quoting effect.
In the Madero and Diaz revoTu-
tions the common people of Mex
leo have gained nothing. The re-
volts have been conflicts between
large land owners, and the poems,
promised great rewards when
their aid was needed, were. left to
shift for themselves when they
couldno longer be used.
When Madero threw off the
yoke of Porhrio Diaz he promised
a redistribution of land that
would relieve the poverty of the
lower classes. He forgot these
promises when he became power
full. For this reason Felix Diaz
was acclaimed when he rose
against Madero. But with Huer-
ia at the head of the government
the common people can expect lit
tie relief.
A spark is all thati is needed to
start the fire Of revolt through
the length and breadth of Mexico.
The new government is confront
ed with a real revolution of the
poems, who no longer trust their
rich leaders. A man of the peo-
pie, such as Diaz was when he
took command of the army in
1867 and made himself president,
is all that is needed.
Madero will not be executed.
He will be tried by a court martial
and probably exiled for life from

opened a Chinese restaurant on
Worthington Street.
Prestrige, VINO is a waiter at the
Worthy Hotel went TO the restau
rant with his wife one evening re-
Gently to eat some chop suey. Ac-
cording to Prestrige's story, no
waiter appeared to wait on them.
Finally Jue Fun was called, and
when they asked for some chop
suey they We're told it was all out.
They then asked for steak, but
were told there was also a shortage
in the meat line.
When asked how 1T was that
other people were being served
Jue Fun said they were regular
customers Prestrige claims he
went to the restaurant another
night and was again refused food.
He gave the same order that a
white man sitting at the next table
gave and was told the supply had
run out.
Prestige, according to his story
then ordered a pot of tea, but was
told he could not be served. Pres
tige, has engaged the leading at

case. The situation is made doub
ly peculiar from the fact that Jue

is 100 acres of land and upon it has

From New York Age


Which do you prefer, city or
country life? Which is the more
healthy and probable? And are
persons lett free in choosing for
themselves the place they will re-
side in and the occupations they
will engage in to make their daily
bread and meat and penny over
for the rainy day? All these
questions have been and are being
discussed in all lands, and espec.
iallv in our own, because of the
wonderful increase in population,
the uatfral tendency from country
districts to the city districts, and
the failure to produce enough food
stuffs in the country to feed those
in the cities with corresponding
advantage to both. People are no
longer satisfied with steady occu-
patton and living return for their
labor, either as wage earners or in
dependent workers in any line;
they want more than that; they
think they do; they want to make
enough to furnish them with the
luXuries, in many instances the ex-
travagancies, of life for themselves
and an added fortune to bequeath
to theil children. 1t is not poss.
ible to do this in the country dis
tricts. The average farm will
yield fair living for the indus
trious; so, the sons have been leav-
ing the farms in the United States
ever since the commercial era set
in after the Slave War. most not
ably in the abandoned farms in the
New England and Middle and the
Southern States.
The Philadelphia Record, speak
ing on this subject, says:
Booker Washington is urging a
great ameliorative reform in his
efforts to induce the black men of
the United States to embrace the
opportunity the white men have
SO largely neglected of making
good any lack of corn, or cattle, or
COTTON to meet future demand.
He pointed out in his late address,
delivered in this city, and there
were 2OO,O00,00O acres of unused
and unoccrpied and in the South
ern States alone ready to the hand
of the 100000 blacks who, if
they would go back to the land in
stead of hocking to the towns,
might turn the South into a new
Garden of Eden, with no less adj
vantage to themselves than to the
country at large and all its inhadi-
tants. The black who owns and
cultivates farm is master of him

the same time IA source of strength

lives In. The tillage of the land is

MILLIONAIRE MARRIES
COLORED HOUSE MAID
From Chicago Defender)

