A ZINE SELECTION

The Prohibitionists of Texas have
displayed more wisdom in the selec-
ton of Col. Thomas H. Ball as their
candidate for governor this year than
they have in any political move in
recent years. Not that Colonel Tom
will fully satisfy all the Prohibition
lists. Those Prohibitionists who would
force their views upon all The people
at any cost, regardless of constitu-
tional rights, will find that Ball is
too big a man for that small work.
Colonel Ball declares squarely for
prohibition, but he saws it is not a
party question, and he does not align
himself with the national prohibition
movement. But, although he is in
favor OF the abolition of the liquor
traffic, Colonel Ball does not propose
to neglect or sacrifice any of the
great. questions before the people. If
elected he proposes to give the people
of Texas a safe, sane, conservative
business administration, fair to all
interests of the state. He says:
Education must be placed in the
reach of every child.
"The eleemosynary institutions
must be improved.
agricultural interests must be
preserved and fostered.
"The land problem must be solved so
as to enable every honest and in
dustrious citizen to own his own
home.
penal institutions must be made
selfsustaining.
should be reformed and simplifled so
as to cut out technical Instructions,
unnecessary expenses and unreas-
enable delay.
Capital desiring honest investment
| with the purpose to obey the law
should be assured of hearty welcome
and protection.
Labor should be protected and
given recognition of it's just demands
"Put the state on a cash basis and

"Amend the election laws so as tc

VdCTORIANO HUERTA.

In view of the crisis in Mexico
which may plunge the UAited States
into war that nobody wants, the
personality of General Huerta, the
head of the de facto government OF
Mexico, who is responsible for the
present situation, becomes OF great
interest to two nations.
Huerta is not Castilian. He is al
most iure-plooded Indian. He was
born a peoa, on ranch near Quad
alajara, in the state of JallSco. In
his youth he labored in the fields
like other poems, totally uneducated,
half savage. He attracted the atten-
ton of Porfirio Diaz when he was
about 90 years Old and the old dicta-
tor sent the Indian boy to the mill
tary school OF Chapuletepec, near
Mexico City, where he gained an
education in military tactics, but III
little else
Diaz made Huerta general be-
cause of his known loyalty to the die
tator. To military dictator person
al loyalty is more important thar
military or political ability, anc
Huerta rose high in favor OF Diaz
Huerta was selected by Diaz to leae
the federal troops in northern MeXl
clio in The Madero revolution of 1910
but he made a failure of the cam
paign. When the aged president lef
Mexico, Huerta found favor will
Madero and managed to retain his
confidence to the last, although
Madero's friends always suspected
Huerta.
Even Huerts S closest friends sa!
that he is man of inferior mental
ity, who derives his main pleasure:
in life from women and wine. He il
a hard drinker of aguardneafe an'
is not particularly choice in hi
selection of boon companions. In thu

PRACTICAL MANUAL TRAINING.

| NNcIlplllS Dcdl)
London has elaborated the trade
school idea to include the work of
Quitting women with en- equipment
to face life's struggles. In the six
trades schools of London, four of
which are under direct control of the
London county council and two Of
which are connected with the poly
technic institutions, aided by grants
from the London county council, va
rious trades of the traditional remin-
list classes such as dressmaking, lad
les tailoring, corset making, MILL
merry, embroidery, cooking, laundry
work are being taught. In addition to
competent teachers these schools have
enlisted in their interests advisory
committees OF employers of the
classes of working women being de-
veloped by the schools one result Of
which is that employment at profita-
bic wages awaits the capable students
of khese schools.
This is far better than window
washing. If England could induce
her rowing and maraudng army Of
sutfragists to pay little more atten-
ton to their husbands and household
/ duties and show less aggressiveness
; in demanding the vote, the nation
would be far better off.
Idleness is the great factor of dis
order. Women with nothing to do
drift into gossip. Some women are
willing to do certain work if they
knew how.
Every girl. whether she is born in a
family of wealth OR whether she is
dependent upon others, should be
taught some means of making llv-
ing. History is filled with instances
where fortunes have been swept away
and families used to luxury have been
forced to make their own living. Few
have ever been prepared to do this.
1t is because SO many girls are not
that they drift into vice. The healthy
minded girl who is independent, who
can go out into the world and earn
her own bread, need have no appre-
tensions as to the future. She will do
we'll and she will find strong men
willing and anxious to help her.
The vocational school idea is
spreading and extending throughout
the civilized world with the result
that it brightens the prospect Of
youth and heartens young people with
the knowledge that they will enter
upon their career with some technical
acquaintance, with some manual deX-
terity in those lines of work in which
the world stands constantly in need
of workers.
There is a feeling Of independence
and freedom when one has a profess
sion to depend upon however humble
it may be.

