President Zelaya of Nicaragua
Has Been So Dubbed for
His Past Activities.
PART IN PRESENT TROUBLE
Joan Estrada, Leader of the Opposi
tion, Is Also the Prospective
President.
Br JAMES A. EDGERTON.
Jose Santos Zelaya, president of Ni
caragua, has been called the mischief
maker of Central America. It may turn
oat that when he had two American
citizens shot without proper trial he
made mischief once too often. As an
ordinary thing your Uncle Samuel does
not grow highly excited over these
Latin American revolutions, but when
some two by four despot like Zelaya
imagines he can shoot Americans in
JOSB 8AKTOS ZKLATA.
the same high handed manner he does
his own subjects it is time to put the
fear of God into his heart.
Zelaya has been lord high boss of
Nicaragua for sixteen years. That is
not the official name for his job, but is
more nearly descriptive of it than his
official title. To be precise, he is
known as president and is supposed to
be elected every four years. But to be
truthful which is more important, at
least outside of diplomatic circles he
! put himself in by bayonets and has
! maintained his power by bullets. True,
the forms of an election have been
gone through at stipulated times, but
there was no opposition for the reason
that if anybody else had dared to be
a candidate Zelaya would have had
I him tnken out and shot.
During much of the time he has been
in office Zelaya has been engaged in
putting down revolutions or iu fight
ing some of the other Central Ameri
can republics. He was putting down
one of these annual uprisings or try
ing to do so at the time he got gay
with the two Americans Leroy Can
non and Leonard Groce and had them
shot one morning before breakfast. It
is hard to tell why all these Latin
American executions occur before
breakfast. Possibly it Is for the pur
pose of giving the executioners an ap
petite. How th Trouble Begins.
The ordinal number of the present
Nicaraguan revolution is not known.
It may be the seventeenth or the sixty
fourth, but anyway it Is something
high. When the band plays at an unu
sual time down there it is usually the
signal for a new revolt. Somebody
wants to be president, and. Inasmuch
as he will be shot if he goes about It
In a peaceful way. he tries to shoot
first.
This uprising was started by the Es
trada family, which has furnished
some of Zelayu chief officials. There
were Ave of the Estrada brothers, but
one of them is now dead. The young
est of the fire, Juan Estrada, is the
leader of the movement and prospec
tive president. The two Americans
Cannon and Groce. who were large
property owners in Nicaragua and else
where in Central America, Joined the
Estrada standard, and one of them
was placed on the commander's staff.
Zelaya surprised the Insurgent army
by crossing into Costa Rica and at
tacking it, and the two Americans
were captured among others. Instead
of being treated as prisoners of war
they were summarily executed. It Is
this which has caused the rushing of
American gunboats to Nicaraguan wa
ters and which occasioned the sharp
note from Secretary Knox stating that
the United States would not for one
minute tolerate such action. The exe
cution of prisoners unless they are
spies is contrary to international law
and opposed to civilized warfare.
Zelaya a Chronlo Disturber.
This Is not the first trouble we have
had with Zelaya, but on former occa
sions he has evaded giving satisfac
tion on the pretense that the American
demands were aggressions. From well
authenticated reports that have come
from his dominions be bas revived the
terrors of the Spanish inquisition and
has tried to make of himself a cheap
composite of Torquemada, the Duke
of Alva and Clprlano Castro. Zelaya
is better educated than Castro, being
the son of a planter and having re
ceived bis schooling In Paris. After
his return to his own country ne was
one of the yonng bloods and declaimed
so violently against the government
that he was banished and Joined Pres
ident Barrios of Guatemala, whose
dream was to become head of all the
Central American republics, an ambi
tion that Zelaya himself afterward en
tertained. The young soldier became
a member ef Barrios' ataff and follow
ed him to his death. Zelaya then re
turned to his own country, led a revo
lution and landed In the president's
chair.
. .Nicaragua Is about the size ef New
England and has less than a bait
million inhabitants, most of whom are
Indians. In the old days It was called
Mohammed's paradise, but If the fol
lowers of the prophet were to see it
they would forswear their religion.
