Suicide of Former General
Cardeyas Clears Mysfery of
Murder of Mexican President

Guatemala City, Jan. 4.-The sui
eide of the former Mexican general
Francisco Cardcnas, in the central
plaza. of this city on November 81, is
believed here to nave ended all doubt
as to who was the real slayer Of the
Mexican president, Francisco l. Ma
dero. Cardenas had old the, Associ-
ated Press correspondent that he
commanded h guard by whom Ma
dero was shot but did not explain why
he ordered the shooting.
Madero. with the vice president.
Pine Suarez, was shot to death on
the night of February %, 1913, while
being conveyed under a guard of
armed soldiers from his place Of i'm
prisonment in the National Palace Il,
the ~penitentiary in Mexico City. The
usual report was rendered to the au-
thOritieS that the prisoners had tried
to make their escape and hat the
soldiers. in order to prevent them get
ting away, were obliged to shoot
them.
Not long after the event. Francisco
Cardinals appeared in Guatemala.
Within a very short time, he was ar
rested and imprisoned by orders of
Estrada Cabrera, the president then
of this country. 1t is not clear just
OF what grounds Cabrera ordered the
imp ;sonment Of Cardenas. The gov
eminent Of Cabrera was not on par
ticularly friendly relations with that
of Carranza who had succeeded Cen
eral Huerta as president Of Mexico.
1t is thought that the Guatemalan
president was aware hat Cardenas
was wanted by the Carranza govern
ment, and purposed turning him yer
to the Mexican authorities in x
change for certain Guatemalans in
Mexico who III ght be conspirinG
against Cabrerar's government. How
ever this may be. no exchange was
made and Cardenas was kept a pris-
oner for n. arly seven years.
During the revolution of last April
when the dictator, Cabrera, VAS over
thrown, Cardcnas was taken from the
pe%nitentiary and brought into this
city under a guard Of troops. Colonel
Belteton pointed him out to the AS
sociated Press correspondent as the
man who had killed Madero.
Cardenas was a man of medium
height, robust in appearance with a
round, bullet-likc head, thin black
mustache and thin black hair parted
in ringlets over his forehead. Cues
toned as to the killing of Medaro he
dismissed the subject with the simple
statement hat he was in command
of the guard that did the killing. He
offered nc explanation why he had
commanded the guard to shooting
prisoners, but was more intent on re.

THE GUN-TOTER.

IL Il fellow wants to get into
trouble there is no surcr way to get
i'll than to slip gun in his pocket
and start out. He seldom fnils to
find trouble. Is not the same true of
nations? The building of huge battle
ships. and large standing armies is
just like fellow with the proverbial
chip on his shoulder. Peace is i'm
possible in any community where
everybody totes gun. 1t is warn
ing mcnace--a dare-a threat. The
first great step towards universal,
peace is universal disarmament. The
great munition factories-"big bus
incss"-do not advocate disarmament.
The manufacture of guns is q prof.
liable business. The era of the

WHAT TO DO WITH THE GER
MANS.

dispatch from Berlin states that
100000 Germans are preparing to
leave their country for the United
States, Mexico, and South America.
While many people will say they are
not wanted here, yet one can see
many reasons why it will be just as
well that they should emigrate some
where.
The German people are too much
crowded in their home country for
their own good or that of the world.
Their feeling of congestion led them
to seek to get territory that did not
belong to them. AS long as they feel
thus hemmed in, they will be n peril.
If the population of Germany was
more nearly equal to that Of France,
t would add tremendously to the
feeling Of security in Europe and
help everybody over there to settle
down To work and forget about war.

METHODS OF PROGRESS.

"Thc Nations Business" in semi.
huorous story Of the progress Of
"Ourtown," suggests two reasons
why many civic and business boost
ing movements do not get anywhere.
Though no doubt fictitious story
it fits in many communities and il
may not be without application II
Tazewell
In the typical town described in
this story Commercial Club was
first organized by local booster, AMI
it had Il grand glorification for an
initial meeting. Everyone was en-
thusastic. Before the meeting was
over, the diners could almost see
the sewer system, new high school,
street paving. new railroad station.
etc. But all this enthusiasm went up
in smoke, and none of these things
were accomplished. The commercial
'ut soon died.
Several years later Il new crowd
;nized modern chamber of COM
mcrcc The town was put on the
map and accomplished many of the
ends it had long dreamed about.
The promoter was asked how they
did it. He said they had just two
secret rules. These were as follows;
Rule Appoint no orators chair
men of committees.
Rule 2.-Appoint no committee
men who will not Commit"
All they had done in previous. eff
forts was to hold enthusiastic meet
ings, but they did not back them up
with enthusiastic work. After man
had made good speech in favor of
Il thing, he seemed to feel he had
done his full duty, and could not af-
ford to give any more Of his valu-
able time to it. This time they put
real workers as chairmen of commit
tees. instead of orators. When they
did that, they began to get things
done
II might be mentioned incidentally
that in many successful town prog
ress movements, the best workers have
been young men, often newcomers
in the place, men who felt they had
II record to make and were willing
70 give time and trouble.

