Mexican politics, as has been the cG3e

advantage of those countries. But the
obstacle in the way in Mexico is the
htent-we will not sax xenophobia, but
prejudice, politically speaking, at least
against citizens of foreign descent
v hen we see here Mexicans of foreign
extraction, who have rendered disti1-

tainted and reproached with their
alien descent, what inducement Ia !
foreigners to found a family in Mex

None at all; and thus Mexico is d..
rrAcd CT enc of the main elements of
progress.
Mexico needs new blood; she needs
the currents of immigration which

But a genuine, bona-fde immigra-

MR.. ROOSEVELT ON J. P. MORGAN
(From The Outlook

Mr. Morgan was politically opposed
to me, for we disagreed fundamentally
on many questions of vital economic
Importance. Yet whenever | was
brought in contact with him l was
struck, not only by his very great pow
er, but by his sincerity and truthful
ness. His word was absolutely good
When he made a promise he kept it;
and untruthfulness and any kind Of
meanness or smallness were alike
wholly alien to his character. More
7ver, he was a man who did an aston
ishing amount of good in ways which
he kept carefully concealed. One sucn
instance which struck me very much
came to my personal knowledge.
A certain United States senator, a
singularly upright man of single mind
cd devotion to his country, died. He
had been a long time in public life,
and, as with most honest men, this
meant that he had made no money, for
his public duties were so eXacting as
to leave him no time, even if he had
had the wish, for private money-mak-
ing At his death it was discovered
that his widow was left with literally
nothing. This fact was accidentally
brought to Mr. Morgan's notice, and
Mr. Morgan, who had no ties connect
ing him with the dead man excepting
his admiration for that dead mans
good citizenship, at once provided for
the needs of the widow, merely making
the stipulation that no one should be
informed of what he had done.
