Who Is To Deliver Mexico?
What the Huerta men at Niag
ara are trying to save is not the
usurper, but the usurpation.
They will sacrifice Huerta to
save the land interests. When
they speak of a neutral provis
ional president they mean one
who, while not openly attached
to either the dictatorship or
the rebellion, is steeped in aris
tocracy and land monopoly.
There are plenty of such hidal
gos who would be glad to have
peace, but who intend, if possi
ble, to keep their land.
If this grandee element per
sists in its refusal to accept a
Constitutionalist whose modera
tion would be guaranteed by the
United States, Brazil, Argentine
and Chili, it will have an oppor
tunity presently to deal with
General Villa, who is a land re
former of the machine gun type.
When he arrives in the City of
Mexico with his victorious army,
estates and fortunes, ancient ti
tles and privileges, that are
now held with a death-like grip
will not appear so valuable.
It is not so much a military
situation or a political upheaval
that mediation helplessly con
fronts as a social and economic
revolution. Of this movement,
Villa, whatever his early record,
is a truer representative than
tCarranza. Villa has triumphed
partly because of his ability as
a soldier ,but principally be
cause in his ranks the new Mex
ico is to be found armed and res
olute.

ble proofs of this man’s capaci
ty for leadership, but not one of
them has been more conclusive
>
tha nhis willingness to be ad
vised and assisted by the Unit
led States, Carranza, on the
contrary, has been suspicious,
jpunctillious, boastful and offen
sive. Villa, the fighting man,
; would weleorrte an honorable
I peace. Carranza, always posing,
i always self-centered, always in
! listing that men shall recognize
I only in him the personification
of Mexican aspirations, is for
war, and more war.
i The deliverer of Mexico, now
cr later, is likely to be a soldier
attached to constitutional meth
ods and appreciative of the im
mense moral and material value

STOMACH TROUBLES
Mr. R ag land Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Cbas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes; “! hart
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feel like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon you*
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit
its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford'3 Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in actioa,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sate

tract of land of 640 acres, with
500 acres of sandy loam, walnut

Richardson is wide a wake as

this section of the state all his
life, and has bought thousands

these lands are now paying him
j more rent per annum than they
cost him. There is nothing saf

Reason for Superiority.
