THE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY g. 1914,

GUS; that the parasites rs well as the
milliouaires of Mexico City are treach-
erous and that 10 show them tho least
favor would only result in disaster or
delay the work Of reformation.
It is but natural that somo degree of
sympathy should be felt and expressed
for families shorn Of their wealth as
the result of revolution in any country.
There are millions Of others, however,
who are at least entitled to equal con.
tideration. Landlordism in Ireland has
been broken up and for the first time
in centuries the island Is prosperous and
it's people contented. The leaven Is
working on England and before the end
OF another generation there will be
moro little farms and fewer great es-
tates.
Conditions in Mexico are not much
worse than in Russia, and here, too, the
work Of regeneration is going on, slowly
but surely. Ever since the liberation
of tho serfs the ambition OF the peas
ant class has been to own the soil 1t
tills. Some great estates have been cut
up and parceled out. Others will doubt
less share the came fate. The day OF
the man with title to thousands or mil
lions Of ncres Of land Is about over.
II would be far better If the so-called
ruling classes In all countries should
take measures to put the people who till
the soil in possession Of the land on
easy terms, rather than wait until the
storm breaks and families who have
been reaching out for more rich acres
for centuries are cast upon the tender
mercies Of tho world like the Terrazas
family Of Mexico.

stage and will be passed without the
consent OF the house Of lords IL Is ex-
pected that when these measures have
been signed by tho king the govern
ment will dissolve parliament and ap-
peal to the voters through q general
election early In 1915. This campaign
will be devoted to the discussion Of
Lloyd-George's land reform BILL and
as this bill is so devised as to place q
tax on lands which heretofore have
been insufiiciently taxed or have es-
capped taxation altogether, and as it
will increase the revenues without i'm
posing an additional tax burden ON the
people generally, the government is
confident Of being returned to power
with an increased majority IN tho house
of commons.

HIGH-CLASS SWINDLER.

IL the charges against him are true
Lorenzo B. Adams, who was arraigned
before a United States commissioner
IN New York Friday. is a swindler in
q. class by himself and entitled to some
degree of renown. Adams did not
waste his timo going from door to door
trying to unload worthless securities
His art was too well developed for that
commonplace method Of extracting
sheke1s from the unwary.
Instead, ho went to the promoters Of
companies who had stock to sell to the
public, and gave them TO understand
that he not only had corps oH trained
agents for such work, but q large
clientele Of investors who relied upon
his word as to the worth OF the securi-
ties offered. The promoters were en-
thusiastic. Here was a man who would
sell their stock TO his customers and
turn over the money. No bother; no
worry. What cinch!
Tt turned out, however, that Adams
played the promoters for dupes in
stead Of the public. Now they are
going to testify against him in the fed
eral court to get even. It may be their
stocks had some value, but there has
been so much junk unloaded in times
past that the promoters will receive
little sympathy for having been victim
lied by the clever Lorenzo B. Adams.

Things We Are Learning.

(FTom ex-President Taft IS speech at
the New York dinner of the Penn
sylvanla society.
We have been in the habit of re-
garding the United States as fortunate
in Its birth. We have supposed that
there was no other government in the
world that had such n galaxy Of patri-
otto statesmen to preside over its birth
as this American republic of ours.
But it was reserved for what John Muir
calls "these God-forgetting progress

struck from the brain of man.
But we are not advised by this So

Of government bonds, and possibly of

TERRAZAS A PAUPER.