Tuesday was an awful bad day
for millionaire Geo. Willis (white)
a Grand boulevard millionaire,
wko for three years had in his en-
ploy Ethel Smith, young, comely
woman of 27 years, a maid in his
bachelor apartment. AS water
wears away rock it seems this cul.
tured gentleman's prejudicos had
vanished and before he was aware
of things he was nearing the state
of falherhood and maid the mother
for his child. Tuesday the climax
came when he was hauled into
court and made to marry the
woman he had wronged.
Many a colored man is serving
time in Joliet for such acts and
this gentleman can consider him.
self fortunate that he was senten-
ced to marry this young woman
and pay'her $50 per week until the
child becomes of age.
The Judge that tried the case
made him give bond of $4,000
and pay the money into the court
each week or month, as he desires.
While in court, his honor in re-
buking the man of wealth said;
"Look at you, a man of intelligence
in silks and satins, heir of the ages,
taking advantage of this poor, illit-
crate ignorant girl in this manner.
If you were living in the South
you would walk IF from your prey
and not give her dime if you dis.
posed to do so. But the time is
here now when all judges, to get
the respect of his community and
nation, must give the law as laid
down and not as he cells" The
judge sent the prisoners brother
for a gold ring and performed the
ceremony in his chambers.
Mr.. James Carter, 1925 State
street professional bondsman, was
best man AID main witness to the
marriage. As we go TO press the
millionaire's attorney said his
client need not pay any more than
from IS to $l2.
The judge diss.nts from this
and said that law was for working
men, but the child of millionaire
calls for more. It's station in life
required more 10 raise it. The
judge refused to reduce the bond
and the money allotted TO the un.
fortunate young woman.
This case is celebrated one and
one that our daily papers ought to
give big headlines after the way
they cut up over the Jack johnson
case. This case will not reach the
light of day as far as the papers
are concerned and the poor, be-
nighted heather will see that the
king can do evil and he must an.
swer for his evildoing. We are

COUNTRY
OR CITY LIFE

to the land" which must come in
the near future, Booker Washing
ton will have brought an inesti-
mable advantage to his race if, fol-
lowing his persuasion, they shall
get there first.
But colored people are just like
white people in this matter. Some
of them want to get rich quick,
and imagine that this can more
easily be done in the city than the
country districts, and have not on
ly hocked to the cities of the South
but those of the North and West,
as the whites have done, since
1876. And, too, the city life offers
attractions in every direction that
the country life does not and never
will offer. This phase of the mat
ter is the most difficult to deal with
in the case OF both colored and
white people, especially the young
er ones. The real countryman has
to be born, soil of the soil; it is
difficult to manufacture, to create
him, when he has been born in
the city or with his face towards it.
The Negro is, naturally, coun.
tryman, a ruralist, but he is easily
spoiled by trip to the great city.
Our farmers in all sections should
be encouraged to send their sons
and daughters to agricultural
schools, so that they may return
to the farm with knowledge to i'm
prove the productivity of the land
J their fathers own and to add to the
acreage. 1t will be found a diff
cult task to induce the hordes of
colored people who have gone from
the country districts in the past
twenty-five years into the large
cities to return to the country life
or to convince their children that
,, it is best for them to do SO. They
can't see it. They have made hu-
man ties and material obligations
from it is hard to break away; so
hard that they. will not in most in
stances consider the matter at all.
Yet, some few will return, with
much persuasion.
The proper work, then, is to en-
courage colored farmers every
where to send their sons and dagh-
ters to agricultural schools, where
they will be prepared for the nigh
er, better and more effective work
of farm and country life. Then,
too, there should be an organized
effort in the cities of the North and
West to induce the people who
come from the farm districts of
South to seek employment among
the farmers of the North and West.
Such an organized effort could do
much 10 relieve the large cities of
the ever increasing number of col
ored people who become "aoaters"
and "hand to mouthers," whom the
police have to-watch.

in regard to the procedure necessary

In circular letter to collector the

resident aliens must be accompanied
by a certificate to this effect, the GER
tificate may be signed either by the
owner or in his behalf by reputable

when a proper certificate is made the
