EDITORIAL PAGE
MAY" SEltVK AS A LKSSON
Many well-meaning Americans j
have been led to believe that
ail Mexico needs is the rule oi such
apostles oi liberty and true democ
racy as the former bandit, Villa,
and the former officeholder, Car
ranza, with the wholesale confisca
tlon of large estates and the di
vision of the land thus seized '
among the poor. The theory is
that the Mexicans are sound and
competent enough if given a fair
chance to show what they can do
under sympathetic and liberal rul
ers.
Such believers iu the wisdom oi
the untaught and the skill of the
untrained need the object lesson
that Mexico, governed as they de
sire or by the men they recommend
and with such a start as they w .ut
vhat unhappy country to have,
would surely furnish. It could not
take many years to prove that'
peace cannot come from the rule of
the iguorant and backward lndi..as
of Mexico or prosperity from any
system of administration which1
would make foreigners shun a
country desperately ;n need of their
money and their services. T'ie
world would soon perceive that the
roots of Mexico's ills go much dc. ;>
er than its-laws or its perversion
of laws.
Racial, climatic and topograph
ical conditions account for Jlcx ii),
in largo part. Ilablts rooted in
centuries of misgoveriuuent and in
efficiency will not be eradicated by
a change in rulers which means
nothing more than tha victory (u
one faction and the fall of another.
The leaders of the so-called Consti
tutionalists understand the situa
tion well enough to resist all plans
and reject all suggestions for pi-ai
which <lo not include the control of
the central government of Mc\ico
by their own chiefs pending the
formal election of a new president.
They know that possession, In their
country, is all of the law, instead of
only nine points out of ten.—Cleve
land Leader.

Donald Smith. tho hardy, (
bravo find resourceful scotch i
lad who began life work in the
wilds of Canada and ended his !
days, well past ninety years, very j
famous, very rich and widely known
and honored ay- Lord Strathcona
ivud .Mount Hoyal, proves to have
left an estate of about $28,u00,000. {
Jio had giveu away millions in his
This great fortune was all won
In a part oi North America which I
seemed, during most of Lord j
Sn .tLlno..a's life, too sparsely popu
lated, too little developed, too raw
and empty, to permit wealth-get
ting on so vast a scale. The size
or the Strathcona estate must strike
many readers with the same sense
oi encountering a revelation alto
gether unexpected which has been
felt by numerous Americans when
they learned oi the immense wealth
ot certain South African and South
Anient in millionaires.
The natural comparison made
with the relatively slow develop
ment ot fortunes iu the early days
oi the I uited States shows that no
such estates were piled up hero
\»heu 11.is country stood iu respect
to population, for example, where
Canada is now. The early stages
oi development in the Mississippi
valley did not make any man as
liih as the Canadian Northwest
made Donald Smith.
The txplauution is that in Lord
Stratiicona's time the resources of
: a age of steam, electricity, highly
d . c cp^d machinery, vast accumu
,tii>:!s of capital and many exam
i V- set by immense undertakings
ia o'her countries, w:c all avail
v the opening oi the newer
parts oi Canada. Tho same thing
has I pptmed in Argentina. it is
pomg on in South Africa.
