Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1911-02-24

A. H. Kennedy returned from a trip
down into Mexico, where he was de-
tanned by the troubles between the In
~surrectos and the federals. He wit
messed one battle between five insur-
rectos, who were on one side of the
river. and about an hundred federals,
who were on the other side. The bat
tie lasted several hours, and some ten
thousand rounds of ammunition were
fired. The only casualties were two
dig American horses, grazing near the
battle, who got into the zone Of fire,
and were.killed, He says the federal
troops are poorly prepared for a cam
paign. They had no first aid bundles,
and there was no doctor nor any sur
gical appliances with the troops. He
thought that If Orozco had captured
Juarez he would have had the bulk of
the people with him, and that they
will go with the winners OF the first
big battle, be it iusurrecto or federal.

THE OUTLOOK IN MEXICO.

The month of June passed and July
is drawing to a close without any one
coming forward to dispute the right If
Francisco l. Medero to the Presidency.
Both he and President de la Barra
have repeatedly assured the public
that all would have an even chance,
so far as the machinery of the State
could make it so, but no man of prom
nience was willing to permit his name
to head an opposition ticket.
For a time it appeared probable that
General Geronimo Trevino might be
induced to enter the race, but this
old warrior who had fought with Daiz
let it be known that he preferred the
quiet of his hacienda.
Familiarity with their idol and
fractional differences have served &c
diminish that wild enthusiasm which
the public at first bestowed upon the
man who overthrow the Diaz Govern
menr, but his enemies, both political
and personal, lack the courage to op,
pose him.
Intrigue is an old game in Mexico
but playing at politics has for the peo-
PIE of this country its disadvantages
They are not familiar with the rules
An American politician might make
things uncomfortable for Madero, but
his only opponents now in sight are
those who eXpend their energies in
publishing their denunciations of hin
and his ideas For a time it was
believed that the Catholic party might
prove a menace, but the announce.
ment was unofficially made few
weeks ago that this party would name
no candidate.
So far Madero has the field to him
self and has made no serious political
mistake of the Republic.

Gov. Smith Will Hold Place
Until December.

Atlanta, July 2O.-There has been
published a statement which, while it
did not come in the shape of a formal

of Governor Hoke Smith as to what
he proposes to do regarding the Unit

occurs in Washington to demand biz

Archbishon R,an,s DIPLOMACY.

The late Archbishop Ryan, of Phil
adelphia, says The Housekeeper, was a
diplomat Of the first order, and was
possessed of a full share of Celtic
wit and kindly humor.
Before the Catholic Standard and the
Catholic Times were combined to form
one publication there was much riy-
airy and much controversy between
their proprietors and readers as to
which was the more truly representa-
tive Roman Catholic organ in Phila-
delphia Each sought eagerly to gain
the official endorsement of the Arch
bishop. On one occasion a prominent
layman tried to trap him into a state
ment as to which of the two publica-
lions he preferred.

THE GREATEST HIGHWAY SUG-
GESTION YET.

Some months ago, at the instance OF
Chairman Frank Sheffield, of the Sum
ter County Commissioners, The Times
Recorder directed attention to the OPP
.pOrtunity that was open for a magni-
fcent highway from this city to the
Gulf of Mexico. II was pointed out 0y
Chairman Sheffield that by the con-
struction of some missing links it
would be possible to create a great
improved highway from this point d.
rectly to the Gulf, and that it was not
.eXaggerating it to say that if this We're
done Southwest Georgians could leave
home early in the morning, enjoy a
bath in the Gulf, and spend the night
at home.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Shelf
field was given wide circulation and
has taken deep root. The public mind
has been captiyated by it, in fact, and
there is every reason now to believe
that inside of a year or two the pro-
posed highway will be an actual fact,
1t will then be possible for not only.
the autoists of this section, but those
of all North Georgia, to enjoy a mag
nifcient run clean through to the.
Gulf of Mexico. That such a highway
would speedily win national recogni-
ton and become one of the famous
highways of the South goes without
question Regardless as to where they
came from, automobilists would be
eager to try their machines in a run
from Georgia's capital to the grand
view of the Gulf and enjoy the oppor-
tunities there offered for bathing,
boating, fishing and hunting.
A meeting is proposed for an early
date, to be held at brownsville, to-
push this project through. Americas,
Of course, will be literally represent
ed when the meeting is held. Ameri-
Gus looms up largely in all good road
meetings these days. The men who
are pushing Americas to the front and
keeping it there are not slow to avail
themselves of every chance that offers
to create new avenues of travel that
will bring tourists this way. Ameri-
Gus has everything to gain by Undue
ing flow of tourist travel through
this city and county. The more tour
lists that come this way the greater
and the more rapid the future devel-
opment Of Americas and the surround
ing country will be. Tourists, even
when not inclined to invest them
selves, will spread the news of the
opportunities Offering here and others
will come in their wake who will be-
come active factors in development.
No suggestion fraught with greater
good for Americas has been offered
than this Americus-to-the-Gu propo-
sition. 1t is one that every energy
should be turned toward accomplish
ing. North Georgia will soon have
its roads in fine shape, Southwest
Georgia is pushing the work as rap
idly and Florida interests should he
aroused sufficiently to put in the link
from the Georgia border to where the
Gulf awaits the influx of the host that
will find there facilities for pleasure
that few other sections can offer
throughout the year.
