Senior Algara Grave.

Senior Algara's face wore an express
sion of gravity. This ending to his long
sustained efforts to maintain and further
cordial relations between his government
and the government Of the United States
he has taken much to heart, as he has
told many of his friends.
Chief Flynn was at the embassy in the
early evening, reporting to Senior Algara
as his escort. and placing himself at his
service. Learning that only a lower
berth had been found available for the
journey. the chief of the secret service
took charge of the transportation ar
rangements, and arranged for better ac-
commodations.
Senior Algara was accompanied to the
Union station by the entire embassy
staff. Several automobiles carried the
party. As the hour Of departure had
not been made public. Senior Lslgara was
not the subject of general observation
The Spanish ambassador and Sonora
Riano arrived at the terminal to see the
last of Senior Algara. The family Of
Senior Algara has wide connections in
Spain. and is as well known there as in
Mexico There has been a strong friend
ship between the Spanish ambassador
and the younger diplomat.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
to guard against the possibility of harm
to Senior AIgara- He was escorted to his
service men, and hardly the train guards
knew he had come. The Spanish am
bassador was compelled to identify him
self before he was allowed to greet his
parting colleague Of the diplomatic corps.
Senior Algara goes direct to Montreal.
There he will be domiciled for the pres
ent. under orders from the foreign once
of Mexico. to remain conveniently near
to the United States in event that his
services may again be needed at Wash
ington.

Close View of Diplomats.

Savoy has performed all kinds of con-
fdential missions for Secretaries of
State since Hamilton Fish came to the
department. forty-fve years ago. Com
ing to the State Department a mere lad.
in 1869, Savoy has had during the long
period as close a view of world diplomats
as any man now living in Washington.
In fact, he is diplomat of no ordinary
powers. No one understands this better
than the newspaper men. for Savoy, as
all diplomats must. knows when to be si-
lent, and no one ever yet succeeded in
making him disclose a secret intrusted to
him.
He it is who at state receptions and
banouets looks after the escort of the
guests to their places. He never yet put
a minister before an ambassador or for
got the precedence to be accorded the
ambassadors. So whether II is at a So
cial function or state requiem, Eddie"
Is always OH hand to keep things moving
smoothly.
His first service as bearer of pass
ports came in the first Cleveland admin
istration, when he delivered his congo to
Sir Lone Sackville- West who displeased
Mr. Cleveland by criticisms of American
politics. His second mission was per-
formed sixteen years and four days ago
when he carried to the Spanish embassy
the passports that gave Minister Luis
Polo Bernabe a safe exit out Of the

can be undertaken. There remain many
matters to be attended to. and there is a
large volume of personal matters to be
looked after with which the staff will
concern itself. Senior don Ricardo Huerta,
second secretary of embassy, is unoffi-
cially in charge
None of the consulates of Mexico in the
United States will for the present be
disturbed. The Mexican foreign office,
through the embassy, gave orders that
Mexican consuls should remain at their
posts. wherever possible.
There Is not a single error charged
against Senor Algara in his record as
charge d'affaires during the period Of
nearly two years that he has been in
charge of the embassy In Washington.
State Department officials held him in
high regard and his standing in the dip
lomatic corps was as excellent as ever
accorded any member of the Mexican
mission. He was universally liked and
admired, and his going is the occasion OF
wide regret among Americans and for
eign representatives here.
Boaz W. Long. chief OF tho bureau of
Latin American affairs. prepared the
passports He did so under the direction
of the Secretary Of State, following the
application of Senior Algara in the early
afternoon.
Eddie Savoy. veteran colored messenger
of the State Department on the door OF
the Secretary of State, who has per-
formed a similar mission On two previous
occasions, was intrusted with the pass
ports and their delivery to Senior Algara-
He arrived at the Mexican embassy at
3:25 o'clock.
In this instance, as in others. the mes
senger was enjoined by the Secretary OF
State to bring back written evidence" OF
the safe receipt of his passports by the
diplomat. So Savoy returned to the De-
partment of State with the autograph OF
Senior Algara on the wrapper which had
contained the passports. This souvenir
will be added to the unique collection OF
similar documentary evidence owned by
the messenger.

When MS payments have been COM
pleted, the settler is given deed to

-Four and one-half per cent is interest
aud one and one-half per cent is

hat hundreds of these settlers have
paid off their obligations to the gov
rrument within seven years from the
time thev went onto the land. The
government also loans these settlers
money up to sixty per cent Of the
value of their property.
Or. Mead asserts that Australia S
system of land settlement and rural
credits has worked perfectly: that
many thousands Of poor but indus
trious families have become abso-
lutely independent within a COM
paratively short time-all owing to
the liberal treatment accorded by the
government DR.. Mead declares that
the same system, modified by local
conditions, could be applied III the
United States. Dr. Mead should know
as he has studied the problem OF
farm life on three continents.
The United States would make a
good investment if it would employ
DR.. Mead to assist in solving the
rural and irrigation problems of this
country-nO matter what salary Nigh

DR.. ELWOOD MEAD.

1t was indeed a rare treat afford
ed those who had the pleasure OF
'istening to DR.. Elwood Mead, the
world-famed irrigation expert, at
the Denver Irrigation conference,
Dr. Mead is an American and
started his career as an engineer IN
Wyoming and Colorado, afterWard
brcoming identified with the build
ing of great irrigation and reclama-
ton works in both the new and the
old world.
For the past seven years Dr.
Mead has been in the employ OF
the state of Victoria, Australia, and
has had personal charge and super
,is;on over the building of several
large government irrigation projects
In that country. He has also had
supervision over the colonization OF
those projects and they are today
classed as the most successful enter
prises of the kind to be found IN
the world.
The government of Australia not
only builds it's irrigation works, but
also picks its settlers and colonies
them upon the lands under its pro
iects. When a desirable settler is
found-and Australia has found tens
of thousands of them within the
last few years - the government
builds him a house upon the land
he picks out; plants one-fourth OF
the land to a crop suitable for the
soil, and tells him that upon his in
dustry depends his chances for re-
tanning his home. The settler and
his family go to work. If he en-
cages in alfalfa and dairying, a
government expert purchases his
COWS for him; if he engages in fruit
raising, a government hOrticulturist
selects his nursery stock and in
st,ucts him in the proper method of
planting and caring for the trees
and vines. The land has cost the

ism says 1t finds it odd to see
"the Marshalltown Times Republican n,

City Freeman Tribune referring to the
republican party as something worthy
the respect of respectable citizens
and adds that "it is no fault of theirs
that the republican party has survived

This expression probably celebrates
Mr.. Hungerford's opinion and hope that
he and the Herald are fully rehabil-
itated among Carroll county republi-
cans and that those republicans are
ready to listen to party slander against
their friends. 1t recalls, however, the
