As a mem Two Candidates for Presi-|| _ dency at Next Election t Are Civilians BOTH REVOLUTIONIST Vasconcelos is Self-Made Man--Rfbio of Aristo- + crat Origin Mexico City, Sept. 9-- Mexico, now governed by a civilian president, Em- ilio Portes Gil, who was elected pro- visionally last December by congress will have another civilian as chief executive in 1930 unless in the mean- time there is an unexpected overturn in the political line-up. To succeed to the term of six years to which the late General Alvaro Obregon was elected, there arc two candidates, Pascual Ortiz Rubio and Jose Vas- ..concelos. When General Obregon was assas- inated in July, 1928, Portes Gil then secretary of the interior, was chosen for a provisional term of 14 months. Meanwhile elections for the regular term are scheduled for November of this year. Ortiz Rubio or Vasconce- los, depending on who is chosen will take office in February. Ortiz Rubio is the nominee of the National Revolutionary Party, found ed by Calles in an effort to weld to- gether the strongest members both of his own group and the Obregon- ista bloc. Behind Vasconcelos is the « Anti-Re-electionist aPrty, 2 faction which traces its origin to Francisco L. Madero, who under that banner overthrew Porforio Diaz in 1911 after * 30-years' dictatorship. Ortiz Rubio Favored With the power of the more strong ly organized group at his back, Ortiz Rubio 'is the favored candidate, If he is supported by a majority of of- fice-holders in the states and federal government, it seemg/inevitable that his election will resgt. . What of the personalities and poli- cies of the two candidates? Both describe themselves as "revo- lutiopists," that is, followers of the revolutionary reforms begun in 1911, But there the comparison ends. Vasconcelos is of the soil and self- made, 2 member of the lower middle class. Ortiz Rubio is an aristocrat who turned from his own class to the revolution. His relatives were law- vers, members of the supreme court of his natal state, Michoacan, church- men and high officers of state. The home city of Vasconcelos is Oaxaca, state of Oaxaca. There and in Mexico City, he worked his way through school, finally graduating in the capital from National School of arrested by . President Victoriano Huerta and « imprisoned. "When re- eased Ortiz 'Rubio 'joined : with Ve- pustiano Carranza in opposing Huer- ta. On the advent of Carranza to power, Ortiz Rubio became one of his aides, going on' foreign missions for him and serving as Governor of Mi- choacan in 1917. 3 4 Similarly, Vasconcelos was an en- emy of Victoriano Huerta, and helped Carranza in his fight against him. Vasconcelos however, broke with his chief and went over to Pancho Villa. When Villa and his movement went to pieces, Vasconcelos fled to San An- tonio, Tex., where he opened a tailor shop. It was not until Obregon had ousted Carranza that he was able to return to Mexico and resume his po- litical career. Qritz Rubio and Vasconcelos have each held cabinetships; Ortiz Rubio was secretary of communications un- der both Adolfo de la Huerta and Ob- regon. While serving in this latter post, Ortiz Rubio resigned to become minister to Germany and a little lat- er, ambassador to Brazil. It was not until six months ago that he returned to Mexico, having meanwhile been in Rio de Janeiro four years. Ortiz Rubio was nominated by the National Revolutionary. Party at its conyention in Queretaro in March of this year, Almost up to the day of the ballotting, Aaron Saenz, Governor of Nuevo Leon had been considered assured of 'the nomination. When the vote showed that Ortiz Rubio had been nominated the Sanccistas left the convention in disgust, asserting that the election had been unfair, Before the country had a chance to find' out what had actually happened the Escobar-Manzo-Carevo revolu- tion was under way, For nine weeks until 'the government succeeded in putting down the rebellion, politics was forgotten. : Vasconcelos to the time of his en- tering the presidential race was per- haps best known as an educator. He was rector of the National University undér de la Huerta and secretary of education in the Obregon cabinet, In general the ideas of Vasconcelos are much better known than those of Ortiz Rubio. The Anti-Re-electionist candidate takes pleasure in denounc- ing the United States which he ac- cuses of attempting to direct affairs in Mexico through the United States embassy here. He also represents in many ways the more extreme type of Mexican politician, combining ideal- ism with the 'revolutionary reforms.' Besides the two principal nominees of the leading parties, a Communist candidate, General Pedro Rodriguez Triana, is in the running. It is discovered that 1,920,281 wives work for wages in the United States. How many of them support husband in the style in which they have been accustomed, the figures do not reveal. --Boston Transcript. Partner with Happiness!

