Mexico Tbe New Quiet Zone

Mexico Tho New Quiet Zone | Something is wrong with gMsxico. She changed presidents the other dayawithout the aid of sharpshooters, undertakers or the Red Cross.
 When Plutarco Elias Gales was sworn in to succeed Obregon the inaugural was the dullest within the memory of the oldest Mexican presidential pallbearer.
 President Obregon had held the office for four years. That is three years and eleven months better than par for the Mexican course.
 It was the first time in many years that one president turned over his job to another president without any shooting on either side.
 The new president and his entire cabinet got from their hacks to their desks without casualty. Nothing was thrown but confetti It was enough to break an oldtime Mexican politicians heart!
 Twas not ever thus. It has been the GUS tom in Mexico for president to spend half of term on horseback and the other half on a stretcher. The Mexicans were always shoot ing at president already in office or at one trying to force an entrance.
 Mexico believed in government by barrage. A rulers term of office was supposed to last only from the time he fought his way into the capitol until some artileryman scored direct hit.
 The swearing in used to consist only of his nearest rival handing the president-elect road map and saying, "Senor, l crown thee ruler of Mexico and give thee head start of four blocks. You may begin running!"
 Several factors contributed to the great change. First of all the Mexicans began to run out of horses. Secondly, General Obre gon, as soon as he took office, took steps to keep the people busy. He distributed cross word puzzles to every resident of fighting age!!
 Then the organized labor movement struck Mexico. The new president is labor can didate.
 The revolutinists have long been dissatis- fled with working conditions. They want regular hours. Under a labor government they will get only eight-hour fights, double pay for night battles and Saturday. afternoons off. And no man will be eligible as revolu-, tionist who has not served six years at an apprenticeship in union army!
