Republic to the south OF us.
One years residence close to the
border afforded us an opportunity |
to at least smell the powder.
While living near the border an
American lady asked me if / had
any Mexican blood in me. On
I being assured that | was free from
that peculiar fluid she was willing
to draw closer, and remarked that
from my general appearance she
thought | might at any rate have
been born there. That was my
opportunity, and | asked her the
following question: Ii man just
happened to be born in a potato
patch would that make him a po-
tato? Afterwards | proved to her
that | was not born in Mexico, nor
never would be if / could help it,
/ relate this to show that there is
feeling of aversion probably I'M
JUST toward the Mexican people
Old Mexico is about one. fourth
as large as the United States in
area, and has population of be-
tween fifteen and twenty millions.
She has much fertile soil and
superb climate.
| have it on good authority that
her people are cross between the
Spanish and Indian blood and
this has much to do with their
temperament. They are the most
tickle race on the face of the globe.
The federal soldiers cannot be
relied upon. When the revolution
lists win battle the federals will
go over, to be on the winning side,
and vice versa. Many of their bat
ties are like drunken hrawls when
everybody is striking and no one
knows what or why he is striking.
An American citizen who has
lived at the border for thirty years
told the writer that ninety per
cent. of the Mexicans would hail
with delight the day when theAm-
erican government will step in and
say fstop thief!' But President
Wilson and his cabinet is not un-
aware of the instability of any
Mexican sentiment.
Even ninety per cent. could
easily change their minds over
night.
At the present time sad Mexico
seams to be passing through the
throes of yeritable French Rev
olution." A powerful revolt is
under way against the Huerta rule
headed by General Carranza, who
announces his intention OF hang
ing President Huerta end his gen
erals for the assination of Madero,
Both parties realize that victory
for their cause hinges largely upon
the size of their purse, and both
are scurrying for loans. Local
capitalists are making haste to
leave the country and foreign
bankers are anxiously watching
Washington for an indication Of
our governments attitude toward
the present Mexican administra
ton.
Mexico's religion has done nc
more for sick Mexico than ont
hundred years ago it did for sici
France. And it is no fault of re
ligion either--but the lack of re
ligion. J. Il. CouLTARD.

DISPLAY THE FLAG.
On Lincoln's Birthday, February II,
Says Woman's Relief Corps.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: As Lin
coins birthday is the 18th of February,
the Woman's Relief corps. would most
respectfully ask the people of the city,
through your paper, to display the
American flag from their homes, Offices
and stores on that day. The people are
coming more and more to honor him,
who was our sixteenth president. As the
war president, Lincoln is identified with
great part of the history of the strug-
gle. To the people and the army he was
endeared as Father Abraham" On the
10Th day of November, 1868, he pro-
nounced on the battlefield of Gettysburg
his short but famous eulogy. At his
inaugural, his words were, Malice toward
none, charity for all.
Let us strive to finish the work man
is to do for him who shall have borne
the battle and for his widow and for his
orphan. Lincoln was one of the few
great rulers whose wisdom increased
with the power and whose spirit grew
gentler as his triumphs were multiplied.
Let all who honor his memory display
the flag Wednesday, the 18th.

INTRODUCING BILLS NOT RE-
STRICTED ENOUGH.

We notice that three new bills were
introduced in the Vermont Senate last
night, at the opening of what is intended
to be the final week of the legislative
session. There ought to be reform in
the system of introduction of bills which
shall make time limit and adhere to it.
The filtering in of new measures long
after the time when they should have
been barred is the cause, in great part,
for the prolongation of the sessions.
Other state legislatures fix time limit
in which bills can be introduced, and
they abide by the rule, bills applying
after the time limit being put over TO
the next session or being abandoned. II
the legislature should have a hard and
fast regulation in the matter, there
would be less delay and procrastination
in getting the bills before the assembly !;
and the legislators would not have their
work impeded and clogged during the
critical period of their service by grist
of measures which might just as well
have been introduced weeks and months
earlier. We are convinced that the
shorter sessions, which all the people
Of Vermont are praying and hoping for,
never will come until radical reform Is
made in this matter.

BROTHER JOSEPH AS SENATE

shall not try to become secretary of the
United States Senate. While the Sc
lection of Joseph r. Wilson TO the sec
retarial position would not smack II
as sope suggest. Il would give
us too much Wilson in positions which
might connive against the best admin
istration. For instance, as the Boston
Herald asserts. i would be decidedly en-
barrassing for the Senate to endeavor
TO engage in secret session discussion
about some important policy and at
the same time TO be compelled 20 have
a brother Of the president in the Sc
cret session. Blood might not be thick
er than duty in the case Of the Viii
sons. but. admittedly, there would be
a chance for family sympathy to IS
sert itself 10 the revelation OF the dis
cussNns Of the secret session. There

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
The Billy Aliens Musical Comedy Com
pany Next Week.

| Next week at the opera house marks
the red letter event of the season in
this city Billy Allen and his company
of musical comedians will hold down
the boards. In other cities they have
proven great big favorities and they
will doubtless prove the same here. The
girls are pretty, viyacious and elegant
ly gowned. They have good voices and
put that dash and vim into their work
that instantly makes them popular idols
with their audience The scenic effects
are up to the times, and painted by com
petent artists. The comedy is clean
cut and wholesome, the songs are new
the electrical effects are impressive, and
on the whole the people of Barre have
a treat in store for them next week.
When a firm as well known as Myrkle
& Harder offer an attraction for the
public entertainment, that same public
knows that they are to secure the best
in that particular line. These gentle
men have been catering to the people
for years and they have never broken
faith with the public. In the Billy Al
len Musical Comedy company that comes
to this city for six nights and Satur-
day matinees, Myrkle & Harder have
secured the best show of its kind in
the country. From every newspaper OF
the large cities of the West is heard
nothing but praise of this organization,
and theatre managers unite in endors
ing it as the cleanest, funniest must
cal comedy company that has played
their houses in years. Popular prices
will prevail during the engagement; the
prices being 10, 20, 80 and soc with
10 and 20c for the matinee. Seats on
sale at Hendricks Friday morning.
