THE TROUBLE WITH MEXICO.
ByJAnES A. EDCERTON

An American traveller familiar with
Mexican conditions recently stated
that two-thirds of the people Of our

In other words, only one-sixth of
Mextco's 100000 population are edu-

The statement makes plain the rea-

condition-for the savagery, brutality,

the soil is fertile. There are some OF
the best features of both the tropics
and the temperate zones.
In ancient times Mexico attracted
the cream of all those living on the
North American continent. While the
present territory of the United States
was covered with rowing savages the
Mexican AZtecs had a comparatively
high state of civilization.
In yet more ancient times there was
a still mightier civilization, as recent
excavations of the old ruins show
There were cities miles in extent and
