LARGE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE STILL HOPE FOR

While many Democrats believe—and I am one of the number—■
that public ownership offers the ULTIMATE SOLUTION of the
problem, still those who believe that the public will finally in self
defense be driven to ownership recognize that regulation must be tfied
under the most favorable circumstances before the masses will* be
ready to try a more RADICAL remedy.
Regulation cannot be sufficiently tried within the next year, and
there is no desire anywhere to make government ownership an issue in
1908. I fully agree with those who believe that it would be UN-
WISE to turn attention from regulation, in which THE PEOPLE
ARE READY TO ACT, to government ownership, upon which
the people are not ready to act. To inject the government ownership
question into the next campaign would simply give representatives of
the railroads a chance to DODGE THE ISSUE of regulation and
deceive the public.

MON PEOPLE on all three questions.
Let the line be drawn between those who want to make this a

this was to be a great country, and they knew that if it were
to attain to the FULL MEASURE of their best expectations it must
be a country where the law, and the law alone, should be supreme.
They knew full well that to be great it must be governed by just laws..

Such advice in this sort of weather
might at first glance be accepted as a bit
of sarcasm. It is not so intended. In-
tense heat may be borne with reason-
able comfort 'and without danger if
mental equilibrium is maintained. There
is a great deal in the attitude of the
mind when it comes to enduring heat.
Anger usually causes the face to flush
and the pulse to quicken. Nervousness,
worry and fussiness all help to add fuel
to the flame. Don’t get excited. Keep
cool.
Imagination has much to do with bear-
ing up under excessive hot weather. If
a man begins to fret and fume and mag-
nifies the little inconvenience which the
hot weather is causing him, he is
to suffer to an exaggerated degree,

who asked for some assistance. Sam
says he gave the man $2. His preacher
brother remonstrated with him, saying:
“That fellow will go straight to the near-

that he did not care what he did with

The Mexican colony of Galveston is
making extensive preparations for a fes-
tival or celebration on Sept. 15 and 16.
Sept. 15 is the anniversary of the birth of
President Diaz of the Mexican republic,
and Sept. 16 is the anniversary of Mexi-
can independence from Spain. On the
date named above President Diaz will be
77 years old. Independence from Spain
was won in the year 1810. The hero of
that war for independence was Miguel
Hidalgo y Costilla, and he is honored and
revered in Mexican hiskory as is the mem-
ory of George Washington in American
history. The celebration locally will be
held under the auspices of a newly formed
organization or association of Mexicans
in the city, this organization being
“Sociedad Mutualista Mexicana,” or
Mutual Mexican society.
The officers of this socie'ty, which
numbers about sixty members, and which
was organized a short time ago are:
President, Pedro C. Rosado; vice presi-
dent, M. N. Velarde; secretary, Genaro
Pedrosa; treasurer, Vidal Carlin. The
“vocales,” or board of directors, as Amer-
icans would express it, are: J. D. Se-
gura, Enrique C. Riojas, Eugenio Iglesias
and J. M. Villamil. The alternate “vo-
cales,” that is, those who serve in the
absence, sickness or death of the regular
members of the board of directors, are:
Julian Carlin, Manuel Molina, Nicandro
Trevino and Juan Ramiraz.
In outlining the purposes and aims of
this society, Mr. M. N. Velarde, vice
president of the society, and also Mexi-
can consul at Galveston, said:
“Our purpose is to elevate the members
of our race in the city. We hope to raise
the standard of morality and enlighten-
ment among our countrymen and help
them in every way along lines that lead
to a better citizenship. We recognize that
many of the Mexicans of Galveston are
illiterate, and it is with a view, partly, of
helping them along these lines that we
have organized this society.

it will be one of the obligations of the so-
ciety to do tha«t. Our countrymen are
scattered over the city, and we wish to

they now are.
“At present the constitution of the so-
ciety is being printed. When this is pub-
lished it will call for meetings of the so-
ciety every two weeks. We have a mem-
bership now of sixty, and we think that
within a short time this will have in-
creased to 100. For the two-day festival
of Sept. 15-16 there will be programs of
patriotic songs and addresses, as well as
something in the nature of a banquet. We
have secured the use. of the Red Men’s
hall, 22d street, between Market and Me-
chanic, and the celebration, as well as
all regular meetings, will be held there.”
