A Topsy-Turry Land, Where the
Poor Exploit the Rich--No Won

(By Robert Haberman)


truth and nothing but the truth;
but can't tell the whole truth
about Yucatan. CULVER himself
wouldn't be equal to such task.
Yucatan is upside down, inside
out and hind end to. Every
thing that can't happen anywhere
happens there. 1t is the finest
country you ever saw-and the
rottenest. 1t all depends on who
you are.
IL you are capitalist, accus-
toned to exploiting workingmen.
you will agree that Yucatan is rot
ten. If you are workingman
your verdict may be different.
The capitalists don't exploit the
working men in Yucatan. The
working people exploit the CAPT
talists.
II you are not Socialist you
will be terribly lonely in Yucatan.
If you are one, you will be ter
ribly confused. Ninety-nine and
sixty-five hundredths per cent of
the voters voted the Socialist tick

was there; but not one per cent
Of them ever hard of Karl Marx,
Economic Dterminism, Surplus
Value or any other of the famous
Reds.
With practically everybody So
cialist, Yucatan has not adopted
Socialism. II hasn't even insti-
tuted Government ownership. Its
one industry is "owned" by the
capitalists-who don't seem to
have a thing to say in regard to
its management.
II you are a pacifist in the
usual sense of the term, you will
be shocked out of your senses by
the situation in Yucatan. There
the army runs everything. AL
most every army officer holds a
civil office, too.
If you are militarist, you will
be equally shocked, for almost all
the army officers are Socialists
and anti-militarists.
II you should happen to be a
Russian revolutionists, and if you
helped win the freedom for your
country by overthrowing the Car,
Yucatan will give you a political
headache. In Yucatan it was the
Gar who rebelled. 1t was the
Gar who rose as one man against
the conditions of slavery and in
sisted that the people should be
free whether they wanted to or
not. 1t was he who demanded
that the people rule. 1t was he
who insisted on liberty, equality
and fraternity; for he is So

perfectly well aware that none Of
these things can happen. But

Of the results:
IN Yucatan common laborers get

way, is union agitator and

.SHERLEY OPPOSES
ELECTION RECESS

House leaders today were meeting
an increasing list OF obstacles in their
headlong rush to start n thirty-day
vacation for campaign purposes at the
end of this week.
One OF the most formidable OBJ.
stacles is Congressman Swagar Sher.
ley, kentucky, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee.
Sherley has announced that careful
framing of the next deficiency bill
which is expected to'total over $4,000,
600 900, will take at least ten days or
two weeks more, and that he intends
to take that amount of time to see the
job is done right.
House leaders have been planning to
recess and then recall the House to
pass the appropriation bill when it is
ready, but some Republicans Ihave
indicated they will oppose this plan.
Another proposal is to vote a recess,
but to leave a handful of members at
the Capitol to pass the appropriation
measure. But House leaders fear to
take the stand of being so anxious
for a vacation that they cannot stay
on the job to see that $4,000, OOO, 900
OF the peoples money is properly ex-
pended.
Meanwhile new bills demanding i'm
consideration are bobbing up
daily.

After the war Lafayette visited the
United States and was everywhere re-

Toward the evening Of his life the
great Frenchman was in need, having
lost his property and having been 9TH
erwise deprived Of his patrimony. It
was at this time that congress voted
him money and lands, which he sold for
100000, and at the same time invited
him to revisit the scene Of his youth
full victories.
His tour of the country lasted four
teen months, during which period he
visited each of the then twenty-fOur
states, and in every town and city he
was the object Of a splendid welcome.
He died in France in 1884 and there
was general mourning and many trib-
utes to his memory in the United
States.

received more than that, for one Of his

that he had to be carried to Bethle-

The republicanisn Of Lafayette as
tonished two continents In his day and
set the chanceIleries of Europe by the

to the world in these days Of the
Battle for Liberty. The man repre-
sented in his youth the struggle for
the highest ideals of our country and
in his maturer years he became an en-
bodiment of the struggle against the
greed of the Hun. The hero Of Brandy

also the foe of Prussian militarism. AS

was not broken when he came to us

Hanover.

great French soldier who was
w. Americas friend in her hour Of
need.
Lafayette was a mere boy of twenty
when he left his young wife in France
and at his own expense came to this
country and presented himself to con-
gress and offered his services where
they would be best suited for the
cause in hand.
Lafayette received his first impress
sions of the American struggle for lib
erty while he was stationed at Metz.
Undoubtedly he was led to apply to the
American commissioners at Paris,
among whom was Franklin, through
his recollection of the loss Of Canada
to France. 1t was at the same time
that he, an aristocrat, began to under
stand the common people. Certainly
from the first moment Of his landing
in America until the end Of his days
he was most democratic in his deal
ings with all men.
When he appeared before Franklin
and Deane and desired to offer his
sword to America he was dissuade0-
He was told that, in the first place,
there was no ship to take him, and to
that he answered that he would char
ter vessel himself and at the same
Ssme supply it and also take any COM
munications the commissioners had for
America.
Won Commissioners Sanction.
There was no other answer to per
severing, courageous and generous
young soldier than to accept his offer.
He gladly embraced the opportunity
to lend his aid and also invited sew
eral other dashing young Frenchmen
to accompany him.
He was as good as his word, and in
due time he and his ship arrived on
this side of the Atlantic. Congress
bread with interest his recommenda-
$tions from Franklin, and they agreed to
the single proviso in his offer, which
was that he, on account Of his posi-
Il ton, was to receive the commission
as a general officer and he was to be
free to answer any summons Of his
king. But at the same time he stipu-
lated that he was to serve without
any eInolument.
It was about the middle of April,
1777, that the young nobleman arrived
in South Carolina, and it was in July
that congress gave him his commits
sion as major general, although he was
then some weeks les" than twenty
years Of age.
5 Placed under the personal care OF
Washington, the great commander ir
chief soon became attached to the
Young officer. The feeling of admira'
ton was mutual, and Lafayette until
the Gay OF his death regarded his men
tor and friend as the greatest Amert
ean.
Gladly Gave His Services.
From the first he was convinced o.
the iustness cf the American cause
and he fought for it as if it were hii
