FROM OTHER PENS
MExICAN LOVE FEAsT.


Developments in Mexico are coming
with kaleidoscope rapidity. General
Madero has dissipated all opposition as
if by magic wand. Alarms were sound
ed involving the popular General
Reyes as possibly successful oppon-
ent of Madero at the POLL, involving
also the Cientihcos and tile bombastic
General Figuero with his victorious
army of the South. But we wake up
one morning and find that the lion,
General Reyes, has lain down with the
torro, MaderO, while the fire. eating
Figuero has condescended to eat out of
the same platter. De La Barra is to be
his secretary of war. Figuero is to be
given post of honor. Eduardo Hay is
lionized. General Garibaldi, the Ital-
ian. has q high post in sight. General
Viljoen, the Boer, has still on hand the
task of suppressing the trreconcilables
under Bandera in Lower California.
The cadets at Chapultepec have
shaken Madero's hand, and the latter
is to make peace orations in the South,
where F'iguero and the earthquake
both operated.
This is what one might call getting
together. 1t augurs we'll for peace and
stability. It is a rapid reconstruction.
But there is q hint here that If peace
has been made so easily with the pow
erful leaders like De La Bara and
Reyes, theremay not be so much con-
templated in the direction of popular
reforms as was at first limited at. Also
we are not to be treated to a fair illus
tration of a Mexican election without
bayonets, in case Madero is to be I'M
opposed.-Detroit News.
WORLDWIDE RAILROAD BOOM.
The United States has such signal
lead over all other countries Ia eiiroad
mileage that we can afford TO view
with complacency the statement that
other parts of the world, including
China and Africa. are now giving us
the go-by in new construction, Stats
tics covering all the rail- Dads through
out the world at the close OF 1909 show
that the United States has approx
mately as much mileage as Europe and
Asia combined, and also that the New
World combined has $4,000 miles more
than the Old, thus afford.ng better IA
cilities for communication and traffic
for its 115,0OO,OOO inhabitants than
the 1850, 100000 of the Old World can
boast.
The recent severe check on expan-
sion which the United States system of
lines received may put us further down
the list as to proportionaee increase,
but even should construction come to a
standstilI our supremacy could not
be threatened in many Year, to come.
This comparison conveys good idea
of the proportions the railway system
of the world may some day attain, and
as the United States probably will
double the present mileage eventually,
a corresponding fullness of develop
ment elsewhere will make the present
total of 625,00O miles for the world
look rather insignificant And as for
the item of capital invested in the end,
| the amount will have scared out of
100000, considerable as the sum looks

The man or woman who is capable
of growing old gracefully is adding
much to the joy and comfort of others
Too many there are who seem to think
that with the coming of old age they
are entitled to special privileges and
that the world around them should
conform to their rules and regulations,
no matter how irksome they may be.
In the home they frown upon the
chatter of the children; they put their
foot down on innocent amusem ents
and because when the sun goes down
they deem it necessary to seek slumber
they demand that everyone in the
household should follow their ex-
ample and that absolute silence should
prevail. They wonder Why they fail
to find the love and the attention they
deem their due, and they come to the
conclusion the world is growing worse
and that youth no longer respects old
age. If they would only be just in es-
timating their own failings they would
soon learn their error. The pleasures
and the privileges which we sought in
youth are the ones that youth seeks
what We asked for in the long ago;
enter with them into their pleasures,
nurse their ambitions and give kindly
tolerance to their innocent boisterous-
ness and see how quickly they will re-
Spond to your advances and seek your
hair should not be permitted to chill
the heart. Grow old gracefully and
the way to do it is to take pleasure in
the life, the youth and the blessings
all around You and endeavor to con-
form to the spirit of your surroundings
instead of trying to make the world
your abject slave.-MarySville Advo-
cate-D Democrat.
COMMON SENSE AND MOTORING.
Massachusetts and Connecticut have
abolished statutory regulations as to
the speed which autos may run and
prosecutions hereafter will be under
the common law, applying the rule
Of reason" Whether or not an auto
was run at a dangerous rate of speed
will be a question for the jury under
the rules applicable to negligence. The
minimum of speed of six miles under
most statutes might be a highly dan
gerous one in a street or neighborho God
filled with children. yet the reckless
motorist might get off by pleading the
statute in bar.
Considered the other way, a high
rate of speed, even double the statu-
tory limits, might be without danger,
except to the riders, upon long
stretches of country where there are
few pedestrians and little traffic. Mo-
florists in the states named will have
to observe as much care as heretofore
In civil actions for dangers, however
the prosecutor will have to prove not
only excessive speed, but that some one
person or other was endangered. The
application of the rule will discour-
age careleSsness and do much to curb
the impudent drivers.-Salina Union.
