New York Meantime, one Of
the most extraordinary presidential
elections in the history Of our ma
tion was gathering way. And the
city of New York was in the throes
OF investigation.
Notwithstanding this record the
month OF October was to be the
crowded month of the year. On Oc-
tober 8 the Balkan war began. On
October II Colonel Roosevelt was
shot at Milwaukee. On October "a
Lieutenant Charles Becker was CON
victed Of procuring the murder Of
Herman Rosenthal. On October 80
Vice-president Sherman died. Ii this
swift succession of unrelated events
came the climax of the year.
Thereafter, the curve of the year,
if there is such a thing. took an up
ward swoop. By November 3 Tur-
key was appealing to the powers 20
intervene. The presidential election
fulfilled predictions. Every one us-
gan to breathe again and wonder =
the world might not right itself after
all.
A strange year and a crowded one.
Not for long, long while has so
much of moment happened in a
twelvemonth. A republic in China
would distinguish any year in his
tory. The remaking OF the map Of
Europe is a fix rival. It.has been

REVIEW OF THE
MEXICAN SITUATION.

MEXICAN SITUATION.
Recently President Madero sent d
message to the New York Sun in
which he declared the situation in his
unhappy country was greatly I'M
proved. Taking the message of the
president for its text the Mexican
Herald, published in Mexico City,
says:
We wish hat we might subscribe
to this view of Mexican conditions.
Il certainly would be to our interest
and the interest OF every legitimate
enterprise in the country, to herald
such a statement at home and abroad
81 it could be substantiated by facts.
1--WE regret to say that We cannot
see this improvement in the situation.
For many reasons Mexico appears to
US to be in more precarious state
than she was year ago. We cannot
see wherein the year has brought
change for the better.
let us look the situation squarely
in the face not for a moment deceiv-
ing ourselves.
AT the end of 1912 Mexico has
as many or more soldiers in the field,
fighting various Kinds of rebels, as at
any time during the past two years OF
continuous revolution.
The number Of armed rebels and
bandits opposing government troops
and the authorities of law and order
is as great as at any time during the
same period.
"The extent of territory in when
the federal authority is nil or linn
tied TO restricted districts adjacent
TO garrison towns, is as wide as II
has ever been in the two years.
Meanwhile Mexico's private and
natural credit and reputation have
been declining steadily. due TO the
growing conviction that, instead OF
being simply an upheaval of the ma
tional conscience to overthrow a die
tatorship. the Madero government
marked the Inauguration of new era
of chronic disorder.
Despite the opportunities offered
by high prices for some of Mexieo's
chief products. the country has not
Leen in a position to benefit greatly |
from them, while so many economic
factors. on the other hand, are work
ing every day to the prejudice Of the
country and its citizens
The activity Of wealth producing
industries has been seriously cur
tailed. The country is rapidly con
suming the accumulated surplus of
prosperous years.
The investment Of foreign money
in the republic practically has been
stopped.
~The government is forced to make
repeated loans. for which increasing
rates Of interest must be paid abroad.
~The expenditure OF more and more
Of this money. as well as that OF the
nations local income. must go. not
for useful works. but in tbe unproduc-
tive waste and voc Of war.

ment has grown no stronger among its
own people"

body of lawmakers unmatched any
where in the world for high average
of ability. Men not born to power as
peers but chosen for public service
because of popular belief in their
usefulness.
Senator Bailey was the typical poor
boy of the American backwoods which
has produced SO many men OF fne in.
tellect and noble virtues. II he was
not actually born in log cabin he
was born in humble circumstances.
He originated in Copiah county in
Mississippi, and the charge that Abra-
ham Lincoln met by referring to the
fact that there are two sides to every
bargain and chat when one man sells
another buys, might have beer made
against him when he first come to
the senate, but could not have been
successfully urged against him by an
enemy in politics.
A good story. perhaps a true one, is
told of Mr.. Bailey's first speech. when
he was still a boy and was unknown
in Texas, the state of his adoption
after he left Mississippi. There was
TO be a nominating convention. Young
bailey. lacking the means to ride, de-
cided TO walk several miles TO attend
it. On the road he was offered a lift"
by a farmer who vas going TO the
convention in a jolt wagon. He told
the farmer that he had heard that
there would be rafting good speak
er at the convention who would have
a thing or two to say II any one called
upon him-a young fellow whose
name was Bailey. a newcomer in
Texas. He proposed that both of them
call upon him. When he convention
became deadIocked the farmer yelled
for Bailey" The gangIing, long
haired youth in the frock coat and
siouch hat 10 whom he had given the
lift" rose to his feet, lowered above |
the crowd aid began an Grafton that
thrilled an audience to whom he was
a stranger. The result was that he
was offered the nomination. but he |
declined ii and remained loyal to the !
man in whose behalf he had spoken |
The stampeded convention showed |
the nomination upon him, but he de.
clared that he was not yet 20 years
old, and could NOT accept it. When |
it was discovered that he was so near !
25 that he would have been of consti- |
tutional age in time for the begin
ming Of the term he became a hero in |
politics and a party leader. His re
ward came soon aud he has been in |
as a member of the house
and of the senate. since that time.
If Mr.. Bailey. of Texas. is to retire |
from public life, a comparatively |
rich man, and still young man, the
feeling among the many democrats
and republicans who are familiar with |
bis work in the senate and with his
career in Texas. and the attacks that
have been made upon him, will be
one of deep regret, not for the retire
ment OF the Senator Bailey of 1912.
but for the failure OF Senator Bailey
Of 1905 to develop according to the
forecast of the day.

with the law. The value of a
short story he was writing de-
pended upon certain legal situa-

his acquaintance he told him the
plot and was shown a way to the

he paid.

The largest denomination used

though 1t contains a little more
silver than an American coin.
All of our money is spoken of
as "gold" In these parts and the
same flattering distinction applies
equally to our silver, nickel and
copper coins as we'll as to our
bills.
All American employees are paid
in gold and are termed gold en-
ployes." The negroes and other
actual laborers are paid in the
silver of the republic and are
called "silver employees" This
| classification forms a social bar
rier beyound which no silver en-
| ploye may trespass.
The tourists first impression Is
one of amazement when, having
negotiated a trifling purchase Of
a local merchant and proffered a
five-dollar bill in payment, he re-
ceives nine silver dollars and
some quarters and dimes in
change, nearly three-quarters OF
a pound of "spiggetty'' cash.
Whiskers grow twice as rapidly
in this climate as in our northern
states. An ordinary beard re-
| uuires three scrapes per week in
Ohio, California or New York
state must suffer daily amputa-
ton in Panama If the owner holds
his personal appearance in due
regard. Everything runs to fol-
iage here, including the. male

Since the fad has been started
for polished pebble souvenirs
from Culebra Cut there need be
little apprehension of serious
trouble from slides at that point,
as the tourists will remove the
bulk of such intrusive material in
their mad quest for scarf pins,
cuff buttons, charms, hatpins and
the like. AS a matter OF fact
these stones take a beautiful pol
ish and the coloring of many is
strikingly unique.
Vehicles pass each other on the
left side of the streets of Colon,
Cristobal, Panama and Ancon in
stead of on the right as in the
states.
Panama hats are not manufac-
tured in Panama but the gullible
| tourist falls for the name and
pays four prices for an inferior
lid made in Colombia and Ecua-
dor. OF course it's nice to swell
up and tell your friends in Osh-
kosh that you bought your Pan
anna in Panama and show the
price mark on the inside-$50

buy a better one in Chicago for
the same money.
