! was there four years ago. when
met Zelaya-a quick, shrewd, cum
ming, fearless man, with close-cropped
black hair. Having seen him, l be-
lieved the stories l heard Of him
and some of them were wonderful
stories, indeed. He was no doubt a
great rogue and probably a brutal
one; but found nothing sinister
about the man, as there was about
Castro. of Venezuela.
He really did great things for his
country, not, Of course, forgetting
himself For 16 years he maintained
rare state Of comparative peace, and
encouraged foreign capital to the stu
pendous profit of the investor and Ze-
laya. The country, extraordinarily
rich, under his rule received unprece-
dented development. His financial
genius. however, was confined to the
crude sandbag method and the more
the country prospered, the poorer the
people became. Ultimately Zelaya
fell victim to that disease so fatal to
Latin-American dictators-the idea
that the United States can be bluffed
forever.
also knew his partisan and sue
cessor Doctor Madriz-a shy, studi-
ous-looking, be-spectacled little man
with mild, agreeable manners. He
was a scholar and clever lawyer,
but he lacked the magnetism of Ze-
leya. His purposes were excellent,
but he had no chance to carry them
out; the taint of his association with
zelaya was his undoing. No one will
ever distinguish him with any of the
thousand legends which still cling to
the memory of the great dictator.

It Is a sort of feud that will die out
only with the extension of CONNER

of commercial intercourse demands
reace and security of government
for its establishment upon any sure
foundation. So, far, the vast unex.

offered such alluring profits, in spite
of everything, that the Nicaraguans
are alive to no necessity for a com.
