For years the controversy over
gates or no gates, locks or sea level,
has been the dividing issue Of the

In the face of fear in some
quarters that the foundations on
the isihmus is not sure enough for
locks, that earth quakes or water
pressure would dislodge them, and
tina an enemy's mines or accidental
explosion might easily destroy
them, the government has begun
to build the gates. The cost will
be $4,000, 900.

required, the heaviest single pieces
will weigh al out eighteen tons.

THE TROUBLE IN MEXICO

Contempt for the national con-
stitution is responsible for the
revolutionary spirit which has
suddenly developed in many parts
of Mexico, says the Oakland
Tribune editorialy. The con-
stitution has been so often amended
suspended or aborgated by edict
of military dictator that it is not
held in popular respect and is not
regarded as having a binding force.
The executive power has nulified
or enlarged its provisions at will,
consulting the expediency of the
moment rather than the organic
law of the land. Diaz has been a
wise and enlightened ruler, but the
national constitution has been putty
in his hands. He has compelled
order, but he has not inspired
respect for the constitution, which
he has not he3itated to recas t when
eve it suited his convenience to
do so.
He once led a successful
revolution against the then exist
ing government, and has retained
his long-continous hold on power
by making the organic law the
plastic instrument of his will.
Hence the constitution is not a
bulwark against violence and
disorder. There is no confidence
in the courts as arbiters of
political disputes. Mexico has yet
to learn the lesson that peace and
order and justice in a constitutional
republic must rest on the processes
of law administered in accordance
with established principles. Every
revolution in Mexico is urged in
the name of reform; evey chieftain
that takes up arms against the
government processes to be
actuated by a desire to redress
some public wrong, to right some
popular grievance. to punish some
infraction of the constitution.
The contest that ensues is simply a
military conflict-civil war in
which all pretense of respect for the
law is disregarded. The victory is
not a vindication of the law as
laid down in the constitution, but
is the fruit of greater military
strength and kill. The constitution
is bent broken, violated and cast to
the winds in the conflict for
supremacy.
While Diaz poses as a consti-
tutional ruler, his rule has been
despotic and arbitrary; he has
preserved public order and security
often by breaking over all llmits-
tioas Of law. Hence the appeal
from his use of authority is the
sword instead of to the ballot box
and the courts.