Nicaragua has no roads and in the In
terior is as primitive as In the days
of Columbus. The principal Industries
are raising revolutions and avoiding
work. Zelaya has added one other oc
cupation to those two that of paying
taxes. He is a great ooney maker and
has amassed a private fortune of mil
lions. He is brave, however, bas
shown some military ability and made
of his army something more than the
Joke it is in some Latin American
countries.
A QUESTION OF BAIT.
Should the Beggar Leave Few or Many
Cents In Hie HatT
"One thing that I've never been able
to settle in my mind to my own sat
isfaction," said a street beggar whose
specialty is sitting on a step and hold
ing out his bat to passersby, "is the
question of bow many pennies It is
wise to have In the bat for people to
see as they go by. Of course you un
derstand there are two theories on this.
Working on one you leave there only
a few, just three or four pennies scat
tered around irregular, but pretty far
apart, and on the other you leave in
the hat a lot of pennies.
"Of course the Idea of the first plan
is to make people when they see how
little you've got want to chip In and
help, and the Idea of the other plan
Is to stir people up to generosity by
showing them how generous others
have been, and there's a heap to be
said for that. There's lots of people
that give because other people have
given because they like to go with
the crowd.
"I've tried both plans and bad good
days with lean bait and bad days with
a full bait In the hat. and then I've
had good days with a full bait and
bad days with a lean bait. All you can
do is, if one plan doesn't work well,
try the other. You never can tell."

HEALTH OF ANIMALS BEST
BECAUSE OF GOOD DIGESTION
An interesting interview was recent
ly obtained with L. T. Cooper, whose
theory and medicines have created
such a sensation during the past year.
Mr. Cooper, in speaking of the re
markable success of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why it is successful. The human stom
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most ill health. In the
horse, the dog, and the wild animals
generally, you see no nerve exhaustion,
no chronic debility. They are not
shut up day after day with practically
no exercise, and they are not able to
stuff themselves with food when their
bodies have not had enough work to
justify it. The human race has been
doing this for years, and look at the
result half the people are complaining
of poor health, not real illness just a
half-sick, tired, droopy feeling. They
don't really know what Is the matter
with them.
"I know that all the trouble Is caus
ed by weak, overworked stomachs. I
have proved this with my medicine to
many thousands of people in most of
the leading cities of the country. This
is the real reason for the demand for
my preparation."
Among those who have recently
been converted to Cooper's theory is
S. W. Beckham of Aberdeen, Miss.,
who says: "I have just spent four mis
erable years asking and searching for
relief from indigestion and Btomach
trouble. I can not describe the -suffering
I have been through. My health
was undermined, and I could see my
self rapidly failing. I could neither
eat, sleep nor work. The little food I
did manage to swallow gave me the
greatest distress.
"I consulted physicians, but their
medicine did me no good. I tried out

WARNED BY HILL
Railroad Man Tells What He
Fears Will Come of Na
tional Extravagance.
RATE WE LIVE DANGEROUS
Need Is For More Producers and Not
So Many Consumers Destroys
Our Moral Fabric
James J. Hill, the pioneer of the
northwest and one of the most con
spicuous railroad men of the world,
believes that the United States must
recede from its extravagance, the Lu
cullian way of living, and get back to
the old way of hog, hominy and milk
or else go to destruction.
"Not only America, but Europe," he
said recently to an Interviewer at his
office in New York, "is afflicted with
the germ of recklessness. Our na
tional legislature sets the pace.
"We are spending millions on top of
millions for the army, for the navy,
when we need neither. For congress
to appropriate the several hundred
millions annually, as it does, for the
guns of the ships is encouragement for
the Individual to talk about warfare
when there isn't any war cloud appar
ent anywhere.
Commercial War Needed.
"Grant said, 'Let us have peace.'
But, as Napoleon desired for his time
and his reign, this country seems to
wish war. And why and for what?
What reason have we to combat, ex
cept commercially, any foreign power?
And yet, speaking soberly, I will say
that we must do something quickly
toward regaining our trade with other
countries.
"Germany, England and France are
advancing and pre-empting territory
that naturally belongs to us. We can
recover that trade only by encourag
ing shipping industries, by more mark
ed methods of Inviting trade, by sys
tems of reciprocity, by competition
the latter, after all, being the real key
note of commerce.
