THE HI6H ROAD TO FULL RECOVERY.
<Houston Post.)
In an interview given to a reporter of
the San Antonio Express last Saturday
Judge Charles A. Douglas of \\ a slung ion.
D. C.. expressed the belief that Mexico is
on the highway to a full recovery of in-
dustry. agriculture and commerce. Judge
Douglas is the general counsel in the
l nited States tor President Carariuw. He
it* the man win* conducted the nego*la
tions looking to the rets >grut ion of the
•Carranza government by this country and
he is thoroughly informed as to condi-
tions m that country. Speaking to the
Express reporter Judge Douglas said:
M ith ZajNita and \ ilia In>I|i suing tor
peace: with everybody m Mexico tired
ol anarchy and fighting the country is
going to settle d«>wn and he one of the
best in the world. Business relations
are being re-established again between
the two countries on a broad and
promising basis. Arnold Sliankbn
formerly consul general to Mexico from
the Lnited States. again in that
country after barely escaping with bis
life and building up a big business as
the representative of a large oil com-
pany. There will be no more banditry.
Of course there may be tt lew* brigands
in the hills to cause an occasional *mall
disturbance for a while hut that will
be handled by the Mexican p dice.
American business men can again ex-
pect to do a good e\|»ort business with
Mexico the judge intimated. For a long
time good' shipped to interior Mexican
lies tmattuii' have frequently been held up
at the border and sent back. Railroads
notably the Orient have had many diffi-
culties in Mexico. That these difficulties
will be ironed out to satisfaction was the
assurance of I arraiiz;r’> legal represent)!
five. And that his vi-it t Mexico was
more or b*..- concerned with -u<-h problems
was strongly borne out by the fact that
the judge q»ent much ol ye-terday in con
ference with Epe* Randolpli of Tucson.
An/.. official of -eviral railroad- doing
bu-ine-- in the Fnited Stall's and Mexico
although the .judge refused to be quoted on
tb* matter at this time.
The interview above quoted shows again
that Houston is on the right track in going
after trade with Mexico at this time. This
city has every right to expert that the
Mexican republic will share her trade with
our merchants. We are eloser to a great
section of that country than any other
Texas city. V\ e have water communion -
tion with her seaport*. And our business
men :<••• aeeiistomed to catering to the
want- of the Mexican people.
PREACHING AND PRACTICING.
Mireeiivdle Manner.!
Preaching economy i- «>ne thing and
practicing it nun In wholly a different
thing according to the uuo taken by
different people. There are plent.i who
can preaeh it who do not always praetiee
it. If a person i' able to buy whatever
they want wh> hould they not buy it.’
is the may main argue to theui-elve-. They
ask others to cut down cx| tenses make
the ni<*-t of the hour to go down to rock
ladtom In swell instances it i- the (toor
win* are ex pec led to economi/e not those
who control money. This c a nine when
all should economize. It i- a matter lor
the whole ualioii not a part of it. The;
rich should observe tin- a- resolutely a-
the poor. It i- a sacrifice. *»i course but
that is wluit comes to any people w'ho go
to wur.
GREAT PAGEANT FOR RED CROSS.
NEW YORK. Oct. .r».—The fact that ten
dollars \v«s the price of admission did
not deter hundreds ot patriotic New York
ers from journeying to Huntington. L I.
today to attend the great national Red
Cross pageant at Rosemary Farm. An
amphitheater seating 4000 persons was
erected for the occasion and the advance
-ale of tickets indicated that there would
he no vacant seats. Prohublv never before
in the history of the metropolis has an
affair of this kind been arranged on such
an elaborate scale. Without question
nothing of the kind gi\en before has ever
had such a large nuuibe rof distinguished
participants. Included among the per-
formers were virtually all of the famous
actors and actresses now ap|trnnng in
New York or within a da>>* ride of the
city with numerous stars from motion
pictures and grand opera thrown in for
good measure.
The idea if the pageant originated with
Henry P. Davison chairman of the Red
Cross war council and it was arranged
as the personal offering if the men and
women ot the siasfi* to the cause of the
Red Cross. The entire proceeds ot the per-
formance. ♦ — timated at *5iMMMI will <:■. to
