A Plea For Help
Several months ago trouble be¬
tween this country and* Mexico
seemed imminent. Fires of distrust
and suspicion, created and fostered
largely by floods of propaganda,
smouldered, and were apparently
ready to burst into the flames of
war. Certain factions that for
many years past have kept the
Mexican people in subjugation and
who;e hold has only recently been
recently been loosened to some ex¬
tent by the Calles Administration
eagerly sought intervention by the
United Stales in hopes that they
might regain their paver.
Fortunately, the leaders of both
countries were wise and far-seeing
enough to investigate and smooth
out the difficulties; dispell distrust
by thoroughly investigating and
compromising on the points of con¬
tention. The work of Ambassador
.Morrow and the .visits of Lind¬
bergh further cemented the ties of
friendship between Mexica and
this county.
Though realizing the futility of
their efforts to bring about inter¬
vention on the part of the United
Stales, the Catholic Church lias
with increased vigor continued in
its efforts to overthrow the Calles
Administration by constantly urg¬
ing the people of Mexico to revolt
But their success m that direction
has been of little consequence as
the evidences of prosperity and
progress b: ought about through the
enlightened policy of education
and liberality are obvious to and
appreciated by the majority of
Mexico and this country.
An example of the Catholic
Church’s attitude of intolerance to
ward t he Mexican Government
was given recently in California.
A group of twenty Mexican edu
cators, under the auspices of the
International Council for Educa¬
tional Progress, visiting .that slate
to study educational methods, were
attending a banquet given in their
honor in San Francisco. Rev. D.
J. Kavanagh, Jesuit Priest of St
Ignatius College, was present, A
,toa*t to President Calles was pro¬
posed by the host, Alfred Holman
San Francisco, representative of
the Carnegie Endowment for Inter¬
national Peace. Immediately tlie
gathering stood, all but Rev.
Kavanagh who remained seated
and pushed 1 is glass away. Then
he left 1 he room. Rev. C. J. Mc¬
Coy, S. J., president of Santa
Clara University, hearing of the
toast, announced that the group of
educators would not be welcomed
at his university and cancelled the
luncheon and reception to have
been held in their honor. Such
examples of enmity, hatied and in¬
tolerance towards an administra¬
tion doing all in its power to fur¬
ther the progress of a people that
have long been kept in ignorance
and poverty, will not be looked
upon with favor by Americans...
Rattier, let us heed the vords of
a Mexican boy orator, who in a
speeefi delivered in Tuscon. Ari¬
zona, described conditions existing
in his country and plead for Ameri¬
can help and sympathy. lie said
in part:
‘ Four hundred years of church
domination in Mexico have meant
four hundred years of slavery—
mental, physical, and spiritual!
Christianity, as introduced into
Mexico, has been and is today the
greatest example of exploitation
ever recorded. It rests upon the
people like a black fog. There is
darkness all about. All is mystery.
The people know nothing! No.
there is no need in Mexico for that
kind of religion. The greatest need
there now is for schools, more
schools, and for the free teaching
of the humble, loving, liberating
doctrines of the Man who gave His

A wedding of much interest to
their wide circle of friends was
that of Mr. Grady Henley to Miss

Saturday at the home of Editor

Grady intimated to his close
friends several days previous to
this exciting occasion that he was
going to fool them right away.
Sure enough he did.

complished and popular daughter

held at Little Rock, Ark.
She lias been a teacher in the
public schools of this and other
counties of the state for a number
of years and is a very likable
young lady with a host of friends.

Fanaticism has been the cause of
Mexico’s sad retrogression!
“The government has curried on
a tremendous fight against ignor¬
ance and superstition. There were
in Mexico in 1910 seven thousand
--cliools, while on the other hand
there were eleven thousand
churches. Recent reports show
that by the end of last year the
government had established 15,000
new schools and is planning this
year to establish 1,000 more. . ,
“The Mexican peon has long
looked forward to the day when lie
shall possess the rights that are his
by gift of God. lie longs for Hie
