MEXICO STILL WOBBLY
Seeing one rascal get away with
the loot affords Immeasurable en
couragement to the rascally inclined.
While Russia has not gotten away
with its bolshevik program of con
fiscation, the prospect evidently, as
presented by the propagandists to
the Mexicans, is having its effect.
The Washington Post, which by
the way is very friendly to the pres
ent administration, declares that the
state of affairs in Mexico goes from
bad to worse.
"The disguises adopted by the Ob
regon regime to cover bolshevist op
eratlous have been thrown oft in
many instances, and it Is now evi
dent that Mexico is in the hands of
individuals who are as rapacious and
as communistic as the Russian reds.
Their method of operations is the
same in some cases. Russian agents
have taught Mexican officials many
tricks of communism. The element
of honest communism, which makes
zealots of some Russians, does not
appear in Mexican bolshevism. In
Mexico communism is not so much
a political belief as it is a method
of confiscation of property for the
benefit of the confiscators.
"The United States government
has received abundant reports of the
spread of bolshevism throughout
Mexico under the Obregon regime.
Mexicans of good standing have
made confidential reports showing
the ruthless methods of depriving
owners of their properties, which are
then divided among the officials and
their friends. Haciendas, ranches,
mines, forest and grazing ranges,
factories, oil properties, and other
valuable properties are in process
of confiscation. The owners may be
Americans, Mexicans, or Ruropeans,
but the process of spoliation is the
same. There is sometimes an ap
pearance of legal procedure under
the so-called agrarian law', and
sometimes a concocted claim of dis
puted title, and sometimes a fraudu
lent strike or claim for laborers
wag«fc but in all cases the result is
the ('•fcliscation of the property and
its division among the parties who
hold official position. The officials
Installed for the protection of the
people are the despoilers. There is
no recourse, as an appeal to other
officials brines nothing but further
spoliation if there is any property
left.
* Thr conditions in which Mexicans j
fn«l themselves are so intolerable'
that uprisings against Obregon s,
rule are reported in many parts of j
the country. These movements are;
spontaneous and disconnected. Thus
far the Obregon organization has;
been able to suppress these revolts,
but ns they grow more numerous
and formidable the defections from
Obregon's army threaten to weaken
his military power to the point where
he mtv be overthrown. The lack
of a leader who can bring revolu
tionarv movements into one effort
seems to be the only reason for Ob
jegon's continued lease of power.
The other day it was announced
that the Mexican supreme court had
rendered a very important decision j
which was likely to lead to recogni-;
tlon by the United States. The tie- ;
clsion was to the effect that a lessee
of lands, the lease dating prior to
the adoption of the Mexican consti
tution, March 1. 1017, has an ac
quired right which is unaffected by
the nationalization of the petroleum ^
resources. This being the fifth de- j
cision of like character, and five de- |
clsions being considered to establish
a precedent under the Mexican prac
the. It has been thought by some to j
meet the objections which have re-j
attained the United States from ac-j
cording Mexico recognition. It was'
significant that the state department,
officials at Washington were reticent
and refused to comment until fur
ther advised. i
All along those officials have in-j
sisted that all they ask is assurance
that the rights of Americans legitl- (
inately acquired in Mexico shall not j
1* confiscated. Secretary Hughes’ 1
words were:
• Whenever Mexico is ready to give I
assurances that she will perform her .
fundamental obligation in the pro- j
tection both of persons and of rights (
of property validly acquired, there
will be no obstacles to the most ad
vantageous relations between the two
peoples.”
Mexico has been asked to sign a
treaty in which she would agree to.
safeguard those rights. This she has
not done, one reason advanced by
friends of the Obregon government
being that for the present at least
It must not arpear that Obregon is
yielding to any pressure from the
United States, otherwise he would
lose his political ^rlp on the situa
tion. Furthermore, the decision
shove referred to isn't comprehen
sive enough to provide safeguards
ngairst confiscation of other than oil 1
lands, the owners of which in many J
instances are aaid to be having ex- \
cetdlngly difficult relations with the <
Obregon government. *

