So far as predictions eo, wo neither

direct attention to ono made on Sep
tember 15, 1012, by n prominent
stockman of Casper, Wyo whoso
r.amo is withheld for tho eaks of his
reputation as a forecaster. He hap
pened to bo in Omaha on business
at tho time and this is what ho said:
X have lived In Wyoming, Nebraska
and the west all my life more than fifty
years and since I have been old enough
to observe I have made a study ot the

While I hop I am mistaken, Indica
tion's are that 'tho coming; winter I to

As tho records show, tho winter
was quito mild, milder, in fact, than
usual. This Is recalled, not in dero
gation of this man's skill as a weath-
ervane, but to show that, whllo all

Mexico as It Is.
A 1 on b-tlmo resident of Mexico,
writing in tho Atlantic Monthly on
"Mexico As It Is," throws soma very
intorosting sldollghts on tho sltua
Hon from the tlmo ot Madero'a revo
lution to tho present, helpful to a
more Intelligent appreciation of it.
lie begins by reciting that for nearly
800 yearn Mexico has boon in tho
throes of revolution, lncidontnliy ob
serving tho "ominous fact that tho
long pcaco which General Forflrio
Daz had given to his country was
brokon in tho vqry year in which
Mexico celebrated tho centenary ot
her emancipation from Spain." Tho
inference ho would draw is that a
century of so-called indopondonco
had not cured Moxlco ot tho revolu
tionary habit.
Bo long as Diaz hold his iron grip
on the country, it continued at peace,
but as tho woight ot yours weakenod
his, hold tho old habit began to re
assert itself and under Sonor Fran
cIsco I, Madero, "whom social and
pecuniary, prominence marked out
tor tho leadership of tho movement,"
reached 'a eJlmsuc. Under presauro
Diaz- ahdiigaVedi' Madere ascended to
tho presidency, revolutions multi
plied, faotlonullam increased, Ma
dci-o fell, Iluerta roso, and tho end
no man may predict, for Mexico is
still Moxlco, Eighty por cant of its
people aro illltorato, but a fraction

Ing ot constitutional government and
no ono man now conspicuous upon
tho disturbed horizon commands

Ah to Madero, was ho a sincere
patriot or was ho a aojf eookor? This.
author says ho was unsoltlsh, lie
ovon prqnounccs him "an ldoallst,
personally dlslntorestod and inspired
by motlvoB- no doubt mistaken mo
Uvea of tho purest patriotism."
Such Is likely to bo history's esti
mate, but over against It must bo
placed another estimate, namely,
that Madero mado, both for himself
and his nation, tho cgroglou blun
dor ot dealing with Mexico as hu
would llko it to ho inBtoRd ot as it
was, a very natural mistake, of
course, for an Idealist to make. AU
of which seems to suggest that It
idealists are neoded In Mexico today
they must, to succeed, be ot the Por-
tirio Diaz instead of tho Madero type.
Dlspasslonato students mutt conclude
by now that tho initial error springs
from tho Maxicaa constitution con.

when, In fact, it is workable only by
a military olifrnrchy.
The Suppression of Clayton.
Congressman Clayton ot Alabama
announces his withdrawal from tho
senatorial raco in deference to the
president's request that he remain in
the house, where as chairman ot the
Judiciary committee, he Is indispens
able to the administration's antl
trust program. To this high tribute,
Mr. Clayton is not he blamed for
bowing, especially when Mr. Under
wood, who Is not indispensable
seoma to have tho right-of-way In the
senatorial go-as-you-please for the
succession to tho late Senator John
ston. Ot course, the president in hU
letter to Clayton says nothing of the
senatorial matter; it is not neces
sary.
Tho incident la suggestive and in
teresting. Does the provident also
have a thought to Underwood's suc
cesa? It will be remembered with
what teal tho president, between his
nomination and election, announced
his confidence in tho Judgment and
counsel ot Underwood, for whom he
sent on more than ono occasion. Un
derwood has had presidential aspira
tions Clayton has not At all
events, Clayton's seeming to step
aside this time may put him in line
for something better if not through

