A Soldier of Fortune.

Porf1rio Diaz was a soldier of for
tune who fought his way. He was
born in 1880. and the old Mexican blood
in him was mixed with bit of the
Indian. He studied for the priesthood
and then decided he would take up
the law. But in the very outbreak of
the war between the United States and
Mexico he decided that he was called
to the army and enlisted. He hated
the Mexican general. Santa Anna. and
when the latter was proclaimed die
tator young Diaz left the army in dis
gust But when, in 1854. he had helped
stir up revolt against the govern
ment, he commanded a battalion in the
brief civil war that drove Santa Anna
from power. This was the beginning
OF the young mans climb to the
heights he held so long.
For his daring services in battle he
was then made a political and mill
fought violently to encompass the
downfall of Emperor Macmillan, at
one time defeating 1000 French troops
with 900 half-starved Mexicans. and
he had numerous revolutions to con-
tend with. eventually overthrowing
LerdO in 1876 and making himself die
tator Once. when he had escaped to
the United States and the Mexican gov
eminent sought to prevent him from
returning, he assumed the disguise of
stoker and. pushed through the
crowds at Vera Cruz unrecognized,
soon raising an army of 1000.
His Skill as Manipulation.
OF course. there was a constitutional
limit to the number Of years a presi-
dent could serve,-but Diaz had this
fixed. After his first term, it is true,
he had Gonzales elected president, but
this was only to give a chance to rush
through an amendment to the consti-
tuition. Then he had himself elected
again, and went on regularly afterward
till his overthrow.
Mexico advanced wonderfully in the
time Of this one man. He organized
the "rurales," one OF the most ex-
pensive police bodies Of the world. He

i remarkable series OF articles depicting
conditions IN Mexico The simple facts re-
late a tragedy the more tragic because II Is
revealed that murder was subsidized by our
Government in effect that the leaders we
supported were not patriots, but thieves;
that IN attempting TO penalze a set of pollt-
cal murderers in Mexico City we extended
our protection and assistance to q coterie of
mnrderers-f s-for-revenue-only in the provinces,
maurnudcrs. rapists incendiaries and igno-
rant pirates who have managed to destroy
ali government, to wreck industry and even
to corrupt the blood OF an entire nation
Our duty to restore peace in Mexico is
greater than ever. 1t may be that the
pacific appeals of the two Americas win
have some effect. on the other hand, the
madmen in control have been too long un-
checked to welcome interference. II will be
a miracle II out of the chaos order can be
brought without some sort of armed inter-
vention. Even for that the American peo-
pie are now prepared. They had been told
that they were helping Mexieans they know
now that sentimentality. as a substitute for
statesmanship, was running It,

have right, too. to order. Both they will

good enough to overcome their Ignorance.
All sorts OF commissions have been APP

sorts OF things that everybody knows all
about already But In this one problem the
marine where the most skilled and expert
opinion s necessary, no commission Is APP
pointed. no naval officers are asked to ex-
press an opinion. and the chief qualification
for the author Of an important bill seems to
be his ability to show that he was reared
on the pralries, that he never saw ship
and Is so unncquainted with marine condl-
tions that he cannot be accused OF prejudice.
Congress, Immediately following the repeal
Of the seamens law, should appoint COM
mission OF experts, as was done when a
revision OF our currency system became inn
peratve. That commission should be en-
powered to recommend an entire new code
OF laws to govern the marine and should

Using Smith as a Red Herring

believe that now he will even be the eandi-
date Of any responsible party. or Of any i'm
portant faction OF any party. He is to be n
Public Service Commissioner, with a good
salary to keep him satisfied, He may not be
peculiarly fitted for the job, but It is quite
certain that he is more fitted for 1t than he
is for the mayoralty.
It may be, of course, that he is unobjec-
tionabIe to the politicians. But what the
people are looking for is Mayor not
puppct who con slfgv that he was loyal to
Penrose and fair in his dealings with the
Vases, IL is no recommendation for a man
that he has no enemies among the politicians
with whom he is accustomed to associate.
man without enemies is a man without the
very qualities most needed in Mayor.
Smith is a good name with which to keep
people guessing. Beyond that--well not even

A Country of Sins and Sorrows
Let the dirt fly.

LNVEN those who have no memory of the
IL great-hearted. gray-haired old woman
who many years ago in Philadelphia
stepped to the front OF a stage to kiss a
speaker who had spoken of Russian freedom,
must have suffered as with n physical shock
from the news that Catharlne Breshkovsltaya
the "Babushka" of the Russian Revolution
has been sent to the terrible outposts of the
Arctic by the Russian authorities.
At the age OF II, this indomitable old
woman is in duress at Irkoutsk, jeaously
guarded by the authorities who have driven
her from home, have prosecuted her I'm for
elgn lands and against whom she has
brought relentless and inspired war.
The promise of freedom which Russia holds
out, the expected autonomy of Poland. the
change from bureaucracy to a humane gov.
ernment, all made contingent upon Russian
success in the field, are clouded over by this
fact That the Government acts in self-de
fense is evident; that it must act with such
cruelty, such persecutive violence, seems
doubtful to those not on the scene In the
midst of Russian defeats. In the gravest hour
OF her destiny. this outrage only recalls that
she is land Of sins as we'll as Of sorrows.
