Paso comes the report that the rich
southern state of Yucatan has resolv-
ed to secede from the Mexican re-
public and secure permission from
the United States to become a pro-
tectorate of this government.
1t is believed also that the Mexican
territory of Quintana Roo, to the
south of Yucatan, viii join in the
movement. This would form a solid
block on the south of Mexico, under
American control or protection, adj
joining Central America. Yucatan
has sought for half a century to Sc
cede from the central government of
Mexico and being, as it is, geograph-
ioally isolated and cut off from rail-
road connection with other parts of
the republic, the move would be
good one for itself and of much ad-
vantage to the United States.

"My fight is simply the fight of the
poor people for a chance to live. We
want conditions. under which the
children can be educated and brought
up to be intelligent citizens.
Education and civilization take
away from. men a few things which
books and learning fail to put into

in Mexico is that they obey the laws
and don't try to take everything out
of the country without leaving some
thing behind. ..'
Mexico will be without liquor

1t is not only the effect of the stuff

effect upon those who are to come.

Ancient Highway in Maryland.

valued traditions while giving sane
tion to the established use of roads
that have been traversed century or
more, says Baltimore American. There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring of the old roaus
and trails. This is manifest in the
movement that contemplates memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens of essay
lists and psets. In the far West agi-
tation for the preservation of the OLD
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemoriaI will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible ana,
where obliterated by the path of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always De en-
braced In the conclusions of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities al
fectea. But the main proposition Ia
that the people of Maryland are unit
for the continuance of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
ly advantaged by the construction OF
paved streets from the country line
ever roads that enter the city. II
has deep interest in the prosecution
of the good roads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities OF
the entire state. The traffic and trans
portation advantages are immense
while the state is thereby elevated in
the view of the country at large. Let
the good roads work go on.

er and Sheep Steady

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 90
The cattle market after Monday last
week showed declines of 5 to IS cents
on the various classes. Stockers and
feeders lost their gain of the first Of the
week, especially feeders, which found
slow sale. Receipts today are $4,000
head. and the market is strong on all
classes. A large share on the supply is
stoekers and feeders. bsef grades being
relatively scarce. and good to choice
finished cattle entirely lacking. A drove
OF short fed middle class steers weighing
S6.55. and good quality short fed steers I,
some of them Of good weights. sell at 81
to 81 rs. pretty high grade steers being
required to get above So. The sentiment
prevails here that beef cattle will be
plentiful through the winter and also
during the grass season next summer
Hogs arrived to the number of 5000
head today. The market opened steady,
but the broad demand that has featured
the trade recently asserted Itself. and
the close was higher, great many
hogs selling at the top. S66o bulk of
sales S65o to $3.50.
Sheep and lambs sold steady today.
pea fed lambs selling at 50. which figure
has been the top price each day since
last Monday. Receipts were 5000 head.
and the supply contained some good
yearlings at 81 $50, wethers at SO so.
and medium ewes at $3.50. Lambs
which have not had a good finish sell
around $3.50 and feeding lambs. sorted
out of immature lots Of fed westerns
bring up to Ss,25. From appearances
