Why are the people moved to proceed
thus? Let us look at the interesting
phase in which we find this, people.
Let us go to the great Aztec me-
tropolis, and there we shall meet what
is simply a drunker population, one
that has only the prison for it's home
1t earns little, and one cannot go a
block without meeting a tavern, a.
pawnshop, a brothel, barracks, or one
of those centers of infection they call
hospitals" One sees men half-naked,
more than two thousand blind per-
sons who live by public charity an in
finity of churches, mothers who punch
out the eyes of their newly-born sons
to blind them and thus assure them a
future in which they will be supported
by aims. The workers declare a
strike and are murdered by orders
from the government. The factories
are closed, but the barracks are open
At the street corners one sees such
notices as this give hundred soldiers
needed for the gendarmerie," and the
workers, finding themselves without
employment, hurry to get a position
as soldier, in which they earn $3.50 a
day. The worker who is so unfortun-
ate as to fall into the clutches of the
barracks to be made a soldier. One
day | saw a sight that made my hair
stand on end-more than five hundred
men, without hats and half-naked,
were being escorted by the mounted
guard, while a great multitude of wo-
men, some old and some of them mere
children, were following the unfortun-
ate prisoners, crying aloud and weep
| ing in despair. When the crowd of
women attempted to approach their
comrades the cavalry trampled them
under foot.
I saw another picture which ] re-
call with terror. A woman, carrying
| in her arms a mere skeleton of a
child was about to enter pawnshop
and fell to the ground. I tried to
raise her, but vainly, and I was COM
PEELED to leave her lying beside the
street. Two hours later | passed by
once more and the woman was lying
in the same attitude in which l had
left her. The child about year old,
was trying to suck a corpse's breast.
Recently the government has de-
creed that natives who visit the city
must wear trousers, and to facilitate
their use has placed the price at
twenty-five cents (gold) a pair, sell
ing them at the national warehouses,
Madero is asking the American
bourgeosie for money, and is getting
it. The public debts mounts. Madero
keeps one part of the money received
and the other part he used for arms
sold to him by the Americans, who
thus get back the money lent. This
people has a thousand reasons for
making it's revolution--the most just
of all.
In the country districts the native
earns six cents (gold) day, working
increasingly and under the slave-driv-
er's whip This native has a wife and
five or seven children whom he has
to support on the six cents. This is
the reason why the revolution has
found an echo throughout the country;
this is the reason why the natives
have risen everywhere, and why they
are now seeking, not what they sought
at first-the return of their small hold

Editor Commonwealth:
The illustrated lecture delivered
The Commonwealth. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1911-1914, 1913-01-10

The Mexican peasants had been,
from colonial times, small proprietors;
that is to say, each peasant had q
piece of land which he cultivated on
his own account, living by the pro-
ceeds. Little by little the small pro-
prietors began to disappear, being alb
sorbed by the large landowners, who,
using their influence with the govern
ment, sheltered themselves under its
responsibility while despoiling the
existing owners. The native and his
family then became slaves, toiling on
the lands that formerly had been their
own, and for the profit of the usurper,
who was upheld by the governments s
bayonets. The native who rebelled
and sought the return Of his land was
assassinated or imprisoned officia-
dom siding with the landed gentry
who were relatives of the officials, or
themselves members of the govern
ment or it's supporters. Thus it came
about that in the days of the tyrant
Diaz there sprang into existence in a
shameless manner great proprietors
such as Diaz himself, l Noriega, the
Maderos and a thousand others,
whose fabulous capitals have been
sealed with the read seal of the ma
tive's blood.
1t was in vain that the natives ran
to the authorities for justice, and in
vain that certain groups rose in arms
to seize by force what the law denied
them: for they were assassinated as
bandits, the pretorian guards shooting
every man and woman who took
rebel stand. The Yaqui Indians were
the bourgeoisiGs principle victims.
They rose in arms, demanding the re-
turn of their lands, they attacked the
tyrant's hirelings, and they succeed
ed in obtaining a few triumphs. This,
however, did not last long, for they
were slain wholesale, their movement
was extinguished and many thousands
of these brave people were made pris-
oners and taken to the State of Yu-
catan There they were treated as
criminals and divided up among the
big landowners as sheep are divided,
sons being separated from their faith
ers, brothers from brothers, and all
being Obliged to toll beneath the
slavedriver's whip for the profit OF
the landed gentry
Why have these ideas of Social
Revolution taken such an increased
hold? Why are the papers at the
Capital so troubled and why are they
CRYING out that society is In danger?
