is that it is not apparent that any
leader stands for principle OF
promises any betterment of the
condition of the people. There
has not been, since the beginning
of uprisings against the Madero
administration, a ray of hope
that his downfall would not be
followed by an equally unsatis-
factory regime inaugurated by
an equally selfish successor. The
deposed and murdered president,
Francisco Madero, was charged
with having brought his clan to
tie capital to monopolize Office
and specialize in graft. 1t is
charged that his brother, Gusta-
vo, who was brutally butchered,
dominated the president and rul-
ed the camp of the spoilers, and
that under his influence and
financial management Mexico
was rapidly approaching the
state of poverty that existed in
Venezuela when Cipriano Castro
was ''hogging" everything in
sight. and family jewels were be-
ing sacrificed to tide over the
period of hard times by families
once well to do.
Felix Diaz. for the present mo-
ment the popular hero, seems to
be a rather cheap type of the
would-be dictator, even for a.
Latin American State. With
1000 men at his back in Vera
Cruz, recently, he was taken
prisoner by a Maderist force of
400 men, whose leader took Diaz
by the scuff of the neck, accord
ing to eye witnesses, and arrest
ed him without shot being fired.
Apparently his name is what
gives him a following, and his
desire to get possession of the
fleshpots what gives him mo-
tive. Orozco. Salzer, Campo, |
Rojas and leaders of a lesser
breed in Northern Mexico, and
Zapata in the South, are adven-
turers who are upon the level of |
the petty kings of Spanish States
who several centuries ago fought
and plundered one another or the
Moslem invader, as opportunity |
offered, and looked upon loot as
alee mate cause for war.
The political issue that is para
mount in Mexico is an economic
one. The right and opportunity |
of the man of small means to
own property is advocated by
the masses. 1t was promised by
Madero in the platform upon
which he was elected by the peo-
pie who believed him the politi-
cal opposite Of the elder Diaz.
Madero was charged with having
taken his seat when there was
$40, 600, 600 in the treasuary and
with having soon borrowed So
600, 600 after exhausting the pub
lie till. That plus the nepotism
with which he was charged, and
his failure to indicate the inten-
ton of carrying out the land
grabbing program, constitute the
reasons for his alleged unpopu-
larity, and, apparently, he was
riding for a fall ever since the
day of his Inauguration, and his
sudden exit from the field of ac-
ton occasioned no surprise.
The difficulty faced by the Mex
lean people seems to be that
which provoked from a witty
Spanish nobleman during the
days of ''Prim and the Republic"
the statement that all leaders
share the view that the body

BEFORE leaving COl1aX l pr0mlS-

to them and tell them about this
country, will have to trust to
your indulgence to allow me space
in your valuable paper in order

be sure not to slight anyone.
AS is well known, this is a
delightful climate, and it is cor
rectly referred to as being THE
Land of Sunshine and Flowers. !"
We arrived here January II ana
since that time it would compare
favorably with your most pleas
ant April weather. The nights
are cool and pleasant, and / am
told that they continue about the
same all through the summer.

tically no mosquitoes. | have
not seen more than a half dozen
mosquitoes since | have been here.
The land is a deep sandy loan,
long leaf pine woods, gently roll
ling, and would not be valuable
in that climate. The high land
is especially adapted to citrus
fruits, and in my judgment, is
not suitable for any thing else.
The low land is fine for vegeta-
bles, strawberries and general
farming, but there is not a great
deal Of this kind of land in this
immediate section. A few miles
north of here the land is different
and is suitable for citrus fruits
and general farming will grow
any thing.
An orange and grape fruit
grove will come into bearing
about the fourth year, bearing a
few boxes, increasing every year.
| visited a twelve year old grove
5 miles north of here, yesterday,
that contains 8 acres that will
produce this season over nine
thousand boxes that will sell for
81. 90 per box. 1t does not look
possible that the trees could sup
port such loads of fruit. The
land being situated in a climate
where such results can be had, is
Of course, the only reason it is so

age in autumn have already put

The orange and grape fruit BIOS
SONS perfume the air and the
trees are also loaded with ripe
fruit. They begin to ripen in
November and will remain on the

full crop only every alternate

Jennings Farmers Go in for Diversified
Farming.

Jennings, La, March Fol
lowing an address this morning
by James A. Redhead, expert
working for the Agricultural De-
partment of Louisiana, a body of
farmers representing wards one
and two of the new parish of JEFF
ferson Davis, organized themsel-
yes into an association for the
promotion of diversified farming,
and to put up half of the expen-
ses of an expert to spend his en-
tire time with the farmers of
these wards, the department to
pay the other half of the salary.
Practically enough money was
subscribed at the meeting to pay
half of the expenses, and COM
mittee was appointed to solicit
the balance, which will be secur-,
ed within two days.
Many of the farmers believe
this to be one of the best moves
made for the agricultural inter-
ests of this section for some time.
The expert, it is thought, will be
able to visit every farmer in the
two wards at intervals of from
three weeks to a month, thus i'm
parting much valuable informa-
ton along lines of Investigation.

In conformity with a deep-seated
conviction of the Democratic party,
would urge that this legislature pass
a concurrent resolution instructing
our senators and requesting our mem
bers of the lower branch of congress

of the United States of America,
praying for an amendment to our fed

of Kansas, for their adoption or re-
lection, amendments to our constitu-
ton providing for the initiative and
referend ndum in matters of legiSla ton
and for the recall of unfaithfuI public
officials. These and all other plat
form pledges on which any member
of this legislature was elected are SOL

should be as sacredly performed as
any contract, the performance of
which is demanded. by law and busi-

amendments be framed in clear and
explicit language and in terms which
will make them effectively conform to
the will of the people.

SENATE Is WITH HIM.
Leaders Say They VIII Back Up VIII
sons Program.

Washington, Jan. 14.-President-
elect Wilson's declaration at Trenton
that he would pick only progresstves
for the work of the new administra-
ton brought from Democratic leaders
of the senate today a statement that
the new president would have the sup
port Of a united Democratic majority
in the senate when he began his presi-
Dental term. Efforts to unite the
Democrats with the control virtually
given to the progressives have been
so far so successful that leaders pre-
dict there will be no open break In
the organization of the new senate.
The reorganization element VIII. 1t
is understood, yield the chairmanships
of committees to the older senators
entitled to them by rank; but will in
sist upon a full voice in the control
of each committee and in the selection
of it's members. Senators Martin and
Hoke Smith, recognized as the leaders
of the Democrat forces in the senate
both refused to see in the remarks of
the president-elect any especial refer
ence to the situation in the senate and
both predicted a harmonious settle
ment of all differences in that body.
II don't understand why any DEM
ocrat could be surprised at the declar-
ration of Governor Wilson that he is
in accord with the progressive policies
of the day." said Senator Martin. ''I
am sure he will find the Democratic
party in the senate solidly with him
in the views he expressed. 1 certain
ly know of no dissent from them

'I do not apprehend any discord
among the Democrats of the senate.

ganization will be adopted, practically
doing away with the old hard and fast
rules Of seniority and yet recognizing
the values and services of those who
have been for long time in the SEN
