IS CALLED BARBAROUS
BY ENGLISH EDITORS
Opinion Expressed That big
Stick" Is Needed
in Mexico.

LONDON, February 24.-The London
newspapers denounce the killing Of
Francisco Madero and Pine Suarez as
sense1ess and barbarous.
The Standard in an editorial stigma
ties it as IAN indefensible crime, i'm
posing a load of infamy on President
Huerta's administrations" The Stand
ard declares that American intervention
in Mexico can hardly longer be delayed,
and that British opinion will be wholly
sympathetic to any action on which
the Washington cabinet will likely de-
eide
Need for the big Stick" .
The Daily Graphic says the shooting
of Madero and Suarez shows that
| nothing has changed in Mexico, and
| that nothing will be changed until
either another Diaz arises or the big
stick from the north realizes its duty
lin these amarchic wilds.
The Daily Press, in an editorial re-
ferring to what il terms President
Tafts hesitation to act in Mexico, says
revolution and anarchy do not stanu on
presidential etiquette, and that the Sc
curIty OF life and property in Mexico
will not wait while President-elect
wilson instals himself. The Express
describes an expeditionary force or
10000 American troops rs "a plil Tor
an earthquake. and declares such
venture will need 1oO.oto men. The
newspaper urges the British govern
ment to press for immediate action on
the Washington government.
Asks What Uncle Sam Will Do.
The Daily Chronicle declares that Ma
dero was done to death by President
Huerta, and asks what the United States
will do. 1t thinks that any middle course,
| such as financial or military popping up
| of one or the other among the Mexican
| leaders by the United States and the
| creation of a sort of Mexican Cuba could
| only be achieved by combination or
luck and adroit diplomacy, while all enor-
nous army will be needed to conquer
Mexico.
| The editorial concludes:
| Nobody can envy tho United States
her task. In approaching which she de-
serves from Europe no ungrudging meas
ure of moral support
Calls It Murder.
The Daily News says: .'Madero has
been murdered, and the United States
| government is expressing the worlds in-
| dignation at the treachery which brought
| the Huerta administration into office. and
| the ruthlessness with which they are eX-
| ercising their probably brief tenure of
power
| The Daily Mail says the United States
! has commanded that Madero should not
| be executed without trial, and great
| neighboring state is not likely to be
| Knocked.

Lame and Hating Story.

The Times, in an editorial on the &C.
currences in Mexico City, says:
Civilized nations will put their own
construction on the lame and hating
story which the successful conspira tors
now ruling Mexico have chosen to issue.
Unless it can be-proved to the hilt, for
eign observers will retain the opinion
that the removal Of the two Maderos and
SuareZ is only fresh proof that the in
nate ferocity of Mexican politicians and
military adventures remains untamed.
The most for which the unhappy coun-
try can hope is the restoration of a rule
not worse than that of Diaz.'

HIS TERM WAS BRIEF
Slain President Served Less
Than Two Years.
HARASSED FROM BEGINNING
Vice President Suarez, Another Vic
tim of Revolution, Popular
With All Factions.

| Francisco l. Madero ruled Mexico as
the successor of Porfirio Diaz less than
two years. having been elected president
September 90 1911 From the outset his
administration was failure. His brother
Gustavo was generally conceded to be the
real man in power, and so great did his
influence in national affairs become that
Gustavo. at the time of the Diaz-Reyes
coup of two weeks ago, was known as the
| most hated man in all Mexico
| From the moment he set up his capital
at Juarez as provisional president Until
he went to Mexico City to succeed to the
presidency, Madero was confronted with
most veXing problems of government and
had to contend with dissensions among
both his own followers and the opposition
| His foes did not hesitate to predict that
| his rule would be short. and that he
would prove to be the biggest failure in
| the history of Mexico Despite the fact
that he had led a revolution which ousted
Diaz, the most powerful man that Mexico
| had ever produced, he was essentially a
nom fighting man. He was a believer IN
spirits and a vegetarian. He hated blood,
and could never, even at the earnest
solicitations of his friends. do things IN
| the old Diaz way. Reyes and Felix Diaz
both fell into his hands after starting
revolutions against him. and neither was
| put to death. as his friends demanded,
but lived to plot against him again-the
latter to cause his murder.
Member Of Great Family.
| Francisco Madero came OF one of the
great families of Mexico. More than a
score of close relations were in the gov
eminent service, and this fact caused
much Of his recent unpopularity. His re-
fusal to give the Vasquez-Gomez faction
| what it wanted took away many of his
| followers. Then came the desertion of
| Pascual Orozco, who was Madero's right
hand man in the revolution. and the re-
volt in Chihuahua. which has lasted
more than a year. Zapata, In the central
part of the republic. also was angered
| by refusal to recognize his demands and
has made constant trouble. Then, too
as constant enemies and plotters were
| the rich and powerful men of the Glen
tifico party, of which Lmantour. Corral
| Felix Diaz and Luis Terrazas are leaders.
| To understand the situation in Mexico
which led up to the deposition, and later
| the killing of Madero, 1t is necessary to
revert to June, 1910, when Madero first
came into the public notice as an oppo-
nent of Porfrio Diaz for the presidency
Diaz was in absolute control of the cleo
ton machinery throughout the republic
and the defeat of Madero was accom-
plished with great ease After he had de-
! feated Madero, Diaz had him arrested
and imprisoned on a charge of sedition.
He escaped the following October, and
soon afterward turned up in San Antonio,
Tex, in which city he began to lay his
plans for the revolution that was des-
| tined to drive Diaz into exile. November
| 10. 1910 Madero. with seven men, crossed
the Rio Grande near Laredo, and the rev.
olUtiOn was on.

