Pudo quizls infuir, asi como en- Ia
material, en- la transformation mo-
raj y civil de Mexico. En- esta EN-
preSa de doses pudo, tai vez, emplear
de preferential $ui dotes altisimas.
Acaso temi6 las faScinacioneS de Ia

Por hoy 10 que debe afirmarse de
modo rotnndo e ~indudable es que fue
IN patricia. Nadie amo mas que el
{ su terra. Made Sc sacrificed mas
por ella. En- Ia ninez, ella era su en-
cant0. En- Ia edad madura, su devo-

miento. Fue I'm brillante soldado de
la patria; un glorioso Representative
de IL patria; un melancolico a%usente
de Ia patria. Tuvo un dia poder in

Incl;nemonos con %profunda venera-
