The Lure of the Tropic Sun, Described BY South
Bender Just Back From Hayh


Mr.. Bostwick describes the natives
in the following:
They are OF a very low. uncul-
tured. and ignorant class; lazy and
worthless French is the official
language. but the majority cannot
speak the language although they
seem 70 understand IL. They speak
what is known as 'CreaOle, sort Of
a lingo resembling French, but
without grammar. II is so low that
it cannot be written.
The majority OF Haytians are
worse off than slaves. IL is only in
the cities that they have heard Of
that ancient institution, marriage. q"
Mr. Bostwick states that il was
not until the American occupation
few years ago that the natives
thought OF wearing clothing. He
continued:
THE morals are the worst any
where. Personally I don't believe
that they have any fixed standard.
Centuries of such living with utter
disregard for all laws Of decency
has had its natural result. Disease
Of the worst sort is prevalent every
where.

II don't believe that there is an

 He is Colonel Esteban Cantu, both civil governor and military chief of Lower California, northern district, beloved by his people, who have found his rule kind and wise and honored by his neighbors in Cali fornia. U. S. A, for his ability, friendliness and the peace and pros perity he has given his district
 San Diegans, as well as visitors from sections distant from the border are keenly interested in the oppor- tunity to meet Governor Cantu on the occasion of his official visit and participation in the great Friendship Fiesta, which will be held in San Diego June 21-24.
 of this fiesta that has caused the United States, State and War Depart ments to sanction Governor Cantu's visit with his staff and military escort and military band in full uniform.
 And Governor Cantu? He has left no doubt that he is anxious to come with his retinue at the head of many of his people who will join in cele- brating the fiesta.
 Why is he a ''wonder-worker?" His territory has more perfect peace and greater prosperity than any other portion of Mexico. His army and his people love him. He has been able to erect a financially sound govern ment and maintain excellent military and police control, giving security and providing adequate pay for his army and governmental employees. With his district at peace and at work, he has found freedom to devote his time to development of the vast natural resources and provide for the

 Accomplishments made under Gov ernor Cantu's rule are better known to San Diegans, from reports of trav- elers in his district, than the gov ernor himself, however, and his visit is expected to acquaint them with the man who has done these things.
 Further than participate in the Friendship Fiesta demonstrations in San Diego, Governor Cantu, is plan ming a great reciprocal celebration on his side of the line, at Tijuana, on the fourth day of the fiesta. The fiesta, therefore, will be three days in San Diego and one in Tiajuana.
