Alarm in San Francisco
Needless, Says Tondorf

San Franciscans are needlessly .eX-

Father Tondorf, meteorological OBJ

Father Tondorf today.

things are likely to cause undue alarm.

from my records the movement was

MEXICAN CAPITAL
HAS new MENACE
IN BIG CAR STRIKE
! Fifteen Hundred Men Quit
Work, and Rioting
Breaks Out.

MEXICO CITY, July 4-The tram
way strike here has become Of the
most serious proportions.
The entire tramway system Of the
federal district is paralyzed, 500 cars are
in the barns and 1.5o0 men are striking
and insist they will remain out until
their demands are conceded.
The company manager, Harro Harr-
sen, conferred with the governor last
night. He informed the governor a de-
cision was impossible until the board
of directors of the Mexican tramways,
a company organized at Toronto, Can
ada, was heard from.
The police were inactive yesterday
and when cars were abandoned crowds
Of the lower classes took possession
While the cars were standing they
kept the air motors running and whis-
ties going, with the result there was a
ace, until late last night, when the po-
lice guards ran the dark cars to the
barns.
Forced President Out.
President De La Barra was forced to
leave the palace early tonight on ac-
count Of the noise. He declined to in
tercede until the district government
had failed to effect a settlement. He
said he would probably intercede in
directly today, especially to the extent
Of commanding the police to maintain
order.
Thirty-seven funerals were delayed
because there are no hearses here, only
funeral cars, and the strikers refused
to run them. The government would
not permit wagons to carry the bodies
to the cemetery, distance Of seven
miles. In consequence, cofnns were car
ried on the shoulders OF cargadores
TIL comfy car running today is the
funeral train Of Filomento Matra, dean
Of Mexican journalists.
Riot Breaks Out.
A riot between strikers and strike
breakers occurred near Indianilla barns
yesterday afternoon. Two strikers were
killed. A boy was killed at Zocalo un-
der car which was being playfulIy
backed by member Of the mob. The
governor stated tonight that the mobs
were being instigated by strikers, al
though no uniforms appeared.
Strikers are appealing to the public
for funds. Already they have sufficient
TO feed the families of 1900 men twenty
five days. The strikers have added to
their demand that $50 men discharged
in connection with the strike movement
be reinstated.

Breakdown Threatens
Madero; Loyal Wife
Shares Heavy Strain

MEXICO CITY, July L-Francisco I.
Madero's pictures do not show the
mental and physical condition Of the
men who is now ruling Mexico. Madero
s on the verge of a physical collapse
n not mental one because OF the great
strain he has been under for months.
Sweet as was his victory at Juarez II
has greatly increased his responsible
ties, and no one in Mexico feels so heav-
fly as he does what these respons-
Utilities are. Moreover, he is worried
because his wife is worrying.
Sonora Madero, a quiet-voiced grave
looking young matron, is terribly afraid
that enemies of her husband will as
Eassinate him, and the dynamite plot
frustrated because prematurely discov-
cred the day before Madero's arrival in
Mexico City alarmed his wife. Madero
fears no danger.
Madero spends much Of the time in
the company of his father, Francisco l.
Madero, 81, and he also greatly values
the counsel of his brother, Gustavo Ma
dero. who are shown with the new
ruler Of Mexico in the group picture
above.
On the young man. Gustavo, immense
problems have descended by virtue of
the office his brother put him into. the
ministry Of finance. Everyone knows
what measures were adopted to enrich
their own pockets and to defraud the
country by the past administration
through some of its satellites at least.
1t is no secret in Mexico that Fran
cisco Madero owes his present proud
position largely to the sympathy and
counsel OF his wife, and the money she
brought to him by the marriage greatly
helped. The Maderos spent their own
money freel- in the cause of the reyo-
luton but If 1t had not been for the
wife the funds would have run short
It is due largely to Sonora Madero that
her husband became a student of the
problems of his country. Men who
knew Madero only a few years ago are
astonished at the transition wrought by
this frafl figure

ships, buildings, etS., buys lota Of
paper, lots Of furniture, lots of claeh-
ing for the army, lots of guns, lots of
coal, and many other things. Why
shouldn't it go into the business of
manufacturing steel, paper, furniture
clothing, ETC.? The argument is
stronger in these cases than in that of
printing, because these industries are
largely controlled by trusts and an un-
fairly fat profit has to be paid.
The self satisfied, and in that respect
easily satisfied, business man who
uses the Cheap John looking envelopes
turned out by the government Office
will perhaps reply that the business is
profitable. If this were true it
wouldn't settle the question, for it
might be profitable to branch out into
the other lines mentioned, but it isn't
true. During the past year the work
turned out was valued at So, 300, 900,
and the cost of running the establish
ment was 1856, 1913. If we take into
account rent, interest on investment
and depreciation of plant, expense of
which comes out of the public treas
ury, we see that there was not only
no profit but large loss.
Don't think, Mr.. Business Man, that,
because you get of Uncle Sam sloppy
bunch Of envelopes for slightly less
than your local printer would charge
for neatly printed article, that your
Uncle is doing the work cheaper than
the private printer. To begin with, as
has been shown, Uncle Sam loses on
the printing; second, he charges moth
ing for transportation from Washing
ton to the point of delivery, charging
that item up to the postoffice depart
ment; third, he gees to the expense of
getting out advertising literature and
uses the postoffice to distribute it, ad-
vertising the cheapness of his en-
velopes. Thus there are three distinct
items of loss on every envelope he
SELLS An individual who would CON
duct his business in that way would be
examined for his sanity, yet people
stand for that sort of thing on the
part of Uncle Sam because it gives
them chance to get 14th century

fha modern prO6uct

years that one would hafalF EXPECT
reform proposition to originate
there, but the unexpected frequently
happens. The legislature had before
itan employers liability measure, and
being in some doubt as to it's constltu-
tionality, the bill was sent to the SUI
preme court with request for It's
opinion on it's validity. The court ex-
pressed it's opinion that the measure
conformed to constitutional provisions,
and it was then passed. If such a
practice were generally adopted 1t
would prevent the littering of the
statutes with laws that are afterward
thrown into the scrap heap by the
courts, and would save individuals the
expense of litigating questions OF con-
stitutionality. Of course such ar
opinion isn't absolutely binding ever
on the court that gives it, but it al
least shows the attitude of the existing
court.

of Commons on"the bill to reduce the
power of the House of Lords, the
Conservatives, who are the Standpat-
tiers of John Bulls tight little island,
howled and Kissed and hooted for more
than an hour. Mr. Balfour, Conservative
leader, answered the prime minister,
and was listened to with silent respect.
All of which shows that while the
English Standpatter is more vulgar
and obstreporous than our own variety,
at bottom their nature is very similar
1t is characteristic of the class that
they will not meet argument with ar
gument, but habitually resort to in
vective. slurs and sneers. The man
who suggests a change in existing
systems is pounced upon as an enemy
of property. 1t is safe rule that the
system that inspires such defense is
wrong.

Alfalfa has been doing especially
we'll on farms this year. There is a
striking difference between that grown
with nurse crop and that grown
without. In fact, on some fields where
q nurse crop has been used the crop
has been practically killed out.
The most successful plan has been
to pillow the land in the fall and manure
it we'll. 1t also receives a good har-
rowing at this time to destroy what
weeds start. In the spring the land is
narrowed about every ten days to keep
the weeds down until about June /
when lime is applied. The seed is in
oculated and sown the first week OF
June, 20 to rs pounds seed per acre be-
ing used. This work which is proving
so beneficial to farmers is fully de-
scribed in University Bulletin 208.
