F Fiction Of Mexican Villain
Exploded by Eugene NJ. Rhodes
Author OF Western Novels Testifies From
Experience to Charm of Our
Southern Neighbors

what I bitterly resent is that our fc-
tion holds this kindly people up to
hatred and contempt. Exception. the
sMissourian.
This mornings mail brings word that
one Of these Mexican friends is dead,
the dearest, Frank Bojarques, perhaps
the man most loved and most admired
in New Mexico; hero and pattern to
the young, boast and idol of the cow
countries; best roper. boldest rider,
longest head, best comforter, shadow
Of great rock In weary land. He
carries a very clean plume into what
ever courts may wait him; and the
world is lonelier without him.
The newspapers7 Another story,
and worse one. They want Mexi-
can WARRIOR = reason they have But
the writer's Of war editorials will not
60 to war, nor will the men who pay
for them.
The movies? Just a word. In q story
of mine, filmed and soon to be re-
leased, depicted Mexican, Anastacio
Barela, as gallant rogue, and low
able-such as he really was. Now,
without knowledge, prophecy that the
film version will either leave Anastacio
out or show him as . silly scoundrsL
This grieves me. Anastacia and I wers
/, unfxiends, and he Is dead. But fear
the worst. A Mexican with good points
is an idea too complex and startling
for ths movie mind.
This matter vexes mo. do not like
to tell derogatory lies about dead men.

The Kaiser Loses

Letters which place the Kaiser in an
extremely bad light, and which are pub
lished in America by the Harpers in
the book entitled The Kaiser VS.. Bis
marck, are now permitted to be pub
lished and sold in Germany. Accord
ing to a Paris cable to Harper &
Brothers, Berlin court has given
judgment in the action instituted by
the publishing firm of Gotta, of Stutt-
gart, against the ex-Emperor, who had
prohibited the publication of the third
volume of Bismarck's Memoirs, This
brings to an end the Kaiser's long
losing fight to suppress the publication
of his letters to Bismarck.

Veblen: Ironist
Economic Essays Tinged
With Satire
THE ENGINEERS AND THE PRICE
R1r

THE ENGINEERS AND THE PRICE
SYSTEM BY Thoist vebien. Pub
lished by b. w Hue bsch. $3.50
HE name of Thoratein Veblen is
4 likely to conjure upa formidable
vision Of man who writes pom
derous books full of recondite theories
expressed in an obscure and esoteric
style. This vision has been given wide
currency by Fl. L. Mencken in Preiu-
dices, where he describes very vividly
the succession of acute physical all
ments which overlook him when he
read Veblen's works.
1t is a pity to destroy such vigor-
Gus legend, but Veblen's present work
is neither long, nor obscure, nor badly
written. A note of satirical humor
runs through the book, and the author
must have written many of the SEN
tences with a twinkle in his eye. Pro-
fessor Veblen is by no means as inno-
cent as he seems. He will proceed
peacefully for a time, with an appar-
emily objective consideration of modern
industrial conditions. Then he will
suddenly jab the readers mental con-
sciousness with some such pungent OBJ
servation as the following:
"In any community that is organized
on the price system, with investment
and business enterprise, habitual un-
employment of the available industrial
plaIt and workmen, in whole or in
.f,4 ho s,,1; IL
condition without which tolerable con-
ditions Of life cannot be maintained
The authors main quarrel with the
present industrial system is that it is
controlled by fnancicrs, rather than by
technologists. He is inclined to ascribe
the lions share of its ineficiency to
this cause.
/ 1t is to the younger technologists
that he looks hopefully for satisfac-
tory solution of the problems of pow
erty, underproduction and business
maladministration Labor is organized
in the A. F. Of L. for bargaining, rather
than for production, and is obviously
incompetent to take over the direction
of industry. And Professor Veblen be-
ieves that financiers are not the
proper governors OF plants with whose
technical processes they are seldom
we'll acquainted. He projects scheme
for the taking over of industries by en-
gineers in conjunction with skilled
workmen, who should henceforth ad-
minister them for the common good on
principles Of scientific efficiency.
This plan sounds decidedly fantastic
and utopian, but some of the authors
criticisms of the waste and leakage in
the present organization of our pro-
ductive resources are pertinent and in
teres11ing.
New-York tribune., 1921-07-03

from Brentano'S BOOK ChaD
~ INCE the days of the Invincible
@n' Armada the English have been
IA taught to hate and fear the
Spanish. In the English novel
the Spaniard is 'the villain" cx oflicio.
Failing the Spaniard, the villain must
be man with dark complexion and
good teeth.
In this country the Mexican has
fallen heir to this race prejudice. The
Mexican in our novels is q man OF
straw: not only scoundrel, but a
stupid and feckless scoundrel, sure to
be outwitted, outfought and "foiled'
by any blond in the book. We have
kept the teeth, too. Since the Mexican,
frugal liver, has perfect teeth, such
as our own are not, we have contrived
to make these teeth a blemish and q
reproach, outward sign of black heart
The people who write this tosh know
nothing about Mexicans, Of course, and
the result-Quite apart from q sense
less insult to neighbor-is tedious
! unconvincing and dull. It is safe to
say that the average American has
more misinformation about Mexico and
the Mexicans than on any other sub
ject on earth.
Hear, now, the truth. The Mexican
has his faults, like the people in
forty-seven of our own states: but
generally speaking, he is hospitable
courteous. frugal, hardy, proud, unin.
ventive, generous, unthrifty, gay-heart-
ed, unindustrious, liberty-loving, cheer.
full, patient and brave. "pp not argu-
ing, I'm just telling you"-as the Texan
puts it. Use the Mexican we'll and he
will requite it; and he is also respon.
sive to bad treatment, very much like
yourself.
Let me present three facts, three
from thousands, verify and perpend
They may lead you to be interested II
facts. You may even hunt up more
facts. (Read the Awakening of Ma.
tion.)
1. There has never been legalizet
slavery on Mexican soil
2. In 1850 the territory of New Mex
leo voted on the question of whether
New Mexico should be a free state o.

the British Foreign Office. But he
never loses sympathy with his native
