history Of the republic that the pro-
tocol has been changed to permit the
head Of the state to pay such IN off,
cial honor to q citizen.

Mexican Rebellion

The Mexican revolt Is a serious blow to the hopes
and plans of liberal leaders in that country for
peaceful and permanent transition from military to
popular government. 1t is disappointment to the
friends of Mexico in the United States and elsewhere
who dared believe that the southern republic was
emerging from the vicious circle of personal revo-
lutions
Former President Gales has failed, apparently in
his heroic and unsesh efforts to lead his land to-
ward the peace and prosperity of civilian government
Last September ne renounced another presidential
term which within his grasp with the admonition
that the time had for Mexico to stop relying
strong men" and begin relying on herself.
With Ohregon assassinated and Gales in retirement
the civilian Gil took Office as provisional president for
one year pending general elections. That transfer of
power peaceful and the world reoiced with Mexico

But the old method of attaining power by bullets
instead of ballots has been resorted to again Half
dozen generals in many states are leading the
volt. which SO far is distinctly military rebellion
rather than revolution of he people.
Though some of the rebel generals are reported
trying to take advantage of the Catholic opposition to
the laws and constitutional provisions regulating
churches and clergy this does not appear to be
called religious revolution.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the Mexican
situation may be, and whatever the outcome of this
latest revolution it has increased the probability of
disguised open dictatorship the method of gov
ernment in that country for another decade, and it
has postponed the economic and financial reconstruc-
ton so sorely needed.
Under the circumstances Mex 20 is fortunate III
being able to fall back upon leader of the proved
ability and unselfshness of Gales, who has been
moned out of retirement by Gil to command the fed
eraI armies and restore order.
tunate that there is today Morrow rather than
Sheffield in the American embassy in Mexico City,
Within the last year the United States has demon
strated its friendship for the Mexican government
There is every to believe that this enlight
ened policy will be continued in Mexcos hour of need
That in itself will do much to discourage the Mexi-
can counter-revoutions, who too often in the past
have received financial aid from American business
interests and moral aid from American officials.

others.
But during the nineteenth century, physicists con-
sidered that there fundamental difference be-
tween matter and electricity
Matter of the ordinary sort was called ponderable
matter, that is, matter which possessed mass or
weight
Electricity considered sort of imponderable
matter, matter which lacked mass or weight.
Newtons law of gravitation accepted as the
explanation for the phenomena of ponderabe matter,
while Coulomb's law accepted as the explanation
Of electrical phenomena.
Two things are worth pointing out at this stage,
things which made it inevitable that day the
ory like Enstein's new theory of gravitation would
have to be evolved.
One was the obvious similarity between gravita-
tional and electrical phenomena insofar as both
obeyed the law of inverse squares that is decreasing
in proportion to the square of the distance

sets of laws there satisfactory explanation of

States or by any state on account

article by appropriate legislation"
1t is interesting, and perhaps a
little ironic, to note that the first
citizen to be tried under the Jones
bill is Negro. A Negro must face
the possibility of five years in jail
because he is accused of violating
the eighteenth amendment.
If convicted, the court will en-
deavor to show him that the Con-
stitution of the United States means
precisely what it says and must be
enforced.
And yet, even if he does serve five
years in jail, ruminating all the
while, wonder if he will not have
the right when he gets out to re-
main trifle puzzled.
And wonder if President Hoover
had each and every constitutional
provision in mind when he said III

system of self-government will

laws they will enforce or citizens
elect what laws they will support"

Laws and Laws

"Our whole system of self-goyernment will crumble
either if officials elect what laws they will enforce
citizens elect what laws they will support" President
Hoover remarked during his inaugural address He was
discussing prohibition.
1.-THE worst evil disregard for law is that it
destroys respect for all law he added.
Hoover might have gone to say that the surest
way to increase the disrespect for law among citizens
is to permit awless officers to trample their rights
constitutional prohibition but in doing they violate
the constitutional guarantees against unWarranted
search and seizure and other private rights. They
"dsregard" one law in their zeal for another.
Activities of prohibition officers in Baltimore re-
Gently provide an example. They have, according to
places suspected of selling liquor, without warrant,
when they have unable to get evidence which
to base warrants,
Having entered Illegally, they have laid to with
axes and smashed the furnishings, wholly without

thoroughly they have wrecked several places.
1t is small wonder that citizen of Baltimore wit
Messing these episodes would be inclined to disrespect
law. The people of Maryland do not want prohibition
but they have since the beginning been extremely jea
Gus of their private rights-rights just legal and
constitutional as prohibton-and they always have
tried to defend them.
Hoover is appealing to the public to support law
His appeal will be all the more effective if federal
agents themselves are made to do likewise

