FRIDAY. JULY 10.
This is the Way it Looks to the
Grand Old Man of Vera Cruz
Don Theodore Dehesa Won Neither His 18 Years of
Peaceful Administration As Governor Nor His Million
Dollars By Milk and Water Methods
kVera Cruz.—Don Teodore Dehesa is
era Gruz’s great man. He was gov
ernor of _the state for eighteen years, he
rich, cultured, and to him repair the
doubtful for advice on business and on
politics—particularly on politics, though
the dignified ex-governor will tell you
that he has retired from politics and lias
only an onlooker’s interest in the pass
age of events. His retirement from
politics was coincident with the resig
nation of Potfirio Diaz of the presi
dency.
More than once when the distracted
country has been putting its favorite
conundrum “who can hold down the lid
when Huerta drops out” there has been
a mention of the grave old-time gover
nor. under whose dominion Vera Cruz
remained steady, prosperous and at
though all the rest of the country
struggled and revolted and rioted—but
Don Teodore will tell you that tills is
idle talk—that he aspires to no such
lofty post in the settlement of his coun
try’s difficulties.
He is content to hope for peace, to do
what he can to bring about peace—and
for tHe rest he is satisfied among his
books and pictures—and lie has some
pictures worthy of anybody’s attention.
There is a Niurillo on the walls of the
home so unprepossessing external!' - , so
beautiful within—that might well be in
one of the great museums, and a Wat
teau that is unmatched tins side of the
hig water, and others /it for their com
pany, but—as lie says—you ought to see
liis real collection in hi/ real borne in
Jalapa, capital of the state, now the
< amp of Ihe biggest Federal force this
side of Mexico City.

“And how is that peace to be brought

who are thoughtful enough to have
ideals, are those of every other civilized
race on earth. We are unfortunate in
that a man of egotism has seized the
headhip of the government; the people
cannot rest quiet under such a ruler—
neither will they be any more content
under some soldier of fortune who seizes
his power. Such a situation has con
fronted many nations and it has always
been settled in the same way—when it
has been settled without scandalizing
t lie world. The time will bring for
ward the man—a man whose principles
are honesty and justice, who is firm
enough to suppress the factions whose
interest lie in exploitation, but who
proceeds without though t. of personal
vengeance cflr personal interest —who Is
competent to deal with the situation.”
‘‘And so you know such a man?”
“There are many; you journalists
given the world the idea that there
tire none but adventurers and grafters
among us; just as you—and I include
the journalists of my own country—
have builded such men as Villa and Za
pata intq world figures, by your exag
gerations-\by your multiplying the num
ber of their followers ten-fold and en
dowing them with picturesque charater
istics they do not possess. Even among
the factionallsts there are men of suf
ficient lntcVlgenoe, principle and pa
triotism to restore peace in Mexico,
given to opportunity.”
“And who, in your judgment, Is the
Lest man to succeed Huerta?”
“I do not care to attempt to name any
particular man. The mediators will
doubtless arrive at a satisfactory solu
tion, including an acceptable successor
to Huerta. I suppose they went with
plenary powers; to accomplish such a
mission ?
“Then you think Mexico is capable
of being pacified without intervention?”
“Intervention! what call has your na
tion to intervene in the affairs of mine?
A pacification of conquest has no place
in the mind of a modern nation.”
“Hasn’t a nation a right and a duty
to protect its own citizens from mur
der and exploitation? Mexico has not
been able to protect Americans.”
“There has been comparatively few
such outrages. In a country’ where revo
lution is rife there will always be some
affliction of foreigners by bandits. Even
in pence time, you have had your own
anti-Italian and anti-Japanese riots. As
to the more recent hardships suffered
l y Americans, the arresting and impris
oning of correspondents and others,
please bear in mind that your troops
have landed on our soil, that you hold
our principal port. Suppose the autonmy
of United States was threatened by a
giot power that seized and held the port
of New York, would the subjects of such
a power be very popular with you?”
The general in command just beyond
pour outposts Illustrates the effect on
Mexicans of the Invasion. General Gar
cia Pena hud nothing in common with
Huerta’s administration. He declined
to take part in the civil war; he would
not fight for Fiuerta against the Rebels
and he would not fight with the Rebels
against bis country, but when a foreign |
jfi-c landed on our shores, like an hon- \
est soldier he placed his sword at his j
country’s disposal and welcomed an as- |
signment where he would be the first |
to confront the invader—and that is the
attitude of every Mexican officer, even
among those classed as Huerta’s ene
nres.”
“You have seen the American soldiers
naiiors and marines, what is your opin
i>n of their conduct since they have
been in possession of the port?”
“They are soldiers—doubtless- excellent ‘
soldiers: their conduct has been average I
“Regular” was the expression the gov
ernor employed. After the fighting was
over, when their officers had them under
control and the dust of battle was past;
they were exemplary, but your soldiers
rue in i tow-headed angels. During the
two days of the firing there were ex
cesses. Some of my frffend* suffered In
trusion. there was some looting and some
unnecessary shooting; there always is on
si- I- occasions. It is not a subject for
cr! i i«. ! sni but it looks different from tbe
sde of the Invader and that of the in
\ Briers."
“Suppose you were to succeed Huerta,
bow vm Id you go about pacifying the
country ?”
“There is only one way, by exact Jus
tice; the suppression of violence and the
elimination of those who insist on vio
lence.” / '
•‘And How would you deal with such
chiefs os Villa and Zapata, If they fail
ed to agree to your plans of reconstruc
tion?”
‘/Thev could be CesJt with; the world
is wide and men who would not keep
peace in Mexico might be accommodated
elsewhere. There is a difference be
tween justice and vnegeanee.
ever Is chosen must forget the past.
Men must not be executed for what poli
tical part they played, but there must be
no weakness in dealing with those who
persist In defying tbe new government.
Sonic doubtless would try the old-fash
inn of revolt when they did not get what
they thought they could command, but
the' fate of these would deter other*.
All the best men and the strongest men
In the country desire peace; they will
not support unworthy politicians but
thre will be no lack of patriotic support
of an administration devoted solely to
tbe country's welfare. Before such a
united sentiment rebellions will crum
ble.” .
“And tbe land question?
“A dream. Divide the land among
our Indians and they will not hold It a
week. In a very short time the shrewd
land speculators or the old owners would
buy it from them for a meal <*r a drink
and the whole problem would have to be
gone over again. Until we have edu
cated these people to the responsibility
of bolding property it is Impossibls to
make such a distribution as the theor
slts suggest. Only education can make
of Mexico a community of smsll land
owners You ask me about plans of
regenerating this country; the states
men and the soldiers can only make a
beginning; it is tne schools that, will
finally solve alj Mexico's problems— add
we require no American assslstance to
accomplish that destiny, thank you.”
