the most radical and revolutionary
changes known to present-day So
c1ety was not taking place, l. e., the
change of land ownership.
In Sonora, as in the rest of Mexico,
the, feudal form of land-ownership
prevails, and since the last revolt
against the military. coupe-de-etat
took place, the solution of this land
problem has been solved by the nat
ural force of circumstances.
Nine thousand ConstitutionaIist
fighters control the state of Sonora.
and the people are with them. Nat
urally, the land barons-were of a diff
ferent opinion, and being but few in
number and not willing to fight for
themselves even in the federal ranks,
they took shelter in the United
States, regretfully leaving their lands
and land, wealth behind them; in the
fields the crops in full maturity.
During the 'Madero' revolution"
the fighters in the ranks subsisted
largely upon meat. So great was the
almost inherent reverence for the
feudal land ownership that they
dared not take of the plentiful-stored
grain in the absent baron's bins until
taught by some wiser and more fear
less leaders that the grain rightfully
belonged to them. For did they not
till the soil, plant the seed and Guilt
vate the crops?
In two years the people have grown
wiser and have taken matters into
their own hands. They have not hesi-
tated to harvest the crops and use
them for the support of their agrar-
ian revolt. The government has been
compelled to act in accord with this
movement and law was enacted hy

.Guaymas, Mex, Aug. 81.
The prominence given to the politi-
cal aspect of the fight in Mexico, and
the interest centered on the PERSONAL
ity of the various so-called leaders in
the strife, tends to distract the atten-
ton of the masses in the United
States from the real issue of the
revolution. Think you that the
Mexican people are sacrificing their
lives to place certain man in the
presidential chair to rule them with
the iron hand" of old Porfirio?
They did that, much to their sorrow,
two years ago when they so unani-
mously elected Madero to that "en-
viable position" His betrayal of the
trust reposed in him was the means
of opening the eyes of the poems who,>
under the regime of the man in whom
they had so much faith, still suffered
the same old misery and hunger of
the Diaz rule. To be sure, the people
resented the murder of Madero, but
it was not for this they took up arms
to back the Constitutionalist party;
but through this backing they will
realize the aspirations of the common
people, i. e., to once more possess the
land which had been so ruthlessly
taken from them or their forefathers.
It was not another revolution" with
the people, but the same old issue of
lands, lands for the people" taught |
to them by Father Hidalgo more than

"THE FREELY"

Although "The FREELY" in which
Arthur Hammersten is starring that
bewitching little prima donna, Miss
Edith Thayer, this season, lays only
claim to being a comedy opera, II per-
meates with the atmosphere Of grand
opera. Otto Hauerbach is the author
of the book while Rudolf Friml is
responsible for the score of this latest
Hammerstein production.
THE FireHy" which comes to the
Opera House soon has to do with the
adventures of a little Italian street
singer from New York s East Side
character which fits Miss Thayer,
not like the proverbial glove, but like
a custom made suit turned out by a
Broadway tailor.
The scenes of this new operetta
are laid in New York and Hamilton,
Bermuda. This is the first time that
Bermuda has ever been introduced in
a stage scene, and, as Bermuda is
known as the land of always sum
mer," it allows the providing of stage
settings that are far beyond the mag
ination of one who mas never been
to this land of everlasting sunshine
and flowers.
Mr.. Hammerstein has surrounded
Miss Thayer with cast such as is
seldom seen or heard in the best COM
ic operas. for in selecting this COM
pany, it was necessary to engage ar
lists with two very essential qualifi-
cations that are rarely combined,
namely: artists with voices and who
could act. In consequence of which
it took more than one year to COM
plete the following cast of notables:

nard H. Ferguson, Bert Wheeler, Paul

ZIMMERMAN KILLED.
At BRIGHTON
John Radon Had Skull
Crushed
Was Telling Trees When the Fatal
Accident Occurred. Coroner Tru-
FAINT Deemed Inquest Unnecessary.

An appalling accident occurred,
Thursday, at Brighton when John Raj
don, supposedly hailing from Bangor,
was killed while numbering. He wac
in the employ of Everett and Stan
hope of sHartland and the scene of
the accident was in the woods about
three and one-half miles above
Brighton village.
AS near as has been determined.
Radon fell a tree which lodged up
on another one. He then cut down
still another tree which fell upon the
one just previously felled. Raidons
next move was to roll the second
tree off the stump with a cant-dog and
when this tree rolled down it came
in contact with a small hack-me-tack
which was standing in its pathway.
The hack-me-tack was broken by the
weight of the falling rec and in shat
tering a portion of the flying wood
struck Radon on the head and frac
tured his skull. Other men were
working nearby and when they reach
ed the injured mans side he was
breathing but death followed shortly
afterwards.
Coroner |. C. Trodfant was sum-
moned but deemed an inquest unnec-
essary and the remains were conse
quently removed to Hartland where
they were placed in the receiving
tomb pending word from relatives.
The dead man is supposed to have
mother and brother living in Cam
bridge, Mass.
