MEXICO,S FUTURE

On paper Mexico has IA fine constitution. Almost every Goa
ceivabic human right is safeguarded. Even in the matter Of presi-
dental elections, the people Of Mexico have more guarantees than
the people of the United States.
The trouble with the constitution of Mexico, says the New
York World, is that it worke only when man, who may call
himself president of dictator, sets it in motion. When he interferes
the constitution is a blank.
This fact explains the strange results of Sundays election.
BY the constitution there is universal suffrage; yet few voted
by the constitution Congress must determine the results; yet there
is no Congress. BY the constitution, Iuerta, the present dictator,
cannot be elected; yet a $ he is in place he may decide to hold on
indefinitely.
In the northern states of Mexico, in which are centred most
of the intelligence and wealth of the country, to say nothing OF
foreign Investments, there is IA constitutionalsm which rests upon
bayonets. 1t is everywhere admitted that it is gaining ground.
1t refuses to vote. 1t does not hesitate to fight. There is not a
true constitution on earth that is not sustained by men who fight.
Persons in the United States and Europe who cannot under
stand President Wilson policy south of the Rio Grande may find
enlightenment in the study of the conditions in the Mexican States
that are controlled by the Constituencies. In that section IIuerta
does not rule outside of his camps. When they shall have expelled
him altogether it is possible the purposes of the administration al
Washington will be clearer than they are today.

closed a deal wherein he purchased
from Assemblyman ]. w Ferguson
the SO-acre farm just south of the
home place of the latter, known as
the Hub Austin ranch. The price
paid was the neat little sum of S.
OGO. or 500 per acre. There are q
acres of irrigable land in the tract,
but it includes a neat little dwelling,
though Mr.. Wingficld stated that
this was hardly a consideration IN
the transaction.
In speaking OF the matter Mr..
Wingfield said he expected to use
one corner of the place in topping
hogs for the market. feeding them on
milk from the Churchill Creamery,
which he recently purchased.
