that makes him one OF the
most powerful and autocratic sover-
eigns of any country in the world.
The % states of Mexico are gov
erned by 28 men Of President Diaz's
personal choice. The 226 projects are
also his appointees, who have the
power to make arrests. judge and exc
cute prisoners. In Mexico man who
commits a misdemeanOr instead or
serving his time in Jail must serve 1t
In the army. Officers Of the army are
| privileged to kill any subordinate who
disobeys a command. The result Is
that President Diaz. to whom all mill
tary officers are responsible, rules
with an iron hand.
President Diaz was born in Oaxaca
In 1880. His mother was a full-blood-
ed Indian belonging to the large and
powerful tribe of Zapotee in the state
of Oaxaca. His father was Span
lard. who died in 1888. leaving his
widow with no other property than
five healthy children. of which little
PorfirO was one.
He studied law under BenitO Jaurez
who subsequently became president
Of the republic, and was the first man
against whom young Lawyer Dia7
raised his hand in rebellion. Diaz
fought against the Americans invad
Ing Mexico in 1847 and 1S4S. For the
next II years he was frequently II
revolutions for or against some favor
!tee candidate of the republic.
In 1860 Diaz, who had now become
a colonel, was sent to congress wher'
he asked the president in the name o
his people in the State of Oaxaca tt
J make them such concessions as h
we'll knew would not be granted. Ur

Col. Diaz was defeated for the presi

branch of the government on its feet
has, like his co-workers in the othe,
new bureaus, been fitted for his pres
ent duties by practical experience X
his special field. He was for year
consul at such points as Harput, Tur

1t might be supposed that the new
Division Of Western European Affair
could do much to stimulate American
trade in Europe. our commercial In
terests on the Continent having LONG
been well looked after by the most
capable men In our whole consular
service, but when 1t Is explained thai
this Western European Division will
for instance, concern itself not merely
with Great Britain, France. etc, but
with their colonies and with such rich
territory as Morocco, the Congo, etc..
1t can be surmised that there are
great opportunities even In this
sphere. This division is under the
personal supervision of the Third AS
sistant Secretary of State. post now
held by Mr.. Hale, son of the veteran
U. s. senator from Maine.
Supplementing the work of these
new geographical divisions In the re-
organized State Department, are the
activities Of what is known as the Blu
reau OF Trade Relations, the head Of
which is Mr.. John Ball Osborne. This
Bureau is to act as sort of clearing
house for the vast fund Of informa
ton which is continually being sent
home by Uncle Sans consular off,
GERS in all parts of the world. Not
only will the bureau publish and dis
tribute the reports made by the con-
suls everywhere. but any American
citizen who desires information from
any nook or corner of the world can
write to the bureau and it will trans
NIT his questions to the U. S. Consul
at the point in question. That this
service is made use of extensively Is
attested by the fact that this bureau
is receiving such letters of inquiry to
the tune OF nearly 10000 a year.

the State Department along the lines
projected.
Easily the most important outcome
OF this reorganization, which has but
lately become an accomplished fact,
Is the creation of four new offices or
bureaus known respectively as the
Division of Latin-American Affairs,
the Division of Far Eastern Affairs,
the Division of Near Eastern Affairs
and the Division of Western European
Affairs. AS the reader may surmise
from the titles Of these new branches
OF the government, each will have
jurisdiction over one important Sec
ton Of the globe and the purpose of
this new order of things is to enable
our government officials to specialize
just as men specialize in any other
walk in life
Every effort has been made to en-
list the services in these four bureaus
of men who have wide knowledge of
conditions in the quarters of the
globe with whose affairs they are to
deal. For instance, Mr.. Thomas G..
Dawson, who launched the Division Of
Latin-American Affairs, has spent
most of his life in Central and South
America. He was for seven years
connected with the U. S. legation in
Brazil and married prominent Bra
lillian woman. Then he saw service
as U. S. Minister to San Domingo, U.
s. Minister to Colombia. and u. s.
Minister to Chile. He speaks Span.
