Francois l. Madero, leading the

IdiiCOlo l.. mdQClO, iCdUliiS lliC
movement, who opposes Diaz,
the present incumbent, for the
presidency, claims he was defeat
ed by fraud, and wishes to bring
about reform. There are ru-
mors to the effect that friends of
the administration are known to
have threatened the lives of vot-
ers unless they cast their ballot
according to dictation, and that
the voting precincts in many
places looked like armory halls.
The rank and file of the Mexican
people bitterly denounce the pres
ident and his administration, and
the sympathy of the American
people seems to be with the OPP
posing side.
| visited the city of Juarez,
Mexico. This town is across the
Rio Grande river, five minutes
ride on street car from Ell Paso.
Through curiosity / sought adj
mission to see the interior of a
Mexican prison. In my proceed
ure to the entrance | was met by
six soldiers, who stand guard,
and the Captain allowed me to
enter the visitors review, where
| observed the highness of a felon
of that Republic and his environ
ments. The Mexican law on pet
ty cases deals out summary JUS
tice. The usual procedure SIM
ply requires complainant to pro-
duce two witnesses to certify to
the charges and the culprit is ar
rested and remanded to prison
there to remain incommunicado
48 hours before he is allowed trial.
The cells have cement floors, up
on which they must find their
resting place at night. Bunks or
beds have no significance in their
prison life. In the day time the
prisoners are permitted to vacate
their cells and loiter about in a
yard or a bull ring surrounded by
prison walls. This place is an
awful filthy resort, and the very
air is repulsive. Please do not
misconstrue this as being my ex-
perience, it is the result of obser-
walton only.
The cotton farmers of our coun-
try are chronic kickers, constant
ly bowling hard times, never real
izing the fact that they are living
in a paradise of luxury. They
should familiarize themselves
with the real conditions of their
brother farmers in our sister Re-
public. The average monthly
wages of the Mexican are Is pc
SOS, or $3.50 per month, with
which he supports a family. An
adobe" or mud house is furn-
ished free, terra firma is their
floor, and the door and window
openings are the avenues of es-
cape for smoke instead of CHM
neys. The provisions are no
other than beans and corn-no
sow belly or molasses. The
clothing is confined to brown do
mestics, from which they make
their own clothes. 1t is COM
mon thing to see the poems in
pants of domestic and shirt to
match, at work on the ranch
barefooted.

Letter from Mike Ginsberg.

extract of my letter to you. |
am indeed surprised that my
Democratic friend should have
given it publicity. No doubt the
good things said about Colfax
were attractive, but he evidently
failed to recognize that all the
improvements and building activ-
tiles began directly after the
postoffice site was changed to
suit the masses, with a Republi-
can to inspire confidence; and
his success in having the govern
ment make appropriations for
dredging Cane river, which was
done two years ago, is sufficient
to appeal to every good Demo-
crat. Mr.. Goodwin will please
endorse the Republican platform
at the next election.
The photo you sent me of the
new brick block recently COM
pleted, in which the postoffice is
located, should be the pride of
Colfax, and would do credit to a
town twice it's size.
/ continue to study the customs
and character of the western
people and find a marvellous ex-
position of animal nature exist
ing, peculiarly fitting to Darwin's
theory on the origin of man. AL
though a town of but $4,000, Ell
Paso is strictly cosmopolitan.
The Westerners are constantly
on the alert for easy money.
But a short while ago a very
clever little Baptist (hard or soft
SHELF preacher held revival SER
vices four weeks in succession,
delivering a sermon each night
and lectured occasionally in the
public schools, converted his au-
dience in two evenings, leaving
them wiser, minus $1450 received
through the usual free will offer
ings.
Ell Paso is a great town for
Mexicans. Several are holding
prominent positions in the State
and county court of this city,
and if an effort were made the
Mexican population is strong
enough to elect their own people
to all offices secured by ballot.
This point is the gateway to Old
Mexico, and thousands of poems
are shipped by labor agencies
every summer to eastern cities
where they secure work. They
return in the fall to spend the
Winter at home in Mexico, where
they dig for wood and climb for
water. These people are awfully
ignorant, can neither read nor
write, are void of judgment, and
when they reach Ell Paso to re-
main over night and part of the
following day to catch the train
bound for Mexico, they fall into
the hands of Mexican boosters,
who lead them to their Waterloo.
They generally come in droves of
five hundred or more, and the
boosters begin their confidence
game Immediately after the poor
devils set foot on Ell Paso soil.
The characteristics of this ele-
ment are similar to that of their
forefathers (Spaniards and In
dians). They continue to cling
to their blankets, and a little cold
wave causes their blankets to play
hide and seek with their anatomy.
This climate is unlike that of in
terror Mexico, where it is warm
the year round. The very nature
of a Mexican practically leaves
him a slave to sentiment. The
boosters preying upon their be-
nighted brothers singles out the
leaders, each having a following
of so or 100 men, exchange a few
words of brotherly love, and soor
have the situation under cOntrO
