OUR SISTER
REPUBLIC
Editor Wortham of Current Issue
Talks of Mexico.
Says U It as Easy for a Newspaper Man to
Sc That Country as for the Same
Class to Sec This.
Colonel Louis J. Wortham who
ha just returned from a trip to the
Republic of Mexico spe&t the day
in the city. Regarding hia views
of the sister reprhik lie said:
"A visit to the City of Mexico
is interesting and recreative at any
season of the year. A visit to the
Cky of Mexico in July or August
is a positive delight. During these
two months the di malic cottditjons
of the picturesque valley in which
the city is situated are ideal. The
mornings are cloudless and the
sunshine of them is a benediction.
The afternoons are cooled by re-
freshing showers that put the thrill-
ing temperature of autumn in an
atmosphere as soft as velvet. The
nights are joys because one sleeps
under blankets and wakes with the
intoxication of rejuvenation -in
mind and body.
"If I dared choose the role of ad-
viser to my comrades of the press
I would urge them to seek the op
portunity to visit the City of Mex
ico in midsummer. They all need
an occosional emancipation from
the daily grind. Most of them get
it but they don't all know where
to exercise their liberty to the best
advantage. Besides finding a rest
in the City of Mexico that invigo-
rates they could then learn many
things that would enlarge the in-
tellectual horizon. The United
States is doing a great commerce
with Mexico but relatively to
Germnny Great Britain and France
it is not doing enough. Geogra
phically the country is our neigh-
bor and sooner or later its com
merce must grow to primary pro-
portions with the United States.
American capital and American
confidence in the stability of the
Mexican government are now the
most active foreign contributors to
the industrial progress of Mexico.
An intelligent discussion of op-
portunities and conditions of Mex
ico by American newspaper writers
would hasten the day of American
commercial supremacy in that
country.
By the way I met two Texas
newspaper men in the Cit of
Mexico both of whom are doing
excellent work. One of them was
Louis re Nette formerly on the
Austin Statesman and later on
the Houston Chronicle. The other
was CampbellJIardy who used to
be on the San Antonio Express.
Louis De Nette is a staff man on
the Mexican Herald the ablest
American morning paper in the
republic and Campbell Hardy is
business manager of the Daily Re-
cord a sprightly afternoon paper.
"We think the Hkel laws in
Texas a serious menace upon the
liberty of the press but if we had
to undergo the experiences of our
newspaper friends in Mexico we
might radically altar our views on
the subject. During my stay in
the city the Record published a
racy story concerning the exploits
of a well known Mexican citizen
which that citizen did not ap
prove. He sought redress at
the hands of the law. Warrants
were issued fpr the editor and
the business manager of the
paper. UnUfer the haw a warrant
can not be legally served on an
offender except in his residence or
at his place of business. Another
disagreeable feature of the Mexican
law is that when an offender is ar-
rested he is immediately jailed and
rendered incommunicado for 72
hours. A Mexican jail is not as
sweet-scented as the Sower market
and it menu is not tempting to the !
epicurean tast p the newspaper
man from the States; therefore ottr
friend Hardy was transacting the
business of the Record outside of
his business office and was float-
ing about from hotel to hotel for
his bed and board with an energy
that watiM excite tlx jealousy of
the most accptnplSHhetl 'free- lunch
rottter of hobohtml.
"It is just as easy for u accred-
ited newspaper man to see Mexico
m it is for that type or" rtewspaper
nian to see the StaUs. Inw the
main the management of the rail-
rpcds'isiii the fcftids of Americans
and they are jttst as persistent and
intelligent iivexploitk the resour-
ces of Mexico as their colaborers in
America are in exploiting the re-
sources of the States. This is es-
pecially true of the Mexican Cen-
tral and the Mexican National sys-
tems. These is much to learn and
'something to see' on both these
lines. The central from the City
of Mexico to Cnernavaca is one of
the greatest pieces of railroatl
mountain construction ou the con-
tinent. It crosses the sierras that
encircle the City of Mexico at an
altitude of 10000 feet and in des
cending into the tropical valley of
Cuernavaca it drops 5000 feet in
25 mile. The route is scenic be-
yond the compass of descriptive
adjectives. It affords a view of the
valley of the City of Mexico that is
an inspiration to the soul of an
artist; a view of Ixtacejhautl and
Popocatapetl two of the world's
loftiest summits majestic beyond
expression and a view of the valley
of Cuernavaca on its plunge from
the summit of the sierras that no
painter could put on canvas and
no power create but that of Great
Nature. ' ' Houston Chronicle.
