The difficulty in going about it wisely
is that our industries are organized

when margins are good labor gets en-

When the margins are scant or dis

the suspension Of production. 1t is
only by this permission of margins
that work gets done. One per cent

CAPITAL WELL WORTH VISIT
Merida, Chief City Of Yucatan, 10 BY
No Means Lacking in Attractions
for Tourist.

A capital which most tourists never
visit and of whose very existence
many people are ignorant is. Merida,
the chief city of Yucatan. Yucatan is
one Of the richest Mexican provinces
and, to go further into the intricacies
of geography, forms the right arm Of
the Gulf of Mexico. Merida, its show
city, officially began to exist in 1912,
when the Spaniards laid the corner
stone with much ceremony and pro-
claimed grandly that the very loyal
and noble city of Merida, chartered by
his most Catholic majesty, Philip II.
was now on the map.
Since then Merida has grown consid-
erably, acquired plaza, cathedral,
university, hotels and go6dly number
of millionaires, and considers itself q
city Of some Importance.
One governor Of Yucatan, with a
well-developed sense Of civic and ma
tiOnal pride, tried to separate the
wealthy citizens of the capital from
some Of their surplus change for Inn
pr0vement of the city. The millionaire
element could not see how 1t would
gain anything by installing the beauti-
fully paved boulevards described SO
graphically by their promoter and re-
fused to contribute. But the governor
placed tax on the henequen, the chief
source Of Merida's wealth, and with
the proceeds, which ran into millions
OF dollars. he laid pavements which
made walking and driving in the city
joyous affair, instead of the unpleas-
ant necessity which it had been.

ABBOTT HOLDS
SACK FOR BILLS
LUCKY SEVENTH
Spanish War Veterans Call
for the Resignation Of
Governor Neville as
Member.

Like a more or less welt known
ghost of dramatic fame, memories
of the Lucky Seventh" return to
haunt those. who were foremost
among the personnel of the Inflated
military organization.
One OF the features OF the situa-
ton is that Ray ]. Abbott, whilom
major of the Seventh, was left in
the position of the character in the
play who remarked. Il won't sit by
that city chap; he wasn't good to
our Nell"
Abbott had charge of the recruit.
ing Office on Farnam street and was
responsible for bills which aggre-
gated $500. During the heyday OF
the Seventh it was understood that
Governor Neville would see that
these bills were paid out of a state
appropriation for the Nebraska Ma
tional guard. That was the general
understanding. The governor
, would not approve the bills and Abb
bolt is hold the sack.
Still Has Hopes.
Notwithstanding this situation,
Abbott, who is deputy county at
torney, will not condemn the gov
ernor at this time. He is still hop
ing that some of these days Ne
vile will order the bills paid. In
the meantime Abbott, at least pub
licly, will not say one cross word
against the man who was to have
been colonel of the Lucky Seventh.
The unpaid bills were for tele-
phone, stationery, and all manner of
incidentals.
Nor is that all. At recent meet
ing of the Spanish-American veter-
ans here, a resolution was adopted,
calling for the resignation of Gov
ernor Neville as honorary member
of the organization. The governor
was admitted to honorary member
ship of the North Platte Spanish
American war veterans camp, as
political move, it is charged. Some
OF the Spanish-American veterans
went into the Seventh and it has
been charged that Neville made
promises in return for support OF
himself as colonel.
Act of Retaliation.
The action of the Omaha camp
of Spanish-American war veterans
against Governor Neville was in
retaliation for alleged failure to
stand by Mr.. Abbott, Walter Steele
and w. E. Baehr. Steele was assist
ant adjutant general of the Nebras-
ka national guard, later adjutant
general and was assistant adjutant
general in the national army at
Camp Cody. 1t is also alleged by
these men that Neville threw some
of the Seventh Nebraska officers
over to make way for Phil Hall,
whose father has been one Of the
financial mainstays of the demo
cratic party in this state. l.
Abbott, Seele and Baehr are all
back in civilian life.
As bit of political information,
il is observed that the Spanish
American war veterans are not tear
ing their shirts off for Governor Ne
Vile. not this year.
