the Spaniards.
The Spanish grandees took the land, and
reduced the Mexicans to peonage.
The Spanish priests took the "souls," and
fixed a fee for almost every breath the Mexi-
cans drew
For nearly 400 years those conquered peo-
pie have been serfs on their own lands toll
ing for the Spanish grandee and the greedy,
filthy, immoral priests
native Mexican and poor parish priest
started an uprising to throw off the Spanish
yoke.
Hldalgo was the name Of the poor parish
priest, and the high-priests had him shot
Juarez was the name of the native Indian,
and he managed to escape.
The Italian pope and the Spanish priests
persuaded the Emperor Napoleon to send a
French army over to Mexico, for the purpose
of seating on the throne prince Of the Haps-
burgh house, which had owned Mexico from
the time of the Cortez conquest down to the
JuareZ revolution.
This Catholic prince took the Mexican
throne, and he shot every Mexican patriot
who resisted the foreign yoke and was unfor-
tunate enough to fall into his hands.
Then the Civil War ended, and our Gov
eminent, through William II. Seward, Secre-
tary of State, warned the French Emperor
that he was violating the Monroe Doctrine
In consequence Of this warning, the French
troops were withdrawn.
The French pleaded with the Hapsburgh
prince, Macmillan, to leave the country
under their protection.
The Mexican priests, however, persuaded
him to stay, assuring him that all the vast
wealth of the Church would be at his dis
posal in defending his throne from the de-
spised "bandits."
But the despised "bandits' were not to be
conquered. Under Juarez and Diaz these
'bandits@ finally captured the Austrian
usurper, and shot him, under his own law.
Then these bandits set hOme-rule govern
ment of their own, just as the bandits of our
American Revolution had DONE and lust as
the bandit, Simon Bolivar, did in South
America
But the priests finally got old Porfrio Diaz
under their thumbs, ruling him by means of
his bigoted young wife, who saw in every
Mexican priest another Jesus Christ
Diaz held on, and held on, and held on,
granting enormous concessions to foreign ad-
venturers who went to Mexico to make their
fortunes.
Dlaz also restored most Of the crime-soaked
loot of the greedy, dirty, lecherous priests.
Then Madero started a movement for re-
form and was duly elected President.
But before he had time to accomplish ANY,
thing, President Taft weakened him i'm
mensely by throwing the American army on
the frontier, and 1t has 01acay8 been suspected
that Cardinal Gibbons had 1t DONE
Then Felix Diaz, the nephew of old Por-
firlo, Matched a murderous plot at the Ameri-
can embassy with Archbishop Mora, Henry
Lane Wilson, and Madero's trusted military
lieutenant, Huerta.
The result was, that the Catholics used the

More Than a Million Autos.

! Nearly one and "a half million auto

CONCRETE ROAD SAVES
COUNTY MUCH MONEY
Michigan Commissioners Find Type
of Highway Has Many
Advantages.

Cost o; maintaining all the highways
in Wayne county, Mich. outside of the
city of Detroit, was reduced to S23,39@
last year. representing a saving of
s7.lf0 over the previous year. accord
ing 10 the eighth annual report Of the
board of county commissioners This
reduction is credited to the replace
ment of certain macadam roads with
cement concrete pavement
Ample justification for the adoption
of the concrete road as the standard
type OF construction is found by the
commissioners in the fact that there
are over 100 miles OF concrete roads in
Wayne county. some of it in its sixth
year of service. without the semblance
of rut and without a single twenty
fiye-foot section having been taken up
and replaced since the county has been
building and developing this type of
road.
Evening star., 1915-02-28
Some of Advantages.

1t is comparatively low in first cost !;
it is free from dust; it furnishes good
traction for all types of vehicles: it is
not slippery: it is durable; it does not
require excessive yearly maintenance
charges: it is usable 365 days in@the
year. irrespective of weather condi-
tionS.
As Il result OF the success of the
Wayne comfy roads the city of Detroit
built or let contracts for 139,1O7 square
yards of concrete streets previous to
1913. and laid eight similar streets in
that year. aggregating 1890 square
yards. WJandotte, Mich: Oakland
county. adjoining Wayne, and Windsor
and Walkerville. Ontario. have all
built or contracted for considerable
yardage of concrete streets and roads.
It is estimated that $25.O00.00O worth
of this type of construction will be
built this year in the United States and
Canada.

Baltimore Motor Club Starts Move

stealing accessories and otherwise mu-

everywhere.
In speaking of the proposition to pro-
tect automobiles left standing in the
evenings, H. NJ. Luzius, secretary of the
club. in enlightening the public gem
orally on the project. has this to say
on the subject:
While our idea was put into practice
only one week ago and is yet in its eN-
perimental stage, nevertheless the
services of our theater watchmen have
been enthusiastically received. At the
present time we have in our employ
three competent men, whose salaries
are paid out of the treasury of the
club. These men are stationed at three
of the most important theater localities
each night for the purpose of watching
cars that bear the emblem of the club.
