The Mexican Revolution

The recent series of crises in Mexi- co has brought that country into the limelight of information discussion in an unfavorable manner During the regime of Porfirio Diaz the country enjoyed if not peace, the quiet of mili- tary domination in the grasp of the Iron Hand" Read the story of Mexi- co.'s life and you will be impressed by the almost incessant revolts which have occurred since the time of Cortez The only truely wise and patriotic national ruler of that whole period was Juarez He improved the constitution and freed the people from the oppression of the church. Unfortunately for his country his life was cut short before he had completed his reforms.
 The harsh and oppressive admins tration of later presidents" increas sed rather than decreased the revolution ary tendencies. The Mexican peOn is of War-like ancestry He is ilIiterate and easily influenced. When he is started on his career as a reVoutionist he refuses to give up that easy. care free life of robbery and wantoness. His leaders are unable to hold him in check Result? General disorder and intending revolt
 American and Mexican business in terests also play no minor part in the plot of the revolutionary drama. Un- occasionally it is to the greatest ad vantage of these interests that the pro- letariat of Mexico remain ignorant and uneducated. With education comes that comprehension of national affairs which is apt to spell ruin for the in terests. For, is the educated com moner of Mexico to be duped so easily as the uneducated one? Will the peOn stand idly by and allow the valuable natural resources of his country to slip through his fingers into the greedy and

The Joy Rider

When l was young l had horse
 on which l went about: I played with it inside the house
 Or on the walks without. But when I larger. older grew
 I broke my horse it died Then father bought a big live horse
 So l could really ride. My horse he was a fiery steed,
 A beautiful dark bay; I fed him nice. fat sugar hemps.
 Alfalfa, oats and hay. But finally I tired of him
 And then I said to dad, My horse is not spirited.
 I want another dad" So then he bought another steed
 Like the first, on wheels it rode And this one had to sleep at night
 In poor nag's abode It is surprising how it ate
 It swept my bank book clean. Unlike my trusty mount before ! It fed on gasoline. It ruined all our pOcketbooks.
 From home we had to scOOt Now we live in a humble house
 And go about on foot

No, they didn't | make us sick. not even the first time. i We just simply decided they weren't l a paying proposition Last year was l when We tried them. We thought we ] didn't look like a real American boy | should, so We stuck cigarette in our | face to make the necessary change. For q while it seemed to work We thought We were it with a capital I. but then We discovered several things all at once. We discovered to begin with. that We were spending a lot of perfectly good money to smell perfum- ed smoke, and believe that We were in style. In the second place We dis covered that our wind was woefully short. and our muscles were growing flabby. Then we found out that it took
 us longer to get our lessons than form erly and that We didn't understand
 them even then. Finally. We noticed that our Worth-W while acquaintances and friends were eyeing us suspicious lN. To cap the climax we overheard
 q distinguished gentleman say to an
 other man that young x. was going to
 the dogs. Yes he had given promise Of being an unusually. bright young
 chap. one that would make his mark
 later on, but cigarettes were doing for
 him. Well, that hit us right where we
 lived. We did some hard thinking
 then and there, and decided that as q
 good sound investment and money
 maker, cigarette smoking didn't quite
 fill the bill We quit il dead We

 We see that baseball is proving to
 be great attraction these days. but yet our tennis courts have their occu-
 pants, We are glad of that. We don't like to see anyone sport become popular at the expense of another With over six hundred students attending. we ought to furnish good sized quota to every good. clean sport.
 We have always sheard. and we have no cause to doubt it. that it is the height of bad manners to stamp the feet on the floor in time to music This is not only an iH-bred habit but also an extremely eXtravag gant and des- tructfNe one. It wears out perfectly good sole leather and makes the boards on the auditorium floor thin and splintery. We hope that certain young gentlemen of this school will take this to heart and change their tactics. However. if your opinions and views differ from ours, come up to our office and talk it over. We are always glad to get acquainted with our pa irons.
 How do you say Merry Christmas?" Do you say it from your toes up. or just from your lips out? We hope that when the 25th comes around you will crawl out in the cold gray dawn. ten tatively insert one hand in your stock ing. find old Santas presents. and then stand up and yell Merry Christmas as though you mean it. You ought to be able to. because Christmas comes but once q year. so there you have the other three hundred and sixty-fOur days in which to practice up.
