 capacious way Of the vampire trusts To prevent this deplOrable state of af- ! fairs, the interests place an ambitious
 man at the head of a revolution. Bar
 ring unlocked for events such as in
 tervention, he becomes president anc 1 the people stick in the mire
 Then there are those avariciOus in- i dividuals who think that because they | are governors or generals they needs ! must be -'president'' and millionaire al i once. They arouse the inflamatOry 1 mind of the peOn and behold! revo- i lution. For what purpose For the ! satisfaction of one mans ambition. l And amid this general chaos are i those few misguided patriots who have an inkling of the needed reforms, but
 who fanaticaly misapply them. There is Zapata who apportions among the i poor of the district the great estates i which he siezes. Undoubtedly the agrarian question is pressing one, but he has gone at it hammer and tongs from the wrong end of the prOpOsi- tion. He had better leave it for abler brains than his own The people must be taught hoy to take care of the land before they get it. They must be
 
 zens before they are fit to enter the temple of democracy.
 Here is the whole affair in nut she'll The Mexican people are within that age-old shell of ignorance and su- perstition. The shell must be broken away before the real goal of self-goV- ernment can be attained. Numbered with the opposers of this beneficial nut-cracking is the church. Even though the church has been repressed for the past half century, it still must be reckoned with. It controls con siderable percentage of the votes, and if il Were able, the people would be held in the slough of ignoranc forever. Popular illietracY is absolutely neces- sary for the prosperity and power of the church.
 Apply this remedy: Shelve the Mon roe Doctrine as having outliVed it's usefulness. No longer can We afford to assume the responsibility of keeping in order single handed our fiery-tem- pered little brother of the south. Call in the European powers: France. Ger many and England. Ask each to CO operate with this country in carrying out the following plan. Let each ma ton send to MtNlCO on q ttTIdln uStlt it's portion of the troops required to pacify the country. Upon the restOra- tion of order. let those nations send statesmen to instruct the patriotic Mex ican leaders in the correction of social and political evils. These leaders will in turn teach their countrymen. At the expiration of a year from the time of complete pacification the foreign troops will gradually be withdrawn.
 Lifting Mexico from the mire will be a long and tiresome job. but abso- lutely essential if Mexico is ever to be one of the self governing nations. The powers named must aid the United States for should we attempt the up lifting alone, the Mexicans would be lieve that we intended to take away their liberty. They would unite against us. involving us in a long, bloody, eX- pensive war.
 In the above statements and propo- sitions I believe that l am right in the main. for my sources of information are reliable. With existing conditions in Mexico, conditions which will con- tinue to exist until remedied, I believe that the education of the common peo- pie is the only means of giving to struggling Mexico q free and progress sive government of the people. for the people and by the people.
