Orozco and Madero

The people in Western Chihuahua and Eastern Sonora have risen against Orozco, Madero's forces are pressing him hard, and he has no money and no ammunition. He will soon disappear, together with his once victorious army, from the scene of Mexican affairs.
 His fate was sleaed when President Taft gave President Madero the right to import arms and ammunition and denied this right to any rebel army. The action of the home government is wholly consistent with international law. The recognized government of country should have the moral sup port at least of other countries. Re- bellion, in other words, should not be encouraged. The fall of Orozco be- came assured when this action was taken. Madero has the best of long range guns and plenty of them, and he will soon restore peace and law and order to Mexico.
 It is announced, too, that Madero will not treat with Orozco or Zapata He will fight them down and out, and then he will no doubt proceed to bring in as fast as he can secure the, as- sent of the Mexican congress the va rious reforms he promised the people before his election. This programme includes more school houses and re lief from the jefe politicos-the fee brigade-of Mexico.

THE REST oE ALL

| From the Boston Herald.
 | Oscar ". Underwood of Alabama ought to have the democratic nomination for the presidency. Champ Clark of Missouri should not be considered. Since the coun- try is apparently approaching a consid- erable realignment of it's party forces, it is pre-eminently time for the democrats to put their best foot forward, preparing to make the largest possible use of the opportunity which circumstances seem likely to give them.
 l Underwood has been the real leader of tho House of Representatives. He has conducted himself with ability, dignity and patriotism. Champ Clark has been the more or less ornamental figurehead, with whose name no important measures have ever been attached. His only real achievement in the Congress over which he has presided was to make character istic remark which completely ended all possibility of Canadian reciprocity.
 Underwood is at all times a gentleman; his equipment for official position is ex- ceptionally good, and what is more inn portant by temperament he is fitted for the presidency. Although representing a southern district, to which he went after graduation from the law school, his birth place was on the banks of the Ohio, in the state which gave the republican party its first President, and in the armies of the Union Underwood's family rendered conspicuous service.
 Champ Clark's record in the sixties was such that he has since felt obliged to vote for most lavish pension disbursements as given his support to other grab and com bine enterprises with which our politics has been infested. He has been an avowed spoilsman.
 The democrats have other possibilities. These may be grouped as superior to Clark, without exception, but more or less inferior to Underwood. Bryan, for in- stance, is much to be preferred to Clark. So is our own governor, who would force no greater innovations in the affairs of nations than he has attempted on Beacon Hill. at least in proportion to the con trasting scope of the two realms. Wood row Wilson has many earnest admirers, and would doubtless run well in this part of the country
 But the one best name for the demo- crats to put on their banners is that of Underwood. And patriotic citizens, re- gardless of party tie or election day ex- peotations, should hope to see each of the great political organizations make it's one wisest choice.

NEW DUST PREVENTION

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Considerable importance attaches to the experimental sprinklng now being unoer- taken in Clifton. Calcium chloride is the material. It is sbeing spread by means of vehicle not unlike a planting machine. A white layer of crushed particles of the material, having at first the appearance Of a surface of salt, immediately com mences its work of absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and thus permanent
 y doing the work of Q daily sprnlIling of water. Those who have had the curl osity to note the result of the process of tho action over night have observed in the morning that the street abounds in globules of moisture spread over the sur face like large beads of precipitation. The idea is that this coating shall become permanent and that there shall be no up- rising of dust from the ordinary surface of the macadam.
 There is hopeful anticipation of good re- suits from this new process of dust pre- vention. If it is successful 1t will be of great benefit in the improvement over the oil sprinkling of the past. whichyhas been a nuisance to vehicles, to shoes of pedes- trians, to the feet of horses and to tx, steps and floors of residences and other houses.
 The promoters of this process claim for it that one sprinlxling will last through the summer, and that certainly not more than two applications to the season Will be necessary.

BRIGAND,s DRAMATIC END

From Current Literature for June.
 Bonnot was taken He was taken alive.
 In a half hour he was dead. It was all
 part of the greatest thrill Paris has had
 since the commune. Thus. the Temps in-
 troduces the epic. Paris wept with joy, we read to be delivered The citizens did
 what they have not thought of doing since
 the great revolution. They embraced in
 the streets and they wept. They repeated the bulletins of the day, "Bonnot is sur
 rounded" "Bonnot is besieged. "They have opened fire on Bonnot" "They dyn- amte Bonnot" There was a supreme ecstasy to come. "Bonnot is talxenr' (We still follow the French daily) Then the agony: Bonnot had refused to live, re- fused to be tried, to be convicted, to be guillotined. Bullets were hailing upon the garage in which he had been trapped when Bonnot, with a fountain pen and a sheet of wrapping paper, made his will. "I am a celebrated character" he began. France is trumpeting my fame to the four quarters of the globe. The renown Ebestowed upon my humble person would i'll with jealousy all who, seeking fame, fail to achieve it.' He wrote some words or eAculpaIon or dlleSeu accOnpnceS. Must 1 regret what l have done?" he put in next Possibly If I must con- true, I do so in spite of my regret must live out my life. All men have the right to live. Your issotic and crim- inal society presumes to forbid my dong so. So much the worse for it." His foun- tain pen gave out.