Alberto Terrazas, member of the
richest family in Mexico, faces the
prospect Of working in order to gain
livelihood for himself and family. Per
haps he Will live longer and be happier
as a result OF his experience if be is
really compelled to take his place in
the ranks Of the mighty army Of toilers.
It is also probable that he will have
more consideration for his unfortunate
countrymen If any considerable amount
of the Terrazas property is restored to
the family when Mexico emerges from
the fiery furnace.
Don Luis Terrazas, now past eighty
years of age and the head of the fam
ily, is a refugee at FL Paso, having
fled from Chihuahua with the federal
army before the city was occupied by
Villa and his victorious band of reb~
els. Juan, one Of the sons, is in the
CITY OF Mexico, and Luis, Jr., is being
held for ransom, half million dollars
being the amount demanded. Surely the
members of the richest family in Me1i~
co have fallen upon evil days.
! The elder Terrazas was q favorite
with President Juarez and President
Diaz. He was granted millions upon
millions Of acres Of land. Some Idea
| OF the immensity Of his domain may be
! gained when it is stated that it would
take passenger train, making the
usual stops, three days to travel its
boundaries; that 1t stretches from Juar-
eZ $40 miles south and west to Casas
| Grandes, and that on 1t are whole towns,
many hamlets. mines, factories and fer
| tile farms.
The present value of the estate, which
has been declared forfeited by the reb-
els. is estimated at between $35,000,000
and $4O,000,000. The thousands Of cat
tie belonging to the family are being
slaughtered for use of the rebel army
or sold TO supply the siuews Of war.
The poems, who were little better than
slaves under the old regime, have been
supplied with arms and are now fighting
for home they can call their own.
Old Porfirio Diaz never entertained
the least idea of bettering tho condition
Of the poorer classes in Mexico The
holdings of the Creel, Terrazas and
other families were constantly augment

THE NEW PARLIAMENT.

The parliament which will open in
London next Tuesday will be one Of the
most important In history. It will make
the final move In the long fight for
and against homo rule.
The Liberal government, supported by
combination Of Liberal members and
Irish Nationaliste, will carry through a
home rule bill which already has been
passed twice by the commons, only to
be rejected by the house Of lords, and
the government has a sufficient major
ity to secure its passage for tho third
time. The bill will then be sent to
George V, who will afflI his signature,
and the battle Of centuries for self
government In Ireland will come to g.
triumphant end.
The house of lords succeeded in frus-
trating every attempt to carry through
this important measure until three
years ago. In 1909 Lloyd George pre-
sented his famous budget, which was
opposed rabidly by the. upper house.
This marked the turning point In mod
ern English politics, and the parlia-
ment act, which was the result, abol-
isbed the absolute veto Of the house of
lords and paved the way for genuine
democratic reforms.
Under the new dispensation a bill be-
comes law in spite Of the house Of lords
when it has been passed by three con-
secutlve sessions Of the house Of COM
mons. In accordance with the parlia-
ment act, the home rule bill is now
about to be made law against the
will of the upper house and in spite of
the strenuous opposition of the Tory
party, which under tho leadership Of
Balfour's successor, Mr.. Bonar Law. is
lending its support to military threat.
! Pretending to represent the Irish prov
ince of Ulster, the leaders of the rebel
hon declare that the army which they
have recruited will resist the Dublin
parliament by force Of arms. The
weakness Of the Unionist menace, how.
ever, can be appreciated when 1t is re.
called that a majority Of the parlia.
mentary representatives Of Ulster sup
port home rule. The stronghold Of
those who are backing the insurrection
is Belfast and the immediate neighbor-
hood, where the Orangemen declare
"home rule" means "Rome rule -
Even the Belfast men, however, prob
ably would have bowed 10 the VIII Of a
majority of the Irish people but for the
fact that they had been kept in a state
Of fear and excitement by the agitntors
Of tho Unionist party. Unionist lead
ers, indeed, are not go much interested
in defeating home rule rs they are in
preventing, or Mt least delaying, social
reforms devised by the present govern,
meut and particularly by Mr.. Lloyd.

Threats had been made by the men

a clue to the murderers. 1t appears
that after the murder Demolo went
home and while drinking there with
his uncle, Dominick Chicarello, he
told the latter there would be no more
trouble with Simonetti. The uncle
asked: "How's that?" and then
Demolo took him down the road and
showed him the dead mans body.
After their arrest, Demclo became

MINER SHOT WITH
BLANK RTRIDGE

The wound was inflicted by a blank
cartridge. The wadding Of the cart
ridge had penetrated the mans shirt
and undershirt, but had not pene-
trated the skin. Only slight bruise
was caused, which resulted in small
exhibition of blood. When the wound
was sponged he walked happily out Of
the hospital.
Luigi Dalsant, friend of the man
who was shot, went before Magistrate
T.. G. Nicewarncr and swore out a
warrant against Otto Cora, charging
him with the shooting, which, it is
alleged, occurred about 10 O'clock
Sunday night in boarding house at
the Pinnickinnick settlement.
Through strange coincidence of
oyersights, the wounded mans name
was not learned, either by the magis-
