Pascual Orozco, the Fighting
Head of Mexican Revolution

I has evidently come to the conclusion

self in a relation 10 the revolution
where his ideas Will have to be con-
sidered in the event OF a successful
outcome \
He has developed rapidly IS fac
tor in Mexican revolutionary politics
and ii is the very possibility that his
development is yet incomplete that
nakes his personality particularly
interesting. lie has made his reyolu-
tion so substantial an affair that il
i, hard to believe that he, himself
will be obliterated, even though the
movement may be suppressed. He
IS a young man with an undOubtcd
ability for leadership. and with the
taste Of authority he has enjoyed it
is not likely that he will permit him
self to be retired to private life even
ii he should be persuaded to COM
promise with the government upon
political differences.
Members OF the opposition party
in the Mexican congress have started
a movement to abolish the office of
vice-president, their main object be-
ing TO abolish Pine Suarez, whom
they do not like. This opposition
includes some Of the people who
made Madero president and it is like
~ that the effort to change the con-
stitution will cause considerable
strife.
But there is another aspect OF the
case. The Office was created at the
time the New York financial inter
csts furnished money for the nation
alization of the Mexican railways,
there not havin" been previously il
vice-prcsdcncy. The idea was to
give an immediate succession at the
head OF the government in the event
the president died or was suddenly
* moved. The interests which really
created the Office have not yet been
heard from and may prove a very
effective source of support to the Ma
dcrO government in saving Pine
Suarez to the administration.
AS in some other countries the
student element of Mexico is allotted
more or less importance of political
character. Their views are publish

number will be picked the congress-
