"BARBARous MEXICO

You may recall that some years
ago a certain magazine, having some-
what exhausted the muckrakink pos
sibiities of this land of the free press
sent an able artist in that line to
Mexico with the result that the Diaz
dynasty came in for an awful pam
ming. The horrors therein set forth
ranged from control of the voting ma
chinery by machine guns instead of
ward heelers, to plain and fancy
slavery in the fever swamps Of Yucca
tan and points south. That writing
person made great case against
Mexico, and much of 1t may have
bene based on facts, for all we know
to the contrary, but a knowledge of
the course of undertaking warrants
the belief that much of it was made
to order, exaggerated and distorted
to suit the occasion and make the
irate readers snort.
What is known for a fact is that
the Madero revolt followed, to be fol-
lowed in turn by a revolt of the
younger Diaz, and Huerta, and Car
rama and Villa and others too nu-
merous to mention, until manslaugh-
ter has become the favorite pastime
of a large proportion of the popu-
lace. Business and industry are all
shot to pieces, and natural resources
are remaining steadfastly in a nat
ural state for a lack of foreign capi-
tai to develop them. 1t is also ad-
mittedly true that Mexico made its
greatest strides in business and de-
velopment during the regime of Por-
frio Diaz, even if he did rule in a
rough way. There is some reason
to believe that that is the only way
that will work in Mexico, and even
it doesn't seem to work very well,
now that so many rival patriots have
sprung up.
Which may not make the muck
raking magazine responsible for Mex
ico's continuous performance, but
the widespread disturbance followed
so closely, that there may have been
connection. And certainly agita-
tors of one kind and another, foreign
and domestic, have done more toward
making Mexico barbarous than did
Diaz during his long and prosperous
rule, Doubtless majority of Mex
leans would like to swing back to
those days, but there doesn't seem
to be any way; Mexico has started
something it can't stop.

sI6,764,433 is PAID TO FARMERS,
TO LAB0RERS AND FOR SUP
PLIES BOUGHT IN COLORADO

Colorado's beet sugar crop for 1914
beats all records in value, attain
ing the high figure Of S19,470,330 at
the factory price, which excludes all
freight and other marketing costs.
This industry, the greatest of the
agricultural class, caused the distri-

of which went to farmers, labor and
for supplies most of which were pur-
chased here
To plan, cultivate and garner the
crop, s12,452,233 was paid out to
farmers and their help, the remand
er going into factory costs.
While the beet production fell off
121, 900 tons from 1918, the sugar con-
tent was higher than last year, though
there was a deficit Of nearly 27,000,-
900 pounds. The total yield in refin-
ed sugar was 432,674. 900 pounds of
Of factory worth of $40 900. Prices
run g bit higher at the factory than
they did last year.
The acreage Of the year was 1884,
3l8 rs compared with 168,410 last
year, and the beet production was L.
10000 tons, as compared with 1,S4i,-

VOLUNTEERS AND REGULARS.

There is at this writing, and will
be for some time hence, considerable
fault-hnding with our puny army.
Much of it is devoted to the theory
that volunteers, as fighting men don't
amount to much. That the regular
whose business is fighting, should do
better than the volunteer, seems
reasonable enough. Certainly, he
should know the game at its various
angles better than men whose life
has been devoted to peaceful pursuits.
He 10 bound to be better drilled and
commanded by abler experts in the
art Of war than the volunteer. He
wanted war when 1t came, Mr.. Kip
ling having outlined the regulars
duty as keeping his accoutrements
clean and praying for war;" hence he
should approach the real work of con-
flict with considerable enthusiasm.
The volunteer, before trouble came,
hoped that it would be avoided and
that he might attend to his own small
affairs A. usual, instead of taking up
arms and going about the nations
business. That much is theory, and
IT isn't for US to say that it won't
work out true enough as general
proposition. But here are some facts
about Savage war Of peace" which
won't he found in the archives of the
war department:
In 1900, the campaign on the Is
land of Leyte concerned itself with
chasing and capturing General Mo.
jica, who had an organization of con-
siderable force, and particularly well
armed for Filipino army. In April
Of that year Mojica occupied a par
ticularly strong position in noun
tain fastness, known as La Paz.
Three expeditions, each from com
pany and half to two companies in
strength were to have moved on those
Notifications the 26th of April. True
to the military experts theory, the
detachment Of regulars arrived first,
Bus after that the theory didn't seem
to work cut very well. One of the
volunteer detachments was in sound
OF the firing, and soon went into ac
tion on anothe, front. AS fights 20
in 1uch little affair, it was warm
encounter, ant lasted so long that
ammnniti,n ot the attacking force
was running low. This may have
been what caused the regulars to re-
treat. and 1t may have been, as ugly
rumor limited, q lieutenant in COM
msnd, who wore streak of yellow
among his decorations. Anyhow, it
caused the volunteers to send out
party which scaled cliff
BY hanging on with their eyebrows,
and which later charged a sallyport
one trench, and which
proved the key to the whole position.
The Filipinos beat it.
Which may not prove anything in