"Were I In control of the finances of
this government I should spend more
for the development of the farm and
less for the fineness of firearms. 1
should have agricultural stations sit
uated In all parts of the nation where
one might come to be taught bow to
grow two blades of grass- where but
one grew before.
Have Too Few Producers.
"Think of the congestion in the cities.
How long can this nation survive un
der present conditions? We have few
producers, a multitude of consumers.
I have forgotten the figures, but some-
numerous remedies, with a like result.
I was at the end of my string, my
pocketbood emptied, and I was in a
worse condition than ever. I gave up
in despair; there seemed to be no
hope left, and 1 was completely discour
aged. "A friend came to me and urged me
to try Cooper's New Discovery medi
cine. I threw up my hands in disgust
what was the use? His sincerity im
pressed me, and I finally decided to
take another chance, and bought one
bottle of the New Discovery- I bad
no idea that it would help me, but it
did.
"From the first day I could notice an
improvement, and by the time the first
bottle had been emptied there was a
very noticeable change for the better.
My bowels were thoroughly cleansed,
my stomach felt easier and retained
food, and my digestive organs began
to perform their functions properly.
My sleep became restful and refresh
ing. I developed a good appetite, and
soon discovered that I could eat any
thing I cared for and as much as I
wanted, without a thought of distress
afterward.
"Imagine how good everything tast
ed to a man who had been on the verge
of starvation for four years. My
strength soon returned, and I contin
ued until I had taken four bottles. I
am now entirely well never felt bet
ter in my life. All my former trouble
has disappeared. I owe it all to Coop
er's New Discovery, and would be un
grateful, indeed, if I failed to give
praise where It is due.
"I make this statement purely from
a sense of duty. To onyone who Is suf
fering in any way from stomach trou
ble I can recommend this Cooper med
icine." Cooper's New Discovery Is sold by
all druggists everywhere.
lm K Jm,Z7y Take K!B
Where I have read that 70 per cent of
the people live in city houses, steam
heated Hats, in homes unsuited for
health, unequipped for the sturdiness
necessary -for the development of our
manhood. I should like to see the gov
ernment spend millions in the encour
agement of men and women going to
the country, there to live as God in
tended they should live to raise chil
dren, produce grain, meat and milk.
"We must get out of the notion that
we are living for the present. It is a
bad system of society that prompts the
well being of today, caring nothing for
tomorrow, for those who come after.
People Should Go to Farm.
"Millions upon millions of acres lie
undisturbed in the west, in the south
and even in the east. You have pov
erty stricken people in your great cit
ies, children who are denied the privi
leges of education, mothers who, must
go through life with tear stained eyes,
husbands and fathers with burdens
they can ill afford to carry. And why?
Because of their nonproductlveness.
"This country as a government ulti
mately must go backward unless we
Induce the people to go to the farms
out in the country where health may
be obtained, where a man may make
a living, where the boys and girls may
go hopfootlcg it over hill and valley,
gaining strength with every step.
"The desire seems to be for the
young to get. to the city. That desire
must be circumvented, dissipated by
some sort of method. We must make
the country life as attractive to the
young as the city is. We must teach
them that where the city affords a dol
lar the rural communities will contrib
ute $ 2. And that is true unless one is
a genius.
"You ask about the prosperity of the
nation. It was never better. Crops
have been good, mortgages have been
wiped away by the millions, new fields
have been opened, new cities built, new
railroads constructed, others planned.
Peace reigns. I can see no black spot
anywhere. There will be no central
bank. The country will not stand for
it.
"Let congress and the various state
legislatures take a more catholic view
of the railroad situation. Let them re
member that the railroad Investor has
his money at stake, that he has con
tributed something toward the devel
opment of tho country, that he is nei
ther a thief nor a robber, as some
would have his countrymen believe,
and then we will have a more homo
geneous nation, less trouble, more flour
and bacon sides In our pantries, fewer
suicides, greater bank accounts In our
savings institutions, better morals.
"We must learn to be less extrava
gant. We must be taught to under
stand that at the rate our people are
living destruction to the whole moral
fabric of the nation is inevitable."
