Mexican Situation
Described BY N. D.
... Man Just Returned

ttrfed by the jury have seen men in
Mexican prisons and never yet have
heard of anybody being freed on d
writ or habeaS corpus, but now that
they are in a, state Of war those rights
Iare necessarily suspended. | am per-
s9nEally acquainted with two members
LOT the bar who live at Ensenada,
which city is the capital, and while
was there one attorney was being
tried for utterances against the gov
fnment and the other appeared in
court as his counsel. Neither were
given trial, but both were Immediate
ly put in irons and put on board a
ship and sent to serve in the army
without even q chance to bid farewell
TO their families, and they have not
been heard of since The wives o2
these two. attorneys were warned by
the government that if they made any
protest against the arrest Of their
husbands that they themselves would
be imprisoned. The soldiers in Mex
co are, all criminals. Instead of con-
Ticttng a man to serve In prison, they
often sentence him to a term in the
army. Just as we were leaving the
1country a small invading army came
in from the state of Sonora and the
Inhabitants welcomed them. A de-
tachment of the army was sent to
meet them in battle. and from last re-

would fight the invaders or Join them.
One thing which surprised me when
went to buy Mexican gold was that
1t was discounted at the banks. We
| had been taught from 1896 to the
| present time that a. gold coin of any
| nation is, equal to a gold coin of any
other nation of the same weight and
| fineness, and now after all these years
| of education we find that Mr.. Bryan
| was not SO far wrong, as some people
would have him to be. For $186 in
| American gold, / got $40O in Mexican
! gold, which is equivalent to 5000 in
| American money.
| j could talk with leading Mexicans
in their own language sufficient to
understand them when I asked them
about the election to be held Oct. 26.
| They almost unanimously said that If
soldiers were used at the polling plac-
es that they. would not vote because
| it %s79arlt the Imprisonment of all who
5assE I'd vote against af4uertas or HIS fav-
FsssE ca1tfiid late. They Thought the
election would be merely a. mock af-
fair, and for that reason did not care
to participate in 1t, but preferred td
settle their differences otherwise than
at the ballot box. =: ...,'n =
| There is no question but what Pres
| ident Wilson is right in his attitude
taken towards the election which Is
called. 1t will only be subterfuge ana
will not be held in good faith.

companies doing business in this state,
That such a combination took place
between the years 1910 and 1912 can
not be doubted. In Burleigh county,
for instance, there were six bids for
the bonds for the county officials III
1912 ranging from $3.50 to 1888. The
county. of course, secured their bonds
for $189. In 1912, there were twelve
companies bidding and their bids
were all exactly alike $826.50. This In
crease in the cost Of the bonds for
Burleigh county OF almost 500 per cent
and the fact that the bids were all
alike unquestionably points to a COM
bination. The same condition exists
in all of the counties.
That the business is lucrative is In
dicated by the fact that the bonding
companies doing business in the state
in 1912 received $130,875.5S in prem
tums; that they paid out in losses
$35, ,269.84; Of this amount nearly $19,-
500 was paid to Stark county in settle
rnent of the deficit of the defaulting
county treasurer. In 1910, the state
treasurer's bond for the state OF
North Dakota cost the state $1,59S. IN
1912, the same bond cost the state ST.
249.90. In the last instance all OF the
companies bidding except the. success
fnl bidder, bid $3.50, In 1910 there
We're several bids differing quite
widely in amount.
II the bonding department proves to
be illegal, Attorney General Miller will
institute proceedings against some
bonding company with the view of
breaking up the combination. Tbs
state constitution and laws are ample.
and III the bonding companies succeed
in overtfroWing the law they will
either have to return to competStive
basis or to 20 out of business iii North
Dakota. 81

, ating from Racine college in 1887, as
an assistant in the Church Of the Holy
Communion in New York. He took
| his masters degree IN 1889 from
Racine and took his general theological
course at the New York seminary,
from which institution he graduated
in 1894.
Ordained in 1898 by Bishop Grafton
he was elevated to the priesthood Of
the church by Bishop Paret Follow
ing his service in New York he taught
for q brief period at Griswold college,
church formerly located at Daven-
port, Ia. Then he became rector of
the church at Waupaca, Wis, which
charge he held from 1894 until 1898.
His next service was as assistant
rector Of st. Lukes church at Roches-
ter. ~ Y. where he remained until
1900 when he came to Fargo. He was
appointed dean Of Gethsemane cathe-
dral by Bishop Edsell.
AS dean of the local cathedral par
ish, the new bishop remained in Fargo
until 1909 when he was elected secre-
tary of the Domestic and Foreign Mis-
slonary society of the Episcopal
church, or commonly colled the church
board of missions. His headquarters
in the last four years have been in
New York City, with his residence at
the metropolis on Long Island Sound.
Considered for Bishop.
At the time of his election to the
church board of missions, Dean Burle-
son was considered for a bishopric, his
name being quite prominently men
| toned in national church circles for
the Episcopal office.
His election at this time is one that
is most gratifying to all his friends
| throughout the state. Upon his conse-
Grafton and return to North Dakota to
| head affairs, he will probably be ac-
| corded warm home coming that will
doubtless rival anything of the kind
| that has ever been attempted in Fargo.
All Self Made.
The Burleson brothers. and there are
| five Of them, are all self-made men.

they earned their way through school
by running a small printing shop.

Bismarck, N. L.. Oct. z1.-George T..
Wallace, a member of the state tax
commission, returned Saturday from
his vacation, which he spent in visit
ing property. in Lower California. His
partner, R, n. Ink, who formerly lived
at Wahpeton, is now. a resident Of
San Diego and is, experimenting. the
operation of mines owned by Wallace
and Ink in the peninsula Of California.
AS to conditions in Mexico, Mr.
Wallace said: $50

tunity to study the conditions in Mvx-
ico.' i found in talking with, the prin-
cipal citizens Of the various small
communities visited that apparently
the entire population, with the excep-
tion of the governor Of Lower Cali
fornia and a few officeholders, were
not in harmony with the Huerta goy-
ernment, but were decidedly constiLur
tionalists, and called by those In pow
er simply rebels. There is no trouble
in that part of the republic. 9. There

ficts, however. as there yet remained

solve her own problems that this
country must step In like a father or
big brother and assist her. . Had
there been any move toward interven-
ton in the past the entire Mexican
population would have been solioItied

a great deal said about what a. poor
shot a Mexican is, but l found 1t TO be
quite the contrary, because, a, great

the use of the rifle. I do not believe
the Mexicans. themselves will speedily
settle their difficulties. A great many
Americans on both sides of the boun-
dary line are clamoring for this gov

have invested. I believe that any n1an
