TROUBLE IN MEXICO.

There are Indications that Mexico
may have revolution on its hands
before many weeks pass General
Reyes seem TO be the man who will
lead the uprising If II comes and there
is no telling how bloody H. may be
Some people have a wrong notion
of thes revolutions of the Latin Amer
leans. They imagine that their out
breaks are rather formal and inno-
cent affairs. Not at all They are
generally characterized with concen-
trated hate and dislike and are accom-
ranied with bloodshed. These people
take life easy in the pursuits OF peace
but they are fierce. revengeful and
cold-blooded as beligerents. 1t has
been long time since Mexico has
experienced a strong and well-sus-
tanned revolution but this one may
have carrying power In it, While
as a matter of comfy Mexico Is called
a republic yet 1t has more the char
acteristics OF an empire than OF a
free government. They assume to
elect the President and officials but
popular power is phantom matter.
They know the year before who will
be elected. The elections are held
the such conditions that 1t is easy
to guess the winners. Diaz and his
junta commanding the army are the
government and anybody making too
much noise In opposition will find
himself suddenly locked up in prison.
That is the way OF quite all the
Latin-American States. The really
liberal governments and free coun-
tries on the map are the United
States, Switzerland and Great Brit
ain. Possibly France might be added
to the list. But the political liberty
in Mexico, Bolivia. Chill, Brazil. or
the United States OF Columbia is a
delusion-sometning of dream.

BRU|N TRAPPED
School Girls Prove Their
Ability to Hunt Big
With a Trap.

Berkeley, Cal, August N.-When
Miss Charlotte Biedenbach and MISS
Elise Biedenbarh, comely daughters
of c. l.. Biedenbach, principals OF
the Mckinley grammar school OF thls
city, return from their vacation 10
this city they will bring back a big
brown bear as proof of their abil-
ity to trap and hunt. The bear is
o. large one for its species, and ex-
cept for an injured foot where II
caught in the trap set by the young
women is a perfect specimen.
Both young women are well known
here. Miss Charlotte having been a
graduate Of the university last year,
while her sister is a freshman student
of the institution this year. Both are
extremely popular and heir father Is
q well-konwn educator.
The young women are camping
rear Cisco, and learned the art of
trapping wild animals from old resi-
dents OF the mountains in the vicinity.
They placed the traps In the foothills
and each day visited them for their
spoils.
They almost tainted with surprise
when in one of the larger traps big
cinnamon bear was seen, growlinc
angrily and swapping viciously. His
foot was caught in the big trap and
the girls succeeded after the great
est effors in fasening him to a log
with a chain. but were unable to
open the big steel trap. ,.-.s., y
They were at length forced to call
for aid, and two men from a neigh
boring quarry ran to their assistance
and extricated the bear. which was
boxed up for transportation to this
city.

CIVILIZATION AND HAPPINESS.

