SECRET MEXICAN HISTORY.

J covering secret motives back of the re-
cent revolutions. They are not salts
fled with the various pronunciamentos
of the insurgents, All this talk of pa
triotism, constitutionalism and reform
is edifying, they say, but behind the
eloquence, the guns and the fighting
men loom various commercial inter
ests
The taint of commercinlism, they de-
clare, has been on all the revolutionary
movements since the first uprising
against Diaz by Madaro. Not only the
European editors, but those of South
America, detect the odor Of oil in the
Mexican upheavals. The most con-
spicuous figures among those manipu-
lating the revolution from behind the
scenes are the Standard Oil interests
and the Pearson oil interests. they in
sist.
More and more the English navy is
coming TO depend upon oil for fuel.
The latest dreadnought uses only oil.
The augmented demand for this kind
of fuel has led the Pearson interests to
extend their operations into those quar-
ters Of the globe which promise the
most ample supply. The Pearsons have
contract with the kings navy.
Therefore, say the seers who read be
oil fields in Mexico and If vast sup
plies of oil were not needed for the
modern battleship, revolutionizing in
Mexico would not be 50 popular We
see the German dailies openly discuss
ing this viewpoint, and recently the
question has been in5istently mooted
IN the lobbies of the house of commons
Members have formulated earnest In
terpolations On the subject In other
words, the interests accustomed to
guide and control "dollar diplomacy
have been most active In financing the
Mexican revolutions, II this view be
correct There are even hints Of an
"oil press" In Europe behind the ef-
forts TO induce President Wilson to take
radical action.
It is said that Huerta has impressed
upon the European mind that he is
more friendly to q policy Of free access
to oil than was Madero, The latter is
declared to have been the champion of
American oil interests and Of American
whereas Huerta is pronounced
n tool of the Pearsons.
Perhaps it will be a long time before
the secret history of the Mexican revo
lutions are truthfully written. At pres
ent the European and South American
editors find entertainment and fascina-
tion in accepting nero suspicious as
facts. Nevertheless, 1T Is well that the
public should be informed on these sub
jects, that they may be the better able
to understand all sides of the most per
picking international problem which |
has engaged the attention and anxiety
Of our government for many years.

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

Never before have tho people Of this
iutormountain empire had greater rea-
son for confidence and courage than
now, We do not refer TO any particu-
lar event, but to the inspiring success
sion OF good things which have pressed
upon us through the year.
First of all there are the hoavy crops,
taxing severely the capabilities of the
railroads, though there is more track
age and rolling stock than in any other
year. It has become so common for Us
to record the "greatest crops ever"
that we scarcely appreciate the new
announcements as they come, or the
meaning of the fact that we are able
to record these continuous gains. In
fact, there may be found any day in the
streets Of this city people to maintain
that we havo never recovered from the
depression Of 1907. 1t is true that the
speculative fever of that time has not
returned, and this is fortunate, for in
Its place there is something better. But
these annually recorded crop gains
mean that each year there Is new
acreage under cultivation, and new pop
ulation within our borders, with all the
increase in wealth that necessarily fol
lows.
People are quietly drifting in and
purchasing our lands without noise or

the trumpet blare Of organized land
selling campaigns. At least such cam
paigns are not occupying the public eye
to the extent they did six or soven
years ago. These new settlers arc not
! going to any one district, but are scat
tering themselves over the whole inter
mountain empire, so that the real scope
Of the movement is not easily noticed,
AS n matter of fact, the movement is
large now, and growing larger. No
country whose business capital is COM
PEELED to spend S2,000,0O0 year in
building homes for its now population,
can be dead.
Many now plans for irrigation and
drainage have been taken up during the
last year or two, and. one by one, they
are being carried out. Both north and
south of US, the railroads are spending
largo sums in the building of branches,
the improvement Of roadbeds, the short
ening of distances, and the lessening of
curves and grades In every railroad
headquarters there are far-reaching
plans for further improvements and e1-
tensions, and even for the building Of
new main lines.
Road building is receiving an amount
of attention that cannot be compared
for q moment with the hstlessness dis.
played even FIVE years ago. Road dis
tricts are being formed, and plans are
being carefully laid and energetically
carried out. This applies not only to
the Improvement Of dirt roads, but to
the building OF splendid new roads of
rock and even OF solid concrete
Small water and sewer SYSTEMS for
our towns and villages are marking not
only their prosperity, but their pro-
gressive spirit. Both towns and coun-
tryside are equipping themselves with
electricity for light and power Farms
are being stocked with cattle and hogs,
and an air OF thrift prevails wherever
one chooses to look.
There is no boom or anything like
one, but our local merchants are doing
a business much greater than they re-
ported three or four years ago, our rail
roads are undeniably hauling more
freight than ever before in their history,
and the deposits Of the banks in this
territory are the largest they ever have
been.
OF course, the prosperity is not pc
culiar to this part Of the country. Such
conditions are never quite localized. The
whole nation has experienced very much

One man, indeed, gave at least a
touch of another quality to the life
Washington saw. This was Lord
Fairfax. who had been almost two
year, in Virginia when the boy quit
school, and who was now determined.
as soon as might be. to take up his
residence at his forest lodge within
the Blue Ridge. George greatly
struck his lordship's fancy. as he did
that of all capable men. as daring
lad in the hunt and a sober lad in
counsel; and drawn into such com
panionship. he learned great deal
that no one else In Virginia could
have taught him 80 well-the scrupu-
lous department Of a high-bred and
honorable man Of the world: the use
Of books by those who. preferred af-
fairs the way In which strength may
be rendered gracious. and indepen-
dence made generous. A touch Of old
world address was to be learned at
Belvoir.
