parliament Diaz was out taking a ride.
He came up into congress and ad-
dressed them, saying:
Seniors, you will either pass this bill
or 60 straight home"
They looked minute and raised the
cry of Long live the presidentw and
passed the bill.
When Diaz became president the
first time, before his principles became
known, his relatives and friends used
to go to him for easy jobs under the
government. They expected to be al
lowed to plumber the treasury in the
good, old fashioned Mexican way, and
they were very much disguised when
Dlaz made it plain that he neither in
tended to loot on his own account nor
to allow anybody else to do so.

Although called a benevolent despot,
Diaz has not forgotten his battles for
liberty and is still believer in revolu-
tons.
up north" he. once remarked to an
American visitor; you do not under
stand the evil conditions which prevail
in Latin American countries and the
need which exists for armed protest
against them. I am still revolution
list at heart. because I believe in prog
ress. In Latin America revolution is
the spirit Of progress, the spirit Of re
sistance to- evil. y
1T was through bloody military
! revolution that Mexico found herself
on the road to advancement, and it is
owing entirely to the Industrial revolu-
ton now going on, to the disgust Of
many conservative people, that prog
,ress is being made.
Without frequent, persistent reyolu:
tions the political question Of Spanish
America would be insoluble and the
Spanish American people would lapse
into the conditions which prevailed in
Europe during the middle ages"
Perhaps it is this belief in revolu.

sively as cabinet member, senator and
governor of Oaxaca. 1t was during
this interregnum that his second mar
rage occurred, the bride being the
daughter of bitter enemy. The hon.
eymoon was spent in the United
States. Naturally he fondly remem-
bered this trip in later life.
President Gonzalez proved a weak
sister, and, the law relating to Sec

was reelected, in 1884 and has been
successfully chosen from that day to
this. His friends say that he has fire.
quently tried to lay down the burdens
of Office, but the Mexican people would
not have it. By the size Of the present
revolution it is apparent that at least
part Of the electorate is willing to
dispense with his services.
There are also various stories float
ing across the border to the effect that
in his old age President Diaz is sew
eral different kinds Of a cruel tyrant
A book was even written and pub
ished in New York to prove this, the
author going to Jail for a year on the
charge that he ibeled one of Diaz's
lieutenants.
World Pays Tribute.
These tales are likely to be told
against any man who has been in
power as long as Porfirio Diaz. On the
other side of the shield is the worlds
universal regard and a national prog
ress such as Mexico had never before
known. In this development Diaz has
been the leading figure. His work has
been thus recounted:.
Among the foremost achievements
of the existing Mexican government
must be counted the founding of ma
tional school system, free from sec.
tartan influence. The strong hand of
the president is also seen in the mar
velons regeneration of, the capital city
which IS now drained by the greatest
piece Of sanitary engineering in the
world and which is being rapidly mod.

Prevented Railway Trust.

1t was Diaz that STEPPED into the
breach and prevented a railway trust
from taking charge Of Mexico's trans
portation facilities. His remedy for
that was government ownership.
He has ever been friendly to Ameri-
cans. When at an earlier stage Of his
career the grant to an American rail-
road in Mexico was withheld by tbs

Another great achievement Of the
DiaZ administration has been the i'm
proyement Of Mexican harbors on the
gulf and the Pacific. The latter fact is
especially notable in the instance of
the Tehuantepec route. By this high
way goods in transit from Atlantic
ports to California have an advantage
of 1900 miles over the proposed Pan
anna canal
Conspicuous also has been the rail
way development, Of which the Te-
huantepec is the latest phase. At the
beginning of the first term of Presi-
dent Diaz, in 1877, but one railway
the Mexican or Vera Cruz line, 293
miles in length-existed in the repub.
lie. In 1880 the two great systems Of
the Mexican National and Mexican
Central railroads were commenced.
Railroads now traverse every state ex-
cept Lower California, Tabasco and
Campeachy. At present about 1900
miles of railroad, operated by ten com.
panies, are in service
An equally remarkable feature has
been the solving Of national financial
problems. When Diaz came into power
the public debt amounted to above
$150,O00,O00, and the annual deficit In
national revenues was, near $4,000.

Called" Greatest Ruler fOurAqe''

Building Reforms Tie Brought
About In His Country.
By JAMES A. EDCERTON.


~ HE world esteem in which Pres
ident Porfrio Diaz, the aged
ruler Of Mexico, is held has
been illustrated by the univer-
sal concern displayed over the recent
rumors of his illness and impending
death. While these reports have been
denied, they alarmed the nations and
may have played a part in the dis
patching of an American army to the
Mexican border.
President Taft and President Diaz
have the same birthday. Sept. Is, and
their warm mutual regard was evil
denced at their meeting in Ell Paso
and Juarez two years ago.
Count Leo Tolstoy once referred to
Diaz as "the greatest ruler of our age.'
Theodore Roosevelt called him s'the
greatest statesman now living" What
manner Of man is this who can win so
high encomiums from such sources
In the first place, he is part Indian, his
mother having been a halfbreed and
his father, an innkeeper, having had
Indian blood. Porfrio was born in 1880,
on Sept. Is, the anniversary Of Mex
ico's strike for liberty. While still a
child he lost his father and his youth
was one of strugele and Dovertv

WHAT RECLAMATION
BY WATER MEANS

What reclamation by irrigation
means to the country is strongly
indicated by the recent announce
ment of the United States reclama-
ton service that $4S,000,0O0 is to
be expended during the next four
years in furthering the work of the
government in retaining semi-arid
and arid lands in the west What
an enormous amount this is may
perhaps be more easily comprehend
ed when it is remembered that il
averages an expenditure of $1,000
900 a month.
While this expenditure would pay
for five bttleships, it is in the case
of the reclamation service only q
loan to be returned to the United
States treasury and re-employe6
for reclamation work. The settler
on a government project has ter
years in which to pay for his lane
and water, while the returns under
irrigation are in many cases 81
abundant that one or two crop
will repay the cost. The new mar
kets thus opened are of great i'm
portance to merchants, manufactur
ers and financiers, causing them t,

fer a long time for the socially in
clined, which means nearly every
body, to get together informally at
least twice a month and have a

is done very much on the cooper
alive plan. Two or three of the
younger men will clean out the
hall, fill and light the lamps, rustic
some wood, and warm up the build
ing. Volunteer musicians bring
their Instruments, tune up, and the
fun commences. Recently a new
idea was introduced, which has be-
come quite popular. Some one sug-
gested that lunch would add to
the festivity, and the idea took.

how well it worked. Nearly every
