FROM ANARCHY TO DEsPoTIsM


Events in Mexico are showing how
true II 10 that the same old laws gov
ern human nature and the same rules
which controlled the fate OF nations
long ago have as much force today as
they had in ancient times, or in the
days OF Napoleon. The man on horse
back succeeds the chaos Of revolution.
From anarchy the pendulum swings
back 10 despotism.
Everything indicates that Mexico is
entering upon a period of absolutism
at least as rigorous as the rule OF Por-
irio Diaz. The army is 10 be greatly
enlarged. Rebels are TO be shot as
bandits when captured. No prisoners
are to cucumber the movements OF
government troops. The men in au-
thority are apparently convinced that
the only chance of peace and order
lies in terrorism and military power
That is the inevitable outcome of
the breaking down of law and order.
II Is the natural fruit OF revolution
which substitutes weak government
for strong one and leaves q country
infected with the virus of plotting and
revolt. as a means ~ undoinc The re-
suit of elections ana subordinating The

servation. Nothing is so hopeless
from every point Of view. as anarchy
nothing so necessary as order.
