THE DOWNFALL OF FELIX DIAZ.

Sincere wellwishers Of the Mexican republic, and
likewise all Americans who hope that our response
biltes for territories formerly controlled by Spain
may not be expanded will rejoice at the sudden COL
lapse Of the revolt Of Gen. Felix Diaz, ceherng in
Vera Cruz. When the Orozco rebellion in northern
Mexico lost its force some weeks ago, it was rec
ognized that a grave menace to the Madero power
had been removed. Orozco was backed by the SYM
pahies IL not the money Of the cientihcos who for
mery backed PorHrio Diaz. No sooner had the Oroz-
CO movement Aickered than these plotters against
Madero turned their energies in a new direction, with
the result that the Vera Cruz campaign was planned
1t was plainly the purpose to seize Vera Cruz Tam
pico, and Matamoras, thus controlling the Gulf term
nal Of all direct railway routes to the City Of Mexico
bottng up the capital, and forcing foreign nterven
tion The name Of Diaz was expected yet to possess
some magic, and announcement came, Immediately
after the initial success Of the Vera Cruz uprising
that the former dictator backed the new revolt.
The loyalty Of the federal army to Madero was
doubted and it was very generally believed that
President Madero would fail to maintain himself.
The contrary has now proved true. The same day 5
dispatches bring accounts Of the reconquest Of Vera
Cruz, the capture Of Daz himself and defeat Of the
remnants of the Orozco forces in Chihuahua.
Francisco Madero has now pretty we'll demonstra-
ted his capacity. He drove Poririo Diaz out, he put
down the Reyes uprising and he has crushed Orolco
and Felix Diaz. Plainly he commands larger 10y
atty Of the soldiery and the citizenry than anybody
else is able to boast.
But that is not all When Madero became Presi-
dent he made some sad mistakes. He trusted too
many officials Of the old regime, and expected them
to cooperate with him for the good of the common
country. He has been disappointed in so many that
he is taking fewer chances now. Moreover, when he
became President Madero found hostile c3rgress
confronting him. He had promised reforms, looking
to the taxation Of unused lands, the breaking up, by
this procedure Of vast holdings and giving the peo-
pie chance at the soil. The hostile congress stood
in the way OF immediate realization Of these benev-
olent plans, and the ignorant masses, Demanding
instant realization of their hopes were filed with
murmurings, and suspicion that Madero was betray-
ing them.
The people, however, have wabbled right. In the
elections, the past summer, for new congress, Ma
dero has won. The congress that organized month
or So ago contains working majority Of supporters
Of the President IT is stated. With something like
order restored in the north and on the coast, and
with the governments hands free to deal vigorously
with the Zapata brigandage in the south, Madero
ought to have fair chance now, for the first time,
to do some serious work on his program of reforms.

AVIATION NEUROLOGY.

With the death Of German army officer and
. passenger riding in his biplane, Germany now
equals the United States on the aviation death roll
with total Of forty-three France leads, with sixty
one fatalities, and England comes fourth, with twen-
ty-one. The grim story covers the whole world.
Even China is represented by the death Of her
pioneer aviator which took place two months ago at
Canton.
The roll is generally recognized as beginning
with the death of Lieutenant Sefridge the American
officer who went up with Orville Wright at Fort
Myer, Virginia, in the early days Of flying. OF the
four women named in the roll two were Americans,
and one Of these met her fate in Boston last
summer under extremely pitiful circumstances. The
roll now includes 2O4 Names

AN ABSENT.MINDED PARKER.
Alton B. Parker Is quoted by the New York Times
as saying in regard to 1904 campaign funds:

Alton B. Parker is quoted by the New York Times
as saying in regard to 1904 campaign funds:
The Sunday before election long statement
was printed in the newspapers, in which Colonel
Roosevelt discussed the subject from his own
point Of view, but he never actually denied the
truth of what said.
There was general impression that denial
was made by Colonel Roosevelt but that
wrong impression.
What Mr.. Parker said in November, 1904, was
in effect (as Mr. Roosevelt said at the tme) that the
President and Chairman Cortelyou were "in con-
spiracy to blackmail corporations, Mr.. Cortelyou
using his knowledge gained while he was Secretary
of the Department of Commerce and Labor to ex-
tort money from the corporations and |, the Pres-
dent having appointed him for this special purpose.
II Mr.. Parkers memory were not so feeble he
would recall that the withering reply Of President
Roosevelt to the charge of blackmailing corporations
was given on Friday before election, 1904, and that
on the following day. Saturday, November s, Judge
Parker failed miserably to back up his charges
failed indeed, to reterate them, and retired from
the meeting in Brooklyn, where he was expected to
produce proofs in very bad order.
All he could weakly say then was what President
Roosevelt had freely admitted, that the Republican
campaign was in receipt Of contributions, the same
as the Democratic campaign Again, when sum-
moned recently by the Senate committee to produce
the basis for his charges in 1904, he referred the
committee to dead man, Daniel S. Lamont, as his
authority for the reckless charge Of eight years ago
against Roosevelt and Cortelyou.
The lashing that Judge Parker got from Theo-
dore Roosevelt in November, 1904 should have left
scars making it impossible for him to forget the i'm
pressive occasion. He ought to remember the fog
ging that Roosevets denial gave him, his backdown
in Brooklyn the next night and the complete collapse
Of his already tottering campaign as the result.
If Mr.. Parker has forgotten any detail of this
most dramatic incident in the history of Presidential
contests it would not be amazing il he had forgotten
$45O,O0o contribution from big corporation di.
rector week after he heard Of it. 1t would be only
natural IL he forgot to salute Thomas Fortune Ryan
on meeting him in the club He would forget the
time when the left hind foot Of mule struck him
fairly in the jaw. .=.~

THE STRIKE OF HOTEL EMPLOYEES.

Whether there would have been any grievances
on the part of Washington hotel and cafe employees
against their employers, II there had not been a
series of strikes Of This kind in New York, Is very
doubtful The troubles here seem to represent in
fection from New York, through the activities Of the
walking delegate.
There has been threat Of such an outbreak for
some time. but no evidence of effort to reach ad-
justmen and avoid trouble. Therein the strikers have
failed to recognize the importance Of earning the
good will Of the public If they had real and sufficient
grievances and, having them if they had made their
case understood and had exhausted all reasonable ef
forts to secure an adjustment they would have stood
better.
Nowadays, the public is regarded as the most
important party in interest in sucn matters. 1t is
not to be lightly deprived of its food its COAL its
transportation service, merely because employers
and employees elbow it out of the way to make room
for their quarres The strike whose leadership fails
to recognize this necessity of appealing for Public
sympathy, has poor chance to succeed

LA FOLLETTE'S BLANK BALLOT.

Of leadership cannot be excused for neglecting the
duty Of citizen, but the obligation not to shirk is
manifold upon leader of men.