The Grief Behind the Grievance.
feOUTH OMAHA, Oct lLr-To the Editor
of Tna Bee; Regarding the Claim that
tile Bouth Omaha Board of Education is
discriminating against Corrigan school, I
desire to advise the public regarding the
fact. The crowded condition ot Highland
school required an additional teacher, as
there war threo rooms which had forty
five, forty-eight and fifty -one pupils, re
spectively. There was an averag ot less
than thtrty pupils to the room at Corrigan
school and It was possible to transfer a
teaohor and still leave enough teachers
at Corrigan to carry on the work.
After transferring a teacher from Cor
rigan there was still an average of less
than thirty to tho room and seven rooms
with lee than thirty pupils. There' is
ono room with forty-one pupils and the
next room to that, except the kindergar
ten with two teachers, has thirty-one. In
the room with forty-one tha two classes
aro evenly divided and Jt is considered a
full room, but not overcrowded. Corrigan
school still has eleven rooms for 325 pu
pils, and Highland, with an additional
teacher,, has ten rooms for 355 pupils, or
thirty-one moro than Corrigan.
This matter was left for adjustment
with the teachers' committee and the
transfer ot the teachers was by the unan
imous order ot the committee, consisting I
ot Horacek, Richardson and Leigh. It
seems to bo a matter only of whether the
Board of Education hires an additional
teacher, which is not needed, in order
that tho principal of Corrigan school can
draw an additional $5 per month. The
principal of Corrigan school happens to
be a relative of the local correspondent
of the World-Herald, henco his grief
over tho action of tho board. If it were
any other school nothing would be heard
from4he gentleman.
The Board of Education has dons more
for Corrigan school during thi last two
years than any other school in the city,
An addition was built at an expense ot
111,000 and a private sewer put in at an
additional expense ot fUOO. With the
teacher transferred it still has the lowest
average attendance of any school in the
olty. ' E. R. LEIGH,

DECATUR, Neb., Nones of Oct. 1913.
To the Editor of The Bee; In my last
letter I gave your readers an account
ot tho origin of railroad domination in
this statia and of Its continuance. I tried
to explain the circumstances and con
ditions that gave this state over to a
greedy and soulless corporation. Many
men who were voted Into prominence I
cannot say eminence in this state, have
been the willing and supple tools ot this
corporation. But ono of the facts in
favor of divine Providence Is the fact
that In great crises the right man appears
to spring up, as It wero, out of the earth.
The mere mention of Cromwell or of
Lincoln will suffice, without reading a
chapter or two in history. Bo it was In
Nebraska. A man came to the rescue, a
man who, through long years, labored
against obstacle before which many ordinary-
men would have shrunk Into si
lence. A man who endured abuso,
calumny and misrepresentation, while he
slowly educated tho people, ot Nebraska
to realise their rights. It is only an ag
gravation ot tho treatment he received
while living that people have learned to
appreciate him since his death. Edward
Rosewater will llvo In the history of' the
state as the only man from Nebraska
whose life deserves being written In a
separate volume. Voltalro educated the
people of France Into understanding their
own natural rights, but unwittingly, like
theheathen god described in Virgil, he
opened the cave wheretn a tempest was
confined. Edward Rosewater was never
a populist and waa never anything but
a republican. But for him neither the
populist party nor a dosen and one cheap
politicians who have come Up like bubbles
on the surface or a pool would have been
seen or heard. DER HE IDE.

LET THE PEOPLE RULE I
Minna Irvlhg. In Leslie's. ;
There was a man who yearned to be
Right in the public eye.
He dreamed at night about his nam
In letters six feet high.
So first be went upon the slags
And spouted tragic stuff.
But only played to empty seats.
And lell it in a nun.
A preacher next, he mode th dust
From pulplt-cushlons soar.
But quit because a greater man
Had pounded them before. ,
He lectured, but with scant success,
And then he tried to write.
But failure sat upon his Pen.
And nipped his genius bright
So having found that fame and cold
For him refused to mix.
For wont of something else to try
He entered politics.
He took a phrase he used to scrawl
In copy-books at school
To be hlB slogan at the polls:
'Twas, "Let tho People Rule.'
He painted It on banners gay
And flung them overhead.
He thundered It In every speech,
(The only thing he said.)
Believing that hs spoko tho truth,
Tho people, far and wide.
As their deliverer greeted him,
And rallied to his side.
Behold him now, a demagogue
In office waxing fat
The publlo at his door must wait
His pleasure on the mat.
And does he let the people rule.
Or even have their say?
You bet he never does, but lol
Ho lets the people pay.
