Big Cattle Show Planned.

Madison.-If the plans submitted
by Secretary R. w. Rowland of the
state board of agriculture are ap-
proved by the committee of the re-
spective organizations concerned, the
cattle show at the 1912 Wisconsin

ever seen upon the Milwaukee

that special classification be pro
vided for cattle exhibited by county
breeders associations, of which there
are forty or more in the state.

Mr.. Editor-The insurectos are

arms until Daz and his despotlsm
are down and out. The Diaz tyranny,
against which the common people re-
belled is sought to be continued, in. n
modified form. yet under tyranny
all the same. The oligarchy of Diaz
has been compelled to cOnccde this
much TO save its bacon" but the
concession stops far short of Justice
and equal rights which is the solid
basis of all the republics and which
distinguishes republics from despot-
isms. While the present administra-
ton of the United States favors the
old rule rather than the new one Of
equal nights to all and special pri-
viieges to none. This rule should OBJ
tain and apply to all territory, at least
contiguous to our own country If not
to the entire western hemisphere.
Especially should II be so with Mexi-
co and Central America. The triple
wings OF the United States plutocratic
money power soaring In Mexico un-
der shadows the sun of righteousness
and dispells justice from the people
and overshadow and darken the po-
licy OF freedom and equal rights to
both classes. The position. which even
the new policy Of the Diaz admins
tration takes fails to safely guarantee
to the insurrectos or even the Mexican
people anything but a promise of in
definite reform. The promise Of
electoral reform" and affection by

ton from the fact that the Diaz oil
garchy has given notice that cannot

means, If II means anything, that the

rebellion against II Is wrong. This po-
sition has not the ear marks of truth
and is untenable We are reminded
Of 1776 when another revolution was
In progress. and the revolutionists,
rather than TO submit to tyranny and
injustice, refused 10 lay down their
