MEXICO AND ITS PRESIDENT.


From the St Louis Globe-Democrat.
In his approaching visit to Europe
Gen. DiaZ is taking measures to accus-
tom his country to his absence. In
the course of nature Mexico must lose
her present president permanently be-
fore many more years pass. He is
about II years of age, and his health
is understood to be much impaired.
This IS the chief reason for the vaca-
ton which he is about to take and
which may be prolonged for several
months. He has been at the head of
the state for over a quarter of a CEN
tury. for during the term in which an
other held the presidency. Diaz' infiu-
cnce was paramount, and he was vir-
tually the executive.
The office of President of Mexico
carries with it a far greater burden
than does the same posts in some
other republics. Gen. Diaz has been
the head of the state in a direct and
emphatic degree. During the early
part of his service he was forced by
circumstances to be the state himself.
1t is hazardous to say of any man
that he has been the one indispensable
parsonage in his country. This can
be said of Mexicc's president. howev-
er. with very little reservation. The
political commissions which came as
frequently in Mexico from the 20s to
the Cos of the recent century as earth
quake shocks do along the seismic
zone, ended very soon after Diaz enter
ed power. Mexico in the past fifth
of a century has had as stable and Or
derby a government as any country in
the world.
1t is well for Mexico to habituate
herself to Gen. DiaZ' absence from
control. He has obtained the con-
sent of his government to leave the
minister of foreign affairs is to act as
president. The duties of his position,
as that official recognizes, will be ar
duous. but they must be undertaken.
The wheels of government will be
kept moving along the old lines, for
Diaz' personality will be powerful at
home. even while he is on the other
side of the Atlantic. Diaz is one of the
potentates whose death or resignation
would disturb the markets of the
world Mexican securities and Mex
lean property of all sorts is held in
all countries, and the man who has
given them their chief value is the
President of the Republic Proba-
bly, the stability which General Diaz
has established in Mexico will remain
after his death as a monument to his
ability and courage, but the continu-
ance of his life and his service is
something in which the entire world
is deeply interested.

General MacArthur's proclamation to
the Filipinos. instructing them in the
rules of war, was necessary because of
the complete ignorance of the nom
combatants of the rules of civil war
fare and by the fact that these people
in Manila and elsewhere have taken
advantage of the lenient treatment
and restrictions imposed upon them
by the United States military. to give
aid and support to the rebels. General
MacArthur's proclamation, while clear
and firm. is nevertheless kindly and

that the Filipino rebels have to con-
tend with.
