working the Graft In Mexico

They may not have an Aldrich or a Joe
Cannon down in Mexico, but there are ey-
identity similar channels in our sister re-
public through which the government
may be made to come through z,
Alexander Powell, who knows his SUBJ
ject, describes how it is done in the Oc-
tober American Magazine. He says:
Here is the fashion in which a con-
cession obtained through the usual Glen
tifico channels, works out. Let us sup
pose that you wish to build a railroad
from Iguala, the present end of railway
communications in Guerrero, through to
the Pacific. Such a concession, it is OBJ,
vious, would serve to open up rich but
almost unknown state and would do much
to further the commercial prosperity Of
the entire region. Is it, then, promptly
granted to you on those grounds? Not
at all. You go either to Senior Casasus
or Senior Pimentel or Senior Pinada. lay
your proposition before him and retain
his services for drafting the concession
and taking 1t up with the President
Money is not even meteorological in
Mexico Is not as crude as all that. The
President is approached and the conces-
sion duly granted. Then there ensued a
long and aggravating delay in the making
out of the necessary papers You call on
Senior Casasus, or Senior Pimentel, or
senior flne0a-WHlcn ever One you NAYS
chosen to assist you-and inquire the
reason for this delay. The governor OF
the state through which your railway is
to pass, you are told, has been SO much
occupied and worried in trying to take
care of mortgage which is about to be
foreclosed on his hacienda that he, poor
man, has not been able to find time to
give attention to your matter. That is
your cue to come forward. What is the
amount of this mortgage which Is SO
troubling the governor that he cannot at
etend to my concession? you ask, Then
thousand dollars Is the answer. That is
soon settled, you reply, II you know your
business. I will pay the mortgage and
take 1t over. It need give the governor
no further concern. He will then be at
liberty, presume. to settle the formali-
ties of my concession So you pay down
the ten thousand dollars in bank notes.
no checks hereto your adviser, and
promptly the papers consumatIng your
concession are forthcoming. Later on,
the interest on the mortgage becoming
overdue, you find that the hacienda on
which you hold claim consists of an
acre or so of mountainside OF arid desert.
Later on you will get a bill from your
legal adviser for services rendered that
will stagger you, and, as though that and
the hacienda were not enough, you will
receive an intimation that II your rail
way is to run smoothly 1t would be well
to grease the rails by presenting few
blocks of stock to certain gentlemen
whose names are given you. Thus works

The Study Of Law

The study of law is long. Work hard
as he may, the lawyer will be studying
until he dies. He will be studying human
society from its crude beginnings, In Its
Industries. lis commerce, its needs, its
possibilities. its weaknesses, its great
ideals-now lapsing back, now sweeping
on-down to the present day. And the
present day is wide as the world. says
Ernest Poole, in an article entitled Amer
teas Young Men, In Success Magazine.
The young man will find much that Is
perpexing n this study of law.
And long before he has finished his
studies-which il to say, long before he
dies-he intends to go Into politics AMI
apply what he has begun to learn. And
this he will find more perplexinG still.
For the books he has read will be placed
upon shelves, and the human interests
of the day will clash and clamor around
him. At first they will seem chaotic
and blind, but year by year, IL his mind
be keen, he will discern in all these in
terests TWO main tides drawing him in
opposite ways.
On the one hand. as in his boyhood,
wealth will make its claim and offer It's
the people will make claims and offer
prizes too And though he retains his
integrity, his purpose to serve the COM
mon good, he will find that in each case
he must decide anew, for the claims gof
wealth will often appeal to him right. and
the claims of the mass of the people Will
often seem to him unwise.
And for many such decisions he win
be given little time. For since in less
than a hundred years the very warp AMI
woof Of human society has changed. ire
mendous forces now press forward de-
manding changes In the law some SO rad
ical and deep that already angry passions
rise, years of crisis loom ahead And
the man who will lead must take his
stand with Arm, quick decision in time
when popular feeling runs high, in tho
thick of election upheavals when 1t Is
hard for the mind to rule
What will be his recordf
When he has finished all his study =
which II to say when he dies-whnt
pages will he have helped to add to all
those ponderous books of law? Will ne
have worked for himself or the whole,
for the size of the fees or the good of thu
cause?
Not even this man himself can tell.
