A Treasure House
Of Resources

1uS udIly M6AlCdu news tells
of death, restitution and para
lyzed industry. Our people do
not realize what reservoir of
resources and wealth is tied up
as the result of human folly.
The original resources of the
United States are to an extent
depleted and squandered. Land
is high, and food of all kinds will
eventually cost much more money
than today. Mexico's idle land
can feed millions, and her mines
and forests can set industry in
motion.
Mexico is a natural field-for the
enterprise of American business
men. If order can be restored,
great deal of this wealth will
ultimately flow into the United
States. The profits of mines, for
ests and fieldslwill be spent here,
This is possible without exploit
ing the Mexican people, or deny
ing them their fair share of the
product.
In one church in Guadalupe.
the altar vessels, ratings. can
delabra, etc., include fifty tons
in silver. This is but a slight
suggestion of the abundance of
the precious metals. Rich as are
these treasures, t h e country
would be four times as wealthy
today had its fields instead Of its
mines been developed,
The wasting of the forests by
this profligate race is almost I'M
believable. The nomadic tribes
of Guerrero are accustomed to
burn over rich lands yearly to
obtain fields for their sickly gar
dens. The next year they move
into some new locality and de-
stroy more of these wonderful
trees for the same temporary
purpose. A great tree will often
be cut by the Mexicans to get a
single board.
Mexican civilization has had
many fine aspects, and there
must b elements of stability
that at last will assert them,
selves. Irritating and costly as
is the present turmoil, there will
be rich reward if peace can be
restored. A country that for
many years under Diaz had a
regular treasury surplus ought
to be a valuable neighbor.

LETTER FROM D. B. NULL
Washington, d. G
July 5, 1914.

Fitzgerald, Ga.
To the Democrats of the South:
Don't you be worried about the
financial condition of the country.
The American people today are the
most prosperous nation in the
world. They have everything that
a people could wish for at their
hand. We have $50 90 per capita
for every man, woman and child
in the United States. While some
things are high others are low in
price, making everything equal.
Also wages are higher and the in
creased demand for labor in most
of the factories and the new enter
prlses is creating great demand
for skilled and common labor. The
Republicans are trying to make it
appear that the country is IN bad
condition but the country is show
ing up in entirely different condi-
ton, There are lot of the fac
tories that are way behind with
their orders and will have to ex-
tend their factories and employ
more hands to get their orders out
this fall. Some of the factories
are refusing to accept any more
orders as they have more than
they can fill this fall. AS far as
the condition of the country is
concerned. I don't suppose it was
ever better in the history of the
United States than it is at the
present time, according to the re-
port from all over the country. As
| said, we have plenty of money
to do business on. Our United
States Treasury never was in bet
ter condition than today. We
have today in the Treasury a net
balance of $299, 1886, 5000. When
the Democrats took charge of the
Treasury they had 1925, 900, 600. A
working balance gives us a total
increase of over $4,000, 900.
Why should we worry. Take our
agricultural prospect. 1t never was
better. The world report on wheat
shows that we will produce in the
United States about 20 to 25 per
cent increase over last years pro-
duction. If each person was to
receive his or her equal share it
would amount to about nine bush
els. And according to this report
we are going to have correspond
ingly increased production in
every thing else. So, as said be-
fore, why should the American
people worry? The Fourth Of
July just passed was a very pleas
ant day here;l 1t was cloudy all
day and the maximum temperature
was about IS. 1t is estimated that
fifty thousand people attended the
celebration on the Washington
monument grounds. An unex.
pected hard rain came up Just as
the main part of the fire works
was In display, and, as hardly no
one had prepared for rain, hun
dreds of the people were drenched
in their summer apparel, among
whom were many babies and little
children. 1t was not only sprink-
ling but a baptising that made it
very uncomfortable as if was very
cool Tho procidant rro,,+ m Dill

LEW IS POSTPONED

The board of county commissioners
has postponed making the tax levy
until the first of next week in order
to be guided by the findings of the
court in a case the county of San Mi
guel has brought against the Santa
Fe railway to collect $9,19Z75, por-
tion of the first installment of the
railroads taxes, and representing the
bridge levy. At the time the railroad
made the payment of the balance of
it's taxes for the first half of the year,
it protested this levy, refusing to pay
it on the grounds that it was an er-
roneous tax, and the county has
brought a suit in the district court.
The case will be heard before District
Judge David j. Leahy Saturday morn

The most recent British victim of
