Why MexicanS Revolt.

Milwaukee Journal From the very
beginning. Mexico's internal troubles
have been caused by the fact that own
ership of all the land has been monopo-
LIKED by II very small number Of people,
the Spanish aristocratic class, ard by
pie to acquire land. The plain people
Of Mexico, those who have been and
still are struggling for ownership of
the land, are mostly descendants of the
AZtecs, TOltccs, Mistecs and their allied
races who were subjuRated by Cortez
and his SUCCESSORS. These natives are
those known IA poems, term that
originally meant "farmhands, but
which has come to mean serfs.
The strength of the poems desire to
acquire land, and the farceness Of their
determination are demonstrated by the
fact that Mexico, since she won her in
dependence in 1910. has been afflicted
with internal warfare three years ont
of every four. Always the struggle has
been for possession of the land. The
magnitude of the great landed estates
in Mexico seems utterly incredible
Two or three families virtually monop-
Ollie all the land in states AZ large as
Delaware, even in states almost as
large AZ Wisconsin,
There are several causes for the in
stability of Mexican government; ono
of these no doubt is the ignorance Of
the masses. But is it not plain that
even if these other causes did not exist
Mexico could not possibly enjoy stable
government SO long az 80 to 30 per cent
of her 10000, 900 of people were land
less and yet land hungry Under a
system which has reduced them to
serfdom, deprived them of all oppor-
tunity to improve their condition and
bercft them of all hope Of anything
better than the life of II slave, is there
any wonder that bitter discomfort exists
everywhere among these people and
breaks out in open revolt at frequent
intrrvalS2
| In revolution lies the only hope of
these people, From revolution they
have nothing to lose while they do have
everything to gain,

Oklahoma was the only one of the

compared with 81 .l01.0t2 in 1912 The
