All young men and all good men in
Mexico suffer in these moments an
anguish indescribable, because they

come tired of MeNico's troubles and
disorders by which her neighbors are
nolested; and they know we'll that all

know tina they should extend guaran-
ties to the lives and properties OF our
iati1nals and strangers among u.s.;
they know they have duties to per-

/ Conscious are we of the natural
laws governing formation and de-

clarity of the meridian we have OBJ
served the history and careers oil
those nations that hava checked the
course Of progress; and We feel ou,
own situation and responsibilities.
We have at hand gigantic forces
and resources with which to compl!
our duties to humanity and discharge
cur debts; but we cannot comply, can
not meet the call with trouble and
disturbance. We may not modest a

world and our neiighbors little
patience, to wait a little longer with

that societies cannot work out thell

We have in Mexico now our own

and sensible practical ways, with the
political education the people are &C

We can say now that we have secured
already an immense advance in prac-

these last years of effort; and more
secure are we than ever before in the
power of an ontestable current of
