MADERO AND SUAREZ HAD
SIMILAR CHARACTER
ISTlCS.

Francisco l. Madero and Jose
Pine Suarez, the president and
vice president of Mexico, who
were shot to death after being
deposed, were largely similar in
traits of character and capabili-
ties. Madero. whose life story
has been previously we'll outlin-
ed. was born Oct. 4, 1878. He
was a member of an enormously
wealthy family and received a
splendid education.
He was a dreamer and devel-
oped big theories about the vel
fare of his oppressed country
men. He dared to rise against
DiaZ. and at first many thought
him insane. In the end he con-
/. quered the dictator and became
president. His rule lasted two
. years and was. as is seen in the
present disturbances, unpopular.
. Jose Maria Pine Suarez was
. barely thirty-five years old and
: had never been heard of in pub
. lie until the outbreak of the Ma
: dero revolt, save as a lawyer in
. Merida, Yucatan, where he had
! carried on a small practice. He
: was over six feet tall, but of
slight figure When he got an
: inkling of Madero's intentions to
! lead a revolution against Por-
: firio DiaZ he issued a small pa
!. per, or circular. in which he
I came out strongly for reform"
! 1t did not take long for Presi-
I dent Diaz's soldiers to trace the
I sheet to SuareZ. and in 1909 he
/ fed to San Antonio and later got
into personal touch with Made
I 70. They became fast friends at
+ their first meeting.
/. During the hardest battles of
the Madero revolution Suarez
!. was constantly in touch with the
!. unfortunate leader. AS soon as
!. DiaZ resigned Madero brought
!. pressure to bear which resulted
I. in Suarez being elected governor
/ of Yucatan. from which office he
{. was elevated to the vice presi-
/ dency. During his short term
I as governor of Yucatan he be
I came very popular among all

STUDY of the Mexican people

A STUDY of the Mexican people
~ falls naturally into three divi
- sions, for the population con
sists of people of purely Span
ish descent, of mestizos, or half breeds
of Spanish and Indian blood and of
pure blooded Indians. Out of Mexico's
100000 inhabitants one-half may be
roughly estimated to be mestizos AL
though the census figures of 1900 have
about one-fifth, or 100000, of purely
white descent, it is likely that not more
than a tenth come under this head,
since Indian blood permeates all
classes. At the same time special diff
fculties are met in attempting to draw
a dividing line between Indian and
mestiZo. Bryce chooses to estimate
the number of Indians at 100000 and
the mestizos at 100000. Included in
Mexico's population is a foreign eIe-
ment numbering about $4,000 people.
The number of Americans in Mexico be-
fore the revolutionary troubles of the
last year or two was estimated at, al
most 10000.

Spanish Oppression.

When the Spaniards arrived in Next
co they found a large sedentary pOpu
lation of natives cultivating the soil
and trained to industry. These the
conquerors turned into serfs, who were
compelled to perform the arduous and
to them most distasteful work of min
ing. Agriculture, too, was left to the
Indians, for the warm climate made
field labor, or any kind of manual la
Dor, for that matter, most distasteful to
the white men. The pure white popu-
lation increased hardly at all, because
few new settlers came, but the Span
iards mixed with the natives, with the
result that after several genera tons
there was a considerable half breed
population, even though some of the
tribes, notably those in the state of
Oaxaca, have remained to this day dis
tinct from the white race and from
each other.
And it is this branch of the Mexican
people, along with the pure blooded de
scendants of some fifty aboriginal
Indian tribes, that constitutes for the
main part Mexico's problem in gov
eminent. 1t is not a race problem in
the sense of their being a color line

Mestizos Imposed Upon.

The Indians and mestizos, for the
most part poor and ignorant, are little
more than the raw material for citi-
zens, and the upper class Mexicans
use them for their own selfish pur-
poses both in politics and business.
The great weakness of Mexico's so
cial system lies in the fact that there
are but two classes, an upper and
lower, the former extremely limited in
number A middle class, such as
forms the great bulk of intelligent cit
liens in this country and in Europe,
tends but slowly to appear.
Upper class Mexicans are for the
most part men of property. Their
wealth, education and social position
enable them to WELD enormous power
over the great laboring class of mesti-
EOS and Indians. whose work in the
fields and mines makes possible the
existence and continuance of the ma
tional industries. These poems at the
present time are not far removed from
serfdom, for their general poverty as
a class and the land monopoly of the

Nation Is Poor.
Despite her great agricultural and
mineral wealth, Mexico is poor coun
try in that her resources have been
developed in such a manner as to
bring little or no wealth to the great
mass of inhabitants. The extensive
scientific development OF mines and
plantations has been for the most part
in the hands of foreigners and foreign
companies.
The lure of silver and gold ever
since the days of COrtes has been more
of a curse than a blessing to Mexico.
Agriculture must be the foundation OF
the greatness in the long run OF any
country, and, in view of the remarka
BILE variations Of climatic zones and
| the great wealth and variety of vege-
| tation, agriculture, not mining, should
| have been MexicO's natural mainstay.
| 1t has been estimated that If the cap
| ital expended on mining in Mexico had
| been applied to the cultivation of the
soil the country would be four times
as rich as it is at the present time.
| However this may be, none can deny
that the overemphasis on mineral pro
duction has hindered the proper de
velopment of the Mexican people.
