THE MEXICAN DIFFICULTY

If Madero is deposed and driven out of Mexico, who for the succession? The uncertainty on this point adds to the gravity of the Mexican situation.
 When Diaz was under fire little doubt existed as to the succession if he fell. Everything indicated Made TO. He was recognized as the brains and the purse of the revolt. His only weakness lay in the fact that he was not a soldier A country so long under the domination of soldier in the eX- ecutive chair seemed to call for a sol dier to succeed him. But Madero had found fighters, and with his capacity for organization and his large money resources he won.
 But there is no such man in the anti -Madero rank today, says the Washington Star. We hear of fight CTS, but they are of only local celeb rity. Zapata is fresh from the ranks, and can barely read and write. His whole stock in trade may be found in his physical courage and his cur- ming. He has no equipment for the office of president.
 General Reyes is not mentioned now. His day was brief and ingl0ri- ous. His appeal met with practically no response, and he was taken with ease. There would not be a president in a discredited man.
 Among the politicians and the fin anciers there is no figure that looms large-large enough to stand such support as Madero did after the fall of Diaz. There are able men of civil experience in the ranks of the oppe- sition, but no commanding person ality.
 As Is easily seen, if Madero falls tho situation will be difficult in the ex- treme. Two governmental failures within twelve months will make a record even for Mexico. The unrest will be great and widespread. Every fellow for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. Only a strong man, with both civil and military qualities, could hope to cope with so many di- visions and clashing purposes. And where is he? Who for the task of cleaning up the Madero mess plus the Diaz mess? Kitchener's task in South Africa did not call for such var jed resources as would this
 From the way the Americans in Mexico are responding to the suggest ion from home to make themselves scarce it is evident that they correct ly appraise matters. Whatever be- tides, it seems certain that the coun- try is scheduled for a long period of turbulence. Once authority is over thrown among a people of warlike temper and experience, it is not easily | restored. Diaz drove with a curb and a tight rein. Madero on the box has sought to do the same thing, but both the leaders and the wheelers know that the new whip is new to his business, and they are plunging in very dangerous fashion. If Madero is knocked off the box, where is the hand that can quiet the team and send the coach along? Tucson Citi- zen.

The prevailing high cost of living