avoiding serious complications and
giving the United States an opportun-
ity to show its purpose of Furnishing
Huerta and his supporters only.
In an interview with Consul Caro-
Tiers, which has been forwarded to
the state department, General Villa is
reported as expressing high regard
for Americans, and having said that
he would not be drawn into war with
this country, and at the same time
denouncing Huerta. 1t is also under
stood that Carothers sent confidential
information that Villa and Carranza
do not view the seizue of Vera Cruz
in the same light.
Villa said he was not consulted in
the drafting of the Carranza note,
which was regarded as somewhat hos
tile in tone.
The rebel leader told Carothers
that one of the chief reasons he came
to Juarez was to show the American
people that his attitude was friendly
and that he did not fear to trust him
self on the border without a military
escort behind him.
Carothers took supper with Villa
and canvassed the situation thorough.

tween mouthfuls, 81 hope the Amer

who recently left Fort Bliss to be-
come assistant chief OF staff at Wash

Doubt exists il some circles, how
ever. that Villa is sincere. His repu-
tation as trickster casts suspicious
upon his motives, but the administra-
ton nevertheless accepts Carothers
Interpretation of the interview in a

The president is beginning to recog-
nize that the clamor is growing all
over the United States to send troops

ORCHARD FARM CHANGES SUPER

on account of the i'll health Of his wife,
W. H. Ledoux, for two years superin-
tendent of the Orchard farm Of the East
ern Fruit and Nut Orchard company in
Grand Isle. has resigned his position
and on April I WILL return to his market
garden farm in South burlington.
The management of the Orchard com
pany has secured the services OF y. w.
Van Clave of Spokane, Wash, for two
years, and he has arrived in this city
to assume charge and move on the farm
April l.
Mr. Van Clave is an Orchardist of ex-
pcrience in the great apple region In the
Northwest made famous by the perfect
red apples it grows and furnishes to a
well-nigh world wide market. Believing
that the East furnishes on the whole a
much better opportunity for commercial
orchardlng than the West, especially
when markets are considered Mr.. Van
Clave decided to dispose of his five
years old co acre apple orchard In the
Yakima valley, Wash. and to locate in
the East It Is n matter of no little con-
sequence to Vermont that this well in
formed orchardist decides that Of all the
East, Champlain valley offers the best
opportunity. In this decision he reflects
the conviction of many of the best In
formed orchardsts Of the country.
In order to come East Mr. Van Clave
resigned the position of inspector and
field manager of the Spokane Apple
Growers association. The membership
OF this association operates over 5000
acres of orchards.

WHY EUROPEAN FARMERS
COOPERATE.
Their Reasons ard Method
b. II. HIBBARD,

The question is often asked why Euro
pean farmers cooperate while American
farmers struggle along unorganized. 1t is
not because of any fundamental differ
cnccs in the men, but rather to the wide
ly different conditions under which the
farming Of Europe and that Of America
is done. The European farmer was i'm
desperate circumstances. Something had
to be done. For example, the hard
times Of the middle OF the 18th century
left the German farmer in a fair way to
lose the ownership of his farm, for he
WAS without money and almost without
credit, Fortunately n wise ana benevolent
man started a cooperative credit COM
pany and so marked was it's success that
there are to-day over 1900 such compan-
les alone, and they are still increasing in
numbers at a rapid rate.
In the dairy business there was a SINH
lar cause FOR the development OF co-opcra-
tluu. In Denmark for example, there was
no adequate market for the butter made
on the farms. 1t was necessary that
something be done, and about 30 years
ago the Danes adopted the co-opera'
tive System Of butter making which
had been tried both IN the United states
and in Germany, and have made it one Of
/ the remarkable examples Of agricultural
cooperation i'm the world. Buttcr Is one

! they learned to market II go successfully
/ comparatively that Denmark only one
/ third as large as the state of New York
and with population equal to that o
Iowa, exports $1,000, 900 worth OF butter g
week
I SUCCESS DUE TO SEVERAL. CAUSES
The SUCCESS of cooperation in Europe
! though due in the main to the dire need
of the farmer, compelling him to submit
to regulations not always to his liking, Is
due to other circumstances as well. Fol
one thing the European farmer Is perma
nently located and rarely sells one form
and moves to another This gives HIN
stability which an American community
seldom has. Again the European farmou

THE DRIFT IN CHICAGO.

In the election OF 1912 Mr.. Roosevelt led

In the Chicago city primaries Of this
year the republican men voters outnum-

than six to one.
