Cecil Lyon Is Gone

Cecil Lyons death removes notable figure in Texas

politics last because Cecil Lyon did not allow politics

standing in the state as of conspicuous ability
and unusual independence of thought and action Lyon
was active and energetic in politics, state and national
yet those who knew him well would not class him as
a politician, in the that politician is understood
to make politics his chief interest profession" in
life. On the contrary, politics with him was a sort
Of diversion, side line which he took pleasure and
to which he devoted much thought and energy and
money but without any desire for personal reward Of

Gen. Gavira, Loyal Mexican

Gen. Gavira in Juarez has in many ways proved him
self to be capable and progressive executive He is
loyal to Mexico and Mexican interests yet he is broad
enough and intelligent enough to that he could
gain nothing for his people by refusing to acknowledge
the necessity of reasonable degree Of cooperation in
matters Of mutual concern.
The Juarez commandant is a man of simple man
and tastes and notably free from traits of
gance, insincerity, and ignorant suspicion such
characterize Mexican revolutionary leaders of the
last five years His rule in Juarez has been marred
by indications of hostility toward Americans
other foreigners He has kept his military forces under
good discipline and Juarez has been quiet and orderly
Soon after he came to Juare the gambling games
all closed with single exception of the gambling
establishment, and the liquor business placed
under extra restrictions.

seeking to guard against the introduction or spread
of infectious disease. He has met Americans, both
officials and private citizens after the

that he has failed look after Mexican interests

FL Pasoans who have met Gen. Gavira look upon
him as representing type of Mexican that promises
the return Of better days for the country, through the
application Of practical and upright methods to prob
lens of government It would be unfortunate if he
should be removed, to make way perhaps for
who might not deserve the respect the confidence
of Americans, with whom any Juarez cOmmandant
must necessarily come into frequent contact.

The Root Candidacy

The Root Candidacy
There was a gathering of
republicans recently, in New
York, representing distin-
guished public men of the
Empire State. At this gath
ering Roosevelt and Root
met at the banquet board, it
being their first meeting since
the historic break at Chica-
60. AT the conclusion of the
conference a move was made
to promote the candidacy of
Elihu Root for President. 1t
is stated that Mr.. Root was
aware of the move and offer
ed no objections, implying
that he was at least a recep-
tive candidate.
The nomination of Elihu
Root for this great 0 fiji c e
would be a master stroke on
the part of the republicans
and undoubtedly it would be
sanctioned by Roosevelt and
the fast fading progressive
wingl Elihu Root is the fore
most statesman of the west
ern world and is so recogniz-
ed by all the big nations of
Europe. A profound lawyer,
calm, judicial and learned in
international la w and world
diplomacy, his election to
the presidency would bring
back to us our former pres
tige among the nations of the
of the world and give
US a sense of security in the
knowledge that a ripened and
statesman was at the
head of the government. If
Root decides to allow the
movement in his favor to
gain impetus he will probab-
ly be nominated. At this
critical period in our history
1t is the patriotic duty of our
foremost statesman and dip
to answer the coun-
try's call-and Root has new
er shirked VIII ere duty called.
