Events in Mexico justify the hope that the fort,Ee of that country are about to undergo a decided change for the better, a change that can hardly avoid opening an era of great prosperity to it's people. After nearly a decade of disorder and up- heaval, during which time practically no progress has been made, either intellect ual, moral or material there is now a reasonable assurance that the better el- ements among the Mexican people have themselves decided to force a regeneration of their government that will again place Mexico in the category of civilized ra- tions and that will justify the hope al ways held out in the United States that Mexico would eventually end the, regime that has disheartened it's friends for so many years.
