SA IT It DAY. APR II. I 2. I'.M.!.
LIGHT IS BREAKING.
In a recenl rnmmunieal inn,
Forlirio Diaz declared I hat lie
would not. •return In Mexico un
lit peace and wood order have
been restored and that causes
were operating which would soon
tiring that greatly In lie desired
consummat ion.
Judging from later occurren
ces, there is reason to believe that
the former dictator of Mexico is
correct in his slaleimenl that
causes were operating to bring
about the restoration of a peace
in Mexico that will prove lasting,
but it is doubtful, when once
those forces have I rampjilized
Mexico, the old despot will care!
.to return to Mexico even though
he should be allowed to set fool
upon Mexican soil.
For the. lirs| time since the
Mexican people revolted against
the rule of the Austrian grand
duke, backed by the bayonets of
Napoleon, that (her • has been a
revolution in Mexico that was not
due to the ambitions of some
leader who desired to foist him
self upon the nation as a dicta
tor. Exalted as were the ideas
of Francisco Madero for the ame
lioration of the lot of the com
mon people of his country, the
fact remains that I he revolution
was nominal on ny iviauero ami in j
a great extent it was personally j
conducted revolution, financed by !
a certain interest and from which
a personal interest would benefit.
In the case of the revolt of
Sonora and Coahuila and the oth
er states of the north, if is a re
volt of profile and not of a lead- !
er. The congresses of the stall's |
in question have refused to sub- i
mil to a government forced up- j
on them by murder and treachery'
and they have declared that they j
will tight to 1 lie last unlit Mex- j
ico is ruled by a man who lias |
been selected by the voles of the]
pdople and not by the bayonetsj
and cannon of military adveiilur- !
ei's. j
That the government of Mexico
must lie established by I lie hal
lo! al the polls and not by (lie
bullel upon the liebl of battle, is
the declaration of the stales
along the American border.
‘'Sonora does not want inde
pendence," declares the congress
of that stale, “lint what she in
sists upon and wind she will tight
for is a constitutional govern
ment not alone for herself hut
for ail Mexico.” This declaration
is ech.I by doahuila and the
other stales of the north and it
is finding favor with all other
sections of I lie republic which has
so long been afflicted by the in
ordinate ambitions of military
leaders. In Ibis declaration is
seen tile first gleam of hope for
hapless Mexico, and I he first in
timation of the coming' of the;
day when I tie peace of North
America shall lie assured and the
marvelously rich resources of tile
land of the Moiite/.umas may be
developed that the people of Mex
ico and no| alone exploiting cap- \
ilal. may share in the prosperity.
The I niled States do not wish
to acquier a single foot of Mex
ican territory. They do not wish
to seize upon political or finan
cial control of their eighbors. nor
do they wish to dominate either
th.e internal or foreign policies
of the Mexican nation. All that
we want is to have life and prop
porty safe; to have peace rule up
on our borders, and to see a hap
py and contented people where in
the past there has been turmoil,
brigandage and outrage.
Our government has a right to
expect that its neighbors shall
no(, destroy the peace of tin* con
tinent.
SEVEN YEARS.
On May I i, 190(5, an amend
ment. to the railroad regulation
bill pending in the United States
Senate was offered liy Senator Ua
I Folletle to provide for physical
valuation.
There was so much confusion
in the chamber that the chair re
peatedly was forced to admon
ish the Senate to “be in order."
The Republican leaders arbi
trarily strangled debate and kill
ed the amendment.
Senator Hale, who aided for the
Old (iiiard. took if upon himself
to stale, "My object was not to
interfere personally with anyone
senator, or another senator, hut,
in accordance with what I believe
lo be the feeling' of the Senate
upon mailers whim the Senate
understands and comprehends
for one I propose, when
ever an .opporlunitv affords, to
give the Semite a chance of lav
ing the amendment upon the fa
ille, and thereby lo end it."
On February -i. ItU.'t. the
Senate of I lie Foiled Slates, slill
with a Republican majority, pass
ed I lie l.a Folletle physical val
uation bill without a single dis
sent ing void.
Cheaper Fuel for Automobiles.
London. — By an invention pal
onloif hy I lie Brit ish Molorcab
Company II is hoped lo end the
London taxicab strike, which lias
been going on eleven weeks. The
invention will interest all users
of aiilomoliiies, as il makes pos
sible the regular use of cheaper
fuel Ilian petrol. Petrol forms
less Ilian half of Ibe new fuel,
which, experiments show, has a
higlidr mileage per gallon Ihan
pure petrol. The cost price is said
to he Id I-2d. a gallon. 2 I-2d.
less (hail the price the taxicab
companies are asking from I lie
men for petrol.
The new fuel is useless for the
purpose of stalling the engine.
;ml that difficulty is overcome by
Lho construction of an apparatus
which is supplied with pure pe
L.rol from a small independent
,ank, and is used only for the
purpose of starting the engine.
The consulting engineer of I lie
loyal Automobile Club has ro
unded the apparatus lo he simple
mil effective, and not liable either
,o disarrangement or to he the
cause of any danger. It is appli
cable to any kind of a petrol en
gine used in motor vehicles.
