One remarks on going to MeXicali
that very few Japanese are seen. There

of MeXicali say that Japanese are not

Mexico S Permanent Handicap.
From tn. Kansas City Star.

&MMNM E&&9
Mexico is just q semitropical country This fact j. controlling ia-
destiny. Yet few persons have given it any consideration. We think
Of the country as similar to the United States, and Of It's problems -
like our own. But its geographical situation makes its conditions
absolutely different from those Of the temperate zone.
1t is not. by accident that at this stage of the worlds progress
there is not q single stable self governing country of Importance
within the tropics. Brazil is the only apparent exception, and Brazil
is of nothing like the Importance that its extent OF territory would
seem to warrant. The trouble is that the human body doesn't operate
efficiency under priced conditions. The steady heat, particularly
II II be humid, is what We call enervaing. The people Of the tropics
are automatically slowed down. @
1t takes a certain degree of progress coupled with q certain
energy of character to make a stable, self governing. nation. The
tropics penalize their inhabitants. They deprive lhem of the energy
necessary for maintaining tolerable government under modern. com
petatiye conditions.
Most Of Mexico lips either. within or Just without the tropics;
y lrtually the entire country lies south Of latitude 80. The City of
Mexico lies south of latitude 20 This semitropcai situationis respon-
slble for much Of the backwardness that is today making Mexico a
nuisance 10 the world. We often speak assif the characteristics az
the tropics, lassitude and lack Of energy, were morai-or Immoral
qualities. They are not. The. are inevitable. They exgtwberever
men live under the adverse physical conditions resulting from the
continuous heat.
But while these qualities are not the fault of the MeAieans. they
are their misfortune. Because Of them it is the duty of the. United
States to consider seriously what must be it's attitude toward its
southern neighbef.1 Conditions being what they are, it is questionable
whether we may expect the people ever to be able to maintain u
successful government. over long periods of time. 1t is the part of
reason for this nation to be giving careful attention to the problem

work as farm laborers so that they could

next year the dry farmers who went all

laborers will clear a huge profit. VIII
Those dry farmers are an incalcuiable

OLD AND NEW WORLD LINKED
Roots Of Country's National Life Not
Exclusively Planted This Side
OF the Water.

The American Revolution was I'M
l%uestionably a great historic event by
reason of It's connection with the for
NAL institution Of a new nation. but
the roots of our national life were not
then planted. They run back to the
hrst settlements and the first chapters
and agreements, nor is the genesis Of
The nation to be found there: sharp
as are the beginnings Of our history
on this continent, no student could con
tent himself with n conception Of our
national life which took into account
only the events and conditions deter
mined by the people and soil of Amer
lea. Even in actual relations between
America and Europe there never has
been a time when the Atlantic has not
been an ebbing as we'll as q flowing
tide, and the instinct which now sends
us to the Old World in passionate nil
grinages Is a constituent part of our
national life.-H. e. Scudder.

England's Increase In eisamy.

We have reported lately many judicial
comments on the increase III bigamy.
Several judges have referred to the Of
tense as rampant" and have remarked
upon a general relaxation of public
morals. War. unhappily, intensities the
conflict between elemental nature and
civilization. According to the judicial sta
tistics for 1917-the latest available-there
were 4S5 persons tried at assizes, and quar-
ter sessions for bigamy, compared with 1870
in 1914.
1t has been pointed out that number
of women had been going through forms
OF marriage with soldiers in order to OBJ
tain separation allowances. Many OF these
bigamous alliances have been made be-
tween foolish girls and troopers who we're
thousands Of miles from their wives and
families andIwho never hoped to reach
home again. The form of marriage LIS
nearly always gone through at a register
office, where there is no need of publicity.
In other countries records are not only
kept. but used, and there are forn1alities
which make candestinc ceremonies less
easy. In the case of soldiers, 10 doubt,
reference to ther regiment would elicit in
formation about the ma who proposed
marriage. but that Is a course which moi
many women have either the courage or
the inclination to take.
