The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-02-26


The Mexicans hate us because we
have deprived them of territory. The
loss of Texas was serious blow, and
they have always ascribed it to us.
We took from them more than half
their territory as a result of the I'M
just war of 1847. We took advant-
age of Mexico's internal difficulties at
the time, and the Mexican war was
no great credit to our ability.
AS fact, we wanted land-and we
took it! Mexico has not forgotten
she will not forget-that act.
1t is not strange that she suspects
us in the present, with this record of
past aggression.
The idea prevails throughout the
republic that we have our eyes on
lower California and that we are en-
couraging the rebellion in the north.
It is believed that we hope to play
there the same part that we played
when Texas pronounced its inde-
pendence.
American mines, American lumber
camps, American grazing lands,

be our excuse for taking over an
other slice of their territory, and re-
ducing Mexico to the position of a
Central American state as insignifi-
cant as Guatemala.
But undoubtedly the chief reason
why the Mexicans today hate us so
heartily is that they feel we are ex-
plotting them and their country.
Everywhere they find American cap
ital owning their sources of wealth.
Blindly, they feel that they have been
defrauded. 'This is how" as John
Kenneth Turner says in his book on
''Barbarous Mexico; 'this is how the
typical Mexican farm is a millionaire
farm, and why it has been so easy for
such Americans as William Randolph

NEWSPAPER BETS ON WEATHER.
Florida Publication Given Away Free
on Days When Sun Does Not Shine.

Gambling on the weather is no in
novation among those of sporting pro-
pensities, but it remained for Lew B.
Brown, editor and proprietor of the
Evening Independent, of st. Peters,
burg, Fla, to introduce an original
method that has proved his observa-
tion and keen business and advertising
ability with profit to himself and the
community in which he labors.
'The Sunshine paper gives away It's
entire circulation absolutely free to
everybody every day the sun does not
shine on st. Petersburg. The record is
20 free issues in three years."
This brief announcement that ap-
pears at the head of the Evening In
dependent tells of one of the most
unique offers in the world today. And
Brown makes good" He is game"
On each of the 20 days on which the
sun did not shine on st. Petersburg
up to the time the Independent goes
to press p. M.-notices are printed
prominently on the front page an
nouncing that no money will be ac-
cepted for copies.
The last "free" day was October 20,
1913. and the notice read as follows:
The Independent is a free paper to-
day.
Don't pay the newsboys, carriers
or any one else for a copy.
ut is given away, absolutely free
to everybody, because the sun has not
shone upon the city today, up to the

If They Could.

The matter of exempting from tax
alton the Z. l.. Savage Manufactur-
ing Co. for a term of 10 years was a
condition that the company double its

mended that a special town meeting be

committee also recommended that in
the warrant that articles be placed

companies in Skowhegan to be ex-
empted from, taxation if they would
double their business, also that any
new company that would come. into
Skowhegan would be exempted from

table until one week, when the mat
ter would be further discussed at a
special meeting of the Board of Trade.

3Sth Birthday.

Waterville Lodge, No. 3S, l. o. G. IT,
observed its 3Sth birthday Friday eve-

was private and only lodge members
attended. The excellent program
which was planned was carried out
in a most pleasing manner. The quar-
tet, consisting of Ernest c. Alley, Wes-
ley E. Nelson, James F. Mason and
James Duncan, sung MY Chain OF
Memories" This made great hit and
the singers were obliged several times
to respond to encores. Miss Gladys e.
Rose acted as pianist. A solo by Err

farce entitled "Mulligan's Restaurant
was a feature in connection with the
evenings program. Too much credit
cannot be given those who had charge
of the affair in the excellent manner
that every detail was carried out

The Island of Kauai.

The island of Kauai is the smallest
of the four large islands of the Ha-
waiian group, containing SAT square
miles, which is somewhat less than
half the area of Rhode Island. The
highest part of Kauai consists of the
mountain mass called Waialeale.
which occupies the central part of the
island Waialeale peak is 50s0 feet
above sea level. Kawaikini peak,
about a mile farther south, is over six
thousand feet high. The east side of
WaialeaIe is almost vertical for two
thousand or three thousand feet.
There ARE numerous streams In the
island, some of which have cut deep
canyons with vertical walls. Waimea
canyon is a most remarkable gorge for
so small an island. 1t Is ten miles
long. a mile or more wide, and two
thousand to three thousand feet deep.
It's coloring and sculpture are ex-
quisite and somewhat resemble those
of the Grand canyon of the Colorado.
Kauai is the oldest of the larger Ha-
waiian islands, and consists OF one
central mountain mass. differing IN
this respect from Oahu, Maui and Ha-
waii, each of which consists OF dis
tinct mountain masses that have been
formed at different times. On ac-
count of its great variation In
topography the rainfall varies greatly
in different parts of the island, rang
ing in most Of the area from fifteen
to two hundred inches annually, and
on the summit of Waialeale probably
reaching four hundred inches. Thus
almost desertlike aridity and con-
tinual torrential downpours may be
found almost within sight of each 9TH
er. Every important stream on
Kauai is drawn upon to greater or
less extent for irrigation. Water Is
in chief demand for the irrigation of
sugar cane, but rice is also grown on
the lowlands and in all the valleys.
Pineapples are grown but are not ir-
rigated. The population Of Kauai tn
1910 was 23.952. OF these about one
half are Japanese, Chinese and
Portuguese. The island has no good
harbor but will have one in the near
future.-Geographica Survey Bulle-
