Mexico is in the throes of a
revolution. 1t is not to be de-
MED that the despotism of Diaz
is almost intolerable, but since
people have demonstrated
their inability to govern them
selves, it becomes a serious prob
lem to determine what is to be
done in case Diaz should be over
thrown. Mexico is our neighbor
and might become troublesome in
case there was not a strong hand
at the helm friendly to the United
States. AT best Diaz can live
but few years longer as he is a
very old man. The tendency of
American capitalists to exploit
every thing and everybody has
produced prejudice against
Americans in Mexico Diaz has
encouraged the exploitation of
his country by American capital.
and vast sums have been invested
in Mexico by Americans. In
case of a successful revolution or
the death of Diaz. complications
would arise giving excuse for con-
quering and annexing Mexico,
and it goes without saying that
the capitalist would urge that
course. Past experience indicates
that their influence would be suf-
ficient to dictate that coure 20
our government. 1t would then
become "benehcent assimila-
tiCn."

COUNT TOLSTOL DEAD

Count Leo Tolstoi is dead. He
was unique figure of these later
days. He was all that martyr
of the middle ages was, yet he
did not suffer martyrdom. In
Russia, that last stronghold OF
religious and political fanaticism
where men are killed for their
opinions. Tols.i lived in peace.
Born to the purple. having at
tanned military distinction in the
Crimea. possessing great wealth
from hereditary estates. he laid
aside all pomp and lived the life
of a poor peasant. His wife and
family were not asked to share
his privation, but lived in the
luxury common to their rank and
station. In a country where men
are put to death for their opin-
ions, Tolsti was excommunicated
by the church for heresy. but the
government had not the temerity
to visit on him the punishment
which any other man surely would
have suffered. That certain re-
ligious ideas amounted no mono
mania with him is perfectly ap-
parent, bdt his soncerity protected
him from the consequences in a
land where departure from estab-
lished opinion means death or
Punishment to Siberia.
That Tolstoi was sincere is not
a debatable question. He be-
lieved what he said and wrote,
but no man of norma, mind can
accept his utterance as the truth.
He was fanatic, albeit charit
able one. He was monomaniac.
but a benevolent one However
impracticable his theories. they
were all generous and benehcent.
While Tolstoi's theories are
wholly impractical and visionary.
yet because of the benehcent
spirit that permeated them. they
will have lasting effect for good
on the world. Leo Tolstoi was a
martyr who did not suffer martyr
dom.
