Mexican Conditions Reviewed
Americans in Mexico Do Not HaUe Confidence
IN Gales or de la Huerta, One of Whom
Probably Will Succeed Obregon If He
Keeps One 7 ern1 Promise.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 2.--Gen-
eral Alvaro Obregon--El Senior Presi-
dente-says he will not be a candi-
date for re election.
Il don't know why any one should
want to be president" he says. Il
am ranchman and not politician.
At the end of my four years / am
going back to my ranch. .
He is committed to this policy. He
was elected on that pledge. His party
is committed to it. On every docu-
ment issued by the government-even
my permit to carry fire arms bore it
lis this phrase:
"Sufragio efectlvo-no election"
Or as we might phrase it: "A free
ballot and a single term.
Gales or de la Huerta Next?
1t can hardly be doubted that he is
committed, likewise, by a promise
either to Elias Gales or Adolfo de la
Huerta, associates in his cabinet and
his two most prominent supporters
for the presidency. One or the other
has no doubt been slated to succeed
him. Therein lies the political danger
to Mexico, in the belief of the Grim
oges in Mexico TO say that Gales
and de la Huerta do not possess the
confidence of the American resident
in Mexico is to state an undeniable
fact in the tenderest and milkiest
terms. They fear another overturn
politically If either one of them comes
to power. Yet 1t seems unlikely that
Obregon will violate his pledge.
To comprehend what Obregon has
done for Mexico during his two years
in office one must turn back to Diaz s
time. For so years Mexico had been
free but turbulent when Diaz came
to power. Revolution had succeeded
revolution. Bandits flourished every
where. Country bonuses were forti-
fled and the hacendadoes only trav-
elled when surrounded by troop of
armed servants. 1t was a lively,
colorful, and dangerous country. No
real progress was being made. Then
Porfirio Diaz fought his way up to
power, and for 80 years he held on.
Turned Bandits Into Rurales
He beat the sword into a pruning
hook, so TO speak by turning bandits
into rurales. Those who did not turn
he shot His hand was heavy as only
the hand of dictator in a Latin
American country can be. For the
last ten years of his rule-and for lit
tie more than those ten years-Mex-
leo was at peace because he had
rooted out and killed all the oldtimers
who gave trouble. No one knows
how many men Diaz ordered shot.
He must have signed with his own
hand thousands of death warrants,
not to speak of the lesser warrants
that were signed by lesser men.
Mexico prospered immensely under
his rule. New mines were opened
everywhere and old ones extended.

herself with pedometer which at the end of the

Now dancing is attended by the expenditure of

Now this young would have been worn out

We do not know of any lesson to be drawn from

MANNERS

a NAN may lead a blameless life,
= Yet if he eats things with his knife
He will not very often be
Received in good society;
His breast may hold a heart of gold
But when bystanders view him
INCEST his food in fashion crude,
They slip the kbosh to him.
A MAN may be one of the group
n That makes strange noises slipping soup,
And still be noble. kind and good
But let this fact be understood
Folks may not sur his character
Nor doubt his virtues inner
But they won't beg that kind of Egg
To come around to dinner.
MO NATTER if man woman
Show splendid traits quite superhuman
If they lack ease and social grace
They won't be asked out any place.
Our virtues hide deep down inside,
Not plain TO casual scanners
But manners show-snd since that's so
The wise guys watch their manners.

FACTS GIVEN ABOUT
FIRST HORSE IN U. S.

In the American Indian Magazine
Clark Wissler gives some interesting
facts about the first appearance of
horses in Western America. That an
lmai came over with the early Span
iards. Mr. Wissler states that many
of Coronado's horses escaped around
1910 while he was making his great
expeditions; also that De Soto's fol-
lowers abandoned their horses when
they took to the boats and assembled
the Mississippi river in 1541. Cortz
brought horses to Mexico 20 years be-
fore any came into what is now the
United States. The first French horse
came over in 1647, the first English
horses reached New England in 1929.
In Virginia wild horses were rather
nuisance in 1869. When LaSalle
went down the Mississippi in 1851 he
met Indians riding horses where St.
Louis now stands. BY this time, tho
author thinks, all the tribes south of
the lower Mississippi river had be-