CAPT. BARGERS ADDRESS.

Capt. d. II. Barger. of Shawsvlle,
Vice-President of the State Farm
Bureau Federation, which is mem
Der of the American Bureau Fedora
ton, made an address here on Mon
day before the County Farm Bureau,
in the Court House, an account of
which appears elsewhere in this pa
per-
A telling point was made when the
speaker said that it was impossible
for Washington TO inauguratc lcgis-
lation for agriculture. Agriculture,
he said, depended upon nature. 1t is
entirely possible, however, to make
laws detrimental TO agriculture. 1t
is the purpose Of the great Farmers
Bureau, to see to it, that no laws are
enacted detrimental to the farmers.
Agriculture should he put on the
same basis rs all other great indus
tries. Laws detrimental to agricul-
ture should be repealed.
The farmers should be protected,
he said, SO long MS industries from
which he buys his supplies, are pro-
tected AS to wool, for instance,
enough wool was shipped into the
United States last year to make mil
lion suits of clothes. Speaking of in
crease of freight rates, he said that
in some instances that increase final
ly amounted to 400 per cent by the
time the goods reached the consum-
er. Iron ore shipped to the furnaces
paid an increase, the pig iron to the
foundry paid an increase, the parts
of the machine shipped to the fac
tory, paid the increase. From the
factory to the wholesaler and finally
TO the farmer paid the big increase,
AL of which increase from the ore
banks to the depot of the farmer, is
charged up to Overhead" and
Jones has it to pay. A reaper, he
said, that a few years ago cost him
80 odd dollars. now costs over $3.50.
Speaking of gold bricks" no said
that we often read of "gold bricks"
being sold to people in the cities, but
the farmers are the greatest pur-
chascrs of "gold bricks" in all the
world. They are handed out from
Washington by politicians of both
parties. One notable instance is the
free garden seed distribution, which
the papers and the people have
denounced for years, but the last
Congress voted an additional sum Of
$l00,000.00 for the purpose of elect
ioneering. The increase, he said, was
due perhaps to the fact, that the
price of votes, along with everything
else, had increased The Farm Bureau
proposes to keep an eye on what
goes on in Washington, and to keep
the members informed so that such
action may be taken as may seem
necessary and best The organization
is purely and entirely non political.
This imperfect report of this fine
speech will give some idea of the
drift. The large and attentive audi
ence felt well repaid for their at
tendance. The opinion was freely en-
pressed, that the interest of the
farmers had been given boost. and
good will result

inals have escaped by raising tech.
nical points that did not effect the
merits Of the case against them.
Crime will continue prevalent UNI
til the people wake up to tho need
for prompt and impartial enforce
ment of the laws. Police forces must
be appointed on a basis of efficiency
and not on that Of politics. In many
cities the police are not given money
enough to secure competent forcr
of detectives. In the appointment or
election Of Judges. men should be
selected who shall look at the spirit
rather than the letter Of The law.

FAILURE TO PUNISH CRIME.

Criminals do not commit offences
freely unless they feel fairly sure
they can escape punishment. The
present wave of crime indicates that
the police and judicial forces of the
country are not securing the arrest
and conviction of criminals as they
should.
William II. Taft, in recent view
of a book by Raymond Fosdick on
the administration of criminal law,
finds that the machinery for punish
ing crime is working very badly. The
Chicago Tribune has published sta
tlstics showing that there were 7,GG',
culpable homicides in this country in
1918, and only So executions as pun
ishment for this crime. In all Enc
Ian and Wales in 1916 there wcr.
only So murders.
1t is the opinion of many authori.
ties that great many people in thi,
eom!ry have tendency toward
violence, leading them to comm.
brutal crimes, tendency which must
he met by strong repression. In many
cities there is too much politics in
conducting police affairs, which i'm
pairs the efficiency of the force, an |
makes some officers open TO corrunt
influence
The laws delays are an imporlan.
reason for failure to secure convic-
lions. If trials Iarc postponed by
faulty procedure, witnesses leave tn.
locality where certain crime was
committed, the memory of events be-
comes indefinite, an it is much hard
or to secure CONVICTIONS. Many Grim.