Emile Faguet, distinguished
French essayist who occasionally
contributes syndicate articles to the
American press. raises the question
Does cilivization create happiness?
Or, to be more exact the question is
If the civilization which evidently
creates much happiness loes MT car
ry with IL so many evils that In the
last instance, 1t is doubtful whether
II does create happiness enough 10
overbalance them. NJ. Faguet says
there are men who believe shat civ
ilization increases the misfortunes
and evils OF mankind. tbs is re-
turn to the idea and doctrines OF
J.. J. Rousseau who wanted he civ
ilized portion OF humanity TO go back
tc state OF nature, which he
thought preferable to the misery that
the masses endured in Frau:e before
the great revolution. No writer OF
the Eighteenth century, not even Vol
taire himself, did so much to prepare
mems minds for revolution as Rous-
seau. He was a sophist who knew
little or nothing about the origin OF
society, but his eloquence and enthus-
iasm were overwhelming and he help
ed powerfully to pave the way for the
mighty outburst OF human passion
that laid throne and altar in the dust.
NJ. Faguet has doubts about the ul-
innate benefit Of medical science
which undoubtedly saves many peo-
pie but In doing so, he thinks,
makes all humanity weak. His reas-
oning Is ingenious II not conclusive
and runs as follows: 1T saves from
an early death human beings who
without it, born not to live, would
have died between two and five years
of. age. It enables them to live until
they are 35 or 40 and before they die
they have had chance to give birth
30 other frail beings, who in their
turn-thus after a few centuries there
will be none but sickly people on
earth. In saving the sick members
OF humanity medical science makes
all humanity sick. Medical science is
the poisoner of mankind, although 1t
has the best intentions in the world.
Our doctors are really devils, You
may say TO them "You are working
toward your own destruction. By in
venting serums and spreading the
knowledge of hygienic laws you sup
press disease and consequently you
limit your own field
"And In reply they will say with a
smile: We do away with disease, but
but we don't do away with constitu-
tional weakness: nay, on the con-
trary, by preventing nature from
making its own selection by sickness
and premature death we lower the
general state of health Of humanity
And benehtlng by this increasing
constitutional weakness. our success
sors will rule more absolutely than
our predecessors or ourselves
Prom these observations 1t will
be- seen that civilization Is possibly a
retrogress toward another kind OF
barbarity. that II takes with one
hand what II gives with the other,
and neutralizes progress by steps
and for every boon gives
, new evil. thus eternally leaving us
u the same point"
All this sounds very much like
Arodox. and yet, ever since the pro-
ulGstion OF the doctrine of the sur
val of the tttest In the struggle

for existence, there have been those
who argued that any interference
with the progress of natural selection
would in the long run prove disas-
trous to humaniay. Even modern
philanthrophy has been attacked to
an extent which would probably
surprise some of our readers II they
had occasion to investigate the mat
ter. That the lifting up Of the weak
IN the long run, is an Improbable
and useless business, has been freely
asserted by hard-hearted philosophers
who have discarded the Christian
system Of morality. According to
HHenry l.. Mencken, the chief Ameri-
can expounder of Nietzsche's doc
trines. nothing is more potent, in
deed, than the fact that charity mere
ly converts the unft--who, In the
course of nature, would soon die out
and SO cease to cucumber the, earth
into parasites-who live on indefin-
itely, "a nuisance and a burden to
their betters.' Philanthrophy, con-
sidered largely, he believes to be In.
evitably a failure The opponents of
philanthropy generally argue in some
such words as these: We may help
pauper to survive by giving him
food and drink, but we cannot there
by make an efficient man OF him-we
can not rid him OF the unfitness
which made him pauper. There
are, of course, exceptions to this, as
TO other rules, but the validity OF the
rule itself, say the antiphilanthrop-
lists will not be questioned by any
cbservant man. 1t goes unquestioned
indeed by those who preach the doc
trine of charity the loudest They
know, says Mencken, 1t would be
absurd to argue that helping the un-
fit is profitable to the race and SO
they fall back, soon or late, upon the
argument that charity is ordained OF
God and that the impulse to II Is
planted in every decent man. Met
zsche flatly denies this. Charity, he
says, is a manmade idea, with which
the gods have nothing to do. Its sole
effect is to maintain the useless at
the expense of the strong. In the mass
the helped can never hope to dis
charge in full their debt to the help
,ers. The result upon the race is thus
retrogression.
The reader cannot fail to observe
that Emile Faguet's attack on the
work of medical science and the Met
sschean attack on philanthropy genr-
ally are based on the same evolu1
tionary philosophy and are both
violently opposed to the fundamen-
tai principles of Christian ethics. 1t
is a significant fact. and one that will
finally have grave economic con-
sequences, that both the Christian
rhilanthropists and the atheletlc
individuals unite in fighting the
worlds poverty, though in totally
different spirits. The individuallsts
hate the destitute and want to starve
them out of existence as social incur
sbles while the philanthropists be-
lieve they can be rehabilitated and
made self-supportlng.
