The Right Man.

\ German came along. He had been
in Mexico for a quarter of a century.
He defended Diaz. but said that there
had been many abuses.
Then he turned to me and inquired
casually:
rs the United states going to put Villa
on the throne?"
] replied that the United States was
not setting up a throne for anybody.
Well said the German. lit is the
same thing and Villa is the man you
had better back. He can rule this coun-
try, and it's got to have ruler"
A cab driver announced himself to me
as Porfirista. He didn't stand on the
street corner and do it, though.
Said the cab driver
Il worked hard all my life. and saved
some money. Under Diaz there was
peace. and always there was work. He
was an honorable man and a good presl-
dent. but there were many men who
never worked. They joined the revolu-
ton. The revolution took my horses
away. 1t paid me nothing. Just took
them The men I knew who never
worked rode them away, but they had
an order from the jefe military COM
mandant) They were like Villa, they
We're robbers. When the war Is over
they will not work, but Villa will send
them to rob us who do work.
From these diverse views it would ap-
pear that the Mexican question is
many-sded one and that public opin
ion, if there can be said to be such
thing does not follow unanimously in
the wake of triumphant arms.

exactly the same plan, and had buried
their extra guns before they made their
appearance.
With the knowledge that this sort of
thing has been going on. it is perhaps
natural that doubt should be felt as to
the early pacification of the country after
the actual war is ended Villas lieuten-
ants and followers are confident that they
will be able to overcome this condition,
and will quickly stamp out brisandage,
as they have been doing recently in Chi
huahua. by wholesale executions of the
brigands. There are some people, how
ever who doubt whether these recent
executions have been confined to bandits.
A Grueling Year.
While Americans who came out of
northern Mexico at the time Of the car
rama manifesto against the landing Of
American troops at Vera Cruz are still
cautious about returning. many Mexican
families who moved to the American side
of the border after the revolt WAS started
against Iurrta are going back.
Until Saltillo was occupied by the con-
stitutionaist forces the families of many
of the constituencies leaders lived in
FL Paso. Ii was a grueing year of alter
nate despair and hope for them. The
wife of one of the most prominent of the
constitutionalist leaders gave me q men,
tai glimpse of what it had been.
She was complaining that Americans
did not understand things as they are in

1t is the testimony of Americans along
the border. and also of the Mexicans
themselves, that there never was a time
when SO large a quantity of small arms

American on one of the remote ranches
in Chihuahua told me that every peon
who had Joined the troops on either side
and who for any reason had come back
to the ranch had hidden away somewhere
an extra rifle with plenty of ammunition.
In Durango the same story was told
me. and A case was cited where two de-
serters, one from the federals and one
from the constitutionalSts. had come to
the ranch to ask for work. They We're
badly needed. but before they Were al
lowed to go out their arms were taken
from them, not because they We're likely
to harm each other. but because it was
not well to have armed poems roaming
over the ranch. Within a week it was
found. nevertheless, that each Of them
had a complete outfit, good rifle and
plenty of cartridges. They had followed

Commissioner Sells of the Indian office
has called for the resignation of all
Cherokee officials. The dissolution of
the tribe is in accordance with the
policy of the Indian office.
Under the law it was intended that
the five civilized tribes should dissolve
as nations in 1906. Congress. however,
extended that time in the discretion of
the Indian office. The Seminole nation
practically has been dissolved.

in a great while finds some one who has
a revolver about his person and lot of

became known that the guards were

The Mexican soldier whether he is a
bandit soldier. guerrilla or regularly
enrolled in Villas army or in the federal
ranks, must have liberal supply of
cartridges, and he loves to have them
where he can display them. A heavy
belt across each shoulder is the usual
way, but some of the Mexican soldiers
are not satisfied with two belts. They
want half dozen. and sometimes with
these strapped around the waist they
have a perfect armor. only an armor

UNCLE SAM AFLOAT.
Wife in the Navy.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

When the foreigner studies the admin
istration Of our navy, he ceases to Won
der that the American sailor is the best
gunner in the world and that he habtu-
ally acquits himself with honor when put
to the. test He learns that the enlisted
men in the United States Navy are not
drawn from among the misfits. the unem-
playable and the incorrigibles but are
recruited from the best young men of the
land. When an occasional undesirable
character slips by the recruiting officer
it is not long before he is found out and
eliminated by dishonorable discharge. Our
navy is one of the few navies in the world
which is not refuge for the feeble
minded nor training school for the I'M
mana scahle. nor Vet 4 haven for the
weary. The high cha racter of its person

Of the service. Ii has made possible the
esprit de corps which is shared in by the
admiral and by the ordinary seaman

Persona! fitness is the only passport to
sailors berth, and an honorable dis
charge from the navy is sufficient recon-
meNdatlon for any position of trust upon
re-entering civil life. This speaks in most
certain terms for the men who operate
our warships.