Notes.
The tides in the river are now ranging
as much below the average for the sea-
son as they werf above it in the latter
part of last week. Rivermen have a
theory that unusually high tides are al
ways followed by a northwester. and it
would seem to be true, for following the
high water came heavy northwest
wind. which caused a heavy fall-off in
the height of the water in the river.

alton JOINT resolution rs. J. Res. SS]
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
prohibiting the sale, manufacture
for sale, transportation for sale, I'M
portation for sale, and expectation
for sale of Intoxicating liquors for
beverage purposes in the United
States and all territory subject to
the jurisdiction thereof. United
States Senator Thompson of Kansas
made the following speech in the
Senate ON December 10, favOring
the proposed amendment: cas-
this is a question in which Kansas
has had longer and better experience
than any other state in the Union, l
desire to say few words in support
Of the resolution.
We have had Statewide prohibit
ton as part of the Kansas State
constitution longer than has enlisted
in any other State in the Union. The
Kansas Legislature in 1879 voted by
joint resolution t0 submit ito to a vote
of the people an amendment to the
State constitution forever prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of in
toMcating liquors, except for medi-
cal purposes. This amendment was
adopted by the people at the gener-
al election in 1880. During the SO
years since that time the law has not
been repealed, nor has the constitu.
tional amendment on which. it is
based been resubmitted to the peo-
pie for their affirmation or rejection.
If there is any one question which is
permanently settled in the minds of
the people of Kansas, it is the pro-
hibition question, In my judgment,
the question will never again be
submitted to the people or seriously
attempted to be resubmitted by any
organization. political or otherwise.
If it should be resubmitted, prohibi-
bition would carry by larger vote
than any other proposition that
could be presented to the people of
Kansas. 1t has been entirely elm
mated from politics, and the people
are practically unit on the ques-
ton of retaining it as the fundamen-
tai law of the State. After this long
trial and experience with the law
fully 90 per cent of the people would
vote for its continuance and are
favorable to its extension throughout
the Nation. Our firm stand for the
law is proof of the strength of
character of our citizens and con-
slant example in practical reform to
all the States of the Nation.
The closing of the saloons and
Joints in the State has had a most
excellent effect upon the morals as
well as the material interests of the
people of the State, so much so that
no one with the best interests of the
people and the State at heart de-
sires to go back to the old order Of
things under the saloon. Among
the most beneficial results Of the law
arc better homes, happier and

impaneled to try one charged with
the violation of this law, instead of
juror disqualifying, as he formerly
did, because of his prejudice against
the law, he now often disqualifies
on account of his extreme bias in
its favor; and frequently care has to
be taken on the part of the court in
protecting the rights of defendant
to prevent a conviction without suf-
ficient evidence to sustain it. A
man could no more start joint in
Garden City, or any other south
western Kansas town, than he could
willfully apply torch to one of our
best buildings. No good citizen
would stand for it, no matter what
his views on the liquor question.
The result is, instead of being
what was formerly considered the
most lawless section of the State, we
have become the most law abiding
people on the face of the earth.
This judicial district, consisting of
the nine southwestern counties, EN-.
braces territory equal in size to
the entire State of Connecticut with
little old Rhode Island thrown in,
yet in most of the counties there
has not been criminal case on the
docket for over fifteen years, and in
some of the counties there has not
been civil difficulty of sufficient
importance to justify the calling of
a jury for the same length of time.
One or two days is sufficient time to
transact the entire court business of
a regular term in each of the five
southwestern counties The old ar
gument that no one will settle in a
prohibition community is answered
by the fact that our population has
more than doubled in the last four
years, and instead of property de.
creasing in value it has enhansed in
value from 100 to 1000 per cent. 1
know of no one in the poorhouse or
in Jail in any Of these nine counties,
and our people are as healthy, hap
py, and prosperous as can be found
anywhere in the world, and may
rightfnlly ceallenge comparison with
and other similar territory with
joints or open saloons.
What l said at that time as to
conditions In my judicial district
could have been said of most of the
other judicial districts of the state,
and remain about The same to- day.
Kansas welcomes this resolution,

vice possible to secure its passage,

Nation the benefcent effects which
