At VERA CRUZ
Deposed President of Mexico Steals

MEXICO CITY, May 27.-Stealing

secret escape that the news did not
transpire until late yesterday. Secrecy
was due less to apprehension of q
popular outburst than 10 a desire to
reach Vera Cruz before marauders
along the route could learn OF the
trip.
Travel between Mexico City and
Vera Cruz usually is over the Mexl-
can railroad, standard guage line
with modern equipment. Rail along
this route, however, frequently have
been removed of late by bandits, who

not leave the ecapital. They are
reported to have harbored the idea
that Diaz would follow the precedent
OF other Latin-America presidents
and carry the national funds with
him.
There also Is a narrow guage rail
road to the coast. Taking II for grant
ed that Diaz would take the more lux
urious route, the bandits did not mo-
lest the narrow guage road. For this
reason II was chosen by Diaz for his
trip.

stances. Rain had fallen earlier in the
night and by the time the former
president emerged from his house tho
air was chilly. He was closely muf-
fed. To aid in the disguise a bor-
rowed automobile was used. The trip
to the San Lazaro station was made
over unfrequented streets.

A BurrO Delegation.
Clerk.

The people OF New Mexico have
long sought for something that
adequately express the way they
feel every time they hear some-
thing from Washington about
statehood.
That feeling has found a voice.
Two Obsr men were sittingir The
shade, discussing the crops, when
Miller's burro proceeded to deliver
himself OF the mournful wall so
eloquent of that detection into
which all burros have fallen
"Wonder what that burro has on
his mind now," said one.
Don't know" replied the other.
"Mebby SO he just got word from
Washington about statehood.
Les send few burros to Wash
ington to express the feelings OF
the people of New Mexico. .-Obor

and progress OF the state and nation
and promote the uplift OF mankind.
Whether this study makes you DEM
ocrat or Republican, or an adherent
Of any other political faith, it be-
hooves you to serve your country BY
taking an active and constant interest
in politics and in the discussion and
settlement of public questions.
THE time is rapidly approaching
when the government of this country
will be taken out of the hands of the
self-seekers and will issue from the
people themselves. It rests upon you
and me to render what service we can
by making popular government honest,
just and efficient"
Every word of his advice is good.
It is sound judgment and every busf-
ness man in the country should do as
he advises. Especially is it desirable
that the young men realize that they
are the ones to come to the front and
join with the older ones to carry on
the business of the government.
This is a day of business men in
governmental affairs. The lawyers are
losing their prestige, for the business
men versed in the laws are proving
to be the best ones with whom to en-
trust the business of the people.
1t is wrong for the business men of
any section to abstain from politics
II is their duty to take part and pro-
tect themselves and their neighbors
from the professional politician.

CHAPTER EVAN Blount, son OF
Boss" David Blount Ex-senator Sage

Anners. Dick Gantry offers him po-
sit1on with the Trans continental rail-
way, which is fighting his father. Nc
Vickar, head of the railroad. and
Boss" Bzlount quarrel. 1.-THE boss
demands that the railroad stop the nse
of crooked methods. Going west 10

who takes I'm for forestry employc.
III-Evan is kidnapped by band OF
men, evidently land corporation agents,
and is taken at night to a mansion
seemingly presided over by woman.
IV-The house is Wartrace Hall, Sen
ator Blount's home, and the woman is
Evans's stepmother, whom he had
never met. V-The senator purposes
running Evan for attorney general de-
spite the young mans recent arrival
In the state. Evan objects. He hears
his father called a political trickster.
VI-McVicker def1es Senator Blount 70
nominate Evan. Patricia and her ge-
ologist father arrive at the Sagebrush
capital. What McVicker's request
Evan joins the railroads forces as di-
vision counsel and political worker,
He favors clean politics. but finds that
his office is made a rallying point by
small political hangers on of the road
VHI-Evan has a disagreement with
Gantry about the roads mixing in poll
tics. His father pulls wires unknown
to him to have him invited to speak
in distant mining town. Hathaway,
who has been trying to do business
with the road and with Senator Blount
is to have a talk with Mrs. Blount,
Chapter IX-Hathaway wants a rebate
from the road in consideration of po-

Professor Anners' name on his list of
stockholders.

