NEW SPIRIT IN MEXICO

An American physician who returned recently
from several weeks in Mexico and who by the way
found no hint of unrest there speaks OF al amaz,
ing change that has the Mexlcans OF all
classes since he there 10 years ago. 1t is the de
veopment of national consciousness.
'In the old days. he says, "a Mexican was PROUD
of his Spanish blood and proud to be called Spanlara
Now he resents the implication that he is of foreign
extraction and claims the Mayans and Aztecs as his
true forefathers.
This is undoubtedly truer genealogy than the
old for the Mexcans are far more Indian than Span
ish 1t is also hopeful sign for Mexicans and for
Mexcos neighbors If the Mexican masses are arrlv-
ing through trbulation, at true spirit of unity and
racial self-respect they may become as progressive
and enterprising as the most enlightened LatnAmer
can countries and make correspondngy better neigh

BETTER DRY ENFORCEMENT

Having waged effective warfare against the rum
traffic on the sea- the government is now following the
obvious course of carrying the into the land Boot
logging is to be assailed as smuggling has been The
whole federal enforcement machinery is being over
hauled and changes being introduced that promise
more effective action.
The most striking step is the effort to separate
dry enforcement from politics. This end is sought by
giving the Treasury Department genuine authority and
substituting 22 commissioners, controlling many
districts for the present system of state commission
ers With state lines wiped out in this activity poltl-
cal influence should be cut to a minimum.
Eliminating politics, if that can really be done,
will help immensely Greater Capitalization of author
ity will help, too. The most reassurpg factor of all
the evident determination of the government to use
more vigor than ever before With adequate support
from state and local authorities, there should be not
able victory for law and decency.

POLICE HOWLERS

- To thowlers from school examination papers may
now be added group of "howlers from the answers
given by some applicants for. jobs on the Colorado

finions of few supposedly well-known crime class
ifcations. The more striking answers follow:
arson is the act of stealing another mans wife.
"Biganay is an assault on or more members of
ones family"
Petty larceny is the act of inducing young girl
to leave her home.
Grand larceny is telling lie to Judge.
"A msdemeanor is to hit someone the head
with club or blunt Instrument
Probably the applicants who were so splendldly
misnformed these particular points don't make the

crninology before they try again. In the meantime
they certainly should receive some sort OF special
recognition for the deciousy refreshing point of view

the surplus may reach S250,0C0,000
What does it mean? Evidently that there
more money made last year in this country, despite
the waing about hard times, than anybody realized
Also hat with lower tax rates, people paying
cheerfuy and literally without holding out much
on Uncle Sam as they used to through feeling of in
justice. 1t helps too to have business better this
year, and so more cash to pay the tax.
