Esen Navarro Is Given Praise for Defense of Juarez By the Men Now in
 Power


 MEXICO CITY, July 1.-Evil odCrs of governmental scandals will | 9t 3e permitted to reach the nostriis of Mex ico's public until after the election et any rate. if De Ia Barra and Francesca l. Madero can prevent it. Both the president pEo tenn and the man who expects to be president after DeceIn- Der are standing by the sealed jar of discords. ready to shoo away any meddlesome person who would un- screw the cover.
 Tn the name of the government 1 thank you, sir, for the bravery yCu displayed and for the valiant detense
 you made of Juarez," said the minister
 of war when General Navarro report ed The incident is typical of the de- sire of the present government not l to encourage rancOrOus feeling. Un- officially it was charged that the fed | erai soldiers had been supplied with | worthless ammunition. It is probable | that no official investigation will be | made True or not, if 8 feature of the past and De Ia Barra and Madero are deling with things of the future and 1 dealing with things of the present and planning for the future.
 Not yet has any of the newly or
 ganized parties placed in the field
 candidate for the presidency who
 promises to defeat Madero. Almost aH
 the parties formed so far differ but
 little and agree on the essentials ad-
 yocated by Madero. thus leaving them
 nothing but a personal Issue. It re-
 mains to be seen what the conserTs- tive part of the population will do.
 Even though Bmantour, macedo and others of the group commonly styled as ''Cieutificos" have left the country, there remains many Of the business
 mems element which they represented
 and it is not improbable that in time
 this part of the public will prove a
 danger to the liberal wing led by Ma
 dero. That they can muster their
 forces in time to prove a serious men
 ace before October 8, the day Of tue ' election. is not considered likely. By most residents of the capital it IS | considered that Madero's greatest dan-
 ger lies in himself If the election
 were today there is scarcely any doubt , that he would be chosen without oppo- !, sition He is the idol Of the people now, but there are those who would , lay traps for him and close friends are
 warning him against the danger Of p being led into any discretion.
 Reyes Saddle Horse
 P Tn the state Of Veracruz there IS a ' small band of ex-rebeIs who fought ! under Gayira, who display signs Of f indignation whenever one praises
 them for the manner in which they rl respected property rights during the Q war One Of the duties Of these men 2 was to hold up trains on the Mexican railway when it was thought mat Cen I eral Bernardo Reyes was coming to | the capital ahead Of time Never aid - they rob a passenger Of so much Ss
 watch. Their instructions were to > look for Reyes and to detaiD the train
 no longer than was necessary.
 V One night train they had stopped fl carried as express magnificent sad 8 dIe horse. The little group of rebeis P looked enviously at the animal and F suggested to Gavira that since 1t } probably was the property of some } federal officer it would be legitimate : contraband of war Gavira laughed st : the idea, insisted that it doubtless was st the horse of a private citizen and or
 dered them not to molest it. General Reyes now rides that horse. It was 7 his favorite saddler and had been [ shipped by him from Paris
 } President de la Barra IS learning } that the chief executive is supposed to } do more than perform the duties of
 country's general manager. Unless } he wishes to be remembered as ungra- cioHs he must receive tourists favor ed with influence. promoters who are hhungry for special favors and the cur ious who wish to shake the hand or i a president" Those who promote the ? atrical and other enterprises in the 5 name of charity feel free to expect that he accept invitations and every for eign colony expects him to honor
 them by attending the celebration Of their national holiday. Possibly he would not have seen buIIfight for vars to come had it not been for an Invitation extended and accepted shortly after his inauguration. lt was . the first fight he had seen.
 Now he has accepted the invitation to be the guest of the Americans on 1, the Fourth of July. Following the 2 precedent Of General Diaz he vii fol- ] low this acceptance by accepting the 2 invitation of the Freuca when they
 celebrate the fall of the Bastile In July
 and that of the Spaniards when they 2 observe Covadonga Day in September. s Not many months ago de la Barra was
 the minister to Belgium From there
 he was sent to Washington as aHn-
 passsdor. From Washington he came ? to Mexico as secretary of foreign af-
 fairs. In each of the positions he con- 5 sidered that he worked; but he is an- ? thority for the statement that he is
 '~iust discovering what work is"
