fnm the Philadelphia Ledger.
We all dislike to seem to be moralists,
for we are well aware that our conduct
falls short OF the stature Of our ideals
The most effective sermon is a character
Men have written books with prescrip-
tons whereby other men may succeed in
life. In cold print il looks easy. The
fulfilment of the advice is difficult. Not
everybody reads the exhortation, but
everybody has a hero, whether he admits
ii or not, and-whether he knows it or
motifs Influenced by another life he
more or less admires and initiates.
We listen respectfully to the counsel Of
a man who lives what he tells u.s. We
do not care for the philosophy of one
who cannot carry his lofty ethical code
down the pulpit stairs into real life.
There is the ring of hollow mockery
in what he says..his words are belied
by what he does.
Some natures fortify themselves with
all manner of good resolutions. II that
is any help. it is a good plan to make
them; but you may paper the wall with
them and it will have no effect upon
your character till you start to carry
them out. Then comes the fight betweeB
the old order and the new. Creatures of
habit, we are most reluctant to change.
We know perfectly well what is good for
us, but it is SO much easier to 60 Oh
doing as We have always done.

DOMINGUEZ PROPOSES
PLAN FOR PROSPERITY
Prominent Mexican to Call a Meetins
of Planters to Consider Land
Division.

Zeferino Dominguez, a native Of Mex
leo City. and one of the most extensive
planters of the Southern republic, was
presented to President Wilson and Secre-
tary of War Garrison yesterday by Rep
resentative James A. Hamill. Of New
Jersey.
Dominguez was offered the portfolio
of Secretary Of Agriculture under the
Madero government, and the Huerta rule
is said to want him for the cabinet there
now.
Mexico most Of all needs evolution
Revolutions will not solve the problem
of the poor people. 1 will return to
Vera Cruz tomorrow night and will is
sue q call to the wealthy planters Of
the republic to meet and consider a
gigantic plan by which We can bring the
rich and poor people together in union.
My plan Is to have the great plantations
of Mexico split up into small farms Of
100 acres and rented out on shares to
the poorer people. In this way our
great land will be developed while the
poems will prosper and be happy.
The reason 30 many poor men join
the revolutionists is because they can
make more in three hours of looting
than they can in a years work under
the present unequa! conditions. But IL
each man 10 placed upon some big plan
tation, given a home for his family. and
implements with which he can cultivate
ground, he will not have the time to
fight. Most of the revolutioniets are
fitting for meat and bread, and not for
any particular leader or political party.
But to evolve things in Mexico there
must be a mutual understanding between
the rich and poor. They must come to-
gether in the common cause OF evolu-
ton. Unless they do this revolutions
after revolutions even to the end Of
time will be going on" said Dominguez.
Mr.. Domingues speaks English fluent
~. For the past six months he has
visited various fairs throughout the
United States. giving lectures on Mexico
and its possibilities At Chicago he
talked with the meat packers as to the
chances of Mexico becoming one OF the
worlds greatest cattle raising countries.

Columbia-"A Royal Family"

A revival of Capt. r. Marshalrs ro-
raantic comedy, "A Royal Family" which
was the fourth play in which Julia Dean
was presented by Managers Metzerott ana
Rerper will also be the fourth in which
they present Helen Holmes, the leading
lady of the present season of the Column
bia Players.
"A Royal Family" is one OF the most
notable successes of recent years, Annie
Russell having found in it a part pecu-
liarly suited to her methods. The per-
sonality of Miss Holmes, it is believed,
is admirably adapted to the role OF the
only daughter of King Louis VII OF
France. While the scene of action is laid
in Carol the capital of Arcadia, II might
well apply to more than one of Europes