MEET IN CANAD American Prison Congress Gathers For Discussion of Crime Problems Toronto, Ont., Sept; 9.--~Prison and delinquent problems and methods adopted in crimi be di criminology cussed at what will be one of the largest conventions held on this con- tinent When the 5 Ametican Prison ss gathers in Toronto en Sept. 20 and Sept. 25, For the first time in many years this congress which usually meets in some United States city has decided to come over the border. Its dele- gates will bé composed of officers, wardens, and others connected in an executive capacity with the penal in- stitutions of Canada and the United States together with social workers 2. tact with this phase of work, . Arrangements for the congress are in the hands of Brig.-General W, S. Hughes, superintendent of penitenti- aries for the Dominion whose office is in Ottaw , The programme for the congress indicates many promi- nent men in criminological: matters will be heard, both from Canada and the United States, It is expected that wardens of penitentiaries and governors of many of the provincial Jails in Canada will be present, as well as social workers. The congress will be interesting for the contrasts it may afford in the viewpoints of administration of pri- sons, as it is well known that Canad- ian methods are much more conser- vative than United States ideas, par- ticularly in the amount of liberty and privilege accorded the inmates of prisons. Canadian prison officials probably will be able to show that their discipline based on the stand- ards of British justice is more effec- tive in controlling crime. The congress is sponsored by the American Prison Association, head- quarters of which are in the city of New York. Objects of that associa- tion are: (1) Improvement of the laws in relation to public offences and offen- ders, and the modes of procedure. by which such laws are enforced; (2) The study of the causes of crime, the nature of offenders and their social - surroundings, the best methods of dealing with offenders and of preventing crime; (3) Improvement of correctional, penal and reformatory institutions, mAnagement and discipline thereof, including the appointment of boards and of other officers; (4) Care of, and provision for, paroled and discharged prisoners and probationers especially such as may have given evidence of reformation. The deliberations of the congress are divided up into sectional interests under committee headings. Thus there are papers given on various as- pects of work and problems arising from the committee on jails, the com- mittee on probation, the committee on pardon and parole, the committee on criminal law and statistics, the com- mittee on prevention, the committee on public control and supervision and the committee on co-operation. And while the general trend of the con- gress is for reform and more modern methods in penology, there is no hard and fast line, but considerable diver- gence as to policy in such matters as capital punishment, solitary cell life, public hall versus cell meals, re- creation and the = silence rule. In some of these matters it is likely there, may be a clash of opinion as between the Canadian and the United States yiews. Co-gperating with the American Prison Association and with the De- partment of Justice at Ottawa in this congress is the Canadian Prisoners' Welfare Association, headquarters of which are in Montreal, while certain other bodies are also lending their aid. During the 'congress in Toronto some of the Ontario penal institu- tions will be visited by the delegates, There will be a luncheon meeting with a special speaker each day, and there will also be a banquet, while on the Sunday during the congress it is ex- pected special attention will be paid 'LONG SILENT Our poet had been long silent. He had sung In his golden youth, of the moon and the stars, And the whispering winds, and the light that Song ' In the hedvens after evening put up her bars. Now, after an aching interval, he came With a new song from the old heart in his breast; And over our world there burst a beautiful flame-- ; His last song his sweetest song, and his best. But not of Death was his music, nor of tears. * He sang of youth 4nd April and the days of his prime. For only the old can know the glory of young years, And only the old can sing of Once- on-a-time. . ~Charles Hanson Towne, in The Atlantic Monthly, cup pind "SEA NOCTURNE By James Grant Lights on the sea-line go, Vibrating to and fro, Errant, mysterious, low, Seen bright, seen dwindled; But that one steadfast spark- That cleaves the drooping dark, For what all fortunate barque Is it enkindled?

The Plaza de Armas passed into history as a duelling field some ten years ago when the Cuban goverh- ment ruled against settlement of dif- ferences: between gentlemen on the field of honoreand imposed drastic punishment for violators. The law reads that there shall be no dueling but the proud blood of Cubans demands personal satisfac- tion for injuries or insults." The habits of generations of Spanish grandees have not yet been eclipsed, by the swift strides of modernity in Cuba. Dueling remains but is sel- dom heard of publicly. Cloaked figures continue fo make their stealthy way through the still morning hours to isolated and sec- luded spots near Havana, there to settle grievances by ball or blade. An automobile whisking through Havana streets in the very early morning hours may often convey a mortally wounded man who has ex- piated his wrongs on the field of honor. Entrance into a hospital is under the guise of an operation; death "under the report of septic poisoning. So it is said. There is an occasional report of a duel in Havana newspapers, but not often. It is considered more expedi- ent and sensible to ignore dueling than it is to trace down the prota- gonists and thereby open wide an of- cial eye now slyly closed to san- guinary settlement of personal quar- rels.. Fencing acddemies flourish in Ha- vana. Young men and old practice there for the express purpose of "keeping fit." 'One of the most effi- cient fencing schools in all of Cuba is at the Havana Reporters ub, Cuban reporters who are allowed the privilege of personal expression and considerable editorial comment in news stories arc often pricipals in encounters. . Politicians may be classified second for they often enter into heated ar- gument on the street and end in a palm grove with pistol or blade. Just recently two * federal senators entered into an impassioned argu- ment which found its release on the field of honor. The demand for, per- sonal satisfaction was entered on the floor of the senate. A mere scratch erased the incident. = Satisfaction had been rendered and the men are now on friendly- terms. The law passed up the incident, Cuba may lay claim to having blotted out dueling but Dame Rumor hath it that it is always wise to know how to parry and thrust, aim and fire before offering insult to the true Cuban who, although boyish, blithe and debonair, can often become old with the call of the centuries when it comes to blotting out insults in blood. EE ------------------------------------------ PERIL OF IGE FORMS ON AEROPLANES Causes Discussed by Meteor- ological Expert Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 9.--~The peril of ice forming upon aircraft may come from three meteorological con- ditions, says Dr. Alexander McAdie, head of Blue Hill Meteorological ob- servatory, Harvard University, These are sleet, glaze and sub- cooled fog. The last he says, is the most dangerous. Sub-cooling means that the tiny vapor particles are actually' slightly colder than the freezing point, al- though still water. This condition oc- curs when the air virtually is free from dust and other particles, upon which the droplets might solidify, Water expands when it freezes, and the minute particles of fog instead | of freezing, tend to spread more thin. ly through the air, until they. come in contact with some other surface. Immediately upon such contact, as the surfaces of aircraft, they solidify directly into a layer of ice. In this case, the temperature of the droplets is decidedly lower than that of the surface upon which they freeze. Dr. McAdie says the best way to escape from ~ sub-cooled fog is to watch thermometers closely and seek levels either lower or upper, at which . | temperatures are higher, When fibers .of sweaters and the hairs of fur-coats become covered with hoar-frost, it is a sure sign of sub-cooled water. Glaze, which he says formerly er- roneously was called sleet, occurs when rain drops near freezing tem- peratures fall upon a surface which 18 much colder. duction.