Eighty Years Old

This is the age of the two-thirds rule in democratic national conven- tions. It was first adopted in 1882 when General Jackson was nominated in the first convention of the party, and each succeeding convention has adopted it. Van Buren was nomi- mated under that rule in 1886 and again in 1840, when he was defeated by General Harrison. In 1844 this adroit New York politician was again an aspirant, and he was by far the leader in the race. A determined ef- fort was made in this year to set aside the two-thirds rule, but it was at length adopted, the vote being 148 to 116. James K. Polk, whose name was not mentioned in the first seven ballots, became the nominee, and was elected. In 1852 the rule resulted in the nomination of dark horse, Franklin Pierce, who was easi- ly elected.
 The condition of parties resembles that of 1844. The whig party under Tyler was as widely discredited as the republican party is today under Mr. Taft. Henry Clay was nomi- mated by the whigs in 1844, and he certainly was as popular as Roose- welt is today. James K. Polk readily won, and the two-thirds rule is need ed this year and this month in order to bring the democrats together. They can select a nominee who will as wide a support as ex- Speaker Polk did in 1844, and the two-thirds rule will probably compel them to do this very thing. The rule has always worked well. In no in- stance has it brought on the party an unworthy nominee. The campaign of 1860 was a part of the civil war and was no real exception to the rule. In times of peace it has compelled the party to agree upon it's best man, and this is what it will no doubt do at Baltimore.

demonstrators and their methods should be adopted. The subsoil blow should follow the breaking blow, and every cultivated acre should be stirred from a depth of 12 inches to the sur face. The lax methods of the big plantation are antiquated and waste ful. Intensive farming has come to stay, and in intensive farming deep ploughing and freer fertilization are necessarily included.
 In Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky-all in the southeast there are now two million farms. When this number is doubled and all the farms are we'll cultivated, the south will begin to reach its plain possibilities. When this time comes no corn will be imported, and cotton will become a strictly surplus crop. Every dollar of cotton money will then go into the farmers pocket, and no one will have a lien upon it.

 WEEPING EASY FOR HIM

From Lippincott's Magazine.
 The only photographer in certain Kan sas town not long ago received call from a tall cadaverous man, who, after a mournful survey of the studio, observed that the picture man did not appear to possess the necessary properties for the kind of photograph the cadaverous per son wanted.
 Upon being pressed to state his wants. the man said:
 "I want a picture of myself weeping beside my wife's grave. Could you. here in the shop, fix up grave for me?"
 The photographer responded that he feared he lacked the necessary parapner- nalia, adding. in a facetious way, that perhaps it might be arranged to procure the desired picture at the grave itself
 The tall person sighed "rhe grave is in Missouri, he said. Tt would be too ex- persive to make the trip there. Couldn t you fix up some kind of a grave here that I could weep on? It is very little trouble for me to weep anywhere"

Southern Colleges

There has been a decided increase ir
 interest in college education in the south
 within the past 10 years.' said profes- sional man.
 In the cities public school education has been developed along strong and help ful lines, but there are many men who aspire to high scholarship, or technical education. and to such as these the col
 leges and universities are more inviting
 now than ever.
 Tn Alabama the institutions of higher learning have been especially prosperous during the past scholastic year. The Uni Verslty of Alabama is growing in popu-
 larity and the Polytechnic institute at Auburn has made new high record, both
 in the number of students and in achieve
 ment. The ideals become higher and higher
 T have read a number of baccalaureate
 sermons recently, and all of them have been wholesome and inspiring. The Rev. pr. Plunket's sermon at the university
 last Sunday week was, I thought, mas
 terful and stimulating and I have heard others speak of 1t in high terms. It is most encouraging to see the in
 terest taken among different classes of well to do people in college education.
 Real culture was certainly never so much
 appreciated as 1t Is now, and never has
 there been so much striving for it. The
 outlook for the school year of 1912-13 Is
 unusually bright"

Two Slush Funds Instead of One

At Patterson, N. J., Colonel Roose- welt said he was in favor of a pro- tective tariff. He then indulged in a vein of demagogry, the burden of it being that more of the fruits of pro- lection should go to labor and less to capital. He was addressing working men. But he said enough to convince manufacturers that he would support in the White House a protective tar if while he would oppose revenue tariff.
 The meaning of his tariff policy at the present time is plain-he wants a campaign fund of huge proportions made up by manufacturers, and the indications are that he will get it.
 When this is supplemented with a slush fund direct from the trusts and Wall street, the Rooseveltian cam paign of 1904 will be duplicated in 
 aggravated form. 1t will be in full bloom, and Hartman will be out done and outclassed, for he raised but a quarter of a million of dollars on the very eve of the election to be used in the slums of New York. liar riman afterward boasted that the money turned 50,000 votes.
 Will the plain people vote for the Master Demagogue who is planning to gather a vast slush fund from the trusts and tariff beneficiaries It is incredible. The entire story of the Roosevelt Hartman fund of 1904 should be retold, and it will be.

now before the newest creation of Puc cini's genius is put before it's public.
 There will be equal grounds for sur prise in the fact that during the season which has just come to an end Mas cagnis latest opera, Isabeau.' was sung IS times. This was the largest number of representations allotted to any opera there. The Metropolitan Opera house has not announced Isabeau. and New York CTS have indeed but faint hope of hear ing the work. Only one opera by Pletro Mascagni ever achieved any success here 'cavalleria Rusticana' still holds the stage, Tn every other country of the world this one act opera has held It's place.

Some Italian composers

Music lovers in this country will doubtless find occasion for surprise in the announcement that The Girl of the Gold en West opera by the famous Italian composer Giacomo Puccini is to be sung for the first time at La Scala. says a writer in the New York Sun. This latest opera of Puccinis is now two years old
 IL has. to be sure, found its greatest success when Signor Caruso was on hand to sing the leading role He went to Rome last spring when the opera was sung there in the series of gala repre- sensations in connection with the Italian exposition as a specimen of what the contemporaneous school of composers in Italy is accomplishing. But Milan, the foremost operatic city of the composers s country, has been satisfied to wait until
