. WORD OF ADVICE TO YOUNG
MEN.

AS has been frequently said in these
columns, Modern Mexico is not pub
Iished with the intention of upholding
the Southern Republic as a land of IN
mixed blessings, a place where big
fortunes may be made without capital,
or high salaries received without merit
and a return of hard work. Hundreds
of fortunes and thousands Of comfort
able homes have been made in Mexico
from the cultivation and sale of coffee
and fruits, and more fortunes will be
made in the next 10 years from these
products. But there are wildcat land
companies and dishonest men in Mex
leo, just as we'll as in any other coun-
try on earth, and when q poor man in
the States is told that all he needs is
money enough to get to Mexico, that
ccffse trees will average six pounds
apiece q year, and that for the five or
SIX years he will have to wait until his
trees begin bearing he can feed his
family and pay his taxes with sun
shine, he should not believe it any
more than he would such an impOs-
sible proposition offered him in the
States. Mexico is harmed, just as
every country during its development,
by boomers who have no regard for
truth or the misfortunes that may be-
fall their victims. No man should give
up his situation or his farm to come to
Mexico to locate, any more than he
should go to any other country, unless
he comes with a living provided from
the start or sufficient capital to support
himself until he can count upon re
turns from his business in which he
engages. This is only common sense.
No young man with a situation in the
United States can afford to leave it to
come to Mexico without something
definite in view, unless he is specially
qualified by reason of his knowledge
of the country and it's language to
command a situation. There are open
ings in Mexico for the right young men,
but the great differences in business
and social customs. laws and language,
must be considered. A young man
with capital enough to come to Mexico
and spend a year learning the lang
uage, the ways and the people of Mex.
leo, would probably have little difficult
ty in securing employment. To the
young man who has the Mexico fever,
and who would leave a comfortable
position to come to Mexico, unprepared
for entirely new conditions, our ad-
vice is simply-don't Modern Mexico.

State Auditor Eugene Moore.
LINCOLN, Dec. Eugene Moore,
ex-auditor of state, was sentenced by
Judge Cornish today to eight years in
the penitentiary and a fine of SAG, 4l6.10
for the embezzlement of insurance fees
amounting to $4,000.
Moore was asked if he had anything
to say, and made Il talk Of over five
minutes, in which he said that he had
never intended to do wrong, but that
friends to whom he had entrusted
money had failed him when it was
needed, which was the reason for the
shortage.
Judge Cornish, in passing sentence
said that the case was an aggravated
one, and that the plea of the defendant
had been one of guilty. In some local.
tiles corruption had become so common
in city, and also in state affairs, that
there was great demand from the PEG
pie that justice be melted out. He then
pronounced sentence of ~ years.
Mrs. Moore, who had gone to the side
of the now weeping defendant, made
