Mexico-Article No. A
NV Frederic ]. Haskin)


eral Madero's triumphant entry into
the Mexican capital, not the slightest
doubt existed that he would be chosen
president at the October elections. The
platform of the Progressive Constitu-
tional party promising the much
needed land taxation, election and ju-
dietary reforms became known
throughout the country. The people,
accustomed to small share in their
government, felt that a new era was
at hand. The terrific earthquake at
dawn of June 7 and the sudden &C
tivity of the volcano Colima in Jalisco
seemed to symbolic the convulsion
in government and to portend either
the destruction of the old order or a
violent future for the new.
The cientificos plainly saw that the
election would GO against them, but
nevertheless Gen. Bernardo Reyes, a
gallant fighter of the old Diaz army,
was put forward as an opposition
candidate. Madero was easily elected.
The number of votes he received is in
dispute. Henry Lane Wilson, the late
American ambassador to Mexico, has
said that the vote did not exceed
$4,000, but the constitutional junta
at Washington insists that upward OF
100000 individual votes were cast
for Madero at the polls. Pine Suarez
was elected vice-president over Senior
de la Barra.
Taking office in November, 1911,
President Madero proclaimed the
dawn of a brighter and happier day
for Mexico.
Why Madero Failed
Whether any man could immediate
ly have made good the platform
pledges of reform on which Francisco
l. Madero was elected president of
Mexico is doubtful. He failed. The
reasons were numerous. In the first
place, he had been elected as radical
hotly resolved to rid his people of the
usages of the "cientifcos," yet after
Inauguration he appointed as minister
of finance the most potent portfolio of
the cabinet, his brother, Ernesto Ma
dero, conservative.
1t was Ernesto's desire to compro-
mise the fundamental differences that
existed between his brother, with his
humanitarian aspirations for Mexico,
and the old element, whose develop
ment was primarily materialistic. The
launching of sweeping reforms was
delayed by the pleas of the minister
of finance for delay until he might
perfect negotiations for a loan, or
until certain powerful interests might
be conciliated. Rafael Hernandez, a
cousin of the president, was minister
of the interior, and he, too, acted as
a drag on the radical altruism of the
little president, until his program was
really sidetracked without having been
given a fair chance to demonstrate
itself. Preliminary agrarian legisla-
tion for the relief of the poorer classes
was passed, but the new era failed
to dawn as brightly as advertised, and
President Madero lost prestige with
many of his followers, upon whose
the "cientifcos" skillfully
played.

Refused Iron Hand" Policy

The new president repelled all sug-
gestions that he adopt the "iron hand" P"
He simply could not stand his fellow
countrymen up against a wall and
shoot them. The "cientiicos," whose
complete rout had been stayed by the
abdication of Porfrio Diaz and the
brief but vigorous presidency of De la
Barra, saw chance to regain power.
Loose administration began to deplete
the treasury Madero's relatives and
political associates were charged with
perpetuating some of the worst evils
of the Diaz regime
An alert bandit, Zapata, rejoicing
in the sobriquet of "the tiger of the
SOUTH" created reign of terror south
of Mexico city and seemed immune
from successful attack by the federal
forces. 1t is noteworthy that this
chieftain has given the Huerta gov
ernment little trouble. The army was
loyal while it was paid, but the adj
venturers who differed it and the sim
pie minded men in the ranks saw little
to admire in the president who
preached humanity, brotherhood, fair
elections and other nonmilitary moral

The Reyes Revolution

Madero found revolution on his
hands in the north, whence he had so
recently triumphantly emerged. Ber-
nardo Reyes, an idol of the old Diaz
army and whom Senor Madero had de-
feated in the presidential election
went to the United States, organized
revolution, was indicted for viola
tion of the neutrality laws, escaped
and tried to gather following for a
new revolution, but was captured and
sentenced to sixteen years in prison.
But the cientifcos never faltered in
their plotting. Gen. Pascual Orozco,
who had fought under Madero, turned
against him and with plentiful money
aid from interests sympathetic to the
cientificos, or at least hostile to Ma
dero, he began a formidable revolu-
ton. He paid his troops regularly.

couldn't go q bit further, because his
stomach was already full. Right there
the fish had stuck, the tail still sticking
out of Grandfather Frogs big mouth.
Grandfather Frog hitched this way and
hitched that way on his big green lily

tumbled off with a splash into the Smil-

again and rolled his great goggly eyes In
silent appeal to Little Joe Otter to come
to his aid
But Little Joe was laughing so that he
had to hold his sides. and he didn't I'M

was in trouble. Billy Mink and Jerry
Muskrat came along and as soon as they
saw Grandfather Frog they began to
laugh. They just laughed and laughed
and laughed until the tears came. They
rolled over and over on the bank and
kicked their heels from sheer enjoyment
1t was the funniest thing they had seen
for long, long time.

Billy Mink.
