"There is a freedom in these matters
now that never has been counte-

They are probably right who say that
Mr.. Lind was not conveyed in a battle
ship from Galveston to Vera Cruz just
that he might 90 to Mexico City to ask
a few questions Of the charge d affairs
at the American embassy or to hold pos
sible telephone conversation from the
embassy with the president de factO OF
Mexico. conveying to him President Will
sons wishes for his continued health and
prosperity. There is back of it all some
thing more important than that.
This view of the case is confirmed by
the manner in which the senate commit
tee on foreign affairs received the explain
alton of Mr. Lind's errand-.when the
president had explained it to them. They
did not seems to regard the mission as
either light or foolish. On the contrary
they were sufficiently impressed with
what the president told them to promise
him their support i'll carrying out bis
plans.
This of course leaves us all. outside Of

nature of Governor Lind's errand i'll Mex

that Huerta has been asked to etface him

the proposal was carefully framed. so
as to spare Huerta any needless humilia-
ton. seems a reasonable superstition. 1t
is also reasonable to suppose that it will
put the whole question of peace or
war up to Huerta, and that it will put Il
severe strain upon both his patriotism
and his self denial. We may venture to
hope that Mr.. Lind will be able to con

SOUND SENSE.

"Give the farmer a chance to make
good by allowing him to stock up his
farm with dairy cow and hogs. and
not cripple him financially at the
start by making him pay the most
of his capital down on his farm and
then force him into gambling in
truck to meet the short time pay
ments. Give him ten years to pay
for his land and there will be no
failures."-Doma Dispatch
Here is the beginning of wisdom for
real estate owners in this Valley. Here
is a proposition that will test their faith
and their courage. In this valley. as in
every other country 50 advertised there
are W classes of real estate men There
are the men who buy land purely for spec
ulative purposes. With the sale OF Il Civ
en- tract Of land. with the successful I'M
loading of il on the shoulders of the
purchasers attracted to it by sensations
al advertising methods. their interest
in the land. in the purchase, and in the
neighborhood ceases. With the unload
ing process they have done all they
cared to do. To get back their investment
at Il big profit and on terms that will ig-
more any chance for the buyer to develop
it They went into il as a speculation
The success of the speculation is the end
of it.
Others began the development of the
country as empire builders. They be-
lieve in the country and they love it: and
its development is a labor Of love to
them. To such men the appeal can be
successfully made for better terms to set
tiers 1t is not enough that Il man shall
come here and buy land 1t is essential
to the growth If the community that he
shall develop the land and make his in
vestment prosper. Therein is the true
advertisement of the Valley. His first
payments should be lighter. He should
have something left for improvement and
for equipment. The deadly thing is to
cripple the investor 1T the start. The bet
ter terms granted to the man who buys
for Improvement. the greater his chanc-
es to comeH through triumphantly on the
whole transaction and the moro who
come through, the better for both buyer
and seller.
