Nc>ico n Long Way From Democracy

when two literary Englishmen be-
gin fighting each other there is al
ways a screaming comedy offered all
who will read. In the June number
of Metropolitan Bernard Shaw is pay
ing his compliments to Gilbert Chest
ertun. As both make thier living by
dressing up quite ordinary ideas in
very shocking attire. II comes just as
natural for either OF them to disrobe
the other and expose the nakedncss
so far as real thought is concerned.
Nevertheless in this article Mr..
shaw makes some very striking OBJ
servations In one place he declares,
I'VE have masses OF feeble minded
people who can no moro be left to
themselves without gross cruelty than
a newly blinded soldier from the front
can be left to negotiate the mansion
house crossings without guide"
The moment our eyes fell on this
statement we thoCght of conditions in
Mexico Mr.. Wilson'S fatal blunder
in dealing with these people lies right
here-he has assumed that they are as
fit for self government as we are our
selves. and that they will be Just as
mindful of moral obligations. Every
body familiar with the Mexican char
actor knows that this is not so, and
that the revolution in its various
stages Is but an indication of the fact
that they are still long way from
democracy. No theory of government
is as sacred as human life and II is
simply outrageous to see the present
administration wink at the constant
murder of American citizens in Mex
| leo. which goes unrebuked because of
| the failure to understand that dem
ocracy is the hest government only
| for highly civilized people. There
never will be permanent relief In Mex
| leo until n strong government Is es-
tablished. which will command re-
spect. and which will give suffrage to
| the masses Just rs rapidly as they
measure mp to the obligations of dem
ocracy, and no more so. The old Dia2
regime was severe. but II was better
suited to Mexican needs than the an
archy which by cur weak policy we
| are forcing upon these people today

After dinner Rev. c. V. king, rec
tor of the church, called for order and
introduced the various speakers.
John Wheeler spoke of the functions
Of the club. He began by telling of
how an old Methodist expressed him
self as being sorry that the miracle
of Balaam's ass was recorded, be-
cause 1t encouraged the same kind of
animals to keep on speaking down
the centuries. Then he proceeded In
vigorous fashion to tell Of the need of

The Bishops Strong Address.
Seldom in Tulsa has more vig-
orous address been heard than that OF
Bishop Theodore Payne Thurston,
which followed. The bishop was
grateful that no special topic had
been assigned him, and told of his
first sermon, which he sent back to
his best friend. his mother. After
some time she returned 1t, stating that
she had read the manuscript and the
text and gave as her opinion that any
other text would have done as well.
The talk fell naturally into three di-
visions. First. the speaker pleaded
for good fellowship In church life. He
warned against the type represented
by one man who was asked n he
knew Bill. and replied. Yes, we've
slept in the same pew the last ten
years" But as men come into the
church to be freed from the absorbing
