Work of Collecting and Distributing
Data on Resources.

Very few people really know what the
state geological surveys are doing and to
what extent and how readily, even glad
ly, they will furnish data of this kind.
Facts in regard to the resources of the
several states are embodied in the pub
licato of these scientific bureaus.
These facts are gathered by the state
biologists and their assistants and are
presented in orderly and scientific ar
rangement in bulletins, which are issued
from time to time. Some Of the surveys
issue annual bulletins, while others pub
lish the results of their Investigations at
more frequent intervals. Lists of the

defunct for want of necessary funds and
their resources for lack of information
failed to be developed as they should have
been. Other examples in both sections
might be cited to show. as these do, the
great advantages accru!ng from studying
the resources of a state in a scientific
and thorough manner. In New York the
people would as soon think of abandon
ing the Metropo itan Museum their
state geological survey. and in recent
wears the southern people have come to
think about this question in somewhat
the same way.
One of the practical reasons why the
southern people have begun to give evil
dence of a just appreciation of the value
to the state of a geolog:ca survey is be-
cause it has been demonstrated that
through its fundamentally thousands of
dollars are added annually to the taxable
basis.

Diplomat Who Served in Washing
ton Says His Friendship for Diaz
Was Resented.

Don Carlos Pereyra, first secretary of
the Mexican embassy in Washington dur
ing the course of the recent revolution,
who was recently called to Mexico City,
is out of the diplomatic service. senior
Pereyra has assumed that the appoint
ment of his successor in the post of first
secretary has indicated he is persona non

account of incompatbility of his SYM
pathies for the Diaz administration with
the present order of policies in Mexico
There has been no formal act of dis
Ilissal taken by the Mexican foreign Of
flee, nor has Senior Pereyra considered it
necessary to formally submit his resigna-
ton.
Word comes from Mexico City of this
situation. Senior Pereyra is the first dip
lomatic official holding over from the
time of Diaz to have reached a rupture
with the new administration.
Adequate indication of what would hap
pen to his own prospects Senior Pereyra
had received before his departure for
Mexico City. A statement Of his attitude
toward the present administration and
his conceptions of his duties, public
servant and patriot. toward his own
country was prepared by Senior Pereyra

Withholding all complaint against
the propriety of his separation from

Pereyra, in his statement, discussed

with the opinions he has always been
known to hold, made comparison ia

Pretense of Reyes Partisans.

Many Reyes partisans pretend that
they have come to the United States to
seek refuge from menaces in Mexico on
finding themselves surrounded by secret
service men.
The danger lies in Reyes or contra
revolution movements, because Reyes or
such contra-revolutions would be evil
dences of Madero's weakness and inability
to handle the situation.
THE real meaning of the present state
of unrest in Mexico is that Madero led a
revolution against Gen. Diaz and succeed
ed in gaining the presidency without end
ing that revolution. Madero has made
promises that he has been unable to full
fill. and that every sensible man knew
was impossible of fulfillment, and ap-
pealed to the worst elements to support
his revolution. This lawless element is
still in the field, and now arrayed against
Madero, who formerly was nominal chief
tain. These forces are now led by such
men as Zapata, Banderas and Zavaleta,
their real chieftains past and present.
THE present secretary of war, Gen
Gonzales Salas, said that in three days
after Madero assumed the presidency "a
pata would submit. Zapata has not SUBJ
mitted, nor is he in the way to be COM
PEELED to submit.

there would be great deal of curiosity

Long a Favorite.
All music lovers are familiar with the

but It has fought gamely for the best
music. though it's membership has been
one Of constant change. as new leaders
and musicians from Europe have taken
the place Of older ones.
One figure in the orchestra. however,
is still remarkably in evidence-Xaver
Rerter, first horn player, who Is with
out a superior, and whose unusual per-
sonality. with long hair flowing below
his shoulders is always observed Of
audiences. He made his debut at OBJ

important, and are readily recognized.
