The Mndero Revolution.
The revolution under Madero was not
brought about by land hunger, or the
ills of the poems. but because of the
Vaccinations of the '.cientifcos" who
made it impossible for the rest of the
Mexicans" to put into effect agrarian
reforms which would have been of bene-
fit not only to the poems themselves.
but to the owners Of large undivided
estates which they could not induce the
poems to cultivate regularly. 1t was not
a matter of wages. for increases in
wages only lessened the number of
working days per man per acre, in exact
proportion to the increases.
The land-poor owner of vast tracts in
Mexico wants nothing better-than a
buyer for the hundreds of acres of land
he cannot obtain labor to cultivate
whether that buyer is prince or peon.
whether he pays for hfs purchase out
right in gold, or works 1t out on a fair
basis of division. labor for profit. But
the landholdcr does not want to lose
his land and his life at the same time
at the hands of a few fractional leaders
and their 10000 armed men drawn from
prisons, cutters and outlaw bands. and
this is the chimerical hope which the
factionist seeks to hold out to the work
hating peon in return for armed support.
That they have been able to enlist the
armed support of only 10000 out of Il, 00O,-
900 poems speaks well for the class.
Term of Reproach.
To this class Of landholders, small
business men-in fact every man who
in ordinary times, could boast a clean
collar around his neck and possibly
been applied the term of reproach-
and their designation has been broad
ly accepted in the United States
through the credulity of the admins
tration or the ill-equipped represen-
tatives who have been sent down there
to investigate.

Affected by Fumes.

Jags-"gasolinc jags"-have found
their way into the navy despite the
order of Secretary Daniels Licking

This is told of in q special report sub

equipped with certain types of gaso-
line engines where the gasoline Is
stored in tanks. 1t is found that both
the raw and burned gasoline have
toxic effects which differ from one an
other in degree and character.
In q typical case q man will be found
working in the submarine in close
proximity to a leak. Presently he
feels rather flighty and is conscious Of
a headache. He determines to get out
into the open air. but as he feels more
or less languid he does not hurry. He
may reach the open and his weakness
passes off and his headache is gradu-
ally relieved. Otherwise he may be
overcome with delirium. Sometimes

United States Has Every Protection
Offered by Nature and Should Net
Fear Nations of the World, Accord
ing to Bryan.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IT,
Former Secretary of State Bryan
today made public an article on the
European war and an explanation of
his position in regard to increasing
the army and navy of the United
States as a precaution against war.
The former secretary who resigned
from the cabinet several days ago,
condemned the ancient saying of
the philosophers, might makes right,
and states that this theory had gov
erned the world long enough
Mr.. Bryan in this statement begs
the people of the United States not
to listen to the sensationalists who
seek to increase the size of the army
and navy and offered as argument the
statement that preparedness pro-
notes instead of preventing warfare. -
The secretary would disarm every
nation on the globe, if possible, and
thus insure peace.
The statement issued this morning
proceeds eff any nation has legiti-
mates excuse to keep out of war
with the belligerents it is the United
States. There is no reason for us to
enter the ring. We have everything to
lose and nothing to gain"
"The United States is amply pro-
tected by nature against the rest of
the world. The Atlantic and Pacific
oceans protect US from invasion. Then
we have millions of men and billions
of dollars worth of resources that
could be used at a moments notice if
the necessity should arise"
This statement of the former chief
adviser of the president was quietly
received by official Washington. Presi-
dent Wilson through Secretary Tum-
multy announced that he was too busy
on other matters of Importance to
discuss the article.
