L Y Twenty years ago a boy started

old, walked two miles, arrived ear

sun was almost down, then hurried
home, to feed a pig, milk a cow,

study until his eyelids closed. But
he got ready for college in .four
years, and took Latin and Greek
when he got there. )
Today a child starts to school at
six years old, walks t,wo blocks,
sings a song, marches a march,

after three hours goes home. Then

In Canada the blizzards blow for

ground half the year. Ice prevents
the life of a thousand plants. Tet
the people are industrious, educated
and wealthy, able to enjoy their
model government and sane, prompt
and just courts.
In Mexico timber abounds, mineral

every stream, the sun shines perpet

the mountain tops while an allgator

and nature sing a song that is fa
vorable to man and beast. But the
people are indolent, poor, immoral,
superstition.
TheCanadians have learned by en

In Spain the rose blooms the year
round, the fig and pomegranate and
grape bear their fruit in abundance.
But tbe people are lean in purse,
hungry in soul, dwarfed in intellect.
In Holland the land lies below
the sea level, the landscape is void
of timber. The Hollander is thrifty,
learned, reliable and happy.
The difference lies largely in hav
ing endured. The Hollander has
thrown up dikes against the sea and
endured the waves. He has built
brick houses against the wind and
endured a frozen winter. He has con
structed windmills against stagnant
waters and endured against the want
of natural drainage.

Refuse to Support Regime of lluer
ta.
Laredo, Tex., Feb. 21. Eight
Mexican States, Zacatecas, Coahulla,
Nuevo Leon, Chihuahua, San Luis P
tosl. Vera Cruz, Sinaloe. and Puebla,
have expressed dissatisfaction with
the new regime in Mexico and will
not support the Government set up
by General Huerta, according to in
formation gathered from Federal
telegraph sources here, and a civil
war, in an effort to establish a new
I Republic to be composed of the
Northern States, is regarded as a
possibility by men conversant ' with
the affairs of Mexico. Because of
the reticence of those said to be in
terested in the scheme, however,
rumors that plans were maturing for
the founding of a new Republic
could not be confirmed tonight.
It is rumored that Governor Car-
ranzas of the State of Coahuila, is
at the head of the movement and
that efforts are being made to
bring about the secession of sever
al other States.
Not unnaturally a great part of
the public regards the official ver
sions with doubt, having In mind
the use for countless centuries of
theJ notorious "ley fuga," the un
written law which is invoked when
the death of a1 prisoner is desired.
After its application there Is written
on the records "prisoner shot try

Senor Cologan y Cologan, tbe Span
ish Minister. Shei already had heard
reports that something unusual and
serious had happened but friends
had endeavored up ta, that time to
prevent her from learning the whole
truth.
Soon afterward, accompanied by
her brother, Jose Perez.and Merce
des Madero, a; sister of Francisco,
Senora Madero drove to the peni
tentiary but was refused permission
to see the body of her husband. Se

PROGRAM TO. RESTORE ORDER.
Out of t'huoM Kliiill Rise) i'lHt Re
puMU', lluerta' Ambition.
Mexico City, Feb. 21. That the
new Administration In Mexico ex
pects to use the methods of I'orfi
rio Diaz, so far as is possible, in
governing the country was made, evi
dent today in a conversation Huer
ta had with newspaper men.
Huerta declared that no matter
what the cost should be or who t e
men were who paid it, peace would
be restored in Mexico. He said It
was his ambition that when he left
the presidency people would say of
him "he has restored order through
out Mexico, made safe the invest
ment of money and rendered secure
the lives and Interests of all, both
foreigners and Mexicans."
Calmly and dispassionately Gen
eral Huerta outlined his program for
tbe use of the Army in restoring
and maintaining order. He admit
ted that in many parts of the Repub
lic all was not in accord with peace.
To these sections, he said, he would
send emissaries in an attempt to
bring about order or, if necessary,
troops would be dispatched to them
co inform the people of the Govern
ment's desires. "I want to restore
to Mexico that interrupted current
cf riches which is her right." the
President continued, "and to bring
about that all Diplomats will ftel
their national interests are secure."
T?"e President declared he favored
a free press in Mexico, saying that

tigerish in her1 emotions. By the
side of the two women whose hus
bands had been killed, the1, girl hurl
ed accusations at the officers who
barred the entrance.
"Cowards!"', "Assassins!" she call
ed them, her voice pitched high.
The officers stared impassively.
"You! the1! men who fired on a de
fenseless! man! You and your supe
rior officers are; traitors!"
No effort was made to remove
the women nor did the off Icersf at
tempt to silence them. Senora Ma
dero continued weeping and the girl
did ' not ceasef her hysterical tirade
until the arrival of the Spanish Min
ister and the Japanese charge, who
came to offerj their services.
The Minister spoke with the offi
cers in charge1; but was told that
on account of the autopsy it would
be impossible for any one to see
the bodies. Later In the, day they
said the request would be complied
with. The Diplomats then conducted
the women away from the peniten
tiary. " j
Madero's, father and Rafael Her
nandez, former Minister of the In
terior, and other friends made ef-
ions early in the day to recover
the bodies and it was said this-afternoon
that the American Ambassa
dor Henry Lane Wilson had inter
ested himself and secured the prom
ise of Minister de la Barra that the
bodies should be delivered to their
families for burial.
The tragedy occurred shortly af
ter midnight. Madero and', Suarez,
who had been prisoners in the Nati
onal Palace since their, arrest on
t.'on might learn of evils that other
wise might be hidden.