WHO TOLD US THE MAJESTIC WAS THE BIGGEST
GERMANY HAD?
THE LYNCHING DISGRACE
Tho Dyer anti-lynching' bill now
before Congress, but ■which good
authorities declare to be unconsti
tutional, would penalize, the county
in which the lynching occurs. If this
objection should prevail it might
under some conditions warrant defer
ring the matter altogether for the
present. Dut those who have tasted
the blood of the lynching as con
ducted in the South will not refrain.
Instead, during the past few weeks
they have been defiantly active, and
fiendishly brutal.
The details reported respecting !
those murders are horrible and show
that the worst feature of the crime,
the brutalizing of the community in
w hich it occurs, is developing alarm
ingly. The Boston Transcript urges
that national control and suppression
of this evil are necessary and if .
Congress is unable to find a remedy j
there should be an amendment to the j
Constitution, which by the way ]
would, of course, have to be ratified j
by three fourths of all the states.
In the light of the statistics of j
lynching could they well refuse'.'
These show that during the period 1
1SS3 to 1P13 there were lynched in I
this country 3234 human beings of ]
whom 2522 were negroes. 50 of them j
women. Of this total the North ;
lynched 213, the West 136, Alaska and j
unidentified localities 13 and the j
South 2S34. Is the South proud of !
it? If not may dependence be placed
on Southern states to assist in pass- 1
ing an amendment or would they find j
some pretext for opposing it, such |
as giving too much power to central ;
government?
Too bad, after the philologists la- |
bored to reach the far-fetched con
elusion that "tuck-a-dunt" was equi- |
valent to the more familiar "tinker's!
dam” to have Lady Astor speak up
and declare she never said It, never
heard the expression before and has
no Idea what it means.—Biddeford
Journal.
But think what a lot of ammunition
It afforded the squib artists!
"Money talks,” but it also usually !
knows when to keep still. It isn’t !
making much noise at Paris right j

v.lion serious trouble was a. possibili
ty by the visits to Bangor of many

revolvers were purchased and these
have been added to since. On
Thursday of last peek another con
signment was received, purchased by
order of the mayor.

Editorial Comment
Bstcha!
(Boston Transcript)
One way for Americans to avoid
the present hot wave, in Paris is to go
to the Maine coast for their summer
vacation.
Turn Dawes Loose
(Boston Globe)
Suggestions to the Republican
’ leaders in the Senate on how to
; maintain a quorum: turn Gen. Dawes
| loose on the Senators who fail to
show up daily, and instruct him to
I dock them a day's pay for each day's
! absence. With the proceeds wipe out
I the National debt.
Republican Absenteeism
(Washington Post)
The situation in the Senate at this
i moment constitutes an indictment of
i the good sense of the Republican
| party. At this moment, when Con
gress is under the fire of criticism,
; and the record of the Republican
j party is under scrutiny, when mil
i lions of voters are making up their
minds on the evidence presented, the
; Republicans of the Senate are making
; a record of absenteeism and neglect
\ of public business that will surely
return to plague them.
Tile tariff lull is before the Senate,
j It should either be passed or defeated.
! The debate upon the measure is half
I hearted on the part of Republicans
j and of a filibustering character on
; the part of Democrats. The Demo
cratic strategy is to delay the pas
sage of the bill as long as possible,
in order that the Republican party
I may not reap any credit at the elec
tion for the benefits that may have
j accrued under the law. Obviously
i it should be the strategy of the Re
publicans. if they believe in the bill,
to push it through to early enact
ment. so that the country may feel
the benefits and reward the party by
electing a Republican Congress.
Yet. in spite of the advantage that
I could be gained by prompt action—
always assuming that the tariff bill
would benefit the country—the Senate
Republicans habitually absent them
selves from the debate and from the
Senate. Many of them are absent
from Washington, neglecting not only
tariff-making, but all other public
business. Some of these senators arc
away mending their fences, while
others are enjoying more or less well
earned vacations.
