THE INDIANS OF MEXICO.
Various Good Traits Among the
Ancient Races of the Land.

The Mexican Indian is opposed to novel
ties in customs, dress or religion. Every
| little while some one catches him worship-
| ing his ancient idols in an out-of-the-way
cave. The practice may be reprehensible,
! but it does the Indian lots Of good II
helps him maintain his connection with
the past. his own past. which was rudely
broken in upon by men IN armor. who
gave him new belief at the end of a
sharp pike, and then enslaved him for
sordid purposes. This the Indian. who
never forgets, does not let drop out Of
his recollection. Some Of the Indians
dream OF a restoration Of all things-to
the Indian scheme as il existed before
Herman Cortes went a bucaneeriuE on
land in this country. In this he makes a
mistake, for revolutions are not in the
habit Of going backward; but that the
Indian is going to be a power In the land

children TO the public schools, and lie is
himself thinking along novel lines. That
Is, the educated Indian is. He is rot
enamoTed Of Latin civilization and the
Roman law Rather would he. II he were

community in which no one should be
rich, none degraded IN AFFECT poverty
The Indian mind is said to be stubborn:
but is good, logically working mind and
takes a practical view Of things. The
white mans civilization with its palaces
and aristocratic sections, and its contrast
ing and filthy Sums is not what the edu-
Gated Indian regards as the last word"
OF human progress. He Is a leyeler and
a practical liver Of the simple life, not
doing much theorizing over social equality
in the reviews and in books. but really
preferring to see his neighbor happy and
well fed. This is why the Indian, when
let alone. is cOmmunistic There are
white men ambitious Of converting the
Indian; but the white man himself needs
the Indians mental medicine. The world
is sick with greed and monopolistic mania /
and the Indian offers practical equality. F.

Indian folk. They won't succeed in this /
