DAVE THOMPSON AND MEXICO
What the Big Nebraska Man is Doing
Down There.
BUSY WITH RAILROAD BUILDING
Something About the Region Through

the Service it VIII
Give,

David e, Thompson, president Of the
Pan-American railroad, which runs for
some 257 miles along the coast Of lower
Mexico and then jumps over into Guate-
mala for a short distance, is in New York.
Mr.. Thompson used to be ambassador to
Brazil and later 70 Mexico. He has filled
every place on a railroad from truckman
and brakeman up. lie recalls that many
years ago, when he was a conductor, he
put off train OF which he was In charge
Walter Wellman who was riding on a
pass which Mr.. Thompson didn't think was
all right.
For the last twenty years Mr.. Thompson
has been interested In Mexico. He says
that law and order are much better estab-
lished In that country than In many parts
Of the United States, and that life Is a
great deal safer, and Instances I'm support
Of this that in proportion to the popula-
lions there is only one murder in Mexico
for every nine that are committed In this
country.
Much OF the erroneous opinion that eX-
lists in this country regarding Mexico and
ITS people 10 due to certain magazines and
newspapers" said Mr.. Thompson In a
New York Sun interview. Il have been
1 say unhesitatngly that conditions in the
country are az good as they are anywhere.
The people are different from those Of this
country and the system OF government has
to be different. Nevertheless the whole
administration IL very just and the system
is not oppressive; not even harsh, except
when necessity compels such a course.
As a matter OF fact. II you take the
cases that come up from day 70 day more
room for criticism is shown here than
there. Three months ago l was at Pales-
tine, Tex, when the negro raid took place
near there and a lot OF negroes were killed.

As the crops are now maturing, all
farm work has been suspended, and the
people are giving their time to enter

This can be called a good crop year,
and everything is plentiful, especially
fruits and vegetables.
Our meeting last Sunday was largely
attended. though it was warm and partly
cloudy The attendance was between l400

thing was left over.
The services were earnestly conducted,

and everybody worked. Therefore God

On Sunday the 2lst we will begin, our
work for souls in another field. Pray for
our success, and pray for me that God
will use me nightly in pulling down
the strongholds of satan in this com
munity.

the church was success. and that our

are engaged in this very important part
