EDITORIAL PAGE
FELIX 1H-YZ A KA1IA UK
Admirers of Felix Diaz are very
few in the Mexican capital. The en
emies of his revolution, o£ coarse,
execrate him, but he finds as much
criticism among his fov.uer sup
porters as he does iruong those
who have always opposed htm.
"JLack of nerve and ability" is
the charge generally brougut against
him. So man in Mexico has had
more opportunities to make some
thing of himself and to take a
hand in the destiuos of Mexico
than Felix Diaz for, eve i though
ha was only the nephaw of old
President Diaz, the president felt
even more kindly to Fells than he
did to his own son, who was thor
oughly incapable of assuming res
ponsibility of any sort. tried to
make him a statesman," they say
eld Porfirio remarked of Felix,
'"and he wasn't big enough for it.
T tried to make him a fi'iancier, and
gave him every chance iu the world,
but he couldn't rise to the oppor
tunity. I tried to make him a sol
dier, but he failed. Then 1 gave
him the little job of being chief of
police of Mexico City and he was
happy."
Felix Diaz's seizure of Vera Cruz,
before the downfall of Madero, is
a story that is full of instances of
his inability to make the most oi'
opportunities, la the customs house,
when Felix Diaz gained ccntrol of
the town, was the sum
Diaz never learned it was there
until after he had been captured
by Madero aud his revolution had
failed. "Fool!" cried eld Porfirio
Diaz, in Paris, when he heard of
this incident. "Felix wis always
ready to steal from the poor, but
ho wouldn't take money from n
government he was trying to over
throw.'*
There were 10,000 rifles stored
i:i Vera Cruz which Felix Diaz might
have seized, but, with his usual
superficiality, lie didn't know of
their presence in the town until it
was too late and he vns in need
of rifles and ammunition at that
moment. From a military standpoint
Diaz also made a characteristic and j
filial mistake when, af er seizing
Vera Cruz, lie did not rend out
scoutiug parties to cut the rail
road lines between the capital and
his seaport stronghold. Over these
lines, within a few hours after his
revolution, troops wera rushed to
overthrow him, and Felix Diaz
wound up in jail, with a death sen
tence hanging over his head.
Mexicans, like ail otner folks,
tiie world over, love a winner. But
they have seen Felix Diaz fail in
everything lie undertook and they
were not surprised to see Huerta,
after Madero had been overthrown,
seize the presidency and send the
weak Felix away on a foreign mis
sion. Almost everything is fair in
war and Mexican politics, but there
are thousands of former supporters
ci Felix Diaz who have never been
able to forgot that, after Madero
had saved Diaz's life, Diaz turned
about and assisted in taking the
life of Madero. Among all classes
in Mexico, except for a few poli
ticians who might profit by his suc
c> the opinion is general that al
most any candidate for the presi
dency who might be selected from
preset:t Mc-xican leaders would be
more officient than Felix Diaz.
Deep Rooted Discontent of
Country Dae to People
Not Having Found
Their Jobs
By WINSTON CHURCHILL Author
THE hell in which so many person? arc suf'erinc is the fact that they
sre going through the world WITHOUT REALIZING THEM
SELVES, WITHOUT HAVING "FOUND THE II? JOB."
They have developed nothing—no significance, no personality. They
have no philosophy on which to lean, not to mention a religion. This
leads to DEEP HOOTED DISCONTENT, A FKVKKIS1I DESPAIR,
of which examples are not lacking in all w; !ks of life, from the woman
of leisure who rushes to the bridge table to iho working irirl who seeks
the public dance hall. Only there i> more oncum- for the working girl.
She lives in a civilization which denies her the outlet of a natural crav
ing—which fails to provide her with interesting and healthful amuse
ments.

ONE OF THE MOST HOPEFUL SIGNS OF THIS AGE IS THE CHANGS
WHICH IS TAKING PLACE IN UNIVERSITY LIFE. THE ATTITUDE OF
THE UNDERGRADUATE TOWARD THE SERIOUS AND VITAL PROB
LEMS OF CITY, STATE AND NATION IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
IT WAS IN MY DAY. THE UNIVERSITIES, AS MIGHT BE EXPECTED,
ARE IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE MOVEMENT OF WHICH I HAVE
8FOKEN. IN MY STATE AS WELL AS IN OTHER STATES THEY HAVE
BEEN AN INVALUABLE AID IN THE BETTERMENT OF POLITICAL
CONDITIONS. EVERY DAY THEY ARE TENDING MORE AND MORE TO
BECOME THE CENTERS OF TRANSFORMATION.

Hot and Heavy.
Mr. Kellogg was always teasing his
wire. It was strange that she did not
oftener suspect the pitfalls he prepared
for her. This time lie came home to
dinner and said gravely, "Young
White's wife gave it to him hot and
heavy this morning!"
The Whites had been married but a
few months, and Mrs. Kellogg prompt
ly scented a scandal.
