may harass him, are not in reality well
founded
Personal Bravery Proved.
His personal bravery energy and de-
termination were proved when he took
up arms almost single handed against the
strongly intrenched Diaz There is nothing
IN his writings not I'm conformity with the
great publicists of political science II am
bitlons for the uplifting OF the Mexican
people and the providing Of a better gov
ernmental system for his country could
form an indictment for altruism and as a
visionary. Madero himself doubtless would
cheerfully plead non vulL So far as prac-
ticability is concerned. no one can gainsay
that Madero has displayed that quality in
the management of his campaign for the
Presidency As a politician he made his
opponents look like amateurs
Those who resognize that the President
Will be compelled TO apply repressive and
corrective measures rather briskly az times
take comfort IN rejecting upon two or
three incidents in Madero's career Every
one remembers the energetic way in which
he showed their places 10 a band OF friends
OF Emilio Nasquez Gomez who attempted
10 bully him into compelling De la Barra
20 rcscat Gomez in the Cabinet He fatty
refused 10 interfere, lcctured the men upon
their lack OF patriotism. and said that
Gomez had received only what every dis
loyal, incompetent misunderstanding pub
lie servant deserved. He gave his hearty
approval TO the arrest OF these same men
when they threatened to take up arms
against the government il Gomez were not
rcinstated in his job.
Then there was the incident of the rcvo-
luuonary leaders, so-called, who protested
to Madero against the appointment Of three
of the best men iu his Cabinet-Ernest
Madero Minister of Finance; Manuel CAL
ero. Minister of Foreign Affairs and Iia-
fael Hernandez, Minister of Fomento. Gen
orally speaking they urged that Ernesto
Madero was a Cientihco and not in sympa-
thy with the common people, that Calero
was so brilliant in his Intellectual attain
ments that it was dangerous 10 allow him
TO have d hand in the government be-
cause there was no telling what exalted
position his talents might not cause MN to
covet. and that Hernandez was also Glen
tiico and not "a proper man TO represent
the people of Mexico i'm an official capacity
There were other allegations equally alb
surd. All the comfort the objectors got
from Madero when they presented tneir Pc
titiou TO him was d round NO. without
qualification or explanation.
DISPOSED to Crack the Whip.
These and other things have induced
general belief in the rigidity OF Madero
backbone and of his intention ana dlspOs4-
ton 10 crack the whip over friends ana Toes
whenever they deserve it, Ii would oe Iool-
ish for any one 70 blink the fact that Ma
dero is compelled to do exactly this tnihs 10
those who try 10 make trouble for MN
that is. if he expects to make a success OF
his administration.
Nadero realizes already that his road is
going 10 be far from easy. Deep impress
sions have been made upon the lower
classes by absurd, almost criminal promises
dealt out TO them by persons speaking WIN
ou+ authority M Maderos name. These
politicians have caused the poorer people ~
believe that. with Madero as President no
one will have TO work for less than TWO
pesos q day or not at all unless they ieel

Jadero showed his shrewdness and good