USE AUTOMOBILES.
Texas Ranches Give Ponies a Rest and
Use Benzine Buggies.
A Houston man who was in the
city recently said that he used to
think he knew Texas until he made
a trip out West across what used
to be known as "Llano Estacado.
He is now sure thnt no man who
has not visited Texas quite recent
ly has a very good idea of the pro
gress made in that section.
"The automobile has raade a
greater change in West Texas than
would have been deemed possible
when autos were introduced in the
ranch country. By the use of auto-
mobiles points 100 miles away from
railroads are now in close touch
with civilization. What uesd to be
several days travel between ranch
and railway station is now a nat
ter of but a few hours.
"Automobiles ar used on near
ly all the ranches. The cow pony
has almost passed with the passing
of cowboys. On several big ranches
I saw men rounding up cattle using
automobiles instead of ponies. On
the lines of the Texas & Pacific
and the Southern Pacific as well
as along the line of t'he Fort Worth
& Denver automobiles are to ba
seen from car windows standing' at
stations where ranch wagons and
ambulances used to await the com-
ing of the train' S. A. Express.
Costly Hog Meat Or Liar?
Richmond Const er.
We heard a man remark the
other day that he knew a farmer
who fed about SO head of hogs
corn and put up all his meat but
he wpuld bet thnt it cost him a
dollar a pound; that if he would
sell his corn he could buy more
meat than the hogs made. If that
man's statement be true then a
200-pound meat hog cost that far
mer $200 and eighty cost him
$16000. Then we wondered if
thnt fellow that talked ever raised
a hog or ever knew that he could
figure on two sides of a slate.

FARSIER AND PRIMER.
K Shotrid Be a SMuit of Soils and
Pkuif Life.
The farmer should be a student
of agriculture not a blind follow .r
of example. As a mere matter of
dollars and cents study of mjIIs
and plants is an advantage too
obvious to need pointing oat. The
farmer who is able to classify his
soils and who. having done so.
knows how to handle them and
get out of them the best thev have
to giv has the other man hopeless-
ly handicapped at the beginning.
Without a knowledge of the habits
and growing of plants how and
whence they get their food what
that food consists in and what
conditions encourage its transmuta
tion into the life of the ;lant. the
fanner is working in semi-darkness
when he might l ave the advantage
of the clear light of knowledge to
guide him. But the matter of
dolkrs and cents is not the sole
end of man what ever may be the
department iu which he works
nor the chief end. There is con-
tent which means happiness in
the successful application of knowl-
edge to the work at hand. There
is joy in the limited knowledge of
God's creation of Nature's work-
shop which wc arc permitted to
acquire. Fortunate is the man or
woman who has enjoyed the advan-
tages offered by our great agri-
cultural colleges but these are for
the few. The many must acquire
the desired knowledge on the farm
and there awaiting his investiga-
tion is a rich store needing only
properly directed study for its
acquirement. For the direction of
this study there are now printed
by Government State and private
institutions books and pamphlets
within the reach of all. There are
text books that should have a place
in every farm home which treat
of agriculture so simply lucidly
and interestedly that a child can
comprehend the beautiful truths
they teach and carry out many of
the interesting experiments sug-
gested. Government and State
Agricultornl Departments publish
full reports of experimental work
for the benefit of the farmer.
These are his for the asking. The
farmer who fails to take advantage
of the opportunities offered by
present day knowledge and who
fails to instill iu the minds of the
children of the farm a knowledge
and love for agriculture is doing
less than lib duty to himself and
his country. Rice Journal.
If The Power Were Shut Off
By way of emphasizing the value
of advertising an enthusiast asks:
"Did yu ever stop to think what
would happen if every form of
advertising in the United States
should be prohibited for ninety
days?" Inside of half that time
the mills and manufactories would
stop for lack of orders; the almost
empty stores would close their
idoors; millions of people and
millions of capital would be thrown
out of employment and this coun-
try would be overwhemeel by the
greatest financial and industrial
panic it has ever known. It is the
tremendous power of publicity
that turns the wheals of pro
gress.
