Carranzas patriotic stand drew the
attention of all liberty loving Mexi
cans to Coahuila and there soon raj
lied around the Governors standard
a number of high-minded and patriot
ic Mexicans. who banded together to
overthrow the usurper Huerta and re
establish a constitutional government
! in Mexico.
Accordingly it was under these cir
! cumstances the much heard of, but
little understood plan of Guadalupe
came into existence. The main planks
of this plan are as follows:
For the organization of the mill.
tary forces necessary to make compli.
ance with our purposes, we name as
| First Chief of the forces which shall
be called Constituencies, Don
Venustiano Carranza, Governor of the
State of Coahuila.
"On the occupation by the Consti.
tutionalist forces of the City of Aiexi-
o,-the Executive power shall be taken
charge of by Don Venustiano Carran-
"a, First Chief of the forces, or who
ever may be substituted in command.
The president ad interim of the Re-
public shall convoke general elections
as soon as peace shall have been es-
tablished, delivering the power to the
person who shall be elected"
Genesis of Revolution.
This was the genesis of the revolu-
ton against Huerta, which had, as can
be seen, as its one big hope, the re-
establishment of constitutional form
of government in Mexico. Following
this triumph, the necessary reforms
that the country cried for were
thought to follow as a necessary con-
sequence.
The movement against Huerta was
/ a magnificent effort on the part Of the
Mexicans to regain the ideals Madero
had given them, and not to sink back
again into the despotic days of Diaz,
The present struggle in Mexico has
not justifiable grounds for its exist
ence. Villa has made this issue: 81
am to dominate Mexico" and has en-
deavored to cloak it in a mantle OF
verbal patriotism and empty sounding
platitudes. The element behind Car
rama is not supporting the personal
ity of Carranza. At all times it has
been willing to sacrifice him for the
greater good of the country. 1t has
simply rallied to him in this present
conflict, because Of his honesty, integ-
rity and deep seated patriotism, and
because he stands for a government
of principle and not of men.
The revolution against Huerta swept
through Mexico with the irresistible
force that has ever animated every
real struggle for liberty and the dash
ing victories of Villa, Gonzales, Obre-
gon, Herrera and others against the
Federal troops brought the victorious
revolutionists into Mexico City after
II months of struggle. Huerta fled
an exile to Spain.
Only one small cloud specked the
horizon of the revolution during its
early days. This was when Villa, be-
ing ordered by Carranza to send re-
inforcements to a brother general, re-
fused to accent the commands of hfa

"Thereupon We decided with full
consciousness of our act certain that
We were following the course of pa
triotism and duty, to fight Francisco
Villa with all our force until we had
removed from the horizon of the ma
ton this menace of reaction and bar
barity."
Carranza a Civilian.
Carranza is essentially a civilian
rather than military man. From the
inception of the revolution he sought
to direct its destinies as did Presi-
dents Lincoln and Davis control
events in our Civil war Accordingly
when Villa commenced his military
campaign against Carranza the latter
had not a single soldier directly under
his personal command. His only
strength lay in the justice of his cause
and the only means he used to or
ganize an army was to unfurl the ban
ner of patriotism and to allow such
generals and their armies to gather
around it as desired to combat for
right and justice. The entire Consti-
tutionalist army exclusive of the Divi-
sion of the North, commanded by Viii

Carranza withdrew from Mexico
City and established the national cap
ital at Vera Cruz.
Pathetic in its note of helplessne5s
is the story that President Gutierrez
told of conditions existing in Mexico
City while he occupied the presiden-
tial chair He narrated this after
he had fled from the city and endeav-
ored to attach himself to Carranza.
The following parts of his narrative
are taken up after he recites in detail

Berlango, another dist inguished men,
ber of the convention, both of whom
had been brutally murdered by the
orders of Villa.
He says: "The members of the
Aguascalientes convention which was
now meeting in Mexico City, justly
alarmed by these daily murders, in
formed me that they desired to change
their residence from Mexico City to
the town of San Luis Potosi, where
they expected to convene in safety.

