The killing OF Madero and Suares.
formor President and Vice President
OF Mexico. whether 1t was a political
assassination or an informal military
execution. or just plain murder. proves
90 the world that the men WHO over
threw the Madero government ana
seized the reins, are worse men than
Madero: more cruel. ruthless and
blood-thirsty and less fitted TO rule
q civilized country than the men they
displaced.
Madero may have not measured up
10 the standard OF statesmanship set
by the idealists but he was not a
butcher who killed. without the form
OF trial. those OF his opponents who
fen into his hands. Col. Diaz him
self Is living today through the Glenn
sncy OF Madero. Gen. Reyes. who led
an unsuccessful revolution was spares
by Madero. only To meet death in the
last uprising against the government.
When all the facts are known IL may
be established that Maderos greatest
fault was that ne was too good for his
day and generation-in Mexico.