WHY doesn't it crumble? Again
w and again the assertion has
been made by various public men
that civilization will crumble unless
there is complete and literal en-
forcement of ali the laws.
But Hoover is man of scientific
training and when he makes such
an assertion, he should back it up
with competent evidence.
There is no lack of laboratory
data. The question need not rest
upon mere matter of opinion.
Specifically the congress is making
at the present time no effort what
soever to enforce the provisions of
the fifteenth amendment.
To some extent, the disfranchise-
ment of the Negro in the South has
been accomplished by tricky legal
iSms, but Hoover is man of too
broad mind to deny that at the
very least the spirit Of the Consti-
tuition has been violated
do not expect to find Hoover
asking congress to force the south
against its will. I do not even want
to see him take any such action.
And, by coincidence. he will do no
such thing.
But this poor columnist is at
least logical, where the great Scien-
tiSt and humanitarian who sits in
the White House sits out on limb
with no friendly branch of reason
which he can grasp for support.

The Way Clear

With the passage of two laws asked by the special
attorneys for the city, the way should be cleared
for the speedy taking over of the gas plant in behalf
Of the citizens
The trustees of the company its directors and the
city agreed that the plant belongs to
the city as a whole.
Under the farsighted and public-sprited contract
and franchise the city the right to take the
plant by paying the original purchase price of the
stock.
Due to the great growth of the city and wise man
agement Of the company, the utility is worth many
more millions than it was when the franchise was
granted.
In the meantime the investors in the stock have
received high rate Of interest to compensate them
for any speculative increases in value.
With apparent agreement as to the right and
justice Of the situation there remains only the in
evtable contest with the few who have specuated
the off chance that court may interfere and pre-
vent the people from obtaining what belongs to them
They gambled the general theory that the people
always lose and that courts jealous of vested interests
and private property will find undotted or
crossed in the proceedings that will permit them
to reap huge profits from their gamble.
If there is to be legal battle the sooner it begins
the better The rights of the people should be asserted
promptly and without delay.
An advertisement to the nation that this city is pro-
fuel would be the most attractive to industries seek
ing locations and to ambitious men who want
to live where opportunity beckons loudest.

AN ANrERICAN DEFEAT

March
TODAY is the anniversary of a
i disastrous naval battle of the
Revolution. 1t was fought just 152
years ago today in West Indian wa
ters, between the 64-gun Yarmouth
of the British navy and the COM
paratively puny 32-gun American
frigate Randolph, one of the thir-
teen frigates built by the continental
congress.
The battle lasted just an hour.
It came to a tragic end when a shot
from the Yarmouth exploded in the
Randolph's powder naga zine and
blew her to fragments. Only four
of the frigate's crew of 315 men
we're found alive. British casualties
were slight.
The engagement was discouraging
to the American cause, particularly
because it was only one Of a series
of crushing defeats which the Brit
ish navy was inflicting upon Ameri-
can ships.
The one cause for satisfaction at
the time was John Paul Jones ac-
complishments in British waters.
With the Ranger, the first American
ship to fly the Stars and Stripes,
Jones was circling the British isles
and winning large part of his
reputation as a Skillfui and in
trepid seaman.

Easier Way

THERE is logic in saying that if
u a community dislikes its laws it
should repeal them, but there is a
curious carelessness in human kind
which seems to make this impos-
sible.
1t is so much easier to forget a
bad law than to go to all the trouble
OF rubbing it out.
This process, which might be
termed the hip-pocket veto. GER
tainly did not originate in America.
Self-governing nations in both an
eient and modern times have con-
stantly exposed laws to the erosion
OF custom which is, and should be,
stronger than any state.
1t is inevitable that officials should
elect what laws they will enforce.
How many cases were brought under
the Sherman law during the last
administration? Would Hoover or
anybody else seriously suggest that
the Mann act should be enforced
with vigor and additional millions?
United States attorneys know bv
now that it is a ridiculous provision
and never make move except in
the most fragrant cases.
Judges, too, are, in addition to
everything else, human beings. Each
one has his pet crime which he de-
lights to honor with the imposition
of long sentences.
Even in the administration of law
there is no getting away from the
human equation and who wants to
see Televox in the seats of the
mighty passing Judgment?

Military Uprising

A S the atmosphere clears, one is
1 4 able to get something of a line
on this latest and most unexpected
upheaval.
In the first place, it is not a pop
ular uprising in any sense OF the
word but a military revolt.
Civilians have had no hand in it
1t obviously was conceived within
the army, and just as obviously has
for it's aim the establishment of ar
administration at Mexico City
which the army can control.
The secrecy with which it was
planned, the precision with which
it has moved and, above all else, the
peculiar kind of strategy it is pur-
suing, identity this revolt as borr
of gold braid and brass buttons.
Thus far, no one has called fol
rebellion, except officers of the reg
ular army, and few have rallied tc
the call, except regularly enlisted
troops.
1t quite commonly is believed that
the revolutionary leaders would re-
store the church and throttle or
ganized labor if victorious, but that
they would do this to gain popular
favor, rather than as a we'll con-
sidered policy,
