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.

Or, Groover, Specialist 004-7 Dyer Bido- Auousta, Ge. 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.” $20.00 Steamer Trunks, to close at $ll.OO.
