TO QUIT MEXICO.
American Employees of Mexican Cen
trail to Withdraw.

San Antonio, March 16.-That American
railroad men employed on the Mexican
National railway are to- be withdrawn
from Mexico because of disturbed condi-
lions there is the report resulting from
the assembling of u engineers and con-
ductors in secret session. c. r. Hudson.
vice president of the Mexican Central
railroad, is here.
No Use for La Rarra.
Mexico City, March 16.-The message
sent yesterday to senior De La Barra,
formerly provisional president of Mexico,
over the signature of 10 members of the
progressive constitutional party urging
him not to return to Mexico, is quoted in
the Nueva Era, Madero organ, today.
The paper says:
1.-The signers of the message do not ex-
pect their exhortation to be needed by
Francisco De La Barra- What they de
sire is to go on record before the world
as having attempted to avoid further ag-
gravasaon of the ills which afflict the
country We are convinced that all that
Senior De La Barra can contribute is to
augment the evil state of the country
through the tntrigues of his parusans, to
excite the ambitions of militant Catholics
in politics and to strengthen the absurd
pretense that Madero is incapable of ad-
Tninistering the affairs of the country and
that Senior De La Barra is the only fit
one
These follow many charges as to the
fnsufffciencies of De La Barra and a state
ment that if he is a patriot he Will not re-
turn to compIicate the situation.

on Telegram to Taft.

T. Blakeslee, a prominent Republican
of southeastern Kansas, who lives at

ing telegram Friday:
Neodesha, Kan, March 16, 1912.
Hon. Walter Roscoe Stubs, Governor,
Topeka, Kan.
1 have read your telegram to the
president of the United States, publish
ed yesterday. As it has been the Gus
tom of the party to elect delegates tC
the national conventions by the system
you now SO bitterly condemn, is it no.
a rather sweeping reflection upon the
intelligence and manhood of say 95 pcr
cent of the Republican voters of the
state who have permitted themselves
to be thus uncomplainingly disfran-
chised for 80 years, and it remained
for you, a man who took no interest
in politics for 40 years, or until vol
became wealthy and have been a per-
sistent seeker after and holder of of
fee since your interest was awakened,
to point out to the plain common peo-
pie this long continued outrage.
My dear governor, you are so limo
cent of political guile that during your
last campaign there was not so much
as a green corn" dance anywhere
in the state that there was not some
pure food or coal oil inspector in your
interest.
In conclusion, as a Republican who
expects to vote for the nominee of the
Chicago convention, in my opinion
about 50 per cent of the Republicans IN
Kansas are getting very tired of so
much grand standing business
As you send your important COM
munications to the president by wire,
hence this telegram to you.

A BOUNTY ON HEDGEHoGs.
New Hampshire Offers Reward for
Unknown Animal.

The state of New Hampshire pays a
bounty on hedgehogS. In eight town
ships the slaughter of 1866 of the
animals was certified to recently in
one day. and s337 in money was paid
out as a reward of merit.
In one little corner of the fairly big
state of New Hampshire 1865 hedge
hogs have been killed, and this pre-
seuts q curious fact" of natural his
tory. Until the reports came in
scientists had supposed that there was
not a hedgehog in the United States.
We are willing to brave contradiction,
and say that the scientists are right,
and that there is not hedgehog. in
this country outside of the geological
gardens. The New Hampshire people
who are willing to pay bounties for
willing to earn money by killing them,
have been directing their financial
and shotgun attentions to the porcu-
pine, which is no more hedgehog
than it is bison. If the New Hamp-
shire law says ''hedgehogs," the men
who bring in the porcupines- ought
not be allowed to collect cent
New Hampshire always has been
long on bounty laws. 1t has paid out
money for wolf scalps. bear hides,
hawk heads, and grasshoppers. The
porcupine eats the bark of cOniferouS
trees, and thereby is supposed to do
a lot of damage The hedgehogs. of
which we have none, are insect eat
ers harmless little beasts, which 1t
ought to be a pleasure to let live.
Porcupines may do some damage, to
the trees. but they are picturesque and
interesting, and they have a place in
the economy of nature. We hope be-
fore the tribe has been annihiSS ted
that some one in the White Mountain
state will make test of the law
which says hedgehogs, when it means
porcupines, and thereby make a tech
nicality. which, as a general thing, we
in no wise believe in, prove for once
in a lawyers life to be a good thing.

Chicago, March 16.-The selection