Business Men
And Politics.

So often the expression is heard
from business men that they are too
busy to take part in politics or that
the political game is too corrupt for
them to take any part in it They do
not seem to realize that they are con-
tributing to make this state of affairs
possible. What we want now is for
the business men Of the country to be-
come interested and take part in
every political issue. Speaking on this
line at a recent meeting, Governor Dix
OF New York, said:
There is an ever growing necessity
of business men-and especially young
men-taking an active interest in the
affairs of government. One of the Sc
rious defects of our time grows out OF
the fact that Americans regard them
selves as too busy to pay attention to
the history and needs of their nation
and state. or even OF the county OF
city in which they live.
''It is your business and your duty
TO know what governmental reforms
are needed in your municipality and In
your state. I only ask you to study
public questions and decide for your.
selves the theories and principles o.
good government that in your judg.
ment viii best conserve the liberty

Encouraging is the news that comes
from the seamen of the Great Lakes,
who have been fighting for certain
rights for more than three years.
The number of strikers is about ten
thousand and it means much to them
selves as well as the entire sea-faring
people of the United States. There is
no objection to the wages paid, but
the seamen are fighting against the
welfare plan" which the men claim
practically reduces them to slavery.
The spirit of freedom which in the ma
ture of every American revolts against
the practical slavery under which the
seamen from other countries are COM
PEELED to serve.

could tell me, Mrs. Blount."
81 can't tell you anything that would
help the people who are walking in
their sleep" she returned. but 1
might offer a suggestion in your per-
sonal affair. Mr.. Blount is your man"
Hathaway pursed his thin lips and
frowned. How big a block Of Twin
Buttes stock shall offer him?"
Der laugh was a silvery peal OF de-
rision. you always figure in dollars
and cents. don't you, Mr.. Simon Peter
Hathaway she Knocked.
81 have always found it the cheapest
in the end"
Listen" she said, with the folded
fan held up like a monitory finger.
''Mr. Gantry may be back any min
ute, and can give you only the tiniest
hint. You must go to Mr.. Evan Blount
and appeal to him frankly as one
business man to another"
But 1 have heard-they say he's
all kinds of a crank"
'Never mind what you have heard.
Tell him all the facts and ask him to
help you, and. for mercy's sake, don't
offer him a block of your stock. Put
it where it will do the most good Put
it in the name of Professor William ].
/ Anners of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
! and show Mr.. Blount how dreadfully
disastrous the loss of the preferential
! freight rate would be to all the poor

| Hathaway drew down his cuff and
made a rapid pencil memorandum Of
the name and address of the new
beneficiary.
you will take notice that I'm not
| asking who this Professor Anners is
or why should be making him a pres
emit of block of stock, but what you
say goes as 1t lies. Anything elseT
Eyes. Be perfectly frank with Mr..
Blount and don't let him put you of.
He may pretend to be very angry at

81 won't mind anything II / can
bring this business down to the every
day, commonplace earth once more.
You and the senator and Gantry and
McVickar are playing some sort of
game, and you haven't shown me more
than the back of the cards. That's all
right. I'll play my hand blindfolded,
If that's what you want, Just so we
win the odd trick. When and where

1.-THE day after tomorrow at his Of
foe in Temple court. He is out Of the
city now, butt
Here Gantry's coming put an end
to the private conference, and the pres
ident Of the Twin Buttes company
went his way.
It was not until they had served out
their full sentence at Mrs. Weather
ford's crush and were back In the pri-
vate dining room suit at the Inter
Mountain, with Miss Anners safely
! behind the closed door of her own
apartment, that the small conspirator
passed the word Of good hope on to
her husband.
TT is working beautifully" she ex-
ulted. "He will go to see Evan day
after tomorrow-and after that the del
uge."
