LIGHT DAWNING ON MEXICO.
DR.. L, s. Rowe Says That Spirit of Democracy
Is Everywhere Evident in Republic.

DR. L. s. Rowe, of the University OF Pennsyl-
vania chairman OF the American delegation TO the
recent Pan-American Congress, arrived yesterday
on the steamer Mexico from Vera Cruz after 8.
tour through Mexico. during which he made a
study Of the political organization of the country
and the present political situation.
THE agitation and political unrest throughout
Mexico" said Dr. Rowe, far from being an indi-
cation Of approaching revolution. Is in reality q
sign Of real political progress. For the first time
in the history OF the country one OF the highest
elective ofices-that of Vice e-PresIdent-is being
made the subject Of public discussion. This awak-
ening of the people to a sense Of civic obligation
and to an appreciation OF their political power far
from being indication OF a reveision to the
troublous times that preceded the presidency OF
General Diaz, is the best guarantee that the Mex-
can people are now being rapidly prepared for
the maintenance OF stable government on a far
more democratic basis than has hitherto pos
sibe.
.'rhe advancing age of President Diaz has
aroused the country 10 the necessity of prepar-
ing for a time when he will be compelled 10 re-
linauIsh the reins Of government.
'.In spite of the almost unlimited power that he
mind this necessity Of preparing the country for
more vigorous democratic life. The great effort
that Is being made educate the masses the grad
ual elimination OF the old abuses inherited from
the pe1iod of serfdom and the nsIstent inculca-
ton of a respect for person and property through
out the Republic have all had this end In view. II
"a IN the light of these great purposes that the rule
Of President Diaz must be interpreted"
