The continuing executions Of political rivals and
local legislators by President Gales and his partisans
are a rude awakening for those enthusiasts who pictur-
ed Mexico as not only well advanced toward orderly
government but by reason Of its adoption Of certain
Bolshevistic experiments even . step ahead Of benighted
America, still in the dark ages Of capitalism. The
events south Of the Rio Grande are sickening proof, IL
proof was needed, that civilization Is not to be gained
swiftly by formulate or the adoption Of alien phrases,
but must come painfully, tediously through the slow de-
v~elopment Of national character.
1t is impossible to see clearly behind the veil Of
censorship which President Gales has thrown about
these events. But it is difficult to ignore the prob
ability that these killings will come to rank among
the most Inaccessible and brutal acts in the long and
bloody story Of Mexican misrule. There is the scantiest
evidence that revolutions had been started by these
rival candidates Of obregon in the coming election.
The suspicion will not down that a short and simple
method Of eliminating dangerous competition has been
adopted. The widespread slaughter Of aids and friends
supports this view.
But even if the charges Of treason were true the
episodes would yield q gloomy estimate Of Mexican
progress. While chasing will-o,the wisps Of Soviet
Philosophy, the leaders Of Mexico have failed to learn
the very elements Of democratic rule. The parallel with
Russia is striking. When the Soviet experiment is
ended there, Russia will still be generations behind the
standards Of western Europe, in free speech, in self
rule. in education, in every item of progress that the
democratic nations of the world have endeavored to
achieve. The shortcomings OF these efforts are obvious
and persistent. All such progress is too recent to be
secure; it must be continuously supported and re-estab-
lished-or it is lost. But the contrast with the habitual
repression and confusion Of Mexico and Russia is in
contestable.
There is no shortcut along the difficult way Of
civilization. Enthusiastic reformers, with their eyes
on phrases rather than facts. do grave injury to the
cause Of true progress, BY deceiving themselves into
thinking that any Of the essential lessons Of ~seif-rule
can be learned other than by hard and bitter expert
ence.

Washington Letter

Mrs. Hoover is given q great deal
Of credit for ~populsrizing her hus-
band with the women Of the country.
She's a member of many women's
organizations. She's lent an efficient
hand in the promotion Of their ac-
tivities. She's a Girl Scout vice presi-
dent. She's done good work in get
ting out the women's vote. She be-
lieves in them in public life.
In short, she has q very large fol-
lowing.
Large numbers Of women, when
they hear Secretary Hoover spoken
Of as a republican presidential pos
sibility, think OF Mrs. Hoover and
are promptly in favor Of her hus-
band.
Rather peculiarly, most Of the
women / consulted spoke OF Secre-
tary Hoover as liberal"
i always thought he was u con-
~servative.
Men and women must define liber-
: atty and conservatism differently.

The Generosity of St. Louis

when a tornado recently devastated an area Of ap-
proximately six square miles in the city Of st. Louis
the Red Cross made q survey and estimated that q
relief fund Of half a million dollars would be necessary
Immediately. Though the damage was heavy and the
need for relief was very apparent, no effort was made
by the city to seek aid from outside sources.
The mayor Of st. Louis Immediately issued an APP
real 10 all citizens. stipulating that the relief must
come in the form Of cash. At the same time the word
was issued that st. Louis would take care Of its own
and that aid from the outside world would not be
necessary.
Four DAYS after the storm, and while the relief
agencies we're stiIl struggling with the immediate prob
lem of providing food and shelter for the 1000 families
in the striken area, the goal Of 100000 was reached,
and seven days after the storm the Red Cross had
funds amounting to 100000 on deposit. This has
since been increased to 100000. e~verytcent of which
has been subscribed by residents Of the city.
The action Of the citizenship is typical Of the big
heart OF st. Louis. The city has been faced with dis
asters before. but its self reliance has never been i'm
paired and its confidence in its unshakable destiny has
never faltered. Despite the fact that its situation has
given ST. Louis much to complain about in the matter
of weather, despite the strong competition for trade
supremacy that has been waged against it by n~eighbor-
ing cities. the metropolis Of Missouri has gone steadi-
IL forward and developed an uneonquerable spirit
worthy of designation or the first ~airplane to make
the nonstop flight from New York to Paris.
The Spirit Of 81. Louis is more than n name. It
is the embodiment Of the ideal OF a great and growing
city; the ideal Of a citizenship that can face disaster
without qualing, a citizenship that is self-sustaining
en- times Of stress and dire need. Lindbergh's feat
tvpified what the citizens of the Missouri metropolis
have exemplified in the manner in which they are deal
ing with the relief problem following the devastating
tornado.
Commenting upon the action of st. Louis. the New
York Times says: New York as the largest and most
powerful city in America, has no favorites among the
great towns with which IL exchanges business and So
ciai and political relationships. Yet ST. Louis has al
ways been one Of the namse that have meant much
10 New York. Il is with q peculiarly friendly feeling
that the people OF New York learn how calamity and
ef~fectiyely ST. Louis has gone about the business Of
reconstruction from the sudden storm which destroyed
more millions in property in a small section than
many ancient cities could have totally asssyed."

The World and All
THESE GOOD OLD DAYS
BY Charles p. Driseoll

The good old days. you will find, are these days in
which you and ! are living. There may be better times
in the future. We hope 50. But there have never been
better times in the past.
There is no limit to the number OF points in
-hich this modern time excels all times past. But let
take just one instance.
Humanitarionism is something new in this world.
Regard for the rights Of others, regardless Of
class, wealth, birth or station in. life, is somewhat OF
a novelty.
The immortal Pepys kicked his housemaid soundly
when the girl made some error. such as misplacing a
glass or breaking a cup. And Mr.. Pepys. in the good
old days of Charles the Second, did not care whether
the housmaid liked il or not when he gave her a kick
ing. His only worry was lest ne might have done it
awkwardly, and thus might have made himself a bit
ridiculous in the eyes Of some neighbor of quality who
might have been looking on.
Can you picture q respectable, wealthy householder,
holding high public office, kicking mis- housemaid to-
day? Just let him try IL oni II would be a national
scandal. The maid would be the least v~ociferous Of the
complaine,ts. The man would be ousted from office,
and considerably disgraeed before his constituents
But IL couldn't happen. Men no longer have any
desire to Xix their servants. IL is an action no sane
man would eountenance for a moment, either in him
self or IN his ~neighbOr. People have come TO regard
the rights Of h~ousemaids. along with the right OF
others, since those good old days of King Charles.
There was a time. in the days Of romance and
ehiyalry, when kings and other persons in authority
could put peasants or slaves 70 death without answer
ing any questions. The car Of Russia. in that same
glsmorous age during which Pepys lived. wanted 70
show off to a new ambassador from England. He
ordered several Of his servants to dash their brains
out on the paving stones of the courtyard. three stories
below the cars chamber. OF course the poor devils
obeyed instantly. The car didn't think il worth his
while even 70 look out Of the window to see how thor
oughly the job was done. He went right on talking.
he had shown his authority and his glory.
People were not shocked by those things in the
good old days that are 50 happily past. Now our rich
and powerful men are giving away millions Of dollars
annually to make life easy and more interesting for
victims Of malaria. hookworm or other ailments. These
rich men Of today actually support organizations that
use their energies in regulating the activities Of the
very men who support them. This is humanitarianism
The ig employer doesn't want to abuse his employees.
He respects their rights. We take II all for granted.
Yet y wasn't that way in the good old days that SO
many people sigh for,
