THE MEXICAN MIDDLE.

Even those who have had time 10
follow closely the news dispatches
| re lating to the latest revolution III
Mexico have found cause to wonder
what il was all about, and reason
to conclude that in that FESTIVE coun-
try periodical revolution is more
or less inevitable under any circum-
stances.
The complaints against the Made
70 government have now been set
forth BY Orozco's three commission
ers to the United States. The COM
p;aint in general is one of broken
faith, but only three specific charges
OF any importance are made.
The first of these is that after he
succeeded in bringing about the
downfall of DiaZ and the dictator
"prcsident" had fled the country,
Madero 'intimidated Congress into
calling an election at such an early
date as to prevent any opposition
and also intimidated the people and
crushed out all opposition. Mill
tary conquerors have done such
things many times, but MaderO
would have been very foolish to re-
sort to such methods so soon, and
the probability is that he did not.
for, according to the news dispatches
at the time. he was saluted every /
where as a hero and was the choice |
OF practically the whole people of !
Mexico.
II is further charged that Mader0
caused payment of 100000 to be
made in an irregular way to his
brother, GustavO Madero, for ex-
penses incurred in the revolution
against Diaz If this is true. it is
just cause for judicial inquiry not
for another revolution. AS the Ma
dero family are understood to have
financed the movement against Diaz,
a proper return from the Mexican
treasury is a reasonable demand.
1t is further charged that the
Mexican government by order of
MaderO have arranged for the pur,
chase from his uncle. Lorenzo Con
tales Trivino, of tract of land |
known as the San Carlos territory |
for 100000 pccOs. which never
could be sold for 100000 pecos.
AS to this it may be said that an in
complete transaction of this sort Is
not casus belli and that redress
should be sought through legislative
or judicial inquiry.
1t seems perfectly clear that OrOz-
co and his followers are still con
fronted with the the necessity of
proving that they are not self-seek-
iag malcOntents of the ordinary type.
Madcro may not be acting in every
particular as a strictly constitutional
president, but country that ac-
copied the dictatorship of Diaz for
quarter of a century can hardly ex-
poet perfection of this sort for many
years to come.

IL is very regrcttable To See the re-
ligious issue injected into the pres
ent campaign for State office. The
Evening Telegram expressed its dis
approval of an article appearing in
certain deneminational paper
wherein members of the denomina-
tion represented were urged to vote
for fellow church members in pref
erence to other candidates. Ii did
not occur TO MS at the time that the
article might be construed as in the
interest of any particular candidate.
hut We considered the principle adj
vocated wrong. and in conflict with
the liberal institutions of our coun-
try. The writer who gave the ad-
vice is not alone in what We con.
ceive to be mistaken zeal for q
particular denomination. Hardly q
UNCONVENTIONAL paper comes to ou1
notice that does not contain som.
article or statement calculated Il
arouse or encourage prejudice. or t
insult the membership of some otheI
great church organization which i

world. No souls are ever won I,
Christ by such writings. What som
editors of religious papers need Is
little less denominationalism and
little more Observation-Disclosures,
the latter in broader tolerance an,
trifle more Of the quality Of Christ

The Orlando Reporter-Star sug-
gcsts that the Board of Trade should
buy a couple of columns of space ID
that publication to exploit the towns
advantages. give lodge and church
directories, etc. The suggestion is
good, and is carried into practice IN
some places; but there are very lew
DAYS that the Evening Telegram does
not give more than two columns OF
its space to boosting the city, It's
enterprises, attractions, ETC., ana II
does this without money and with"
ont price. As for lodge. church and
official directories. it publishes these
things in every issue unless unav0ld-
ably crowded out, and so far from
receiving any pay therefor, more Of
ten than not the little printing
these organizations have done Is
carried to Il job office. We do not
let such considerations deter MS,
however. from doing our best to adj
vance every worthy interest, and We
are happy TO state that the substan-
tial people of the city appreciate oul
work. We only mention these thing'
as bearing ON the fact that Others
expect pay for what We are con
stantly and chcerfully doing without
thought of remuneration.

amount handled, as against 2.3 per
cent in the case of estates handled by
competent guardians, he alleges. In

OF estates are handled by professionals

minor Indians out of total Of 3S6

Administration by professional guar

only 4 per cent of the amount handled.
Corresponding alleged differences in
the cost OF administration by the pro-
fessional guardians as against the ad-

men is shown in other counties.
Owing TO the attack made upon the
states, Senators Owen and Gore and
Representatives Ferris, Carter and
Davenport believe that Governor Cruce
should lose not a minute in ordering
the investigation If the charges are
found to be true, all will insist on just
punishment OF those involved; but if
the charges, as they have been regis
tered with government officials and
aired on the floor Of the house, are not
true, then the members of the delega-
tion wish to be in position to defend
the name Of Oklahoma.

"FREcKLEs."

Michigan lumber camps inspire ro-
nance. So does "Freckles." the dram
atized version of the newest and best
book plays, by Neil Twomey, a dram
atist of note and Gene Stratton-Porter,
authoress of the delightful story of
the Indiana swamps commonly known
as "The Limberlost."
The play 'Freckles," is superbly
mounted The perfect lighting effects,
the careful and painstaking delinea-
tion given to the scenic requirements,
together with an excellent cast of
players under the able direction of
Daniel Martin of New York City, is
bound to please the fastidious in
things theatrical
"Freckles," is a drama pulsating
with throbs, love natures hates and
carrying morale as does the clever
word pictures found in the book by
the same name. 1t is interesting,
inspiring. Those who find
drama uninteresting, because of the
lacking of music will be happily sur
prised to know that Anatol Friedland,
a Vienesse composer of note has been
engaged to write the score
for the song play "Fretkles,' to be
seen at the Grand on Wednesday De.
