- - Att and Santo Domingo share
jointly an island comprising
roughly about $4,000 square
miles, and having a total pop
ulation of nearly 100000.
Haiti has nearly the population of
Santo Domingo, but only a little more
than half its area.
For 100 years Haiti and for half
that period Santo Domingo have been
cause of continual anxiety to the
United States. Since gaining their
independence both have been In a
state of constant upheaval and blood
shed as result of a practically un-
broken succession of revolutions. In
the last 20 years United States naval
vessels have been in almost constant
attendance about the island, and ma
rines have several times been landed
for the protection of foreign life and
property. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that Haiti and Santo Domingo
have cost the United States more
money in the last 20 years than would
have been spent had this government
assumed responsibility for and control
over the island.
The story of Haiti is story of mis-
cry. The characters are childish me-
groes, who play at dignity, spill blood
and do no work. In natural advan-
tages, Haiti is land of fertile opu-
lence. but what is human there is de-
based and wretched.
A race of simple children pretend
there at being kings and emperors and
presidents. All to themselves. they
possess part of wonderful island,
where once they were slaves. They

violence. Negroes fell heir to magnifi-
cent plantations after the expulsion OF
their French masters. But they show
poor accounting for their steward
ship. They have squandered their
subsistence in civil war and the lux
ury of sluggish ease. A family here
and there camps in the wilderness, liv-
ing on coffee that grows wild, picking
the fruits on every side, and perhaps
growing few yams. Should a man
aspire to what he could call farm, he
would have to leave 1t for military
service. or perhaps see it ruined by
ravaging hordes of armed politicians.
Consequently. the vast natural re-
sources of the country are not ex-
plotted. The island has been called
the richest of all the West Indies.
Anything that is planted will grow
and yield crop after crop the same
year. The hills are covered with for
ests of fine wood, practically I'm
touched. Cotton might one day mean
great wealth for Haiti, but its an
nual export now does not exceed a
few thousand tons. There are also to-
bacco, hides. sugar, corn, rice, rich
metal deposits, and the great staple.
coffee, the production of which has
fallen off of late years by almost
half.
White Mans Influence Resented.
But should foreigner attempt any
thing for the development or uplifting
of Haiti, he is fretted by obstacles at
every turn. The negroes have wanted
nothing of the white man. They are
absurdly Jealous. absurdly suspicious.
The cost of the white mans absence
is misery. but Haiti chooses to pay It.

jim MANN, KING OF DETAIL

James r. Mann. the Republican
floor leader. is the King of Detail.
Nothing is too small or too numerous
for him to know all about. Ask Mann
what were the amounts of the princi-
pal items in the agricultural appro-
priation bill seventeen years ago and
ne doubt he could tell you without
pausing to move an eye-winker. It is
almost safe to say that he can skin
q gnat and that he can tell offhand
the day of the week when each OF the
house page boys was born.
No minute detail escapes him.
He knows everything. Also Mann
never lacks for . word. The person
who willfully engages Mann in battle
of repartee has much the same fool
hardy point of view as the lad who
monkeys with buzz saw.
Representative Johnny Garner Of
Texas was the only person at the last
session of congress who asked Mann
anything that he didn't answer.

the Mexican policy Of the present adm

ANSBERRY WAS SILENCED

Representative Timothy Ansberry
of Ohio is a talker whose voice pene-
trates to the deepest recesses of the
capitol, and when he speaks the roof
reverberates with his booming. A
whisper from Ansberry is equivalent
to an ordinary mans talking, so the
feat of telling joke in an undertone
is one which he will be obliged in fu-
ture to deny himself.
One day Ansberry was telling a
good story to a fellow-member in
what he imagined was, like the voice
Of Annie Laurie, low and sweet"
But it resembled the echoing of dis
tant cannon from the field at Ma
nassas.
The gentleman who was speaking
showed his annoyance at the sound,
and Speaker Clark thumped his
gavel. Clark. who was once school
teacher in his days of callow youth,
knew just what to do, SO he called
Ansberry up to the desk.
"Tim," he said In low tone as he

MExICO'S DARK HORSE

Manuel vasquez Tagle seems to
be the dark horse" in the contest of
the presidency of Mexico, and there
are many who believe he is one of the
few men who can save that distracted
country.
The name of Tagle disappeared
from publications on current Mexican
affairs when Victoriano Huerta leaped
over the back of Pedro Lascurain into
the presidency or the dictatorship.
Tagle had been minister of justice I'M
der Francisco Madero and he not only
refused to accept ONCE under Huerta,
but he declined to take the man by
the hand. Yet the man lived there
after in Mexico City, walked the
streets, went to the theater, enter
tanned his friends at his home and was
not harmed.
He has lived in Mexico City ever
since and no one else has harmed him
or tried to harm him, whether he be
Zapata, Villa, Carranza or what not.
The mobs have never looted his home.

the officers. but could not remember
anything. or how he came TO be in the
condition described above In some
manner II became known that n man

ger was seen walking west on Thirty

near the 3. & o. track his condition
attracted the attention OF two men,
who lifted him into a box car on the
