Mexico state that an army OF some
forty or fifty thousand men is quar-
tered In close proximity to the capital.
Why has this force not been used 70

The revolutionists claim that # Is

overawing the discontinued in the
capital itself. and there seems to be
some ground for that belief.
One thing is reasonably certain.
That is. unless the Diaz government
makes in the near future some rapid
progress toward the restoration OF
peace. and the establishment Of settled
conditions. the American soldiers now
camping along the Rio Grande will be
called upon to do the work.

MILWAUKEE ELECTION.

After gaining a sweeping victory in

majorities. In Milwaukee. socialism
is simply a name for public discon-
tent with the old parties. Most OF the
voters who supported Victor Berger.
do not know anything about the
theories of Carl Marx. Most OF them
are not scientific socialists. and the
propositions advanced by Berger him
self are not OF the MARKHAM type. They
are as a rule progressive measures
aimed to secure better municipal gov.
ernment and more equitable condi-
tons among the people. but do not
approach the creation of the social
istic state which Marx advocates.
The defeat Of the Milwaukee social.
lists. therefore. may be regarded sim
ply as a setback for a non-partisan
government movement. In Milwaukee

affairs are concerned. Democrats. Re
publicans. Prohibitionists and Social
lists are all in a common hodge-podgc.
Out OF this conflict it is pretty hard to
draw anything that indicates more
than discomfort over local conditions
and a desire for a change.
