To the Editor:
Your editorial comparing Gales
with Diaz in Mexico was very much
to the point. You might be in
terested in this connection with
some of my own family experience
under the Diaz regime.
An uncle of mine had a large
ranch, the gift of Diaz, who was
one of his great friends. One day
a saddle was missing, Diaz, on
hearing of it, rounded up all the
poems for some thirty or forty
miles around, had them driven to
my uncle's hacienda, lined up by
the constabulary and stand waiting
several hours for the benevolent
despot's appearance.
When Diaz arrived he had my
uncle come out of the house. After
stating to the crowd of poems that
something had been stolen, he
turned to my uncle and said, How
many of them do you want shot?"
My uncle protested that he wished
none Of them shot, but Diaz in
sisted on shooting a number before
firing squad las an example" he
explained. This almost broke the
long standing friendship between
the two men.
Another method of Diaz' proved
very effective in dealing with the
upper classes. He gave them a
choice of transportation or DEATH
Usually they chose transportation.
In England there was quite a
colony Of Mexicans who had been
transported and who received from
Diaz' government a pension so long
as they stayed out of America. The
pension came from the operation
of their estates by the government,
AS an example of the lavishness
with which Diaz treated his friends
at the expense of the poor, he
offered my uncle monopoly on
salt, which meant that every
Mexican would pay him royalty
on all salt sold in the state. This
he declined to accept, not wishing
to add TO the tax burden and not
wanting to feel that every time
poor man bought salt-a necessity
he was making o profit at his
expense. This the president
thought squeamish and probably
gave the monopoly to someone else.

What Other Editors Think

(Republcan)
Whatever may be the faults OF the city manager
form of government under the weak Indiana law that
provides for it, Michigan City, the only Indiana town
that thus far has had experience with
Mounoor the plan, appears to be willing to con-
S tnue the trial. In spite of a heavy
IHCeTeSI attack made by political parties, the
Revived city manager party won in Tuesdays
election.
It will be remembered that in 1921, when many
Indiana cities held special elections to determine
whether they would continue under the Federal Sys
tenn of Government try the city manager method
Michigan City was the only one to vote for the
change. Muncie decided to continue the present sys
tenn by two-to-one vote.
That ended agitation in this State for city man
agement until this year when Indianapolis, which did
not even vote upon the subject when the other cities
held elections cast fivetoone vote in favor of the
plan. This, however attributed more to disgust
with the Duvall administration than with any special
wish to change the form of government.
But since the indianapolis election there has been
revival of interest in the city manager idea through
out the State Some cities have been watching the
Michigan City experiment. Reports from there are
conflicting. Some declare it to be failure and
none appears to regard it as unqualified success
but the fact that the voters of Michigan City after
trying out the plan have determined to continue it
is indication that it may at least be satisfac-
tory as the old method in their belief, which may
give impetus to the movement elsewhere in Indiana
especially in cities whose present administrations
not making good.

Regarding the recent visit in Sew ard of Gus Gelles, secretary-treasur- CT of the Alaska Guides Incorporated, MT. Gelles uniformed The Gateway number of Seward business people are taking an active interest in the project and considering the time of year the results obtained by him were { encouraging. Those who did not sign on the dotted line have promised to do so before long. MT. Gelles said 1t was his firm conviction that the Alaska Glacier Tours and their sub- sidiary company, the Alaska Guides Incorporated, will prove to be one of the main assets of Seward.
 The people of Seward perhaps do not realize the great amount of money put into circulation by sportsmen, he added. To illustrate his remark he said the 22 people handled last year spent about s50,00O along the railroad belt. From year to year these amounts will increase.
 In Eastern Canada last year, he pointed out, S3,OO,000 was spent by nonresident hunters and while Mir. Gelles said he did not expect to be in that class for many years, yet it lis not impossible that within few years Seward should be the Gateway for at least s5O,OOO of such business and a good part of it will remain in the community.
 The forthcoming folder O. the com pany will announce, Mr. Gelles said, that they have abandoned Cook Inlet and that all hunting parties for the Kenai Peninsula will be handled from Seward.
 Parties will be taken over the Ke- nai-Seward highway to Lake Kenai where they will transfer to boat (that will be under construction in the near future) and make the trip down Kenai lake, through Kenai river, to the company's base on Skilak lake, all in one day From Skilak lake the hunters will leave the following morning via pack-train.
 Early next spring the Kenai river will be cleared of bad rocks that in- terfere with navigation. Andrew Simons will superintend this work It is the aim of the company that when anyone mentions the Kenai, it will immediately be identified with Seward, MT. Gelles declared.
 Kodiak Island and the Alaska Pen insula will also be handled from Sew ard while the Chickaloon, Nelchina, Matanuska and Rainy Pass country will be operated from Anchorage.

the exploits of the frigate Constitu-

tail to the encounters between the
