THE MEXICAN REVOLT.
Byron Iiams Writes of Conditions
Mr.. Iiams Formerly Lived
Near Worcester, This
County.
Calexico, Calf, April p, 1911.
Editor Mexico Message:

OaleAlCO, VAIL, Nplil ~ I''i'
Editor Mexico Message:
| am sending by this mail sew
eral copies Of Imperial County
papers. | want you to know how
the people feel about the Mexican
revolt, the real people, who have
an opportunity to know the exact
conditions of the poor. oppressed
Mexicans, and the dirty, thieving
murderous practices of the MeXi-
can Federal officials, both in and
out of the army.
In the battle of April Sth, at the
Little's Ranch, American resi-
dents on the Mexican side witness
ed the battle and saw the Mexican
officers prodding the poor Indians
and poems in the backs to force
them to the front to fight, and the
papers sent you show how they
fought. Seven to one against the
insurectos. only two insurectos
were killed, and one of them, after
he had been carried to the rear
and placed in an ambulance under
the Red Cross flag, and by ma
chine gun which was trained on
the flag and which literally cut
flag, ambulance and mule team all
to pieces, inhicting mortal wounds
on the brave hero of the battle,
Gen. VIM. Stanley.
Only a little less disgraceful
than the Mexican officers are
the officers of the American forces
at Calexico, the G troop of the 1st
cavalry. American citizens are
arrested without the least warrant
or cause and thrown into a filthy
little pen and kept for days with
no charges or evidence of any kind
ever brought against them.
Clothed with authority from the
Taft Morganized interests, what
care they for the common people !?
If the whole people of the
United States knew as much of
Mexican conditions as do the peo-
pie Of Southern California your
Uncle Samuel would not dare to
aid the bloody Diaz regime as it
now does. Think of American
soldiers, the American Govern
ment aiding in every way they can
government whose officers and
troops send their women in front
of the firing line to prevent their
foes in battle from firing on them,
as was done at Little's Ranch, on
the Sth.
| want to say that the soldier
boys in the ranks are a fine, manly
lot Of fellows, and their hearts
are in the right place. AT least
this is the case at Calexico. CaleX-
leo is border town and a port Of
entry. Mexicalla is a sister town,
separated from CaleXico by an
imaginary line and a barb wire
fence. My home is 23-4 miles
from the boundary line.
| know many MeXicans, and !
find them a much better class of
people than they are given credit
for. l know conditions in Old
Mexico and know it is worse
than hell for the poor, and they
are practically all of the poor,
propertyless class. Mostly poems,
All of them deprived of the ballot
and every right except to work
and starve. Viva La Revolution.

Doctor j. f. Harrison of Mex

the Pennington Insane Asylum
when Henry Willmore of st. Louis

"John Willmore, son of Henry
Willmore, was called from st.

THE PURE FOOD LAW
AND SOME EXPERIMENTS
Work Being Carried on at the State
University

The minute details OF the work re
cessitated by the experiment static,
of the University of Nevada selativt
to the treatment OF food samples iol
traces of adulteration and mineral
colorings, were fully explained TO )
representative of the Jouranl yester-
day by Prof S. c. Dinsmore, who de
voted several hours of his valuabl.
time in trying to PROFOUND ideas into
the calloused brains OF his guests.
To say the least the magnitude OF
the labor involved is immense. Es-
pecially is this true in the department
conducted by the state bureau OF pure
food and drug inspection. Expert
ments have been made with every
brand of merchandise that has been
placed on the market, including vine
gar, extracts. canned cream and milk,
canned fruits, coffee. tea, spices, cere-
ais. etc.
Investigations have revealed the
astounding fact that liquids labeled
maple syrup contain connections that
are entirely foreign to the name.
Then there is a jar of strawberry pre-
serves that had been taken TO sample
some time ago. An analysis showed
that the strawberry" was composed
OF glucose, swetened with sacchrin
colored with coal tar dye and pre-
served with benzoate of soda. The
seeds we're common grass seeds.
There was not even strawberry leaf
in the mixture. but the stuff had been
sold for years and years until the
pure food and drug act put a stop to
that practice.
Samples of olive oil. that once bore
the label as being pure and shipped
direct from Italy, were found TO be
cotton oil, and the thrifty housewife
paid the highest price for this luxury.
Lemon extract was not lemon extract
ut all, while tomato catsup was man
ufactured out of everything but real
tomatoes. That was several years
ago, and to-day things are entirely
different.
Prof Dinsmore kindly consented to
make several milk analyses to demon
strate the matter of determining If
milk or cream contained the proper
amount of butter fat or farmaldyhide
The taking OF the analysis proved to
