Boys and Work.
From the Atlantic.


It is the verdict of many close observers
that our boys do not work hard enough.
This does not mean necessarily that they
are lazy. but rather that they have not
acquired what may be called the habit of
work. In this respect the city boy is at
a disadvantage, for there is nothing to
equal the farm chores as a means of de-
veloping habits Of hard work. OF course.
there are city boys who do chores and
are encouraged by their parents to form
habits of industry: but for the most part.
especially in the so-called well-to-do
classes. the boys chief aim in life is the
pursuit of pleasure, with useful work and
study tolerated by him as unimportant
side issues. 1t is a great pity that SO
many things which used to be looked upon
as the proper work for the boy are now
thought to be beneath his dignity and
are performed by servants or left undone.
Again, the development of fiat life. the
janitor system and kindred metropolitan
Improvement" have all helped in the
emancipation Of the boy from useful
labor. The result 10 that most OF our
boys lack that habit of industry which

Chances Improving For the

ZAPATA MENACES
NEW LEADERSHIP
Revolutionist Forces Madero To
Test Of Strength-Result To
Be Known Soon.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 19.-Wlth the
elections in Mexico less than six
weeks off, Francisco I. Madero is
facing a crisis in his career today.
with a new revolution threatening the
administration that he instituted. His
party is divided, and all indications
, point to the election of Bernardo
Reyes as President.
Bernardo Reyes and Francisco I.
Madero have always been more or
less friendly in a social way, but have
likewise always been enemies in the
turbid politics of the Mexican repub-
lio. General Reyes is a Diaz man; al
ways has been. Mr. Madero was the
head and front of the revolutionary
movement that drove Diaz from the
country. Since the days of the revo-
tuition a reaction has set in in the
easily disturbed temperament OF the
Mexicans, and sentiment Is running
strong against Madero. There seems
20 be but little doubt that the people
Will use the political freedom that
Mr.. Madero gave them to oust him
from power
General Zapata's Position.
Both General Reyes and Mr. Madero
feel the Importance that rests upon
the Zapata revolt in the state of Nor
elias. General Zapata has always Cp-
posed Mr.. Madero. Recently he chal-
lenged the Madero administration to
force Of arms. Yesterday his follow
ers engaged the fcderals in battle and
Mr.. Madero is now rushing to the front
20 take personal charge of the stu
alton. Meanwhile General Reyes is Sit
ting back cult'vating the sentiment for
his election. Should Mr.. Madero rout
General Zapata's forces he will win
votes from the conservatives, but the
gain will be slight. Should General
Zapata worst the federals It would
mean Mr.. Madero's loom as a leader
General Reyes Is strongly favored by
the aristocratic classes and the con-
servative people feel that he would dueIl
all lawlessness with force, and bring
about a state OF peace. 1t is charged
against Mr.. Madero that he is not
strong enough to hold the state and
municipal leaders in check, and that the
slightest proNocation means revolution
with them. The election of General
Reyes will be a partial restoration OF
the Diaz government.
Anti-Madeust Movement.
The entire state of Moreas, with the
exception Of the city of Cuernavaca, has
risen against Mr.. Madero. and serious
fighting is feared. The Morelans are
following General Zapata, almost to
man, and they are strongly barricaded
in all the smaller cities and towns
A wagon train OF sixty burros, carry
ing field guns and ammunition, were
started from Cuernavaca for Cuautla
this morning under heavy escort.
Mr.. Madero is on his way to the
front to lead the federal troops in their
effort to oust General Zapata and his
forces that have defed the federals

REVENUE CUTTERS
ARE ENFORCING NEW
MOTOR BOAT LAW
i
Thousands of Small Graft
Boarded in Search for
Violations.

Thousands of motor boats along the

being boarded and examined by officers
of the Revenue Cutter Service to dis
cover II the owners or operators have
complied with the provisions Of the aci
of June 9, 1910. regulating the equip
ment of such craft.
In many cases delinquency has been
found, and there will be prosecutions
but most reports so far received at the
headquarters Of the service in the
Treasury Department, indicate that
violations spring chiefly from ignorance,
and it is expected that whatever penalty
is imposed will in the end be mitigated,
Many Of the boats plying in Washing
ton waters have been boarded and ex-
amined by the cutter service men.
Under the act a motor boat is any
vessel propelled by machinery, and not
more than siXty-flve feet in length. ex-
cept tug boats and tow boats, propelled
by steam.
The act imposes many new require
ments, especially upon small gasolene
motor boats. These comprise regula-
tions as to lights, life-preservers,
whistle, bell and fog-horn, means for
extinguishing fires, and as to the icens-
were made to apply to private vessels

The general provisions for lights are

provided, however, that boats Of class

A life preserver must be carried for
each person on a vessel carrying pas
sengers for hire. The fog-horn and
other signal apparatus must be Of such
kind as to enable the operator OF the
boat to comply with requirements as to
signals in clear or thick weather.
II was reported today that one reve-
nue. cutters officials and boarded more
than 500 motor boats in Long Island
sound, while on the Pacific coast several
thousand have been examined. The pen
aIty for violation of the law Is a fine
of 500, but It may be remitted by the
Secretary Of Commerce and Labor.
All violations of the law must be re-
ported to the Secretary, however, re-
gardless of circumstances, as he alone
has power and authority to revoke fines.
