niaz and HI, Successor,

Whether the enforced resignation
Of Diaz as president Of Mexico COM
pletes the victory OF Madero and bis
forces lie a question to be answered
after the new regime shall have had
opportunity to demonstrate it's ability
to run the government as WELL or
better. The time for Diaz to step
down undoubtedly had come, but in
that alone is no sufficient guaranty
for the future. Mexico still faces
problems which acutely affect it's ma
tional integrity and which will require
large measure of devoted statesman
ship to solve.
or Diaz's remarkable ability there
has never been doubt. He came
into power by much the same means
that mark the advent OF his success
sors. Having failed of election as
president in 1857, "he never ceased
plotting against the government" his
tory says, land his intrigues OCCASION
ally broke out in the form OF open re-
volt" until he finally achieved his
purpose and the welfare OF Mexico
along with It. In 1877 he became
president and order was restored in
remarkably short time" 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the Nader
lists succeed as well now, when It
should be easier to restore order than
1t was then. Diaz soon won the con-
fidence OF European investors and,
under his influence, capital began to
pour into the country for it's develop
ment. But his term of ONCE ended
in 1880, because the law then forbade
a reelection. He practically named
his successor, General Gonzalez, and
by the end Of his term, in 1884, the
Mexican people having demanded
Diaz as the only man they cared to
trust and the only one whom foreign
capital would follow, had amended the
law so as to remove the restriction, and
since then his elections have followed
largely as a matter of course.
Diaz leaves the republic potentially
strong and immensely rich, with a
sound credit abroad, and his success
sors will find their greatest task in
on what he has done. His
going to France must be entirely of
his own accord, for, while he found It
advisable to fee from the country in
1879 and again in 1875, he certainly
would have no reason, after his resig-
nation is accepted. to fear for his per-
sonal safety among his countrymen
who realize and recognize the invalus-
BILE service he has rendered them.

ALFALFA VERSUS CORN.
Former Reaching for Crown of Latter
In Nebraska. ',

FORMER Reaching Tor Crown OF Latter
In Nebraska. .,.
Nashville Tenneseean.
Out in Nebraska they are shouting that
Queen Alfalfa has routed King Corn!''
and the folks who are on the side Of the
new monarch are producing some mighty
interesting figures to back up their asser-
ton that a new era has arrived.
1t Is shown by these statisticians that
quarter section In corn will produce an
actual profit Of $3.50 per year, while planted
in alfalfa, the same land will yield a net
profit of 1890. The further advantage OF
alfalfa is that Il adds to the fertility of
the SOIL
As a milk and butter producer alfalfa
has no superior, and It Is the finest sort
Of fsttening food for all sorts of i've stock.
The village Of Ansiey, Neb, which has
population Of only 100, shipped during the
year from July. 1909, TO July, 1910, some
$4,000 worth of cattle, hogs. sheep ana
horses, all Of them raised and fattened
on the alfalfa lands in that immediate
vicinity. Corn cut some figure in the mat
ter, to be sure, but not approaching the
extent that the grass crop did.
The lands OF the south are peculiarly
fitted for growing alfalfa, and there is
no reason in the world why the farmers
Of this section should not prosper from it
as do their brethren OF the less favored
Nebraska prairies.

Omaha,s Army Headquarters.

There 10 no use trying to disguise
the fact that the proposed rearrange-
ment and reorganization of the mill
tsry departments contemplated by
General Wood as chief-of-staff will
seriously threaten the importance Of
army headquarters at Omaha.
The order as outlined from Wash
ington provides for relocation of the
boundary lines of the department, and
also for a redistribution of the differ
emit branches Of the service as between
departments and divisions. In the
territorial Encouragement Omaha may
possibly be slightly the gamer, but in
taking away and concentrating in Chi
cago all the departmental work now
carried on here. except that of the
commanding general and his aides
and the Quartermaster's service, this
headquarters would be distinctly the,
loser. No suggestion is made that
Omaha is to be Disseminated against
as against other department head
quarters, but the Wood plan estab-
fishes a wholly new distribution of
stan work, with the army administra-
ton centered at division points.
II this plan is to maintain It be-
hooves Omaha to be alert to maintain
the position as army headquarters
which 1t has held from the beginning
for the Department of the Platte, and
later for the Department Of the Mis-
souri,.

In his speech TO the convention of train

characteristic candor and directness on
the question OF trade-union politics and

ployes. The question is practical and vital;
it may become political" and some pub

so Mr.. Taft. He is opposed to the sugges-
tion-now embodied In a pending bill
that the employees OF the state should be
authorized to affiliate with trade unions
and other outside" bodies, and he bluntly
said so, giving his reasons and citing the
sober experience OF the French republic.

was in taking the same position. Their

WHO BUILT DE AHKY

Journal Of American Folklore
The following rhymes seem to be known
by Virginia, Washington, d. c., and Mary
land negroes. The air is accompanied witt
patting and shuffling of the hands and fee
and a swaying motion Of the body Of those
wrapping him or her up" Gas they tern
iD that can best be compared with the
swaying motion of the head Of a Gagged
bear. Every few moments one Of the
wrappers" will jump upwards OF a foot
and cry, "Ah, Iawdr or Wrap hit UP
wrap hit upi" or Gum toe hit, boysl cum
toe hit!' And they will keep this up until
you wonder that both the wrappers" and
the dancers do not collapse with exhaus-
ton. Finally they are spelled" by an
other bunch of darkies; but as soon as
the first set are able they start in again.

Taft at the Zoo.

The president should have picked
visit to the Bronx geological gardens,
where he saw all sorts of animals at
their pranks. A man in his position
needs all the information he can get
on animals and their habits. 1t Is
said he was most interested in ele-
plants. That is not strange at all,
since 1t is with the republican ele-
plant that he has had most to do.
Elephants are very intelligent beasts,
with large brain capacity, some, Of
course, larger than others. They are
also capricious and subject to sudden
changes in mood, 80 that It requires
tact and skill in handling them. =
The reports say that the menagerie
keeper brought bag of sugar to
some OF the elephants to show the
president how he could make them
eat 1t out of his hands. There is q
practical demonstration which, 1t is
to be supposed, was certainly not lost
on Mr.. Taft. Thus far he has not
been able to make as many elephants
eat out of his hand as he might wish,
and there are some in his cage to
which he would never think of ex-
tending a painful Of sugar for fear
of getting his hand bitten off. 1t is a
question II, after all, the zoo keeper
at the Bronx has any elephants to
look after who are more ferocious
than those at Washington become at
times.
