There is nothing to be found in the
New Testament about the festival of
Easter; yet-it is the oldest of Christian
festivals, and it's observance began in
the apostolic age. To millions OF
Christians Easter is the most joyful and
important of the Christian festivals.
1t has been known for centuries as "the
happiest of days" "the bright day
of festivals" The early fathers used to
speak Of it as the feast of feats." 'the
queen of days" the desirable day OF

TT appears equally as easy for
il cities to disgorge as to absorb
the population of the rural districts,
if credit is to be given a recent report
of the department Of agriculture as
to the supply of farm labor availa-
Bile.
The department declares that it is
relatively plentiful this year at wages
from 80 to so per cent under those
of 1919 and 1920. This is especially
the case in the south. In Arkansas
the supply is reported as exceeding
the demand, while demand and sup
ply are about equal in Alabama,
Florida and Louisiana.
It was the most natural thing in
the world for the young men and
young women of the country, to seek
the cities when wages were high. It
would be a poor sort of young people
who would not respond to such lure

Several weeks ago personal observation

| lily him to speak with authority on
conditions in Mexico.
In an interview granted to Bruce
Mcclure, Mr.. Thompson declared
"Obregon will fall just as Madero
and Carranza and the others since
Diaz have fallen, and for the same
reasons" The present rulers of Mex
leo, as Mr.. Thompson points out, are
the "meztizos," or half-breeds, with
Indian blood in their veins. They are
for the most part ignorant of his
tory and of other countries and have
little culture. "In the biggest towns
outside of Mexico City itself there
are not enough privately owned books
to make a decent library for any
bookishly inclined man." says Mr..
Thompson.
With the exception of Diaz, Mex
leo has been dominated by tribal chief
tains who rose to power by violent
means and when they could not or
would not carry out their promises to
their followers were overthrown to
make room for others. The half
breeds of Mexico have proved them
selves incapable of leadership. Mr..
Thompson comedies that Diaz him
self was half-breed, but classifies
him as a genius. Diaz could not have
accomplished what he did, however,
had he not surrounded himself With
men drawn from the old Spanish aris-
tocracy. Diaz also opened Mexico
to other nations, a far-sighted policy
which aided him in developing its
rich natural resources.
Mr.. Thompson asserts that Obre-
gon has not followed in the footsteps
of Diaz. He has not chosen the best
and most capable Mexicans to aid
him in bringing order out of chaos.
He might not be able to get such
assistance if he wanted it, because
Mexicans of pure white blood who are
now in exile are afraid to return. They
know what has happened rnany times
before when half-breeds were in
power. Furthermore, the great
wealth of Mexico is temptation to
upscrupulous leaders. 1t is esti-
mated that the taxes on the oil in
dustry alone amount to S40,000,000
year. The opportunities for graft
and loot are TO great to be re-
sisted.
The principal question involved in
| Mexico's future is the supremacy OF
the white race, and that will require
help from some other country, proba-
bly, the United States. Mr.. Thomp-
sons views are in accord with those
expressed by other Investigators who
agree that there is no real stability
or advancement to be looked for as
long as half-breeds are in contro

Robert Lansing is probably getting the

Evening Post has ever paid writer; and
this journal pays more per word for ac-
cepted stuff than any publication in the
world. When it is known that it charges
5000 page for one insertion OF an ad-
vertisement. and $1,000 for the back page.
it can well afford to pay Lansing up into
the thousands for each of his articles on
the peace conference And from his book
published last Thursday he will get
neat sum, for it is now being offered for
serial publication in newspapers at a
sum which is startling to editors But
many of them will buy it.
Lansing is apt to get $4,000 or more for