Gutierrez held and how the so-called
convention party now means but one

The one significant fact that has
served to make Americans believe that
possibly behind the present turmoil IL

thing big and serious, has been the
broad humanitarian view that Presi

regard to the Mexican revolution
A brief history OF the present revo
lutionary movement in Mexico tends
to clear up many of the things that
have remained incomprehensible ia
Americans and sheds a light on the
entire situation that gives true un
derstanding of the conditions in that
country as they exist today.
The present revolution actually had
its inception with Francisco Madero
in 1910. Most Americans are familiar
with the rapid and unexpected tri.
Imph of Madero over DiaZ, but 1t is
not generally known that Madero' s
regime failed to be success and live
up to the high hopes and expectations
that had been born with it. because
he had been too generous in compro-
missing withrtfle reactionaries and that
they on account of their dominance of
the two hold-over houses of Congress
were able to defeat all his plans for
the betterment of his people
Assassination of Madero.
The shameful assassination at the
instigation of Huerta excited such a
feeling of indignation in the United
States as to make President Wilson's
stand in refusing to recognize the
Government set up by Huerta on the
dead body of Madero, as being emf
nently just and in keeping with the
best traditions of this country.
Madero's death put the old oienti-
flcos, reactionaries and clerics back
again in power This necessitated
that the struggle Madero had success
fully waged must again be taken UP,
and accordingly there came into ex-
istence with the new movement a new
shibboleth that has rung from one
end of Mexico to the other: Justice
and Reform and no compromise"
The first man to refuse to accept
the authority Of the dictator Huerta
and to fling into his face bitter de.
fiance was Venustiano Carranza, then
Governor of the State of Coahuila.
Carranza has been one of the strong
est supporters Of Madero and during

Parent-Teachers' association. They
have a good, live Industrial club or
ganized with Ammon Grice as presi-
dent and Jean Bailey, secretary. The
school board has just placed in the
primary room an excellent sand table
for the teachers work there. The
Parent Teachers association has been
meeting with good audiences and have
had some excellent meetings. The
following pupils have made 1000 in
spelling all during the past month:
Jean Bailey, Nettie Norwood and Lei

Rock Greek: The Rock Creek
school, which is a joint school with
Lincoln and Polk counties, and whose

ty, so that the work is really lined
up with Lincoln, has made the fol-
lowing report to us: They have a
good, live Industrial club organized
with the following officers elected:
Howard Southwell, president; Frank
Petwora, vice-president; Harriet
secretary; Benjamin Wigle,
treasurer, and j. R. Dickson, teach
er, as advisor. They are working
hard on their grounds, preparing them

standard school, but we hope they
will soon win out on this.

Broadmead: The Broadmead school
gave an entertainment recently con
sisting of program by the school and
followed by a basket supper and re-

used in purchasing the necessary
equipment to become standard

grounds, and also getting ready for
the project work for the fair.
Fern: The Fern school has secured
their play apparatus consisting of two
teeters, a volley ball, ETC., and have
planted flowers on the grounds. They
are working energetically on the In
dustrial work as outlined by the club
projects. They have earned all of
the points for standard school, This
school has averaged over 999o in at
tendance this year with only five tar
dies. When it is considered that many
OF these children are obliged to walk
over two miles through the red clay
of the hills, we know this is showing
good interest. The following pupils
have built bird houses: Lester Davis,
Glen Davis and Ralph Farnum and
several more are in course of con-
struction.
Orchard View: The Parent-Teach-
er associations are meeting regularly
and are doing some good work. Some

club is holding interesting club meet
ings and is getting into the work with
a determination to win out again as
they did last year.
This past month has been a busy
and interesting month for all of those
in school work. Something
has been doing all of the time, and
the interest over the county is excel
ent along the lines of Standardization
and industrial work, Parent-Teachers
and general school work.

BUY TEN CLAIMS IN
HUMBOLDT COUNTY
SALT LAKE MINING MEN WILL DE.
VELoP PROMISING COPPER
PROPERTY

Copper, as the great utility metal OF
modern commerce, is fast displacing
King Iron in the many enterprises and
services upon which progress and the
success of business depends. The red
metal is found in abundance, but unde-
yeloped throughout Humboldt county,
Nevada. One of the extensive copper
deposits is in the Red Butte section
of that county, says the Salt Lake
Tribune.
Recently. owing TO the great demand
for copper for use, the Red Butte sec
tion has become the objective of the
copper miner and the copper producer.
After examination by experts, James
Chapman, a prominent banker and the
owner of other large enterprises, with
associates from Salt Lake, acquired
ten full claims in the Red Butte sec
ion and thereon organized the Red
Butte Copper Mining company, with
Chapman as president.
These claims, according TO Richard
Newton, who is doing business in Win
nemucca today, possess the wealth in
copper which under the avarice of man
would make the same objective of the
forty thieves of Arabian lore.
